Janet Jackson in Concert
Janet Jackson's singular path through R&B and pop has been defined by her no-nonsense attitude and desire to change the world. Her State of the World tour was a much-heralded return to the spotlight, with crowds all over the globe reveling in her run-through of hits, from the chart-topping burst of energy "When I Think of You" to selections from her triumphant 2015 comeback ‘Unbreakable.'
Born in Gary, Indiana, in 1966, Janet is the youngest member of the superstar-studded Jackson family. She made her initial splash on the small screen, playing Penny on the groundbreaking sitcom ‘Good Times' and appearing on '80s TV smashes like ‘Diff'rent Strokes' and ‘Fame.' In 1982 she branched out into music, although she wouldn't truly come into her own until 1987. That year she released ‘Control,' a blistering, genre-defying album that showed off her silvery soprano and tough-as-nails attitude. Her tender side shone through on "Let's Wait Awhile" and other ballads, but on other tracks she wasn't afraid to take aim at overbearing collaborators, "Nasty" boys, or anyone else who might get in her way.
‘Control,' which unleashed five Top 10 singles, set the tone for Jackson's discography, which blended provocative, socially conscious lyrics with forward-thinking music that spanned genres and styles. During the '90s, Jackson racked up six chart-topping hits — including the simmering "That's the Way Love Goes," the joyous "Together Again," and the hard-rocking "Black Cat" — that all embraced different aesthetics, showing off various facets of her personality and wide-ranging musical interests. In the 21st century, Jackson has remained an inspiration for younger artists and a guiding light for audiences, releasing singles like the blippy "Doesn't Really Matter" and the sultry J. Cole collab "No Sleeep." On tour, she proves that she's still a strong, thoughtful woman, reeling off her dozens of hits while flaunting her still-sleek — not to mention culturally iconic — dance moves.
The state of Janet Jackson's world is in excellent shape, thanks to her ruling it with a defiantly independent spirit and undeniably great music. Give her a beat.
Upon going to this concert I didn't know what to expect being my first concert there at the State Farm Arena. I had a blast my seats were worth the price just wish I had more money for the front row line that would of been awesome. Would love to see her again here in the valley will pay the price for it all over again...
From her arrival to final cut, she commanded the stage and kept every1's attention.. The lady is truely the definition of a ICON..
Janet put on a great show. She kept the crowd going the whole show. Well worth it, better than I ever expected!
Loved the concert......was so fun to go back in time with her...she reminds me of her brother Michael, so that was an added addition that brought me chills and a tear.
Great show.!!!! I would see her again any day! Shes still got it
Janet Jackson was awesome. Her dance moves are just amazing. Janet is such a great performer and singer. She is such a beautiful and talented person. I love to watch her sing and dance. She is the queen of pop. I am a big fan of Janet. I would recommend her concert to everyone. It has been one of the best concerts I have been to. I would definitely go to another one of her concerts. She puts on a great show along with the rest of the dancers, and the band.
JANET...WAS AMAZING!!! This is by far the best concert I have ever been to. Tina comes in 2nd.
sound system was horrible if i new sound was going to be so bad i would not have gone $200.00 i dont think so janet was great
It was a great show. I just love her and it was one less thing for me to do to say I have already done!
The show was great. It brought back many memories. It couldn't have gone any better.
She shill can be called just Janet! All dance, 3 changes of clothes. Best bargin for our seats! Thanks for visiting The RIO GRANDE VALLEY!
She sang all her hits!!!! The best concert for me and her!!!!!!
2nd concert I have attended. I thought it was spectacular
Just saw the show last night at State Farm Arena. Wow!!! no opening act - she didn't need it. She performed all her #1's and totally rocked it out all night. No backup tracks - just her singing and sounding phenomenal. Paid more to sit close, but the nearly 2 hour show was well worth every penny. Would highly recommend this show to anyone. If you are a Janet fan, don't miss this one. If you are just thinking about going - JUST DO IT! You won't be disappointed. I have seen two of her other concerts over the years and this tops them all!!!
I've been very fortunate to see many performers live over the years, to me Janet is still one of the "best" hands down. I saw her live in 2008 at MSG and she was awesome!! I'm looking forward to seeing her at Radio City this month and I'm certain as always she'll be great a class act.
I have met Janet in person, introduced her on 106 & Park, received a cd with a personal message to me on it, and been to almost ALL of her concerts her in Chicago. With all of those encounters she has NEVER changed, so every time she is doing something or come back home to Chicago I support her. Because she is, quite the class act and I applaud her for that. So to ALL of the Janet lovers around the world I hope that you enjoy her “Up Close and Personal” show because I know I will.
Omg I can't wait till Janet jackson comes to the Chicago theatre!!! I will be there march 7,8,and 9th!!!!
HANDS DOWN, Janet is the best live performer I've ever seen! She performed with great energy for 2 1/2 hours with no intermission. She only took short breaks to change clothes in between songs, and was back on stage by the time the next song started. Also, Janet's stage background and props changed several times througout the show (which I loved). Janet is a performer who greatly appreciates her fans and gives them her best through her shows. I can't wait to see her again!
i luv janet jackson cant wait to see the show last time she went on tour she didnt came in arizona so happy that she will be here
Janet Jackson is a performer you don't want to miss out on. I can't wait to see her when she comes to Vegas. I've seen her past 3 tours, simply amazing.
