She's Backkk! Janet Hits The Verizon Center to Rock Witchu!

MORNING WORLD! Lawd have mercy, ya'll! Last night, I found myself front row to the second stage, dancing and singing along to Janet, or Ms. Jackson if ya nasty! Home girl blew the roof off that joint, rocking classics from as way back as 1982's Young Love off her self-titled LP to most recent jams as So Much Betta off of Discipline. My o my, it was really cool to be that close to such a musical legend. Now granted the show didn't start until about 8:45 or so, but shoot, better late than NEVER. LOL! Now had she canceled/rescheduled this tour date as she's done so many others, I definitely could see myself wanting to kick her ass, like a few of the folks that were with me last night. Before the show, folks were chatting it up with their complaints about having to spend more money to come to the DC show or complaining about how screwed up it was for her to have canceled/rescheduled those other shows, but guess what folks, artists are people too and just like you, they call in sick too! But that dag-on damn LL Cool J didn't show up ya'll!! WTF!? I mean, did I miss something?? I'm like what does he have to do other than make crazy Old Spice commercials or hawk clothes through Sears?!? GEEZ! Oh yeah, there was quite a stir when shorty b-bop, Jermaine Dupri, came through the arena to grab a seat and watch the show. Man, folks were having a fit, taking photos and what not. At any rate, the time off must have done Janet good because her entertainment switch was ON as soon as she finally hit the stage to one of her classics, Pleasure Principle.

Shoot, I can't remember exactly every song that she did because I got in "the zone" and lost my mind dancing/singing and all those true fans know EXACTLY what that's like - LOL! Now, there were many true fans in attendance last night, but naturally there were SOME folks who thought they were standing up watching TV or something - standing around, looking indifferent. Geez, got on my fucking NERVES! I mean, don't watch me because I make no apologies for wanting to have a good damn time. Besides, who comes to a concert to just look cute!? NOT I! I gets D-O-W-N! LOL! Anyway, my absolute FAVORITE part of the show was watching Janet "torture" this dude she hand-picked from the audience and boy o boy, his facial expressions were TOO FUNNY! But enough of me, check all the videos from last night and from other tour dates. I'm working to get my photos posted on Flickr soon, so look for those later. Peace!
