Remarks:
A Janet Jackson song I never get sick of. I like most of “Rhythm Nation” (1989). Djimon Hounsou appears in the Herb Ritts video for the song. If you are lucky, you can see it above in some form (it often appears on YouTube but then is taken).
Lyrics:
Other guys have tried before
To replace you as my lover
Never did I have a doubt
Boy it’s you I can’t do without
Our friends think we’re opposites
Falling in and out of love
They all said we’d never last
Still we manage to stay together
There’s no easy explanation for it
But whenever there’s a problem
We always work it out somehow
Work it out somehow
They said it wouldn’t last
We had to prove them wrong
’cause I’ve learned in the past
That love will never do without you
Other guys have tried before
To replace you as my lover
Never did I have a doubt
Boy it’s you I can’t do without
I feel better when I have you near me
’cause no other love around
Has quite the same ooh ooh
Like you do do do do babe
They said it wouldn’t last
We had to prove them wrong
’cause I’ve learned in the past
That love will never do without you
They said it wouldn’t last
We had to prove them wrong
’cause I’ve learned in the past
That love will never do without you
I love this song, Janet was one of my fav artist even she didn t have a great voice , she was very perfectionnist , her videos were great and she was one of the best female dancer of her generation.
to me Janet was her best album by far and Velvet Rope was quite good.
I was wondering is it Djimon hosnou in her video?

Yup, Nubiah, that’s Djimon! He also appeared in Paula Abdul’s “Straight Up” video.
This video was directed by the late, great fashion photographer Herb Ritts.

Herb Ritts, that makes sense. It looks like something a fashion photographer would do.

I loved the work of Herb Ritts, this work was so great, very sensual and I loved the way he showed the black body ( so perfect with Djimon).
I would’ve loved to work with him.
He made some good videos of MJ(in the closet, He showed the sexy side of MJ), JLO, Madonna….
