At a glance
The Smart Araneta Coliseum was alive with the energy of Janet Jackson's fans, who danced and sang along to her hits during the "Together Again" concert on March 13.
At 57, Janet Jackson continues to amaze with her timeless talent. Her hits, spanning a remarkable 40-year-long music career, are a testament to her enduring appeal and her ability to keep the party going.
The concert kicked off with a slideshow of Janet's childhood photographs, a nostalgic journey that led to the present. The crowd erupted in cheers as the music icon took the stage, performing' Damita Jo' and a string of her biggest hits, including 'Feedback,' 'If,' 'Got Till It's Gone,' and' That's The Way Love Goes.'
After the first interlude, Janet kept the party going by performing more hits from her Grammy-nominated album, "Control," such as "Nasty," "What Have You Done For Me Lately," and "Pleasure Principle."
Backed by stunning male dancers, the party shifted to high gear as Janet introduced and performed her first No. 1 song, "When I Think of You," in 1986. She followed it up with snippets of her hits, "Diamonds" and "Best Things (In Life Are Free)."
Janet slowed down while performing her ballads, including "Let's Wait Awhile," "Come Back To Me," and "Again." I remember when Janet Jackson performed "Again" live for the first time at the 1996 Oscars for the movie "Poetic Justice." Although the song didn't win the Best Song award, her performance was enough to keep her fans smiling.
It was disappointing when she let the fans sing "Again" instead of performing it herself. She also included in her playlist the songs "Anytime Anyplace" and "I Get Lonely."
Following the second interlude, Janet performed more hits such as "All For You," "Miss You Much," "Love Will Never Do Without You," "Alright," "Escapade," "Black Cat," and "Rhythm Nation."
Janet paid homage to her late brother, the King of Pop, Michael Jackson when she performed "Scream" from 1995 with the official music video of the song playing in the background.
For her encore, Janet performed "Together Again" from her 1997 album "The Velvet Rope."
Sorry, guys. Janet did not perform "Runaway," "Where Are You Now," and "Whoops Now!" during the show, as presented by Live Nation Philippines. Maybe next time?
But the almost two-hour show brought lots of memories and fun to all the titas and titas of Manila, including the millennials.
