Legend = Janet Jackson

Legend = Good Times, A New Kind of Family, Diff'rent Strokes, Fame, Poetic Justice, Nutty Professor II, Why Did I Get Married 1 & 2, For Colored Girls, 307 awards, including 6 Grammy awards, 15 AMA awards, 9 MTV awards, and 36 Billboard awards, 6 tours from 1990-2011 including the award winning Velvet Rope Tour (which I saw!), timeless number one hits including Control, Rhythm Nation, Pleasure Principle, Again, If, That's the Way Love Goes, Runaway, I Get Lonely, What's It Gonna Be, and the list goes on.

Last night, I saw a legend perform.

No, it wasn't the full theatrical show that I saw with my mom and aunt when I was in the 8th grade. No, I did not bring my Janet Jackson Fan Club Membership Card from 3rd grade. No, I didn't wear my Janet Jackson Halloween costume from 2nd grade.  But, YES, it was a great show. To perform, dance to, and sing two dozen number one songs at the age of 45 is beyond commendable. As the show was ending I thought, "I may never see this woman, this legend, perform live, no more than 30 feet away from me again. To get to see her in concert not once, but twice in my life. Wow!" What was even more "wow" was that when she shouted "I love you Abu Dhabi!!!!" she was talking to me!

I apologize in advance for the poor sound quality. It's clearly time for a new camera.
