Janet Jackson making a comeback
BY MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
ST. LOUIS - It looks as if Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction-induced exile from music's top tier is finally lifting.
It's about time.
She had a successful run that exploded with her album "Control" in 1986, and "All for You" (2001) — featuring the title track, "Son of a Gun" and "Someone to Call My Lover" — carried her into the 2000s.
But midway through the decade, things went into a tail-spin for Michael Jackson's youngest sister.
Unless you've been in Rip Van Winkle mode, you remember her Super Bowl halftime show in 2004 — perhaps the most talked-about halftime show ever.
Jackson performed danceheavy renditions of her hits "All for You" and "Rhythm Nation before Justin Timberlake joined her for his song "Rock Your
Suddenly, "Nipplegate" and "wardrobe malfunction" were introduced into our collective vocabularies.
The FCC threw a record $550,000 fine at CBS, which aired the game. An apologetic Jackson, who absorbed the blame while Timberlake walked away clean, was the subject of punchlines for years.
Body." When the song culminated with, "I bet I'll have you naked by the end of this song," Timberlake ripped a piece of fabric away from Jackson's costume, and a barely covered breast rolled out.
And seemingly simultaneously, the big hits stopped coming.
"Damita Jo," released a few months after the Super Bowl, managed to sell a million copies, but it was her lowest-selling album in years, despite contributions on the album from Kanye West.
Then there were the disappointing sales of follow-up albums "20 Y.O." (2006) and "Discipline" (2008), which failed to produce the hit singles that previously had streamed from her albums.
RUDY'S PIZZERIA
"VOTED BEST PIZZA IN LAWRENCE"
A surprise appearance on "American Idol" last year, where she performed her new ballad "Nothing," proved there's still a lot of love out there for her.
And her latest album, a double-disc greatest-hits compilation,
"Number Ones," released five months after brother Michael's death, paved the way for her new "Up Close and Personal" tour, which skips the arenas and flashy shows in favor of smaller venues.
WEDNESDAY SPECIAL
The Boston Globe said Jackson left fans hungry for more and that it was an evening to remember.
And reviews have been generally positive.
Meanwhile, Jackson made a smart move by returning to one of her earliest loves, acting. She headlined movies "Why Did I Get Married?" (2007), "Why Did I Get Married Too?" (2010) and "For Colored Girls" (2010).

publishing. Her new book, "True You: A Journey to Finding and Loving Yourself", is a New York Times best-seller.
She has also ventured into
The Chicago Tribune wrote: "There's no better way for a performer to remind the world that she's still kicking than a tightly choreographed greatest-hits show, and that's exactly what Jackson delivered. ... In the more scaled-down setting, Jackson brought a warmth and a passion that wasn't always evident in stadiums."

The New York Times said her show is "just about the realest, most clear-minded retrospective she could do."
It looks as if she's on her way back - in more ways than one.
