I'm doing a video on Janet's impact. Im looking for the first performance of her ever using a headset mic. Anyone know when it was?

An interview Ive never seen before.. Let me not call it "RARE" since Norman seems to have seen and/or heard every single clip,piece or snippet of Janet's recording career. He must have some inside connection with Janet's camp. Who knew?! Anyway..this was an interesting interview

 

Damn she said they would never all tour together and they never did.

So we gonna pretend Ciara isn't a Dancer and a model in her own right?

using ciara to distract from the topic i see

His target for an audience is not for the younger generation anyway tf. Anytime a "reunion" or "anniversary" tour is put together..its for the crowd that grew up in that era. What JD was tryna put together for this tour was no different than Diddy putting the Bad Boy Reunion tour together a couple years ago. Its for the nostalgic experience for an "older" crowd 

I said 30+ I used to DJ at skating rinks when I was 14 and play those artists on teen lock in nights. What I'm sayinG though is the 90's Block Parties tours seem to have better promotion. No one remembers what So So Def is unless you're from Atlanta  Ruff Ryders, Bad Boy, people remember that.. hell Flip Mode Squad

Not sure what you mean by “this generation”... like you mean your (our) generation? Or the younger generation? 

So So Def is not a household name for those under the age of 25. Heck... Def Jam barely is.

Janet gonna do whatever she wants, but wouldn't it be better to perform at some festivals in Europe like she did here? That way casual listeners can be reminded of how talented she is.

This is the first time I'm even hearing about it.

He should of did something similar to the 90's Block Party tours. House of Blues venues, and cater to the 30+ crowd. No one knows what So So Def is or means in this generation.

His best artists are no longer on his label ^

.

All of this is irrelevant until her team gets her catalog on YouTube 

U kinda shady skipping the Make Me era and Damn Baby era acting like queen didn't have a career lol but it was good

Scratch that. My friend reminded me it's because so much music now isn't family friendly. I didn't think of that. 

I'm not sure if it is because of streaming. But since I rarely turn on the radio, I only use YouTube, Spotify, and Pandora to discover new music. 

Something I've noticed is that there are artists that are always in the media, but you can spend a whole day at the mall and not hear a single one of thier songs. For example, Kendrick Lamar... super famous, but I can spend a whole day outside and not a single car driving by is playing him. However walk into someplace as simple as Walgreens and thier playing Escapade. Why do you think this is? 

Just finally release the tour. Any unreleased songs from that era would be a nice addition as well. No need to re-release the whole album tho. 

Nice. Hope we see new outfits

Easily RN and All For You. 

Her YouTube era fans will remember Feedback and Made For Now

So far we have a Latin/Afro/Caribbean theme, no?

its from 2008-2011

Nice try. It was a weak attempt at a theme of nothing 

She still performs Island Life because it’s the only thing worthwhile on that album  

Jimmy and Terry always said that Janet was never ready to make an album anyways, that was all record label thirst.

Looking for an old photo of Nicki Minaj photobombing Janet. Not the green wig one. I think it was like a Marge Simpson style wig. Janet is looking in a totally different direction paying her dust

Hey Janet gurl! We see you bitch! We getting litty tonight 

I thought everyone here knew Janet's impact in Asia. BoA, Namie Amuro, and Utada Hikaru all love Janet

Well I would too. I'm sure with all these performances she can't afford to get sick

It’s not really working though. The Asian fans seem to be really hyped for this one though

Yes their comments are heartfelt to read. Janet's been with them since the Laser Disc commercials or whatever lol. I hope we get some Asian collabs out of this

Well to do all these award shows first then tour after makes more sense to build hype

 no she did not have young people. 

She had 90s nostalgic people excited.   

I said curious, I didn't say they were excited

Regardless, like most artists that perform at the Superbowl, her older material went up the charts on iTunes briefly. She could of at least put new music on there to keep the conversation going.
