Michael & Janet, Together Again

We normally wouldn't consider posting user-generated video mash-ups, but when this came across our virtual desks we simply could not resist. The friendly competition between Janet Jackson and her brother Michael has always been legendary, but it remains that, in the grand scheme of things, their only competition was each other. Effrem Adams expertly blends some of their best-loved singles along with cleverly-edited, beat-matched video sequences into a solid tribute, culminating in a meeting of Janet's "Rock With U" with Michael's "Rock With You." Bravo!


Tracks used for this tribute:

  • "Rhythm Nation"
  • "Black Or White"
  • "Jam"
  • "Bad"
  • "Feedback"
  • "Nasty"
  • "All For You (Video Version)"
  • "Pleasure Principle"
  • "Alright"
  • "Escapade"
  • "Thriller"
  • "Rock With You"
  • "Rock With U"

Thanks so much for posting this!! Between her break-up with Jermaine and the death of her brother I am sure Janet is going to have a lot she wants to express on her next album. Great video, true legends, I just hope we can appreciate Janet while she is still here with us!

All I can say is WOW!!! Thisis pure magic. It's amazing that all that talent came from Joe and Katherine Jackson. What are the odds of lightening striking twice within the same family?? R.I.P MJ and may god contiune to bless us JJ and the rest of the family.

He did an amazing job, it was seamless! Michael and Janet have contributed so much to r&b/pop music. I had goosebumps when watching this!

If there is no testament ever made again to the contributions of Mike and Janet to pop music, this is it. This 9 minutes of pleasure made hairs stand up on my skin. An earlier poster said "they were on another level of artistry" and as much as I am a super fan of the family, watching this video really hit me. If not another Jackson record comes out, they have forever sealed themselves as ICONs. This video mash-up is legendary.

That was simply awesome! The mash-up really brings out the synergy shared in their work. This brought a smile to my face following the deeply sad news regarding the passing of author E Lynn Harris. May he R.I.P.
