Live Nation Blamed For Janet Jackson Cancellations
Janet Jackson has apparently recuperated from her mystery illness enough to go back on the road, according to a statement released by her tour promoter, Live Nation:
Janet, who has been under her doctor’s care and recuperating over the last week, is excited about getting back on the road and again being able to share with her fans what she feels is one of her best stage shows ever”. Her first concert post-recovery will be on Saturday in Uncasville, Conn.
Janet supposedly fell ill during sound check in Montreal last week. She was rushed to a local hospital where she was treated for dehydration and released two hours later.
Jan’s brother Randy reportedly said Janet was diagnosed with Vertigo (dizziness). But we knew better than that. First of all, Vertigo is not a disease, it’s a symptom.
Plus, Randy is now claiming an impostor posted that information on a Michael Jackson fan site and that he’d never talk about his sister’s health on the Internet.
Janet canceled a string of concerts including a show in Atlanta, leading to ridiculous speculation that Janet was pregnant. Janet is much too self-absorbed to be pregnant.
Phoenix, a close friend of the Jackson family, blamed the promoter, Live Nation, for the string of cancellations due to poor ticket sales.
“They are pulling out due to bad ticket sales. Janet might have been one of the greatest pop icons in her time. But Janet Jackson, at 42 years old, does not have the same appeal as in ‘89 with ‘Rhythm Nation.’ Other artists took that throne — Ashanti and Beyonce. This is what you call a publicity stunt.” (Source)

The problem is Janet’s tickets are overpriced. Mary J. Blige too. But Janet’s always have been. At least I got to see Mary J. several times before she got to big for me. I have yet to see a Janet concert. I was shocked that I could still find pretty good seats in Greensboro a week before the event.
Janet, darling, drop those prices back to 50 - 60 bucks and I’ll be all up in there.
Support black programming. Watch The Game tonight at 8:30 EST on The CW.
I knew it was much more than a “sickness” when they showed pics of JD the same night or so looking more drunk than concerned..betcha LL is pissed since he’s opening up for her
@BIRD
fill me in on the game,
I feel for janet she is a great performer, but she hasn’t had any hits to back up that tour(recent). I liked her call on me, and stuff but i guess she just don’t have the same appeal anymore, or maybe like bird said the tickets might be to high, we are in a recession, and people are watching the money closely. I Like janet though.
I SAW JANET BACK IN THE DAYS HERE IN MIAMI @ THE MIAMI ARENA. I REMEMBER THE BLACK PANTHER COMING ON STAGE.SHE PUT ON A GREAT SHOW. ALMOST EVERYONE IS CHARGING AN ARM AND A LEG FOR CONCERT TICKETS THESE DAYS, BIRD. I CAUGHT MARY & JAY THIS YEAR, WELL WORTH THE $130 SOMETHING DOLLARS.
I saw Mary in Chicago..unfortunately her perfomance was marred by the big mouth toned deaf heffa sitting right behind me that felt she could out sing Mary…ooh she should have been really happy I say no to black on black crime

Don’t I know it. We still go sometime, but I have a group of 3 friends that go to shows together and normally one of us buys the tickets and the rest of us pay sometime before the show. We are a paycheck to paycheck crew and many times one of us doesn’t have $300 to spare at one time. We don’t want to buy our tickets seperately and it’s not easy for all three of us to get together at the box office as soon as tickets go on sale which is normally when we buy them.
I wish this was a scratch-n-sniff picture…….

DURING THAT TIME I DID THAT, HEFFAS HAD MORE EXCUSE THAN BROTHER GOING TO JAIL AD TO WHY THEY COULD REPAY WHEN THEY SAID THEY WOULD. I GO SOLO NOW!

COULDN’T SORRY FOR THE TYPOS, TRYING NOT TO GET CAUGHT.
Whoa…whoever gave that last statement is living is LaLa Land. What throne did Ashanti take??…I like her and all, but she ain’t the queen of nothing music related. Janet has her own lane, her own fan base and all of these artists out today wish for Janet’s career. Janet has nothing to worry about. I’m sure the ticket sales were fine and maybe she was pregnant…and got it taken care of. Maybe it was dehydration. Who Knows? I hate speculators, give me some facts. I hope Janet is healthy and kills it on stage.
WORTH THE $130 SOMETHING DOLLARS.

LOL, Had you said somewhere in the bay area I woulda thought you were talking about me. I’ve seen Mary twice, and we “both” performed at those shows. Shyt I felt like I was in concert I sang every song loud as I could.
