As earlier reported, Pop titan Janet Jackson kicked off her ‘Number Ones: Up, Close, & Personal Tour’ in the Philippines yesterday.
While official footage has yet to be released, fan clips have surfaced – as have more pics from the sold out show.
Check out the action after the jump…
Roll on June for the London dates!
Janet and Britney will share the award for “Lipsyncing artist of the century”.
Quit acting like this flop tour (with that tiny little cheap looking stage) is news. Janet is just a washed up pop star from the 80s who hasn’t had a real hit in years, can’t sell a record or a ticket and needs to fill out an application for Walmart. She may as well sing (excuse me, I mean LIP SYNC….since that’s all she knows how to do) “Thriller”. Maybe she’d sell more tickets.
loved every bit of it
ya’ll shut the f*** up how old are ya’ll 16 ? ya’ll talking bout janet jackson …the woman was and is a movement …she has her own time period…only the best have their own time period ..only they can make such a huge effect and still be here after so long…so a lil bit more respect to janet ! i like this concert its old skool..like back in the days…up close and personal…
ICON.

AFTER READING THE HATE COMMENTS.. I STILL WANNA KNOW>>> WHY U MAD THO??
Janet’s in the LEGENDARY LANE!!!
Haters FALL BACK!!!
***GOOD MORINING JANET JACKSON FANS*** loves it! Thanks Sam for posting.
What!!!!!! its Janet mimiing again?, she never lets us down hahahaha
Shes taking the p*** out of those people who paid their hard earned cash to see her. sorry, but thats really poor.
yes i really wanna know why yall pressed did she murder a family member or what?…….
I wish that damn @ TaylorThing will go the f*** away!!!! I think she’s really that rapper Khia!
DEAD at this Taylor Swift fan just popping up in Janet topics all the time. Pathetic.
No, i comment on most blogs!!! and hell no im not going away, also taylors song back to december is climing the singles chart, number 18 people.go check the song out!!
You can also check out her singing it live, yes!! thats something you wont get with janet.
All you can insult Taylor, but she does something singer should do.. sing live.
That is all.
Taylor swift should be the one lip synching, that b**** sounds like she has had a dose of helium. I’d be threatened too if Janet is outdoing your favs at 44.
Legend! Period! She’s on point… the 2nd clip clearly shows you that she still can go in and out of choreography with ease. She’s hitting every step hard and she’s still doing it with grace. Most people that are hating are mad because she’s still executing the moves and giving a great show! It’s so pathetic that a lot of her peers (in the same lane as her) could never give you this kind of energy in their own show. You guys have some artist skipping on stage with all kinds of blatant laziness going on and act like it’s epic! Young and hella old! Janet is still in her prime! On top of that she’s switching things up from show to show – so there’s more to come. Mad again right?

***THANK-YOU-&-THAT-WILL-BE-ALL***
You young folks who know deadly squat about music. If it wasn’t for the road Janet paved your favorite artist wouldn’t exsist. Janet has sold more albums, had more #1 singles and albums and after 28 yrs in the business is still breaking concert records. So when those little dumb b****** you guys idolize live up to that Iconic caliber then and only then can you comment negativily about Miss Jackson.
britney outsells this old h**
MJ was doing the damn thing in the “This Is It” documentary and at the age of 50.
Janet is 44, very stiff and rusty.
dam janet still got she slayed and she looks amazing
Proof that Janet is singing is that she is not moving around dancing a whole lot. She’s wearing 7 inch stilettos…Love ya Janet oh and heres a really good article on TAYLOR SWIFT…

Yaaaaas Janet
Living Legend right here!!!
These young kidz don’t even know what they are talking about they need me to read them some history on who this legendary women is.
F*** TAYLOR’S COUNTRY ASS LOLOLOL
Love people talking about taylor.. I think this website should have a blog about taylor swift in the next week? So sam what you think? Hahahhahaha
SHE WAS THE BOMB LAST NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT NIGHT ..THANK YOU J A N E T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ Taylor Swift I feel sorry for all the people that actually paid their hard earned Money to see this S***…THis reminds me of high school gym class when we had to choreograph a dance and perform it…you know this tour cost minimal money to Produce…SMH..
and the shade is that the main fans defending her are the ones she’s robbing by this poor performing! HA
ok so i really don’t understand why the haters are complaining!! Honestly I DON’T UNDERSTAND!!!!! ?????? I loved watching those clips of the concert. It looked really fun and exciting. No one waisted their money rt! I guess that’s why people are called HATERS!
JANET is still bad n she know it too. WORK IT GIIIRL!!! LOVE YOU JANET <3 😀
ICON+LEGEND=JANET DAMITA JO JACKSON FOREVER
Janet Jackson!!!! Kills it once again!!! No one younger than her can do what she can do. To those who saying Janet Jackson lip syncs need to realize that Michael Jackson did as well so if you’re dissing Janet, you’re also dissing Michael Jackson which will pretty much ostracize your comment. Other than that it looks like an amazing show!
*Who’s mad?*
@kelzrowland Yeah the sets, look very cheap, i cant see where all the money they’ve made, from the tickets sales has gone into the set to make it look amazing.. it looks very bare and pain. The ticket prices were a joke. Who pays money to see someone mime? I mean, shes taking the p*** out of people, people work very hard for the money and she repays them by miming?
Im gonna name janet……Janet the puppet, beause like puppets, no voice comes out their mouth!!!
Her mouth*
Janet is not a legend and didn’t pave any roads for anyone. Janet was/is a Michael copycat/clone, so any territory she “charted” was actually charted by him. And don’t pull that “young” card with me. I was in elementary school when CONTROL hit, I remember every phase of her commercial career. Hell, I remember when she was on FAME. She’s NEVER impressed me.
LIKE JILL SCOTT SAID HATE ON HATER ……..I CAN’T WAIT FOR JANET TO COME TO L.A…………;-D
It’s this simple, if u don’t like Janet leave the f*cking board and don’t comment. Yall young @ss kids need to educate yourselves because u sit on ignorance and know nothing about REAL artist that actually have talent that have worked to be where they are and who they are. LONG before Beyonce, Rihanna, Britney, Lady Gaga etc. there was Janet, Mariah, Whitney, who have all managed to be successful artist in an era when folk actually had to be talented to be successful. Unlike today’s music which is nothing more than a catchy hook and heavy beats. Ignorance is bliss.
@ Taylor and Rowland did Janet Jackson f*** your husbands/boyfriends/wives/girlfriends or something. I respect you alls opinion 100 comments ago, but now you all are looking ridiculous. If your not paying your hard earn cash to see her then hop off of JANET’S D*** D-A-M-N!

LMAO! Are you serious? Janet came up during the era of 80s/90s MTV, where you just had to be photogenic and have a good director. Please. Don’t act like things were vastly different in 1987 than they are today. Janet is a studio singer who used a bunch of smoke & mirrors, the machine that was the “Jackson” name, and Jam/Lewis production to get on.
Don’t act like this woman is Ella Fitzgerald, Pearl Bailey or Lena Horne. Her talent is questionable, and in her prime she was every bit as manufactured as Britney.
X, Y, Z – OUT!
@estarr
If that was the case that Michael made her “chart” then what about the rest of his siblings that had material out as well? Also why fo she have more number 1’s than him? These questions are coming from a Michael Jackson fan just to let you know.
LMFAO!!!!
Did Janitor sell out her schoolyards yet?
I swear da best thing she should done iz have a kid and call it ad ay! Nextz.
~~
Support Ms Kelly!
The QUEEN of DANCERNB. 2011: MAKE BELIEVE
KELENDRIA ROWLAND
When was Kelly’s original release date and when is her current release date?
Any who, Janet was amazing. All these comments that spew hate won’t take away the fact that her tour is a success and it has buzz.
@ KEN KEN …YOU ARE RIGHT ON THE MONEY WITH THAT ONE @ X,Y,Z …YES PLEASE BE OUT…………@KELENDRIA…..U SO STUPID AHHA ..I LOVE MS KELLY ROWLAND BUT SHE WOULD BE LUCKY TO SELLOUT ANYTHING WITHOUT DC…………….CANNOT WAIT TO SEE JANET ;-D
@ pleasure Michael Jackson only lip sycnched during live televised shows. Its not hating if you are stating observations…Britney can slay Janet heavily medicated..what is she slaing?..Have you watched Ms.Turner throw down? Have you watched Beyonce?
WHy do Janet stans have so many excuses?
@ Estar
EXACTLY !! (high 5’s)
Who di she pave the way for?..Everyone that has come after her has outsold her double and triple..
and she only had a hit when Mihael was in a bunch of controversy…FACT….and she mirrored Madonna’s style and copied Michael’s moves..SMH..
***I VOMIT S*** ON ALL U CLOSETED JANET LOVERS***
She is truly awful. She’s never done an original thing in her life, and these tours are just rehash of what she did before. She also has no sense of style, and can’t sing for jack! She’s an old has-been and needs to sit her old ass down!

@ X, Y and DUMBASS Z…..FIRST, Janet never rode the success of the Jackson’s at all. Once again, u are one of the one’s that are ignorant. She NEVER wanted to be a singer, in fact, she wanted to become a lawyer. Her father was the one who pushed her into a singing career, hence the reason she fired him much earlier in her music career. Hence her breakout hit CONTROL. Secondly, yes u did have to be talented in the 80s and 90s to be successful. Unlike, today where u can get by with auto-tuned sound and cookie cutter singles that only last a couple months and then they are outdated. Proof of 80s and 90s music being much better today can be seen by many artist that were out back then. Most of their songs are classic now and CANNOT be rivaled by any of this mess out now AND the people STILL enjoy the old songs. THIRDLY, do u know the pressure of being successful when your brother is MICHAEL JACKSON? This further proves Janet’s talent. NOONE can rival MJ and the mere fact that Janet established herself and a career after her brothers success further proves her talent. So stfu cuz u sound ignorant, give me facts and NOT opinion.
@kenken you are DELUSIONAL to say Janet never used the Jackson name to become successful!
Her first 2 albums flopped harder than C-errors last CD and she only achieved success after she copied Michaels black buckled outfits and long hair and stage presence/ moves.
@KELZROWLAND …..NOW YOU REALLY SOUND RETARTED… NOT THAT YOU DIDNT SOUND LIKE THAT BEFORE…..I ALMOST FEEL BAD FOR RESPONDING TO YOU…SEEING NOW THAT YOU CLEARLY DO HAVE MENTAL ISSUIES
Regardless of what these haters say about Janet, none of them can bring the same amount of happiness I have had during the concert. It was ultimate!!!
Damita Jokes..let me know when Janet sells 50,000 total tickets…lets count total seats sold instead of these, ” If you multiply times 3 it equals…” bull-ish.
@ Dimples.hop off my nutts
A Taylor Swift fan does not have the right to talk about performance. Period. Since lip singing is your favorite topic well your idol who only knows to stand with a guitar on stage and clap her hands and act like a teeny bopper in love in a whimsical world just had a lip singing disaster in my city where she performed. She can fool the fans who are far from the stage but all those in the pit area were shocked to witness how she tried to compose herself praying people didn’t know or notice…yeah talk about lip singing. And that’s even worse coz why lip sing when you are not doing a dance breakdown on stage and was only standing on the stage with a guitar??? That’s a no. no for me. If only my niece didn’t won that VIP ticket and needed me to accompany her I wouldn’t waste my time watching a concert where high schoolers shrieks and wastes their damn hard earned parents money. You still got a long way to go hunny to put Taylor on a pedestal where the living icons and legends of today stand such as Janet. Come back here after 40 years and let’s see if Taylor is still news and if people as young as 4 years old knows her name. LOL! The Jacksons are music royalties, so instead of hating sit down and just listen to the heartbroken songs your idol loves to produce and hopefully she’ll deliver a real badass performance before the end of the world.
