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.
