CHICAGO, ILLINOIS // THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25TH 2008 » The critically-acclaimed superstar Janet Jackson lit up the Allstate Arena on Thursday night (September 25th). Seven long years and three albums later Janet Jackson has decided to tour once again to give her fans that “nasty” flavor she always delivers. Miss Jackson sparked the stage with her high-tech space themed show, which she opened with three of her classic hit singles, “The Pleasure Principle”, “Control”, and “What Have You Done for Me Lately”, all from her 1986 breakthrough album, Control, moving to the original choreography from her 20 year material.

Janet Jackson has left Island Def Jam Recording label, as confrimed by producer Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins from his recent vlog on Rap-Up.

There had been speculation that the youngest Jackson was having issues with the label, but we now have confirmation that she has been released from her contract. Janet signed to Island Def Jam in 2007 and released Discipline, her first album on the label, in February of this year. It debuted at No. 1, but sold less in its first week than Janet’s last two albums, 2006’s 20 Y.O. and 2004’s Damita Jo. Jerkins produced the album’s first single “Feedback” and follow-up “Luv.”

“We didn’t get the support from the record company,” he discloses. “[Janet] felt like it wasn’t pushed. I felt like it wasn’t pushed correctly. She just didn’t get her just due as an artist of that magnitude.”

Jerkins also shares his thoughts on Janet’s Rock Witchu Tour and looks to the future. “I could make an album with her, possibly me, Jimmy Jam, and Terry Lewis. Keep it real simple. They focus on what they’re great at, I focus on what I’m great at. We come together and make a classic Janet record.”

Due to the faithful YouTubers and Janet fans who attended the concert in Vancouver posted videos and comments on how much they loved the seeing the show. Janet Jackson replies in video form! Check it out above.
