Customer Reviews of Janet Jackson - The Velvet Rope Tour

Her first name ain't "Baby"!
It's JANET! And what a DVD this is. Killer sets, great dance numbers (my only complaint is that not all the dancers can be seen all the time, and they're working as hard as Miss Janet. I think more on-screen time next go 'round should be afforded to these talented, energetic individuals.) And Janet sings her heart out - all your favorites, from "If" to a medley of "Control" hits, to a razor-edged rendition of "Black Cat". The emotional song, however, is "What About", with dancers in the background enacting various scenes of violence between men and women, with men being the aggressors. A powerful song, "What About" only speaks more eloquently with its visuals. This DVD is never leaving my collection! Can't wait for Janet's new CD!

(And there is one awesome seduction number in the song "Rope Burn". You know that guy onstage will never forget THAT experience! Turn that track on when you curl up with your honey one evening!)

The One and Only... MS. JACKSON (If you are nasty)
This DVD is one of my all time favorite musical DVDs. Miss Jackson proves why she is the highest paid singer in the industry. With a combination of costume changes, great choreography, Janet's greatest hits, and a sold out crowd at Madison Square Garden, the DVD makes for an excellent night of entertainment. I only regret that I was not able to see the concert in person here in my home town due to a cancelation of the concert;however, the DVD is definately a suitable substitute. I highly recommend this DVD to any fans of Janet, lovers of music, and owners of quality DVDs.

A Great Performance From Janet
In 1998, I got the rare opportunity to see Janet Jackson in concert held in Minneapolis, during "The Velvet Rope" tour. The show was amazing. All of the physical features and her performances were breathtaking. Though nothing beats the live experience, this DVD wonderfully commemorates the tour.

Months before, she released an album of the same name that was unusually different than her previous. She was always known for her positive songs. However, the album entirely explored her painful turbulations, including abuse, loss, depression, and others. These songs are based on thoughts she endured during her two-year depression, 1995-1997. Many listeners were shocked. Some of these songs gave this tour a new outlook. Despite revisiting many classic songs, audiences can feel her new style.

The elaborate stage direction gives the concert a more enjoyable experience. The three different backgrounds and the three different costumes add to the spectacular pleasure: inside the velvet rope theme, the circus-like theme, and the hip-hop theme. All blend perfectly with the dance moves and the songs. However, her vocal expressions remain present the whole performance while never being overlooked. Her facial expressions prove that she truly feels the songs. Through the sexuality, political motivation, the pain, and the anger, she maintains her full musical quality. All songs offer a new prospective through her life. She keeps audiences excited, always having fun.

"The Velvet Rope Tour" proves how truly great Janet Jackson is an entertainer. This DVD edition is great for all fans as this will surely please audiences for a long time. The tremendous quality proves that she'll continue entertaining for many more years. Go Janet!
