This would make a nice Janet mixtape. Yeah it's time for her to feature some Damita friggen Jo tracks since she didn't tour with that album either!

No AFY...She has to do the title track, no? Just the title track (which I think is what she will do). I do like the fact you only chose one "Conrol"...the almighty "Pleasure Principle", definately a favorite of mine. Wasn't that one of those tracks that she didn't do on some shows?

Ok... here's my idea.

I'd like to see Janet do sort of an artsy-fartsy show a la the Strawberry Bounce theme for her performance on SNL a few years ago. Gil's choreography is very stylized sooo he would do well with something like that.

I'd like to see the tour scaled-down a bit.. not such big production numbers where Janet is dancing with her dancers all of the time. Some numbers but not all the time..with her dancers being more in the background. I'd like it to be more musically theatre oriented where Janet would actually SING--not even using back-up tracks, and her dancers would support that but Janet would be responsible for singing more than dancing--not that she wouldn't dance at all. I would like to see her dance more without trying to sing at the same time a little more so the need for back-up tracks would be lessened or de-emphasized a bit. For a song like "Got Till It's Gone," maybe even using the theme in the video.. She could be singing in a bar setting.. with dancers all around... But Janet being more like Sade.. ya know?? The "Strawberry Bounce" number would also fit into that theme--if she even chose to perform that song.

Some of the other numbers would have to be reworked big time. But I would like to see more of a universal theme or concept running through-out the show.. something that would tie her choice of music together to paint a picture rather than just randomly performing each number.

Ohh... I'd like to see a band.. more maybe more in "character." I'd like to see more continuity...something creative.. with Janet playing more of a character... but not something whimsical.

eek lol

WEll, I've never seen a Madonna show actually. biggrin biggrin I take that back: I did see the Truth or Dare doc.

Actually, I was using Bette Midler as a model lol lol .. and my muscial theatre background... thinking along the lines of show like Ain't Misbehaving perhaps or one of Fosse's shows.

Going back to the Got Till IT's gone video.. Maybe something with a subtle social message. She could do the something set in a club.. maybe in South Africa.. I dunnoo. Something very like Cabaret or Chicago.. as far as using the thematic medium to express a message..even if that message is a satirical view of society.. I dunnoo.. She could even incoporate elements of what happened to her.. as far as the way society overreacts to stuff and the "isms" that we have discussed on this site...

When I saw her performance of 'Strawberry Bounce", I was very sure she was going to tour. Hell, she even did a skit where she was waiting for Janet tickets!

Yeah... ya know since Janet wants to go into acting--why not incorporate that acting in the tour in a way? The dancers could even play characters. Or if it's too difficult to create a universal theme, maybe each number could be a sort of vignette-- or story within itself--each with a theme or message, but still presented in more of sequential type way within the tour overall, ya know--with a climax and resolution. It would definitely be a risk because some fans probably wouldn't buy into Janet the same way they do Madonna. But it might be a risk worth taking because it could show that Janet has more talent than a lot of people give her credit for. It would really be a starting point of taking her career in another direction while still holding on and even returning to some elements that make her Janet.

I wanted to edit my preceding message--"society overacts to trivial stuff," while avoiding real issues and real problems that might contribute to the overreaction in the first place.

She could do a satire... addressing stuff. It would be really interesting I think. She does all those interludes.. why not somehow incorporate that as well--but more in a theatrical way. She really has all the ingredients.. it's a matter of putting thinking of a theme and putting it together with the intent of saying something through entertainment. In fact, it might be interesting to still profess NOT to be attempting to say something, but do so anyway, ya know??
Sort of like Silence also having a message--maybe the most strongest messages of all because sometimes there is no other way of expressing an emotion?
^^Actually, that could be the resolution. The whole content could be how she came to that point.

It could be a restrospective a career in a way.. messages.. including real-life issues. It would interesting to use some songs she treated lightly on her other tours as a backdrop like countering the lightness of Escapade with maybe some of the negative she's encountered on her travels. She could do a whole new take on RN, ya know? In fact, maybe she could open with RN... but the content of her show would be how that is an ideal.. that the reality of working toward that ideal is quite different and a struggle.

Yeah... I have some ideas. But they are so different. This is the only site I can post them. lol

I like it a lot but I would love to see Janet get down on "Throb". With the exception of "Call On me" being just the dancers, that's a somewhat concievable show.

BTW, the first thing on saw when I glanced at the post was Dream then I saw a list. I figured you wanted to start with "Dream Street". I like that song but if "20 Y.O" (the title and semi concept) proves one thing that we've already known for years and years, Janet is more divorced from those first two album than she is form Rene and Debarge combined!

I think she would be. She'd have to do alot of her old material though. Janet needs to go in a different direction musically. I think she should do more songs like "That The Way Love Goes" A more contemparary sound. She'd do better with that.

She could but she is more likely to open with "Vogue" or "I'm Looking For A New Love" rather than that!

Janet in zoot suit, performing...."Ray Of Light"....Madonna's head might just explode!

Noo. I didn't want Janet to be "Bette Midler" I'm just talking about a more thematic approach. The interludes could be sort of what binds the show together. She could use old or new music--maybe a combination of both with maybe the old being used as more of an introdution to the new?

Just something creative... I think she has a great opportunity to do something very powerful if she wants. I think she could make everyone happy actually.

i don't think we'll see much differnt. Since on the Today Show and Oprah she did the same Cheorography from the Nasty video.

Don't get me wrong. I love Janet but Madonna could say the same thing with a straight face now! Enough with Madonna. Sorry, I'm not threadjacking, just putting the craziness of a Madonna cover out there as more likely than doing a pre"-"Conrtol" song.

BUT Have you ever seen Bette Midler's show? I've heard her most recent tour was just a hoot.

I saw one of her old tours on Showtime or HBO.. a long time ago when she used to sing with the Harletts??? or Whorelett's I can't remember. I'm telling you she was more urban than you might think in a weird sort of way.

I guess I'm just talking about more in thematic sense.. and the fact that Bette had sort of this down-scale but at the same time larger than life performance. I'm not talking about Janet becoming a comediannne though--just more theatrical.

I could imagine Bette's show. But she's got a great personality and humor and presence. She can stand alone with a mic and do a show. She's witty and has great timing. I think it would be hard for Janet to ultimately pull that off.

I hope it flops for the name of the album alone. It should have been called "24 YO". This is the second time she has refused to acknowledge her R&B past.

has she ever acknowledged her first two albums? or is she ashamed of them? it would be nice if she pulled out a song or two from each one on tour.

She acts like she's ashamed of them. I remember "Say You Do" and "Don't Stand Another Chance" being very popular at the time. I think they even did fairly well on the R&B charts. I guess if it doesn't cross over to the pop charts it was a failure in her book.

I saw Janet in Ohio in 2001 in a 20,000 seat arena and the place was less then 1/2 filled.

so she is now going to be in the 5,000 seaters anyways outside of of NYC & LA

Yeah... Bette is crazy. This is what I saw: Devine Madness
I REALLY wanted to see her most recent tour, but we were just both too busy. I'm really disappointed that I missed it. sad

Obviously, Janet can't do "Bette," but I'm just really talking about a more down-scaled.. but theatrical type of performance rather than this monster sort of production. Wouldn't it be cool if Janet did something completely unexpected??? It would be cool for me.. maybe for not a lot of other people. lol

so no songs from the album Damita Jo then? lol

i use to think maybe they, ( her early albums), reminded her too much of that time in her life and her 1st marriage. so maybe she wanted to forget it. so i think that can be respected. on the other hand...that sounds sort of lame. lol

I would love for Janet to do something unexpected. I'm a little afraid that she already has ideas for the tour in mind. I'm afraid that it's not going to be much different than what we've already seen but I could be wrong.

As for her not acknowledging her previous work, I find it kinda funny. Like she just suddenly had this great recording career and this fabulous dancing ability. lol But I can't forget Young Love and her doing nothing but standing in one place and doing a shoulder shimmy with an occasional jump, twist of her knee and toss of her feathered hair. Her fashion consisted of dark blue jeans, low hanging belt and a sweatshirt and sneakers or furry knee length boots. lol
