Here are a few pics from Janet Jackson‘s LA tour stop last night at the Staples Center on her just launched Rock Witchu Tour. I must admit that these photos, much like the first photos released from this tour last week, are terribly disappointing and entirely unsexy. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some Janet (Miss Jackson, if you’re nasty) but the costuming on this tour is utterly ridiculous and the highly sexualized themes of sadomasochistic bondage in the show have not only been done to death before (like in the Velvet Rope Tour) but have also been done so much better in previous tours (like in the Velvet Rope Tour). Take a look:
Granted, I admit that judging a live concert tour merely on photos is not entirely fair but in all honesty, I’ve not seen anything thus far that has come close to impressing me. People magazine reports that Janet‘s Rock Witchu Tour opened to rave reviews in Vancouver, BC last week and perhaps my opinion will change if and when I see the show for myself. David is a huge Janet Jackson fan so we may yet see the show somewhere along the way. I am impressed that Janet is performing 30 songs each night on this tour … but I just can’t get past the ill-fitting costuming. If any of y’all have seen the show already, please set me straight. I suppose I can reserve judgment, despite my disappointment with what I’ve seen thus far.

What is wrong with you people First of all I thought she looked Amazing!!!!!! Second of all WHAT is wrong with you people she is human just like the rest of us . We can’t please everybody. Why don’t you haters take a leeson in making a person feel good about themselves instend of making them feel bad! If you haven’t heard it yet well here goes YOU SUCK! lay off of Janet she rocks and you eat ass!
It was one of the greatest “events” I have seen in a minute! She totally worked it out – u definitely will not be disappointed. Ok – so the costumes may not be the greatest, but she makes up for in other areas. Yes, this show is similar to her past shows with all the dancing and stuff, but it’s JANET. You forget all that stuff once you get up and dance non stop to every hit she packs in to her 2.5 hour show. She’s a little thicker these days, so she’s gotta keep things covered up. WORTH EVERY PENNY – U WILL LOVE THIS SHOW!
I saw the show in Oakland. I loved everything about the show including the outfits, I felt they were different, but Janet wore them well! The entire show was off the hook! Janet still is the queen of this shit! So to all ya’ll haters, Kick rocks!
This is the show for people to get into. Controlling the best shape. The S M gag comes into Example.
