Janet Jackson‘s ‘Unbreakable World Tour’ is the gift that keeps on giving.
Before sending its supporting album into iTunes albums chart’s Top 10 the live show handed fans a performance of the icon’s 1989 hit single ‘Escapade.’
Those familiar with the original choreography designed to support the song will be pleased to learn that Jackson has freshened things up with new moves and brought on a dynamic pair of dancers who weren’t even born when the number first rocked the charts!
Sound exciting?
Check it out below…
We’re loving Janet’s family friendly new vibe!
For, there’s no denying that her raunchier antics of yesteryear did little to help solve problems caused by SuperBowl-gate and the albums (20 Y.O. & Discipline) that failed to rock the general public’s world.
Here’s hoping Madonna and Mariah Carey watch and learn from her as they continue to find their footing in a changing industry which isn’t interested in its icons sexing things up for attention.

Cute..but is it me or was that audience a little less packed then expected?
Yes it was… It looks like Janet has trouble selling out the arenas, yet again 🙁
She is having no problem selling at all. Don’t try it
Janet would promote tour as crazy if she had problem with sales. According to Live Nation 88% was sold out in first two days. It’s easy to check. Visit Ticketmaster website and you’ll see she’s actually doing much better than Madonna.
It’s been dat way post 01. This isn’t a MJ, Rihanna, or Madonna tour. 🙂
“Gift that keeps on giving” – YES, and she does it thru MUSIC! No inflated b*** cheeks, panties, cleavage falling out – it’s all about music with Janet.
YAWN @ dat Madonna shade. Janet has been showing skin since I waz born in 1990. She only stopped NOW bc ha husband mite b divorcing ha no child bearing ass and she’s trying 2 keep him (his fortune) bc she ha career hasn’t been steady since 01. The reason I can tell y the rumors have a strong possibility of being tru iz bc n 2011, she went on ha flop Number 1s tour wearing outfits dat exposed cleavage of ha implants and she was supposedly married @ da time, so I wonder wat is so different now dat she is 5 years n with divorce rumors swirling? ☕☕☕☕☕
Oh shut the f*** up if anybodys divorceing anybody she will be divorcing his ass after all he did fire a woman whom was r**** in his family’s company. A r*** he orchestrated so shut up b**** and he’s not a billionaire and I doubt she wants kids with his ass so next.
Wtf are you talking about? He didn’t orchestrate anything. The woman was r**** in Dubai by another coworker. It’s actually illegal to get r*** under UAE laws! She was told not to tell the authorities so she wouldn’t get jailed, but she did. That’s when she got fired. Y’all need to read.
You are definitely a little Immature child that knows nothing about Janet because if you knew about her you’d know that Janet started her career covered up during the Control and Rhythm Nation eras she was covered from head to toe… In 1990 if you can see her Rhythm Nation Tour the best selling DEBUT Tour of all time by any artist male or female she did the whole show without showing her skin… The funny thing is that I am as old as you also born in 1990 and still know all of this… only shows I actually know my music and how it all started…. Now have yourself a worldwide tour of seats because that would be the only thing to keep you busy from being a hatter! #AndIThankYou
Yaaaasss!! You served that tired troll.
Funny how u purposely used da tour n order 2 avoid da truth. I said she has been showing skin since 1990 the year I waz born n ha w**** a** has been! Don’t try to beat around da bush & get a few +1 & think suddenly u dragged, bc b**** dis still exists

Yes! “Come on, baby. Let’s get away. We’ll save our troubles for another day.” Slay me, queen! I love it when she adds her iconic medleys to her setlists. The best medley and stage design combination was hands down the All for You Tour. She had the stage looking like the Little Mermaid came to life all while serving live vocals amidst running around and dancing. I lived for that tour back then and I live for it more even now. Such a legendary tour!
YASSSS C’MON LIVE VOCALS! When will your fave?
Oh, and I can’t forget about the medley from the Velvet Rope Tour! Iconic! The stage looked like a children’s story book in real life……and she sang that ENTIRE medley LIVE to death and didnt miss a beat vocally! That was a long ass medley too! Tool up one full act of the tour to do. Who else can slay inflatables on a tour like she can?
Lmaoo She tried it! Talking through the pre-recorded tracks to fool everyone into thinking she was singing live. I hollerd!!! ???? She can still dance a little, but her performance style is so played out now!! ???? I don’t think she has ever mastered the art of performing, her dancing just carried the shows!
Yes, she may have lip-synced a few times in her career because of the heavy dancing, but let’s not throw it under the rug that MJ was the king of lip-syncing. We all know that they both did it because of the dancing, but at least Janet sang live more often than her brother. As long as they gave their fans a good show, then thats all that matters.
Janet didn’t sing live more than MJ, what kind of lie. MJ sang live on all his tours except History tour.
And? They both sang live on every tour! She sang live more than him per each show of every tour, especially during her acoustic sections with slow songs. MJ would lip-sync the slow songs too.
I love Mj, but he liped in Dangerous and Bad tour. I even seen shows of Thriller being lipped. It’s not a big deal, you’re not going to sing and fully dance at the same time. At least not sound great doing it.
No he did not. Why did u even bring MJ up in the first place when he can actually sing unlike Janet.
The only song he would usually sing live was “Heal the World”, which was generally near the end of his setlists. Besides that, heavy choreo and lip-syncing. And if she cant sing, then he cant either. They have the same exact voice….soft and childlike in nature.
Same trolls, different day. This was live. She couldn’t hear the music so she stopped singing. I saw this performance in another city and she sang it all the way through along with other songs. Like someone said this was a LONG medley. And about the arena, she only wanted to use half. They were sold out or close to it. She sold 10k plus seats in other cities with no problem.
Yeah, it looked like she was fixing her mic pack because of a sound issue. Do you know why she didnt want to use the full arena? It seems weird to me.
And about her clothing. She actually has been wearing harem pants since her relationship with JD. She wore them while promoting the first WDIGM film on 106 & Park. Btw, her top is tight, married Muslim don’t wear that.
Of course it’s family friendly
She got damn kids up there with her SMDH s*** she’ll be hit with Child labor laws pretty soon. It’s like watching an episode of Dance Moms without the Lifetime channel Gil always f****** her up she should of speed dial Tina.
Didn’t I post that same Janet and her employee in the last post? Hahahaha at the Grandonna and MOOriah diss. #MyImpact
She was singing live, her mic went out. Performer can lip sync, they all do it, even Beyonce.
I think J stop singing due to the MJ/Beyonce wind taking over her hair and let the audience sing until ready
Hahaha, that hair is a lil too much.
I’m afraid the “All for You” tour was Janet’s last amazing show with fun set pieces and multiple costume changes. None of the “Unbreakable” tour photos and videos so far show a single costume change. Are budget constraints really that tight that Janet must continuously fall behind artists like Pink, Madonna and Chris Brown who come back again and again with something more incredible than the last time? Chris Brown’s current tour uses the most thrilling and most creative video boards I’ve ever seen in a live show. Pink’s “Truth About Love” tour reminded me of what Janet used to do once upon a time. By now, I would think Janet would be giving us the type of show that Michael wasn’t able to complete. Are my expectations too high? I always thought you can’t go any bigger or better than Janet Jackson.
During the All for You Tour, after Janet finished performong the little portion of “Miss You Much” and she asked her dancers “Hey, you guys! Is that the end?” and they said “no!” I lost my marbles. And when I heard the horns come in for “When I Think of You” I went crazy! Her tours were the epitome of creativity. Back then, only her and Madonna had the best tours.
Yea they are. Yes those show were icoic and yes I miss those days. But you have to factor in age and coast. This is her first tour in years, maybe first successfully finished tour since All For You. (Because the Rock With U tour was a mess and miss)
.
Yes the probs are nice, but real performers can give a great show without all of it. Leave that to the Madonnas, Katys and the rest that depends on it, because they’re not giving anything else.
You better speak it and spill the truth tea on my new dress!
No she has Gil’s sucky ass being the Choreographer and Creative Director again. She had better tours when she had Anthony Thomas & Chuckii Booker (Rhythmn Nation 1814 Era), Tina Landon (Janet & The Velvet Rope Tour), Shawnette Heard (All For You Tour) those where her creative directors and Choreographers for those last great tours that she had yeah that was long ago since then Gil took over and gave her sucky tour after sucky tour after….. why even bother he will never be on the high status level of Tina Landon because when Janet worked with her. Her tours where on the next level from Janet to the Velvet Rope and for Janet the Velvet Rope will always be her most memorable standout tour till this day she really needs to cut ties with him after this tour because if she continues others like Madonna, Beyonce, and Rihanna will continue to outshine her tour visuals wise She can’t concur if Gil keeps giving her these horrible creation for her tour yes you may see it sales wise, yes her dancing is on point as always but the visuals matter and as much as I love Janet the tour looks like the Discipline 2.0 without the s** appeal Gil’s gotta Go and she needs to call up Tina Landon to rescue her because Gil just ain’t cutting it.
I ment the rock with you tour.
@shady what are you talking about? Gil didn’t choreograph this Luther Brown, Janet, and Parrish Goebel did. He is the creative director and from what I saw it’s actually good. I don’t go to concerts for special effects anyway. A great artist/performer doesn’t need them.
I stand by what I said Gil still sucks even as creative director and it’s not about being flashy she still had her best tours with Rhythmn Nation, Janet, and Velvet Rope tours and a honorable mention the All for You tour but I still stand by what I said.
Janet is not showing skin or simulating s** with her male dancers because she’s a married to a muslim man, she’s a s**** to her man, didn’t she wanted to kill herself because of islam or is that a rumour?
Or maybe she’s mature and doesn’t have to. Don’t forget that she was raised in a Jehovah Witness family, just as strict. and her Control and Nation eras were fully clothed. Janet didn’t start “taking it off” til Love Would Never Do Without You video and Janet era and she was already a megastar before then.

Madonna is okay, but i LONG for the day when she finally decides to cover herself up and act her age. You know its hard out there for an aging popstar when she has to flash her nipple and wear lingerie for attention.
She never danced naked or shall I really say half naked the closest thing to skin she ever showed was her abs in a bustier, midriff, and cleavage wit her boobs heighten in a push up bra she just never really a girly girl who wanted to dress s*** or raunchy she was a tom boy but yeah during the video Love will never do without you she showed a little s** appeal while leaving much to the imagination heck even during the Number 1’s tour first leg of that tour she looked very uncomfortable.
Minus the mid riff, this is no different than her shows now. What are you haters talking about “s****”? Janet didn’t have to hmp the vma floor to be known.

Janet during mu favorite era, Velvet Rope Tour… FULLY CLOTHED. Are you guys even fans or been under a rock the past 30 years? #ThePhuck
.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRBf7uq2F_g
Yes, the “You” performance with the creepy masks and the “Rope burn” s*** striptease was everything!
And she been singing LIVE for a while when she’s not dancing her @ss off.
.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71v8MyE9Yq8
The best she ever looked.
She even had seats for the general admission/floor section of the stadium. What kind of generous queen that wants her fans to be comfortable and not worry about maximizing the standing space to sell extra tickets.
Uh, mark, even when Janet’s dancing she’s singing live most of the time.
“Someone to Call My Lover” should’ve been a Hot 100 #1 for her. It was so iconic.
It should’ve won the Grammy it was nominated for too.
COME NO ARGUING LET GET ON THE JANET LEGENDARY/ICON TRAIN THAT IS FILLING UP, I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY WOMEN HAVE TO BE AGAINST WOMEN IN A MAN DOMINATED FIELD WHEN BOTH A DEALING WITH AGEISM REGARDLESS OF THERE OBVIOUS STATES AND ACHIEVEMENTS I DON’T HERE PEOPLE SPEAKING OF JAY-Z MID-40 SOMETHING ASS TO STOP FLOWING LIKE HES IN HIS 20’S SPEAKING OF MATERIALISTIC GAINS. lET THESE WOMEN DO WHAT THEY DO AND HOW THEY DO IT, THEY HAVE BANK ALREADY THERE HAVING FUN WITHOUT OUR SUGGESTIONS, IF WE DID HAVE THAT POWER I WOULD HAVE TO JANET TO LEAVE JD LONG AGO AND STOP MESSING UP YOUR CAREER TO DONATE TO HIS BANKRUPT/90/00’S RELEVANT SELF.
OMG, Granny is not showing skin, she must be a s**** to her 20 year old BF. lol

Lol at you thinking that i care that much for Madonna, to be clear, i’m not a fan of Pop music or pop artists, i just happen to agree with the reality that Madonna is the greatest female artist in history, it’s simple.
AMEN! I wasn’t a Madonna stan until 04 even though I knew about her b4 then wen I was a little boi. Now, I simply am in between on her music, but I realize that she could make 20 horrible albums from dis point and still be the greatest woman n pop music history.
Real classy, lol.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siowZ4V8xwo
Who say she is classy?, she’s a proud b****, her fans are proud that she’s a b****, that’s the difference between herand Madonna, one’s a proud b****, the other is in denial.
This is so classy, right?

The confessions tour was innovative, but lets not act like she didnt come on stage by a lift that had a cross on it. She wore a crown too. That didnt sit well with plenty of people.
I was thinking, next year will be the 30th anniversary of Control. What a career!
This was cool, I love this song. My absolute 2nd favorite from the Rhythm Nation LP. That beat is sooo addictive. “Love Will Never Do Without You” is my all time fav JJ song.
I’ll be seeing Janet LIVE, next year. And, Madonna on January 20th. I can’t wait.
Here’s hoping Madonna and Mariah Carey watch and learn from her as they continue to find their footing in a changing industry which isn’t interested in its icons sexing things up for attention.”
——————————–
I don’t think M or MC really cares about that, considering they’re still banking in millions from their shows too. Mariah just got paid $1,000,000’s to perform in Israel. Not to mention, her Vegas shows just ended & she was making almost 800K per night. And, Madonna is the QUEEN of touring. Her tour will be massive, and I can’t wait to experience it. Live, January 20th in the ATL!
MADONNA IS THE QUEEN OF TOURING, PERIOD! Bow Down Marky Mark!
Rite bc Madonna has never covered up…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JvK3U2gpsQ&sns=em

http://youtu.be/4cAM3gJI8TI
What Now totally miss the poit, but that what happens when you’re stupid and can’t READ! Bless the children.
CLOCK THAT CLOSETED PRESSED FAGGGGGOT WHAT NOW!
And you look just as stupid as him.
Not as stupid as you look, when you have the audacity to tell people you’re “straight”. Bye Blackky!
I didn’t know comments had a sexuality. Where’s your proof? The same place where MC vocals are at? Nonexistent?
The proof is you visit a site filled with homosexuals! The proof is you type & shade like flaming, bitter, homosexual closeted QUEEN! The proof is you stan for mostly girly feminine artist! Get the f*** outta here with that BS. And, don’t talk about vocals, when you stan for the GOAT whisperer. R****** can’t sing her way out of a plastic bag. Bitcch, ONLY has a TONE, that’s it. Bye Ugly
You sound upset. So MJ, Usher, J.Lo, T.I, Twenty One Pilots, Linkin Park, Incubus and so many others on in my music library are females? Oh my.
.
“Shade” is nothing but clever diss. That been around forever. You gays really think you invented this? Have you heard or locker room talk or barbershop chatting?
.
You figs want to cry equality, yet when someone treat you all as such, they’re gay? But this isn’t about that. You’re mad because I come with the facts and have you stans back up in a corner with no comebacks. Don’t get mad when I call your fave’s out for all their smoke n mirrors.
YOU ARE A HOMOSEXUAL, PERIOD!
–
Face it, acknowledge it, except it & start LIVING yo damn truth n*****. And stop tricking these h**’s into loving yo d*** suckin ass! What REAL n****, stays & i mean STAYS PERCHED up on a blog, filled with homosexuals? What REAL n**** stays arguing back N forth with homo’s & t*****’s? Bye MARKIESHA!
–
And, you ain’t exposing and/or calling out nothing about my favs. I KNOW MARIAH LIPS, I KNOW MADONNA IS NOT THAT TALENTED IN THE SINGING/DANCING department. What & who do you think you’re f****** talking to, some f****** retarded delusional f****?! No! And, the funny part about it is you already know & have seen me talk about my favs FLAWS! STOP STEPPING TO ME LIKE SOME F****** DUMB F*** N****, BLACKKY! You can’t clock s*** around here. Everything you say, I already know. MArkiesha!
KII all this hot tea that’s been spilled on my keyboard is too much ????????????. NO Marsha ! ‘locker-room talk’ is not the same as shade, since most straight males are chatting about sports, current affairs, politics and women in the changing rooms…. Instead of being a messy fÆg talking about celebrity women’s weight, their hair, their children, their voices l, etc. That’s things that messy bîtches the get a press-n-curl at the hairdressers on crenshaw. If you wasn’t busy looking at ding-a-lings in the locker rooms you’d know that babygurl!
—
Actually ‘shade’ and ‘tea’ is slang that originated from the South ages ago, when African American housewives would host tea parties and chats so that they could gossip about what was going on in their neighbourhood… So no it wasn’t evented by gays (including you).
At the end of the day, my girl Jan doesn’t have anything to prove. She is about the only artist that’s coming out with quality music and have something to talk about and will be able to explain what the meaning of each song is during her interviews. I pre-ordered her album and can’t wait to hear songs like the the Great Fovever, black eagle, should’ve known better, I already love no sleeep and unbreakable. I Just know her album will be amazing because she has more opportunities to release her singles now since she has her own record label. Plus I think Janet is doing damn good on her tour.
I can’t at any Beyawnce fan saying anyone is played out and talking about lip-synching to pre-recorded tracks why you drag yo fave like that!lol
Go Janet nice performance!
Michael Jackson voice was WAY stronger than Janet’s. And, he sung A LOT of his songs live on the Bad & Dangerous world tours (while dancing aggressively).
The hell do you know, you stan for the biggest lip syncing fat princess of them all. At least the others dance, whay moo moo excuse? Oh, no voice. Lol
I know music inside & out. Studied the best of the best! My favorite artist OF ALL TIME is MJ. Mariah Carey lip syncs cause her voice is damaged. Sad, but its reality. Get over it. Mariah is one of the most talented female artist this industry will EVER see, period. You stan for industry puppets, whom have no control or REAL musical knowledge of how to make MUSIC from scratch. Has the GOAT ever composed a song on her own? Has the GOAT ever composed an entire ALBUM of her own music? The GOAT puppet you stan for is an image. Created by music executives that GIVES her the music, sound, image etc… Same goes for the other basic Janet cloned trailer park trash you stan for. And, S******* is the biggest lip sync-er in HISTORY! The chick has basically lipped her ENTIRE career. Oh, but she get’s a pass cause she “dances”. Get the f*** outta here with that shitt, you’re stanning for artist with no real musical sense or knowledge. Just pop stars, whom “dance”. That’s NOT real artistry in MUSIC, period. Now that’s what the f*** I know.
.
.
And, you’re right, i am mad. Cause, you’re steady bashing & trashing artist like Mariah & Madonna, whom mastered the craft of being a MUSICIAN. Not just being a “entertainer”. Both M & MC, has written & produced CLASSICS, that will stand the test of time. RihTARDD & SHITTKNEE can’t & will NEVER compare, period. THAT”S WHAT THE F*** I KNOW, BLACKYY! And, honestly if I knew you in person, I would seriously meet yo f****** ass outside. You need yo disrespectful ass whooped. REAL TALK B****!
Shut up. Janet has a 3 octave range and Michael had a 4.
That still don’t mean shitt. MJ had an overall stronger voice. Much louder & resonant, period. Any REAL vocalist, can hear that.
COME THRU CHILDREN!! Those kids were going in!
