Twistedvelvet Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Janet Jackson (in a specially designed kimono and nine-inch platform heels) got video-ready with extra workouts with trainer Tony Martinez. "I still want to do a little bit more toning," she said. "I like myself best when I’m preparing for a tour, ’cause I’m a lot more fit." With five wardrobe changes in all, "we pushed it as far as we could go," says make-up artist Fran Cooper. "We tried to get a goddess feel." … Her metal corset (top right) was inspired by the African Masal tribe. "The sway of my back has always been the body part that I’ve liked the most," Jackson said. …Famed director Hype Williams said "We wanted it to feel like we were painting a beautiful picture," Williams said. The theme is a blend of live action and animation, the videp is inspired by the children’s classic Aestop’s Fables. "It’s a lot of fun and whimsical," says Jackson. ---------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Enjoi Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 A lot of people hate this video. Personally, I don't but it doesn't fit the song. Something this beautiful belonged to a better song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedvelvet Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 For me its all about the outfits....plus the colours in the video are so beautiful If it were a certain unnamed current star, it would be considered 'original'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henrietta. Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Horrible flashback I always imagined that's how a "China Love" video would have been but with better moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonlight Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Good song, bad video. And I'm a fan of color, but Jesus. I actually like bits and pieces of the concept & what they tried to go for it just needed more orginization Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedvelvet Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 The Mohawk/outfit/scene is fire though. You have to admit this. I personally think they captured the theme and the inspirations well. Ultimately they are in a fairytale land but it goes deeper than that. Janet is trapped and lost so 'calls on' Nelly to come and rescue her -the beginning. He comes in the ship and Janet is there waiting for him - nelly on the ship/Janet on the bridge. she is set free - rose scene and happy ever after. Obvious!

Elixabef Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Personally, I don't like the song or the video, and find it best to act as if they never happened. It was all over the place.
