Hot Shots: Janet Jackson Sports New Do’ In LA

Published: Friday 2nd Sep 2011 by Sam

Despite setting sail way back in February, Janet Jackson‘s ‘Number Ones: Up, Close, & Personal Tour’ continues to blaze on.

A box-office hit, the trek’s latest stop was Los Angeles’ Greek Theater last night, where she debuted a new longer locks.

She looks great, so on and so forth, but is anyone else ready for some new music? Call us selfish, as we’ve seen this show already, but at 45 time, the body, and today’s audience wait for no one. As such, there’s only so long talk of a Janet comeback can actually have a chance of happening. I mean, her show was the business, but the one resounding critique was that it felt like an 80’s/90’s revival tour.

What’s more she is capable of hanging in the contemporary arena when she wants to (see: ‘Feedback’, ‘Rock With U’, ‘LUV’). Needless to say, calls to Darkchild, Jimmy Jam, and Terry Lewis are imperative. Stat.

  3. Alex September 2, 2011

    Ok so you saw the show already and? This tour is going to be her longest tour so complaining ain’t going to do s***. She is going to Austrailia and South Africia and she still has to go to Japan and south America. Who the hell are you to tell her she needs to stop touring? And as for your calling her tour a 80’s and 90’s revival NO S***!! Dumb ass it’s a greatest hits tour. Can you be more clueless.

    Janet can do no wrong. Ladies, this is how you wear a weave!!! janet still got it. I agree, i want some new music. its love overdo Janet!!! She still has time, Sade made a comeback after 10 years, and she’s over 50.

  8. nice_gurl September 2, 2011

    She looks amazing, glowing and I love the hair.

  9. Misfit September 2, 2011

    @ Alex
    Co-sign!!!

    Also, she is touring to remind people ww why they love her. Her last couple of record company’s did no promo ww for her last 3 albums.

    Janet is doing the right thing, letting folk know she still has the it factor. So when her next project drops, it will smash.

    She is a smart, s***, and bad b****! Get ’em J!!!

  10. Thedimplepuppet September 2, 2011

    Janet just completed her 67th show & yes she still have more to go N Australia, South Africa & South America… I’m waiting for new music too, no a CLASSIC album with substance. She’s still gorgeous & your not even slick Sam for posting a Janet & Madonn post together lmao.

  11. SHESDUMB (GAGA,JANET, AND PRINCE STAN) 19/F/FL September 2, 2011

    I IWSH SHE WOULD HAVE HAD LONG HAIR LIKE THIS IN HER BLACKGAMA PHOTOSHOOT BECAUSE IT LOOKS SO NICE! GO QUEEN JANET!

  12. jmoore September 2, 2011

    I am waiting for some new music…I agree, Jimmy, Terry, Rodney and Rocwilder….lets go miss jackson!

  13. VFB September 2, 2011

    THE BADDEST B**** ON THE PLANET, ENOUGH SAID!

  14. B Lamont September 2, 2011

    Ms Janet doing the damn thing as usual. In any case, this hairstyle isn’t new. She’s been rockin it since the 2nd US leg kicked off back in July. But in any case, she has said numerous times that she plans to go in the studio at the end of the year. So new music is coming.

  15. sugarwall September 2, 2011

    Some people like janet are weird!
    they would cut their hair so short only to wear wigs and weaves!

  16. MRB September 2, 2011

    THIS IS WHAT AN ICON LOOKS LIKE!!! NOTICE THE HAIR AND MAKE UP IS ALWAYYYYYYYYYSSSSSS ON POINT!!!!!!!! SMH ITS JUST SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  17. antertain September 2, 2011

    She don’t need no more albums.
    People would expect to much of her in terms of sales and she more than MADE IT in her career.

    80/90’s was her peak era so on tour she gotta show off that body of work that propelled her to SUPER-STARDOM.

    Think she could record some new material too add her performances but not necessarily a whole album.

    SHE TOO DAMN HOT! LOOKS GREAT

  18. DaHotNig September 2, 2011

    I am a HUGE Janet fan! I want her on a diet and I don’t want her wearing ANY chokers until she does so. She looks good but I want that JAW-DROPPING Janet experience I usually have. She needs to change that f***** outfit too.

  19. JacquesDaKing September 2, 2011

    That’s my lady love her

  20. ㄕѺㄕ 尺Ѻㄚムしイㄚ ( 尺ŲÐ乇 乃Ѻㄚ ) September 2, 2011

    WHAT I’ M GOING TO SAY WON’T BE NICE ! SO I WON’T SAY ANYTHING ………….

    she’s a pop icon anyway !

  21. black cat September 2, 2011

    Yesss Ms Janet Jackson! A legend from the same tree and the FIERCEST of them all.
    http://youtu.be/PddjtDddKCo Ms Janet speaking the truth plus she’s soo humble and funny too 🙂
    SN: Those boots are the business!

  22. THEMAN September 2, 2011

    She looks awesome. What a beauty.

  23. BREEZYTHEBEST( AKA CHRIS IS KING) September 2, 2011

    She has been there and did that Janet was queen of the wet&wavy.

  24. Keith September 2, 2011

    Was at the show last night and Janet was amazing! I agree with those that say this tour is to re-establish her brand. Anyone who saw last night’s show would agree that she DEFINITELY shows the young ones how its done…after 30 years.

    As this was my third show this tour, I expected to be a little bored but NOPE…that show never gets old. And the tons of you tube videos really don’t do the performance justice.

  25. TWITTER.COM/ESSENCE_OF_SEAN September 2, 2011

    WELL IT’S CALLED “NUMBER ONES” WORLD TOUR! CAUSE OF HER GREATEST HITS BACK IN 2009! SO YEAH IT’S GONNA SOUND 80/90/00S!

  26. I’ma have to send her back to her maker September 2, 2011

    That’s the money shot rite there.

  27. Misfit September 2, 2011

    @ Blackcat

    Thanks for the link! Love it! 🙂

  28. Misfit September 2, 2011

    @ the boy with the f***** up grill

    Um yeah….

  29. SHESDUMB (GAGA,JANET, AND PRINCE STAN) 19/F/FL September 2, 2011

    JANET IS AN ICON, F*** SALES!
    EVEN IF SHE SALES 1K IN THE FIRST WEEK IMMA STILL STAN AND SLAY FOR HER!
    I HOPE SHE COMES OUT WITH ANOTHER ALBUM.

  30. onyx September 2, 2011

    I love you Janet

  31. ㄕѺㄕ 尺Ѻㄚムしイㄚ ( 尺ŲÐ乇 乃Ѻㄚ ) September 2, 2011

    the problem i’ having with janet is :
    she don’t know how great she is ! she need to comeback harder ! like when a legend comeback ! she need to focus on making NEW good songs !

    and i have seen her lookin’ better than that ! but she looks good/okaaay in those pic ! bad angle i guess …… !

    can janet comeback hard ?! i can’t wait to see that . she got the talent ‘ dancing + decent voice” after all !

  32. bips September 2, 2011

    @pop royalty amen!!!!!:-)

  33. black cat September 2, 2011

    @Misfit 😉 you’re welcome
    @Pop Royalty Legends don’t need to prove themselves plus she’s been busy touring and serving that tea to her fans worldwide. Hopefully we can all have a sip of it
    *giggles in Janet’s voice*

  34. Misfit September 2, 2011

    I find it when anyone can criticize Janet’s looks. Lmao!! She looks better that any other broad that has been in the business as long as her! #FACT

    She not only out shines her contemporaries in the looks department, but most of these young chicks out now!

    No matter what angle, she looks gorgeous!!

    Get it right and keep it cute!!

    God knows I’m trying to do the same!

    @ Black Cat

    🙂

  35. Misfit September 2, 2011

    * I find it funny

  36. jeneration September 2, 2011

    I Love Janet Jackson! She looks amazing too (always a pleasure to watch her) 🙂

  37. ㄕѺㄕ 尺Ѻㄚムしイㄚ ( 尺ŲÐ乇 乃Ѻㄚ ) September 2, 2011

    @misfit :

    no need for that “stan” attitude ! i didn’t anything wrong ! i didn’t see that i shaded her ! and my first coment was directed towards “sam” cuz this is for sure not a new hair-do for someone like J ! i was that close to drag his ass ! but i didn’t ! so u got the situation wrong !

    i never liked her before ! but now i do And i believe she’s UNDERRATED as well !

    and plz ! no one stays young forever ! it’s life ! but i will admit she looks ok/cool considering her age ! 7/10 from me !

    i won’t compare her to young artists ! that will be foolishness.net !

    but don’t give me that stan attitude again ! i like her now ! end of !

    @black cat :

    i didn’t say anything about janet needed to prove herself ….. ! i said she need to give her fans new stuffs ! new music , new sound , etc……. ! songs like “make me ” prove she still has “IT” and can slay effortlessly !

    #bye !

  38. JERMAINE September 2, 2011

    @POPROYALTY

    Just SHUT UP… It’s clear you are tryn to throw shade. But the chick you have as your advatar is into “BEASTIALITY”…. HELL SHE PREGNANT WITH A CAAMEL.LOL

  39. Misfit September 2, 2011

    @ Pop

    Get a clue! I will give whatever attitude I want!! You will deal!! You say you like her now, but everytime you give compliments, you still shade her!

    You are so full of s***, you should live in an outhouse! Don’t even with me! Look over your words and see what you do!

    She looks great, and better than most chicks in the business! So keep shading her, but when you look in the mirror at your snaggle teeth, remember you should not even think to come for anyones looks!

    She has nothing to prove to you or anyone, she already has proven herself. She is a legend. The end of!!

    Like I said keep it cute, and I will, but you are throwing serious shade, and you will get a response….

  40. Misfit September 2, 2011

    @ Pop

    Don’t Stan attitude me! You are the one who is stanning! You mad cause people were talking about Madonna’s looks in her post!

    I said I had nothing to say about her looks, because people were being shady! Even if I dont like how she looks, I keep it cute!

    She is a legend, and I have to respect!! I love Madonna, and Janet! If you notice, I did not shade her, others did. So dont come here to shade, I didn’t go there with Madonna, and I never would!

    That’s what you do when you “like” someone, or at least respect them!

  41. Misfit September 2, 2011

    @ Pop

    I would like to be on better terms with you, but you make it hard! You are insulting to often with those that don’t deserve it.

    I’m still upset about the incident with @YeaBey, and how disrespectful, you were to myself and others.

    If it’s gonna end, then we have to say what we gotta say, without trying, to push each others buttons.

    I’m willing if you are, if not, we will be on the same bad terms, we have been on, for a long minute…

  42. Misfit September 2, 2011

    @ Jermaine

    I feel you cause I saw the shade to Janet too! But, even if u don’t like Bey(who I love), then @ least respect she does her thing, and jokes about peoples children, are outta bounds IMO.

    You of course can obviously, do what you want. I just wanted to give my opinion on it….

  43. Misfit September 2, 2011

    @ Pop

    Just look over your comments so you can see what the problem is. Even your last statement to @Blackcat. You said you never said Janet had anything to prove, but then you say she does!!! Your words:

    @black cat :

    i didn’t say anything about janet needed to prove herself ….. ! i said she need to give her fans new stuffs ! new music , new sound , etc……. ! songs like “make me ” prove she still has “IT” and can slay effortlessly !

    #bye !
    ——–
    Not trying to shade you! Just want you to see how
    you come off and the shade myself, @ Blackcat, and @ Jermaine, are talking about. Think about it…

    Jan’s already proved she has “IT”, look at the fan, and critic reviews of her current tour, and the fact most of the shows are sold out!!

    In big cities like, multiple nights, still sold out! Respect!

  44. Thedimplepuppet September 3, 2011

    Correction from this footage Janet said this was her 71st show I guess she included her private gigs in between as well which I thought were only two which would put her @ 69 lol. Janet is so sneaky & private & that’s why I love her lol. Here is amazing footage from the Greek N LA —> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DHAqJTxIxQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player

  45. Sheltop September 3, 2011

    love her.. i would love new music too but i can wait cause i know the next time she get’s in that studio she’s gonna give up another CLASSIC. Janet has been having to many life experiences, from death, to break ups, to weight gains and losses, new happiness in life.. this album i feel is gonna be very personal. AND SHE’ WRITTING HER OWN MUSIC AGAIN!! momma always said, “good things come to those who wait”

  46. glamgyrl September 5, 2011

    Janet is glowing as usual. She has great stage presence and can dance much better than all other so-called artists put together!! I would be ecstatic if Janet released a new album that gets her back to the sound of her ‘Janet’ album or even her earlier work. However, it’s great to just see her performing, especially because she truly seems more happy and at ease than ever before! She really deserves great acting roles too because she is a better actress than all the female singers who’ve crossed over into films/tv.

  47. lol September 5, 2011

    Hang it up – FLATSCREEN!

  48. @tsairox September 5, 2011

    I really wonder what songs lie in her vault. You know she has recorded a ton of music that is unreleased! Plus I would love to see her sit down with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis as the executive producers of whatever project she puts together next and really write. Sneak in those B-sides again too! I love everything she’s done, but Jam and Lewis will give it the ultimate “Janet” stamp. The remixes will be killer too! That’s when to bring in the hottest current djs and producers of today. I would also like to see Janet in some type of super hero role as well as something classic in movies while she is still vibrant enough to do it.

    She needs to keep her next project in line with this tour and do an intimate release on the internet before the project drops. Speak to the people a little more directly first and then “Smash” the charts again! Remember Tina Turner’s biggest sales and tours happened after she was 43! Janet still has it and time is on her side. All the best Janet!
