Of course if anyone asks me a question “How was #JanetJackson tonight?” the answer is self-evident #Metamorphosis really is Janet at another level. Think even the hardest core fan was blown away with the entire production.
The staging was insanely creative for Vegas & Janet used her dancers & band members/ singers to the fullest. Colourful costumes, multiple changes & scene settings.
The setlist is hands-down Janet’s best ever for a tour. Some of the deep-cuts she channeled were mind-blowing. “Empty” as an opener - total left-field. The return of “Trust A Try” & “Rock With U”- hurrah! Best of all - “RnB Junkie”. THUD! No “Take Me Away”
Or “Can’t Be Stopped” - would have made it the most perfect setlist ever ❤️❤️❤️ Equally the show has a narrative arc which was great & shows Janet at different levels of her career & personal life - especially brilliant being pulling all the “Control” hits together and paying homage to the Control video with her band & singers, and then the “Rhythm Nation” segment with all the uptempo singles, & “The Knowledge” - and this show is acknowledging 30 years of its impact - was virtually like watching the Rhythm Nation Tour again, including the staging. Very canny & moving. Nostalgia at its most dazzling.
Some songs were performed in full, when normally paRt of a medley. That made the show really feel all the more special.
Janet looked & sounded so happy, her & the dancers right in their choreography. A total, total triumph.
******************* Then the Meet & Greet. Very nervous & emotional, and it was quick, but I did take the time to tell Janet about my tattoo of the lyrics of Can’t Be Stopped - my fave JJ song - and how it influenced me. She was surprised, thankful, told me she loved me (WHAAATTTT) & off I skipped into the night with $600 Of merchandise.
Best of all - I get to repeat this all again tomorrow night!
HANDS DOWN THE BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE - I only wish mum was here to have seen it.
So amazing it also to experience the show in the front row with Lee Orridge - we met at Janet in Dublin in 2011 & have travelled the world ever since seeing Janet, cackling like banshees #janetjackson
