Janet To Headline Essence Festival

Published: Tuesday 30th Mar 2010 by Sam

It has today been announced that Pop icon Janet Jackson will be headlining the 2010 Essence Music Festival in New Orleans on July 2nd. The billing will be Jackson’s first fully-fledged concert since her ‘Rock Witchu’ tour stop in New York’s Madison Square Garden back in 2008.

———————————————————–

Go Janet! Besides it being great for her to return to the stage on home soil (after a brief promotional stint here in Europe), it’s even better to see her doing what she does best – entertain! Here’s hoping that new album materializes sooner, rather than later!

    I love Janet but realistically, Janet does alot of Michael in her performances, from the head movement, the stare, the movement it”s all MJ. But it’s all family, so it’s love.

  20. MJfan March 31, 2010

    But I love Janet, and young posters please stop comparing Janet to others, she’s the staple for the youngstas out there. Know Janet stats before claiming she’s not on the topp of her game, when every album she puts out, hits number 1.

    Janet on 106 and Park – she was so pretty, she and Malik were adorable together. And the host Terrance; sweetheart calm down, I know it’s Janet, but come on, your love for Janet must be contained. lol.
