In recent years, many a diva has ventured to Las Vegas. And with good reason.
Once billed as a museum of ageing acts, Sin City is now emerging as a means of reviving careers. Just ask Britney Spears, who despite tanking with her most recent album has carved out a new success narrative with her ‘Piece of Me’ show which is now its second year.
With Mariah Carey now in the mix, it’s little surprise then that other iconic names such as Janet Jackson and Jennifer Lopez are believed to want a piece of the pie ahead of planned comebacks.
However, if new reports prove true, the ladies Vegas plans are heading in two different directions.
Full story below…
According to the Las Vegas Sun, plans for a Janet run of shows at the Venetian “have fallen through for the moment as she turned down what was labeled the final financial offer”. Translation? The money wasn’t right.
J.Lo, on the other hand, appears to be ready, set, go.
The same source wrote elsewhere:
“Set for a mid-May announcement is Jennifer Lopez’s headlining run at Axis, which has been anticipated with great zeal ever since her knockout performance at the Colosseum on New Year’s Eve.
J.Lo’s thunderous party production is a far better fit at Axis, where Britney Spears has essentially turned the 4,000-seat venue into a nightclub experience with “Britney: Piece of Me,” than the more regal Colosseum. J.Lo would fill the dates left open when Spears is off (resting her voice, natch), giving Axis a pair of hot artists toggling the theater schedule.
However this ends up playing out, both ladies are bonafide stage blazers and will no doubt continue to thrill audiences wherever they perform.
Some of today’s top talent would be smart to hone their craft in the way Janet and J.Lo have, so as to even have the option of such gigs 20/30 years into their career.

Good thing for janet. No Vegas.
Janets music career is over
And that’s why she continues to get lucrative offers left and right..
Isn’t it time for you to get to work and turn on the fryers @ Popeye’s?
Please hurry. I will be in at noon for your namesake, a ‘Po Boy sandwich.
Now shoo…
#BeatItBitch
J H** started as a dancer for Janet and honestly she’s a worst singer than Britney
Just like your life
Vegas is know for talent, Jennifer Lopez only talent is laying on her BACk And dancing
I don’t think that is fair. JLo is a really good entertainer. Come on now.
i was hoping that Janet wouldn’t do this! I’m happy!
Janet knows her worth. If the money is funny keep moving.
Good for JLo tho. I guess she got what she wanted from the deal..
she always gets what she wants . the queen of them, all
JLo is the Queen mogul of them all. She managed to forge a viable brand, other than music.
Janet is the Queen of the stage, and her catalog of music is leaps and bounds ahead of the others so..
I just think it’s funny because J.Lo used to be Janet’s back-up dancer and she’s become so successful with little singing ability. Dat bish does know how to pop-lock-and-drop-it though.
Most dancers aren’t church singers though
MJ, JJ, Madonna, jlo, Ciara
Did u just put Cflop and jflop.in the same boat as MJ.janet amd madge b**** please sit down
Oh so this gig is for picking up the dates Britney is resting her voice!!
Yeah, Janet wasn’t gonna go on as supplement to an understudy, good that job went to another understudy.
No shade, all tea…
^Lol. I have no words…
Just keeping it real. That’s like Janet being an opening act for Paula Abdul.
You would sooner see pigs fly…
-_-
Yup, no lies told babe!
OOOOP! you told no lies tho,
“Resting her voice”. I can’t even find words.
jlo wouldn’t have time for more anyway, she’s filming a movie and a new TV shows the next few months, I don’t even get when she’ll do it.
I didn’t think Vegas was getting Janet! I doubt she’ll be out there anytime soon! I wish Jenny was heading out there in the summer though, there’s no way I’ll be in Vegas by May. 🙁
She could headline her own world tour and make all the money she wants as she’s done several times before.I don’t care if i’m being selfish here,i know she’s happy and all that but the honeymoon is over.7yrs and counting is damn too long to be waiting for an album from THE greatest female artist out there.It’s even worse that i know for a fact Janet can bust every single move she did 2 decades ago and not miss a beat..DAMN,WHERE IS THIS WOMAN????????????
Girl I hear you! Her last tour earned over 60 million as per pollstar. And was done in small venues.
She could still be a viable touring act and put out successful material.
I can’t blame her if she never comes out with ish again tho.
The way she has been maligned by the media and powers that be.. I wouldn’t blame her…
Ugh,f*** the Media…She didn’t need their help to gross over $60 million with her last tour and she sure doesn’t need their help now…WE as her fans who’ve loved her all these years and will continue loving her for many years to come deserve and are entitled to new music/new tour/new everything from her.Surely,that stupid issue from 2004 couldn’t have killed her passion
Preach Doss!
Wissam need to let her come up for air and give us our 2 years! She’ll get right back after she’s done! Don’t get me worked up with this woman this morning, I should be on my way to work now!
T.I.T.S
We are so right here! *moves fingers to express that we’re seeing eye to eye* … I need a real tour from Jan! She owe us!
Later guys! <3
Later Kev <3
Later Bro…Oh,btw the next time Jan goes on tour,i’m taking you with me 😎
That sooooo sounds like a plan! I’m down!
congrats JLO . u r the queen of the stage , kill them mama
JLo is a queen of the stage. THE Queen turned down, what JLo accepted…
Yawn two flops! Ain’t nobody got time for that
Don’t do too much bish!
Those ‘flops’ could buy and sell your fave! And have both had successful careers for over 2 decades.
Come back when your fave got their stacks or longevity..
#WaitYourTurn
Sorry b**** but who is you? Why you in my reply box? Not my fault that Janet is a flop and can’t stay on the charts now stay in your lane before I drag you for filth
@Minajesty
Who am I? I’m your leader HO! Let’s get it right!
If Janet is a flop your fave is dead and buried.
Janet has sold more, is worth more, and went way longer earning platinum, before being able to push gold!
Now drag your ass to iTunes and push that bishes album to platinum(yeah right).
And go to her clown college 15 performers on stage, to sell tickets minstrel show to get some kinda coins in her pocket!
Janet Jackson is superior to your fave in every way.
Now make like your fave and get a job at Red Lobster…
At least you would find your life’s ambition.
#ByeSilicone
#CheckYourNeckHo
And pretty soon Nicki Minaj will be a flop too oh wait she already is,Janet and Jennifer will always be superior to her anyways.
A nicki minaj fan calling someone a flop? Lmao oh the irony…
SMART move, Janet. Miss Jackson is no fool. She.knows that Vegas will always be known as HasBeen City. Besides, this only means that she’s gearing up for her return and Vegas isn’t part of the plan. Rumor has it that she’s putting together her own tour.
Janet is paying it!! I love it…
I don’t think Janet is interested in making music anymore, let alone a Vegas residency, i don’t blame her, the music industry is at its lowest point, the situation is so bad that releasing an album has become a risk for almost every artist because it could be a huge commercial disaster like the artist in question has never experienced, promo does not guarantee that an album is gonna sell, it’s a sad period for mainstream acts, especially for artist like Janet who has been successful for such a long time see her album sales get lower with each new released, look at the most recent examples, Celine, Mariah and Madonna, she might want to avoid the embarrassment and criticism as if it is the artist’s fault if they don’t sell as they used to. As for J.Lo she loves money, she’s a mogul, this is what they do, deals, money etc….Both Janet an J.Lo are goddesses of the stage.
I can’t believe I agree with you
I didn’t think Janet would accept the Vegas deal, but I was hoping she would & that’s only bc that would mean a new album would follow. Still, I’m crossing my fingers that we get a new album and tour.

As for JLO, I think I’m going to see JLO in Vegas. It depends on the price of the ticket.
Seems to me that they courted Janet with offers and she turned them all down, this is just the latest no from Janet. I don’t believe it would have mattered what she was offered, everyone knows she’s been offered American Idol money, turned that down, X Factor money, turned that down and now Vegas Residency money that was apparently turned down more than once. What works for Britney and J lo clearly doesn’t work for her. Janet is probably still spending her Good Times money; she won’t be swayed by new money.
^^ LOL my boo T.I.T.S. better read those b******
<3
a long run Vegas Residency is for washed up has beens…
Good!!!!! Ya’ll through yet????…..Janet Jackson ain’t got N/A time for the kid games. The music industry is sooooo fake now. She don’t need that kind of pressure from losers who have null and void in their lives talking about sales instead of actual music. She really love music it’s in her blood that competition status quo high school drama is disrespecting and that needs to go right out the door. Everybody knows Janet is an ICON and started this movement. JLO needs to thank her lucky stars. Janet is a true star who open doors. Peace Out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First of all, I didn’t grow up on Janet but I got into her a few years ago and haven’t looked back since! It’s so crazy how someone from a different/younger generation like me had to do EXTENSIVE research on how she’s impacted Pop music because unlike other legends, the media maligned her so much to the point that it seems like they want to erase her legacy. However, that ain’t happening any time soon so long as artists who are inspired by her such as Jennifer, Bey, JT, Usher, Ciara, Tinashe etc. exist. I’d love for her to come back – even if it means just one last time. Oh and I can’t believe the excerpt in this post is quoted as saying, “Britney Spears is resting her voice.” Um, what voice? Do they mean that computer-generated mess? Britney hasn’t sang live in YEARS and I’m sure she’s been caught in more than a few lip sync fails on her Vegas Residency. Anyway, good luck to Janet and Jenny with their upcoming endeavours.
It’s nice to see some of the kids appreciate the Legends!
Very sweet what you wrote.
Good for Janet Jackson and I don’t blame her for it also great for J.Lo
