@janetjackson should have been the headline act at the Singapore Grand Prix @f1nightrace Main Stage at the Padang, not the bloody Wharf Stage.

She may not be a pop princess of today but legends deserve their flowers.

A 50-year career in entertainment.
11 studio albums.
A discography of over 300 tracks.
10 Number 1 singles.
+ a few movie roles for good measure.

You want to argue relevance? 

Kindly refer to the 1.3 million views (update: woke up to 1.7m overnight) on my last reel garnered in less than 24 hours + tens of thousands of shares, reposts, comments and likes.

She’s literally the only performer in the world who could lure me away from the air-conditioned comfort of the Paddock Club, and mad respect for the electric energy she brought at SIXTY.

In a denim get-up in 30-degree Celsius and 75% humidity + eye-watering haze, no less.

Mad, mad respect for this consummate professional.

The best part of last night was finally getting to watch Janet in concert together with @aarikalee for the first time.

When she last performed in Singapore back in 2011, we weren’t seated together but we waited for Janet after the concert, strategically-positioned ourselves to trail her car and pulled up alongside her blacked-out SUV at a red light stop.

Aarik being the hysterical nut she is, kept frantically waving at Janet’s car until she lowered the window enough for us to see her fingers waving at us 😭😭😭 
I think the video should still be somewhere on Facebook.

Last night also brought back the best bits of our childhood of school holidays at Nan’s in Bayshore where we’d put up Michael and Janet “concerts” in the living room.

Aarika was obviously the singer and I was the event organiser/concert promoter. The best memories ever and it meant so much to share this moment together ❤️‍🔥

We miss you much, Nan.
and we can see your star shining down on us 💫🥹
all our love, until we’re together again 🫶

Two Saturdays of hawking our goodies 🥲

Thank you to everyone who came by, said hi, bought a print, sticker, or something we made.

Special mention to Miles, who made his sticker-selling debut and may now believe this is a viable career path. We could see how proud he was of his stickers, and were so so touched by how much warmth and love everyone showed him 🥲❤️

Very tired, hearts very full. Would do again. Just maybe not next Saturday.

Thank u @heartware.store and @superfuncollective for having us! ❤️ @kjcba_sg for opening up our neighborhood to so many  people
