Rating: Summary: good Review: The concert was her best. Great twists and turns on the concert, kept my attention most of the time.
Rating: Summary: Go Deeper Review: It is always great to see Janet live! This DVD gives a good impression about her live performance skills. She dances very good. There's also other dances, chairs etc. This DVD has lots of good tracks Janet has made during the years. The first (in my opinion) is not so good for a opening track. It is too peaceful. The next song would have been better. "If" and "You" are one of my favourites in this DVD. There's also a couple of medleys. They are good but there should have been also one medley. It is quite hard to follow two medleys in one live concert. They are very good but still two????There's good moments in the track "Rope Burn". I like it when Janet ties up her assistant. The poor man is in the chair during the song... My favourite songs are "If", "You", "Escapade", "Nasty", "Go Deep", "Rhythm Nation", "Black Cat" (it's a classic rock song!!!), and "The Pleasure Principle". The final track "Together Again" is way too peaceful. Because of two medleys and bad start/end I will only give four star. But it is still great to hear those songs live including the classic ballads "Let's Wait Awhile", "I Get Lonely", and "That's the Way Love Goes". The track list: 1.Velvet Rope 2. If 3.You 4. Let's wait awhile / again 5. Control Medley: - Control - The Pleasure Principle - What have you done for me lately - Nasty 6. Throb 7. Escapade Medley: - Escapade - When I think of you - Miss you much - Runaway - Love will never do (Without you) 8. Alright 9. I get lonely 10. Anytime, anyplace 11. Rope burn 12. Black cat 13. What about 14. Rhythm Nation 15. Special 16. That's the way love goes 17. Got til it's gone 18. Go deep 19. Together again
Rating: Summary: i watch it all the time Review: janet looks like she's immulating her brother michael a bit , because she has these angry\confident exxpressions on her face. i remember when it first aired on october 12th , 1998 on HBO , it was the end of her world tour promoting her "velvet rope" album. "for the past 2 tours , and the only 2 that i've done it's always been the states first and this time i've made a decision to start in europe" , she said in an interview back in early '98 when her tour was on the brink of begining. the show was unbeliveable!!! she collaborated with some dancers she danced with on her last album project , "janet." -tina landon (choreogorpher) -tyce diorio (lokkin' good , lookin' really , really good!!) -shawnette "BUCKY" (what was her last name?) -and others..... the way she transformed from the "circus-like\fun-fair" vibe of "escapade" , to the "erotic\striptease" of "rope burn" , all the way up to the "closing\farewell" performance of "together again" was truly insparational. i don't think we'll ever know how ms.jackson ("if you're nasty!")does it!! she works so damn hard and this show proves it! P.S. : she's REALLY lucky to dance with tyce!!!
Rating: Summary: Janet always gets 5 stars! Review: This dvd is amazing! Janet is off the hook! However, I must say that I ADORE THE HAWAII dvd just released recently, and would recommend that one over this one...Janet looks so fab in the Janet in Hawaii dvd, and I love "All for You" and all the songs on that same cd that the Velvet Rope tour doesn't provide. Also, All for you has so many hit songs, not just her most recent cd to promote. I am only to be trusted if you have my same taste in "Janet" experiences! :) I know "The Velvet Rope" is one of her most (if not the most) critically acclaimed work of her career, but for me, it is too dark. I like some of the songs like "Go Deep" but for me, sexy Janet aka Janet. and "All for You" are the cds for me. Let me preface what I said by saying that ANYTHING Janet is worth owning, and I did give this 5 stars which says that anything beyond this DVD(for me) is just out of this world!!! Janet is a true performer, and she knows how to work it, and after seeing Miss Janet live, her dvd's come close to reliving the magic! Standout performances on this disc are "What About?" the haunting domestic abuse song, as well as "If" the classic song, as well as medleys of her best songs. If you get a chance, why not pick up Janet in Hawaii and add this on to your "Velvet Rope Tour" purchase! :)
Rating: Summary: GREAT CONCERT!! Review: THIS CONCERT IS AMAZING!! I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO PURCHASE THIS CONCERT.THE ENERGY IS JUST UNBELIEVABLE!!
Rating: Summary: This is the Best Janet Concert, ever... Review: I say this after seeing 'All For You' live and on DVD. The visual elements, costumes, and the video board integration to the set are artful and perfectly implemented. The opening song ("The Velvet Rope") is directed, choreographed, and presented just perfectly, and made me proud to have loved Janet Jackson since the 'Good Times' and 'Fame' days. Janet actually directed the show from the stage, she's the greatest. One thing missing from the VHS version is the first guy brought to the stage during 'Rope Burn'. I loved how she dismissed him. Her and Tina's choreography on this album was flawless too. Tina Landon, I sure do miss you....
Rating: Summary: All Hail the Queen of Pop Review: Okay, I'll admit it...I'm a Janet fan. But you've got to give it to her, Girlfriend is a fantastic performer. This video proves it. I've seen her live twice and this video brought me back to the great times I had at those concerts. She gives so much of herself that you don't mind the price you paid for the tickets. With that in mind, this video is a bargain at any price. Madonna who?
Rating: Summary: Rather impressive Review: This is single handedly Janet's greatest touring achievement. Yes, the usual medleys are there. Yes, there's quite a bit of lip-synching. Yes, some of the sets are similar to that of the janet. tour. But, what truly shines through in this performance is Janet's energy. Not to mention the near perfection of the setlist. Yes, this tour is filled with perfect pop confection, a few serious moments here and there, but most importantly, the 'fun' element is uberpresent. Quite an impressive show, Ms. Jackson.
Rating: Summary: Hmmm....Ok at best... Review: Janet Jackson is a very talented women. I will give her that much...but she tries way to hard to be Madonna. Madonna did the whole tie me up thing before you, Janet, and it was obvious that you copied her. But it's all good. The show was great, and unlike Madonna (who sings NO old songs) Janet sang almost all of her greatest hits from the 80s which was awesome. She could have put some more color into the show...and gosh take off those black slacks. The dancer with the short bleached blonde hair was annoying to no extent but the other dancers were cool. The only problem with this concert, is that the transition from one song to the other is really awkward. She should have really thought out the order of each song much better than what she actually did. She should have opened with a hit song too, and done much more with Got 'til It's Gone. Buy this video, it's fun to watch....but lacks a lot of thought.
Rating: Summary: AWESOME! Review: This tour was so cool. The songs she sang were great, and most of them are from her latest album at that time, which was The Velvet Rope. In my opinion, it was also her best album. After seeing the All For You tour, I really think that The Velvet Rope Tour was MUCH better and her most mature effort. She is so talented and has a lot to offer. The show and DVD are great! It's a MUST HAVE!
