"Janet Jackson Live Tampa, Florida December 4, 2011"  

From Dusty Mendoza

I think the thing that most impresses me most about Janet Jackson, is the dancer. Janet dancing on stage is truly a pleasure and watching her dance in a music video the same thing. She is not someone who typically sits on a stool, or stands in front of a microphone and just sings. She sings obviously, but she's usually on the move as she's singing and having to perform the song as well. Her own music and the dance routine at the same time. 

And then you combine the great body and the great shape that she's always in and those classic Levi's black denim jeans with the boots and t-shirt or leather jacket and get to see her move in that outfit and showing everyone what she has to work with (so to speak) and you have one of the most entertaining and sexiest performers you'll ever see. Even if you're not crazy for her music, but perhaps crazy for great entertainment and sexy yet professionally well-done entertainment.

Janet Jackson is simply one of if not the sexiest female performers live and in concert. Because she's a not just a singer, but a performer who is also a great dancer. And then you combine that with her beautiful baby-face appearance and the great body and how well she shows off her body and I don't know of a sexy performer right now. 

Janet is so professional and not just great onstage, but the work she does offstage to remain the great performer that she is. If you have a front row seat to a Janet Jackson concert, that seat should be probably worth somewhere around a million dollars. Even if you are not a fan of her music and I like some her songs,  but not all of them, but whatever she's singing, she always looks great singing and performing because of talents and ability to both move and sing as a performer. And all of the work that she does offstage to stay in the great shape she's always been in.

Just to speak very personally and frankly for a minute and then I'll go back to being a distant lier (Ha, ha) but checking out Janet Jackson up close and personal, which was the title of this album, feels like a great Christmas gift. With that voice, that body, her in those tight Levis black denim jeans, the boots, that belt, the tight black t-shirt, makes me want to get down on my knees and thank God I'm a man. Or at the very least get down on my knees and scream, yes!!! At the top of my lungs.

Janet is one of the cutest, sexiest, sweetest, singers and performers you'll ever see and she's still only like forty-eight years old. Obviously not a little girl anymore, just with a face that makes her as cute as a little girl. And then you throw in that she's a hell of a writer and singer who sings about her real life as a person and what is going on in the world around her. As attractive as she is. her professional talents as a dance, singer and writer or just as great.

Janet Jackson is not a one-hit wonder or a bimbo whose famous because of who her father is. And there are plenty of women and men who are and I'm sure you are already aware of this, unless you've grown up in Afghanistan or some place that is completely isolated from the world. There are plenty of people who are famous because of their parents. Janet comes from a great music family, but she's been as successful as she's been unlike some of her siblings because she's a great talented performer.

From Elio Blas

One of the sexiest performers of all-time. To call Janet Jackson a club dancer who is someone who see at clubs going off with all sorts of moves to the music is playing, would be accurate and wouldn't be giving her enough credit. She's made club dancing her profession, but she does it in front of 20,000 fans generally, depending on the size of the arena that she's playing at. 

Janet is so much better than even the most beautiful and sexiest club dancer with the tightest body outfit and all of the sexiest moves. She's made sex appeal an honorable profession, because she's not some strip dancer on the stage at some strip joint wearing basically nothing and showing off her boobs. She's fully dress and so are her backup dancers, but in tight outfits. Showing off their moves and bodies and not doing this to someone else's music, which is what a club dancer would do, but doing it to her music and the music she created and to her own songs and the albums that she created and has her name all over it.

Still a great album twenty years later. I remember Rhythm Nation very well, because I was in junior high at the time that it came out in 1989 and in high school in 1990-91 when the album was completed. Janet Jackson was all over MTV and VH1 (when they both played music videos) from 89-91, because her album was so popular and so were her videos.

Black Cat was number one for several weeks and so was Love Will Never Do. And it was in junior high when I finally became a music fan and got into rhythm and blues and classic rock, got my first walkman (as they were called back then) and was always listening to it when I was in the car and would even take it to school and sometimes go to sleep with it on. (Don’t try that at home, kids)

Janet Jackson is simply a very adorable, sexy, and intelligent performer and communicator. Even if you don’t like her you can’t help, but notice her and perhaps at least hear what she’s saying. Which I believe is when you know a performer and commentator has their audience. When the people are listening even if they don’t like what they’re hearing.

Nasty baby live and in concert, with that tight-ass body and outfit. I know I'm being very direct here, but look at Janet Jackson in this video and you'll know why. About as adorable and sexy of a human being that you'll ever see. Rare you see a woman who is this cute to the point she could pass a a little girl when you look at that face, hear her voice and personality and yet is as sexy as any beautiful sexy woman in the prime of her life. And yet she's a hell of a singer and dancer as well. A truly special talent and performer that a person who is both blind and death, would have to notice if she's in their presence, especially if she's performing and it that person is a man would probably get the ride (in a sexual sense) of his lifetime that his sight and hearing would suddenly snap back. I just don't how else to describe who performer who is not only this good, but this attractive and sexy all at the same time. For a man performing with her, it's probably like being up close to his girlfriend and wife when they're with Janet and yet they're suppose to be working here.

Forget Janet Jackson's music for a moment, (no offense) because I can just watch her perform by dancing and see her move around on stage. She's got both one of the sexiest and cutest bodies around. At least for a short American woman. She's got a very athletic body and looks like she's probably in the gym most of the time that she's not performing in public. Either on a talk show, being interviewed somewhere, or performing in concert. I could watch her dance and move without her music or any music, because she's so entertaining as a dancer. And I mean that both with her as a professional dancer and sexually speaking. Great body, great style, great moves, great outfit with the black Levis, the black t-shirt, the military boots. It's been said that most guys just want to see women wearing tight t-shirts and tight jeans and from my perspective that would be both denim and leather jeans. Janet Jackson is a great example of why American men at least love sexy women in t-shirts and tight jeans and I would add boots. Because that's the perfect outfit for a woman like Janet to show off her body and how hard she works to stay in shape and look great. And she's got this look down.

From Lynxsa 

Janet Jackson literally is one of the sexiest dancers of all-time. She has a great body, great style as far as showing off her body and great moves. Plus she has the music and that is what you get from a Janet Jackson show is a woman who is a musical dancer. 

Janet is truly is a musical artist and if you're looking for a performer who sits on a stool or stands on stage and sings, but rarely moves other than to acknowledge their audience or band and perhaps their fans, Janet Jackson would be one of the last performers that you would want to go see. She's not somebody you want to watch if you're trying to fall asleep and perhaps want a slow show to finish you off and knock you out. 

If anything Janet is an extra caffeinated Dr. Pepper or Starbucks drink for people who need to study for three exams in one night. 

Even if you don't like Janet's music, I believe you have to at least give her credit for bringing a lot of energy to her shows and for her effort. She is someone who brings a lot to her shows even if you don't like her performances.

From Nina Davisson

Janet Jackson brings so much energy to her performances. When she's is not performing, she must be spending all her free time in the gym working out. Perhaps she's eating energy bars all the time and has a Starbucks kitchen in her house and drink all the caffeine all she wants. I think she would've made a hell of a pro athlete had she decided to go down that road instead of music. Music's huge loss and would have been pro sports great gain.

As far as The Pleasure Principle: it's not one of my favorite songs. Sure! The video is great and very sexy watching Janet dance around in those tight, black Guess denim jeans, with that body. And it's great to see her perform that song live or on video. But the song itself, I don't believe is great music. And maybe that is just me not picking up the point of the song. But that is how I feel about it as a music fan especially an R&B/classic rock fan who has been following Janet Jackson since junior high which for me goes back to the late 1980s. But she always looks and sounds great performing. 

As far as Janet Jackson's performance from Seattle, Washington in 2011: I've only seen a few videos on YouTube of that concert, like The Pleasure Principle. But I only focus on her dancing and physical performance of that song. Why? Because again it's not a great song. But to watch one of the best musical dancers Planet Earth has ever produced and to watch her perform that dancing and song, in those skin-tight, black denim, skinny, Levi's jeans and boots, with tight black shirt and short white jacket, with her body, I mean do you real need me to add anything else to this? Forget the song with her dancing like that in that outfit, with that body.

Janet Jackson Up Close and Personal Down Under. I guess that could be taken in a sexual way, because Janet is a very sexual sexy woman, but Melbourne is a big city in Australia and it is down under. Janet of course is from America where she was born and raised. (Gary, Indiana to be precise) But she's an international performer who is also popular in Europe and Asia, including Australia.

She's reached the level of Whitney Houston I believe as far as how popular and now talented she is as part of that generation. Entertainers born in the 1960s and 1970s, Generation X which is also my generation. Because again because of how multi-talented she is and how physically attractive. Great singer, great writer, great dancer, very intelligent woman who is also a great communicator. A beautiful baby-faced adorable woman with great style and never afraid to show herself off and beautiful a performer she really is. And is someone who'll probably be perfuming live for another thirty-years or more if she chooses to.

From G Irafe

To be completely honest with you: I don't watch Janet Jackson in concert (well actually on my computer) because I believe she's a great singer and go out-of-my-way to see and hear her sing when I get the opportunity. I do like some of her songs like Black Cat and a few others, but what really gets my attention about her is how she moves and how she plays to her audience. How she gets her crowd involved, moves around the stage and of course Janet Jackson as the dancer. 

Janet is simply one of the most talented, sexiest and best dancers and entertainers in the business today regardless of what style of music you're talking about. She's always in great shape, she's very talented and creative as a dancer and she knows these things and is more than happy letting her fans (perhaps especially guys) see her perform on stage. 

People always get their money worth and they go to Janet's shows and see her online, because she's such a great entertainer and a sexy dancer. And that is what brings me back to her over and over.

From Elle

Janet Jackson the great sexy dancer. That is exactly what she is, because she's always in great shape at least when she's performing and moves so well and knows exactly how to move. And always surrounds herself with other great sexy dancers and apparently isn't worried about being shown up and outperformed. 

Janet of course has her great style and how she looks. A beautiful baby-faced adorable woman who has a great woman's body even if she's as cute as a little girl. A woman who loves tight jeans and tight denim and looks great in them with that great body and style. And not afraid to let the world know how sexy she is and how well she moves. 

Whatever you think of Janet's music and I'm not exactly the president of her fan club, because I don't like all of her songs, but she's a hell of a performer. Because she has such a sweet voice and always an interesting message and moves so gracefully and looks so sexy. She's one of the best performers not just from her generation, but I believe who has ever lived.

"Janet Jackson performs Runaway at the Sydney Opera House on her number ones up close and personal tour."

From Shawns Girl 69 

Up Close and Personal from 2011. Janet Jackson's greatest hits album and even tribute album to her fans, as well as herself. At this point she had already had twenty-five years in the music business as a singer and already had three great successful albums. Control from 1986-87, Rhythm Nation from 1989-90 and Janet from 1993-94. 

Janet is about 9-10 years older than I am so this is first album that I got to see from her as an actual adult. What you also see from Up Close and Personal is a new style. She was big on black denim jeans and black boots in the early 1990s and even black shirts. But she really went hard-core with that this decade and made black tight t-shirts, with black Levi's, black military boots, a black studded belt, a huge part of her look. 

With Janet's body and great ability as a dancer she really makes the black T on denim with boos look fly. Where guys such as myself not only want to hear her sing, but see her move and check her out. Because she really is a beautiful baby-faced adorable woman with a  great body. And hasn't lost a thing physically in twenty-five years.
