Well this is the thing….her music is historical. She said something that proved true…she’s been in entertainment 51 years….and still able to sell out arenas without dropping music at 58 years old. Even though that’s still young… it’s older in terms of music age. And, she’s smart……she purposely had 4 dancers to put more of a spotlight on her as a performer…..meaning no gimmicks, no huge stage distractions, not 15 dancers….just her! She is one of the greatest performers of all time!
Just seen Janet at Riverbend this past Saturday. Her fashion style was very avantgarde. Liked her new music. And Nelly understood the assignments. Nelly left no crumbs. 💯😎❤️❤️❤️❤️💙
I saw her last year in April and the show was great. Saw her again this past weekend and you are right the show has changed, the set list, the costumes, production....ALL FANTASTIC. The thing with Janet is, she has never really had big productions, like over the top, because she's never needed them and doesn't need them now, her music, dancing & performance spoke for itself. She's the only triple threat performer who doesn't have to take her clothes off, who doesn't need to twerk and have a large amount of female twerker's on stage and she stands on her own autonomy. She doesn't come off as a spectacle, she's every crafty and very grounded, just like her brothers. What I love about her also is, she makes no apologies, her body of music is outrageous. I'm so happy for this tour so happy that she is getting her flowers for being the greatest entertainer alive....and I agree, if you have not seen the show, see it. Janet and her Nasty Boys are Amazing. She has the right dancers to implement and showcase her as she showcases them. They compliment each other well on stage, the playfulness, the incorporation of newer music mixed in with Janet's Jams amazing. I saw this in her Unbreakable and State of the World Tours (which by the way where AMAZING) and though they are Janet's songs, incorporating other artist songs gives a refreshing take on her music...and also, the choreography is soooooooooooooooooooooooo good, and yes, the Mic is always on....And I have to say, at 58 and that's not old, Janet is in her element with these Nasty Boys, she is still giving life on stage. In fact, I'm still hoarse from screaming so loud and my show was last Friday. Again, it's an AMAZING show, so much fun, so much great dancing, sooooooooooooooooooooooooo many hits. Well of course, it's Janet Jackson.
From the start it was 45 straight minutes of non-stop high energy hit after hit and bop after bop. I was in awe of how long that first part of the show went.
With U is my favorite song from 20YO I was so disappointed it didn't get a proper single release. It takes me back to my first love that is exactly how I felt in his presence--nothing else mattered.
I was there too. But I was expecting everything I saw because weeks and hours before the show, I was watching in youtube as I do at the moment. I will see her again in Indiana and Austin.
Im soooooo gald. she changed the opening of the show. i highly disliked the las opening. I really liked the suit look they all had going. it kind of brought me back to the velvet rope wardrobe. I liked how she did love will never do without you this time around too.
Its not a world tour. No shows in south america, Mexico, The middle east. NOT EVEN MOST OF EUROPE. 90% of her shows are in the usa. How is this a world tour? Bc last time i checked, doing that many shows in one country is not considered the world. Janet always cappin on her fame. She's a grain of sand compared to the majors like Mj, Madonna, Taylor Swift, The Rolling Stones, Tina Turner, and THE QUEEN. Janet's shows are very stagnant.
I'll see her twice next fall in Europe (Paris and Amsterdam), my first concert with Janet was Rhythm Nation WORLD TOUR in 1990 (I live in France), it changed my life and could NEVER appreciate any other artist's concerts as much apart from her brother MJ. Everyone else felt "bland" and "boring" in comparison and I've seen some of the other artists you quote. It saddens me to see posts like yours who don't care about the catalog of the songs, the artistry and the legacy, but only cares about "stats" or what the media say at a certain point in time. In your world Drake must be a better "artist" than MJ. Sure you can find hundreds (if thousands) of artists who do better than most statistically speaking, but it doesn't mean it is of quality and worth being listened to. Would MJ be still alive today or beginning his career in 2024, there's a high probability he would go unoticed or people would compare him with others saying things like "he's less good than The Wkend" ... Anyway back to your sentence, technically speaking, if an artist leaves his home country to go performing outside in the world then it becomes a "world" tour but you're just here to dislike I presume. Janet is forever. Those who know, "they know". Peace !
