Janet Jackson - The Velvet Rope Tour: Live In Concert 

I'd like to add Prince and Madonna right there as well. They also were freaking outstanding live solo acts.

I AGREE

PERIOD!

...and Prince for sure!

SAY THAT!

Great dancing,wonderful special effects,award winning beats,quality sound,mediocre voice.

@locadisa I thought it was just me who thought her voice is mediocre. Quite awesome how far her surname & the illuminati have got her.

Very true! Janet was incredible. Beyonce is the basically the only one these days that gives you your moneys worth!

I'm sad I don't get to go Janet Jackson concert I love janet Jackson

yeah Beyoncé is like the ONLY artist today who can fill up huge stadiums & actually give a great performance!

I could be wrong but I seem to recall that Janet is a huge inspiration for Beyonce. Which is why Bee has big concerts like Janet. It's all pure energy & good choreo.

@@brutha84 Bey's choreo doesn't come anywhere as close as Janet's intricacy and actual complex movements. Beyonce is mostly twerking and jerky movements. Wasn't even necessary to bring her up at all, but yall always seem to find a way to do so.

@@feliciasanders2066 I always say Beyoncé has the same movements nothing compared to Janet

@@feliciasanders2066 You are correct, B has stripper moves and gyrating. Meanwhile, Janet actually dances and becomes one with music.

@@feliciasanders2066 y’all always find a way to bring her down. The comment wasn’t even that serious

Imagine a young 17 year old me back in 1998 watching live on HBO. I stayed home, ordered pizza and watched this from start to finish. It was magical. I had never seen a full Janet concert and was amazed at the set, the lights and her energy.

@@LeeDfined 🤗🤗🤗

Man n

Same 1a just finished watching the guy being pulled on stage that blew his mind & had me laughing the entire time 🤣 its 2:30a now .. guess I'll call it a night

did the same thing last year too! solidified me as a janet stan & that this is my fave janet era and i wish i experienced it (i was 4 in ‘98) lol

OMG Thank you so much👍👍

@@greengreen6605 Your welcome

Bless you!

Thanks!

Muchas gracias, bro! ✌🏼😊

🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Say it louder for the idiots in the back who wonder why she sings over a backing track for the heavy dance numbers........

I can outdo her!

😂😂😄

Word!

Any Madonna's dancer can beat JJ dancers. Daniel "Cloud" Campos, Sofia Boutella, Tamara Levinson, Leroy 'Hypnosis' Barnes, Emilie Capel just to name a few dancers. Madonna's dancers defy gravity. They make Roller Skate, Aerial, drumming, Footwork, Tango, Flamenco, Voguing, Wacking , Charleston, Locking, Freestyle, Double Dutch, Roma Gypsy, Parkour, Slackline, Martial Arts choreography

Kecia, it's not a contest. Let's just enjoy the dancers for what they brought.

@@ginasousabranco5637 ALL of the dancers were good. It ain't a contest lol

I've 💝💝💝me SOME "IT'S Janet," Jackson, "NASTY" IF YOU ASK ME! 👏👏 🆗💝😍😂😂😂🌞

Me toooooo!

Janet Jackson is my girlfriend

I love the Velvet Rope album

Her And Wintney and Michael Jackson, Them 3 The Very Best!!!!

Virgo and Taurus hard to beat. Only one who can compete is Rkelly capricorn. And prince the gemini

madonna is better

@@pokemonward1747 boy bye Madonna herself had to laugh at that joke 💀 🤣

@@zermcherry3984 Madonna is best known worldwide

@@pokemonward1747 Does not mean she is a better performer. Madonna is more successful, but Janet is the full package, she can smash down the house on every female in music history if you put her on a stage.

Ima huge Michael fan also but I always knew she was amazing I haven't seen her live but I have seen her music videos and they were fir

Michael was King and Janet is Queen. Wait not like that

I’m a huge fan of both of them there both legends that paved the way for every single artist and everyone in that industry is influenced by them and both of there impacts are massive I’m constantly seeing artists recreating both of there performances I’ve seen tones of artists covering there songs sampling them as well and if it wasn’t for Michael and Janet a lot of things would not exist today because Janet is the reason for the creation of RU-vid and Netflix and her velvet rope album paved the way for pop and r&b music and Janet has created genres that a lot of artists use now and is credited for not only paving the way for women but also being the blueprint for every female artist there’s not one female artist that has not been influenced by Janet a lot of male artists have also been heavily influenced by Janet and even boybands and girl groups have been heavily influenced by Janet and Janet is credited for helping making tours what they are today she’s a fashion icon and much more and Michael has made mtv what it is today he’s the reason the super bowl halftime shows are what they are today he’s the reason performances are what they are today he’s made fashion what it is today he made music videos what they are today and much more and both Michael and Janet broke down so many barriers and these things I named isn’t even half of what they’ve done the industry would not be what it is today if it wasn’t for Michael and Janet or even the Jackson 5/the Jacksons and none of these artists would be were they are today if it wasn’t for them

I've been a huge fan of Michael for a while and finally tried out Janet some months ago.. I think with that I found myself a second love!

@@N0EL-7007late 80’s to mid 90’s Janet was unstoppable. Love this woman

I love da velvet rope tour concert, I use to watch this like everyday when I was a teenager ttyna learn da dances...& she can really sing

That’s truly my favorite part and the song selections to match the theme was on point.

rt, she would be the only one i would cry for, n ha performances are always on point. i love her🫶🏾

YES SAME HERE 🥹

😂yeah I saw little kids there.

You mean when they were events

WORD!!!

Yep no cell phones in the air

​@@jacobmartinez5461 Exactly!! Can't attend a show these days without somebody's phone in your face🤔

Only few people have sold out many times in a row a show in MSG. The only examples I can think of are Elton John in 2000 and Prince in 1986 (who sold out four nights in a row). There's more than them, that's for sure.

I remember it very well

Face the truth...Back then no one wanted to admit it out of respect for the family... Because we know that she and her team spent money on the finest dancers,choreography,special effects,costuming,appearances,quality sound, great beats,instruments,staging,background singers all behind a thinly veiled voice. Weak vocal talent yet she made millions...maybe even billions. Michaels pretty little sister could dance too...... after getting the best instruction.

@@locadisa Les Moonves is that you again, still stalking Janet. Shame on you lol!!!!!!

@traceyjames4681 Couldn't agree more!! The Queen of our Rhythm Nation always has, forever will, rise to the occasion❤

it was televised AND put on DVD, it has to be perfect, although this version is edited rather than the original broadcast

@@MedyLema I used it

@@MedyLema you lkhion of I'mma

III to be here on you like

Not really. There’s this thing called POST PRODUCTION where technical things are fixed, enhanced and edited….THEN it can be put on DVDs, etc. for distribution.

Aparently this album took years to make. She wasn't in a good place around these years. According to Jimmy and Terry Lewis. She was struggling with depression a lot.

Her All for You tour was great too!! Same level as Velvet Rope

Wowwww🥺 I’m 27 will be 28. Gosh I remember at 6 years old, (I was actually 3 when the album was released) my mom and aunt played the VHS of this tour repeatedly then me and cousins started knowing the choreography lol #goodtimes

You are so right! It was her prime, velvet rope followed rythym nation & I was so itching to see this tour & I was 15 & no one’s parents would let any of my friends come with me & I loved Janet!!

@@milesthehousecollection4153 She admitted that this album took 6 to 6.5 months to make because of her depression to where the previous albums were completed in less than 3 months. I think she said that Damita Jo ( can't remember now) was the longest for her to make. She said that it took about a year and a half to do it

Yes

Then All for You came and it was pure 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Same even went to the concert! Then got ripped like her too ! That was tough 😳

Same!! This one and All For You on VHS.

@@mrssclarkie5474 I started doing crunches for both concerts! 🤣

Same here!

Sorry, Madonna humiliates her on the stage.

@@helgafever768 Madonna humiliates herself on stage gtfo💀

Beyoncé is better. Homecoming alone is better than any performance that Janet Jackson has ever done. And Janet Jackson barely ever sing live, she just lip synced. She's an amazing dancer but overall she's not the greatest female performer of all time

Why can’t people just give flowers and credit where it’s due - Beyoncé couldn’t be Beyoncé without Janet so there’s no comparison! Madonna is in the same category but this isn’t about her and I’m sorry but I’ll go see Janet today over Madonna - They’re not even in the same genre - Janet crossed over so many lanes and as a black woman whose brother was MJ she’s an icon. Stop comparing apples to oranges 🙄🙄🙄 sincerely a real fan 😎

@@amalone1 There's no Bey without Tina Turner honestly not Janet

Janet has always viewed her work as a team effort rather than an individual feat. I mean, where would she be now without the exceptional production guide of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, or the outstanding choreography of Paula Abdul? They and many others helped her find her own self artistically speaking and create all that excelent stuff, which is why she's always let everyone shine and put a bit of themselves in her own work.

Fell in love with Kelli! Shoreline amphitheater!!

Yesss

She can sing and dance that no one else could matchby far one of the best female performers ever

That unmistakable Beautiful smile not no better Bitch has it!!!

It was All For You concert for me!

Mine too...velvet rope concert is da shit

@@reddyred5097 i never saw dat concert

Absolutely. The funny thing is I went to this NYC concert and then the one in NJ that same week after winning tickets from WBLS. Greatest entertainer.

she isn't "a female michael" she is her own person.

@@user-vl8np6ml6c ..very true 👌🏻

I had the pleasure of seeing her in concert. An unforgettable experience. I love Janet ❤️ ❤️. She is the 👌 best gives your worth . My all time favorite next to Mike

YESs

zero crumbs lol

I agree mariah just stands there. Rather see a show than someone standing for 2 hours

Same here.

18 years old here! I’ve been a fan since 14. She absolutely IS the queen and i’m just happy she’s finally getting the flowers she deserves!!

i was a 13 yr old kid when she did this tour and i beggged my mom to let me go and she said NO... she said the show is too grown for you!!! hahaa till this day... till this day!!! i am still devastated i wasn't allowed to go to this show!!!

I was 18 when she did this tour. Gosh I miss these days

I gotta ask, how old are you??? I assume you're rather young, compared to an old head like me who grew up listening and watching her on TV.

@@johnnym one has to really wonder lol.

@@johnnym well I’m 36 so I’m thinking she under 25 maybe ?

checking for what janet’s hyped about in 2022 is insane. y’all ain’t already know? 😭

I saw her 1997 after MJ came to New Zealand. I didn’t even like her back then and was forced to go. Well, I loooooved the concert. Loved her dancers. Got home the next day got my tongue and nipple pierced painted my walls the colour of her curtains on stage lol😂 didn’t even ask my parents hahaha. Bought the concert on dvd and learnt every-single-dance. Word for word and was obsessed with her. Dressed exactly like her in the last dance “together again” only thing I didn’t do was get the tattoo on my wrist like her cos I was too young

Her name is Janet.

Un FingSAid

The show on 8/29/98? Wasn't Michael at that show? LOL, well that's what I heard. Man, I was only 10, but I would've loved going to the Velvet Rope Tour

@@courtneybeasley2900 Unfortunately Michael wasn't at this show. But mannnnn did she put on a show!!!

@@mzdiana oh I heard he went with his nephews TJ and I think taryll or TJ and Taj to the Vegas concert, because it was on his bday. And he also attended one in Africa and one more place I think

@@courtneybeasley2900 I just read online that MJ did attend, however, of course his present wasn't made known at the concert so I stand corrected on my initial statement. I'm really glad he attended at least 1 of her Velvet Rope concerts bc it was like lightening in a bottle and being in the bottle with it.😉🔥❤

Agree love her and her family God bless 🙏

Absolutely!!

The Blue Print!

@@adrienne8211 The blue print is Madonna. Erotica album birthead Velvet Rope. The Girlie Show Tour birthead The Velvet Rope Tour

Madonna's Blond Ambition Tour = the birth of the modern pop-rock concert tour. It was theatrical. It was sexual. It was controversial. It was provocative. It was artistic. It was a spectacle and the start of everything that came next.

@@ginasousabranco5637 I don't agree at all but Madonna is great as well and obviously a fellow legend. Madge gets all my respect and I do enjoy many of her songs.

Yesss! I can relate! Can you believe we we’re 3 years old when this album was released? 😭🤍

This show was in 1998. Did you go to that one? It was at the Joe Lewis Arena

Then she stripped them off at the 2003 Super Bowl. ☹️

I screamed bitch!!!!!! Had to rewind like yooooooooo

Yes sir. I bought pizza and it was my first Janet full length concert...albeit via HBO

Well I was 18. I'm 41 now

18 back then now 42

If you add Madonna in there then you have to define what you mean by dancing.

How was it going on the 30th

The sound is quite awful tbh on the dvd even with a great sound system. Amazing show. Blu-ray remaster would be good.
