Your accusing me of making excuses for a tour that hasn’t played out! Yet, it’s fine for you to the gun and claim that Janet wouldn’t have seen 100 million at the end of the tour … but, I’m the one rattled though?

You may think that I veered off the topic, but I simply listed different factors that indicated how I come up with the conclusion I did. I’m doing damage control? Yet, you’re in here hot and bothered, giving us your best write up for this tired smear campaign! I’ve addressed the tour in my opening and closing sentence, everything in between simply focused on Janet’s ability to obtain success despite obstacles (like SB and lengthy periods of not releasing material).

Janet’s not bothered! … nor should her fans be! You can’t erase her iconic past and what it means to those that felt her impact! I truly hope Janet makes this return in 2017 because there’s no doubt in my mind that Janet will snatch herself a 100 million grossing tour! That said, I don’t need a bunch of generic hits from Janet now, I just need great albums and tours from this point on! Since folks are always comparing, it should be noted that Janet’s Unbreakable actually sold ONLY 7k less than Madonna’s ‘Rebel Heart’ (which I find interesting because Madonna’s the ONLY legend to have enough radio support this decade to place a single in BB’s top 10, which really shouldn’t come to anyone’s surprise because she’s the most celebrated female artist). Janet went away for 7+ years and still earned a historical #1 album.

Janet’s numbers are respectable for the first leg! Several of those dates (with audience capacities ranging from 10K – 20k) were sold out! Janet’s touring success isn’t dependent upon her being in the public eye! She have a very solid reputation for being a capable performer and she’s proven (no matter how long the wait) to have a faithful following that will support what she does next! She’s never had an album debut lower than #2 (and this was the case even after the Superbowl). Good luck, Miss Jackson! Love you Speaks, bye. Especially, if all you’re going to do is release the album & pay it dust. So, if she doesn’t retire all together… Hopefully, she just tours (if people are still willing to pay too see her) and quit recording new music. I hate to admit it but Wendy Williams is right … Don’t nobody wanna hear new music from these old(er) diva’s (or Divo’s for that matter) anymore. Control, Rhythm Nation, Janet, Velvet Rope & All For You will always be played in my lil household. But, better late than never I guess…… The multi-million $ question is whether or not her fans will be interested in wanting to spend another dime on her ever again tho? Cancelling shows is a huge no-no! Playing with peoples money & time can get a b**** killed-T!Īll in all, she’s had a great career. 50 is kinda old to be producing children. I do wish her well in trying to start a family tho. I don’t wanna see you up there in ONE costume, all covered up like some nun. But, her business/promotional/professional skills sucked this time around! Also, I hate how covered up she was this tour. She can still dance her ass off & whisper down. To be fair, her dancing skills & whispers aren’t the problem at all. This could’ve been a really good comeback & a huge financial success on her part, if she would’ve came back right. She didn’t do any interviews, no promotional performances, no high impact dance videos… Just nothing. Truth be told, this era was so sloppy & bizarre. The State of the World tour is a continuation of the Unbreakable tour and will include fan favorites from her chart-topping Unbreakable album, an array of her socially conscious music she’s released throughout her career, and other smash hits and soon-to-be released new tracks with a state of the art live production.Po’Jan. Since, she has taken the past year to enjoy pregnancy and motherhood, and is now ready to return to the live stage to give Janet fans everything they could hope for in one epic concert event. The legendary entertainer began her sold out Unbreakable tour in August 2015, but just one year ago she reached out directly to fans via Twitter with news of her focusing on starting a family, confirmed months later with the arrival of her first child. Tickets held for previous Unbreakable tour events that are now rescheduled will be honored at the new dates. Tickets for the newly scheduled dates will go on sale on May 5th. Louis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Boston, Philly, Memphis, Jacksonville, as well as head north of the border to include Vancouver and Toronto, with her final stop on December 17th in Atlanta at Philips Arena. Jackson will make multiple stops in Texas and California, hit all four corners of the U.S.

Produced by Live Nation, the State of the World Tour is set for a 56-city run beginning September 7th in Lafayette at the Cajundome. Janet Jackson will embark on a four-month North American tour this fall.
