I did see Janet and Madonna from the same seat (in the 2nd row) at the Oakland Arena in 2001. Janet came out with a sappy lame attitude of "OH my, you all really, really, love me and I love you too." Madonna came out with an FU attitude as in "I'm gonna blow the rough off this house!" Madonna far outperforms Janet--particularly outside the U.S. Poor little Janet could not even go to Europe with this tour because her people would not support her.
