art Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 After reading the threads, I definitely see the points you're making. If Janet built her career on choreography, that's what her show should be highlighting. We have to bear in mind that Janet has been doing tours since 1990. And in that time, she has performed close to 400 shows (if not more), which includes ~2 hours of dancing. All of that pop and locking Janet is doing is taking its toll. No matter how in shape she is, she can't move like she once did. It's almost like asking Aretha to sing like she did in the 60s. It's just not happening. All performers do it. Mariah's not hitting E7s in her shows anymore. Whitney can't entertain a dead rat. Madonna isn't as energetic as she once was. You can't compare Janet to other performers and say she's not energetic. You have to let Janet stand on her own merits. I saw the show, she was energetic and dull at some points. Thank you Austin for understanding and being reasonable. By the way, I didn't say Janet isn't as energetic as other performers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
art Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 It set the standard thats when I became a fan... even during all for you era I still thought that the VR era was better and Janet was still in her prime then my opinion never changed since then. She doesn't have to do the same exact dance routine but she could switch it up and try new dance styles or new twists to old songs since this is for her die hard fans who have most likely seen all of her tours on dvd or actually went to them. Its nice to celebrate where you been but also good to expand on that and create something fresh if you can't do it the way you used to. I agree!

JoeJoe Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Doing a 2 hour show requires high energy, Joe Joe. Bless your soul. Um no. Mariah has performed for 2hrs and so has Britney. Are their shows high energy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanka Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 LMAO gerl after my own heart. What was dull in the show, save for the ballad section? "Nothing" was the only dull part for me. I walked out & got beer then got life to "Come Back To Me" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedvelvet Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 that isn't an either or...she is out performing current artists...that does not mean that she hasn't lost a step or two Yeah but u should stop and recognise that she's still better than the current ones and so just keep quiet. No point being negative it's only gonna make others think the current ones are better which is lies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Wonder Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 LMAO gerl after my own heart. What was dull in the show, save for the ballad section? Yeah the ballad section was a little underwhelming for me because the background music was drowning her out, at least from where I was sitting that's how it sounded. I thought "If" was a bit underwhelming as well with the exception of the breakdown. Even though I applaud Janet for changing the choreography of the second verse, but that's my favorite part. Other than that, I thought the show was 90% energetic. Janet moved around, commanded the stage, and did pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You obviously don't understand how draining touring can be for artists. Regardless of their limited talents. It still requires a lot of energy nonetheless.

art Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 She performed in one- or two-inch heels during the Control era, and the heels for "I Get Lonely" were extremely thick. She's wearing stilettos now, there's a massive difference. I guess you not knowing the difference says plenty about your profile as a woman. Tina Turner doesn't do a quarter of what Janet does now or has ever done. Save it. Aww, good for you, I'm glad Janet personally tells you and only you all of her secrets. How ridiculous. Ooo, they so sensitive I understand the difference but thanks for trying. Are you trying to say Janet didn't want wear those heels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its nice to celebrate where you been but also good to expand on that and create something fresh if you can't do it the way you used to. well on this tour Janet changed up Feedback, she has also changed up All for You (not a fan of Gils version), The Pleasure Principle (TVR tour....not a fan), Nasty (not a fan of this change either), and she semi changed how she does the If breakdown but Janet said in an interview that some songs and choreography are just iconic and that she isn't gonna change them.....and i agree with her, and most fans would be upset if changed her iconic choreo for example im only 19.....i would have been kinda disappointed if Janet changed her RN choreo, TTWLG, IGL, and other ones that i love just because she has done them on previous tours. Even though i saw her b4 for RWY, i just wanna see her live, and see her do the moves that she created, and those moves are special to me because i have grown up watching them on TV and on the internet.....and thats part of the magic when you go to see an artist like Janet live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Wonder Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Thank you Austin for understanding and being reasonable. By the way, I didn't say Janet isn't as energetic as other performers. Other than some hit and miss energetic moments, I thought she did well. I don't understand why she didn't take off them damn heels and dance to MYM. She know that's my song. But at the end of the day, we can all agree that the show is different from previous tours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still requires a lot of energy nonetheless. ok well take that into consideration when you talk about Janet's dancing cause she dances way more and way harder than them other bitches who just swing bad extensions all over the stage. What other female has danced like Janet in their 40s *feedback voice* I don't see her I ain't hating on Tina but I will come for her wig and any other artist when comparing them to Janet. Nobody better bring up Mary J. Blige either cause i'm so ready Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But "90%... pretty well?" You weren't saying that last week. Ooo, they so sensitive I understand the difference but thanks for trying. Are you trying to say Janet didn't want wear those heels? Obviously you don't. For those reasons? I highly doubt it. And to say so as if it were fact is just ignorant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at the DC show, about 20 feet from the stage, and about 10 from the speaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
