| - For my birthday this year as a gift from my mother, I received tickets to Janet Jackson's Unbreakable World Tour in Charlotte. What are the odds that my birthday falls on a month when my favorite entertainer's concert tickets are on sale?!?!?!? King Jesus was looking out for me this year!!!! The concert was on Friday, September 18, 2015 at 8pm.
My mom and I drove to Charlotte from Augusta and spent the weekend here for the concert. Fast forward to the actual time for the show, we left the hotel 1 hour early to make it on time to see the concert. We should have left 2 or 3 hours earlier. The drive to the arena was fine until we got 2 or 3 miles away from the place. Traffic was backed up for that stretch of road. It took us about till 9:30pm to get to the actual gate of the arena. We missed some of the show.
I was so surprised that I was so calm because if it was any other time I would have been cussing everybody out who looked at me wrong!!!! I guess that prayer I prayed in the car really worked!!!! We had to park in one of the huge parking lots that was a ways from the arena, walking through rocks, trees, hills, and bushes but we made it!!!!
Entering into the arena it was swarming with people coming to see a great show!!!! We couldn't make it to our seats because the lawn area was so packed that we stayed in that area. That was fine with me, we still enjoyed ourselves!!!! I stood, danced, sang, and recorded the whole time while my mother chilled on the sidelines. For Janet to be gone as long as she had been from the entertainment world, she surely didn't miss a beat, and to be 1 year from 50 that's pretty f'n amazing. Her body looked right, her voice was perfect, her dance moves were in sync, and her hair was INSANE!!!! I wanted to wear my unit like that but I knew that I would be a sweaty mess with all that hair!!!!
The weather was amazing for the concert, nice and cool. The only reason I don't give this place 5 stars is because of the parking situation and how the attendants were rushing people out of the venue after the concert. We couldn't go nowhere anyway so why rush us out?!?!?! The concert was over at 10pm but we didn't leave the actual parking lot till about 12:15am. It was insane!!! It was also very hard to remember where we had parked because the parking lot was just an empty, unpaved lot. We did find the car for about 15 minutes of searching. A lot of people had this same issue after the concert!!!!
Some people made the best out of the situation by opening their car doors and playing music and dancing in the parking lot. In my younger I would have partaken in that as well but I'm much more cool nowadays. The concert was great and Janet hasn't lost her touch. This was my 4th time seeing her and it was worth everything to me. While she was performing her song 'Throb' I almost broke down crying. The moment was so surreal. I remember seeing her do the same song live when I 1st saw her live and it just made me appreciate her special gift for entertaining!!!!
I'm scouting out tickets for her show in Columbia next year!! I have to be in the building again, the way she made me feel is such an addictive feeling and I want to feel that way as much as possible!!! Bravo Janet!!!! You get all 10's across the board!!!!!! This was the best birthday present EVER!!! It's pretty hard to top this one!!!
