Janet Jackson’s ‘Number Ones, Up Close and Personal’ tour has already broken records! After being made available via Live Nation at 10am on Friday, January 14th, tickets for the show at the Gibson Amphitheatre sold out in less than 10 minutes.
To compensate for the icon’s demand, an additional date at the venue has been scheduled for April 15th. Tickets are available via Live Nation and Ticketmaster. {Source}

AND CHICAGO IS SOLD OUT..Ny is almost sold out also
damn janet go girl!
Wow, good for her. IDK WHY though…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwZlwYz59do
I need a ticket fast.
how is NY almost sold out…thought tomorrow was nyc sale date
Not surprised, folks know Ms. Jackson puts on a SHOW! Get it diva
Seeing as though, Rihanna seems to be able to do it fast too, Its not much of a special feat anymore 🙁
Beyonce is a better performer anyway: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwZlwYz59do
QUEEN BEY FOREVER…
http://i43.tinypic.com/21ju0c9.jpg
Thats MY B**** .. and she Sol Out CHICAGO in 4 Mins
Great, now people can go and see her mime her way through 2 hours of music
The true Queen of pop still in high demand even after being banned and thrown away at radio! Love how this woman proves herself time and time again, though she doesn’t ever have to!
Oh, I will be seeing her in March! It’s been a lovely week!
*DEAD* @ a Taylor Swift stan criticizing another performer’s skills. I can’t.
Maybe if Taylor lip-synced at her concerts, then people’s ears wouldn’t spontaneously bleed?
Anyway, I’m happy for Janet. It shows that she still has a very strong fanbase who still care about her. Has-beens don’t sell out concerts in record time and add more dates to meet demands.
Yeah….I’m those seats are small. Probably like 2,000-3,000 in attendance.
Janet will never have a major tour again in this lifetime.
Um Honestly its not that Shocking…..Look At the Venue.
IF it was the Staples Center then that would be a shocker!
—
And The “True” Queen of Pop Can STILL Do it *Cough* Madonna *Cough* …Highest grossing Tour for a Female Solo Aritst EVER.
Actually she sold out a amphitheatre which isnt that great, but hey it’s janet! Congratz
For the record, Trent. Isn’t this tour an intimate tour with Janet? Another artist had the same kind of tour back in 03, and performed in small theaters.
im not even a big Janet Jackson fan BUT I KNOW FOR A FACT THE WOMAN SINGS LIVE IN HER CONCERTS OR SINGS WITH A BACKING TRACK..SHE IS A HARD WORKER WHO WORKS HARD TO KEEP HER STAMINA ON STAGE TO SING AND DANCE AT THE SAME TIME..give credit where it is due..she is a legend..not just any female singer of the moment
Not a surprise especially know it can only hold 6,189 people in Gibson Amphitheatre.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibson_Amphitheatre for people who want to know how much people it can hold or see the venue there is a link to it
TO YOU BEYONCE FANS, WHO HAVE THE NERVE TO TALK CRAP, JANET CHOSE TO DO AN INTIMATE TOUR WITH HARDLY NO THEATRICAL PROPS, THATS WHY ITS CALLED UP CLOSE & PERSONAL, BEYONCE DID THEATRE CONCERTS TO AND HALF OF THOSE DIDNT EVEN SALE OUT, JANET HAS DONE ALL OF THE BIG PRODUCTION TOURING, RHYTHM NATION TOUR RECORD HAS NOT BEEN BROKEN YET, SO BEYONCE STILL HAVE TO PROVE HERSELF JANET DOES NOT BECAUSE SHE HAVE ALREADY BEEN THERE AND DONE AND HAVE THE STATISTICS TO PROVE IT. PLEASE STOP HATEN CAUSE I REMEMBER BEYONCE HAD TO CANCEL A COUPLE OF HERS AND THEN HAD TO SALE TICKETS FOR 20.00 BECAUSE OF POOR TICKET SALES,
@True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue My ears dont bleed, whenTaylor sings…. dont say stupid things.. atleast she sings live, plays the guitar and writes her music… but have fun watching someone miming. I swear, you never stop having goes at me… maybe you should stop.. people have difference of opinions.. please learn to live with that fact.
Not to be shady buuuuut Janet is doing a 7,000 seat ampitheatre and Kylie Minogue is doing the Hollywood Bowl (17,000) on the US leg of her “Aphrodite – Les Follies” world tour and she isn’t even that big in America… #JustSaying
I love Janet Jackson I have already purchased my Chicago tickets because they were saying on the radio that the Chicago concert is sold out and they are trying to add another date for Chicago because people are complaining that they want to see her but did not know about the tickets when they went on sale. I am going to see her in Atlanta also because I will be in Georgia that weekend. Up Close & Personal means she wants to be really close to the fans, thats why she chose some smaller venues she have alot of big venues in other states and out of the country.
@ Daniel:
I don’t have a problem with you being a fan of Taylor or having opinions on other artists, but perhaps you should think twice about dissing artists who are vastly better than Taylor (as you’ve done so many, many times), as it makes you look foolish around here.
YES LORD LET ME BUY MY TICKET NOW, I was goin to that show too, DANG I wanna b in a packed house nite! 🙂 O WELL 15 APRIL I WILL B N LA JANET BOO!
Wow, people hate her LOL She can’t even snatch those wigs without Beyawnce and Taylor S*** fans coming to bother.
TO: FUTURESTARdelux
Who cares, do you know how many concerts Janet have sold out over Kylie Minogue? Lets not go there, please learn to comprehend, its called UP CLOSE & PERSONAL, for a reason, she wants to be more closer to her fans, Janet will be playing in some big venues in other states. Janet is a legend, and she is the female version of Michael Jackson so please stop haten cause she ain’t going no where too soon.
@True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue i laughed at your comment, So because i like Taylor, i cant have an opinion on other artists? that in your opinon are better then Taylor. Thats stupid. Your opinion isnt god, people have different views to you, you need to understand that, and while you think janet’s better then Taylor, i dont.. you even said before music is about taste…everyone is allowed an opinion, you need to come to terms with this, because your the one who looks foolish. Im on here to comment, i dont need you, telling me my opinions are foolish.
WOW!!! JANET IS A QUADRUPLE THREAT, LOOK AT ALL THE HATING COMMENTS, JANET WILL SELL OUT ALL OF HER SHOWS JUST WAIT AND SEE. TO :DION-ISH
JANET IS PLAYING AT THE STAPLE CENTER ALSO AND I JUST DID SOME RESEARCH IT IS ALMOST SOLD OUT AND SHE WILL NOT BE THERE UNTIL APRIL. SO WHAT NOW, ISNT’ THE STAPLE CENTER A BIG VENUE???? WHAT CAN YOU SAY NOW.
OK, WELL THE MOHEGAN SUN ARENA IS A VERY BIG VENUE AND IT’S SELLING REALLY FAST, YES MIZZ JACKSON WILL BE HERE : UNCASVILLE, CT MARCH 16, 2011.
I WAS TOLD THAT THE TICKETS ARE SELLING VER FAST!!!!!
same scenerio here in DC, sold out at exactly!! 10AM, they had to add a second show….which is almost sold out.. luckily i was able to get my tix
LOL This Just Got Posted And Other Artist’s Stans Are Already hating.
Who gives a _____ if it’s a venue!?? She JUST Sold out a 72,0000 Stadium a couple of months ago. And she Didint even put out a new album!
@ BESTDANCER
H** Hush, We are talking about the Queen Bey NOT Rih-Scheduled!!, Beyonce doesnt nee to cancel dates, She grossed 110 Million last tour (More than any other BLK artist in SEVERAL years). But anyway, Forget all that superficial mess, My Point is BEYONCE IS A MUCH BETTER PERFORMER THAN JANET!! They both dance EQUALLY sexually but Bey can really SANG unlike Tranet AND… Dance Tranet THROUGH THE ROOF!! & the majority of Janet’s musical is Lack luster IMO, Your TYPICAL Janet.
Tranet cant even walk up to MJ so how can she Stand up to the QUEEN??
Janet could NEVER!!, She needs to just SIT DOWN cause her last 2 Music Eras was Not at all Pretty & I recall her CANCELLING due to poor ticket sells (but ofcourse She used “SICK”, Yeah right B****) #FAIL ==>>
Lord, According to Beyonce stans, Beyonce is the only artist in music that is relevant. Lets not forget that Janet Jacksons tours have out grossed Ms. Knowles, its actually not even close.

@ ThnkTank
SO????? AND?? Bey’s still Shitting all over your Girl.
I Am….World Tour Grossed over 110 MILLION!! H** Wiki is your friend!!
I wouldn’t take Live Nation word on the shows being sold out. The last time they said Janet’s shows were sold out, that ended up being the total opposite.
We shall see what is sold out when the BB numbers come in.
@ Daniel:
I meant better in terms of TALENT. Music itself is something completely subjective that I leave alone, unless someone dares say that Soulja Boy’s music is better than Janet’s.
Your original post had nothing to do with Janet’s music, so don’t even try and claim that this about me not accepting other people’s tastes.
D.C. is sold out….& I want a F****** tickettttt !!!!
ughhhhhhhhhhhh =(
why did she perform at small arenas ????????
=(
@ “Beyonce is the Queen”…i love how you post a link to a beyonce performance that Janet did back in the 1990’s…who do you think Beyonce modeled all her ish from? go back on youtube and find some janet performances so you can see how its already been done!
THANKS FOR BRINGING OUT THE STATISTICS;

go janet….
@ “Beyonce is the Queen”
“At last” will forever be associated with Etta James long after that woman dies please stop kidding yourself. you cant compare $ from a tour like the janet tour to beyonce’s last tour with 2009 ticket prices….do you realize 2.3 mil ppl saw the janet tour? whatever…I cant…. you ride with Bey….its all good, its the pleasure principle b****….
To the Beyonce fans your girl had some small venues also, you all started this so here we go: If you notice a lot of them did not sale out that’s why she added so many dates to this tour to make up for the non sold out shows. These are all small venues and she still did not sale them out. So once again Beyonce fans fall back.

@ nicole
b**** sit yo m***** looking nappy headed ass down somewhere
you go on posts to hate on other sistas when ya ass stans for britney spears. can we say identity issues? you one of dem chicks who thought she was white comin up hahhaha.
go somewhere h**!
Oh please! Janet is old and washed up! That’s why her last 3 albums flopped hard as hell! Selling 6,200 seats at the Amphitheatre aint s***! LOL. Don’t you Janet stans remember when her 2 tours before this one were selling badly and she “canceled because she wasn’t feeling well.” Those were at big venues and she used the same excuse 2 years in a row!
Janet Jackson’s Rock With you Tour: Numbers are really not bad, but to show you pathetic beyonce fans, Janet actually had a lot of sold out shows, she could not continue other shows due to health reasons. These numbers are better than Beyonce’s numbers beyonce made so much money because she added a lot of dates to make up for non sold out shows. For Janet it was not about money because she is worth over 200 million.

@TAYLOR SWIFTS ONLY ADULT FAN
BECAUSE YOUR ALWAYS SAYING IGNORANT S***.
The only thing taylor has on ANYONE is the fact that she writes songs, she cant sing & she doesnt WOW anyone with her guitar skills..
& she barely has that one up on songwriting considering she writes like a 9 yr old in english class..well i will ADMIT that speak now has great lyrics, all of her songs sound exactly the same lyrically,musically & vocally. PERIOD
Id rather listen to someone who doesnt write all their songs completely by themselves but puts so much heart & soul into them that you believe they did [bey,whitney,mariah,alicia sometimes,brandy,monica] than someone who writes their own music..but when its time to show the world what they have to say, they sit their on a wooden stool lecturing to us instead of letting us feel their pain,joy,fear or feelings of love.
Taylor has talent..shes more talented than just about everyone critisizing her, but to put her over women like JANET & BEYONCE?
Get ya life together kid.
I’m supposed to be impressed that she sold out some tiny ass theater in 10 minutes? LOL! Ok. I can already see where this is going, her sad stans are going to try and pounce on this PIDDLY s*** like it actually means something. “Ooooh…Janet sold out a 6000 seater….QUEEN OF POP!!!!” Just like how they try and sadly brag about some cheesy little American Idol performance topping iTunes.
Wake me when Janet can get real radio spins, another top five single, a multi-platinum album and can consistently fill an 80,000 seaters. Until then, I’m not impressed with any of these paltry “wins” of hers that her fans attempt to make more significant than they actually are!

Again I Ask, WHEN is Tranet gon gross $100+ Million off 1 tour??
& Bey is worth Far More than Tranet BTW. 🙂
To the person or people that keep posting Janet Jackson’s and Beyonce’s WORLD WIDE TOURS gross total is #WRONG for both artist. BOTH ladies have grossed more than that Internationally. I think thoughs numbers are for the US alone. Anyways Janet Jackson record still has never been broken for an artist duet tour…. & To my idiots a sold out show is a sold out show, 100 seats or 100,000 seats she is still able to sell out. Additional dates are added because the DEMAND FOR JANET JACKSON is so high!!!!
🙂
IS JANET….MISS JACKSON IF YA NASTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!! GO GIRL.
The Rhythm Nation World Tour is the debut concert tour by American recording artist Janet Jackson. It was launched in support of her fourth studio album Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation 1814 (1989), and also contained material from her third studio album Control (1986). Jackson’s record label A&M announced plans for the world tour in fall of 1989, following the release of Rhythm Nation 1814. Managed by Roger Davies and Rusty Hooker, the tour was developed by musical director Chuckii Booker, choreographer Anthony Thomas, stage designer Roy Bennett, stage manager Chris Tervit, production manager Benny Collins, and Jackson herself.
The nine month international trek saw concerts in the United States, Canada, Japan, the Netherlands, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and Brazil. It began in the United States in March, 1990 and continued through November, 1990 where it came to a close in Brazil. Songs performed during the set list of the tour were divided evenly between Jackson’s third and fourth studio albums—each concert began with “Control” (1986) and ended with “Rhythm Nation” (1989). Noting performances placed greater emphasis on theatricality over vocal prowess, the tour received numerous stellar reviews based on Jackson’s showmanship, choreography, and socially conscious message, drawing frequent comparison to pop icons Prince and her brother Michael Jackson.
With an attendance of over two million patrons and ticket sales grossing over $28 million dollars in the United States alone, the Rhythm Nation World Tour remains the most successful debut concert tour by a recording artist.
The JANET WORLD TOUR (stylized as janet. World Tour) is the second concert tour by TOURAmerican recording artist Janet Jackson. It was launched in support of her fifth studio album Janet (1993). It began in November, 1993 and continued through April, 1995. Concerts were held in North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Australia.
Jackson’s Rhythm Nation World Tour of 1990 made history as the most successful debut concert tour in history, which led to high expectations for her second world tour. Like its predecessor, the Janet World Tour became reputable for its theatrical grandeur—incorporating complex choreography, pyrotechnics, video display, stage design and costuming—drawing comparison to Broadway theatre.
The Tour generated over $35 Million dollars in the US and over $60 million worldwide (equivalent roughly to $115 million, based on 2008 average ticket price).
Estimated worldwide attendance at 2.3 million.
VELVET ROPE TOURNatasha Kassulke of the Wisconsin State Journal commented: “The concert captured the scope of Jackson’s talent from songwriter to singer, producer, actress, dancer and fashion diva.”[7] Similarly, Gemma Tarlach of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel observed: “A tiny dynamo of constant motion, Jackson strutted, slunk and grooved her way from one end of the stage to the other … Her voice, sometimes thin and girlish on her albums, sounded fuller and more powerful than ever. Michael’s baby sister? Nope, the commander of her own rhythm nation, in complete control. The show was as much a feast visually as musically.”[8] Pop music critic Kevin Johnson called The Velvet Rope World Tour “one of the flashiest on the concert scene.”[9]
Elizabeth Aird, who reviewed her concert at GM Place wrote: “If there’s a show sexier and more polished than Janet Jackson’s The Velvet Rope extravaganza, it’s only on Broadway … Saturday night’s show at GM Place was two hours of thrills pumped out by Jackson, her never-say-die dancers and her powerful band.”[10] Similarly Los Angeles Times music critic Robert Hilburn remarked that “[t]here is so much of the ambition and glamour of a Broadway musical in Janet Jackson’s new Velvet Rope tour that it’s only fitting that the concert program credits her as the show’s ‘creator and director’.”[11] Like other critics, Hilburn writes that Jackson at times appears to be lost in her own production, “[y]et there were several moments in the show when Jackson stepped beyond the production values and touched us in a way the best pop performers have done over the years. From the playfulness of the fairy tale staging of “Escapade” to the artful musical stretch of “Got ‘Til It’s Gone” (the marvelous track she built around a sample of Joni Mitchell’s “Big Yellow Taxi”) to the intimacy of her soul-searching “Special,” Jackson has put a personal stamp on this show that humanizes not only the music but also the performer too.”[11]
The tour closed in Honolulu, Hawaii at the sold out Aloha Stadium. The stadium’s original capacity of 35,000 for a concert has to be expanded to 38,000 to accommodate additional ticket demands. This made Janet the only artist in the stadium’s history to fill the venue over its intended capacity. Janet still holds the record for most attended concert for one night at the Aloha Stadium.[30]
The broadcast of The Velvet Rope Tour garnered numerous award nominations, including an astounding 13 Emmy Awards nods.
The tour grossed $32.5 million in the US, and $70 million worldwide (equivalent roughly to $125 million in 2008).
Estimated worldwide attendance at 1.4 million.
ALL FOR YOU Jim Farber of the New York Daily News wrote: “In the splashy two-hour event, which made its New York bow at Madison Square Garden last night, the suspiciously sculpted star ripped through nine costume changes, gyrated around a host of ever-changing stage sets and offered no fewer than 26 songs plucked from more than a decade’s worth of hits.”[4] He criticized similarities to her previous tour, saying: “Unfortunately, the evening also recycled some Janet stunts from the past. A segment that centered on frothy cartoon characters (with Jackson appearing as a sugar plum fairy) mimicked her 1998 tour’s equally infantile circus fantasia. An S&M segment, in which she strapped an audience member to a gurney and straddled him, also repeated a similar NC-17 episode from the last go-round.”[4] Sonia Murry of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution offered a positive review of Jackson’s performance at the Philips Arena in comparison to other artists who were also touring at the time. She comments that while “‘N Sync had some sharp moves on occasion, it was as if Jackson was plugged in she moved so much, and so well … While Madonna offered a true visual feast, the 19,000-plus seemed to be satiated with just the art that was Jackson’s sculptured body … And where Sade may offer instant intimacy with one well-placed and throaty high note, well, Jackson did fine just to flex her thin pipes on ‘Again’, part of her medley of ballads (‘Come Back to Me’, and ‘Let’s Wait Awhile’ included).”According to Pollstar Magazine, the tour’s U.S. leg made over $40.6 million dollars making it the ninth highest-grossing tour of 2001. Overall, the tour grossed more than $55 million (roughly equivalent to $85 million, based on 2008 average ticket price), including 11 shows in the US and Hawaii that were not included in the Pollstar total, and 4 sold out stadium shows in Japan
RESPECT FOR J A N E T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
^^^ Thats only because Bey’s Debut tour was just a MINI-TOUR (It wasnt Serious, It was rushed out) with only a hand full of dates, Beys 1ST *REAL* tour SOLO was ‘THE BEYONCE EXPERIENCE’ which grossed over 75 Million!! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Bey’s Last 2 Tours >>>>>>>>>>> Out Grossed ALL of Tranets. 🙂

@Beyonce is Queen not to take away anything from Beyonce but seriously do you know how to count??? 1 + 1 = 2 dummy. #GOSITYOURASSDOWN!
@ beyonce’s stans you guys are disrespectful JUST LIKE BEYONCE…I can see the same Satan worship she does has posessed all of you….EVERYONE KNOWS JANET INSPIRED BEYONCE!!!!!…and for those talking about beyonce can dance..*laughs* you guys are so brainwashed that you compare complex dance routines to jumping up and down like a chicken and ass shaking…..you either know absolutely nothing about dance or you are pressed and threatened that you are making irrational claims…everyone knows when it comes to real dancing with complex choreograhy Janet still remains the queen of the pack…PLEASE RESPECT THE PEOPLE WHO PAVED THE WAY FOR BEYONCE….
I´m not a fan of Janet Jackson but seriously retarded Beyonce fans are really disrespectful with everybody. They think she is better singer than Whitney, better dancer than Janet, better songwriter than Mariah (that is probably the worse thing among all after all we have known recently… lol). Seriously, the b**** is good but she is no queen of any f****** thing. Go listen to the real greatest Voices on youtube or performers like Tina . true and original talent.
And talking about Janet, I think for example Velvet Rope is a classic album, Beyonce generic and average ass (when compared to the greatest of course, not Britney untalented Spears and those kind of puppets) has none
@Beyone is queen – sit the F*** down how, keep saying how much the I am tour grossed, the Janet. Tour in todays money grossed much more(about $125 million) than that bag of s*** tour, and please Janet and Beyonce are equal dancers ?? B**** I think you bumped yo head, since when was shaking dancing, she hasn’t ever done anything original, she just rips of every other artist. Janet is known for her original dancing, Beyonce… ASS shaking like a h**, umm NEXT !!
Beyonce queen ?? Hell to the NO !! Even she knows Janets better than her… She performed at her icon tribute, if she was queen it would be the other way around. The only people who can have the title Queen Of Pop is Janet and Madonna. So do us all a favour and shut yo deluded mouth and stop posting s***** perfomances.
True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue People have different opinions on talent though dont they.. the fact that you think shes more talented then taylor is just your opinion.
I would say, taylor writes her music.. janet doesnt.. taylor plays a guitar.. janet doesnt.. taylor sings live… janet doesnt.. what makes an music artist?
Yeah taylor doesnt have the best voice, i accept this.. but neither does janet.
Its not just about singing, its the whole package!! << this is just an opinion.. not that word of god!!!!
As for my orignal post? It was to do with her mimining on her concerts.., which the post is about.. as its about her shows selling out.its not to do with her music???You seem to have been reading the wrong post, and on a side note.. i didnt bring taylor in to this.. nor did i bring her into it on the pink, cheryl cole and the Asanti post in the past day.
Not everything revolves around taylor swift, i have other tastes.
Beyonce fan Yall need to sit down
Yall always acting Messy on this site
Know who the True Legend is
Janet is a Living legend she is a mother f****** JACKSON!
Miss Jackson If Your NASTY!
Due to fan demand, a 2nd show in Los Angeles, New York and other cities have been added to Janet’s 2011 World Tour! Janet will also perform at Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas, on March 4 (capacity -80.000)
Jackson previously made news when she broke Beyonce’s attendance record when headlining the 2010 Essence Music Festival. After selling out the Louisiana Superdome — where the annual festival is held — Jackson reportedly commanded the first-ever waiting list for the Festival with additional seats erected and sold behind the stage. – LA Times
wow why so much hate???? why can’t people just be happy for somebody? personally i love BOTH Janet and Beyonce
@Taylor Swift number one fan, not commenting to diss her but Janet DOES right her music, Jimmy and Terry help, but she writes most of hers, Jimmy and Terry say themselves Janet writes most her songs, and Janet sung live a lot when she was younger and still sings live when she does ballads, if Taylor could dance like Janet no way would she sing live at her age, and just as an added extra Janet can play keyboards, but who cares about instruments. So please know what you talking about before you comment, that is all :)…
@ All of ya’ll with this Janet and Bey beef… Stop! That is so lame. They’re not anything alike (apples and oranges) and both of them are legendary(yes, I said both) and neither is invading the others turf. Can’t we all get along??? If you would stop comparing these two megastars you would see all the immitators that are influenced by them and you should focus your energy on calling out those people with big and small names… I’ll list a few so that you can see what I mean: Rihanna, Jlo, Britney and Ashanti. These are people that have taken a page out of their book. There’s more that they have in common than differences they don’t share. So, why are you guys attacking each other, wake the f*** up! I’m not cursing because I’m really that mad, I’m just trying to emphasize some key points here! Seriously they are night and day and their is no need to be comparing the North and South or East and West! What are ya’ll doing???
@ Taylor Swift Number 1 Fan, Janet does write. She co-writes, she wrote her #1 Rock song “Black Cat”. Are you an adult? She also plays the piano!
I’m waiting for my first comment to clear, because I have utube clips of highlight what I’m saying Taylor Swift fan #1!
*utube clips to highlight what I’m saying …
@ Royalkev did you really say J-lo and Ashanti took a page from Beyonce, more like the other way around my friend, especially J-lo. I respect your opinion 110% but I be damned if I’m going aloud these iditots to keep shitting on Janet Jackson.
Its highly disrespectful yet predictable that other bey stans would diss janet smh only INSECURE fans would disrespect janet like this, I LOVE Honey BEY but janet paved the way for my faves! Also u can’t compare tour grosses for an artist that’s been touring for over 20 years to bey who’s been touring solo wise for 6 years its just dumb. Fellow bey stans please just pay respect to janet and stop making the BEYHIVE and our fave look bad
Janet is a true talent,give the woman respect.
Lol @ Dimplepuppet… I know, I get the urge to set somethings striaght myself. I just stay out of the Bey vs Janet stan wars. I don’t get it, but I guess sometimes it just has to go down! I still think it’s all misdirected energy.
I say that Ashanti was influenced because that Only U video has Beyonce written all over it. DIL, just came out the year before and it was Ashanti’s attempt at stepping up her game, but the whole look of that video(with all those ladies dancing in a circle with her) just reminded me of Crazy in love @ the MTV awards(when she came down from the ceiling with the rope. It just seem like she lost the dark hair and went dirty blonde to clone Bey’s look. Then the way she performed(which was 10x better than how she started) seem to be a bit inspired by Bey. She’s always done that, rock wit U (Aaaaw Baby) had a Janet feel to it in her video. I’d post them, I just don’t want it to hold up my comment. When she was on the island and with the elephants it was very Janet of her.
As far as Jlo is concerned, I honestly don’t see where she inspired Bey. They both are gorgeous women that have a great fashion sense, but why copy Jlo whose copying Janet. #Just saying. I like Jlo, I have no hate… matter of fact I’m a fan, but Bey follow her lead is not doing anything for Bee. I feel like Louboutins was a bit Bey like of her(check out So you think you can dance performance). Her outfit just looks like it’s from the Sasha fierce collection. Still, I think what Jlo’s doing lately is will work for her. She brought it back to her Jlo 2001 era! Great move. Artist should ALWAYS be themselves.
Intimate or not this woman right her is an an icon RESPECT her.
I just bought my ticket.
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😀
@royalkev
thanks i dont get this bey copied jlo thing, i think it’s because they have similar body types and dress the same way and pls they both wear weaves, surely yall know hollywood women have been wearing weaves b4 jlo and bey, heck even white women like j.simpson wear weaves
CAN WAIT TO COME IN EUROPE JANETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT I LOVE YAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

‘@RYAN. You say “if Taylor could dance like Janet no way would she sing live at her age” but whats dancing got to do with music? I bet if she just sang, people would be bored, i know janets voice isnt the best.. shes more a dancer then a singer… but dancing is just a distraction from the actuall song!! normally because the song isnt that good, they do that with so many artist these days… whats wrong with just the artist on stage and singing the song live? without all this dancing etc? Because the audience would get bored of seeing janet just stood their for 2 hours. Taylor doesnt need to dance.
The tour closed in Honolulu, Hawaii at the sold out Aloha Stadium. The stadium’s original capacity of 35,000 for a concert has to be expanded to 38,000 to accommodate additional ticket demands. This made Janet the only artist in the stadium’s history to fill the venue over its intended capacity. Janet still holds the record for most attended concert for one night at the Aloha Stadium
RHYTHMNATION 1814 WORLD TOUR WIKIPEDIA:With an attendance of over two million patrons and ticket sales grossing over $28 million dollars in the United States alone, the Rhythm Nation World Tour remains the most successful debut concert tour by a recording artist.
The tour grossed over $28 million in the US only from dates reported, and nearly $45 million worldwide (equivalent roughly to $180 million, based on 2008 average ticket price).
ESSENCE MUSIC FESTIVAL WIKIPEDIABeyoncé Knowles headlined the 2009 Essence Music Festival, which would make her the longest-headlining female of the music festival. Knowles had over 72,000 attendees, which was Essence’s first completely sold-out concert in its 15-year history. Janet Jackson made headlines when she shattered Knowles’ attendance record during the 16th Essence Music Festival, held from July 2 to July 4, 2010, commanding a history-making 72,668 member audience, which completely sold out the Louisiana Superdome with a first-ever waiting list for the Festival. Seats were sold behind the stage. According to the Associated Press, “Janet Jackson enthralled the Essence Music Festival audience Friday, kept them on their feet for more than two hours and reminded fans why seeing her in concert was worth waiting two years.”[2]

And On top of that, Because I think some of you guys Just CANT READ,
I could see if Janet was having a HUGE extravaganza Tour IN SMALL VENUES. But It’s Just going to be Her on stage. The Main Person you are coming to see. Not a whole bunch of props and s***. If you actually read about the damn tour, you would know that it said
“Don’t look for special effects. Just look at Janet” It’s Called “UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL” for a reason. No special effects and She’s STILL selling out tours and ADDING more shows because people want to see HER.
Thank God for you LukasL, I’m so glad your stating these facts. Everyone don’t know her history and isn’t aware of how many people she had in attendance for her concerts. Those totals aren’t from 3 years of touring either! If these top touring acts were compared to each other within the same length of time it would get mighty interesting! Janet is a beast!
VELET ROPE TOUR WIKIPEDIA: To promote the tour, a live special, The Velvet Rope: Live in Madison Square Garden was aired on HBO, which drew over 15 million viewers
Elizabeth Aird, who reviewed her concert at GM Place wrote: “If there’s a show sexier and more polished than Janet Jackson’s The Velvet Rope extravaganza, it’s only on Broadway … Saturday night’s show at GM Place was two hours of thrills pumped out by Jackson, her never-say-die dancers and her powerful band.”[10] Similarly Los Angeles Times music critic Robert Hilburn remarked that “[t]here is so much of the ambition and glamour of a Broadway musical in Janet Jackson’s new Velvet Rope tour that it’s only fitting that the concert program credits her as the show’s ‘creator and director’.”[11] Like other critics, Hilburn writes that Jackson at times appears to be lost in her own production, “[y]et there were several moments in the show when Jackson stepped beyond the production values and touched us in a way the best pop performers have done over the years.

James Sullivan of the San Francisco Chronicle observed her concert at the new arena “offered a career retrospective, punctuated by new material, periodic video diversions and fireworks. Equal parts Prince and Madonna, the show was a lot like an ’80s flashback, though to its credit Jackson’s eight-piece band—bass, guitar, drums and percussion, two keyboardists and two backup singers—added some inventive layering to her older hits.”[12] Charles Passy of the Palm Beach Post reported that Jackson’s show at the Coral Sky Amphitheatre emphasized style over substance. He comments her “two-hour set was about half hormones—and half pyrotechnics. Without much in the way of a voice, she has sold her persona throughout her career. And as that persona has evolved from girlish teenager to sexually sophisticated woman, her albums—and tours—have provided a road map.”[13] Jet magazine reported: “With wit, sass, dance and a whole lot of s** appeal, Janet turns her song and dance fest into one of the major musical events of the year. In fact, it has become the must-see concert of the year.”[14] Christine Robertson of the Evening Post, who reviewed Jackson’s concert at the Queens Wharf Events Centre in Wellington, New Zealand, commented: “The sleek choreography and superb dance spectacle saw Jackson seldom take a breath from one set to the next—her control of the stage complete. Most of the time she plunged into two decades of hits which give her the right to stand her ground among the Jackson musical dynasty.
IS ANYBODY OYT THERE WHO NEEDS MORE INFO ABOUT JANET???????? LET ME KNOW PLS!
HI Royalkev…….
The majority of all of the tour’s concert dates became instant sell-outs.[16] The tour’s dress rehearsal at the Pensacola Civic Center issued 7,600 tickets to the public as a benefit to local charity, which sold-out in less than an hour.[9] The first international concert, which took place in Tokyo, Japan sold out the Tokyo Dome within seven minutes—a record for the fastest sellout in the history of the Dome.[17] Lori Buttars of The RYTHMNATION 1814 TOURWIKIPEDIA :Salt Lake Tribune reported: “In May, Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation Tour became the fastest sell-out in Salt Palace history. Tickets for the June 18 concert were gone in a record 1 hour and 20 minutes after the box office opened.”[18] In June, 1990, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported that Jackson’s tour had become one of the most commercially successful box office attractions for a recording artist.[16] In addition, “of those women soloists who regularly reach the top of the record charts, only Madonna is doing similar arena business.”[16] Grossing $28.1 million in the United States alone, the tour ranked number five among the best-selling of 1990 within the US, making Jackson the only female artist to place within the top ten.[19] The Rhythm Nation World Tour, with an attendance of over two million patrons, remains the most successful debut tour by any recording artist.
LUKAS L has no life.
how can beyonce stans hate janet when beyonce is a carbon copy of janet, with a little bit of everyone else, of course? janet is legendary, so her selling out arenas is no surprise. if you want to talk tour numbers, madonna conquers all
I HAVE FOR JANET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HA HA HA HA
@ Lukas L, your killing ’em! …appreciate all the stats. Sometimes the fuckery you see on these blogs make you want to give these people a day of Janet 101(with a dvd and text book). Keep schooling!…
THAT S RIGHT!!!!!!
@LTM… Beyonce is said to be Janet, Tina Turner, Diana Ross, etc! I don’t think anyone has figured out who they want to stick with yet. To be honest for me when it comes down to the ladies in each generation it’s: Diana/Tina Turner/ Dionne W, etc ; then… Donna Summer; Janet/ Madonna /Whitney; then Lauryn/ TLC & Brandy; then Beyonce… I feel like she’s in her own lane. She’s no carbon copy of any other artist.
Madonna numbers are huge… I’m sure so many could see those same numbers (MJ, Janet, Whitney, Mariah) if they toured as long as she has!
@Taylor swifts Number One Fan – say what !! So your telling me that if Janet sung balads people would be bored, well you’ve obviously never seen the HBO specials, you can barely hear her the crowd is screaming that loud so please, come harder next time…
And dancing is just a distaction from a song that normally isn’t that good… Oh no you didn’t, so all Michael Jacksons dancing is to distant you from his poor songs then too, NO ?! Didn’t think so, if Taylor could dance she would, she doesn’t not dance because she doesn’t want to distract you from her crappy songs so do us a favour and just shh 🙂
Beyonce stans is really haters to the bone. You guys are going to be part of the cause & effect of Beyonce down fall that will be near coming. You guys think Bey invented this and that and better but u have to realize that Bey took notes from the one and only Ms. Jackson. Janet been running the game since 86; going in 2 1/2 decades strong. Everything Bey has did JJ has done already. JJ sold out stadiums, domes & arenas long time before Bey even had her 1st #1 hit. Like serious, you guys should be praising Janet for the work she created in Bey. Their won’t be a Bey if their warent a Janet. So stop the hating bcuz its pointless. The day Bey finally falls, will be the same day u Bey stans will be biting ur touges.
@RYAN whats doing ballads and just singing a song go to do with anything.. she doesnt need to be automatically dancing, just because its an up tempo song. Not all taylors songs are ballards… you dont see half naked dancers behind her.. do you? its all about the song.
Why bring Mj in to this, when i said… the song isnt good NORMALLY? and also… i said these days! meaning in the present and not 30 years back! She wouldnt want to dance, because her songs have no connection to dancing.. i mean how can hand movements and a few jumps have anything to do with the actual song? Nothing. its all for show.
DEAD at the bitter Beyawnce stans! STAY MAD!

Janet Jackson’s Rock Witchu Tour Sells Out in Las Vegas
September 22, 2008 by VegasNews.com
Music icon Janet Jackson kicked off her highly anticipated Rock Witchu tour to rave reviews, major media coverage and fan adulation during opening week of the smash tour, selling out Staples Center in Los Angeles and Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas last week. Adding to the excitement in Los Angeles was the addition of hip-hop superstar LL Cool J, who joined the tour at the Staples Center on September 17th and will continue on the Live Nation produced tour from Chicago on September 25th through the final date at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas on October 22nd.
Rock Witchu kicked off on September 10th in Vancouver, BC with unparalleled dance routines and stage production featuring more than two hours of music including fan favorites and smash hits “Control,” “Rhythm Nation,” “Pleasure Principal,” “All For You,” “Young Love,” “Let’s Wait A While,” “What Have You Done For Me Lately,” “Escapade,” and more along with new singles “Feedback” and “LUV,” spanning three decades of music that have made Janet Jackson one of the most celebrated performers in history.
LL Cool J joins the tour on the heels of 13th album release, Exit 13. More than a hip-hop artist, more than an actor, the author, television producer, two-time Grammy Award winner LL Cool J is an American icon who kicked opened his own doors to music, Hollywood, television, publishing, and along the way created opportunities for countless others. His 20 million album sales worldwide are just the tip of the iceberg for this international megastar, recipient of countless industry awards.
Janet is killin em!!!! And we can all tell cuz the HATERZ are in full force!!!

Haters will hate but she has the #1 tour ticket on Ticketmaster!
Janet Jackson fans really couldn’t wait to see the pop diva.
After tickets to the April 14 Los Angeles date of her newly announced “Number Ones, Up Close and Personal Tour” went on sale at 10 a.m. Friday morning, they sold out in less than 10 minutes, according to a spokesman for Live Nation.
To try to keep up with the demand, Jackson and Live Nation have added an additional Gibson Amphitheatre performance for Friday, April 15.
Jackson previously made news when she broke Beyonce’s attendance record when headlining the 2010 Essence Music Festival. After selling out the Louisiana Superdome — where the annual festival is held — Jackson reportedly commanded the first-ever waiting list for the Festival with additional seats erected and sold behind the staium.
NOW WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT HER NOT BEING ABLE TO SELL OUT…I THOUGHT SO. PICK YOUR FACE UP!

The fans waiting for Miss Jackson.
janet is the queen and a icon now they are calling her the untouchable .beyonce and janet are two different entertainers beyonce is more like hoochie coochi dancer shaking her fake booty pad and opening her legs and spreading her legs like she likes people to see her c****** all the time janet is a dancer she has a move for every and each beat in her music no female none has more dance steps not counting the ones that she does on tv and concerts each video is different beyonce stole janet jackson rhythm of nation steps from janet performance of one of her concerts and she stole michael jackson too he had an girl dress like an angel crying she found that and copied that in michael jackson this is it he had alot of marching men in armor outfits. on a award show who had a whole lot of marching men in armor suits adn had the nerve to have on a armor suit like janet when janet was doing the michael tribute see beyonce copy off people when they stuff get old .click on beyonce likes to copy everybody but she talks about the jacksons ger daddy use her but janet did her 20 by herslf with the help of michael and terry lewis her early years fame good times different strokes and soul train and other tv shows her dad helped a little till michael got her away janet hasnt to much perform close to 7 years beyonce being doing her awards and movies in these years .janet comes out for a final tour 2011 and her tickets is gone in less than 10 minutes beyonce aint never sold tickets less than 10 he lied at first and said she was taking a break to rest and start a family when it was she was told peope was tired of seeing her to much.janet has came out and beat beyonce record of having the largest fans no female artist has never never never sold tickets in less than 10 minutes she has goteen awards for being the best female dancer thats why michael jackson is the king and janet is the queen queens dont copy off nobody michael and janetvideos are different than everybody elses. i havent seen 1 vide of beyonce that measure to janet videos its a lot of hard work remembering so many dance moves ciara does janet moves and if it wasnt for janet doing those move beyo ciar and any one else they would be doing somehing else,there is 1 janet but you have bey shak jlo do the same dances madona is not the queen she attracted only white people . queen has to attrat all race nobody can touch those dance steps over 20 year s when beyonce sell ticket less than 10 min she will alttle close to janet with some more years of performing,and remember janet is 43 and still look good,like they say elvis is the king he was for whites michael was the king he attrcted all races
remember janet has been on tv and singing since she was 7 when the jacksons had their on tv show and other stuff. beyonce has been in the business i think 7 or 8 years so she hasnt started her 20 years yet janet b*** and body still in shape beyonc is going to have to store away more booty pads when she gets in her 40and this is the icon and queen website when beyon sell her tickets in less than 10 and you still have to add more seats asit behind stage add another date haters get off janet website with them singers copying off each other
thats why she is the queen and icon beyonce hasnt gotten award for being that yet were talking about a quee that just broke another record
you must like to see the same dance step over and over if you beyonce is a better performer im not gay get tired of seeing women dance for men all beyonce do is open her legs and that ring alarm when they first start off she stole that from janet thats in one of janet concert and if she was a better performer janet wouldnt have broke her record so stop the beyonce on janet twitter go to beyon page and say she is a better performer we dont believe it on this web this web say janet just broke beyonce record that tells you the fans says and news just told the world that janet is the better performer
Thank God it wasn’t MJ. We all know what would have happened without a doubt. There would be no argument.
