At 57 years young, Janet (miss Jackson if you're nasty!) still tears up that stage and brings you back to a time when amazing choreography, live vocals and making it all about the music reigned supreme. I swear, this woman has been preserved in time. She cried, we cried, everybody cried! We go to a A LOT of concerts, but this one was something special. Between the nostalgic images that flashed on the screen from all of her magazine covers, award shows and memorable moments, we felt like we were transported back in time and at a private concert with an old friend. She engaged with the crowd and seemed so genuinely appreciative to be there with us. The venue is such a great spot when the weather is on your side. Sound quality was amazing and her band was on point! Like dropping a needle on the record.
Opening act was fantastic too! Ludacris was SO MUCH FUN! As was the DJ who warmed up the crowd with all the R&B classics. It was like being at a house party in the 90s...everyone was dancing. Everyone!
Janet is definitely one of those bucket list concerts. I have been waiting to see this woman in concert since I was 12 years old and I am now in my mid 40s. She is forever iconic and I am just so grateful that I not only got to see her live, but that she is everything you would think she is and more. My husband and I were on a high from this show for days, still humming and dancing along. This wasn't a concert - it was a celebration of love between her and her fans. We love you Janet - please come back soon!!!!!
