Wow, so based on these comments I think we can all pretty much agree that "Got 'Til It's Gone" is just a great track, no matter how long it took you to realize it. lol. Good stuff.

I was blown away when I first heard it because it was so different from what I had come to expect from Janet. I liked it instantly. It was different for me because it wasn't a lyric heavy song. I was used to Janet tracks being very lyric heavy, but she went another route. I was also so impressed with the way she sampled Big Yellow Taxi. I remember hearing on MTV before the single dropped that she sampled Joni Mitchell, so I was curious how she would sample the music, but in usual Janet style, she flipped the script and sampled the lyric and made it part of the song. Such a very layered track, but also so simple at the same time. Classic!

Got til its gone.... Timeless joint. These other chicks will never step outside their safe zone like Janet did in this one song and video and create a classic of all classics.
Love it to death. Play it at my funeral. Yeah... Thats my last dying wish. I want this song played at my funeral. Ha ha.

Well summed up, sarah. I think J agrees with us that the track is a classic. She's done it on every tour since it came out, even leaving out songs that charted higher (in the U.S. anyhow, the only country she's toured lately...) like Because of Love, ATAP, YWT, STCML, and even SOAG and keeping GTIG in.
Dream performance - performing it with Joni...how hot would that be? then maybe go into J's unreleased cover of Joni's "Beat of Black Wings"
Ima shut it now on GTIG, but lastly here's a great clip of GTIG @ RWU tour in Jersey...
