When buying tickets for a gig billed as “Number Ones Tour”, you’d expect the evening to be a musical extravaganza where the arena quickly becomes a mass karaoke session with the punters singing back towards the performer.
Well, that would be correct in nearly every instance apart from when Janet Jackson is involved.
At times we sometimes forget that she is a member of the Jackson tribe because, of all the wacky gang, she ranks fairly low on the list in terms of talent and fame. Michael Jackson grabbed most of the families singing and dancing ability, leaving Janet to feed on the scraps that aren’t good enough to be b-sides. Imagine our surprise when we saw a poster advertising a new Janet Jackson number one tour. We didn’t realise she had enough fans to dint the top forty, let alone the number one spot.
