Janet is still that freak!!! lol, I love it!!!! So missing her music right now.
ALL HAIL
DOIN’ DAMN WELL AT 44!
She is FAT.
Janet “FAT” Jackson
MISS JACKSON IF YOUR NASTY!
I miss her so much..She will always be the greatest!
Janet, you’re p**** was on FIRE! Snatching wigs left and right. YAAASSSS!
Janet still serving these b****** even 20 years later. When your faves gonna do it like her? When are your faves gonna inspire a generation of pop stars? Neva!! Your faves could never!!!! Miss Jackson shut that s*** down!!!
I love Janet to death, but those performances all seemed very forced and lazy. I am so used to seeing her tear it up with perfect choreography and sharp dance moves and it was lacking. A very lackluster performance from Miss. Jackson!
NOT DISRESPECT TO THE JACKSON FAMILY…..
BUT IT’S AMAZING TO ME HOW SHE AND MICHAEL HAVE BEEN DESCRIBED AS THE GREATEST PERFORMERS WHEN THEY LIP SING ENTIRE SHOWS…
I MEAN JUST BECAUSE THEY DANCE ALOT THEY ARE ALLOWED TO LIP SING???
Thanks so much for posting this!! janet did the damn thing…I luv her~~~
OMG! I was supposed to go, why didnt my ass go!?
JANET KILLED IT!
Much love Janet. Now that to me was very entertaining This is what I’m talking about being a great performer and a crowd pleasure. Janet is about 44 and she is still doing her thing . Janet again great performance.
First and foremost I am so glad that I am an 80’s baby. To be able to grow up in an era of real music and real entertainers! Janet killed it hands down. People will always find some reason to hate, STFU! How many of today’s entertainers will be able to have a career like hers….NONE! No one will because the fans of todays musicians are so fickle its not even funny. Janet may lip when she does a lot of dancing so the f*** what!!! She has nothing to prove and there is no one and I mean no one out here who can touch her as a performer.
This is what you call an ICON! She has inspired so many. Even at 44 mama still got moves. And for the person who called her fat you must not be into woman, cause damn Janet ass was PHAT! Any man who loves a curvy black woman knows she is thick in all the right places. Anyway this is about her talent and I am glad to see she still got it. So what she don’t move like she did in her 20’s and early 30’s . The point is she is JANET JACKSON!!!!
MIKW:
It’s “lip sync”, not “lip sing” Einstein. I would have excused it as a typo, but you went and did it twice.
The only people being critical of Janet Jackson are just mad because their favorites couldn’t outperform Ms. Jackson in her bathrobe.
eh janet not hitting them moves like she used to. they looked sloppy and lifeless
she still a great performer tho
I agree with those who said the moves were kinda sloppy, but she didn’t have much time to rehearse, and, still, it was a motherfucking good show. all hail to the queen of music.
@MICW ur right might as well save ur money do ppl really think she can sing (no pun intended ) and dance that hard?
@STACY Not mad sweetie “Sade” is my fav and have u ever seen her perform “LIVE”?
Let me just say Im still here in New Orleans and Janet did an AMAZING job last night. She came on about 11:30 and was off close to 2am she did about 31 songs total. The segements dont even cover half of what she did. To all the haters keep hating, cause the crowd went crazy.
The best & what is there left to say.
Janet still has “IT”
Janet performed 31 songs. So of course she gonna lose enegry. But even then she had plenty and is getting rave reviews.
She looks amazing.
What I love about janet is that she will slay you with clothes on and off and with or without pyro and circus acts (not a diss to britney b4 y’all go there)
@ channelexor
OMG! I was supposed to go, why didnt my ass go!?
JANET KILLED IT!
———————————————————–
😯 YEAH!!! Y didn’t you go!?! I feel your pain.
JANET IS THE QUEEN!!!!
F*** THE HATERS!!!
Meh. No thanks.
Janet still got it.
LOVE HER
I LOVE JANET JACKSON!!!! SHE IS ON FIYAHHH!!!
All hail Janet Jackson!!!! That’ is my girl!
I think janet is an icon in her own right, and no one can take that away from her. But as far as her performances last night I was not impressed. Personally I think she was boring or maybe there was no life to the songs but janet attempting to act interested in what she was singing was unbearable to even watch. So it is what it is, she really has nothing to prove nor should she release an more albms cause she has had her time. Artist these days do not know how to re-invent themselves and still maintain senority with the public and not just with their fans. Its okay if you dont agree, but dont tell me how great you think she is or was because you and everyone else thinks she is too. lol
wellll mama do it then! i love me some janet, and for anybody talkin about my jacksons.
youre useless.f*** you.
Janet was on point last nite…Biggup to Janet and the crew…great show!
She looks so goofy and ridiculous in that first picture. Look like she fell down or something. All that plastic surgery she’s had done is beginning to show. Janet looks like a drag queen.
Love Janet, but her dancers costumes were very plain and boring. Unusual for a Janet performance. But I love it overall. Yes she is 44 and probably can move better than any of y’all moms.
there is nothing worse than an old a** entertainer who won’t move over for the next generation. there is something obscene about it. it is selfish, and it is stupid. i wouldn’t pay a dime to see her old stiff a**. the voice part of her music IS ALL BACK UP SINGERS. ALL SHE IS DOING IS STANDING THEIR POPPING HER FINGERS AND SHAKING.
OK soooo….r we all looking at the same video b/c I see nothing stiff or lazy at all. All For You and Doesn’t really matter breakdowns were as clean as they could be and she didn’t miss a beat. I dnt know what it is about Janet but some of ya’ll always try 2 find something wrong with what she does…when clearly there is nothing 2 find. What has she done 2 ya’ll?? Anyway…i can’t wait til If and RN are posted on youtube I know she went innnn on those lol 🙂
Daniel, you’re disgusting.
Janet is the QUEEN. <3
All the angry lames are probably Beyonce stans made their faves career got ethered in just over 2 hours. Janet MURDERED last night ALL her reviews have been amazing. Your fave could never put on a show like that. She is clean and crisp with her choreo, vocals on point, stage presence, check. Yall are probably angry fat slobs attached to your couch mad you cant move. There is NOTHING sloppy about this performance. She is a true Jackson. Hating asses you fail once again at commentary and life.
JANET IS THICKER THAN USUAL, NOT AS FAST AS SHE USED TO BE. YEP, SHE LIP SYNCS EVERYTHING. THOT I WAS WATCHING BRIT BRIT FROM FAR AWAY. THANX SAM FOR THE TITLE TO PREVENT THE CONFUSION, HAHA!
I was there last night and Janet delivered one of her best shows. Haven’t watched any clips on the internet (yet) but I assume they are taken out of context. She looked fantastic and will definitely be one of the talked about (positively) highlights of the weekend. Now she can go back to acting….
Janet shat on all you h*** and no she did not lipsync everything, just a few of the fast songs. And why are you pressed Beyonce, chris brown, xtina hell even mj did it, get over it. She the greatest female performer of all time. Fall back
I was there at the show, and I must say the dancing was off from the beginning, so using that she was tired talk does not cut it. She also lipped the entire show, including the ballads. I was quite disappointed, and so was some others. Some people even left lol.
I agree w/ JOHN & MIKW . Maybe we’re seeing 2 diff things, but according to the videos i’ve just watched, this didn’t look like a “slay” to me, look pretty bland & lazy to me. & janet usually delivers, especially choreography wise. This was, just not cutting it @ all. Maybe she delivered if i was actually @ the show, but these videos are not giving me any life @ all.
And I must add, that I went to a Tina Turner show last year, who is in her 70s btw, and she had way more energy then Janet. Tina is a much better performer. There were people in the audience, saying How Janet looks like a man with short hair lol
Janet is getting rave reviews because she is carrying MJ’s torch. If MJ were still living, I gurantee you this her set would have received bad reviews.
Well michael is dead. Get over it
Sean your the best! LOL!
it looks like xtina in BIONIC
@SEAN2009 SHUT THE F*** UP!!!!!!! K MICHAEL WAS A GLOBAL SUPERSTAR WHO WAS LOVED ACROSS THE PLANET!!! THERE IS NO ONE MORE TALENTED OR GLOBAL THAN MJ! THIS IS THE TYPE OF S***! THAT I HATE IT’S IGNORANT PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO ARE THE CAUSE OF THESE CELEBRITY DEMISE!! I AM PRETTY SURE IF YOU DIE PEOPLE ACROSS THE WORLD WOULD NOT GIVE A F***!!!!! ABOUT YOU SO CAN IT!!! JANET IS MJ’S SISTER SO SHE HAS SOME ESSENCE OF HIM,BUT SHE WILL NEVER BE AS GOOD AS MJ IS!! I LOVE JANET AND HER MUSIC AND TALENT BUT SHE IS NOT EVEN CLOSE! BUT SHE IS GREAT! {{{NO ONE WILL EVER REPLACE MJ NOT IN A BILLION YEARS}}} MICHAEL WAS SOMETHING SPECIAL BLESSED TO US FROM GOD! HE IS TRUELY A GIFE AND IT’S SAD THAT HE IS GONE,BUT TRUST ME MJ WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN AS A FAN I WILL FOREVER MAKE SURE HIS LEGACY,MUSIC,TALENT,SPIRIT LIVES ON FOREVER!!!! DON’T GET MAD IF SOMEONE FROM YOUR FAMILY DIES AND A FRIEND OR FAMILY MEMBER TELLS YOU TO “GET OVER IT”!!!! WE WILL NEVER GET OVER IT ,IT WAS THE SADDEST MOMENT IN HISTORY EVER!!! THE WORST DAY OF EVERY MJ’S FAN’S LIFE! NEXT YEAR WE WILL CELEBRATE HIM AGAIN!!! SO YOU CAN GO TO HELL WITH YOUR FEELING LESS COMMENT!
@SEAN2009 I HATE YOU,YOU HEARTLESS B******!!!! GO TO HELL!!!! WHERE YOU BELONG!!!
@MIRIAM STFU MJ DID NOT LIP SYNC HE PERFECTED THE ART OF MAKING HIS VOICE LIVE SOUND THE SAME AS THE RECORDING,THAT’S WHY YOU THINK HE LIP SYNC BUT HE DIDN’T!!!! HE PROB ONLY LIP SYNCED WHEN HE WAS SICK!!!! MJ BELIEVED THAT IF A ARTIST LIP SYNC THAT THEY WOULD BE CHEATING THEIR FANS!!!!! HE LOVED HIS FANS DEEPLY SO HE WOULD NEVER LIE TO US!!!! HE IS THE KING OF MUSIC!!!!!
the only black woman that never is disrespected is beyonce. it’s funny how her fans are the only ones online disrespecting and dissecting other black female artists. and shredding them into shreds. you guys do realize that the industry does not begin and end with beyonce. i’m pretty sure janet did the essence festival as a favor or maybe to say thank you to the black community for the love and support we have given to the Jackson family.
i don’t know how janet performance was, but the last thing another human being wants to hear is that they look like a man. it’s one thing to dislike a person’s music or dance, but to talk badly about their appearance to make yourself feel good is really sad and shallow. and people who are fans of mj should realize that opinions such as that is the reason why he got plastic surgery and in later years really hated going out, because of people hateful comments. it’s really sad that this woman is trying to perform , do the best she could and simple people are talking about how she looks like a man.
FOR PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT SHE DID NOT SLAY. GTFOH. THIS BISH BEEN IN THE GAME FOR 20 YEARS. NOBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CAN DO WHAT THEY DID 20 YEARS AGO. ANYWAY MS. JANET DO YOUR DAMN THING GIRL. LOVE U MUCH
Why respond the the hateful and mean cpmments???? Stress can cause a heartattack and acne lol. JANET SHITTED ALL ON, THATS WHY THEY”RE MAD.
The best thing about all of this that Im reading is that I know…for a fact….she doesnt read any of it! She’s the best at what she does. We all know it! Her awards, performances, accolades, etc. all show it. This happens to all the greats. Patti LaBelle who is a PHENOMENAL singer to this day gets hate about her voice which she has proved time and time again that she can sang! If you’re not a Janet fan, that’s okay. But when she passes on (God forbid), no matter what is said in this ridiculous post, she will go down as one of the GREATEST female entertainers EVER…..and that, none of you can take away from her. What will you be remembered for? That’s what you should be worried about. ‘Cause right now you’re just a name saying things you wouldnt tell Janet to her face. Let’s be better people.
I didn’t quite care for the dominatrix get up, but the rest of the performances were pretty good.
When Janet passes on, she’s gonna be remembered for working the pole at the Superbowl in front of kindergartners that one time…
JANET WAS A TRILL TO WATCH! AMAZING PERFORMANCES I WISH I WAS THERE!!! IN THE WORDS OF SIMON- IT WAS INCREDIBLE! 5 THUMBS UP!
ON MY WORDS!!!!!! SHE IS STILL GETTING IT IN!!!!!!!!!!!!
INCOMPARABLE.
All that stage distraction is is coverup for her lacking vocal talent. If Janet could SING, she wouldn’t need to flail around, roll around on the floor half dressed or use tired “pop & lock” rhetoric from the ’80s to distract from the fact that her mic is off.
Give me a singer who can sell VOCAL ability over a “singer” who has to sell a gimmick.
She Killed it !!!
love Doesn’t Really Matter ,, its one of my FAV
love me some Janet
she’s so original .
go janet , sh!t on your wannabes : Fatyonce & her fella’s
LOL
From reading these comments, it seems apparent that the perception of the show is that it is different from the balcony than from the 13th row (where I was). She definitely wasn’t fat (see the Discipline pix for confirmation) and the slow songs weren’t followed by backing. I can see how one would say that if you were in the bleachers watching the screens for your close-ups. But, for those of us looking in her mouth, it was a different story.
With regard to her energy, she isn’t a 20 year old so endurance is the name of the game. And Tina may have had more energy but she BARELY cuts a dance move nowadays, which is fine.
Next time, buy some REAL seats and then have an opinion.
At the end of the day, she re-affirmed some fans and maybe made some new ones.
On to the next one………………………………
@Yes, I feel you – Janet’s show was sick and I saw it for myself live! I don’t know who can do non-stop dancing and performing for 2hrs like she does! Those moves aren’t sloppy, trust me. Janet keeps up with any dancer she’s doing choreography next to and it even looks BETTER watching Janet do them! She’s smooth(maybe that’s where she looks like she’s not giving it that extra umph to some). If she’s smooth it oozes alot of s** appeal, so that’s intentional and when she dances hard it’s more so for songs like Rhythm Nation/Doesn’t Really Matter. That is where it makes sense because those songs have portions of them that require for her to be a little more technical because the dancing is more intricate in parts.
I LOVE JANET JACSKON!!!!!
SHES THE BEST, LOVE HER, BUT BUT BUT Y she aint got no black dancers anymore?? 🙁
FYI…Janet does not Lip synch. She is actually singing the lead lyrics live. That’s partly why she doesn’t dance much. She has to sing through the entire show. All performers do that, unless you are Britney Spears (still don’t know how she has a career).
PS. She is the reason that other artists (Justin Timberlake, Usher, & etc that toured with her) sing live at their performances. They have support from the background singers and the background vocals of the real track. The lead vocals are the performer singing live.
Janet murdered this show. she was great. i love her.
To MIKW:::::
Get your facts straight, neither lip syncs the entire shows, and Michael rarely lip synced at all. He was one of the few that danced and sang just as hard.. WATCH HIS CONCERT PERFORMANCES and make sure u know what you are talking about!
