Best music video dance choreography

(There is no rule to this thread, but personally I'm not counting any Michael Jackson videos).

I nominate Janet Jackson's "Miss You Much". I usually just "listen" to music videos; only occasionally will I look up from whatever I'm doing to actually watch them. But "Miss You Much" ALWAYS stops me in my tracks. I'll sit there like a cat, concentrating on the precision of the movements, wishing I could imitate just a fraction of it.

I'm dating myself and calling into question my musical tastes - but I always liked the dancing to "Cold Hearted"

WTF is that purple monstrosity to the left of the screen?! Who could watch dancing when curled up in fear beneath the desk?

I always liked Janet Jackson's "Rhythm Nation 1814". It had some impressive choreograhy.

I believe that is the repellent talentless lump known as Nicki Minaj. She doesn't even have a proper name.

I like Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation, and Paula Abdul's Opposites Attract.

Sort of a proto-music video--Daddy's Song with Davy Jones and Toni Basil
