It’s no secret that I am a huge fan of Janet Jackson. She has been my girl crush ever since I first heard Control when I was 11 years old, and it has been one big ole lovefest from then to now. Janet may not have the hitmaking power she once had, but she can still dominate a stage and keep a crowd on their toes.
Janet showed that she still has the goods during a stop in Los Angeles for her Number Ones: Up Close and Personal Tour yesterday. There are entertainers half Janet’s age that can’t move a crowd like she can. Go Jan!
Mary J. Blige has overcome so many obstacles, and now she is the reigning Queen of Hip Hop Soul, with no signs of being dethroned. During today’s Good Morning America Summer Concert Series, Mary sang her heart out for the audience in Central Park. She truly has come into her own.

OMG!!!! I am the biggest Janet fan. I swear she’s my celebrity bff. If I ever met her I would D-I-E!!!! I saw her in concert in March. I had an amazing seat and I was on my feet the entire night. She puts on a show. I love her. She is an ICON for real. True legend.
I’m mad I missed Mary J. Blige. Her older material still goes hard. MJB got me through some “love” drama in my 20s, lol!

Kim, I know you were a big fan. I was so jealous when you got to see her when she was in Chicago. I have never seen her live (yet). Hopefully, one day I will! 🙂
Kim says
Oh no, we have to get you to a Janet show quickly. The next time she’s in the Midwest, get thee some tickets. You have to experience the magic that is Miss Jackson!!!! I was tempted to get tickets for the St. Louis and Minneapolis shows, lol!

Yes, I so dropped the ball when she was here. Kinda off subject but will you be going to see Kanye and Jay-Z when they come to Chicago in December? I am thinking about coming there for that concert.
