Janet Jackson Concert Wrap-Up...

Well, before I get to the show I just have to comment on some of the bad fashions I saw last night.  Why don't people just keep it simple?  A nice pair of jeans and a cute top would have sufficed.  What in the ghetto Pocahontas is she wearing?  Perhaps she was trying to conjure Janet from her "If" days.  You see how she looked from the back, the front was 5x as worse.  I don't know, maybe they don't sell perms at her CVS?  Anyways...

Oh My Gosh, last night I was running so late.  The show was to start at 7:30 with my husband L.L. Cool J. to open.  How about we do roll call?  "Janet Jackson"--here.  "L.L. Cool J...."  I said "L.L. Cool J."  Hmmm.  How dare L.L. not show up to D.C.  I know what it was, he didn't wanna make all of those D.C. cunts jealous when he pulled me up on stage to announced our love.  

I arrived at about 8:30.  It was perfect.  Janet came on about five minutes after I arrived.   She opened with an old school set--"Pleasure Principle", "Miss You Much", etc...  You guys know I love Janet.  I grew up with her.  I can remember being 8 or 9 dancing around in my bathroom pretending that I was in the Pleasure Principle video like any other normal little girl...

lol.  The 80's shaped me.  She is truly one of the biggest icons of my time, but last night It seemed like she just couldn't get it right.  Perhaps the fact that Janet was the biggest during a tour since Rhythm Nation could have added to why she wasn't sticking her dance moves as hard?  Take into account that she is 42 and probably nearly over it now.  She has achieved feats that today's R&B/Pop artist couldn't imagine, but that old Janet magic just wasn't there.  Don't get me wrong, the show was great, just not spectacular.  I'm sorry for mentioning Beyonce again, but in a time when that cunt dances (in heels) and sings straight out (no lip-syncing) for 2 hours straight, the bar has been raised.  I give her one, maybe two more tours tops and she's done.  Janet doesn't give Madonna, her music is all about tight choreography.  She doesn't just roll around on the stage for hours.  That's why Madonna can tour well into her 50's.  Janet's music is also not about her voice.  She's no Patti LaBelle who can grasp your attention with her voice, she lip-syncs, which means your dancing and stage presence better be tight.  

All in all, Janet has given us hit after hit.  I'm actually updating my Ipod now with a few that were over-looked.  Janet still rocks, just not as hard...   

How do you ask your mother for a pair of skinny jeans and knee-pads at age 8 when you're a boy?
