Janet Jackson May Have To Cancel Tour Due To Awful Ticket Sales

It was on the news here in Anaheim, Ca. Apparently, the venue is 80 percent empty.

I HATE Janet Jackson with a passion. Ever since the Super Bowl. She just HAD to expose her boob and ruin everything just because her career was fading. Now, she's blaming everybody else.

Really? That’s brand new information

Oh, no Jabba (AKA Joseph Mora of San Francisco who has been arrested for having sex with a student while he was teaching) is gonna hate this thread.

Is that the Joseph Mora guy who always posts on Janet forums and spends the rest of his life writing negative threads about Madonna on Data Lounge? I do feel bad for him as he attempted suicide a couple years back. He tried jumping off SF bridge but apparently survived.

In a way, it's almost like Janet has been written out of history. There was a time some people considered her a competitor to Madonna and equally iconic. After the Superbowl incident, Les Moonves really wanted to destroy her and he seems to have gotten his wish. It's odd but it's like that time she was huge was all imaginary.

I don't know who Joseph Mora is. He sounds like a walking advertisement for abortion though. And Janet. She's a musical abortion. For her Washington show, they are suddenly moving the stage up to the middle of the arena. It's a disaster for her.

Oh, please! There is only so much that Moonves could do. I worked for Mtv IN 2008 and there was NO boycott against her. at. all. It's called bad music and a complete lack of musical talent.

She never evolved as an artist (or actress). Same old show from 1994.

I saw her years ago. Her voice was terrible. I felt ripped off and swore I'd never go to another one of her shows.

R8, really??? More details please. Was there any reaction at all against what she did at MTV?

That is fucking bullshit. There was a total boycott of her music on video and radio after the tit incident. Tell us more lies, motherfucker.

She should take a break. Her tours have never been a draw but the latest one is a disaster.

She fucked herself by not admitting the super bowl stunt was planned. Typical, since every time a Jackson family member opens their mouth they’re lying. Oh well.

R.I.P. Janet.

I actually really like a lot of her music. I did try to see her years ago, and she didn't show up. I've lost interest mostly - as I have with most singers of the past - I equate her with Madonna, etc. - they had great music, but both got so delusional. I'd go see either of them - small venue, guaranteed to show up, etc. If they could just be rational people, I think they'd be fine, but they both still think they're these gigantic superstars. Go the Reba McEntire route - yes, she was huge for a while, this year she's performing at large county fairs and casinos - not a damn thing wrong with that. Know your place.

was she nominated for an academy award?

She was never 'so good'. Thin voice, no range and no vibrato.

Bitch can't sing.

She should stick to being a good mother.

R16 Reba does fairs, unlike Janet she usually is the top draw and the fairs profit from her. She also has done a Vegas residency for like 3 years. She’s going on a national arena tour this spring. I think a big difference is that country fans are very loyal, she has a following from her sitcom, she shows up on time-not a crazy Diva and she actually sings live. These other divas are late, lipsync, overbook number of shows or too large of venues. Also, Reba owns a Management & Booking Company with her ex husband so she really understands the business side of things. These others could take note, but too late & Pop is really about ego where at least old Country emphasizes being humble.

Agreed. Reba is the REAL DEAL. Real singer who sings live. I am a huge fan of her TV show Reba and Malibu Country.

[quote]is better off killing herself so she can become a legend who "died young."

She’s not “young”, dear.

By the way, I LOVE Reba - I wasn't criticizing her at all.

[quote]She should stick to being a good mother.

For those who missed it, tell us more about the outing of who Janbot is?

She needs to pull out her other titty on national TV to get attention for this tour

“All over the news” in your house

I don't know any song of her.

HollywoodHills dot com is in no way a legitimate media platform.

Who is fucking demented enough to post this several times? None of us fucking care, Mary.

And yet if that same source said Janet won 12 Oscars, Jabba would post it as reputable.

If a Janet Jackson chokes to death on a KFC chicken bone - does anybody hear?

The hollywoodhills.com story has actual LINKS to Ticketmaster that confirm the shitty sales, Retard JABBA.

But you knew that, didn't you.

She's an idiot with less talent than an aborted fetus.

If Janet's backing track cuts out during a concert, since no one's there to hear it, does it still stop making a sound?

Why did Janet get all the backlash for that boob incident, yet Timberlake , nada? He GRABBED her! Um why was she to blame? Also how is JLo able to still have a career? Why was her desperate to stay relevant and tired pole dancing super bowl ready?

Also, she has her own troll??

Janet got no backlash from it. Her PR team tries to make out she did to cover for her career's decline (caused by an equal decline in her music's quality).

Janet is entirely at fault for the tit incident. With 1993's Janet she started getting skanky and slutty in her songs then it just got worse with every album. She destroyed herself.

She went topless on her 2004 album Damita Jo released around the same time as the Superbowl.

The tit thing was the most relevant she'd been in years. No problem with that.

Her music on the other hand was worth blank balling.

Poor Jabba is actually more interesting at this point.

Her last decent pop single was Together Again.

But keep telling yourself whatever you have to to explain her increasing irrelevance, Janbot.

As said by other people, start off at 5000 seat casinos and county fairs. I've seen Mariah, Christina, Reba, Kelly, etc at 5000 venues and they sell out. This is not 1998 Janet...know your audience!

well, she could us public health concern of corona virus as an excuse, just saying

No one wants to hear a has-been lipsync through her concert, plus she’s too fat to dance any more.

She’s a halfway decent actress. She can find a sitcom on Disney TV

Reba can kind of just sing and entertain. Janet needs a whole spectacle which is expensive.

Paging Dr. Murray, Dr. Conrad Murray.

[quote] she can become a legend who "died young."

The hard part in that plan is going to be inventing the time machine.

A Janet concern isn’t a public health concern in itself? How many have died from boredom at one?

Would you go see Madonna in concert is she just lipsynced and couldn’t dance anymore?

Would you go see Whitney in concert? No, she’s dead, but at one point she and Madonna were both enjoyable live, even at her career peak Janet was lip syncing and relying on armies of backup dancers for effect. She still doing that now, only with far less energy.

Vadge’s last good album was 2006. Janet’s was at least a decade prior.

It would be awkward if she was the only artist cancelling US shows because of Coronavirus.

Who would she be kidding?

I'm not a fan of Janet Jackson, but the Moonves story seems to be true.

Eh... her music from the early ‘00s on was awful anyway so if that really was why not much of value was lost.

R52 yep we could make fun of her "corona" cancellation now, but 3 months later, everyone will praise her for doing the right thing.

Yes, if Janet cancelled all her concerts she could potentially save the spread of Coronavirus to tens, even dozens of people.

I'm sure she'd love to perform in a face-mask to cover her sloppy lipsyncs.

We still have our masks, auntie!

No one will ever forget Jane Jacket!

Except her prop baby.

[quote]I'm sure she'd love to perform in a face-mask to cover her sloppy lipsyncs.

She paid too much for those exploding cheeks and collapsing nose to want to cover them up.

[quote]I'm sure she'd love to perform in a face-mask to cover her sloppy lipsyncs.

Of course she would...she ripped everything else off her brother, why wouldn't she continue milking his nuts?

Will there be a hologram of pedophile brother Michael on Scream?

Unlikely, R63; Janet doesn’t want to be upstaged.

Janbot's gone quieter than Janet's throat when performing.

Where you at, boo?

R65, they are now stanning for Lady Gaga and posting random half-truths/stats about her instead of Janet.

She has Beacon Theatre level fame now. Playing MSG is nuts. Or she should of released the new lp first— if it produces a hit maybe it would generate some ticket sales. I liked some of her songs. Never a big fan.

[quote]Unlikely, [R63]; Janet doesn’t want to be upstaged.

Oh, please. That's about the only thing that'll get people in to her show. This bitch is desperate to do anything to get someone to buy her $9 tickets.

Trust me, I know.

She should seriously do one of those group tours: she could open for Paula Abdul and Hologram Whitney.

[quote] Or she should of released the new lp first

Oh, dear!

In response to poor ticket sales, Janet bought a new wig.

There! All fixed!

Frankly, she's never looked better.

I honestly forgot all about the SuperBowl thing, either way I would have zero interest in seeing her.

Ticket sales are the least of her problems:

This permanent A list singer who will never be the highest on the list in her family has a big problem. The secret daughter wants to marry her first cousin.

R74 you're such a tired, PRESSED Hunty.

Go away with that bullshit. You post that so gleefully as though we're supposed to believe Janet gives two fucks about what her abandoned baby does.

That wig takes YEARS off this year's face, R71!

One of her fans posted today that almost 218k tickets Still remain unsold 😳😳😳, 217,994 to be exact

R69 seriously they should tour together, a trio of Janet, Paula and Hologram Whitney could sell the stadium!

[quote] The secret daughter wants to marry her first cousin.

Who do they think they are, the Kennedys?

If she has to cancel this tour that's it for her. Her music career is over. No one expects artists of her age to have new hits but they do expect them to be able to sell a tour.

Janet should seriously consider making a return to acting. I think Whitney was looking at that before she died.

[quote] I think Whitney was looking at that before she died.

I think she was looking at water.

her lip syncing is so bad, and she moves her fat ass about with great distress.....retire ya cow.

I think Janet Jackson and Madonna should both issue statements: "We are cancelling all shows because of the Coronavirus. Yeah, it's totally because of that."

BUMP

Has Jan sold any tickets since?

R84 three this week

R85, how many to actual people though?

Thank God she has a lot of siblings.

The only thing thin on Janet is her voice. And she surprisingly made that and little else go a long way

At least she won't bother printing a $225 book.

If only because she knows it would sell one copy.

again, Hollywood Hills News is someone's sad little blog, why is this being bumped?

Better question, Janbot, is how many devices did you use to keep upvoting your own comments?

R91, it's pretty disturbing that someone would go that far just to like their own compliments.

I'm not Janbot, R91, but something is really fucking weird about how obsessed you seem to be about this shit.
