Three Shows Rolled Into One: Janet Jackson Tour Continued
Up Close and Personal Takes back the stage. Three Concert shows were rolled up into one big event as Janet Jackson once again took up the stage.
The singer's concert which were individually scheduled for private events over Australia were postponed due to continuous issues of Michael Jackson's death and his late doctor, Dr. Conrad Murray.
"After talking to my family last night, I have decided that we must be together now," says the singer in an interview. Michael Jackson's kids are under tremendous psychological and not to mention emotional trauma with regards to new updates to the alleged murder of their father.
After having spent her days with her family, Janet Jackson has finally taken the stage eight days and twenty minutes late. The original concert line up was scheduled last October 27 at Melbourne but was postponed due to family crisis. Despite her disheartened fans, all three shows were set last November 3 at the Rod Laver Arena.
Of course this was way better than having a total no show yet it may not have been enough for Jackson's fans. Another slap on the face for the singer's Melbourne fans, Janet Jackson's show was cut shorter compared to her other shows. Considering that her fans paid over $400, nothing special came out from the rescheduled concert and the singer belted out on the stage for barely an hour. Total Rock On or Rip Off?
Jackson's show, however short it may seem to be for her fans, was jam-packed with several of her well-loved hits, so much so that it might as well be called a one lengthy medley. The show included much loved 80's classics such as "Miss You Much", "Let's Wait a While" and "Rhythm Nation".
A big hit that night was Janet Jackson's performance of Scream alongside her late brother's recorded voice on video. Pictures of the siblings were played along with her ode to Michael of Together Again.
Her tour, the Number Ones: Up Close and Personal tour, will hit Sydney next on November 5, 6 and 8 at the Sydney Opera House. She's also scheduled to perform in South Africa and back to the Americas until next month, where it will all end on São Paulo, Brazil on the 9th of December.
