Naw I see this as a chance for her to go educate. A real humanitarian would go and try to make change. I'm sure she feels her music can make a difference there. Ya'll got it backwards. If it was Michael Jackson people would be praising him.

It would be a different context, different story if she had previously gone to SA on a Humanitarian trip first to establish a sense of credibility to whatever “education” she would be able to provide to the people and leaders of a Human Rights violator country. But no, instead she last minute decides to take a check and a private luxury jet to go and entertain alongside 50 Cent and DJ Aiko 

and when MJ went to South Africa he met with Nelson Mandela first

Maybe listen to her multi-platinum album Rhythm Nation 1814 to find your answer

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.

Pretty sure her National US tour intro was about the United States

Was she murdered unlawfully by police? No

so what did it have to do with janet Jackson  

Not to mention:

guess where the 19 terrorists on September 11th came from.........?

any guesses.............

What that gotta do with Janet Jackson? 

By that logic then...wtf was her opening montage/statement for the SOTW all about since it had nothing to do with Janet Jackson..?

stay woke or stay sleep... u decide

I just didn't know they could keep people captive who aren't even from their country just for speaking out.

Different country, different laws..

you never heard of North Korea?

As weird as her doing Dubai, right?! No. Ok. Moving on

When did Dubai slaughter and dismember a US journalist solely because they didn’t want that journalist to continue to alarm the rest of the world about their Human Rights violations and proceed to conspire with the Trump administration to lie to the world about it...?

Just now, Rock & Roll Hall of Game said:

She ain’t doing no free show.. tf? 

Yup! And it’s big enough

I’m not above calling out those who display hypocritical behavior......you seem to be fine with it tho (shocker!)

damn! You think they'd actually hold Janet and her team captive?

The trump administration would have to get involved and the only way they’d be let out is if they promised to give Trump a public-on-camera “thank you”

this shit is weiiiird y’all cmon 

Just now, Rock & Roll Hall of Game said:

That’s not her problem and she already was married to a billionaire who does business in Saudi 

Janet’s laughing all the way to the bank bishes. King Eissa has needs

So since she was married to a wife abuser should she do a free show for prisoners convicted of spousal abuse?

But I guess with the logic you’re using—if then check is big enough, fuck it!

just stop it. This ain't about Dubai. This is about Jeddah and Janet's team is just ignorant for doing this. Even Nicki Minaj pulled out of performing there. Janet is being dragged right now by her fans and the Only way she can justify this is during her performance she speaks out against how they treat women and gays period

If she did that I don’t think her nor her crew would be let out of the country...there’d be repercussions

Saudi Arabian leaders knew about and directed the slaughter and dismemberment of Washington Post reporter (and US resident) Jamal Khashoggi just within the last few months and Trump sided with SA so that their arms deal worth billion$ could continue to move forward...

yet she displays images during her SOTW concerts that depict racial and social injustices..

I love janet but she absolutely deserves to get draaaaaaggggggggggged for this and I lowkey look forward to her statement on why she chose to accept their invitation and payment

Is there a full version of the Montreux show to watch online somewhere?

when I saw the first set of videos I recalled what you said and yeah they aren't but the sound is clearly better and I appreciate improvement even if only slightly so. There is a really clear copy of Nasty out there and I think that is true HD maybe

 

That looks good but still it’s not True 1080p HD... actual 1080p looks crystal clear, like you’re looking through a window

I’m getting over medleys tbh but whatever

So she’s apparently supposed to start performing any minute once the current performer finishes his set... so my time math was off af..

anyways... here’s a live stream link:

https://www.giniko.com/watch.php?id=190

So apparently this is the BBC channel’s TV schedule for tomorrow.. since I’m in CA I believe the UK is 8hrs ahead of me so it would air at 11:30amPST and therefore 2:30pmEST

None of these are true 1080p High Definition. The only way they would be true HD is if the videos that were filmed on actual film had all their negatives rescanned and the video was re-edited shot by shot. And since most of her early videos were filmed on VHS/Beta they can never be upscaled to true 1080p.

but even still the clearer image and the better sound quality is worth the effort  

Blocked in Cali/US (duhh)

I heard that her performance will be televised or live streaming somewhere and I’m just trying to find out what time and channel/link?

my bad if I started a whole new thread for some bullshit

Literally EVERY song released has the “potential” of being #1... but...   

Wasnt that like... two tours ago?  Have I repeated that in two years? No? Then why bring it up? 

Imma take my seat and sip my beer loudly  

And feedback was how many albums ago yet here we are still discussing it..  

stay seated

Some Y’all are crazy FB being #1 is a joke. Some of y’all swear that RWU was better than it actually is  I cannot 

FB having the potential of being #1 was not a joke considering it’s been her highest charting single since AFY and it was the track that brought her back to Viacom stations (along with a nudge from LA Reid)...

what’s actually a joke is you repeating time and time again how Janet would never perform Twenty Foreplay ever and then boom she went and performed it dozens of times...

go sit down you don’t know shit

I will say forever that FB was on its way to being Top 10 if not #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart... it was that dope of a track

I was there opening night and it was legit an amazing feeling to be in the venue with every and having every song, every outfit, every special effect be an absolute surprise—completely unknown—and when she pulled out the Jacksons dance moves I lost my mind... she’s in this stage of her life where she’s doing what’s comfortable with doing and living her life the best way she knows how.... she knows she’s a walking corporation and her choosing to do this show, or any show for that matter, is her willingly choosing to provide dozens and dozens of people jobs that provide each of them the opportunity to say that they were able to truly live their dreams.. the show is amazing, the crew is amazing...and she is amazing!

looking forward to her SF date in September when I’ll be there with my 10yo daughter and my best friend for the last 15yrs (who I just convinced to go!)
