Not only did she have to find a way to branch out from her talented family tree, but also from similar-styled female artists such as Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston, who used their sultry pipes to win over listeners. She's had to fight for prestige twice as hard as anyone.
This tour, like other performances by artists of her regal stature, serves two purposes: to remind people how much they love Jackson’s previous work and to play new material to prove she's still current. When it ended, Jackson just stood there for a minute to soak up the applause. A case of the Mondays was swiftly cured by the party taking place. In the 10 minutes that followed, Jackson, clad in a black leather outfit that not even Justin Timberlake could remove, strutted with her extraordinary J-Tribe dancers, and performed a medley of her hits ranging from “Nasty” to “Miss You Much” at a relentless pace. Those memories were bustled to the forefront when the audience at the Comerica Theatre saw the silhouette of Jackson behind the curtains as the voice of Missy Elliott introduced “BURNITUP,” her collaboration with Jackson on her Jackson's album Unbreakable.
As the years went by, the world seemed to forget that they had once stamped their passports and went away on an “Escapade” and let themselves get swept away by the choreography, talent, and remarkable singing voice of the one of the most prolific and influential female artists of our time. There was a time when if you told your friends you were going to see a “Janet concert,” they knew without further explanation you were going to see the leader of the Rhythm Nation, or Miss Jackson if you’re nasty.
