Great song and the video is incredible. It shows Janet at her peak, at that time, she was the coolest and hippest singer around and she goes toe-to-toe with him in the superstar department in the video. the video has really held up. I think I remember Janet giving an interview not long after saying she was unhappy with the way her voice was buried in the mix and would not be doing another song with Michael again because of it.

I think the song is awful, and the video is so indulgent. Much ado about nothing.
I still love Mikey. RIP, luv.

I like it. I barely recognized Janet when I first saw the video.

^ Yep. Apparently MJ wasn't ready to let his little sister upstage him. (although she did)

I love it. Could it feature Janet's best vocal performance ever? hm... no. just because it isn't Janet's usual soft voice doesn't mean it's better.

I'll always be in love with this song and the video is still amazing to this very day. I'd say it's my fav. Jackson related song ever actually.

His best video IMO and I love how the lyrics were just him finally going off on the press after the 93 child molestation charges. Loved it.
"Tired of injustice, I'm tired of the scheme, the lies are disgusting, so what does it mean damnit... kicking me down, I've got to get up as jacked as it sounds the whole system sucks damnit".
I wish this had been a huge #1 single back in the summer of 95, I am suprised it peaked so low on pop

I like it, but it was understandable that radio didn't love the track- these media-answer songs never really endure at radio.
Cool video, too. Self-indulgent? Absolutely- but who cares.

This isn't one of my faves from either of them but I too love the video. Especially Janet's look.
I do like some of the remixes though.

I really really love this one. It's really different, but I've loved it since the first time I heard it.

Every thang about this is entrancing. The visuals, the sound, the vocals , the productions. It's a display of force and anger that is just enthralling to watch.

The video to this was always more amazing than the song itself IMO. It definitely elevates it, seeing these two titans performing together, it was (and still is) a huge moment.
The song itself is a jam though.
