    Nooo Bro she alredy headline 2 years ago broo their are so many from brandy Monica Kelly Rowland let them headline

    • Nah May 3, 2024

      Monica nor Kelly have enough hits to headline. Janet is age appropriate and gives a good show.

    Now I’m not sure why she chose to do this when she’s playing NOLA during her tour, BUT this will be a treat for those attending Essence from all over the country. And those of us who will watch the livestream like last time.

    It will be interesting to see the entire Festival lineup.

    Why can’t we just admire her for doing what she does for this long. She has enough money to never perform again. There are only a handful of entertainers that has the catalog she does. She does it because she loves entertaining. You better enjoy her while you can

    For those of you talking negative about Janet I suggest you check her stats before you talk s***. The Iconic Janet Damita Jo Jackson is of the best selling artist of ALL Time. Over 180 albums sold, 7 #1 albums, 10 #1 Hot 100 Hits, 16 #1 R&B Hits, 28 Top 10 Hot 100 Hits and she is the only black Artist with #1 albums spanning 4 decades (On Billboard’s Top 200). Janet Jackson is one of the most influential entertainers of the modern era. Oh and she is in the Rock And Roll Hall Fame. Someone said get Brandy or Monica. Let’s be very clear those girls are no way near Janet’s Iconic status and few are. I need you no music knowledge people to stop being haters and gain some sense of what entails being an Icon, because you obviously have no clue.
