Janet Jackson - The Velvet Rope Tour (Live in Concert) (DTS) | Year: 1998 Classification: Music Video - Pop/Rock Directed: - David Mallet What a Show! Janet's VELVET ROPE tour began in Europe in April 1998, and lasted well into the fall of 1998, hitting various countries to support her album THE VELVET ROPE. THE VELVET ROPE is Janet's most personal offering, with songs about acceptance, personal pain, etc. The tour is a must see. Janet takes on various personas through different costume changes, that symbolize her songs. Not only does she sing songs from THE VELVET ROPE, but she digs back, all the way to CONTROL and RHYTHM NATION 1814 with songs the fans have always loved. As tiring as the tour is, this party doesn't stop, as she entertains through and through during this concert. There is a charisma with Janet on stage, between her and the fans, her and the dancers, anyone she wants to make contact with. This is a show for the fans, and a show that doesn't disapoint. Highlight performances include the Control Medley, the Escapade Medley, If, Rhythm Nation, What About, and more. Give this one a whirl if you want to be entertained! Janet Rules Even if you're not a Janet fan, you'll appreciate how wonderful she is in concert. She is very athletic, beautiful, and has extremely powerful vocals. Her sets have to be the best in the business, with playful scenes, dark scenes, and even a scene where she brings an audience member on to stage for a special performance. Janet changes outfits so many times, you'd think she pass out from exhaustion, but she keeps on pushing out all those wonderful high/low notes till the end. The sound track is also great, there may be audience roars, but JJ can be heard VERY easily over them; actually, the crowd's yelling is sort of a bonus in that the viewer can see & hear what the audience is feeling about those same pieces (they're always applauding for more). The DVD is well assembled with a great track listing, sound recording, and the video is excellent as well; if you have or haven't seen Janet in concert, it won't matter, because this is a great DVD for the novice and experienced. 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!
