No as she was selling less and less anyway (as most people were). But it would have done even better than it did. 

DJ was already expected to outsell A4U, b4 the super bowl

This reminds me of the Blackgama fiasco

 

That backlash ruined her career

The Human Rights Foundation should send letters to all artists performing in the USA too then

Holy damn Norman pickup on subtext my dude lol.. I’m actually agreeing with you.. obviously the SOTW intro montage had everything to do with Janet Jackson because of her history of philanthropy and humanitarianism, not to mention her RN1814 album and the themes she conveyed throughout that project.......

which is why....

she shouldn’t be doing performances in Saudi Arabia!

How don’t you understand that? When in reality I know that you DO understand that but you’ve already said why you’re ok with it—$$$. Sure, let fucking 50 Cent go and perform In Da Club and BTS can go and do whatever it is they do, but Janet “Rhythm Nation” Jackson?! That goes against her brand.....at BEST this is a stumble for her. It’s ok Norman to admit that.  

Who are you to tell her what she SHOULD be doing?

Janet’s perfect for this

I didn’t because Glastonbury tickets usually sell out months before acts are announced and when she was announced I couldn’t. Don’t try and belittle my opinion as if I’m not allowed one just because it’s not aligned with yours. 

You should watch “the call to courage” on Netflix.

you can’t critic someone if you arent in the arena with them.

I have never seen a fanbase to be so gotdamn critical of their fav

-her wig is fucked,

-ugly costumes

-hate her makeup

-she's gained weight again

- she lacked energy

- why no big production?

-FIRE GIL!!!

like, do other fanbases critique every strand of hair on their favs head like we do? Or am I tripping? I get ppl have opinions but my god.. Im really starting to realize how we are NEVER satisfied with Janet. Like...EVER

the people talking shit are just dissatisfied trolls

one thing I will say that I believe is kinda unique to us, is we have seen Janet Jackson at huge levels of success and people haven't adjusted their expectations in terms of what she does 40 years into the game........wait until Beyoncé 50

that's just one theory, I mean you have fans that were not around when Janet was "big" so how are they expecting her to do that now

I don’t understand why people have expectations when it comes to Janet. She’s repeatedly stated that she’s out to please herself

some people should’ve payed the extra and heard Promise of You

Now I'm writing this, I'm thinking about Janets Rhythm Nation Tour. Weren't her outfits there like.. almost all black? And wasn't the staging... black as well? No one complains about that tour and the color contrasts.

She also didn’t have 5 billion costume choices or show much skin

^ things that ppl complain about now and credit to her husband

Outfits for one, at least different colors. There were instances where you could hardly see her even on the jumbo screens cause her black was going against the black of the screen so the contrast was horrible. Production also could've been way better. When you do Glastonbury you go there to show tf out, period. Janet did a good job for what she gave but she could've done much better. I'm not gonna point out every bad thing but let's not act like we haven't seen Janet kill it just a few months before Glastonbury. Global Citizens fest was just last year and she ate that stage up. She also just did the MTV EMAs and killed it.

“When you do Glastonbury you go to show tf out?” Are you speaking from experience? 

Janet’s bigger than Glastonbury, and at a stage in career where she can do whatever tf she wants, and everyone else will just have to deal. She’s earned it. 

Sorry you disagree with her artistic choices

People didn’t - they weren’t sold out shows. 

Stay mad that she delivered a shit show and got dragged for it 

 

Who is mad? 

I saw the performance online, and I enjoyed it.

shit show? Are u a world class entertainer? Who are you to judge her? Her “shit show” is probably better than your best. 

Who did she get dragged by? Internet trolls? The great depressed? People that matter?

RN wasn't big here but yes it still iconic and well known. RN got one of the biggest response. What we are saying is concentrate on those well known songs...deep cuts like RNB Junkie, COGU, TAT are not gonna be that appreciated being performed here, ESPECIALLY a Glastonbury crowd. 

Why would she concentrate on her hits when she’s over that? That was 8yrs ago, ppl bought tickets for those shows. She knows they want something different, and she has nothing to lose by performing her album cuts. She’s already Janet Jackson. 

And judging by how she performed the next day, she wasn’t bothered. 

It’s her career, let her run it her way. If you don’t like it, oh well, but you aren’t a world renown entertainer to critiqué what she does.

Janet isn’t royalty in the UK for her to demand that kind of respect. Be grateful they accepted her money to get a slot. 

U mean, be grateful that she showed up and even gave 50 minutes, because she clearly wasn’t pressed to perform in Europe.

My point is it was Glastonbury. The setlist should have been songs for the people attending, not the diehard fans. How are you going to perform after 8 years in the UK and miss out the songs that people actually know you for in the UK. Rhythm Nation 1814 lowkey bombed in Europe. You do songs that people know you for, not songs that your diehards know that probably weren’t in attendance. But that’s all been said in the Glastonbury thread 

So u wanted her to do Glastonbury with a SOTW setlist? 

The last time she performed Europe, she specifically did her #1s. 

It’s the anniversary of RN and that’s what they got, if Glastonbury wanted more, they would’ve given her more time

Choreography could be way better

I think it’s the outfit. It doesn’t showcase the choreo well

Festivals must be different than, because its true Janet usually opens or closes. But Im glad to hear on the ground from a source how she's received at these events, I dont think Ive ever attended a festival

Umm even at Global Citizen, people thought they heard gunshots, and they were all spooked, they stampeded away. But came back just so Janet could close out the night. 

Janet does open or close, but Kylie has the legend’s slot that night 

On 7/2/2019 at 11:51 PM, EphraimAdamz said:

She should of closed the festival as a headliner anyways. Her whole outfit, stage, and lights were made for night. Unbreakable, SOTW, Global Citezen, and Panorama all look good because they are indoor with lights off or at night.

Even Kylie performed during the daylight, it’s summer

I had not thought about that, but for most of Janet's career she plays the opener or closer at shows, concerts, and award performances, this was by design not coincidence. At a festival of that size you want them at the beginning fresh start first night get people really excited to have fun. By some point festival goers have seen so many acts

At Panorama, the ground was muddy and the main stage was empty until Janet came out, the non Janet fans were standing around like WTF is happening. After a 90 degree day in the mud, Janet miraculously gave the crowd a burst of energy

I am worried somewhat about how she'll be received by the festival crowd. Not exactly her usual fan demographic (rock bands/indie etc)... Hope they have anchor-less feet.

She did just fine here at Panorma and Global Citizen, the crowd was hers

She IS an icon but just not a LEGEND yet. 

I think Dionne misspoke. I dont think Dionne knows the difference..no disrespect.

I think Dionne knows the difference, she just knows that she isn’t a legend, and she doesn’t want to fall into the same iconic category as Beyoncé... Dionne being a legendary icon

Janet has the most fickle, ungrateful, and all-over-the-place fan base. 

There are only a few people that make sense when it comes to Janet and her all encompassing career.

 

Omg I feel like now I understand why people had to stay off the forum and Janet pages for a while. theGreatDepressed can be overwhelming

FB was more of a letdown simply bc FB is a track that has a heavy bassline and should be a dancers playground.. The beat is a DANCE track..and thats what they came up with? DB is danceable but not as much as FB. FB should have had choreo that rivaled RN and IF imo....and it wasnt even close.

Lets not act like the FB choreo is some masterpiece. 

FB looked cute bc it went with the video and her jumping from planet to planet and being and intergalactic goddess, but live.... if she doesn’t bring her lil planet thing with her, it just doesn’t hit as hard
