Does Janet Jackson sponsor this column? Or has it been written without watching her set? Coz the performance I saw was dated, boring, mimed/whispered and dire

Please tell me Anna Leszkie is being sarcastic... Jackson was so obviously miming. She was dreadful.

Seamless = mimed

It was crp

I switched over. It was pants

Not sure you watched the same set as I did....😉

It was dire!

Go home , you are obviously pissed.

What drugs were you on? Just askin. For a mate.

LasKeepsItReal Easy to do something seamlessly when you’re not actually doing it. Lazy journalism.

I thought that she was miming through the whole set!! 😤

Without singing a word, amazing!

Did you watch it?

This was the worst performance I have ever seen... Just look at the tweets.... She mimed and shouted the occasionally HEE.. Creep jacksons all over again.

'Cultural powerhouse' Yes, The Independent is in a parallel universe

She was absolute shite !!

Miming....

I was working the evening shift so I didn't get to hear, but earlier responses suggest something sharply at odds with this publication's reviews,

Did you write this before she got on stage?

Time to retire Miss. Jackson nasty

Haha! What the actual fuck? Whoever wrote this definitely did NOT watch her performance.

Written last week I assume. Bunch of clowns

She was shit glastonbury19 JanetJackson terrible

“seamless glide...” !!

Were we watching the same performance?

I think this was written before Janet took to the stage.

We watched something very very different. Very different.

It was completely abysmal!

Someones management has paid for a review or two then...watched 5mins of whispered miming and turned it over, dreadful

Wtf did you watch. 😂😂😂

‘Makes a shameful wail through.. ‘ there fixed it 🤦🏻‍♀️

It was poor.

Me thinks their may have been a cash payment to the paper 😉

Why were her vocals so low volume? Miming? Strangely underpowered set

Cultural powerhouse? Wtf?

Did you even watch the show?utter rubbish.

Seamless glide? Was I watching something completely different?! 😄

Utter tripe

Really?

She was atrocious!! No presence, mimed.. awful

Was she miming?
