I am very dissapointed in the video. Why can’t she just come out and dance like she did back in the day. It’s as though she is trying to be so different. Sometimes, less is more. I am not feeling this at all. Damn, I was actually all excited to see your come back and you have let me down once more.

I wasn’t very impressed by the video. I feel very similar to #2 comments. The song is great and needs sme edgy energy like house dancers or something. It should have been a straight dance track. The song is too fierce for the video.

Love the song; Janet looks hot; I like how the video starts, and some of the elements of it – especially that sort of Xanadu moment when she’s falling with the beams of light coming off her. But yeah – they start out in space and then end up in a lava lamp? Filled with milk? I don’t get it, but that’s okay.

this video is awesome….i think we’ve a society that is accustomed to stayin inside a box….videos all look the same, and people are happy to watch the same videos done over and over….this video is unlike any other video that is out…..the director has a great original eye…and i love what he has done…this video is something different from janet and i always applaud creativity…..she is workin that cat suit, and the red cat suit…WHAT! SHE IS GIVING YOU FIERCENESS IN THIS VIDEO when she grabd her ponytail i damn near died, she is givin the kids what we want, and i love every second of it….so dont be disappointed, be entertained, and open your mind….the song is great…create your own , and love yourself…..

1 – I think it’s quite evident that this video was going for a super high budget look without the high budget. The special effects are cheap as chips.
2 – Whats going on with the concept? So okay,she’s in space on mini asteroids (the studio lighting is really bad here). Then theres the silhouette moon dust part that could have looked awesome if done differently. Then shes in a giant glass of Milk? Wtf.
3 – This video is gonna age really badly. It already looks like a mid 90s European video, let alone giving it a few years.
Janet Jackson has had some of the most amazing music videos ever. From the hot dance routines of everything from ‘Rhythmn Nation’ to ‘If’, to the fun and wackiness of ‘Scream’ to the beautiful, beautiful cinematography of songs as varied as ‘Got ’til it’s Gone’, ‘All Night (Don’t Stop)’ and ‘So Excited, shes almost always delivered (and if she hasn’t, the song often isn’t up to scratch either) but this time she’s got a HOOOOTTTTT song with a cheap, boring and downright odd video. What a letdown…

The over the top special effects takes away from the song and choreography. Most of her recent videos have relied heavily on the unnecessary computer graphics.

January 8, 2008 at 3:46 pm
I agree with lsaam. Janet is fierce, the song is fierce and the video although in need of some directoral tweaking, (the darkness at the beginning was a little too much; love the outerspace concept but it could have been done a little differently) is also fierce. Work, Janet!
Gina
January 8, 2008 at 3:48 pm
I must admit I had to watch it a couple of times for it to grow on me. It is definitely different, and not just your average music video you see on TV these days. Very Creative, Futuristic, and European. I especially loved the end, when she is in the red catsuit…can we say HOT?! This just proves that Janet is on a completely different level…

January 8, 2008 at 3:57 pm
Uhm, B. Scott, your choreography was more interesting and innovative. She usually comes brand new with the dance moves, but not this time. Yeah, she still is on point with her dancing, but it’s stuff she’s done before and what everyone has copied from her. And they waited way too long into the song to start dancing. I still don’t understand the theme and how it relates to the lyrics. I feel like I’ve seen her in that same costume in a previous project, but Janet still looks good. Her body is banging. She still has it, but it’s like she’s not collabbing with the right folks. But yeah, the end was nice.

I am a Janet Jackson fan for life. I will pick up DISCIPLINE when it hits stores. Now with this video I must say that it was a bit to dark in the beginning for my liking especially after her past videos for “All Night Don’t Stop” and “So Excited” were shot dark…I would have thought for this video it would have been more excitement (i.e. lighting affects).
My idea concept for the video would have been her jet-setting around the world in a leer jet club hopping in perse Tokoyo, NYC, Paris…and places like that.
Janet “Feedback” needs a serious re-do mama! Love the song but the video just ain’t working in my opinion!
xclnt_choice
January 8, 2008 at 3:59 pm
The song is fierce that video killed the fierceness of the song.
Nonetheless I’m going to buy that CD even if feedback is the only song I like!
Brandon
January 8, 2008 at 3:59 pm
FIERCE!
That’s all there is to it.
I’ll admit, the CONCEPT is a little out there…but Janet herself has never looked better.
I agree with Isaam, Janet is SERVING UP FIERCE! The way she was moving in the video, whippin and grabbing that ponytail!? The choreography was HAWT and classic Janet…and the red catsuit at the end!? Drag queens BOW DOWN!
I think the only thing people have problems with in the video is the weird concept (which I like), but Janet herself is HELLA on point.

I stan out for Janet but this video was weak. The track hits too hard to not have a hot dance video accompany it. I get the idea that Janet is “taking over that galaxy” but it coulda been done a little more like “scream” and a little less like “ALF”.
Oh, here’s a non-grapejuice link for the video btw: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3zr9h_janet-jackson-feedback_music
mz shannon
January 8, 2008 at 4:09 pm
There is a BIG story/meaning behind the video. I was hesitant at first when I seen it but after watching it over and reading the explanation..the video is really hot.
here it is:
mz shannon
January 8, 2008 at 4:10 pm
It’s Mario Galaxy meets Barbarella meets clash of Titans. Each of the Daft Punk androids rules one of the plants. Notice there are 9 people in the video. Counting Pluto, which I still do, how many planets are in our solar system? They are all climbing over their planets stalking each other. It’s a metaphor. Live with it.
Dancing = Battle.
They are fighting and Janet jumps down off of her planet into a place with a very viscous white fluid. Sure you can take the easy road to what it’s supposed to be, or just be more metaphorical and look at it as the soup in which the universe is formed. The breakdown is the final battle. They all fall in behind her, it’s about to go down.
Everyone’s planets start falling and crashing into the soup of life. Janet smashes (dances) until she breaks the last planet with her hand and all of the Daft Punk androids get sucked back into the soup of life. A new Janet is shot out of the soup – free of her constraints, free of her battle gear and begins to organize the spheres of light to her making – lining up the planets the way she wants them. When she gets them just right she thrusts the last one forward, releasing them in to the universe. Thousands of spheres that shoot out of the soup of life back into space.
She sees evil around her, decides to leave her planet behind to go and fight this evil and when she wins, she gets to create the Universe she wants to live in.

NOW THIS VIDEO IS BOUND TO HAVE PEOPLE TALKIN FOR THE MERE FACT THAT ITS DIFFERENT, VERY EUORPEAN. LETS EXPERIEMENT WITH JANET…THE SONG IS A HIT…WE GOT THAT, LETS THAT THIS VOYAGE WITH HER VISUALLY….SHE’S BEEN GIVING US WHAT MISSY AND OTHER ARTIST SOON DUPLICATED……jANET CAN GIVE YOU BEAUTY SHOTS, AND FULL BLOWN CHOREOGRAPHED VIDEOS…..WE HAVE OTHER SINGLES TO GET THAT FROM HER. SO SHE GAVE YOU SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT WITH OUT SHOWING HER TITIES MIGHT I ADD….LETS GIVE IT UP…LIKE CELION DION SAYS ” SHE NOT AFRAID OF TAKIN CHANCES”

January 8, 2008 at 4:15 pm
She should have danced more. The whole theme of the vid was just not hitting at all. Dancing in space??? This should be done over with a remix or something. Too hot of a song to have this kind of video.

January 8, 2008 at 4:40 pm
i don’t see how the video is “the same old, same old” from Janet. Call On Me was just a damn mess, So Excited was All Nite pt. 2, I Want You?…mess. This video actually has a strong, positive, confident message, it’s just shot/made in a extensively creative and metaphorical way. A lot of people think it’s one of her best concept videos.
Oh well! To each his own.

Wow you would think everyone would support janet being that she is a black woman who has set the mark and opend plenty of door for the new artist today such a the beyonces and ciaras and brittneys. Come on you guys why do you people never have anything good to say? You can clearly that janet is a innovator. Does your music video look like hers? no? then sit back and relax and stop hating. what artist do you know can stay around in the music business for 25 years and still keep it hot? do yall think ciara will be around 25 years from now or how about rhianna? no? well lets try ashanti? no? ok one last try how about kelly rowland? no? i dint think so.

Janet goes beyond catchy song lyrics. That’s why she’s an innovator. What did space have to do with “Scream”? What did dancing around in a CGI world have to do with “Doesn’t Really Matter”? What did dancing with a zoo of animals and in the jungle have to do with “Together Again”? Or dancing in an Apartheid era club have to do with “Got Til It’s Gone?”
Hmmm??? Visionary! & The video was far from cheap. The director is a genius.

Could not agree more with most. This video is a total let down. Wonderful dance track, mind you I am not the biggest Janet fan, but this song was on that I really felt and she went a blew it with tis video. I understand wanting to come hard with with this video but this hard totally sucked. I was looking for something where she was in the club banging maybe a dance off or something. Sorry Janet youwere wrong on this one. Remember that All For U video. That was the shit.

January 8, 2008 at 7:13 pm
I have to agree with the majority of #23,etc.and the comment “THE DAYUM PONY TAIL KEPT GETTIN IN THE WAY..”Janet, your director disappoints me — the video does convey sexiness with the song. You should have worn something more colorful (like the red ensemble in the end of video) – Perfect Ending!! Suggestion: Scene 1: Scene should have conveyed Sexy, Sexy, Sexy, like colorful ensembles of lingerie, sexy, sexy, sexy, sexy… Work it out!It should have conveyed lots of dancing, and sexiness. . . Janet, where is the ole’ Janet, please come back to us. Like the video “Control” now that was the bombdiggity. Janet, your video is NOT hot, it’s just not that great or exciting. I wanted to exit immediately. You still my dance girl…let MichaelJ, your brother, be the director/producer of the video next time!!! He would know what to do!!! Look at all of MJ’s previous videos!! Ending was nice, beginning — TERRIBLE. Please redo the video. I love your style. . .the big pigtail and hair drama in first scenes has to go out the window!! Please redo the video. . .Love you always. . .

It wasn’t as bad as you all made out… it’s just a bit… slowly paced. It reminds me of Oops I did it again vs umbrella. Haha, gotta love that fringe. I thought there would be more flashes of dancing throughout, but oh well… it will be… uh, memorable.

…And we wonder why Superman works alone. Janet is in a class all by herself. It’s funny to me, how society loves to keep folks in a certain box, just to fit ones needs. JANET IS AN ARTIST before I am–HER FAN. This is a other GREAT video by her. And at the age of 41, still doing, creating music..(not to mention this is just 1 song/video of the cd…lol) to be honest, I would save all the damn energy I could…LOL

I’m tired of the same old nekked booty videos. This was actually very refreshing. This video is very Jackson.
But all I’m really saying is that my first day period ain’t heavy. Do your thing Janet girl!

lovemuffin#1 who the hell are you to say I am no fan? I am a fan. I have all her CD’s including her so called flops. I have been to every concert. Hell, I even have the Sankofa tattoo on my wrist and back. And a tattoo of Janet’s signature on my shoulder with a heart in the loop of the J. Not a fan? Who the fuck cares if I don’t care for this video. I already stated I would continue to be a fan for life. I love the song. In the words of B Scott, you are a Monkey Doodle Fool! Ha!

Well, I mean I’m surprised that people are actually surprised that her video came out like this. 95% of the time Janet Jackson’s videos are never what you expect. I do agree that the special effects weren’t so special (I think the bowl of milk and cereal was supposed to look like a milky planet with asteroids but it didn’t work out too well…)anywho, I like it more so then hate it.

This was a good concept and I like that she did something different. Everyone was expecting a sexy dance video, but she’s done that already…many many times. I do feel, however, that the post production wasn’t as good as it could’ve been. Remember, Janet was on a green screen so she didn’t see any of this until after it was done…and I’m sure it was expensive…so who knows, Janet may not even like the final cut.

Different and if you can’t get with it then you can go back to the little box you came out of. Think a little out of the box and expand the mind.
I like the video. She did the boom kats, gave it to you, and came different. Janet is not predictable and the disappointment of everyone comes from her not being predictable.
Also for those who are disappointed in the video, don’t worry, the live performance never disappoints. She won’t have special effects to hide behind. For example, I loved the live All Night performances more than the video.

I LOVE IT!!! As far as the negative comments above, I know everyone has their own opinion and even I had a different thoughts on how I think the video should have gone. I wonder can any artist or anyone for that matter PLEASE EVERYONE. That would be some feat. Ms. Janet is giving it to us and taking the lead once again. I think Mama is trying to get an action movie role. Very Matrix, and Sci-Fi looking. Ok, the Diva has done it again. Can’t wait to see the live performance. For those who wanted more dancing, just wait.

Loveeeeeeeeeeee this song!!!
However, don’t you miss the older videos where she focused more on dancing??…that’s her claim to fame…the moves!!!
Come on Janet….bring the dancing back girl!!! We got you!….
So in essence, I love the song but wish it was more dancing (cause girl got moves fbetter than any chick in the game) and not all the special effects….
B you gave more energy in your video and it was homemade….

I agree with the person above who stated that this video will go down as one of Janet’s best.
Got Til Its gone was totally boobooed by most of the black community but I think we can see that Janet is isn’t catering to just them (as she did with 20 YO) she’s going with a more internation flavor.
I think the video will still be dissected and discussed.
I really appreciate it for its creativity.
I guess B.Scott didn’t like it since he ain’t said nothing. But hey if you can’t say something nice…

I guess the entire video is a personal statement. She lives on her own planet, and when she’s about to fall, she finds a new one to plant herself on. It’s very different than what all the others females have out. I’m trying to discern what all that milk means.
Anyone?

The director, choreographer, and Janet dropped the ball on this one. The song has too much energy for such a lame ass video. I’ve been waiting weeks for THAT crap? Highly disappointed.

ok usually when i hear a song i luv i make up a video in my head and actually b scotts dancin vid was the reason i luv this song so much… but in my head it was choreography all the way through, i mean come on this is a song u cant help but dance all the way through but this 40-somehing heffa wanna slide her puss on planets and pull her ponytail in space, the she leaps 2 this milk sperm lookin planet lookin like a year 2050 hott future mess… i expected soooooooooooooo much more from ms jackson if u retarted… this mess had 2 come from hype williams, it kinda reminds me of when i 1st heard beyonces deja vo, i luved it till i seen the video, her dumb ass in a plantation beatin on walls and runnin thro corn feilds in jimmy cho pumps lookin 4 jay z, i mean these bitchez has lost they mind… i still luv the song tho

the video was very disappointing. if you ask me the ending where she is in the red was the best part, the whole video should have been that way plus a better version of that mediocre dance sequence. tsk tsk

Beyonce shouldn’t have even been mentioned in your comment. If you think Beyonce isn’t good at all, which is what I am thinking from your comment, why compare her to Janet?? That’s what u call, a straight up genuine hater! And Beyonce has done plenty of wonderful videos waaayyyy better than this one, so don’t even go there!!!

January 9, 2008 at 4:53 pm
i knew already & luv the song before seen this video so i’ll only leave a comment about the movie… i like very much the stylish mood (futurist-parodic view) but too dark & with the slow motion fx it does not stick at all with the festive spirit of the music, so my conclusion is that the video is very good but not adapted to the song… that said, i should add that the ending part is brilliant!! simple idea but magic!

January 9, 2008 at 5:01 pm
oh one more thing… the choregraphy is working with the futurist style of the video but miss the energy of the song…

after watching B. Scott dance from it, i actually started liking the song.. the video had me stumped until ms.shannon explained the meaning then i went and watched it again and like it much better.. i’m sure after watching a few more times it will grow on me.

all of you that are saying the video sucks or u dont get it, or people that are saying u wish she would have done it in a club, is just why yall need to step out of the box a club video is so cliche, im glad she did wht she did how she did it, just because u dont understand something doesnt mean it sucks, some of yall need to upgrade the intellect i assume u possess

Well I have to admit, I was never really a Janet fan…and thought she reached her peak 15 years ago when she did “That’s the Way love Goes” and “If”. I think the song “Feedback” is ok. It grew on after 2nd or 3rd time. But then I saw the video and I actually like it! I don’t really understand the concept…except it was futuristic. I thought the choreography was tight and sequenced perfectly. The choreography supported the hard beats in the song. And at 40+ Janet can still bust a move. Obviously I enjoyed the second part of video. Does anyone know who choreogrphed this? It looks like Fatima’s work. I liked every step she choreographed for Aaliyah.

January 12, 2008 at 1:10 am
Please, hopefully B Scott don’t even think he’s in Janet league regardless of the lies ppl are saying to him on this forum. I the video is awesome, innovative, creative and the dance moves was spectacular and this is why Janet been around 25+ yrs. It surely not because she making videos in some damn club like everyone else. You ppl will never learn. Janet is successful and last this long because of her creativity like the feedback video. When she stop being creative, then her career is ova and you guys just don’t get that, do ya.

OMG this lovemuffin is sloy as hell. I just realized the purpose of the milk was to represent the Milky Way.
Anyway I still think she tore the video and song up, its different from what is out there now. She looked good too(no muffin-lover here).
…And she did do that ponytail for the kids btw…and they love her for it. I guess that’s why beyonce does the lace front..for the kids.

I must say that there are alot of various comments, most from what I would say are young gay boys with alot of attitude and little knowledge about Real music, talent, videos or the business side of it. All they care about is “fierceness” LoL. Too damn funny.
For her to be in the business for over 25years and listed the “Second” Richest Black Female in the Entertainment Business says alot.
For America (both) black, white, asian and latinos to be curious and on pins and needles about each and every project says alot. It says that folk are interested and that they believe in her past, present and obiviously her future endeavors.
She has paved the way for every young
female entertainer we see today. Most of her video concepts, dance moves and even here sense of style has been reworked and duplicated.
So dont think without some REAL knowledge of the what the business and longevity is really about!
I welcome your “Feedback”

this track ROCKS, our girl is back on track, however video is way dissapointing. Way too dark at the beginning, very little dancing and left too late into the video. I pray this track brings Jan back on top where she belongs but this very poor video certainly wont help!!!!

wow.. this is amazing!!!! The best video Ive seen since I can remember. The concept is hot.. the dancing is hot and she looks hot. (Im not sure what else people are wanting) The best of luck to Janet and her new album. But it seems like people almost “want” to tear her down. But you guys still love and listen to Madonna (who is really boring to me these days) I dont know? Its weird.

I agree with the statement made abouve. It’s vanguard plain and simple and almost reminds me of the “Can You Feel It” video that the Jackson’s did at the end of thier career together (Victory Tour)it was amazing and I feel that she pushed the boundaries a lil further out for herself by doing the video in a way that was fresh , modern and lent itself to the energy of the track…pretty exciting visually and the choreography was tightly notched and trust me, you’ll be hard pressed to find any female performer out ther who brings it the way she does…Period.
No offense to other females out there in the game, but Janet is an icon.

this vid, while obviously expensive — doesn’t quite do it for me. i think i was prepared for more dancing because of the nature of the song, and the dancing that she does do is not as energetic as i was expecting. i thought the red & white scene at the end was cute though.
