  7. Mrs. Sk8board P (ak & bk stan)

  8. Mister.bee

    I thought she was going to dance like she
    did in the video for “Nasty boy”. She just
    walked around looking pretty and fluttering
    her hands around….I call shenanigans. lol

  9. Luke

  14. Iwasaslave_4u

    im sorry but that ‘sorry’ track is.a.mess!!!!!

    Janet i want you to be HUGE but you need hot music—damn its not hard, work with some hot producers (or maybe some unknown ones) and someone will give you an innovative sound!!!!!!

  15. Iwasaslave_4u

    Why cant she bring hot music like ‘nasty’?? -she worked it out in that performance!! HOT remix!

  16. Nicole

    I only need to say two words : JANET SLAYED!!!!!!!!

  17. WOW

    WOW is all i got to say! Nice new look, love the short haircut and the body is bangn!!!! Great performance! SHE”S BACK

  18. TREN D

    MYYYYYY LORD!!!! :-)

  19. Meat

    Go on Ms. Penny! She’s a woman who’s been there done that. “Nothing” was magical. It appeared that the dress was designed to accentuate her positives. I hope she keeps moving on from “Nasty” to “Classy”. From “Ms. Jackson if you nasty” back to sweet and loving Ms. Penny.

  20. NothingButTheTruth

    The Truth! She is simply the best.

  21. InfiniteTranscension

    Beautiful song, love the lyrics, and she sounded sooo good!

    And for those tired negative @$s people who will always have something shady to say about Janet, at the end of the day, she will always work harder, come out a stronger better person and outshine YOU!

    Oooh can’t wait for Essence Music Fest!!!

  22. polokj31

    woooooo!!!I came acorss a great hot cougar dating site.

    If you put “A G E” and “M IN GLE” together, then you will get the url.

    It’s a nice and free place for Younger- Women and Older Men, or Older Women and Younger Men, to- interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out or- tell your friends

  23. Wanda

    She did a great job.

  24. Danger

    Janet was amazing because she brought that it factor to the stage with a classic Janet Jam! At the age of 44 she still proved that she can hold her own without gyrating and flying across the stage, she showed class and sexiness that these chicks to day beg for. None of these chicks today cant even match Janet’s numbers and where will they be at the age of 44? You can only gyrate and use sex for so long before it gets old, and at the age of 44 no one wants to see that mess.

  25. angelita

    Love Janet LONGTIME!!!!! SHE LOOKS AMAZING!

  26. SPEECHLESS

    OH MY BEAUTIFUL GOD!! THIS WOMEN IS SOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL SHE MOVES HER BODY LIKE NO OTHER AND DID YOU SEE THAT BODY WOOOOW! SHE KILLED IT!!!

    AND FOR THE RECORD JANET IS THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD REALLY IMITATE HER BROTHER MJ.

  27. Cast Iron Life

    Janet did her thing! I’ve seen her do some sub-par performances in the recent years, but she was ready for Idol. I like her new sound as well. She’s not trying to skew too young…the sound fits her age.

  28. SPEECHLESS

    AND MAY I ADD, DID YOU SEE THE LOOK ON THOSE WHITE WOMENS FACE IN THE AUDIENCE? THEY WERE LOOKING LIKE DAMN I WISH I WAS BLACK LOL.

    JANET…… MISS JACKSON IF YOUR NASTY!!!!!!!!!!!! NO ONE CAN F**K WITH YOU, I MEAN NOONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  29. Stewart

    Janet put it down!!!

    None of that Beyonce Jiggling and Booty Shaking nonsense.. But some mature education for todays female acts….WoooHoooo

  30. Langston

    Just simply a great performance by Ms. Jackson!

  31. I LOVE THIS GAME

    SORRY, SORRY , SORRY BUT I AM NOT A JACKSON ASSLICKER ……JANET WAS A JOKE , SHE SOUNDED LIKE MICHEAL ,,,,AND HER WHOLE LOOK WAS TACKY AS HELL ! ! !

    COME ON YOUNG FOOL’S THIS WAS A JOKE .

    I AM SO TIRED OF HER VOICE , JANET SINGING’S LIKE A SMALL CHILD WITH A BAD COLD , OR A SINGER THAT HAS A VOICE PROBLEM .

    NOTHING WAS ORIGINAL

  34. shanna

    damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn fk it up. ms jackson to u!!!!!!!!!!!! love me some janet

  35. 0beloved

    THIS IS WHY DANCERS SHOULD NOT BE SINGERS. I SEE JANET DON’T HAVE THAT ENERGY TO GET ON DA FLOOR AND MOVE FROM THE TIME SHE GRACE THE STAGE TILL THE END LIKE SHE USED TO. I CAN SEE HER 10 YEARS FROM NOW RETIRED FROM THE INDUSTRY BECAUSE NOBODY REALLY WANTS TO HEAR HER SING ANYTHING. SHE’S NEVER BEEN A SIGNER TO ME JUST A GOOD DANCER. AND WHEN YOU CAN’T DANCE 24/7 LIKE YOU USED TO ITS NICE TO FALL BACK ON YOUR VOICE BUT SHE CANNOT.

    THEN SHE GOT UP THERE LIP SYNCING LOL NO MA’AM.

  36. HILLTOP

    Janet shut it down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  37. Jforreal

    Janet owned the American Idol…I didnt even find out who won til later. Its not always about a big dance number but about stage presence and showmanship. She sounded beautiful… looked beautiful… moved beautiful… and that body was like ‘Pa Dow’. She has that “It” factor and thats not bought or practiced…it is what it is.

  38. jessica

    @ 0beloved & I LOVE THIS GAME : Can you guys do better in a perfomance on national tv? I can’t stand these youngins saying that the greats can’t sing and saying they are not original , but saying Beyonce, Rhianna, and Gaga can sing and original ?? GIVE ME A BREAK!!!! Beyonce screams, Rhianna sings through her nose, and WTH is even Gaga singing? All equals to = WACK!!! Janet killed that performance, she back and ready to take heat!!! Real damn artists are coming back, Toni, Janet, Kelly, and Christina, and its about damn time!!!

  39. tumelo

    legendary.. sehd efintelu schooled the,m idols peeps! I LOVE HER!

  40. Nelly Girl

    Now this is what i called Classey Sexy Lady…She does it with Class.

    SHE CLAIM HER CROWN AND SNATCH IT!!!!!! LMAO

  41. FlyyIAm

    what the hell does Beyonce have to do with this thread? Janet did a great job and thats that leave Beyonce out of this and when its all said and done Beyonce has accomplished a few things that Janet hasnt accomplished. We will continue to see Beyonce around until she hits 44 as well.

    and @39 Beyonce will slay Janet in a vocal performance, Beyonce’s low register will murder Janet too sorry but its the truth >>>>>> next

  42. KIDDO

    Simply The Best! Janet is Amazing! This woman just can’t do no wrong in my eyes!

    Luv it!

  43. Allen_J

    alot of positive feedback. I like Janet because she stays in her lane. She’s been a pop icon for damn there 20 years it’s not about competition with her cause she has nothing to prove

  44. itstimeforsomething new!

    Damn at 44! Janet I am speechless!

  45. ty2phine

    PLEASE DO NOT COMPARE JANET TO BEYONCE.

    Janet Jackson is a LEGEND, she has sold MORE records than Beyonce and she has broken more RECORDS and had More Number 1′s than Beyonce from 1 CD.

    Janet Jackson is a STAR, she is a successful recording artist, she is a actress and a worldwide star who is greatly respected and admired.

    Janet is worshipped by even Beyonce. Beyonce is a robot: she is a fake mariah, beyonce and tina turner. A DRAG QUEEN.

    Please give Janet jackson some respect, and if you think she’s not talented:

    1. ALRIGHT VIDEO; Incredible – very old hollywood
    2. Love will Never do: after watching this video you realize how beautiful she is
    3. Pleasure Principle- only Flashdance did it better
    4. When i Think of You – street dancing and energy at it’s best.

    Janet SLAYS even when she’s not dancing.

  46. sean2010

    @42

    Yea that is true.. But Janet accomplished a lot more and broken grounds and etc.

    Yes Bey will slay JJ vocally. But overall on stage?

    Plz. Lol

  47. Real

    Janet shows that you don’t have to pop your coochie every other beat to be sexy. Go Janet, show ‘em how it’s supposed to be done!!!

  48. FlyyIAm

    @47 read the reviews Beyonce continuously sells out arenas and stadiums around the world and she doesnt need to compete with Janet because Janet lost it a long time ago, this is her best performance to date since 2001 All For You album, this is also Janets “1st time singing live”

    @46 all those things that you have named that Janet is BEYONCE is too LoL Beyonce is reaching countries that Janet has yet to reach.

    Beyonce has more Grammy’s than Janet, Barbera Streisand, Diana Ross, Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin, Michael Jackson, Paul Macartney, and a few other legends.

  49. Asha

    Janet did a great job! love her

  50. JodyP

    Luv her…..she did the thang!!!!

  51. sahra

  52. goodgrief

    people always seem they have to compare beyonce to some1 else like she’s the first the last the beginning and end- sorry to burst ur delusional bubble she did not create this game

  53. Qiana Wilson

    Shes the best of the best. Shes a JACKSON, and shes also the QUEEN OF POP.

  54. JSCENE

    Woe! That’s a bad chick…..Gotta Luv JJ! She’s so pretty and i love her voice….I love the hair cut. Can’t wait for the CD.
