Really it makes no difference to me if you do or not, but it seems like you mostly bring her up to compare her to Madonna. I don't get it. I'm not interested in a Janet live show, but I'm glad she's supporting the album with a tour. It's a good set of songs and, uhh, I'm sure she needs the dough. | |

i could really do w/o RN for this one. oh well. but if she is gonna do it, asking JJ to change the RN routine is a bit like asking Tina to change her Proud Mary routine (which I could do without this time, too). I'll leave it alone babe...just be me | |

I'm not liking all the hatred for "Rhythm Nation" or "Alright". Those are classic, and I wouldn't mind seeing them performed at every concert! Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018! Let'a celebrate his legacy by counting down the most beloved Prince albums, as decided by you! | |

I'm a firm believer that she shouldn't fuck with classic choreography because there's no way in hell she's going to improve on it (Madonna is evidence of this). So, Rhythm Nation can stay exactly as is.
What I want is the choreography for new tracks to be excellent. I really liked the Luv choreography on Ellen today. She was on point. It's unlikely that any of these performances is going to be the staging for the tour, anyway. Go to http://www.janetfanclub.com to sign up for Janet's Tour Club. Janet will also be performing on the BET Awards. All dates will be announced June 7th. [Edited 5/19/08 14:39pm] | |

Ian, she says she is going to Australia!
Janet Jackson's 1st tour in 7 years to open in Vancouver on Sept. 10 By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Though going out on tour means connecting with fans, it can also mean long hours, high stress, and sleepless nights. Janet Jackson says she's looking forward to all of it. "I love all of that, all of that pressure, I really do," Jackson told The Associated Press on Monday as she gears up for a North American tour to kick off in September. The tour, which opens in Vancouver, British Columbia on September 10 and includes dates in New York and Washington, is Jackson's first in seven years. But the singer, who just turned 42 last week, said she hadn't planned on waiting for so long. "I was supposed to go on tour with the last album," said Jackson, referring to the 2006 CD "20 Y.O." But the singer said her record label wanted her to wait for her latest CD, "Discipline." "We were actually in full-blown tour rehearsals at that point ... learning numbers, getting everything together, set designs," she said. "I had to kind of shut everything down and go into the studio." Jackson's shows have always been heavy on choreography and glitzy sets. But she promised fans some surprises this time around. "It will definitely be a big production but it will definitely also be something that I've never done before, that people have never seen from me before," she said. While only a few dates have been announced for the Live Nation tour, Jackson expects to take the "Rock Witchu" tour (named, by the way, for a song on her new album, not for her brother Michael's famous hit) worldwide. "It's been a while so I really want to make my rounds," she said. "I haven't been to Australia in a very long time; I can't wait to go there. There are a lot of places where I really want to stop off at, and that's the idea, that's the goal with this tour. Tickets go on sale June 7. [Edited 5/19/08 14:48pm] | |

I didn't find the Luv performance all that special, her routines lately looked all blended together, but as long as she runs through the classics I will be more than entertained. I can't wait. | |

Well, I think this tour will be a definite pass for me; I've seen Janet numerous times in the past, and I've never walked away fully satisfied. Besides, I concur with everyone that says that she needs to retire a lot of her routines and themes. Even the segments of her shows are tired: If/Black Cat, Again/Come Back To Me/Let's Wait Awhile, Togetehr Again/Someone to Call My Lover/Got Til It's Gone, Escapade/Runaway/When I Think of You, etc...
It's less about her dropping Rhythm Nation and If from the setlist, and more about attempting to put on something different each time she tours. Otherwise, what's the point of spending $100 to see her? I've already paid hundreds of dollars to see her lipsynch and grind; unless she mixes it up, I just can't justify spending money on another one of her shows. I'm the first mammal to wear pants. | |

I didn't realize how much the Janet Tour was lipsynched until recently, but all in all, i'm just going to dance and have fun. I love concerts and she has so many hits i think it will be a great night. Since I don't care for her last three albums I still want her to perform the classics. [Edited 5/19/08 16:55pm] | |
