Last month we learned that Janet Jackson will tour the world starting in February on a 35-city outing called The Number Ones Greatest Hits Tour. Today we get our first look at the North American tourdates for her show, which will span the months of March and April … are you ready for some Janet, Miss Jackson if you’re nasty?
Janet Jackson will be bringing her JANET JACKSON Number Ones, Up Close and Personal Tour to North America. The legendary Icon took the suggestions of her fans to heart and after her start in Asia she will be bringing the tour to the United States and Canada. Janet will be performing songs from her 35 number one hits in 35 global cities. Fans submitted suggestions to www.janetjackson.com to have their city selected. The winning cities so far have been over seas including Singapore on February 7th, Hong Kong on February 14th, and Taipei on February 19th and Manila February 4th. This tour will differ from her previous concert schedules in that she will perform music exclusively from her chart topping CD NUMBER ONES. There will also be a focus on venues that will allow Janet to be up close and personal in a much more intimate setting. In each selected city JANET will offer something different to her performance so no show will be the same. This tour is JANET more revealed, more intimate, and more personal than ever before. Don’t look for special effects. Just listen to and look at Janet, as you have never seen her before. Janet has expressed her gratitude and excitement for the upcoming shows in North America with the following statement:
“I thank my fans who have voted and helped me choose the cities we are announcing today. Each of you are so important to me. These concerts will be different from anything I have ever done. I will be as up close and personal as possible. These concerts are not about special effects. This is a love affair between me and those of you who have supported me and my work for all these years. I’ll be singing and dancing from my heart. The music will all be songs that you’ve made number ones for me. Let’s go!”
In each city I want to meet 20 young leaders who are changing their communities for the better. Please contact janetjackson.com so that I will know who is making a major difference in your city. I’m asking my fans and their friends, Parents, relatives, neighbors and teachers to nominate five people to qualify as one of the 20 under 20 in each place I will perform. At each concert the 20 people chosen and the person who nominated them will be VIP guests at my show. I will invite the 20 sponsors and the 20 winners to the concert and backstage. There are many young people changing the world and I want them to be recognized during my tour. I want them to be my guest at my show and they will come backstage as I learn from them how young people are changing the world. You all know someone who is making a difference, so get in touch. I love you all and I can’t wait to be back on stage, I’ve missed you,” –Janet

Wee!! The release of Britney Spears‘s new single Hold It Against Me earlier today has already ensured that 2011 will be a great year for pop music … having Janet Jackson on tour only solidifies that fact. I am SO excited to see JJ live. I have never been able to see her in concert before so you can bet I’ll be at at least on of these shows. Mark your calendars, get your tickets … Janet Jackson is coming!!
