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.
