Janet Jackson took centre-stage at the 2018 MTV Europe Awards in Bilbao, Spain moments ago.
Backed by an army of dancers, the Pop queen – who took home the Global Icon award – delivered a dynamic performance comprised of new single ‘Made For Now’ and classics ‘All For You’ and ‘Rhythm Nation.’
Watch below as the evening’s top honoree rocked the house…

Solid.
Great theatrics, staging, and sass from Ms. Jackson.
The outfit was a “choice” and kinda-sorta took away from the choreography, but there’s little to complain about when considering that she’s 52 and outperforming many half her age.
Update: Watch Janet’s acceptance speech:

She always slays the stage ! But can we get Janet in the s*** outfits back? Why are we still covered ? I know you lost the weight.
Janet was covered up during the “Control”, “Rhythm Nation” and at multiple periods of The Velvet Rope period. Stop acting like Janet was always just s*** when she was young, she wasn’t- she was versatile whether cover up in a full 3 piece suit with turtle neck and gloves (Rhythm Nation era) or when she had a string bikini top with jeans(All For you era). She does it all and has been that way since she was 19 in a suit (control era)
Oh lordT here goes TROLLmine trying to be me again. It’s crazy,
TROLLmine the try hard strikes again. It’s sad but I understand you can’t help it since you’re Rasptutia the hermaphrodite hoodrat from the New Jersey Projects. Just like jersey tries hard to be NYC, TROLLmine trues hard to be me(but it can’t cause it’s hermaphrodite and I’m single sèxed)

This is one of her best awards performances of present day. In the past this was one of her best award performances:

Here is a better version of that performance. Something is off with the audio in the previous video I posted:

I agree. I would say that was her best performance.
Since TROLLmine Rasputia (the hermaphrodite) wants to emulate me and mimic my every move, let me share some of its personal info with us so we all may be more empathetic to it! Here’s auntie Oprah explaining TROLLmines life as a hermaphrodite: man(with dïck) and woman (with Tuna püssy).

Janet: The standard, the best! She MURDERED THIS in a royal ceremonial, bondage inspired empress robe fit for a Queen and Empress of her stature. She’s in a league all by herself and repping for Wakanda!
Not a big janet fan I prefer madonna..

She light years better then Britney tho so.

You know we’re in 2018, right ?
what the heck does britney has to do with this post?
pressed much….
like I said if you’re going to come for britney come harder…throwing shade is just pathetic
Notice how Janet’s top half of her body AND lower half moves as she’s slays her routines. Her hands, arms, feet, head, facial expressions, hips and everything are moving in unisons to the groove. there is NO CONFUSION as to if Janet’s dancing or cheerleading or directing traffic like there is with Britney ??
Oh lordT here goes TROLLmine trying to be me again. It’s crazy yall

GUTTER TRASH
such presence! i love the fine balance of showing she’s still got it, but not pressed to prove anything because her contribution to music speaks for itself
Slay Mutha!
Janet killed it!!! Hated the outfit but loved her performance and acceptance speech. She seems so comfortable in her own skin at this point in her life. I also love that she is speaking from the heart on what she’s been through in the industry.
Kudos to Janet and the team for another solid performance! I liked the medley arrangement and the costuming for the dancers. Hopefully she will keep some of those elements for any European dates….
Janet Jackson= Britney Spears, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Mya, Paula Abdul,( even though she was her Choreographer she still wanted to be Janet) Aaliyah, Lady Gaga, many more Ms. Nasty Jackson has influenced. All of these ladies either watch her on tv or in concert wanting to be her. Ya f*** she might be old, but she still “Queen of Pop”, “Empress Of Pop”, “Queen Of S**”, “Queen Of Entertainment”, “Queen Of Music”, “Bonafide S** symbol. And will always be your fave, fave!
“ “Any female pop singer working today owes a huge debt of gratitude to Janet. Anytime you see a choreographed dance troupe, a toned bare midriff, an elaborate music video, a blockbuster stage show, a film role between albums, or an ear [headset] microphone — Janet’s fingerprints are all over it.” *Out magazine*
Very true!
I wonder whose d*** she sucked for her to suddenly become relevant again.
Well said
Shut up F.A.G.G.O.T. U always worried about another man’s d|ck! Janet always been relevant! She is the black Madonna! She got a fan base and that is that!
I wished Ciara or JLo came to saver her
You’re right, they should have been there to SAVOR her! LOL…learn to spell to shade, please.
Intro alone = Slayage.
But yeah, the baggy stage outfit kinda took away from the choreo.
Tired.
She killed it!
I still can’t get over the “Throb” medley she performed at that other awards show this year. This MTV performance isn’t as good, but still fun to watch. Wardrobe and style still need a little work though; it was not a flattering look Sunday night.
