Summary: Good Exercise Video
Review: This could be a 5 star exercise video but as for music it is 2 stars. I was thinking that maybe Janet would be in the same league as Madonna, Britney, Cher, Kylie, Christina... and found this dvd to have good costumes, sets, etc but the music and singing was not at all in the same league as those mentioned. This one is not a keeper.

Summary: not perfect ...
Review: First of all, I'm a fan of Janet ! And i can say ...this performace is not perfect....Choreography rocks ! , Band Rocks! , Janet singing helloooo ? there's something wrong with that ! I know dancing and singing at the same time may be a problem but for such a star as Janet should be piece of cake ... Janet has to choose : Excellent Choreography and dance moves or Excellent Singing voice because both of them doesn't seem to work for her ... I recommed to watch DVD and listen to CD at the same time :)

Summary: please!!!
Review: janet jackson is one hell of an overrated performer,and if it weren't for her contacts, and her family, we all know she'd never be heard of!!!WHY???BECAUSE JANET CANNOT SING, AND HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING NEW GOIN' FOR HER AS AN ENTERTAINER!!!!Now, one can tell that Janet can't really sing from her studio recording, but it doesn't matter because they are well-produced, and she sounds sweet and pleasant.But trust me, that is not so in her live performances!!!!I saw this one day when it was airing on HBO, and I just sat there with my mouth opened wide in embarassment for Janet.Throughout the whole concert I barely heard, and did not understand ONE SINGLE WORD SHE WAS FREAKIN SAYIN!!!I mean, if you sound so awful live, then why go out with it???It gets me wondering how freakin' biased all these people are who give this show such high rating!!!You really gotta be deaf to not know what I'm talkin' about.Her band and backup werre also so bland, and added NOTHING to the concert whatsoever.As for the show, it doesn't matter how many fireworks,dancers, or pizzaz she throws in there, if it's not done with taste then it looks cheap!!!Well, that is just the case!!!Jant copies a bazillion moves from her bro', while desperately trying to be Madonna.She fails both, and creates a neither captivating, nor original show.I don't understand how anyone can like this.

Summary: Hats Off to Janet and the All For You DVD.
Review: I'm very happy to have seen her in concert and to now see her in Hawaii doing it again was great! The best feature of this DVD is the "Would You Mind" block. It's funny to see her expression from these guys who do everything to keep their composure or go wild while they're strapped in. The pictures are from the tour book, still the shots are awesome. I enjoyed this concert a lot. Everything from the songs, behind the scenes, Carly and Missy, even the breakdown in "Doesn't Really Matter" after she introduces everyone. As with another reviewer, I miss Tina Landon. Shaunette, Eddie, and Gil did good jobs, but Tina and her style of choreograpy wasn't there. I guess it's all about moving on and trying different things. Hey, there's nothing wrong with that. Cheers

Summary: A great concert, but...
Review: It's not better than "The Velvet Rope" tour. Buy that one first if you want to see the best Janet has to offer on Tour. This one was more laid back and personable. You got to see more of Janet--the lady, and less Janet--high powered performer. I would have loved to see choreography for "Someone to Call My Lover", and "Love Will Never Do (Without You)", and others, but it's still great. Finally, (yes I'm gonna say it), Tina Landon is sorley missed here. Shawnette Heard and Gil are good choreographers, but Tina's the best. Her and Janet made magic together.

Summary: Janet's Hawaiian Spectacular
Review: Janet Jackson never ceases to amaze. As a performer and recording artist she is highly innovative and very exciting. Her live concerts combine intense choreography, spectacular theatrics and design with dynamic and pulsating vocals. In this huge production beautifully filmed recently in Hawaii, we glimpse Janet in all her guises: from the child in a garden full of colorful science fiction characters to a black leather clad Dominatrix teasing male fans in the audience. She gyrates and sweats her way through some twenty-five songs, never missing a beat or losing a grain of that boundless energy. Based largely on the recent best selling album, All for You, Janet is easily at her best in the many dance numbers when her svelte toned body and rhythmic gifts burn at breakneck speed. These include the stunning 'Come On, Get Up' opening, the funky 'Nasty' medley and explosive 'Rhythm Nation'. But she is equally remarkable in the more reflective 'Come Back To Me' and lot's of fun on 'Escapade'. One of the highlights is 'Son of a Gun', Janet's rendition of the Carly Simon hit, 'I Bet You Think This Song Is About You': It includes Carly actually singing part of the lyric on a large screen. Also 'Got 'Till It's Gone' has two great back-up singers providing a nice harmony. This DVD will appeal to both Janet devotees and pop concert "event" enthusiasts alike. Recorded in incredible DTS Digital Surround and full screen format, this dual layer disc also includes a compilation of the 'Would You Mind' number and a photo gallery of images from the 'All for You' concert program. There is also a song selection option if you want to watch your favourite track over and again. So consider adding Janet Live in Hawaii to your list today! It's fantastic!

Summary: Simply Gorgeous
Review: Janet Jackson alwyas seems to top herself than in previous years. She truly is a musical legend. This DVD sees usual tour favorites such as the Whimsical Medley, That's The Way Love Goes and Got T'il Its Gone..but also includes many many many All For You tracks (off her 2001 Album - All For You)..Son Of A Gun preformence features rapper and friend Missy Elliot for her part, too bad Missy had to be lame and lip-sing..or lip-rap?
Typical of every Janet tour, we saw another sexy number..."Would You Mind" saw Janet picking an audience member..and well let's just say having a little fun with him on stage, its a definite not miss. Also included in the DVD is the "Would You Mind" Compilation from past shows on the AFY tour, really hilarious feature..some of the WYM guys are too hilarious and Janer starts laughing on stage..she even has to stop singing the song! Overall, this DVD is a must have..and while your at your DVD store besure to pick up Janet's 1998 concert "The Velvet Rope", better than this tour believe it or not.

Summary: The dancing's the deal!
Review: My girl Janet is in her mid-30's now, but you'd never know it by the amazing amount of energy she expends throughout this live concert. First, let me say I've been a huge fan ever since she released the "Control" album many moons ago (1986, wasn't it?), and one of the things that has made me such a huge fan for this many years has been her dancing as well as her unfailingly catchy music. The "Rhythm Nation 1814" album has never been topped, as it contained her best music as well as her best video choreography/dancing ... and much to my delight, much of the original choreography is preserved in the live version of "Rhythm Nation" in this show. Both the song and the dancing still send chills down my spine, and the message of the song clearly still means a lot to Janet. It was also a thrill to see what I consider the best song/video/you name it/ that Janet's ever made, "Alright", still being given the full treatment with 40's-style yet funkily updated costumes like in the video -- all that's missing is Cab Calloway! As always, her joyously energetic "Black Cat" had me up out of my chair dancing (this was only 1/2 hour after eating a huge Christmas dinner, mind you). Fortunately for those of us who have been Janet fans since the early days, she still gives us our fix of "Nasty" and a medley of the older hits as well as the newer gems like "All For You". I don't know how she was able to do the intricate choreography of "If" and "Rhythm Nation" so late into the show, as the entire thing involved so much energy and different choreography, she should rightfully have been exhausted by that time. This is an amazing DVD showing an amazing live performance by an amazing woman. The extras (interview, photo gallery, etc.) are just icing on the cake. Janet fans need to own this DVD. And if you're not a fan, buy it anyway. I guarantee you'll be a convert. That young whippersnapper Britney has nothin' on Miss Janet.
