Lookin good janet..
Stunning!!!
Looked like the Rockwitchu Tour all over again but with new costumes and a slightly altered set-list. A for effort, glad I didn’t go down just to see this, again.
Wow I was gonna go to the EMF, maybe next year. I think she’s gettin a bit old though n might wanna tone it down a bit..
DAYUM JANET LOOKS F**KING GOOD AS ALL HELL. GOOD LAWD THAT A$$ IS PHAT!! HER BODY IS ON POINT AND SHE LOOKS BEAUTIFUL.
Janet looks Great. Similar to the Rock Withchu Tour yet different. 90% of her costumes were different but some of the dancers resused costumes from the RockWitchu Tour. Either way, she killed it and people who were tweeting during the show def seemed pleased.
Thats a bad azz outfit, im confused as to how janet get backs into shape so easy. One day shes fat next day she has the best bode.
On another note, she looks VERY rihanna. Why are these artist lookin the same these days. GOD. Even since rihanna cut her hair and did the edgy fashionista thing, it seems like tons of artist have followed her. I wish these artist wad focus on makin quality music and stop focusin so much image.
GOOD LAWD HAVE MERCY!!!
@MIMI
get your facts straight Janet been on the Fashionista tip for over 20 years way before Rihanna was even in this world.The younger generation needs to do some research and stop trying to act like Rihanna,Gaga,Beyonce created everything when infact Janet,Michael,Madonna,Whitney,Mariah,Prince already been there and done everything these new artist are doing now. You kids are trully ignorant its funny
Janet had some lip squeeze out in that pic where she was squatting over dude!
Janet’s body is the truth! Love her. I can’t wait till this airs on TV One next month.
This lady her can never look Rhiannaish if anything you have that backwards. And I can tell you this also that aint no damn ass pad. No one from the old school is trying to copy anything from these new artisist. What would be the point they have no originality and they are copying everything.
Janet!! Wish I could have went down to Essence! Janet is FIERCE @ age 44. Loves her!
MMMM MMM MMM Janet could get it! With a paper bag though….her face reminds me too much of the late great MJ (RIP)
I’m surprised people arent commenting about those revealing outfits & the gestures this 44 years old had on stage but if it was about some of the new artists there it would have been world war on how trashy they look. How hypocrite. Anyway, she looks good at least & can entertain with good dancing.
@P. Thank you, Janet is always doing some trashy sh*t on stage.
@ 9 no shade but I would never put Janet and fashionista in the same sentence because Janet can’t dress. For crying out loud she did that interview with CNN and when she was in the Wal-Mart booth one over the weekend wearing them same tattered True Religions that were hot back in 2005 that she wore throughout the entire 20 Y.O. promo. @ 6 yea she looked good and had some new outfits but still basically the same show and not as slow/lazy dance wise since she’s lost a few pounds from what I’ve seen on the Internet.
i hate leotards :/
Janet got her cakes out.. she look great. and I see she’s doing the infamous “freak a fan” on stage like she does at all her tours. WERK!
OMG!!! Janet showing the young gals that she got it too! The only entertainer out there who can touch her on stage is Beyonce!!!! Beyonce, first, Janet, next!
Janet did the damn thang at EMF, i ‘m so happy i got to experience it. Miss Jackson is the Truth, great show!
No matter how good you look, or how you ROCKED a performance…There will ALWAYS be haters! Some of yall need to go to a few confidence booster classes that way you can stop talking so much crap about someone when it’s obvious you have moved BEYOND and opinion and straight to HATER lane!
Looking GOOD Ms. Jackson…Keep showing these youngsters how it’s done!
P.S. Yall really compared her to Rihanna???? Really??? *DEAD*
Im sure it was the same old tired moves -_-
^^^ Wait, What, Who first? You gotta be under 21 to say something like that and be serious. When talking about a women who carved out her own fame, set trends, inspired Teddy Riley to come up with a sound in music called “New Jack Swing”, sell over 100 million albums SOLO, set records for hightest grossing and attended concert all around the world, be named an ICON by MTV, star in nothing but number 1 movies, make timeless music (not trash), take music videos to another level dance wise, and do just about half of this stuff while in her 20′s, dont ever compare her to an amateur who self proclaimed herself to be an Icon, Diva and legend. Your statement kinda makes me think that your eyes have never seen a true Icon and Legend at work on that stage, or that your ears have not had the privelege to hear beatiful music, not robotic repetiveness. Their are so many other true things that I can say about Janet, but why should I , her work and preserverance speak and have always spoken for themselves. And as far as I am concerned, Jan can do whatever the he!l she wants to do on stage cause her discipline routine is NOTHING new. Janet been open with her sex appeal, but see its a sexiness that comes from within and oozes out. Its, not forced, made up or dressed up, its real and people, men especially, notice and respect that. Shes never forced sex in our faces, it was just apart of who she was as a women and so she included it in her show, but it does not overpower her shows or become something that she uses as a crutch to become popular and stay relevant. Dont nobody do it like Janet, and I’m not even considering nubees when taking it there. She will forever and always be music royalty and the best female performer to ever do it. Shes an original who always said, ” I never wanted to be a singer, I wanted to be an actress”. Well, for her not to ever have wanted to be an entertainer she sure could have fooled me cause the power that came out of her and from her as an entertainer has yet to be matched. Kinda seems like it was meant to be, cause it was just too briliant for it not to happen. So I said all of that to say this, their aint no next and you can get that first business outa here also, JANET is the ONE and the ONLY QUEEN OF POP. See where originality can get you. You cant fake this type of talent, and thats why shes recognized and respected for it. I’ll take real over fake anyday of the week. Janet next my a@s…
@ATLANTAGEORGIA
“The only entertainer out there who can touch her on stage is Beyonce!!!! Beyonce, first, Janet, next!” – GO JUMP YOUR YOUNG DUMB ASS OUT A WINDOW WITH THIS BULL. BEYONCE DONT EVEN COME CLOSE TO BEING THE KIND OF ENTERTAINER JANET IS. AS YOUR GIRL BEYONCE WOULD SAY “TO THE LEFT ,TO THE LEFT” WITH THAT NONSENSE.
I just got back from the Essence Festival..we left for 6:00 to see Trey Songz perform for 7:00 and then we left at like 8:10..because she wanted to leave..but it was her money that paid for the tickets.. so I didn’t care..I could barely hear trey songs because the music was over powering his voice..I hardly even knew the songs he was singing..It was definitely a waste of my time.
Jante looks hot, she is the definition of SEX!
Actually some of the commentors are right about the Rihanna thing – I thought it was Rihanna and skipped past this post twice until I glimsped Janet’s name and face the third time I was about to skip past the post. The outfit and the “position” she’s in in the first thumbnail pic made me think it was Rihanna.
@ QW and Old School.
Thank you!!!! Clearly @ Atlanta Georgia had too much alcohol before she wrote that comment. Compare Beyonce to girl’s nowadays and then you can say that. But don’t ever compare to the legend that is Janet! Janet is the female version of her brother nuff said. But I will go on, her music is timeless and is not gimmicky!. Young kids sure don’t have respect. That is why we have people like Soulja Boy making money.
Dead at anyone thinking or even daring to compare the lovely Janet to Rihanna. Give me a fucking break! Rihanna could only dream to have a body like Janet’s. A beautiful, perfect, round beach ball ass. That tiny waistline. That 2000 watt smile. Janet is truly a Goddess. Don’t even dare to compare to all these gimmicks that emulate her.
wow… lol
I don’t like how nasty Janet is. She is just a little to raunchy for me. Her mother is a Jehovah witness and seems like a classy lady but I don’t know how her kids got so messed up. The stuff she does on stage I don’t care how old she is, if I was her mother I would just be so embarressed and ashamed of my daughter. I mean what is all of this going to bring to her? NOTHING!
MISS JACKSON ,,,,,LOOKS TACKY AND TRASHY FOR A 44YR OLD FEMALE .
@7 I AM WITH YOU ,,,SHE IS TRYING TO LOOK LIKE RIH , MISS JACKSON, CAN NOT DRESS TO SAVE HER LIFE TOO ME TO .
AND THAT ‘S TRUE ,,,,A LOT OF THESE BLACK CELEB’S ARE DOING RIH LOOK’S , THEY ARE TRYING HER FASHION LOOK’S , ALL OVER THE PLACE IN HOLLYWOOD .
Lord have mercy…as I wipe the drool from my mouth!
Damn! Janet’s body is the truth the whole truth and nothing,but the truth!
She looks great!
Did y’all see that AZZ?
I’m going to the gym this week with Janet as my inspiration!!!!
DANG!!!!
Well damn.
I AGREE, THAT IS A NASTY POSE WHERE SHE SQUATS DOWN IN THE GUY’S FACE WITH THE COSTUME LOOKING LIKE PUBLIC HAIR AND THEN PUTS HER FACE IN FRONT OF THE OTHER GUY’S PELVIS. WE ALL GET WHAT THAT MEANS JANET, HAVE SOME RESPECT FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY. BEFORE IT WAS THE TATAS HANGING OUT AND NOW THIS. YOU WOULD THINK BY NOW THAT JANET WOULD HAVE SOME CLASS BECAUSE OF HER AGE. THOSE TWO SCENES COULD HAVE BEEN LEFT OUT.
QW & OLD SCHOOL…PREACH!!!
I will say this though…I think Janet should be a bit more modest. She has been there and has done that. It’s like what Prince last last week on BET…no need to go there.
But I will say this! WHO THE FUCK IS HER TRAINER? I need to call that MOFO!
Her body is CRAZY!
Thanks for finally posting this Angel, I thought I was going to have this boycott this blog site lol. Janet is the #1 female entertainer of all time PERIOD.POINT.BLANK.
OMG!
I WAS GOING TO SAY SOMETHING BAD BOUT JANET BUT I CAN’T EVEN HATE
JANET KILLED IT…HER BODY IS ON POINT!
@ Kyla
You can’t be serious, check out any of Janet’s tours and she stands the same in all of them. This body suit is sort of like the cat suit she wore during the AllforYou tour.
You kids really need to check your facts before you start saying that Janet is coping anyone. Dumbasses..
@oldschool
I agree with you
why would this person even compare Janet to Beyonce?
That’s freaking carrer suicide!
Like go and sit somewhere with that Beyonce shit!
I gay but Janet just might be able to get it.
I’m just saying.
I would love to have a sex session with Janet
I wonder if she like woman….I’m very pretty!
I would love to lick her crotch for a couple of hours
I only feel like that bout her and Rosa Acosta lol
Did someone mention Rihanna here?
Because I don’t see anything Rihanna about Janet
Rihanna never turn me on!
I would love to chat but gotta go stare at Janets cooch some more
Janets about 20 yrs my senior i can’t believe I want her like this
I must be a sick little pervert lol!
@ GURLY
DON’T FEEL BAD. THERE IS ALWAYS AT LEAST ONE CHICK THAT IS BAD ENOUGH TO MAKE EVEN A STRAIGHT GIRL THINK TO HERSELF “SHE COULD GET IT” IF NOBODY KNEW ABOUT IT LOL.
ALL I CAN SAY IS JANET IS SO DAMNNNNNNN SEXY! STOP THE COMPARISONS BECAUSE JANET HAS BEEN THERE AND DONE THAT. ALL THE STUFF THESE NEW ARTISTS ARE TRYING TO DO MS. JACKSON PAVED THE WAY FOR THEM ALL SO STFU WITH THAT.
cosign #22
Now I am a Rihanna and Beyonce stan but Janet is in a league of her own! Leave my 2 girls out of this because this post is about Janet!! She looks amazing to be in her 40′s. Are you kidding me? She does not look trashy at all. She looks damn good! Some people can only wish to look that good when they get 45 years old! She is killing it from head to toe! Go Janet!
I’m beginning to think some of these Rihanna “fans” are not real fans but just bring her name up on every post just to get people bashing her again. You know damn well you can’t compare her to Janet so cut that sh!t out. This is coming from someone that loves Rih.
JUST LOOK @ THAT A$$!
DAMN THESE PICS GOT ME HARD AS A ROCK!
@25, 26, 30
Beyoncé definitely must be a massive threat cuz for someone u claim to be a gimmick, u sure were defensive enough & wrote some essays. Beyoncé is iconic in her own right & a very talented young woman. Age is a number and she proved it. Her achievements are impressive. It’s hard to swallow it, but we all know that Janet can’t hold a candle next to Beyoncé on stage. We love & respect Ms Jackson because she paved the way for the young artists & had an amazing career. But she lives now in a Beyoncé & Rihanna world. Get over it. She had her time. If we really want to compare raw talent and performance skills, Beyoncé puts Janet to shame. Simply & only by her voice. Just because Beyoncé does not have the same dance style as Janet (dancing hard like a man) on stage means that u should underestimates her. She could do it but it’s not her style. Beyoncé as far as I’m concerned gets me in awe, simple as that, Janet is good, but, she doesn’t do it for me like Bey does. PERIOD. Beyoncé performed pop, r&b, rock, blues, soul, jazz, ballads, ragga, country & even incorporates opera in her show, flawlessly interprets songs with the right emotion & passion. Janet could never, with all my respect to her. Beyoncé is second behind Michael in the performers just like John Legend said. People are starting to realize it. In no way Janet is the female MJ. Doing the same moves & being in the same family don’t mean she is. People really judge Bey quickly because her singles are commercial success & she shakes her ass (which is a legitimate dance btw). But Crazy In Love was among the best songs of all time by Rolling Stone, I didnt see Janet there. No shade. Beyoncé was the female artist of the decade, respect her, she is no gimmick or a female Soulja Boy. Go to see Beyoncé in a 2 hours concert & u will eat ur hating words. Game recognizes game, she performed with Prince, Stevie, Tina, U2 & for the Obamas. Prince covered her song Suga Mama. She must be something iconic, deal with it. Janet herself said years ago Beyoncé was an upcoming diva. So please, don’t downgrade Beyoncé simply cuz Janet paved the way, it’s BS.
@25
PS: it’s okay for Janet who is 44 years to act like that on stage with a leotard, almost sit on someone’s d!ck, getting on her knees, her ass out, it’s justified for u cuz she is a woman with a sexuality, but when others only wear leotards to dance, it’s trash & forced? GTFOH
Janet is an original. She slayyyyssss all others! Werk!
*DEAD* at how fucking brainwashed and stupid you people are! I guess people really don’t have morals or standards for themselves anymore. “Janet can do whatever she wants because shes a legend” SO WHAT. I don’t care if she INVENTED music this shit is down right NASTY. WHY is it every time someone is considered to be a good artist or a good entertainer it involves them grinding,humping,exposing themselves on stage. That shit is not talent that is opening your legs and letting your va-jay jay say “hi” to the world. Another thing is she is what 44 years old wearing this shit! She got a nice body no denying that but REALLY! You morons continue to support BLACK women putting out the image that we aint good for nothing but opening are legs and shaking are fucking asses! Puppets of this sick ass world!
@ OU
THAT IS YOUR OPINION BUT WHAT THE BEYONCE STANS DON’T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT EVERYONE DOESN’T AGREE WITH YOU. EVERYONE DOESN’T LOVE BEYONCE’S VOICE AND EVERYONE DOESN’T LOVE HER PERFORMANCE STYLE. IT’S OK TO LOVE HER BUT DON’T TRY TO TRASH JANET WHO HAS BEEN IN THE BUSINESS FOR DAMN NEAR 40 YEARS AND IS STILL KILLING IT ON STAGE. CHECK JANET’S RESUME AND GIVE CREDIT WHERE IT’S DUE.
@UNFRIGGINREAL The crowd loves that part of the show and the dude was excited as hell.
@ b!tchisyoutalkingtome
& exactly what kind of image are YOU putting out with all that FOUL LANGUAGE? Sweetheart you need to clean up YOUR MIND & YOUR MOUTH before you try to clean up Janet’s stage performance. You lost all credibility about caring how black women are perceived the moment you referred to another woman AS A B!TCH. If you have such a problem with the way black women are viewed TRY LEADING BY EXAMPLE.
OH & JANET NEVER CLAIMED TO BE AND NEVER WANTED TO BE THE FEMALE MJ. THAT’S WHY SHE TOOK CONTROL AND CREATED HER OWN SUCCESS. SHE INTENTIONALLY REFUSED TO WORK WITH HER BROTHER FOR A VERY LONG TIME JUST SO THAT PEOPLE WOULDN’T ACCUSE HER OF TRYING TO BE THE FEMALE MJ. SHE FINALLY AGREED TO WORK WITH HER BROTHER ON SCREAM BECAUSE HE ASKED HER TO. SHE IS HER OWN PERSON. OF COURSE THEY HAVE SIMILAR STYLES BECAUSE THEY GREW UP IN THE SAME HOUSEHOLD LEARNING THE SAME TECHNIQUES BUT THEY ARE NOTHING ALIKE AS ARTISTS.
Haters fall back! Janet looks fab. Better than ever if you ask me. How many other females are repping for the 40 & up group and looking this good and performing this well & the people still love them this much? Only a few. Only other legends like Tina Turner & Madonna come to mind. Do your thang Janet. These jealous females can’t handle what you are doing!
