Janet - Live in Hawaii

Starring:Janet Jackson
Studio: Warner Home Video
Product Type: DVD

Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Staying relevant in the eye-candy Britney and 'N Sync era, Janet Jackson puts her dancers, costume changers, and set designers through their paces in a two-hour visual (and occasionally aural) spectacular from Hawaii on the final night of her 2001 All for You tour. For 26 songs, Janet changes flashy outfits seemingly a dozen times; backstage cameras show assistants helping the star out of one costume and into another, although the discreetness (no nudity here!) suggests it's either been pretaped or "rehearsed" at earlier shows. Still, this unique behind-the-scenes glimpse is something her rivals wouldn't show--Janet has raised the bar.

Jammin' JANET!!!.......2007-01-14

This Collector's Edition DVD set is fantastic. Not only did it have me singing along to every song, but dancing to them as well. The Velvet Rope Tour is a concert Janet had @ New York City's Madison Square Garden which was excellent. The Live in Hawaii concert was phenomenal and this particular concert shows Janet during some of her "quick-changes" backstage preparing for the next number to be performed. That was exceptionally cool to see. Both of these shows give the viewer the feeling of actually being there @ the concerts up close. Janet was proficient, professional and positively SEXY!!! :)

Janet Jackson grown up(sorta).......2007-01-09

I enjoyed the concerts very much. The parts I did not enjoy were the childish segments designed for 5 year olds. Other than that good product for the money.

janet in concert.......2006-10-28

My velvet rope concert DVD is destroyed from playing it too much and I never got a chance to buy the all for you dvd since I've been to the show anyways and have the HBO special taped from tv but I'm going to buy this to replace my older copies that aren't very clear anymore. I wish they would release the Rhythm nation and janet. tours on DVD which are much better than these two although these are also amazing.

These are the Two Best Janet DVDs Ever!!.......2006-01-14

Janet kicks anyone's butt who tries to top her. She is by far the best performer of the Pop era. The Velvet Rope & Live in Hawaii are classics. I own them both seperatly but I'm reviewing this because it's the two combined. WOULD YOU MIND is so hott!! God Bless You All who LOVE Janet & GOD BLESS JANET!!

Janet At Her Absolute Best!!!.......2005-03-15

I own these two DVD's seperately but they are both worth buying (especially live in hawaii). These concerts are definitely at her best in her musical career. Not only is the singing and dancing entertaining, but the costumes and sets are something that you'll never forget either. Both concerts are unique and something that you have not seen many artists, if any, do. It is definitely worth buying these two tours.

Mediocre Plastic Performance.......2007-06-26

Compared to her fantastic previous tours, this one just didn't cut it. It's a shame her Rhythm Nation and Janet tours were never recorded for distribution, as those performances, along with The Velvet Rope tour, showed what a fantastically seasoned performer Janet can be. This one seemed a bit too rehearsed. And she was struggling to hit notes like never before, which was nothing short of embarrassing. She didn't really interact much with the audience, either. For the third consecutive tour, she pulls a guy out from the audience and gropes him. Is that talent or just skankiness? I guess it's up to the viewer.

The backstage dressing room interludes were so contrived, rehearsed and pre-taped, it was an insult to the viewer. In the last minute of the "Rhythm Nation" song performance, she takes her sunglasses off and throws them into the crowd, but then she and her dancers walk backstage and...OOPS!...her sunglasses magically re-appear on her head! BUSTED! And those dressing room scenes weren't filmed to give us a peek into backstage events...they were so obviously choreographed to give Janet another opportunity to sell her body.

The "All For You" tour was the beginning of Janet's decline into nothing but sex, songs about sex, videos about how sexy she is...blah blah blah. She's lost the competitive hunger that made her so great and this performance proved it.

Not an inspiring performance.......2006-01-11

Janet is a Jackson and so her "good" performance would qualify as someone else's "great." Perhaps it's because it was the last show of the tour, but it feels overly rehearsed and uninspiring. If you've ever seen Michael in concert, you'd see the difference. Michael gives you his all. Janet does a good job, but it's not like she's giving you her all.

The Queen of Dance R&B.......2005-10-27

Beyonce? britney? JLo? Please! None of these woman have anything on Miss Janet "if ya nasty" Jackson. Janet is, in my opinion, the greatest female performer of all time. Her dancing & performance skills are top notch, her voice is so pretty & all of these youngin performer's now are just re-enacting what they've seen Janet do for years. Here, she does not dissapoint with a show so spectacular, it looks like a Las Vegas production. A definite keeper! All the great songs, many new ones & Janet looks gorgeous, with a body that's worthy of envy!

the best tour!.......2005-10-11

janets has done it once again i love her tours they are always energetic and very colorful. i recommend to all amazon buyers because it so energetic and very free so to speak. Go janet!

a representation of janet as a musican and person.......2005-04-12

This tour was a carefree, lighthearted tour made up of bright colours, great dance moves and choreography, amazing stage sets and sexy costumes. It was a celebration of janet after her depression and divorce and she completely shone with her stunning 2001 comeback on her All For You tour. It represented her as a person beautifully and her naughty side. It is however a bit similar to the velvet rope tour but with more costumes and stage sets and newer songs incorporated into the setlist. I seriously think Feels so Right, China Love and and Better Days should have been incorporated into the show. Feels so right would have gone perfectly with the got till it's gone/that's the way love goes medley, China Love would have been perfect with the stage set and costumes used for If and Better Days could have been an acoustic number incorporated somewhere into the show cause it has such a meaningful message. Anyways this is recommended, along with the Velvet Rope concert DVD, britney and christina can only wish to be as great as janet!
