Janet Jackson - "Nasty"

[🇯🇲 lucy88 🇯🇲]

This song has become synonymous with her name alone! Definitely her trademark song!

“For Janet, we wanted to bring back the attitude in her,” says Jam (born James Harris III) of making Jackson’s breakout third album, Control. “When she first started singing [‘Nasty’] she was singing it in her regular voice — like in her high voice — but I think she had a cold, and we were like, ‘Why don’t you sing it an octave lower? Can you do that?’ And she said, ‘I don’t know.'” But the duo had developed enough trust with her at that point that “she was cool with trying anything,” says Jam. “Nasty” went on to hit No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100.

This might be my second favorite single from Control. I almost lost it when I was listening to it at the gym yesterday.

Iconic. Iconic. Iconic. Been on an old-school Janet kick and this is at the very top of the list!

Good but not my favorite from "Control" as I prefer "What Have You Done For Me Lately", "When I Think Of You", and "The Pleasure Principle" over it.  When I was younger, I heard this song as an 80s flashback on WGCI, defunct 103.5 Jammin' Oldies and possibly B96 too (they often played her 80s hits as gold titles alongside her then-recent hits in the 90s).

I actually like the Cool Summer Mix over the original/album version.

35 years ago today, Janet Jackson scored a second and final week at No.1 on the Hot Black Singles chart (now called R&B/Hip Hop Songs) with "Nasty," the second single from her third album "Control." 4 weeks later, it reached No.3 on the Hot 100 Singles chart. Janet has reached No.1 on the R&B chart 16 times. "No, my first name ain't baby, it's Janet – Miss Jackson if you're nasty." Such a statement about female empowerment. I love Janet Jackson, what a talented and gorgeous woman she is.

Big fan of hers since the single before this one, What Have You Done For Me Lately. I was living in Peru back then and both videos were played A LOT.
