Well I don't think anyone checks this regularly anymore - but if you're pulling up to the Hollywood Bowl show tonight - hit me on my social media - @joshuamore.  I may have a D'usse shot* for you - while supplies last. 

I went to the Janet show last weekend in Charlotte. Was crazy. Janet caused a traffic jam and although I left in time to see Ludacris' set, I didn't end up at the arena until Janet was already on stage but I still saw most of it - except maybe the 1st 3 or 4 songs. I had a time. I went with my family - and I'm not sure if they knew how hype I would be haha.

Thankfully, I get to see her again next month at the Hollywood Bowl + it's BYOB!

Fast as those M&G go. Just save your money and buy a front row ticket and have someone take your picture with her behind you. It isn’t worth the money. You literally speak and say “Hi” and they snap the picture and tell you next you can’t even get a full sentence out without being told next. The fact they’re charging 2K for that is mind blowing. 

I'd probably be so in awe that Hi is probably all I could eek out. Ha!

Hey Hoes!!!

I’m someone many of you liked, I am someone a few of you disliked. I once was a teenager raising hell. 
 

Being here I was surrounded by some controversy!! I’m back to cause a little more controversy. 
 

The from is so dead these days. So I thought I’d come back and raise a little hell and get you bitches talking. 
 

Can you guess who I am? Study long, Study wrong. 

Gotta be UK brad.

This is dope. Never too late. Welcome to the journey!

Do we know if these sold out for all of the dates?  I don't think they offered them for the LA dates but now I want one if at all possible.

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE who caught that I mean the only trap janet songs are dammn baby and dream maker so idk what she was talking about

I think she was saying she isn't opposed to working with Janet and then she expanded further to say she would be down to collaborate with any genre of music but she's not sure if she could do well with trap. I didn't take as her saying Janet had anything to do with trap.

I personally wouldn't consider dammn baby or dream maker to be a trap song. 

I was expecting a new tour announcement or album announcement at the conclusion of last night's doc.

No. Harmony Samuels

Towards the 5 o'clock hour DNICE dropped that's the way love goes. MC Lyte comments - let me try to get Janet in the club!

And Janet comes on and now he is doing a Janet medley giving the queen her FLOWERS!

DNice on IG live.  It's going up!

She replaced doesnt really matter with so excited but she didnt perform the choreography with the dancers

Did you have good seats? I'm trying to figure out what a good seat means in that theatre.

Empty is classic Janet

RWU is the Great Value Janet

I got that party - sorry. I meant the "same goes for Empty" part.

MFM across the board bc Janet co-wrote and co-produced it with Harmony & Jimmy Jam/Terry Lewis 

RWU “made before it’s time” is an inside joke between us JanFam. It has no real meaning behind it except “it shouldn’t have been released as a single”

Same goes for Empty.. except Empty is actually classic Janet and RWU is some knock off walmart Janet

What does this line mean? 

MFN wins in my book.

Anybody happening to be going this weekend?  Particularly Friday?

So I'm trying to pin down a date to go see the show in Vegas.  Does anyone know how one can get a meet and greet ticket or is it too late?

I love that she said "Im a little fucked up right now"

So I've been trying to figure out when Im checking out this show and good grief these tickets are high affff.

Will be there!

I watched this this evening and I give it 2/5.  I was at the show Weekend 1 and got to experience it in its granduer. The two stars is that it does get to zoom in on the masterful choreography details.

This is mostly a Beyonce hype piece that showcases the entirety (or at least almost the entirety - if not the whole) of her Coachella performances spliced together.  I have never cared for how she insists on splicing her concert footage with so many angles and with so much happening at once during this particular performance, I think it does a disservice to the energy and effort in order to highlight intricate details.

We learn that it took approximately 4 months to create the music and 4 months to rehearse the dancing.  That Beyonce was 200+ pounds when she gave birth and that she eventually wanted to work her way up to do SoulCycle, stairs, and rehearsals in a day. She had a difficult pregnancy. She always wanted to go to an HBCU, like her father did, and this was her tribute to the experience.

However, we don't see routines coming together, compositions being created, research being done, any imperfections that are being tweaked.  She could've did so much more with the time. It lacked a depth to it.  Not a compelling watch.

The tickets were already sold out when they announced her, in fact for this 1 in particular it's been sold out for a year I think.

Yes the cruise has been a big deal for yearrssss.

I wonder if Janet was just like chilling on the boat the whole time or did she like helicopter in? AHHHHH FOMO!

Honestly, the AFY tour was such a downgrade from TVR tour!!! Not bad by any means, but only because that tour set the bar SOOOOO high in terms of theatrics and production that Janet has yet to top it....and really doesn’t need to. The RWU tour came VERY close to beating it but it was soooo short lived and over time, Janet couldn’t commit to such an elaborate and lengthy show at her age at the time. Metamorphosis could be the show that brings her back to that level of visuals and production, as long as she doesn’t overdo it! Pace yourself momma! You have nothing more to prove! You still got it! Don’t try so hard and just do Janet!

I disagree! AFY was litty and legendary. From the moment she descends for Come on Get Up to that damn jean and long sleeve white crop top. Moments! Moments!

I thought the more tamer later shows was due of lack of label support.  She is still hitting the moves.

I was right by the stage for the golden circle for the RWU tour. I wore myself out. I think I slept the whole next day. Skipped class and everything lol.

I honestly miss being excited to see what she was going to do next on her tours what Grammy level extreme choreo she is going to whip out on her next tour. How it will sound like in which she can contain elements or a sample of an old song.

I miss being this awed and shocked of her performing new songs IN AND ONLY IN their respective eras:-

And sometimes you could change the concept with older songs but not the choreo

And sometimes you could change the choreo and not the concept with older songs

Or just gut both concept and choreo and make it a new remixed song with new choreo and concept.

 

Who was the creative director for the AFY tour? Was it Shawnette?
