Janet Jackson is a woman of her word.
As reported, the singer’s ‘State Of The World Tour’ pulls into Texas this weekend. But, as promised, the star arrived early to visit victims of Hurricane Harvey in Houston.
Janet, accompanied by her brother Randy, dancers, and band, visited the Convention Center, which has been turned into a shelter for those affected.
Ushered by Mayor Sylvester Turner, the performer greeted and spoke with victims.

She reminds me of JLo here, with the red lipstick, hair bun and jean jumper. On topic: ?
She just came to WHISPER and observe lol
She’s always been a Charitable Queen.
LOVE JANET. BEAUTIFUL. AND INSPIRING AS USUAL.
If Madonna did this you all commenting would be saying it’s a publicity stunt just like her adopting 4 kids and building an entire hospital! But props to Janet and celebs who do good and lift spirits
My thoughts exactly…I don’t let certain things pass as a publicity stunt..?
What you fail to see is that Madonna is the queen of using “charity” as publicity stunts. The Jacksons have a long history of being charitable and it comes from the heart. Michael gave millions to charity and black scholarship programs. Janet followed suit in the 90s and 2000s and is continuing to do so now. Inthink you should just STFU. Anything for a shameless old lady Madge plug huh?
Old lady b**** janet is the same f****** age. Try again c***.
@PatienceHoney No Old Lady Madge is 59 years old and wears dentures. Madge’s real teeth rotted real real bad from old age and gingivitis. Janet is younger than old Lady Madge and Janet still has a beautiful white smile and her real teeth. Why are you Madge fans so pressed to bring up that old h** on every post? This post has nothing to do with that old h** especially when that old h** is chillin in Portugal and doing nothing for the flood victims.
But where is Madonna? She ain’t in Houston, fool.
@Jasmine Girl you really are pressed aren’t you. Girl its not that serious. Honey stop pulling s*** out your ass because you dont know s*** about either Janet or Madonnas mouths. Second b**** Janet is 55 years old. If to you thats 30 years younger than 59 well you need to go back to school. Again b**** they are the same f****** age try again.
PatienceHoney Look B|tch. You are the one who is “pressed”. You came on this post to troll and push Madonna on Janet fans for no reason at all! You don’t see me going on Madonna post’s and talking about other artists so why are you even on this post other than to troll and set your fav old lady Madge to get talked about by people like me? Janet and Madge are nearly 10 years apart so stop the lies. Madge looks like a senior citizen and wears dentures. That is a FACT! Janet looks at least 20 years younger than that old h|oe and Janet has her real teeth. Good black does not crack! Everything I say is true so never come for me with your nonsense B|tch. It is a FACT that old lady Madge is chillin in Portugal and doing nothing for the flood victims. Now you and that old h|oe can get lost! Stay on topic B|tch.
Here is a little truth to dispel your lies B****:

That´s true @Sean! I don´t have any problem with any of them doing it. But people need to at least be unbiased. Many of the people in this same post would be screaming publicity stunt if this were Madonna or Lady Gaga. Janet is adorable. But if one had to bet it would be on her, since she´s been hiding for years and now that she finally starts her tour it is when she appears in this, while Madonna and Lady Gaga do it way more regularly, album or tour out or not.
@JOHNVIDAL Why don’t you stay on topic girl? This post has NOTHING to do with Madge or Gaga. Janet’s SOTW dates were released back on 05/01/2017. Nobody knew Houston would get flooded back then so there is no way ANY big performer could perform in Houston this weekend without wanting to help out if they have any morals in them. Why are you Madge fans so pressed to bring her up in every post that is not even about her in the slightest? You CANNOT assume what people would or would not thing regarding another artist in a different circumstance! If Madge had a concert in Houston this weekend she would be doing the same thing and you CANNOT ASSUME what people would think about that. You can only think for YOURSELF!
Sean, DanYiel Iman, and John Vidal You guys are totally in the wrong here. I have to agree with Jasmine. Janet fans do not come for Madonna but Madonna’s fans seem to automatically be on the defense about nothing. If you look at the Madonna articles the people that criticize her about her “publicity stunts” are not the same people as on the Janet posts:
http://thatgrapejuice.net/2017/09/madonna-covers-people-children/
Cool.
Glad to see Janet and crew move among those who they may have inspired at some point and may now inspire again. She looks cute and I’m glad they actually spoke to some shelter residents. #SOTW2017
QUEEN OF POP!
She is a goddess
JD must be trying to get on it before ex comes back to reclaim and turn back to fully covered Janet again because Janet is looking excellent right know men are running to get a piece of VR/AFY Janet.
Okay she went but from the pictures it looks like she never met nor Came in intact with any of the people affected. She just browse the center and called it a day. Don’t be fooled.
Did you donate money to the flood victims and visit them like Janet did? NO so STFU. Only a “fool” would criticize someone’s charity contributions while their broke @zz wont even scrounge up 10 bucks to contribute.
B**** learn how to read. Reading is fundamental. Never did I say anything about her charity giving or lack thereof. I said she went and didn’t meet anyone at the arena. If you must know I donated $500,000. Lets see how you are going to try to clapback to this.
B|tch I don’t “clapback” at pigeons! I just tell it like it is. Any troll hiding behind a computer can make up stories. Your broke @zz did not donate a thing. You just spew hate and pigeon tales. You just want to hate on Janet so you keep making up these pigeon tales. If you did not have such a bird-brain you could have easily went on google and say that Janet visited and met numerous flood victims and she is also donating all of the proceeds from her Houston concert to help. Janet is a grown woman. Let her be b****. Stop trying to make her look bad for no reason and get a life of your own. She does not know you and certainly has not done anything to deserve the amount of hatred you keep spewing out towards her. Get lost B****!
You don’t clap back yet here you are. B**** you aint gonna tell me what I did and didnt donate. B**** unlike your f****** ugly ass my f***** ass and my family are rich b****. I live 5 miles from one of the rich white neighborhoods where it flooded. Hence that is why this celebrities and everyone is donating money cause rich white people got some of their homes flooded had this happen in a poor black or latino neighborhood no one would give a s***. Again learn how to read you f****** ignorant b****. I responded to a comment you about Madonna I didn’t bring her up. B**** looking older or being beautiful is up to each person. I could say Jabet was a f****** p** if I wanted to hate on someone but I dont cause my life is too good unlike yours. B**** just because you pull something out your ass does not make it a FACT. Go back to school you dumb b**** and learn what Fact and fiction are. FACT!!!
@PatientHoney Pigeon I have already proven you out to be a LIAR. You just spew hatred and you are a troll. You are also an idiot. That “reading is fundamental” phrase you threw at me is for the average person but trust and believe Jasmine’s reading capabilities entails reading between the lines and in several languages. Just to give you a taste…here is another example of a LIE you spewed out I will call you out on:
You claim you “donated $500,000” to the flood victims and then you claim “I live 5 miles from one of the rich white neighborhoods where it flooded.” Anyone that could afford to donate 500K to the flood victims would be living in River Oaks, West U, or an equivalent “rich” neighborhood in Houston and not “5 miles” from there. Rich people do not feel a need to brag or try and prove to others what they have. Thus, you are a broke @zz internet troll like I already said. Your lies are so stupid it is laughable and I can’t stand liars or trolls so get lost.
Janet MET with the evacuees…. and then also went to visit another shelter afterwards to meet more there….

This look would have been so cute with some pumps instead of shoes. But regardless, she still looks great!
I agree but I think she went there sincerely and not for a fashion show
Thanks for showing the victims of the flood love Ms. Jackson.
She lookd damn great. It looks like she has decided to bring some fire back and serve her fans this time, not liek two years ago. She can´t have been too happy during the last part of her relationship cause it is been separation and then instant return to music. She was probably desiring it for a while.
Well if those supposed whispers bring relief and joy as alot of those pictures Janet seen hugging, smiling and taking pictures with the unfortunate at this time of sadness then whisper on queen!
