Great song! Classic guitar solo. When the video was first released, I was blown away. I remember this debuted within the top 10 on muchmusic.. didnt it? I know it's the highest debut ever on muchmusic.

I am as well dumbfounded. This song should've been a no brainer for #1. This was probably MJ's best song since his "Bad" era. The video was as good as it gets. However it is not my favorite song off "HIStory". That honor belongs to "Earth Song". His first and only #1 on my personal chart

Good song & good video, though they were both overhyped. I haven't heard it at all since about 3 months after it fell off the charts.

Overhyped yes, but far better than anything that Janet or Michael has done since. Especially Janet.

Great song. Probably my 3rd favourite single off the "HIStory" album. (3rd after "Stranger In Moscow" and "They Don't Care About Us")

My thinking exactly. Janet's worst hit ever. And they looked scary in that video. Wasn't it one of the most expensive videos of all time? Like the song, hated the video. It was so over the top vision-wise.

Wasn't it one of the most expensive videos of all time? At $7 million, it's still the most expensive video ever made, as far as I know. I totally liked the song and the video, even though the Michael/Janet collaboration wasn't what I was expecting. I don't think it was until a year or two later that I realized (and was very surprised) that not only did video outlets blur out Janet's middle finger (which I knew), but that right when that happens, Michael says "f**king" instead of "pressuring". Yeah it was overhyped, but I was completely surprised when it topped out at #19 (or so) and fell like a rock. This had #1 written all over it. Yeah, so it wouldn't have had longevity once it got there, but I was very disappointed by how Michael had to rush-release "You Are Not Alone."

JAM! This was a hot track. I just loved the energy of the track.
And the David Morales mix gave it a nice laid back feel. The extended one looped the part where MJ sings "stop fucking with me"

This song is hot but this would drive parents crazy if you played this loud in the house.

I did not like the original version very much. But there was a remix that featured a rap by Treach of Naughty By Nature... That mix was pure fire!
It took forever for me to find it... Anyone else here remember that?
(The extended Morales mix was hot as well... I remember someone playing it on the street in Sydney... Everyone was pretty shocked to hear Michael & Janet saying "Stop f***ing with me.")

Yeah. Great song. Underrated. I didn't like it when it was first released though.

I was in love with this song from day one......it was the first time I really saw Janet playing like a really dark character....and they're choreography together was really cute.... I loved the way his baby sister came to support him during his turbulent media times......
To this day, isn't this the most expensive video ever made???

I actually think it's utterly dreadful. So much hype for such a horrible, nothingy track. Huge disappointment. My thinking exactly. Janet's worst hit ever. And they looked scary in that video. Wasn't it one of the most expensive videos of all time?

The song went to #5 on the Hot 100, #3 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Singles Chart, #1 Hot Dance/Club Play, and #3 UK.
It also when Best Video at the 96 Grammy's.
I think it did good enough.

I like this song. I like Janet, but she looked hella scary in the video. She doesn't need to do that anymore.

I loved this, the last breath of life in his discography until "You Rock My World" and "Butterfly" resuscitated it a bit in 2001. And Janet look hot in the video! And she actually sounded so goooood!

Janet's vocals are great. The most affecting part for me is the short bridge that she speaks.

Also underrated! lol. I feel like people were expecting so much that they didn't appropriate just how good this really is. Excellent song and video... you get to hear Michael curse ("stop f**king with me") and see Janet flip everyone off. That's so the best bit! lol
