Janet Jackson Performs On ‘Idol’ Finale

Published: Wednesday 26th May 2010 by Trent

A short-haired Janet Jackson took the ‘American Idol‘ by storm this evening. The icon performed a medley of her classic ‘Again’ as well as her new song ‘Nothing’ from the ‘Why Did I Get Married Too?’ soundtrack and ‘Nasty’. Check out the performance below:

Jackson didn’t do too much dancing but she definitely commanded every inch of that stage. Just looking at her perform it was clearly that she had a very large…stage presence. It’s great to see Jackson doing what she does best and hopefully this will encourage her to finally get the ball rolling on making a new album. Great stuff!

  9. Tami May 26, 2010

    Did you see Janet’s Body? My goodness especially with the short hair cut it draws so much more attention to her curves. It was great seeing her perform especially her classic songs again and nasty loved it.

  10. Stoney-Brie May 26, 2010

    janet works with people who are at her level, your girl is famous but has zilch talent, she is not even interested in learning her craft, busy walking around with nice clothes and talks about how s**, etc…. sorry
    your girl will work with jlo since she is flopping everywhere…

  13. Hazel May 26, 2010

    HOLY FREAKING MOLY. I’m in utter awe. She went in, on, around and through. I’m done. QUEEN.

  14. geronimo deuces May 26, 2010

    omfg why cant you people just acknowledge that xtina and janet both did well?
    _______

    i think its because most people haven’t heard xtina’s new song thats why but she nailed it

  15. meme May 26, 2010

    ohhhhh she killed it. yes that is what i call performance, wish rihanna could do like her… then it would have been huge…cause she is taller….but i guess she just dont have sense like Ms JANET has….

  16. Bbop May 26, 2010

    Does she ever sign live? I mean ever?! And before the stans come in here no she wasn’t singing live.

  17. JJFan1814 May 26, 2010

    @BBOP
    *DEAD* CHILD U SO DUMB.

    @GERONIMODEUCES
    GO KILL URSELF. LOL

  18. SEAN2010 May 26, 2010

    JANET SOUNDED JUST LIKE MJ (WHICH MEANS SOUNDED GOOD)

    SHE LOOKED AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

    HER BODY IS OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    SHE WAS VERY SASSY! THE HAIR CUT JUST ADDED MORE SASS TO ME!

    JANET IS THE QUEEN.

  19. OnMyHaterAde May 26, 2010

    I faint, Stand up, See Janet, and faint again.

    Her body was the bizness….and the performance was entertaining too (the most of the evening)

  20. SEAN2010 May 26, 2010

    UMM SHE CLEARLY WAS SINGING LIVE. LOL

    SO PLZ LETS NOT WITH THIS LATE ASS SHADE!

    JANET SANG LIVE PLENTY OF TIMES AND SHE ALSO PRE-RECORDS!

    ALOT OF ARTIST DO IT. LETS NOT ACT BRAND NEW TO THE GAME. END OF STORY!

    JANET JACKSON LIFE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>you

    ANYWAYS BACK TO THE QUEEN!!

    JANET WAS AMAZING.

  21. LUV-LEE May 26, 2010

    JANET IS THE QUEEN!!!! 😀
    YAAAASSSSS!!!!!!!!! I HAD NO IDEA SHE WAS GONNA BE ON IDOL!!! WHAT A SURPRISE!!!
    And YES…Janet sang LIVE!!! Her whole performance as she ALWAYS does. People just hate the fact that Janet always had a unique ability to dance and sing live. Very gifted. Most people can’t do it, so they HATE and say Janet lip-synchs, but she deosn’t. She has a unique SKILL. Michael has the same gift. That’s why…
    JANET IS THE QUEEN!!!!

  22. SEAN2010 May 26, 2010

    PLZ DONT SHADE RIHANNA!

    A RIHANNA FAN JUST CAME IN HERE AND SHOWED JANET LOVE!

  23. mike May 26, 2010

    JANET WAS NOT SINGING LIVE U IDIOTS

    THE ONLY THING SHE DID LIVE WAS THE TALK/SHOUTING AT THE END

  24. No Ma’am May 26, 2010

    That was good. If American Idiot promised more performances like this then I would actually start watching it again. I find it fun to listen to siblings sing & compare their voices to look out for vocal similarities. I do the same with Beyonce & her sister, & Brandy & Ray J & so on…

    I think Its great that MJ Fans have someone to carry on his legacy. & Janet has an Alter Ego just like Beyonce I see, Why wont she admit it…

  25. geronimo deuces May 26, 2010

    Go janet go

  26. No Ma’am May 26, 2010

    That was pretty good. If American Idiot promised more performances like this then I would actually start watching it again. I find it fun to listen to siblings sing & compare their voices to look out for vocal similarities. I do the same with Beyonce & her sister, & Brandy & Ray J & so on…

    *I think Its great that MJ Fans have someone to carry on his legacy.*

  27. stan May 26, 2010

    she probably sang live during “nothing”, but lipsynched “nasty”

    janet is looking real good, heck, even better than some chicks half her age

  28. jmoore May 26, 2010

    Yesss, that was a hot performance…u betta SING Janet. she looks hawt.

  29. jayden May 26, 2010

    her usual weak vocals… but great performance by a performer…that is all

    kill myself for what you ^&%$#?? Yes janet killed it, too bad rih cant do that, she is lethargic on stage with “0” talent

  32. LUV-LEE May 26, 2010

    JANET SANG LIVE THE WHOLE TIME!!! Get it through your skull!!! It must hurt for you to watch Janet do something that you can’t. I have seen Janet in concert live SEVERAL times. Trust me….Janet sings live. Even when she’s dancing. She has a unique ability that only Michael had as well. I don’t know anyone else that can dance like she does and sing live. She’s blessed with a gift and I know it hurts, but the sooner you accept it, the happier you will be. 🙂

  33. TT4Breezy May 26, 2010

    At first I was like yth r these ppl attempting to sing Janet’s song but all was right with the world when she came out! Didn’t kn she had cut her hair that short fr a recent pic I had seen. She looks and sounds great! Just seeing those green light special effects as a tribute to Michael js shows how much love they had for each other..

  35. CoCo May 26, 2010

    Janet was singing live tonight , so haters back the f*** up!!!!! x-tina did the damn thing too and i am not ashamed to say it! my girl Janet tore it up, and blew it dddooooooowwwwnnnnn!!!! loved it loved it . true Janet fans know when she is live , she throws a lil more grit and lower part of her register! one should not be surprised by how she killed it tonight . SHE IS JANET JACKSON B******!!!!!! what the f*** u expect?

  36. kcity28 May 26, 2010

    Incredible! The true Queen of POP has arrived! The true Queen of pop has shut it down! The true Queen of pop has just made everyone that ever had any doubt… a believer!

  37. SEAN2010 May 26, 2010

    PEOPLE ARE SO MAD. LOL

    YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

    JANET ISNT EVEN COMING OUT WITH AN ALBUM AND SHE STILL HAS YALL MAD. LOL

    JANET CLEARLY WASNT LIPPING TONIGHT. LOL

  38. PLAIN AND SIMPLE May 26, 2010

    Way to go Janet

  39. Keith May 26, 2010

    WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I have to acknowledge that haters on this post and really wonder if something is wrong mentally. All of those amateurs and past IDOLS should consider themselves schooled. Christina was good but Janet SHUT IT DOWN.

    If ya know anything about J, hand held mike means LIVE vocals. Why is that even in question? And she acquitted herself well, even sounding like big bro at times.

    But like all legends, it wasn’t just one aspect it was the electricity that happens when it ALL COMES TOGETHER – vocals, image, and staging. And for the first time in a LONG time, J’s team got it right.

    I am SO GLAD I’m seeing her in New Orleans! Hell, I even went and joined Twitter so I could follow her and Gil.

  40. SEAN2010 May 26, 2010

    DEAD@ ALL JANET HAD TO DO WAS WHISPER TO BECOME AN ICON/LEGEND

    WHEN YOUR FAVS GONNA DO IT?

    YOU CANT TAKE HER ICONIC WHISPERS ????????????????? LOL

  41. ~AalexisR~ The Summer King (The Bahamas) May 26, 2010

    Great performance. Vocals were on point tonight Ms. Jackson!

  42. B May 26, 2010

    Hi haters…nice to hear from you AGAIN….but this time you can’t say NOTHING…cuz Janet was all kinds of NASTY tonight!!!!

    Trent, you’re right…she didn’t do much dancing…but she didn’t have to!!! She sang, she titillated and gyrated and WORE THE HELL OUT OF THAT CATSUIT!!!!! All in her Louboutins!!!!

    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    This is why I can’t stand young people. DO SOME DAMN RESEARCH BEFORE YOU POST SOME B******* LIKE THAT..

  44. kcity28 May 26, 2010

    Janet’s alter ego is Strawberry… She mentioned this waaaaay before it became a trend!

  45. Ghetto Fab May 26, 2010

    Janet shut American Idol the f*** down!!!! Haters SIT DOWN and Stay MAD! She sang live and looked damn good while doing it. That short cut is the shitShe owned that damn stage! Her body is the business! Your favorite artists will never be able to do this at her age. She is a living legend. Bow down and worship Queen Janet LMAO She is a Pop Icon whether you all like it or not. There is nothing any of you can do to take that away from her so you will all remain upset lol. Her catalogue SHITS on all your favorites except maybe Madonna.

    When any of the b****** you stan for has inspired a generation of artists give me a call. Til then STAY PRESSED!

  46. Sarah May 26, 2010

    Janet did great! Very nice curves!

  47. TROR May 26, 2010

    Quit frontin you damn stans. That bald b**** lip synced. She’s got about as much vocal talent as she does hair.

  48. ARTISTK May 26, 2010

    LEGENDARY. ICON. WHAT A GREAT MOMENT FOR JJ! LOVED IT!

  49. Ghetto Fab May 26, 2010

    @ Tror

    She’s bald headed and most likely looks better than you or your mama will ever look in yall entire life. Who gives a rats ass that she lip synced the last part. By this point yall know exactly what the hell her voice sounds like. She is a f****** legend. A Pop Icon! Bow down and praise her lol. On the real though, Show some damn respect. Her ENTIRE catalogue will s*** on all of your favorites so HUSH! Like I said before, when ANY of your favorites can inspire a generation of pop artists, call me and then we will have a chat. Til then….

    Good Night!

  50. Rashaan May 26, 2010

    TROR your an IDIOT stop hating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU AND ALL THE REST OF THE HATERS CAN SUCK ON MISS JACKSON TOES! She SHUT THAT F****** PLACE DOWN and nothing you haters can say can take away from the excitement she bought to this boring FINALE! YOU GO JANET!

  51. evening May 26, 2010

    YAY go Janet!!!!

    Awesome performance, it gave me chills

  52. TROR May 26, 2010

    Janet is a talentless tart who is only famous because of her last name and who her brother is. She’s a studio creation with zero singing ability. Which is why her mic is always turned off while the tape plays in the background. I’m surprised she didn’t whip out her titty again. That’s what poseurs like her tend to do to get attention when the talent just isn’t all there.

    Now it’s a good night! 😉

  53. BEYONCE VS. WORLD May 26, 2010

    THAT WAS HOT FROM THE OUTFITS TO THE VOICE AND IT TAKE A LITTLE MORE THAN WHISPERING TO DO WAS JANET DOES VOCALLY EVERY SINGER ISN’T GOING TO BE LOUD LIKE JENNIFER HUDSON AND CHRISTINA A. BUT SOME GIRLS DO WHISPER I WON’T SAY NAMES CASSIE BUTJANE T IS A SINGER CASE CLOSED

  54. Jasmine May 26, 2010

    It is too much hating on here. I liked the performance. Stop hating people.

  55. BEYONCE VS. WORLD May 26, 2010

    ALL THE WORK JANET HAS PUT IN AND THIS IS THE S*** YA’LL SAY PLEASE

  56. Steph May 26, 2010

    I can kinda sorta under if it’s a heavily choreographed uptempo number but any singer who stands there and lips a ballad doesn’t deserve to be called a SINGER.

  57. STLOUISDON May 26, 2010

    My baby once again killed it Her first name aint baby its Janet Ms. Jackson,if your nasty,that body is banging janet so was the performance haters please leave…

  58. xratedforj May 26, 2010

    Janet did her thang tonight and i don’t care what anyone else say. The vocals where live despite what some silly people are saying. Again you do not need a loud…powerhouse voice to sing… she has a very unique pretty voice that she uses very well. That catsuit was like “Pa Dow”! She just literally commanded that stage like a true entertainer….BRAVO

  59. jo jo May 26, 2010

    She was lip-syncing MJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOR SURE! SHE WAs lip-syncing, and MJ’s voice was there. He is ALIVE. nuff said.

  60. Dee May 26, 2010

    I don’t think she was singing live.

  61. Oggie May 26, 2010

    OH MY GOD!!!!!! JANET JACKSON PROVED TONIGHT WHY SHE IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE BADDIEST BIYATCH IN THE WHOLE GAME!!!! THAT PERFORMACE GAVE ME ALL OVER CHILLS!!!!! AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!!!

  62. Bbop May 26, 2010

    The vocals were not live watch closely. Janet hasn’t sang live in years. She can’t even sing. She doesn’t have the vocal power and breathing control to sing live then go dance. She never has. Janet can hold a note but she can’t sing.

  63. Rashaan May 26, 2010

    JANET was singing people on here kill me….If you don’t like Janet why in the hell are you here! My goodness people need to really get a grip on your miserable lives…GIVE PROPS WHEN PROPS ARE DUE!

  64. ~TeAM WeeZY~ May 26, 2010

    YES! That was good! She did really well singing “Nothing.” I liked “Nasty,” but she did lip-synch most of the song! Stop frontin’ people, we ALL know Janet is beyond an ICON but she lip-synchs alot, as she did here, which is understandable. Come on, little ones don’t be fooled by the “talking intermission” throughout the song. It’s how ALL the REAL pros do it!

    Anyways………

    Her body is beyond A-MA-ZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    LOOOOOOVVVVVVVEEEEEEE YOU JANET! 🙂 TEAM JANET FOREVER AND A LIFETIME!

    i MiSS MiChAeL 🙁

  65. nickalus Randle May 26, 2010

    BABY JANET IS FINE !!!!! YES YES YESSSSSSS (GET IT GIRL!) loved every single second, I hope they sell it on iTunes, I will be purchasing 4 the iPod….ahaha

  66. DIVAback May 26, 2010

    Jenet and xtina were well done in this show!
    Most memorable episode in this season of emerican idiot.

  67. R_Martinez09 May 26, 2010

    YOU WORK THAT MUTHA F***** STAGE!!!!! WORK IT GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!…..YES!!!!!!……YESSSS!!!!!! MY GOD!!!! SO DAMN AMAZING. GO ON GIRL WITH YO BIG OL’ BOOTY AND NEW BANGIN BODY!!!!! LOVED IT!!!! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!! DAMN!!!!!!

    JANET AS ALWAYS, YOU WERE SIMPLY WONDERFUL, AWESOME PERFOMANCE AND YOU LOOK AMAZING. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, AND HOPE YOU DO ANOTHER CONCERT SOON!!!!! YOUR FANS ARE WAITING FOR YOU RETURN TO THE STAGE.

  69. geronimo deuces May 26, 2010

    WoW

  70. Daniel May 26, 2010

    Janet has a weak voice and a big ass. Probably her ass sings better than the owner.

  71. Trace May 26, 2010

    Janet lipped that entire performance.

    Why do the producers let these so-called “singers” get away with not singing on American Idol? Really great example to set for the contestants.

    Nevermind vocal ability, just bop around on stage to a back track.

  72. Darren May 26, 2010

    It was amazing and everything I’ve been waiting for but if you dont think that is lip syncing then you can’t hear very well. Janet has recently started to sing a teeny-tiny bit more during her live shows but 99% of the time she is lip syncing. Especially with all of her hot dancing.

  73. pink May 26, 2010

    Janet lipsynced and did not dance. I believe she can do better than that.

  74. xratedforj May 26, 2010

    I guess when she came out singing ‘Again’ with the other singers she was lip synching? She sang all of ‘Nothing’ live she would have no reason to lipsynch…believe what you want she came and done her thang. Quit reaching…..

  75. Danni May 27, 2010

    JANET’S BOOTY….

  76. SEAN2010 May 27, 2010

    LOL PEOPLE ARE SOOOO ANGRY!

    AND YALL GONNA STAY THAT WAY TOO. LOL

  77. “Dj Y2k Malone” May 27, 2010

    Janet is the Queen

  78. GangsterA May 27, 2010

    She did great amazing esp nothing

  79. Andre Le Dale May 27, 2010

    I died last night when Janet Jackson walked on that mother f****** stage. I got burned alive when that b**** performed NASTY in that cat suit MEOW!!!!!! Baddest ever OMG. JANET MOTHER F****** JACKSON……. #1 STAN…

  80. Fred May 27, 2010

    I dont normally watch idol but did since it was the finale. I was SOOO happy when she came on stage OMG AWESOMENESS 🙂 Glad I watched it now.

    She sang her first song live all the way through. Nasty she lipsynched partial just like her brother did with his songs. Nobody can sing without getting winded while dancing its impossible most dancers/singers lip synch. She didnt dance as much as she normally does but she really doesnt need to she is already a legend anyway.

    Someone is retarded and said she has no talent? omg you need to see help for real she is an icon, without her brother idiot

    She looked gorgeous

  81. Yellow Gorillah May 27, 2010

    YEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

    MISS JACKSON IF YOUR NASTTTTYY!

    LEGEEEEEENDDD!!!!

    THAT ALL I GOT TO SAY =P

  82. Gucci May 27, 2010

    this was so cute. I love janet she is so incredible

  83. likeCAESAR May 27, 2010

    Damn…don’t really matter who the post is about on this site, because the comments will always lead back to Rihanna. Hate it or love it…she must being doin something right.

  84. goldandrubies May 27, 2010

    I want her to mentor some of these younger artists. She did her thang!!!!

  85. stellastar May 27, 2010

    GOO JANET YESSSSSSSSSS. im so proud of janet dude she works it and her body is insaneee still, but i dont see the point in that song nothing it has no melody ands not catchy waste of time. but love u janet yessss

  86. christopherbeke@rogers.com May 27, 2010

    You people make me laugh. Who cares if she lip sanc or not. It was a live performance by the Queen of Pop. Just seeing her back on stage, looking awesome and laying down a gold standard performance is good enough for me. I was surprised to see her and it was definitely the highlight of the Idol season.

  87. Chrissy May 27, 2010

    Nothing was clearly live and her body is the business, And why take the time out of your wonderful life to come and make disparaging comments about anyone? clearly its not so wonderful

  88. anonymous May 27, 2010

    JANET DID A GRRRRRRRREATTTTTTT JOB.WHAT AN ICON!

  90. Last Boy on Earth May 27, 2010

    I love this woman but she sounded strange when she shout in the “Nasty” performance

  91. Chaz May 27, 2010

    And once again The Queen of Pop leaves her mark!

  92. bobs May 27, 2010

    I have to say, SHE KILLED IT. Wow.
    And SHE DANCED her ass off. That first movie in nasty had everyone screaming at my house.
    SHE KILLED IT.

    Janet is finally back… she had a decade of crap songs. Come on, sing, bring it hard.

    WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!

    I AM IN TEARS!!!!! JANET JACKSON IS THE QUEEN, I MUST BOW DOWN AND KISS HER FEET!

    THIS WOMEN CAME FROM OUT OF NOWHERE AND SHUT THE ENTIRE BUILDING DOWN!

    SHE IS A TRUE ICON…. A TRUE LEGEND!

    TO THE HATERS THAT LOVE TO THROW SHADE… JANET DID SING “LIVE VOCALS” AND IT IS VERY OBVIOUS.

  95. lisa May 27, 2010

    JANET WAS VERY SLOW WITH HER DANCING, SHE CLEARLY DON’T HAVE IT NO MORE AND NOW I SEE HOW CIARA IS MUCH BETTER WITH DANCING THAN JANET, SORRY MS. JACKSON YOUR TIME IS UP, CIARA GOT THIS GENERATION HANDS DOWN!

  96. SEAN2010 May 27, 2010

    HER PERFORMANCE WASNT BASED ON DANCING HARDCORE!

    IT WAS BASED ON HER IMAGE AND STAGE PRESENCE!

    WHICH MOST ARTIST TODAY LACKS! SO YEA. YALL WOULDNT KNOW ABOUT THAT.

  97. Renae May 27, 2010

    Janet did good and I actually like the short style on her.

  98. hardcastle May 27, 2010

    you go janet, keep showing them what you working with. i just wonder if people know that if you never song another song, danced another step, are made another movie, you are a music icon, and the baby girl to the royal family of music. and i must say that you are looking as s*** as ever.

  99. hardcastle May 27, 2010

    oh and when you have accomplish as much as you have on your own, without the help of your equally famous family i’d say you are one hot s*** number. and you are like fine wine you are getting better looking with time. and you are truly such a sweet and beautiful iconic super star and legend, and it is well know that you do not pay any attention to the mean things that people loves to harp on day in and day out.

  100. hardcastle May 27, 2010

    i am reminded of a question that was asked to you , and you simply answered in such a soft , warm and sweet voice you said this,,, i have already been there done that and i am pass all of that and that was so powerful because you shut the b/s down before it could get started, and that is what makes you the legend that you are . and i also remember you and cher getting the legend award at the same time. love you ms jackson

  101. Last Boy on Earth May 27, 2010

    @lisa
    b**** dont even put C-Error one the same sentence as Miss Jackson, you should have been burned while saying that

  102. hardcastle May 27, 2010

    the performance was great, janet your voice kind of sounds like your big brother , just beautifyl all round performance. people can learn a lot by watching how things are done if the are sharp, you worked the stage with grace, class, s***, and with lots of your own originality and creativity love it .

  103. Chaz May 27, 2010

    @LISA b**** please don’t go there because we all know that Janet at her prime would whoop Ciara’s ass into the ground! Try coming back when Ciara has revived that failed music career of hers that came on her THIRD ALBUM! How can you compare that flop to a true icon!

  104. Black May 27, 2010

    Madonna will always be queen of pop. Check the records baby. But y’all put to much hype on this performance, I mean the set up was hot (as always). But come on. The chick can’t sing, she sounds like a lil girl at a middle skool talent show. Ms.Jackson please.lol

  105. Daniel May 27, 2010

    Janet is the Queen.

    QUEEN OF BIG ASS.

  106. lisa May 27, 2010

    AT CHAZ THE TRUTH HURT, Y0U KNOW EVEN WHEN JANET WAS DANCING BACK IN THE DAY SHE STILL DON’T HAVE NOTHING ON CIARA WHEN IT COME TO DANCING, PLEASE BELIEVE IT!

  107. SEAN2010 May 27, 2010

    LOL HOLD UP

    1. FIRST OF ALL “BLACK” HOW YOU GON REP MADONNA AND THEN SAY JANET JACKSON CANT SING? AND I GUESS MADONNA CAN? PLZ SIT DOWN. LOL YOU MADE NO SENSE S****.

    2. CIARA CAN DANCE BETTER THAN JANET? ON WHAT PLANET? NOT THIS ONE!

    CIARA ONLY HAS ONE STYLE OF DANCING. LOL JANET HAS MANY!

    I WILL SAY CIARA MAYBE A BETTER STREET DANCER AKA FREESTYLER! BUT THAT IS ALL SHE DOES!

    JANET SLAYS CIARA FOR THE GAWDS. LOL SO PLZ.

  108. SEAN2010 May 27, 2010

  109. SEAN2010 May 27, 2010

    LOL@ ALL OF THESE COMMENTS.

    THAT GOES TO SHOW JANET WAS THE S*** AND STILL IS. LOL

  110. ???? May 27, 2010

    I love Janet & defintely love this performance but i’m still on the fence whether she was singing live or not?? I don’t really think sooo that was WWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too perfect for “Nothing” She killed that s***. Work B****!!!!!!

  111. Chaz May 27, 2010

    @Lisa what truth are you speaking of honey? Do me a favor and reference Sean’s statement because he is spot on! Ciara has ONE style of dance which is street and granted she is damn good at it. Janet on the other hand gives you diversity and technique so put to bed your silly notions and realize that when it comes to overrall dance Janet is and will always be NUMERO UNO!!!

  112. lisa May 27, 2010

    AT CHAZ, WHEN JANET DANCE IT LOOK LIKE ROBOT, NO REAL DANCING LIKE CIARA SO SAY WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY, BECAUSE YOU JUST WAISTING YOUR TIME, THERE NO REAL DANCING LIKE WHAT CIARA DOES, I RATHER SEE CIARA PERFORM ANYTIME OF OLD JANET!

  113. Anne May 27, 2010

    It doesn’t matter if Janet is singing or lip synching, her vocal ability is average at best (same goes for the other professional dancer–Ciara). Janet sounds like a watered down version of Michael Jackson. With only an average voice, I don’t think it’s adequate to refer to Janet as the ‘Queen’. By the way, her dancing was not all that during the performance of Nasty.

  114. Gucci May 27, 2010

    ahaahhhahaahahaha the ci error stans need to sit their asses all the way DOWN. She will NEVER be Janet.

  115. bips May 27, 2010

    @gucci finally someone who has sense !!!i luv me some ci error but please her stans must stop the crack asap!!!!!!!

  116. Stacey May 27, 2010

    Go and watch Janet’s videos and then go and watch Ciara’s or any other female artist out there and come back and tell me who the real artist is.

    JANET IS THE QUEEN. All hail.

  117. lisa May 27, 2010

    I WENT AND WATCH CIARA VIDEO’S SUPPOSE TO JANET AND CIARA VIDEO ARE SO MUCH BETTER THAN JANET, JANET HAVE TO HAVE ALL THAT BACKGROUND DANCER TO MAKE HER LOOK GOOD, CIARA CAN DO IT BY HERSELF SHE GOT IT LIKE THAT, I USE TO WONDER WHO WAS THE BEST BUT AFTER SEEING LAST NIGHT IT WOULD BE CIARA HANDS DOWN EVEN WHEN JANET DANCE BACK IN THE DAY.

  118. GangsterA May 27, 2010

    Hey how many number one did janet have on hot 100 can some one give an answer is it like rayn said or less or more im not shrowing shade or any thing i just want to know

  119. Stacey May 27, 2010

    Lisa:

    Janet Jackson’s career spans 36 years. There’s no way in hell you watched all of her videos. The fact that you even dare compare ANY female artist to Miss Jackson is ludicrous at best and sad at the worst.

  120. Chaz May 27, 2010

    @Gangstera Janet has 10 #1’s on the Billboard Hot 100 but the 34 that Ryan was referring to was songs that topped the Hot 100, Dance, R&B charts etc and that number totals 34!

    @Lisa your arguement is and forever will be invalid because the majority of people that you ask will tell you that Janet Jackson shits on Ciara dancewise. She was the ORIGINATOR AND INNOVATOR! Ciara herself has cited Janet as an influence time and again. When young pop starlets are coming out and saying how Ciara’s dance moves inspired them then I will start to take your posts more seriously. Until then….YAWN!

  121. Its Me Again May 27, 2010

    When I see hairstyles like this all I can think of is how painfully often the poor woman has to subject herself to having her scalped fried with hair relaxer to maintain the shape and polish of that style.

    She looks stunning though.

  122. TRACY May 27, 2010

    @LISA

    PLEASE GET YOUR CI-ERROR TRANSVESTITE WORSHIPING ASS OFF HERE. YOU WERE TALKING THE SAME S*** ON OTHER BLOGS. HOW COME YOUR CIARA IS STILL A FLOP? YOU ARE HIGHLY INSECURE (LIKE MOST CI-ERROR STANS). SHE’S A JOKE. PEOPLE LAUGHED AT HER “TRIBUTE” PERFORMANCE FOR MJ @ THE 2009 BET AWARDS. JANET JACKSON DOES REAL CHOREOGRAPHY. CIARA DOES STRIPPER MOVES

    P.S. DON’T REPLY TO ME B**** OR I’LL EMBARRASS YOU ALL OVER THIS THREAD.

  123. jess May 28, 2010

    @LISA

    I guess you’ve never seen Janet’s videos “Pleasure Principle” and “Control” where she DANCES BY HERSELF and SHITS ALL OVER that MAN Ci-Error. You’re pathetic. The fact that you come to a Janet post to talk about Ci-error PROVES HOW MUCH BETTER JANET IS. If you truly believed the MAN Ci-Error was better you wouldn’t have commented. Now take your f****** stupidity somewhere else you stupid c***.

  124. ~TeAM WeeZY~ May 28, 2010

    @DJ Y2K Malone and others who think Janet didn’t lipsynch

    That audio @DJ Y2K Malone posted above only further proves that she did lipsynch during “Nasty.” During “Again” and “Nothing” you could hear the crowd screaming in the background because it’s live! But during the “Nasty” verses, you can’t hear the crowd AT ALL because they are pre-recorded vocals. You can only hear the crowd when she shouts to the crowd during the chorus! Check for yourself!

    I’m not throwing shade nor am I “hating” as you kids like to say, but I’m all for the truth because I am a HUGE Janet fan! Love her to death, but we all should stop being in denial because she lips very often, but I think it’s understandable!

  125. keith May 28, 2010

    You youngsters are so very interesting. What major performer with uptempo songs doesn’t pre-record vocal sections? If you’re stupid enough to think your favorites sing live and do 8 or 10 count choreography for 10, 30 or 45 minutes straight then yeah, you go on with that. If I were a performer, I wouldn’t do it. I would focus on the slow songs and midtempos.

    I think what I see is a few folks wondering how it is everyone all over cyberspace has good things to say about a Jackson and JUST HAVE TO throw their negative .02 in.

    Rhianna does her thing, Ciara is trying to get her thing back. Why must their fans spew such negativity toward Janet? I don’t get it…If we are still caring about either of those ladies (regardless of who their related or married to) in 30 years I will be the first to say well done.

    The vitriol here is ridiculous. Michael/Janet/Madonna WROTE THE PLAYBOOK for modern pop stars. Let it go……..

    :shock::
    For all of you idiots who are speaking about Janet’s dancing (OMG), did you notice that she was wearing 7″ heels? Who the hell dances in heels that high?? ONLY THE QUEEN CAN DO THAT!!! And she was singing LIVE!!!! That’s why…

    JANET IS THE QUEEN!!!

  134. NAS May 29, 2010

    Wow! for a tick I thought that was MJ’s voice. Go Janet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  135. Caitlin May 29, 2010

    Miss Jackson if ya nasty! <3

  136. horatio2 May 29, 2010

    Wow! it is absolutely amazing to me the amount of hate ppl have for Janet. I mean it is just amazing. You will have to be deaf, dumb and blind not to know she was singing “Again” and “Nothing” live. Any damn fool can tell she was singing that live. Just get ova it. She did a great job and that’s whether u like her or not and that idiot that mention Madonna singing is just what I said a damn idiot. Hell Madonna wish she had half of a voice as Janet. Some of you ppl are truly jealous idiots. Janet doing a good performance should not be a threat to your favorite artist whether it Rihanna, Beyonce, Ciara or whom ever. Just give her props and stop being so jealous cause an artist done a good job and it wasn’t ur favorite artist that done it. Every artist have good and bad days, Janet had a good one just like ur favorite artist might have there good ones. I have never understood why so many ppl are threaten by Janet. Till this day, this still makes no sense to me. And any Janet fan knows she sing live many, many, many, many, many, many of times. She does alot of live singing in her concerts but all Janet fans know this already. So her singing live is no big deal to them only to u fools that really don’t know her.

  137. “Dj Y2k Malone” May 29, 2010

    Janet is the master of all of these b****** out Beyonce Rihanna Gaga Christina Ciara and Kelly
    Janet set the standard for them deal with it

  138. Andrew May 30, 2010

    She looks so pretty! 😀
    I hate short hair but her face is amazing so it looks good on her

    I agree with her commanding the stage
    Go Janet
