Janet Jackson Live: A Review of the #1s Tour Posted on August 17, 2011August 30, 2024 By Dangerous Lee Janet Jackson Up Close and Personal Did Not Impress Let me start out by saying how much I hate driving to (and from) Detroit. As we got closer to the “D” there was about 30 minutes of unnecessary traffic on the highway. I say unnecessary because once we got to the end of it and started driving at a faster pace, there wasn’t an accident, construction, or anything else in the way. Just unnecessary! Once we got to the FOX theater we had a hell of a time getting to the FOX parking ramp (which I had purchased a prepaid pass for), then once we got to the ramp it was full! There was also a Tigers game going on at the same time across the street at Comerica Park, so that may explain the extra traffic in the area. By the time we were directed to a parking lot with available parking, it was close to 8:30pm. The show had apparently started promptly at 8:00pm because when we got inside Janet was well into a performance of “Control” and those that had arrived early enough were enjoying it. Guess what? I had to pee, so I made a stop in the bathroom before we took our seats; more show missed. However, we were not alone in our lateness because there were still tons of other people that were waiting outside to find a parking spot. I am starting to wonder if the FOX theater has a curfew because each time that I have been there I am out by 10:00pm. Wasup with that?! A Janet Jackson Show is Built For Larger Stadiums Anyway, not being able to see the show from the beginning was a major buzz kill and I never fully recovered from it and to top it off our seats were horrible! We also had to deal with a couple making multiple bathroom and drink trips. That gets on my damn nerves! I prefer seeing Janet perform in a large stadium with costume changes and an elaborate stage show, the “Up Close and Personal” style of the #1’s tour does not compliment her at all. When images and low-budget graphics were shown on the large screen, the top half was cut off to everyone in my area of the theater. I also didn’t understand why film of Janet performing was not shown on the screen for those of us in the nosebleed seats. I couldn’t even make out her facial features from where we sat. There were also songs that Janet’s band performed snippets of while she was off stage taking a break that we would of much rather seen her perform live. It was truly disappointing and I am missing her brother and my first love, Michael Jackson even more. I want my money back! Me and my daughter after the show. Look how happy I am pretending to be. She had fun, though! Like this:Like Loading... Related Discover more from Dangerous Lee Publishing Subscribe to get the latest posts sent to your email.
