Together Again, sold nearly a million copies in the UK.

I Youtubed it. Yeah I definitely remember that song. Maybe she ran out of time?

It doesn't look empty to me.

More than she’s doing

She actually sang many songs that weren't even released as singles. Songs unknown to the general audience even in Asia or North America where they know almost every Janet's song.

Not one song from Velvet Rope which would reduce the amount of hits. It just ended up being a shortened version of the sets she did in Las Vegas. Maybe it was just easier to change the template that was already set instead of presenting something totally different.

Ha! It's a kind of super-karaoke - miming along to backing music

Gosh I wonder who the fuck was at Low.

Looks pretty quiet for them. Suppose that's what happens when they decide to put all the other good stuff on at the same time.

It always looks busier from the front looking out, than the other way around

It’s not exactly rammed

Yeah, that's what I meant to the guy who posted the instagram video. It always looks busier from the stage looking over the crowd because you just see faces, you can't see the gaps etc.

Janet Jackson is trending at No. 1 on Twitter in the UK, and at No. 2 worldwide. Fantastic reviews by the Guardian (★★★★☆), NME (★★★★☆), and the Independent.

Is 4/5 really fantastic these days?

Oh she's certainly trending on Twitter, but not necessarily in a good way

What’s happened? Yet to see her set on iPlayer

Lacklustre set. Couldn't hear her very well most of the time (when she was miming). Didn't look like the crowd was engaged much.

[Larraht]

Watching at home before I saw this thread and definitely thought she was mimeing a lot of the time. Still, I felt she put a fair bit of energy into the dancing and quite enjoyed it (I am not a Janet fan and only know perhaps one song). 

[MEGATRONICMEATWAGON]

Wow, the Guardian absolutely loved it yesterday. 4/5 stars. "high-gloss" performance, in "imperious" form. Didn't look like that to me, why would they lie like that?

Wasn't she! Just amazing and probably had twice the crowd. Can't wait to watch it back. ?

I love it when the super fans turn up, if @jntsrb wasn't posting then there'd be nothing to see here.

I doubt I'll be there, but I hope she smashes it.

I hate it when the super fans turn up, if @jntsrb hadn't posted then I would not have been tempted to see her.

I was there, and she was absolute shite.

[Ryan1984]

I watched Janet expecting a Vegas-style show with spectacular dance choreography and that’s what I got.

It was fine for what it was but I don’t think she’d be anyone’s favourite act of the weekend.

You were convinced by a never ending stream of US centric statistics? You won't make that mistake again!

So glad I chose the utterly incredible Lizzo over Janet. Thanks @jntsrb cos if it wasn't for you I might have chosen Janet and missed the best set of my lifetime. 

Please leave Lizzo alone. ?

[MrZigster]

One of the few whole sets I was at and I honestly found a spot to lie down and dozed my way through it, Only awoken by the odd clumsy passer by.

Not JJ's fault. I was just generally knackered.
