  8. Robert November 15, 2010

    B**** Janet could never… the old janet maybe… but not this new one. DEAD @ Janet trying to get relevant again off her dead brother’s name. Pathetic.

  9. ~aMaZiNG.Lee~ November 15, 2010

    Beyonce, why must you SLAY so much?

    This is getting ridiculous. She just slayed EVERYONE with this 2 minute video! Such a shame. Smh.

  10. Robert November 15, 2010

    I love beyonce so much… She thinks about her fans. Can’t say the same for others… Can’t wait for new music, videos, and tour!!!

    Haters… she do this for her fans…

    no historic moments

  11. SparkD November 15, 2010

    Rest so you won’t have breakdowns like overworked Michael Jackson and Mariah Carey.

  12. Blasian November 15, 2010

    THE QUEEN! THE BEST ALIVE! CAN’T NO ONE TOUCH HER!

  13. Dane November 15, 2010

    ITS MRS. KNOWLES-CARTER….NOT MS….She is a married woman……..

  14. Nathan November 15, 2010

    I’m gettin annoyed at how this DVD is bein edited. Why do they keep throwin in random clips throughout the performance? It’s so annoying, I jus wanna watch the concert in full from ONE city… No clips from diff cities, no re-recorded vocals, no weird edits…..JUST THE CONCERT ITSELF as if I was there in person. If all the performances r like this and the Say My Name one, I won’t b buying

  15. Inna November 15, 2010

    OMG…She is a DIVA…b****** !!!!!!!

  16. Dane November 15, 2010

    This is more than a Concert…its a Documentary…….

    My heart skips a beat everytime I see the awesome Queen Beyonce ! She’s breath taking and the empitome of a true Goddess/diva! What a LEGEND!

  20. remmy November 15, 2010

    Yeah I watched that earlier today…it made my day…you get to see how hard she works, and why she is the Queen…

    Loved this Diva performance…get the s*** Bee!!

    What you say? She ain’t no diva!

  21. Anne November 15, 2010

    @Nathan,
    Some bloggers are saying that these previews are clips of the edited for TV version and if you purchase the actual DVD the performances won’t be edited. I prefer unedited also but will enjoy it either way.

  22. BLACK November 15, 2010

    loving it

  23. geegley November 15, 2010

    there goes my baby

  24. MADD MEN November 15, 2010

    my problem with beyonce is she over sing way to much, during her live performances she dances more than she sings(see 2010 grammy performance), and she gyrates(dances in a wild manner) wayyy to much……other than that Bee is fine…in other words she comes out trying way to hard in her stage performances(as if she trying to prove a point)…dont know what that is, but it comes out forced

  25. BeyBeyBey November 15, 2010

    GODDESS! QUEEN!

  26. Nichole November 15, 2010

    I think her fans would literally have a heart attack if this chick stopped making music. The DVD looks promising.

    “DEAD @ Janet trying to get relevant again off her dead brother’s name. Pathetic.”

    Robert you dumb ass H**…If anything Janet is the only one THAT IS NOT TRYING TO GET RICH OFF HIS NAME..

    1. She has her own Money

    2. she is too busy doing Movies to really talk about Micheal…

    3. She hasn’t done Interviews…Reality Shows..Etc after his death to promote herself.

    So sit your dumb…ignorant ass down somewhere talking s*** WHEN CLEARLY you have no idea what the f*** your talking about you clown ass blogger 🙂

  30. Beystanbish November 15, 2010

    Shes a beast on stage. Aint nobody f****** with her. She slay your fave. That’s life. Deal with it.

  31. Blair November 15, 2010

    i agree with @anne and @nathan…but i think its just the version from the tv special…im hopin the dvd will b just the performances…the extra clips pull u out of the mood being set

  32. royalkev November 15, 2010

    @ Robert, your doing a little too much for me! It’s fine if you prefer Bey over Janet – but accussing Janet of using the death of her brother to gain something from it is down right wrong. She didn’t ever capitalize off of using the Jackson name, she wanted to walk her own path. She didn’t have MJ write her songs (like he did for some of his brothers and sisters: Rebbie & Jermain, etc). She didn’t duet with him until after 3 mega-successful albums and that was for his album (History). She hasn’t released an album after his passing yet either. All of her accomplishments were due to her hard work and discipline(the 10#1 hits, 100 million album sales, hits across almost every genre from the Hot 100/r&b tothe dance/pop/adult contemporary charts and more. I think you were out of order, so I’m just adding some balance here, because the facts are the facts!… and your only speaking your truth!

  33. GangsterA November 15, 2010

    a slayer slayed this chick is too much amazing i can’t wait to get the dvd

  34. geegley November 15, 2010

    thats why beyonce is beyonce. you cant even hate her after watching this.

  35. Anne November 15, 2010

    I think she is clearly the best contemporarily, no one else is putting on a world tour with complete shows at her level now-a-days (with strong vocals, high energy, choreography, great songs, & stage presence).

  36. geegley November 15, 2010

    there was a time, during Bday era, I wanted to hate beyonce. i tried so hard. I did hate her. left stupid comments about her but I couldnt keep it. I just couldnt hate her anymore. I was in awe. I blamed her for breakup of DC. i hated her for being everywwhere. i hated her for being so pretty and thought she was fake coz she couldnt be so perfect. I didnt think she was human. I watched her performances and wondered why she was so perfect. my hate turned into a deep love.. non lesbian. Beyonce cannot do no wrong in my eyes now.

  37. TICKLEMOUSE November 15, 2010

    ITS AMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAZZZZZIIIIIIIIING BADEST BADEST OUT THERE NO PASSENGERS ON HER PLANE >EVER! SHE IS FLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIIIIII QUEEEEEEEEEN! GAG

    1. Who cares if she has her own money

    2. Explain to me why she performed at award shows, had a greatest hits album, headlined the music festival in new Orleans right after his death!?

    Her passed few albums flopped, no one went to her last tour that she kept canceling…

    You explain to me what relevant means… Cause relevant isn’t want she is right now…

    Janet is played now…

    Ignorant my ass…

  39. royalkev November 15, 2010

    @ Geegley, just…wow! You know, I think you summed up how 99% of all her haters feel. I knew in my heart that these people never had a valid reason and only remain furious with her because they can’t find the flaws they’re looking for. It’s very personal with Beyonce. I’m glad you made a turn for the better. it shows alot of character, but I think Bey is despised by most for really silly reasons. What’s really the worst part of it all is that she really grown into a mature and kind hearted person. It shows in so many ways.

  40. MISHKA November 15, 2010

    @Geegley

    You were not alone. Actually I couldn’t stand Beyoncé during her Survivor then her Dangerously in Love eras. Letoya was my favorite DC and we had all been told that Beyoncé fired them to have all eyes on her.

    When she came back with B’Day, I started realizing : “hey, the girl wants to be the best, and gives 300% of her time to achieve” 16 grammies don’t come by sleeping all day long, attending all sorts of events, walking on stage or pushing back albums again and again and again. The other girls were slowing her down. In fact, since Bey went on leave, no other girls is taking the spotlight!

    I’ve come to the conclusion that if the other girls in the business were working as hard as she is, they would probably enjoy the same kind of critical and commercial success. Therefore, I bowed to the Queen and I bow to her after every performance. Hard work and dedication pay for anyone who wants to. I respect hard work and dedication. I respect the Queen.

  41. annie! :] November 15, 2010

    i loooove it!!<3 can't wait til 11.30.10! already pre-ordered my copy 😀
    BUT i really wishh they would've shown the full performance instead of the cutbacks to her trips and whatnot… those are cool too but the parts from her performance that were cut out had really good choreo :/ oh well…

  42. royalkev November 15, 2010

    @Robert,
    1. Who cares if she has her own money
    ———————————————————————————————————
    Well, you were making a point about her using her brother. This is significant, because Janet having her own money means that she’s independent.

    2. Explain to me why she performed at award shows, had a greatest hits album, headlined the music festival in new Orleans right after his death!?
    ———————————————————————————————————–
    MJ died in June of ’09, Janet’s Essence tour was in July of this year. She’s still an artist and ofcourse, eventually she would tour and release music after her brother’s passing. She still has to go on with her life.

    Her passed few albums flopped, no one went to her last tour that she kept canceling…
    ——————————————————————————————————————–
    Her night at Essence was the holds the record in attendance, she sold out much faster than Alicia Keys and Mary J Blige(who performed that same weekend the nights after).

    You explain to me what relevant means… Cause relevant isn’t want she is right now…
    ————————————————————————————————————-
    Janet has 2 successful movies and a third one that has Oscar buzz at the box office currently. She is considered a legend and her new music is eagerly anticipated. That certainly makes her relevant. Janet can’t walk the street with her new boyfriend with out the paps snapping pics of her. If she was so washed up, noone would care.

    Janet is played now…
    ———————————-
    Yes, played in millions of homes from people that have her cds.

  43. Spunkypoop November 15, 2010

    FIRST OFF F*** ALL YOU HATING ASS M*********** TALKING S*** ABOUT JANET! i had to come in here to defend my girl. She don’t need no MJ money. She don’t need to do anything!! the b**** is RELEVANT cause you talking about her RIGHT THIS SECOND! You thinking about her RIGHT THIS MOMENT! If you wanna really get rid of her, try not commenting about her and reading up on blogs about her, Ya Stupid ass fools. KEEP her and the JACKSON’s NAMES out ya friggin mouths.. oh and go support FOR COLORED GIRLS and get some education in your boring ass lives. See how this woman is about to OSCAR ya FAV’s!!! hahaha

    But of course ya can’t do that….so thanks for your interest in the QUEEN of POP!

  44. JenJen November 15, 2010

    Hummm yeah,
    OVERALL Beyonce is a FANTASTIC performer!

    But the dancing? Come on Bey, challenge your self with the routines instead of p**** popping and whipping your hair everywhere!

    The black coat was awful that she was wearing too!
    Think it scares her walking down stairs like that after she fell before lol??

  45. Blue Kid November 15, 2010

    Now that talent and showmanship!

  46. akua November 15, 2010

    @ROYALKEV I LUV THE WAY U ANSWERED ROBERT,HE IS JUST BEING STUPID,DONT MIND HIM

  47. royalkev November 15, 2010

    @ Akua, thanks! That Janet using MJ stuff gets under my skin!

  48. True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue November 15, 2010

    Of course she slays, it’s what she does best ;). I would expect nothing less from her.

    @ TheKiddz:

    Thanks, it’s amazing to see how much work & preparation went behind that performance!

  49. nayah82 November 15, 2010

    Queen Bey needs to hurry up and drop another album. I am going through some serious
    withdrawls at the moment. B****** wanted her to take a brake she did, and they still didn’t do s*** with the extra time.

  50. Spunkypoop November 15, 2010

    QUEEEN MADONNA! QUEEEN JANET QUUUEEENN BEY!!! what what !!!>>???

  51. Hush November 15, 2010

    Nobody cares about that f****** Essence Festival gig. All that was was a throwaway corporate event that anybody could have played. When Janet last headlined her own tour, it was an attendance disaster. It had to canceled because of low attendance. That’s embarrassing for an artist of her supposed stature. It’s one thing to have a flop album, but to not have enough public interest to fill seats on a national tour is just bad.

  52. royalkev November 15, 2010

    @ Hush… Nobody cares about the Essence Festival? … 70,000 people don’t sound like nobody to me! The remaining tour dates were cancelled due to Janet’s illness, vertigo.

  53. royalkev November 15, 2010

    * from the Rockwitchu tour

  54. george November 15, 2010

    JANET IS SIMPLY J A N E T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BY FAR THE BEST FOR THE REST……. FROM 1986 CONTROL ALBUM….UNTILL NOW IS LIKE STORM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SILENCE HATERS AND GIVE SOME RESPECT LIKE HER OR NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  55. Hush November 16, 2010

    ” The remaining tour dates were cancelled due to Janet’s illness, vertigo. ”

    LOL, sure man. If believing that tawdry excuse helps ease your hemorrhoids, then have at it. Real talk tho, you and I both know the true reason it was cancelled though, and that it had nothing to do with any “illness.” Beyonce just came off a hundred million dollar grossing roadshow that she didn’t have to cancel to save face for tickets weren’t selling…ooops, I mean because of a hangnail. 😉

  56. royalkev November 16, 2010

    @ Hush, alot of people were given a refund for shows she didn’t play at due to the cancellations. Tickets were selling and the impression that it was a failed tour has absolutely no truth to it, at all. Again 70,000 people brought tickets in a matter of minutes for Janet’s Essence concert. I don’t think the demand is as low as you want to make it. She’s always going to have dedicated fans that follow her. Bey will also! Both of my ladies handle their busy and not too many of anyone’s favs can check them!

  57. TEE November 16, 2010

    LOVE YOU BEY. I can’t wait for the DVD, I already pre-ordered mine from amazon.com.

  58. Beystanbish November 16, 2010

    Man im so over Beyonce and that flea ridden bath rug she wears on her head…

  63. X,Y,”and Z” November 16, 2010

    Dear fans of Janet Jackson,

    No one buys that her most recent concert tour was called off due to her being ill. Swallow your foolish pride, man/woman-up, accept and admit that the excursion itself was “ill”-fated.

    Thanks.

    X,Y,”and Z” — OUT!!!
