Janet Jackson made the second stop of her tour at the Key Arena on Sunday July 8^th.  She looked happy, and more vivrant than anything Q Tip could rhyme about.
Due to certain technical difficulties I missed 112’s opening performance - long story.  Janet’s show started off with a bang (literally) as she and her dancers brightened our night with the dancing that we all love.  Her white outfit was stunning – but it was those terrific abs that made it work.
           Janet made several costume changes throughout the show as expected - a couple of elaborate stage changes (overall the stage setup is incredible). From Opera-like dramatics to a fun toy box anthem made for a diverse presentation. She did a little lip-syncing, but a LOT of singing (I was pleasantly surprised) - she had a very light and airy vibe about her, smiling and laughing a lot. She looked so at ease too. Lighting was fantastic (as expected) and her band was tight. I kinda miss the old Chuckii Booker days tho....

The set consisted of a few tracks from the new album All For You, but she brought out the old skool ish too – “Nasty”, “Rhythm Nation”, “Black Cat”, “Alright”, “Escapade”, “Miss You Much”, “If”, and more.... The only issue I had with the old stuff is that some of the choreography had been revamped, so it didn't go over as well in my eyes. It was still impeccably performed regardless.
I was somewhat laid back the first part of the show, just watching quietly, but after a few songs I HAD to give in because the vibe was just too good to NOT let it hit me.

She was engaging and beautiful, in true Janet form.
