BREAKING.... Janet Jackson’s DIAMOND TOUR has been canceled

Poor sales.

Yep!

Surprise, surprise.

Even her die hard fans should know her deal by now.

Remember Janbot/Beybot/Gagabot/ a was bragging about how Janet was doing so much better than Madonna? HAHAHAHA.

Who was planning on attending???

Oh, no.

They'll have to refund all half dozen tickets.

r5, no one but Janbot

Please, R7, Janet's got seven siblings.

At least three of them were going to attend too.

Is Celine the only pop diva left who is still able to play arenas?

Mariah can, but only with her holiday shows.

Janet can still fill an arena.

When she peels off her Spanx.

PAGING JANBOT, PAGING MISS JANBOT, Your queen is being disrespected, Please pick up the white courtesy telephone.

Janbot is loading those bookmarked gifs as we speak.

You can’t do a tour in a pandemic.

R13, bullsheeeeeert!!!

...Or when you have no fanbase.

Who?

Be fair: she can do theaters. Def not arenas. But every tour has been canceled: i had a lot of concerts lined up for the summer....all gone. Janet will get some play in the gay clubs with disco mixes of whatever flop single she will release.

Fascinating--when Madonna was Janet's age, she was still managing to perform at stadiums. A lot. Source: The MDNA tour. Let's see what Janet is doing when she's 60.

There's always county fairs

When did the gays start hating Janet? I'm back on DL after being away for 5+ years. Now the gays hate Janet, Madonna, etc. Why???????

She has plenty of farewell tours in her.

Live Nation pulled the plug on all their acts. Jackson is still doing the tour, most likely next year, which is when the album that the tour supports will probably drop, if not late this year. Had she not officially cancelled, people would not get a refund until next year. Acts are cancelling so people can use the money right now they so desperately need. I know OP is probably vagebot and is trying to start a flame war, but I'll just look passed that. This is the best thing acts under Live Nation can do for customers. People are out of work.

"Vagebot".

R20 Because they’ve aged Silly!

It should have been called the cubic zirconia tour.

Do you think she’ll use the extra time to come up with some new moves for her next tour or just keep recycling the same Paula Abdul ones she’s used for the last thirty-five years?

BLACK DIARRHEA will return in 2021!

Janet is resilient.

Like herpes.

I'm surprised Janbot hasn't arrived yet.

We're missing your made up statistics, gurl.

Nobody will forget Jane Jacket!

Yes, Janet will always be remembered as a Trivial Pursuit answer to the question, 'Who suffered a 'wardrobe malfunction' at the 2004 Superbowl'.

After all that effort she wasted pre-recording giggles to lipsync to.

What a shame.

Can't believe Janbot has arrived yet.

Two reasons.. Janet needs to lower her standards and play in auditoriums with 5000 or less OR have a huge new hit.... otherwise...

She nor Mariah can play full arenas. They barely fill 2,000 seaters. Madonna can do stadiums around the world but must play the hits more from now on or it is strictly arenas.

Yeah Madonna could easily play multiple stadium shows per city for years if she played 85% hits. If she sticks to 60% new music she’ll only play arenas like BOK or MSG but actually fill it unlike our prez.

Madonna, Celine and Whitney were good touring acts. Janet and Mariah were not at the level of those three in terms of concert popularity.

Mariah was never a concert draw. Whitney was not at Madonna’s or Celine’s level. Madonna did her numbers playing less than 85 dates playing mostly new music. That is staggering.

R38, and she did this as a woman in pop music in her late 40s and 50s. Consistently. I don't think that's something we will be seeing again for a while.

Janet just needs to set her sights a little lower.

For instance, every city has a place that does an open mic night.

Janet should go door-to-door to catch the "Wouldn't *mind* hearing a Janet Jackson song if it's short" demo.

When and why did the gays turn on Janet?

Most of us here don't hate Janet but we make fun of her constantly because of Janbot's presence. Studies have revealed that the presence of Janbot increased the generation of Janet jokes 1000 fold. When someone is constantly making up facts or spreading half-truths about their favorite icon, it's impossible to take them seriously after a certain point.

Janbot is no longer with us. COVID-19 rears it's ugly head yet again.

No major media is covering the cancellation. No need, since there are hardly any ticketbuyers to notify.

Bitch must be loving the virus offering her cover.

Why doesn't she do a Vegas residency?

[quote]Why doesn't she do a Vegas residency?

It's not easy finding an eight-seat arena.

Janet already did a Vegas residency. I don't know how long it lasted and I don't care enough to look it up.

Yes she got fired from it R49. Nobody wanted to pay to see it.

Has Janbot died?

Why don't any of the big names ever do a graceful stage left exit? Why do they have to embarrass themselves as the lime light begins to fade?

Guess it's back to Baja Fresh

R36 Madonna had to cancel multiple dates for 2000 seat auditoriums less than a year ago. There were a bunch of articles about how abysmal her ticket sales were, and you think she’s able to play stadiums...the delusion is real!!! The fact is that no one gives a shit about any of these fading divas.

[quote]Has Janbot died?

Miss Rona snatched her.

Janbot has joined Janet's career in the mansion in the sky.

R52 you simply lie. Why? Her box office has been released. Unlike many divas. Her MadameX tour was 100% sold out. If you look at her earnings per date, they were very high something like averaging $300 per ticket and huge $$$$$ each date which meant there were very little comps. One date had 31,000 and made over $9 million.

Janet's Vegas residency sold at about 80%, which put her on par with Gwen Stefani's residency. Which is... fine, I guess.

Yes, but how many is 80% of the Holiday Inn Breakfast Room?

[quote] Her MadameX tour was 100% sold out.

R58 look it up, cunt. Triggered cuz your divas have been selling at 40% capacity since 1999.

R36 madonnas roped off auditorium tour. She canceled a ton of shows that didn’t sell, three dates in boston canceled for no reason. canceled at least one show at every stop. The show got horrid reviews, the album didn’t sell, couldn’t get one song on billboard, flopped at the awards shows, but sure, she’s got the ability to sell out stadiums.....delusion. Just accept the fact that Madonna (who you brought up in a Janet thread, as usual vadgebot) is just an old stink wrinkle in time

R59 I don't really care about any of them.

And I don't get people, like you, who are so invested in being fans. It's silly.

R60 oh so you need to lie. Google the reviews. Universal praise you lying bitch. I didn’t see that stupid tour nor her last 2 but you’re lying your fucking ass off for what? Check capacity seating and check paid attendance. Roped off? That’d be Janet. Velvet roped off the entire upper seating and the entire back Tour. It kills you her tour was so successful and rave reviews ( I can link it all) that all you have are lies. Tons of money from a theater tour of a flop ( though#1 )album.

Revising history r62 , for each review with “universal praise” there are 10 raking her and the whack show, but keep on sniffing that powdered mayonnaise

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Pic of R64:

R63 poor thing has to lie. Universal praise. Said it was one of her best. I wouldn’t watch a show full of MX songs but it had 99% 4 or 5 star reviews.

Janet, baby, my tour is still on and I need an opening act. Call me.

Just know that food expenses would be yours, hussy.

Janet next to the prized hogs?

Yup, I see a county fair tour in her future.

BREAKING: Janet's tour is still cancelled

Does anyone under 40 even know who Janet Jackson is?

R70 Everyone knows Jane Jacket.

Well let's not drag her to hard. She's part of pop music history as are her collaborators. Come on now, DL, be nice - beeee niiiiiiice.....

R66 is delusional

Be Best

Turns out it was no sales OP.

Is she still giving out 4 free concert tickets with her CD giveaways?

That was Madonna r76, except she ended up having to cancel entire cities on her tour
