I’m still on an extreme high from attending the “Janet Jackson” concert over the weekend. I witnessed a true legend at her best. This lady still got it y’all. I mean at 50 yrs. young, she entertained a crowd of goers from all walks of life, like never before. I mean everyone from the young and old, to black and white and everything in between. It was like anything I’ve ever seen. There were not any wardrobe changes or intermissions. Janet sung for one hour and eighty minutes straight.
Before the concert we were entertained by the DJ, who was spinning nothing but Janet’s music. That’s when I undoubtable realized that this artist has truly blessed us with an abundance of great hits over her long career. You know you’re considered the ultimate star when the DJ can spin your music from an extremely large catalog all night long. The night was clear not a cloud in the sky for this epic event. Janet hit the stage a little after 8 pm. Not bad to say, since she didn’t have an opening act.
Ms. Jackson hit the stage with a smoking hot single from her new album entitled “Burnitup!” featuring none other than producer and singer rapper extraordinaire “Missy Elliot”. I’m really digging this track. This up tempo track provides a nice backdrop to the end of a long hot summer. Jackson also entertained us with other tracks from the long awaited album as well as lots of old favorites. But, the best performances of the night would have to go to the song “Alright” and “Scream” as a tribute to her late brother Michael Jackson.
Janet has always given us a complete dance party. When I tell you guys this lady danced her ass off. She did just that. It was amazing to see her still be able to execute those complex dance steps with that overall Jackson precision that her family is known all over the world for. Let’s give it to this family they’ve set the tone for having the most creative dance moves in musical history. That’s what I so loved about this concert the way she kept the entire show interactive and engaging throughout the entire show. That’s what I call true showmanship. She has truly learned from the best that is “Michael Jackson”. I know he was smiling down on her as he watched his little sister captivate audiences from all walks of life.
So, I hope all my true Janet Jackson fans will either get the opportunity to check out her concert for yourselves or either pick up her latest project. In Stores October 2nd. And let me know which song is your favorite off the album.
