Janet Jackson brought the heat to New Orleans with a seismic set at the Essence Festival of Culture 2022.
Taking command of the Caesars Superdome, the leader of the ‘Rhythm Nation’ blew the roof off the building with back-to-back hits during her headlining showing.
The Queen of Pop powered through classics such as ‘If,’ ‘Feedback,’ ‘That’s The Way Love Goes,’ and ‘Control’ – much to the delight of the 80,000 in attendance.
That Grape Juice was in the building and indeed confirm that Ms. Jackson came, slayed, and conquered that stage.
Check out highlights from an unforgettable night after the jump…

You WISH you were Marilyn, hunnie! Yaaaaaaaaaaas 💯
No roach P.U.ss… I actually don’t. Nooooooooooooo
So why you STAY licking on her çlït? Yaaaaaaaaaaas 💯
Thats your job loud q****. You like to pay it forward since nobody wants to lick that muddy sh!t you got decaying in between your legs 😂 but that’s what friends are for lol
This that good ish, hunnie! Maybe if you cleared your “vintage” bush from 1973, you’d notice that the smell of decay is actually coming from what’s between your own legs. Now, I’m being a friend by letting you know 💋
Shut your filthy tranni mouth bum! You have so much to say about ppl with lives yet you never had one of your own.
Wow! Such stamina. I don’t see Britney, Normani, or any current pop starlet pull this off at 50+ like Janet can or Madonna before her. Maybe Bey and Cierra. . .but that’s it.
I thoroughly enjoyed Janet’s set although she didn’t come until well after 1am. I was tired as hell but determined to see her. She KILLED. Who else but the queen is doing this at 56 years old? And her mic was ON. I bow down to this LEGEND!!!
Saw her in concert before a lypsinc snooze fest 💤
Mary J. Bilge could NEVER!!!!
Hot Sh*t”, by Cardi B in partnership with Kanye West and Lil Durk, was the fastest growing song on US radio in the last 24 hours and has already accumulated 7.88 million in audience on Mediabase
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Still no second album though, huh? 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽
6 singles, 6 music videos, countless features including even more music videos… and no second album, huh?
Only one album in and Cardi already flopping 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Didn’t even make it to that second album 💀 Camila made it to three albums plus a soundtrack album 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Well if you didn’t notice that mic was all the way on for her entire set. I bet you enjoy support all the artists that copy her and Madonna though right?
Mary J lipsyncing now because the alcohol is destroying her voice
I thought the days of her moving like this were behind her, and I’ve been learning to accept that, so this Essence peformance is a very nice surprise. Janet’s still got it. I’ve seen her on tour four times and had my ticket for Black Diamond before it was canceled. I hope the next tour/album announcement is soon.
SHE DID THAT! Showed up and showed OWT! #myqueen
They didn’t tell me the queen was out there handing out parts like Twinkie Clark. I gagged!
Janet needs to sit down, have a SEAT before she breaks her hip 😂 Janet is so Ordinary & Boring compared to Michael. 😂
You know all about breaking hips, even when seated lol. Beyonce’s hair tossing will never compare to the clean intricate high energy Janets shows gave.
Janet will never compare to THE QUEEN with those stiff ROBOTIC 12345678s steps lol

^^^ here’s Bey just PLAYING & toying around with Crazy In Love. A mid tier performance still better than half of Janet’s performance history.
Janet’s SUPER BOWL performance was a whole SNOOZEFEST,
well it was until…
😂 😂 😂
(Justin saved it)
She pranced around the stage with bad hair and her low, deep, and husky voice with thick Texan accent on display lol.
As a hard to impress Janet stan, I have to give Ms. Jackson and the team their props for last night.
Janet SNAPPED!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Janet’s SUPER BOWL performance was a whole SNOOZEFEST,
well it was until…
😂 😂 😂😂 😂 😂😂
(Justin saved it at the end)
No wonder they never invited Janet to perform again. Janet’s boring live without Justin.😂
We ain’t gonna get no sleep 🎶😈💦 Yaaaaaaaaaaas hunnie!
Damnnnnnnnn go deep, anytime anyplace are Diva’s naughty bedroom jam💅🏾🍆❤️
WHAT AN EPIC SHOWING!!! ONE OF HER BEST SHOW IN YEARSSSS!!! 56 WHERE!!! SO PROUD TO BE A FAN!!!!
She slayed. She was so wonderful. Her tight band. Her dancers. Her Dj. She is The Queen. She deserves her flowers. She danced soooooo hard!!! I’m proud. She need to give seminars on stage presence to these younguns. I am so glad I didn’t miss it. Her brother Mike is beaming down saying “Well done”. She didn’t have to do it but…… she did The Damn Thing. Brava Queen. I’m bowing down.
You all on here must’ve been from a divorce pregnancy or miscarriage because Janet was the first to do it and always will… I don’t know who yo beyflopce is or ain’t. I don’t care she is a fake copy thief who steals. Bye
Janet is queen!!!!
She looks like a s*** galaxy 🥰
When they say Janet works the hardest THIS is what they mean. She comes from a generation that knew how to dominate a stage. She’s an icon for a reason!
Outstanding. Janet maybe one of the only musical legend-pioneers we have left alive aside from Madonna and Mariah ofc.
Janet birthed these b****** and still GIVING at 50+ years old. It was a treat to watch her slay the stage for almost an hour straight. Y’all 50 year old beer belly having mamas can’t event walk to the mailbox without being winded lmao
Old and stiff. She should retire.
