Took me a few different views but it's a very solid performance. Absolutely loved the production value, the theme and how it really didn't just sit on her past work and they used it as a platform  for MFN. 

Only 2 gripes is the BDSM outfits that keeps popping up in a lot of her performances for awhile now and I think Fallon performance captures the essence of the song better and would have translated to a full stage and set 100x better... 

But loved the performance. Glad to see she is still bringing it! 

Meh... I don't like whatever they did to her vocals.. They took away the '' coohness'' so to speak. 

Interesting.. I have to find some songs he worked on.

Yes WE as fans did but I think the gem pop doesn't get it.. It's good to finally get the real story in the public discord. 

The racism part comes into play  because Timberlake exposed the Nip! From a simplistic standpoint she was a victim... Imagine if a rapper exposed Arianna Grande nip during her performance ... Who would actually take the blame?!??!  

Seems like Janet's new team has finally embraced the new social media age.. It's a good look! 

Maybe the make up is different (looking older) due to it meant to be shown in black and white??? Dunno 

^sounds like such a great experience! Very glad you were able to attend. Thanks for sharing!!! .. 

Does this air on TV?

Idk why fans are pushing for an EP. what’s the purpose of putting out 5-6 songs? Like why bother? No.. I didn’t wait three years for 5-6 new songs. 

No where in Janet’s history has she made an EP or has an EP ever been needed. She’s an ALBUM ARTIST 

So Why start now? 

Only way I think an EP makes sense and I think this is what Dal thinks will happen.... She drops EP this year to keep reestablishing herself an keep her out there in the spot light than WHAM.. she does Full album an tour after performing SUPERBOWL. highly doubt she performs but you never know...

Honestly!!! I can’t stop watching this performance!!! It’s easily in her TOP 5 Best Live Performances of her career on network television/cable/outside her tours!!! That second breakdown is the most brilliant presentation of choreography and visuals Janet has done in YEARS!!!

1. 1993 VMAs Performance 

2. 2000 VMAs Performance

3. 2018 Jimmy Fallon Performance

4. 2001 MTV Icon Performance

5. 1990 VMAs Performance

Honorable Mentions:

2009 AMAs Medley

2008 TRL Performance

2006 BBMAs Performance

1990 AMAs Performance 

 

 

Hold up now....How can you exclude her X Factor performance?!

I know the first half is '' Nothing'' but still...  

I gave the song the kids test....Showed my toddlers the performance and they were grooving right with it. Asked was it Moana?!  

Took me like 10 replays to actually get into the song but the performance and the video really hit it home for me. As far as streaming and sales.. Numbers are numbers she is 52.and we who are fans are grown up now so she'll never get those killer numbers unless Bruno collab is something crazy good. 

But it's a very solids and Iconic look and video . I hope this can be her big comeback in the later stage of her career that she deserves. Aretha, Tina Turner and Cher all got that final big Era later in there careers and I hope this will be her big run

By the way she is still Killin the moves!!!

 Definitely the best "Late night" show performance she's EVER done. And I would go on to say one of the best televised performances she's ever done PERIOD!

Beat me to it! I was thinking the exact same thing... Damn near better than Billboard

Janet would literally be #1 on iTunes if....

If MFN has legs it shouldnt matter in long term. 

My smoke detectors in the house made sure I caught the video in the middle of the night! All of them in the house just went dead one by one within 5 minutes.. The video gods said tgou shall wake to see Janet's video!! 

Great video.. Probably not overly expensive, doesn't take huge money for food video .. Glad to see her put more effort into her videos. I think her old team probably didn't see the neccesity in investing in videos  but for the type of artist she is they have to treat at it as a loss leader. She may never get the full benefit from it but her brand demands it. 

I actually love the pace of the and look of the video. It's off beat a bit and it's very unique. Great addition to her tapestry. This should spawn a ton of remixes. So looking forward to those (coming from a rNb Janet fan) 

'' Your Creator'' is as unocuous as you can get for religious overtones. We were all created one way or another 

This gets aired on TV right?! 

Game time!!! Who knew I'd be still following J 25 years since Janet album

Could u imagine the hstr if she actually did 17 siongs as suggested in the article .. Half of our Favs cut?!?!!? 

I'm surprised she is going with a feature 1st by another artist considering the Bruno collab will be on the same album. It'll be interesting to see what the strategy is this Era. 

From what I've been able to see of the live clips it looks like the set list  has a really good pace. And they have pulled off mixing in a lot of deep cuts at the right points in the show to not disrupt the flow/ energy. I think she has finally pulled that off to a T! Only thing I've been mad about is IGL not getting its proper due on any of her tours since AFY!! minor gripe but love the tour!
