Janet Jackson''s "Number Twos" Tour Ain''t Selling

Jacksons are so last-century.

"Number Twos" is a fitting name for how this is turning out

There may be no pyro, but you can bet your sweet ass those fucking storybook inflatable sets and a stool to cry on will be provided. She has yet to do a tour without them.

She has been canceling shows since Velvet Rope Tour because she does the same shit tour after tour after tour. Why pay to see the same shit over and over again?

Janet's number 2 concert is just like the Velvet Rope, but with different costumes. I loved the Velvet Rope, and have no problem if it's not different.

From press release:

"This tour will differ from her previous concert schedules in that she will perform music exclusively from her chart topping CD NUMBER ONES. There will also be a focus on venues that will allow Janet to be up close and personal in a much more intimate setting. This show is JANET more revealed, more intimate, and more personal than ever before. Don%E2%80%99t look for special effects. Just look at Janet."

Oh dear.

Don't look at us. We never went to her concerts.

What's the concert tour's advertising slogan?

"When you think of Number Twos, think of... JANET JACKSON!"

Hmm, should I book 2 weeks or 3 at the Garden next year? Maybe they'll just build a new, bigger venue for me and save me some time.

No wonder she's looking to marry some millionaire hubby.

At least they didn't call it b'day..

Pun intended?

i'll go.

"Why pay to see the same shit over and over again?"%0D %0D That hasn't stopped people from seeing Cher.%0D %0D OP is a bitter hater. False claims that aren't backed up.%0D %0D I'd see Jackson's show too. At least it isn't two hours of lame shit than no one has heard of. Jackson is smart enough to give her fans what they want, and not an ego driven has been desperately trying to recapture faded glory. %0D %0D And good for her on dropping the sexual antics. There's nothing more pathetic than pretending you're some hot piece of ass when you practically need a walker to get around stage. %0D %0D

If Janet Jackson is so smart, why aren't her "fans" buying tickets?

She didn't give up the sexual antics. She road a guy and simulated fellatio on him just a few months ago at the Essence festival.

She's atrocious!

Why can't Janet Jimmy and Terry make a decent album anymore? Thats all she really needs to do to get her fans on board again.

"Jackson is smart enough to give her fans what they want, and not an ego driven has been desperately trying to recapture faded glory."%0D %0D %0D %0D Please, the only reason she is doing this tour is to try to recapture faded glory. %0D %0D %0D "OP is a bitter hater."%0D %0D %0D Calling people haters is so third grade. Nothing sadder than a 40 year old acting like a kid (I know you're 40 because no one under 40 cares about Janet)

"For the love of God, somebody please shit in my mouth!"

No R17, I'm in my late twenties.%0D %0D And most of the people in my age range know and love Janet. Can't say the same about other entertainers from that era, who get a big "Who?" when they're named.

I'm a sad Janet Jackson fangurl!

She ROAD a guy?

Christ fucking almighty.

good god, no one told her "Number Twos" would be a bad name?%0D %0D Does she need the money?

" I lap up qweef splatter! "

r17/r20 = racist Janet Jackson hate troll. %0D %0D Bye cunt, go finger your prolasped hole to that old gristled bitch who shall not be named.

"And most of the people in my age range know and love Janet"%0D %0D %0D Liar, liar. You are making stuff up to try to prove a point. Young people don't care about Janet anymore.%0D %0D %0D R24 is just a dumb race-baiting troll who calls people racist when they don't like untalented black singers. I bet you think Rihanna is the best singer in the world. You're dumb.

I'm so sad that I have to stoop to calling people racist because they don't like one singer who is black! To qualify as a non-racist you have to love every black singer who ever had a hit!

I love Janet. Every other female pop artist just recycles what she did first.

" I finger bang my grandmother's old stretched out leather cunt daily! "

"You are making stuff up to try to prove a point."%0D %0D Whatever. Young people know Janet's hits.%0D %0D See, she didn't have a Lady Gaga come and knock her off her pedestal. %0D %0D I know that second part wounds you. Good. %0D %0D

No r25/26 you are a racist dolt that comes to shit on every Janet Jackson thread, without fail.%0D %0D Go wash your rancid cunt with your white hood bitch.

[italic]And most of the people in my age range know and love Janet. [/italic]

You're a fucking lunatic. No one knows or gives a shit about Janet under the age of 18. She's lucky if even any kids remember her being the old lady who popped out her tit with Justin Timberlake.

[italic]Young people know Janet's hits.[/italic]

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

lol @ r30. I love when the DL Black Panther bunch get riled up!

The Jacksons are over.....nobody is buying anything of theirs.

Janet will always have new gayling fans, as long as pop whores continue to reference her shit!

Who's referencing her shit? Nobody is talking about her but us!

Lady Gaga & Beyonce

[italic]Lady Gaga & Beyonce[/italic]

Oh, dear.

"No one knows or gives a shit about Janet under the age of 18."%0D %0D Now it's eighteen. %0D %0D I think it's funny that fans of a certain entertainer have to take their blazing hatred and bitterness over their idol's failures out on everyone else. %0D %0D Hey, I know Janet's best recording days are most likely behind her. I accept reality. Nothing more pathetic than people prentending a faded entertainer is still hip and relevant. %0D %0D You should just hope that grandma doesn't brake a hip on that stage sometime. All that moving around is dangerous for a woman of her advanced age. %0D %0D %0D %0D %0D %0D

[quote]Oh, dear.%0D %0D Oh dear nothing. At least they are more talented than that old wretch that shall not be named. Thats why I believe gays over 40 have no taste! You made her possible.

The fur thing was it for me and Janet. That was the end. What she did was despicable. I let the collaboration with Beenie Man slide.

On top of everything else, she hasn't made a decent album in nearly 14 years. Her last good one was "The Velvet Rope". She would be smart to go the artistic/experimental route, take the critical acclaim, not worrying about albums sales, because let's face it, she can't sell albums anymore. The sex thing has really gotten old anyway. I really do wonder if the woman was sexually abused as a child at this point.

I do know that she doesn't have a record label. She's going to be 45 this year, and if she releases another album, that won't come out until next year, which is when she'll be nearing 46. She is not going to sell to kids, and adults are not into her sex crap. She would be smart to go into more mature territory, something other than sex. I don't know if she'll take the hint though. She seems to be trapped in the same bubble her brother was in.

You have to also remember that she doesn't have a big back catalog. It's Control, Rhythm Nation, janet., The Velvet Rope, and "All For You" from the album, All For You. That's four albums, plus one song from a fifth for her to choose songs from. She does the same ones over and over again each time live. It's beyond boring. Look at Madonna, she has now 11 albums to choose songs from, and that doesn't even include her "Best of" albums which housed new material, and soundtracks. Janet doesn't even change the dance routines. The public doesn't want it, and I can't believe she isn't tired of doing the same dance steps all these decades. Her last tour was a bomb, and she had to pull out. She did like 10 shows, and canceled all the rest. She looked horrible on stage then too. She was beyond fat. I'm surprised she didn't have a heart attack dancing. Don't even get me started on the costumes.

She really gets on my nerves with that cutesy baby talk shit she always does in interviews. What the fuck is wrong with her? The whole family talks like infants. It ain't cute, honey!

At least she dumped Jermaine Dupri. All in all, she's done in terms of music. She could do more films, but it's not like she's going to win an Oscar. She's old, and she's black. There aren't a lot of roles out there fitting that criteria. Maybe she'll just work behind-the-scenes for people or something.

All For You was very good album. Pretty much overlooked.

No, r141. "All For Poo" was a horrible album, and the beginning of the end for her. She was trying to be hip with the kids. It was tragic.

No, it was not tragic. She did a very successful tour for ALL FOR YOU and she was still "hip with the kids" in 2001. Her last tour was tragic. But I don't expect you geezers to remember all of this.

r43, she canceled her 2001 "All For You" tour because of sales, and tried to pass it off as fear of the 9/11 event. She's a flop.

r44, she cancelled her dates in Europe. Not the entire tour.

bump

Duh, r45. She still CANCELED though.

You haters need a nice SCALDING hot coffee enema, courtesy of Ms. Jackson.

How can she think this is a good idea after her last tour bombed? She doesn't even have a new album to help ticket sales.%0D %0D After an artist with her high profile has so many flop albums, it's clear they bring nothing to the table.

Exactly R49. Janet thinks she can coast on her brother's death whilst offering absolutely nothing new. Every concert, every dance move, every breathy coo between and during some of her songs - same ole' shit.

When someone posted news about Janet's upcoming tour, I said it would FAIL big time, and as this post points out - I was right.

Sorry Janet - come up with some fresh, new ideas and people might actually want to see you.

Nice package alright.

Think I'll have to ride it tonight!

Tee-hee!

Tour!

Edit!

Break!

Cancel!

it ain't selling because tickets aren't on sale yet.

The tour is playing theatres. Good for her for wanting to give her fans an intimate experience. What she is doing with the 20 under 20 program and keeping her set-list fluid is great.

The only thing better than Janet crazies are the inexplicably bizarre anti-Janet crowd. Lots of them in this thread!

[italic]it ain't selling because tickets aren't on sale yet.[/italic]

They are on sale, you moron!

presale begins wednesday, and general sale on friday, per ticketmaster.

....you were saying?

r53 = a bloated and bitter Whitney, incapable of doing shows anywhere

The show has on sale in Asia since December, butt-head! It hasn't sold out. That's what we've been referring to, r54. Try to keep up!

Bye Whitney/r56! Go give Clive a call so you can rag on Janet with him. He'll love it, he has nothing else to do, much like yourself!

r57 = Janet's right floppy granny tit, the one that ended her career.

r58 = an ancient looking Rene Elizondo, running up to AMSCOT to cash his alimony check

see what i mean? 53-59 = crazies!

He deserves it, r59. He was one half behind the success of her career. After he left, she was never the same.

r61 = a bitter Tina Landon, still fucking with old man Rene

R61,

How much success has Rene had after Janet?

Rene retired babe, just as Janet should have a long time ago.

TITTYGATE!

Never forget!

Never forgive!

[quote]anyone else get their presale tix today? they went pretty quickly!

OMFG!!!!! I'M SOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!! I BOUGHT 2 AND CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

I THINK LA IS SOLD OUT!

I'm going. :)

both los angeles shows are sold out.

The gays really will go see anything.

Can't wait to see her in LOS ANGELES!

luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuv janet!!!!

[quote]She ROAD a guy?%0D %0D Yeah, she picks a guy from the audience. Then puts him on a revolving bed strapped in, then she rides him, and performs sexual acts. It's funny actually, more than sexual.

She sold out because the places she's playing are the size of a high school gymnasium. LMFAO!

:)

I love that song. Thanks, r78.

r77 you can't have it both ways. Your argument is that she's completely irrelevant and can't sell out anything which clearly she can. Secondly there are high school gyms that can sit 10000 people. So...

[italic][R77] you can't have it both ways. Your argument is that she's completely irrelevant and can't sell out anything which clearly she can.[/italic]

Nope. Keep making shit up.

[italic]Secondly there are high school gyms that can sit 10000 people.[/italic]

She's a flop, and one of the industry's biggest jokes now. Even her fans are embarrassed.

She's clearly still relevant based on the volume of haters that crowd a thread whenever her name is brought up. Who would expect her to sell millions of albums now, the woman has been in it for 20 something years! Her shows will continue to sell because they are always good, if you've actually been to one you'll have to give her credit for that.

Her shows SUCK! It's the same mimed show every single time! She's horrible. This is the reason why her tickets don't sell. It's going to end up like her last flop tour. She can't even get a record deal. At least she isn't fat this time. That's one good thing I guess.

" I wipe back to front! "

she sold out the LA date in less than 10 minutes and there are othere dtaes that are now sold out as well.....who was it that was saying she's a flop?

Wow I can't believe a Janet Jackson thread got past 20 posts and was the home of this much insanity. %0D %0D I don't care one way or another about her but 'intimate' is usually a euphenism for ' we can't sell enough for the big venues'.

Janet has sold out 80% of her shows in just a few days.

You go girl!

Not hard to do when the venues only seat about 1000 people.

[quote]Not hard to do when the venues only seat about 1000 people.

In LA it's 13,000 total.

13,000 is small...for LA

r89 = Oprah, getting her 29th pound of mac & cheese

Good for her!

A performer who can't sing should never do a stripped down show.%0D %0D

Janet can sing, better than Madonna, and now Whitney Houston.

I think Madonna has a better voice than Janet...which isn't saying much. I loved Whitney's last album.

Janet can sing on key all the time, unlike Madge. But Madge doesn't lipsync most of a concert like Janet.

why so much hate for janet?

Was Rene on the downlow?

.

She's been #1 all week on Ticketmaster, and just dropped to #2. Sounds like she's selling to me haters.

she's been adding second dates in cities all over this tour, so she's not only selling, but popular demand is requiring more shows!

My boyfriend is a big JJ fan, and wants to go to her recently announced concert in St. Louis. I think the tickets are too expensive, but I'll take him nonetheless and sit through it (that's love).

But, I'm expecting that a lot of people are going to wait until the last two weeks before the concert, which is at the end of March, to buy tickets. People don't have a ton of money these days, the tickets are expensive, and JJ, although she certainly has her fan base, doesn't have a huge rabid fan base like she used to. So ticket sales may be slow, and if that's the case, I bet the concert gets canceled.

Then again, reading some of the replies, which I didn't before, the concert may very well be a sell out.

R104,

The tickets seem to be doing well in St. Louis. THey are going for $150 - $500 on Stub Hub. Hope they are not sold out.

[quote]She's been #1 all week on Ticketmaster, and just dropped to #2. Sounds like she's selling to me haters.

Or maybe no one else is having tickets go on sale this week. Ya think, Janet?

To all you dumb a$$es on this post, the Janet tour is selling out everywhere. Give it a break! It's too bad you scum bags have lived passionless lives, working 12 hours a day with nothing to show for it! Get a life, go enjoy it, and quit hating on people.

She sold out Reliant a couple of weeks back here in Houston. I didn't go but a coworker did and said it was fun. She's added an obligatory tribute to her dead brother, apparently.

Oh, and the tickets were only $18.

Janet is not as big a star as she once was. Do you expect her to sell out MSG for pete's sake.

"Janet is not as big a star as she once was."%0D %0D Obviously the ticket sales tell a different story. %0D %0D "Do you expect her to sell out MSG for pete's sake."%0D %0D She's been there and done that. And who cares at this point? People want to go to hear the hits and have a good time.%0D %0D %0D

[quote]Obviously the ticket sales tell a different story.

Well for $18 I would hope she could push them.

I have to say, I never believe one word that comes out of her mouth. I don't think she really cares about anyone and I doubt that many people care about her.

Janet + MSG? LOL! Please!

I saw some clips on YT from the tour. I would definitely go. Janet is actually singing her songs instead of having a huge track behind her. Her voice is very good. Janet still has more rhythm than any of these R&B whores out today, and her dancers are perfection.

Madge v. Janet singing arguments are ridiculous.

They both are capable pop singers, and not much else, though they have both occasionally shown a little more substance to their vocals, but not that often.

Compared to "real" singers, they're not even close, but that's not the point. They are/were pop superstars. They both have their strengths and very clear weaknesses.

Um r113 I saw Janet at MSG in 2008.

R116 I hope you enjoyed it because it will never happen again.

She just sold out three shows in Chicago and the reviews were actually pretty good. While there are some vocal tracks, the reviewer said it was a much more authentic, less rigid show.

She looks fab!

She looks fat!

Janet needs to tell that hussy LaToya to go down an implant size.

Love Janet!

Bitch sold out 3 dates in NYC. I went last Saturday. It was amazing. Janet's still got it, bitches.

Why is it called "# twos" and why is there, what looks like, a turd on the cover?

I saw an advert for the concert in the local paper and the photo of JJ writhing onstage in an ugly outfit while looking very middle-aged was not a great way to sell tickets. She looked tired and at least a decade past her prime. And that's how I feel about her as a performer. I'm 38, how are the young hip folks going to feel?

Hey gramps at r125 I'm 28 and Janet is everything.

Respect.

Shouldn't she be booking indian casinos?

R126, I wrote, "young hip folks", why are you responding?

$18 a ticket? That's so cute. Some people charge 20 times that and still sell out stadiums.

Janet secretly married Rene on March 31, 1991

LOS ANGELES! TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!

She's a sweet thang, but ain't got much musical ability at all!

I read the concert is only 75 min long.

r132 = A toothless Whitney!

Janet was awesome last night in LA. She came on at 9:15 and left the stage @ 11:10. Fucking great show! She still has it!

Sadly, there are two Janet Jackson fans on this board who insist that Janet is still relevant. Stop trying to make her happen fellas. Anyone can sell out a venue these days - hello! - Charlie Sheen. And his ticket prices aren't as dirt-cheap as this no-talent, Minnie Mouse-voiced, ugly twat that can only dance if there is a troupe behind her.

So for you TWO fans on this board - please enjoy the show. Just stop trying to make her happen, and stop pushing this lame thread to the front over and over again.

[quote]Sadly, there are two Janet Jackson fans on this board

Well, you wouldn't know that so please go back to eating your crap sandwich, dear.

You need Janet!

Good one R137. Yawn.

[quote]Yawn.

That's original.

Let's discuss!

Nothing ever changes for loser Janet.

BUMP or BURP.
