JoeJoe Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 You're missing what we are saying. If Janet doesn't perform non singles from the current album she is supporting at that time...then 9 chances out of 10 she will not do it on future tours. Infact the LA TIMES article that interviewed Gil even says how HE was the one that basically was telling Janet to stop with her cliche medley's cus it's predictable to her audience. He said they FINALLY got through to her to switch it up and add songs that ppl wouldn't expect. If it wasn't for Gil, Janet would not be performing Island Life,TBTLY,etc. The Rock Tour was the ONLY tour aside from this where she stepped outside of her setlist formula because it was a tour for the diehard fans. I knew what y'all were saying but my pettiness kicked in and i'm glad you brought up the Rock Witchu tour cause that was my next go to 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the songs she sang during the RockWitchu Tour were singles (aside from tracks from the supporting album) Edited October 13, 2017 by State of the Game 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 (edited) I think y’all were referring to Say You Do, Young Love, and Don’t Stand Another Chance? All three were singles Young Love sold 200k stateside as the first single from her self-titled album and was Janet’s first R&B top ten hit. It also peaked at #63 on the Hot 100 and top 20 in New ZealandSay You Do was the third single and peaked at #15 on the R&B chartsDon’t Stand a Chance was the first single from her second album “Dream Street”. It also landed Janet her second R&B hit (#9) Edited October 13, 2017 by State of the Game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janetDAYZ Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 (edited) Well with the Rock Tour example I was speaking more about that being the first time she performed songs that she had never done live .. Say You Do, Another Chance, FHTF, she brought back "You Want This" which she hadn't done since janet.Tour. That tour just marked the first time she had any kind of shakeup of the usual setlist.

This is the first time she’s performed non-singles from previous albums on tour. She’s performed most of those songs live (not on tour since her first tour was Rhythm Nation) But she has performed YWT in her last three tours (Rockwithu, #1s, Unbreakable)... it’s not like New Agenda or 24Play or What About, or Spending Time With You, WAYN, TBTLY Edited October 13, 2017 by State of the Game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 (edited) Janet invited her former dancers... should she invite her brothers up on stage? Not Latoya Edited October 13, 2017 by State of the Game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I think its pretty clear Janet and certain "Jackson" family members have no love lost Hell when was the last time we even saw Latoya? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreelovesJJ Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I know Gil had been trying to get her to come out that shell. There's a lot of things she's done on this tour that has made it one of her best tours. She's never been so direct as her opening is - it's actually chilling when you watch it. The sound bites are direct and epic. Her performing nonsingles FINALLY gives that mystique to her shows that I've always talked about - nearly EVERY fan wants to see her explore her catalog. Gil knows that. His pulse with the fans is solid & this might be his best creative direction so far IMO. Fans fall in love with your catalog not just your singles. Matter of fact, less with singles. This tour shows her versatility musically & it also reminds people she's been more than a sex symbol. It's the most successful pull off of "classic me with a modern twist" this is what it was always supposed to look like. It's very purposeful that she's leaned into her most nostalgic & iconic look. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_KINGSEANCOURT_ Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Well, Number Ones she performed When We Oooh once. lol But yeah, I love the non singles or at least songs she hasn't performed before or in such a long time on the setlist. It's a good look. Hell I want her to add I Want You, Every Time, China Love, Lessons Learned, Tonight's The Night, My Baby, Enjoy (idk why she ignores this). But I'm happy with what she is giving on this tour tho. Never thought I see her perform any of those songs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that. As i've said before I think Gil is doing a good job this time around as the creative director. I'm wondering if Janet will ever perform "Again" again? I know her voice has changed so i'm wondering if she can't hit the notes she used to especially the long note at the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been out for 24 years and it's the first time she hasn't performed it. I'm seriously cool with that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laveaux Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I still can't believe she fixed her mouth to sing the number 7 track off Damita Jo...I've always closed my eyes and fantasize that she would but what a welcomed surprise when she did so. #nothingbetterthan 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gil did say "we finally got through to Janet" but I think it was initially Gil's idea to change it up based on him saying to Janet "your audience knows what songs you're gonna group together,girl " lol Edited October 14, 2017 by janetDAYZ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that she's performed 1 of 4 of my dream songs if she did "Feels So Right", "Lonely" or "SloLove" i'd lose my shit 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeJoe Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I just checked on ticketmaster and she has plenty of tickets available. I don't think she should've continued with the show tonight but maybe she didn't wanna postpone and people talk shit thinking she's gonna start cutting off shows like she did last time.
