The Unbreakable album was great. A return to form. Much more mature and thought out. It’s going on 9 years without an album if she doesn’t release one this year. The longest she hasn’t released one since she began her solo career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyCunt Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Last show until October tonight. Will she announce international dates or a 2nd US leg... Will she release new music... Will she go ghost from social media... Will we get an update on the new documentary... The world may never know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of them BEST SHOW EVER I'm glad you Enjoyed! As a big fan of the album tracks and unreleased songs, I really appreciate how they acknowledged so many songs I enjoy, especially from the Damita Jo and 20 Y.O. albums. Her setlists since 2017 have been some of my favorites that she's ever done. All we need now are international dates! Her team knows what's up...

Had she not blown it at Glastonbury, she would have been able to tour outside the states without issue. That was a mess and it was televised. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't her best performance, but that ONE SHOW isn't going to stop her from being booked internationally. If there's money to be made and the demand is there, the international shows will happen. Essence proved that she can slay a festival stage and we need to move on from 2019. Edited June 21, 2023 by kishi 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m glad that she is singing so much live and the quality is there. It worries me a bit as the statement she put up in Insta seems like this is the end of this tour? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of them BEST SHOW EVER When she broke out Because of Love at the bowl (even though I knew the setlist ahead of time) is when I lost it. So good. And so happy she's being more playful and sexual onstage again after kind of shelving that side of herself for a while during Unbreakable/SOTW tours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradySpears Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 She was amazing last night. Loved seeing her in a sold out arena, the crowd went crazy for the old songs. I enjoyed how much attention she paid to AFY - 20 YO but I think it was a little too heavy on those tracks. She did You Want This as the surprise song I was shook 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopThatCorn Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Honestly surprised more dates weren't announced to extend the tour. Maybe it has something to do with Janet taking her son on tour with her? Maybe she has other plans for the next months and will resume in fall/winter? It seemed obvious that the tour would continue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nippy'sReceipts Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 I honestly think this is her best tour. This is her most live one since Rhythm Nation it seems and the outfits are an improvement from the last 3 tours. I love that 20 Yo and Damita are finally getting their moment. they still are better than most R&B albums out afterward . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is literally made for Vegas. Also Janet’s first intro to performance 50 years ago was in MGM in Vegas . I also think she needs to do more promo on Tiktok or something and introduce herself to a younger audience . Her underrated music videos are wild. She has so many choreographed moments that deserve to go viral like Alright park bench dance in music video , Pleasure Principle chair moment. I’m tired of seeing people doing the weak ass Rihanna Super Bowl dance. That **** wasn’t even dancing ! Janet had real choreographed moments and is the Queen of choreography Edited June 22, 2023 by Nippy'sReceipts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the crew deserve a break, I hope for an announcement this summer about the extension of this tour. Unless there's some surprise dates that she's going to do, there's not enough time to sell tickets for anything prior to the October show. 1 hour ago, LuckyCunt said: Won't even be shocked if she goes back to Vegas A lot of fans are speculating that this will happen.

Nippy'sReceipts Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 (edited) I wonder if Janet would ever think of releasing acapella versions of her albums . I’ve seen her get so much traction online about her harmonies (it’s about damn time people realize!). I think it would be a smart thing Edited June 22, 2023 by Nippy'sReceipts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien M Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 I like it when her dancers run her social media. She’s a megastar on a diff level so it’s nice to see her around regular ppl. They sort of humanize her. More rehearsal videos tho! & a 2nd leg, PLEASE. At least 10 US dates in the cities that missed out on leg 1 (DC etc) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, the All For You Tour is a close second (bc of the production, I think she’s a more interesting performer now despite being older). I wonder what a Janet stadium tour would look like. Janet with a Beyonce/Taylor budget would be a spectacle every night. Edited June 22, 2023 by Damien M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt her team will ever give us something like that. They didn't even bother to add anything new or rare to the janet. 30th anniversary reissue. Acapella versions of the singles would've been awesome. 10 hours ago, kishi said: While the crew deserve a break, I hope for an announcement this summer about the extension of this tour.

She doesn't need a super long time to sell tbh, but you're right it seems like a break is gonna happen for a while. I'm not holding my breath for new music anymore but it would be yet again a great opportunity to release something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
