What would you say is her better recent show? State Of The World Tour(Leg 2)(SOTW2) Or Metamorphosis.

They both run for about 100 mins(1 hr and 40 mins) although Metamorphosis very slightly longer and they both show the variety of performance art capabilities that Janet has both mastered and work to her strength. Doing an intimate show and a full scale production.

They both showcase how giving and how much of a listening ear she has for her fans when it comes to our request of keeping or updating old choreography and even deep cuts no other pop legends her stature would dare do which gives her a reputation of a very Prince mastermind- like insight on how she creates the set list alongside her team and directors.

We base these shows off on:-

Setlist/Song Selection: Metamorphosis

Choreography: SOTW - much more and harder.

Memorable Intro: Metamorphosis (Empty!!!!!!) even though I would have loved a full flashing lights performance.

Costumes/Outfits: Metamorphosis, I think. Seemed more colourful. Wasn't really a fan of the football jersey get up. SOTW1 did it better IMO

 

 

I'm in the UK so don't get to see her perform.  I can only answer some based on YT clips.

As long as it’s near the end of the week or on a weekend, I’m good. I’m now Central time (I’ve been moving around the last few years). I’ll be flexible

Awesome.  What's a good time of day for you Miss Angie?  Are you on pacific time?  I forget.

Well a Sunday seems nice and chill. I think a evening for us in the UK/Europe would be your afternoon in the US?

Should we suggest a week from this coming Sunday? That would give enough time for some people to see the thread and decide if they wanna be part of it or not. Ive atted a few but, if you guys can think of anymore that somewhat still come here...

All For You was a strong album...but the order of the songs is homophobic

Its the main thing that initially put me off the album...I always skip WYM, that helps for me.

Yet im SURE I remember reading her say the pace was supposed to be like that...schizophrenic, up and down, kinda how she was feeling at the time.

I didn’t mean to be so self-indulgent, was just hard not to make it personal. I didn’t hear about Paul until this year and then this. There just aren’t words. So much loss, and they were so young.

 

I hope everyone is well! I miss this place.

Your're not being self indulgent at all and here is as good as any considering how your bond was formed. Hope you can find some comfort here.

I vaguely remember the name but not the character.  The more things like this happen, the more im inclined to partake in a video call meet up as @Selzsuggested in another thread...for anyone who wants to partake.

Take care for now 

Come Back To Me on the radio right now! Im shocked sitting here with a big ass grin on my face

Mariah and Whitney didn't? Idk if they fully count cuz they did R&B later, but both of them started out with mostly pop music.

Id argue they were bigger in their pop days over here

I still don't think black pop does well overseas period. What black pop artists have made it big over there?

What black pop artists are there? Anyway, I think the poster above is more on the ball

I think New Jack Swing was mostly an American phenomenon, that didn't have much reach overseas.

I think you hit the nail on the head. I know UK have always appreciated smooth polished RNB pop sounds here...the hard industrial New Jack mood not so much

which is weird because the UK loved those 2 songs and you're right if they play any song off of RN it's Escapade. I've heard UK Janet fans say the same. I don't think black pop was ever big in the UK so maybe that's why

It doesn't get any more black pop than Whoops Now  and as i said they still play Control songs...I've even heard All 4 You a few times recently. For whatever reason, RN as a whole didn't translate. 

Not in the UK at least. Im listening to alot of radio working from home and im hearing ALOT of Control songs played, but never RN. If it is, its Escapade.

I hear Whoops Now and Best Things more than anything off of RN!

I dont wanna come off as rude, but is this what our society does now? We base our views/opinions on emoji and  what someone "liked" on SM?  I personally dont think that gives us enough information to say which political figure she may support, if any. She may have just liked the jist of what her brother was saying???

I think society needs to learn to be a bit more objective. For example, I might (not saying I do) agree with one or two Trump (or any other politicians) policies/action.     Doesn't mean I like or support that person and their party. But I can recognise and say "actually, I do agree with that point/sentiment/whatever" they made.

She needs to go back to promo only tweeting. This latest tweet it’s the fact that she probably doesn’t even know what’s being posted half the time because she surely isn’t doing it.

Whoops Now

 

And again today

I like both but AN has aged better. AN wins on all the other counts for me too.

I only knew about Slave 4 U...had no idea about Toxic

ok im actually confused...i know one of Britneys songs was originally for J...now im not sure which i knew about before

I hear a few days ago. Slave 4 U was also given to Janet and she declined for obvious reasons. I'm still shocked Pharrell offered a song with the word "Slave" in the title to a black woman. 

things were not so sensitive back then.
