Rating: 5.0
I just wished I was THAT guy!
This video showcases Janet Jackson as the equal of Madonna, Elton John, and any artist that has the big scale concert productions. All the costumes and theatrics are first rate, and why shouldn't it be? There's no need to "kid glove" her, Janet is at the top of her game. I have friends, you know, Aerosmith fans, or others that call themselves rock and roll "purists". They have always laughed at the mention of Janet Jackson as a peer to the Rolling Stones of the world. To each his own, I guess. Who needs them. Janet never needed to go begging for validation.If you do not have a stereo VCR plugged into a room sound system by now, you can't get the real pleasure of this or any concert video. It's the only way to appreciate the depth of the sound. And finally, what man doesn't envy the guy that was chosen to be the on-stage object of Janet and the girls! I cannot sing "My, My, My" as good as Johnny Gill, but this is as close as any man could hope to get to Ms Jackson. There would have been no hope for me even if I was there at the concert. I would have been in the cheap seats trying to make out which one was Janet.
