Janet Jackson’s ill-fated Rock Witchu tour has come to a sudden end as Jackson has opted to cancel instead of reschedule all those concerts that were postponed due to her bout with vertigo. “Conflicts in the singer’s schedule” has been cited as the cause of the cancellations, but poor ticket sales are the more likely culprit. In all, seven shows have been cancelled, including stops in Montreal, Boston and Philadelphia. From the onset, the Rock Witchu tour was plagued with problems. First, the planned European leg of the tour was axed, then Janet began getting vertigo-induced migraines that forced the cancellation of a handful of shows and finally opening act LL Cool J abandoned the bill after all the false starts. The end of the Rock Witchu drama does mean Janet is available to open for that Jackson 5 reunion that isn’t happening.

She’s a talent that doesn’t seem to want to show her talent! It’s a total scam to fans and now, many more ex-fans alike. Fork over $150 per ticket, have it held by the ticket people for months to make some investments/interest/loans and then cancel the show. The ticket people get to hold onto their service charges, Janet doesn’t have to exert herself because she is ’sick’ and everyone, including the record companies and media complain that record sales are plummeting. And the music business is hurting. Wonder why.

She looks more pissed off than Diana Ross. You can’t be a mega selling stadium touring act forever, so scale down your venue choices for better results.

Now that her tour is cancelled, Janet can finally go back to eating like a total pig, and gain some serious weight…. Oops, too late.
