Video of the week: Janet Jackson “Make Me”

Miss Jackson is back and she is back with a vengence. This time with a posh new video directed by Robert Hales, who did the excellent Gnarls Barkley “Crazy” video. Premise of the video is simple, shot entirely in black and white, shows Janet and her dancers doing their slick moves. In between, shots of Janet in various designer costumes (Canadian designer Todd Lynn Spring 2010 collection in full swing here) posing and writhing around on a designer lounge chair and with some special effects added in the mix. Some might say it looks like Janet’s previous video “Scream” which she did with her late brother but perhaps it is intentionally as the dance moves is very Michael and her singing “Don’t stop till you get it up”….a nod to Michael’s “Don’t stop till you get enough”. The mood of the video is simple, fun, funky and the Janet from the 80′s that we know and love. Before she went all slutty.
