  1. Janet wore me and my husband OUT last night. It was my fourth time and his first, but neither of us had ever sat so close to a stage. We're both still in shock and my husband legitimately did not know what hit him. Over ten years later and I think he finally understands my love for Janet. She is truly flawless up close and her command of the stage and crowd -- even if she's just going through the motions being so many shows and tours in -- is still on an entirely different level. Loved the setlist, the transitions, the stage, (most of) the new choreo, etc. Also in spite of my hatred for that pink outfit, I loved that section live. She seems to connect with those deep cuts differently (her form of justice for Damita Jo and 20 Y.O. maybe ). I also had a moment with her during LWNDWY where she locked eyes with me and made my same hand motion for like six entire seconds, so I can die happy now. My husband literally had to punch me in the shoulder to bring me back to earth. The show is fantastic and as a longtime fan, I am so happy for Jan. She seems to be in such a good space and I've loved seeing her (slowly) get her flowers over the last few years.
  2. I believe they're gone for all shows. I spot-checked a few days ago and couldn't find anything. I passed up on the meet-and-greets and regret it SO much!
  3. Loving the show so far! It seems like she’s taken the overall production value, stage, song transitions, etc. up a notch and is eating it up. I see her second row in a few weeks and can’t wait! My only real gripe — I love seeing her wear colors but the pink outfit is so fucking ugly.
  4. Because I got locked out of the first one and the password reset didn't work. Plus I'm almost wholly ashamed of that account.
  5. I give Jan a ton of credit for Metamorphosis being as creative as it was, and the fact that we finally got "Empty" on a setlist still blows my mind. That said, SOTW was the better tour overall imo. She felt more present and energized than she had in a long time. I don't think she brought it at quite the same level for Metamorphosis. Also as creative as they were, most of the costumes for Metamorphosis were not great.
  6. 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.
  7. I got a call from his boyfriend yesterday that he passed away earlier in the day. He had been battling an unpredictable ailment for the last few years and it took him. I don’t know how not to personalize this because we were so close, but want to speak on him somehow for those who remember. He was always one of a kind but grew into such an evolved, otherworldly person in his later years away from the forum. Just a beautiful life to behold. I think he started out presenting an older age like I did, but he was younger. He was in his late 20s when he passed. I can’t begin to imagine what his family is going through. We grew up together in uncharted territory, and the conversations and experiences we shared were far deeper than I’d ever had with any other human before him, save my mother. That relationship kept on and rarely wavered. We grew each other tremendously and I owe so much to him. So crazy that a shared love of Janet Jackson across an internet forum could bloom something so deep and real. We talked nearly every day for the last 13 years and I can’t wrap my head around the silence. We had gone too long without visiting one another and were plotting a reunion before COVID hit. I can’t begin to express how much I’m going to miss him.
  8. She confirmed that she’s experimenting with fado, and she appears to have moved away from the songwriting camps after bashing them on Instagram earlier in the year. My interest is piqued. Yes. MDNA > Rebel Heart > Hard Candy.
