Janet Jackson concert review
Janet Jackson performed her Rock Witchu concert during the weekend at the Bank of Oklahoma Center in Tulsa.
She had recently postponed several concerts throughout the country due to an illness. So prior to the concert, I admit, I was nervous about whether she would become ill again, or whether she would be healthy enough to put on a good show.
As soon as she walked onto the stage and began performing, my fears were to put rest.
Donning a Mohawk hairstyle, Janet opened the show with her 1987 hit “What Have You Done For Me Lately.” She then performed a few recognizable songs including “You Want This,” “Alright” and “Miss You Much.”
Afterward Janet did a brief costume change and returned to the stage in a sultry red dress to perform a string of ballads including “Come Back To Me” “Again” and “Lets Wait Awhile.”
After another wardrobe change, she came back out to perform a mixture of old and new songs including “So Excited” “Together Again” “Nasty Boys,” “Escape” “Thats The Way Love Goes” “Love” and “Rhythm Nation.
When it came time to perform her duets with Nelly, Q-Tip and Dave Navarro, the three musicians appeared on a pre-recorded video and performed their verses while Janet sang on stage.
The concert concluded with the hit song “Runaway” from her “Design Of A Decade” greatest hits album.
Throughout the show she mostly performed her greatest hits with a little material from her recent album “Discipline.”
I was fortunate to sit in the fifth row, where I could get the full Miss Jackson experience up close and personal.
Despite the fact that she is 42-years-old, Janet still gave a high energy performance from start to finish. She danced during the entire show, and her choreography was on point.
She put Britney, Beyonce and Usher to shame. Janet has officially solidified herself as the queen.
Janet’s next show will be Nov. 1 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The eight shows that were canceled during the past month will be rescheduled.
