MISS

Firrrst!!!! Definitely a HIT!

I loved it!!!!! Definately a hit

It was better than anything BET has done for him, but I was scared for Janet for a moment when she did her knee slide, I thought she wasn’t going to make it back up. But all in all it was a good tribute. Kanye is a mess though I think since his mother died he started dating women I’m sure his mother wouldn’t approve of and he is messed up. He really needs an intervention ASAP

It was a hit! I love Janet!!

I think it was a NICE performance. It wasn’t spectacular. It was NICE. nothing more nothing less. RIP MJ

couldn’t w8 for madonna to stfu! janet did her thang!

It was a HITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

AGREE WITH HANNIBAL.. KANYE TOOK THE SHOW BY STORM ALREADY!!! LOL.

BUT UM.. I THINK SHE DID WELL. IT WAS FOR HER BROTHER… SO, ANYTHING IS GOOD.

Yes it was a HIT!!! Madonna speech was heartfelt as well. Get it Janet!!!!

i was almost first lol

Hit that tribute outta the park!

Loved It!

HIT! It was too short, though.

Ms. Janet looked Incredible, and she looked like the old janet. (she retired the mohawk).

Madonna looked good

A big damn miss. Exit stage left Miss Jackson

it was a nice performance and tribute. it wasnt a hit nor miss…it was just….nice

she did a wonderful job! but it was def too short…

GET IT JANET!!

It was a beautiful tribute big Hit! Kayne was wrong and very disrespectful!

janet looked ok performance nothing special luv madonna speech.NOW JACKSON GO HOME AND MOURN IN PEACE PLEASE

LOL are y’all serious? I think that people are only saying that it was a hit because it was a tribute to Michael. That was nice that she TRIED to do a tribute, but her performance was absolutely HORRIBLE! She lip synced the entire thing, and YOU COULD TELL! She also missed a whole bunch of steps and went to slow. No energy… it’s probably becaus she’s so old. MTV could’ve saved that wacka** TRIBUTE! Can somebody please make a REAL tribute for MJ?

Da dissing B

It was a definite hit! I loved the whole tribute with Michael and the guys on stage! Janet jammed as well…it all had me in tears!

JANET IS A BAAAADDD BISH!!!! SHE DID THE DAMN THANG, THATS HOW U DO A TRIBUTE!!!

I LOVED the tribute!!! And to those of you saying it was a miss, you must understand that Janet just lost her closest sibling and dedicated a performance to him. She did the best she could. It was better than nothing!

Janet’s performance was a hit. The only negative was, it was too short.

Let’s keep it 100 Janet did her thing considering she was very close to Michael it must have been very emotional for her to perform at all. For real for real- yes MTV did the Tribute but they cash in for the ratings of having Ms. Jackson and the fact that the King is no longer with us! I believe she did the performance out of respect that MTV always supported the Jacksons. So please fall back with the negative MJ RIP. Janet keep the legacy alive!

@ Megan you are so right

She did the DAMN thang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE JANET…A HIT

She did great. It was a good performance and for the people saying that the tribute was wack KICK ROCKS.

It was a hit……..someone call BET and explain to them that is what a tribute looks like

it was tight.

HIT!

It was a hit. Go Janet, can’t wait for the new CD. Love ya!

It was Ok it was sort of what i had in mind as a tribute but you could tell that She was lip singing and she almost broke her back when she jumped on her knees. All and all it was ok

I loved it! The tribute was very good! We have to remember, nobody can dance like MJ, not even his sister. Janet was great!!

Beginning to end…HIT!!!!!!

Hit!!!! Janet Killed it. RIP MJ and We love u Janet!!!

It was a Hit just too short and Madonna was too long.

Hit or Miss???! Not an appropriate question to ask since that was not the purpose of the performance! It’s a tribute to her own brother.

I love you Janet Jackson you the best just like your brother Job Well Done Mr. Jackson

Oh I meant to say Mrs. Jackson i’m so sorry I love Janet Jackson I meant to say Mrs. Jackson I just forgot the s sorry Janet my back I love you girl

RIP MICHAEL

Madonna spent too much time talking about herself. I would have learned to love more about MJ but I just kept hearing Madonna blab on and on and on about herself.

Less Madonna and more Janet would have been best.

A HIt fo sho!

IT WAS A MISS!!!!….BUT IT IS GOOD TO SEE HER

I thought it was nice…yes, she did miss a few steps….BUT, let me tell you something…if I lose that brother of mine, there is not one iota way in hayell that I could stand up and dance with his voice and presence behind me. It would be a WRAPPITY WRAP WRAP! So, on that note, that is why I believe she did a pretty good job.

HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!

^^ I would have loved to learn more about MJ…

DUDE RIP MJ I LOVE YOU MS. JACKSON!!!!

I think she did ok, the performance definetly doesn’t reflect the so called 15 hour days she spent rehearsing this…

JANET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KILED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO MUCH EMOTION AND STRENGTH!!!!!!!!!!

WHEN THE F#$K WILL THEY LET CHRIS BROWN PERFORM HE WOULD HAVE KILLED IT.JANET DID GOOD

@Teresa

It wasn’t about Chris Brown.

Janet is his sister.

LOVED IT, LOVED IT, LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was a HIT!!!! Janet killed it; I wish it was longer, but she probably only wanted to do a short part of the tribute; I know I would if I’m grieving.

Absolutely a Hit~ Janet is Back as well did a FAB Performace……..Two Thumbs Up, MJ, RIP ~

HIT!!! All the way. My girl Janet tore it up.

mos def a hit..it was wayy better than that crap BET did

We actually are part of a rhythm nation.

It was a hit. She did great as always.

Definitely a HIT!

Wish it was longer….but Madonna talked a lot. lol

i could have taken a nap waitin for that boring tribute, janet missin steps all over the place, it really wasn’t exciting…no one dances like mike, but i think chris Brown could have made the performance more entertainment worthy…

hittttttttt do ya thang miss jackson

It was a good performance! I love Michael and Janet Jackson!!!

mtv could have done better…i guess chris brown is still black-listed, usher is going thru a divorce, ciara can’t sing…i guess they couldn’t have done any better. janet did the best she could

NOT ONLY was it a HIT BUT SHE KILLLLLLLLLLLLLED IT

IT WAS A MISS TO ME SOUNDS LIKE SHE HAD A COLD. BUTTHE DANCERS WERE CRAZIE THE TORE THE HOUSE DOWN. STILL LOVE U JANET

@ focused1 I couldn’t have said it better and it was far better than BET’s, Hell I know it was a last minute thing, but if you can’t do it right, then don’t do it! I don’t think BET could’ve done this even in the two months that they had! MTV really out did themselves and not that I have ever been a UBBER BET fan, I’m now not a fan at all…it started going downhill years ago, but this was that awards show compared to this one was nail in the coffin. Anyhoo I guess that was a vent, but I just needed to put that out there

Loved the performance…I only wished that she danced throughout the whole event. But it took alot of guts to performance right after MJ’s death. I wonder if she blames herself for his death, like they failed him.

@ Just a Thought….VERY WELL SPOKEN

I won’t say she missed but it wasn’t all it was pumped up to be she hit all her moves pulled a brittney spears it was good to see her

They can cut madonna 8 minutes out and pink i am liking russel brand though kayne performance was good lady ga ga cut her out please for the kids wtf

Janet gave a stellar performance. MJ would be proud. The Jackson are a very strong family who support one another through thick and thin. Joe and Katherine did a great job with their kids. I wish the family all the best. Would have been enjoyable to see Omer Bhatti perform along with Janet.

@jusrobin

I noticed some of Janets dancers from her last tour. Only major dancer I noticed was Lorianne Gibson but I heard Chris Judd was out there too.

I need to see the performance again.

I think Janet did a great job. People she is in her 40′s now not her 20′s. She did a great job. I just wish it could have lasted longer. Stop expecting the Janet from the 80′s or 90′s. She’s older now but she still can perform with the best of them. Shoot I’m just glad she didn’t break both her knees when she dropped to the floor and bounced right back up. For a 40 something woman that was awesome.

@misst and @justathought, Absolutely True, Rythm Nation was the best thing around, her and her brother dominated the late 80s and all of the 90s those two sibilings are very very talented and people often don’t give Ms. Jackson the credit she so rightfully deserves, but I think they will pay closer attention now…talk about a triple threat wonderful actor, dancer, and singer! RIP MJ, I love you Ms. Jackson, well done!!!

Ok second viewing…I see the major choreographers with her when she comes out. Tina Landon, Tyce Diorio, Brian Friedman, Lauriann Gibson, Gil Duldulao, and Wade Robinson. The guy with the big hair and beard I can’t remember his name but I know he teaches dance classes in LA. I think that adds to the performance because you’ll never see major choreographers at this level all dancing together.

I also don’t see “all the missteps” people keep mentioning. The only possible mistake I see is when she dropped to her knees and tried to get up quick. She was a little slow that’s all I noticed. People are acting like she fell. Overall I think it was good. I think most people wanted to see more of Janet though.

^^forgot Chris Judd

HIT!

she tripped a little, but she was the best of the night

this could be looked at more than one way. yes, I agree that her brother just passed two months ago and she is under emmense pressure so she should be praised for the performance she gave. on the other hand, its for michael, she could have killed that waaay better than that. either that or her age is creepin up on her. hell, mike is older than her and he was still killin it so i think she should have represented a lil better…just my opinion tho

A job Well Done Janet. She’s in her Mid-40′s and pulled this off. Also, Looks GReAT….She could go for 30 years old, even amidst her grieving. You Go Girl! We miss Michael & love you very much Janet…ALWAYS!!!

I loved it, she did a great job. I know her big bro is smiling!

NEW JANET SONG

Janet did that sh*t.

And damn she still looks good. lol

If you were at a funeral or church or anywhere, and a person’s family member got up and sang a song for their deceased family member, would you say “well her voice was cracked ,and she missed a few words, and she could have picked a better song” that would be an inappropriate response. I know Janet is a professional entertainer but that was her brother. She has said it more than once “To you, he is an icon to us he is family”.

Definitely a hit. Janet is the bomb. She was out there dancing while having to listen to her dead brother’s voice, and she is 40 yrs. old. I am 30 and couldn’t even imagine doing that. Go Janet!!!!!!!!!!! Love you so much, and you still got it girl.

JANET KILLED IT!!!

hit the end was super classic janet dancing and michael was on the screen thats whats up

HIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was cool, not Hot

COME ON!!! That tribute was definetely a miss as far as Janet is concerned. The lip singing was just the worse, if you ask me she shouldn’t of even bothered. Love Janet, shez probably the realest Jackson alive right now, but I was not feeling her tribute… Short & not that sweet.

How yall gone even question this! HELL YEA IT WAS A HIT!!!!!!!!!!

I FREAKIN LOVED IT ALL YALL HOES NEED TO STOP FUKIN HATING

It was beautiful tribute. They weren’t just entertainers this is her brother. Ummm, but i’m pretty sure her knees are aching. The dance break at the end looked difficult as hell.

Janet did her thang, but after all of the hype, I thought her performance would have been much longer.

I am a huge Janet fan, but I think it was a miss. She is older now and cannot move like she did a decade ago, but I till thought the tribute was nice.

HIT! THE TOTAL TRIBUTE WAS A HIT…………MUCH BETTER THAN WHAT B.E.T. THREW TOGETHER!

I loved the Tribute. Go Janet Go. The dancers were flawless. She did not make it about her like a lot of people would have done. She stayed true to the game and gave a fitting tribute to her brother, that’s why her part was so short. It was a tribute to him not her. I love Janet.

Her performace was horrible!!

That was a HIT!!!

Janet is the ONLY woman that can dance beside Michael and still get her shine!! Everybody else who has tried (i.e. Jackson 5) had to fall back.

MJ could have 100 people doing the choreography but he always kept your focus because out of the 100, nobody was getting it like him!

May the late great king rest in peace!!

Janet showed them b8tches why she is “MS JACKSON” the legend!!

Lets see Bey do “single ladies” 15 years from now, I don’t think so!!!! Janet is that B*tch!!

I love Janet and Micheal and think she did great.
Madonna hit it out of the park about how people treated Micheal and you never miss someone so much until they are gone. But what made Janet look so mad and why did she run so fast off the stage?

the performance was a hit. for the stupid people who keep saying the performance was Lip Syned what did you expect. How in the hell was she going to get her brothers voice without a voice over. At 43 Janet is better than all the youngins out there. Janet danced her azz off not booty slapped like beyonce.

Janet did her thing. The tribute was fabulous and I cried because you could really tell she was feeling her moves to honor MJ. The tribute was fabulous!

Lip synching just like mike woulda done!

If it were short and/or lip sync she did her best considering she lost her most closest relative. It took a lot for her to get on stage and perform, so no one can criticize her performance. Until anyone has walked in her shoes, please keep the negative comments to yourself. I understand this is a gossip site, however, lets consider her grieving. Again, it took a lot for her to perform, physically and emotionally. God Bless the Jackson Family, and Janet I applaud your performance.

I loved it

I loved it & wish it was longer. I was sitting down on the floor like a little kid! I don’t blame her for not wanting someone else to dance in his place she wanted to do it with him. They never performed that song live so I could only imagine what emotions she went thru doing it. Plus she looked mad as hell when she finished like “Now say something B*tches! – Work Janet!

She gets an A for effort, but she doesn’t move as sharp as she use to.. She did okay for a woman in her forties.

[...] Go to Source Share and Enjoy: [...]

In my opinion Janet did a GREAT job;it was a tribute to her brother,to whom she was very close. It has only been a couple of months since his death and that death was very unexpected. Let us not forget he was only laid to rest recently. For her to have to rehearse the moves that he did, and for all of the memories to come back…that is extremely hard. This was a song that they did together and to have him dancing behind her…that was a bit overwhelming I can imagine. To me it doesn’t matter if she is four or forty, this man was her brother and she honored him by doing somethin that they both enjoyed doing together. On a side note for all the people who say she had a lot of practice and she should have gone harder…wait until you lose someone close to you and then have the eyes of the world you you when you honor them.

It was a HIT!!!! Madonnas speech was great and heartfelt. This tribute was WAY BETTER than the crap BET put out.

Hit or a miss- it is what is is. She paid tribute to her brother- Way to go Janet….

CORRECTION**** Hit or a miss- it is what it is. She paid tribute to her brother- Way to go Janet.

This was definitely a hit. Especially since she just burried her brother.

LUVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVED IT! REP FOR YA BRO GIRL!!!!!!! SHE HELD IT DOWN!!!!!!!!!! RIP M.J.

b.e.t take notes

I hoped for soething longer but I loved her performance HIT

ITS A HIT JANET DID THE DAMN THING AINT NOBODY TOUCHIN HER WITH THE DANCIN AND I MEAN NOBODY LOVE U JANET SHE LOOKED REAL CUTE AT THE AWARDS ANYWAY I WISH HER THE BEST IN THE FUTURE AND HER NEW ALBUM.

HIT YALL KNOW JANET CAN DANCE SHE PROBABLY CAN’T KEEP UP WITH MIKE..

It was a HIT! Loved it!

Janet’s performance was a HIT! She killed it along with the dancers!!!

Seeing that Janet is damn near 50 she did a wonderful job!!! I can’t believe she dropped to her knees like that and popped up. GO GIRL! It’s a HIT!

Even though she lipsynched her dancing was good. That is all she was ever good at dancing. Her singing is just non existent!

Her performance was great. I have to agree with everyone else, it was too short.

Hit! I wish that her stage performance would have been longer.

TAKE NOTE CI-ERROR THATS WHAT A LIVE VOCAL SOUNDS LIKE – YEAH SHES NOT A POWER BALLADER LIKE WHITNEY OR MARIAH BUT JANET DOES SING LIVE!
And she got to dance with Michael One last time. Most people didnt even peep that it was SCREAM she was dancing to and that they took her out of the screen version so that she could do it live with him right behind her… brought me to tears. Thats her brother- LONG LIVE THE KING

It was a hit! I loved it and the performance brought tears to my eyes.

HIT!

HHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTT!!!!!

It was short enough to make me want more and to keep her from getting emotional on stage. She was intense but looked vulnerable.

She slayed!!!!

It’s amazing how folks sit behind their computers and talk about how Janet should have came harder…how many folks talking could do half of what Janet did. She did a great job…she did a remarkable tribute…it wouldn’t have been a Janet tribute if it had Usher, Chris Brown, Ciara and the likes…this was Janet doing something for her big brother…Think people, it is not always necessary to be critical…especially when you can’t do any better yourself.

it was nice, but I expected more

As far as MTV is concerned they punk asses should have altered their show to show the importance of MJ to their network ! He practicaly built MTV!!! As matter of fact, MTV should write MJ’s Estate a check for half the damn network they owe so much to him!!! For them to give him 10-15 minutes of their show is BS !!! This is MJ and if anyone owes him a tribute it is MTV with their tired self!!!The news here is that MTV did not do enough to honor the King of Music!!!

She’s not as pretty as she use to be. She needs to tone up because she definitely knows how.

I wish they’d gone and let Chris Brown do a tribute. His talent would overshadow that other stuff, and make people forget. But he f-kked with the “illuminati.”

Hit, period!!!!!!!!! Her performance, especially on the Scream sequence, brought me to tears. And I do agree with Silken Dove that they should have let Chris Brown do a MJ tribute. RIP Michael, we love and miss you!!!!!!!!!!!!

AND FOR WHOMEVER HAS AN ISSUE WITH JANET’S WEIGHT..GET OVER IT!! WHERE HAVE YOU IDIOTS BEEN FOR THE PAST 25 YEARS? DEAD? HER WEIGHT IS ALWAYS UP & DOWN .. SHE ISN’T NATURALLY SKINNY – SHE’S BEEN PLUMP SINCE CHILDHOOD .. SHE DOESN’T NEED TO WORK OUT – SHE’S MOURNING AND GOING THRU A TOUGH TIME .. ALL SHE NEEDS IS HER FANS*

.. AND YOU’RE CALLING JANET MISS PIGGY BUT YOUR NAME IS “CHOCOLATE CHIP”? LMAO .. GET REAL*

A HIT ALWAYS JANET!!!

it was a hit. too short though. any other dancers out there peep all the old school choreographers on stage with janet? even chriss judd was up there (j los ex). that was a nice touch.
