Janet Jackson- HBO Concert Special-Repeat shown tonight: 2/21

[FeeFee]

I saw Icon last night and here are my opinions. Overall I thought the show was very good. I have newfound respect and admiration for 'NSYNC because their video rendition of "That's the way love goes" was soooo smooth! The dance routine by Usher, Pink and Mya was da Bomb - my altime favorite song of Janet's has got to be "The Pleasure Principle" and I can watch that video 1,000 times and not get tired of it Destiny's Child sang very well although Beyonce did not have to be so dramatic with her singing. Macy Gray - I believe her voice is an acquired taste for the eardrums. What the hell was Buck Cherry doing to "Nasty" Jamie Foxx, Bill Bellamy and DL Hughley were funny in doing their spoofs. For those who saw Janet perform, did anyone notice that the dancers were wearing outfits that were featured in her previous videos? I thought the concept was pretty cool!!! I didn't realize that until the perfomance was almost over - am I slow or what?

KUDOS to the one who thought of that! The final performance by Janet and her dancers was, of course just like Janet...AWESOME!

Shalom~

I did realize that. My boyfriend and I were trying to figure out which video outfits were represented. I saw Scream, Escapade, If, Rhythm Nation, the video with Busta Rhymes, and that video where she's jumping all over the country (I think it's called Runaway). But that's all I saw.

Okay, I am a def. Janet, hmm, not hater, but def. non-liker (her voice is as light as cotton candy, and yall know it! )...but I thought the dance with the different outfits worn by the back-up dancers was cool! I guess I'm the only one who liked the band doing "Nasty"...that was the @*&% to me!!! Those were the only parts I saw, but even mean-old-Janet-critic me thought those parts were tight.

And DST Love, I'm witchu, babe. I do not get why people think Beyonce and her chambermaids (no, they don't even get to be handmaidens in Queen B.'s kingdom ) are the shiznit...I truly don't...but I did think that remix of their first song was tight, but I'm giving most of that credit to Wyclef and whichever producer propped them up.

AKA2D calls the group "Beyonce's Child".

Like someone said before...I'm not hating, just concerned because I luvs me some Janet. I think she looks awesome but thought her face just looked a little "pinched". I don't want to tune in one day and see her looking like LaToya And N4L...I've seen her in concert TWICE. I loved both of them. She puts on quite a show.

LOL @ Beyonce's Child. I thought up Petulant Child earlier today...throw that one on the pile too!

How about "Beyonce and Them" - no need to remember the other members' names; who knows how long they will be in the group

I feelin the lyrics to their new song "Survivor". Whether or not you're a Destiny's Child fan the song is pretty inspirational and aside from the speaking of their trial and tribulations with the group the lyrics can be applied to anyone who has ever faced adverse situations in their life and have perservered (sp).

N'Sync's rendition of "That's the Way Love Goes" was soooo good. Destiny's Child sounded very good on "Let's Wait A While". As much as I can't stand Beyonce, they know they can harmonize their behinds off. And Pink tore it up doing the end part of "Miss You Much". I thought it was all very good. I wonder if they will continue to do this Icon thing and who will be next. I think one on Madonna would be good. If they could do Michael Jackson, that would be better.

DST LOVE, WHY CAN'T YOU STAND BEYONCE?

I mean it ain't all that. I don't care about them that much. I just don't like how she comes off in interviews, talk shows, etc. The thing that did it for me was how she acted back when Farrah was in the group and they were talking to Jay Leno. It's too long to explain, but put it this way my boyfriend was trippin' when we were watching it. He said Beyonce makes sure they all know their place. But whatever !!

It gets on my nerves. I don't know why, maybe it's because they have Kelly in the back screaming "what" every three seconds! She's basically just trying to get bak at the fomer "Beyonce's Churin" telling how she won't blast them on the radio and internet..blah...blah...blah.. Her mama taught her better than that....

Yeah right!
