I think there are ways of updating the performances while maintaining the look. I don't know for me RN and ALRIGHT are the only Janet songs that have a signature look that I check for every time. I'm a bit loath to draw the analogy, it would be almost like Michael Jackson performing Billie Jean without the silver glove, penny loafers with white socks and the signature routine. Don't get me wrong. I don't want to see JANET/TVR/AFY part whatever-the-fuck, but not every thing needs to be re-worked musically and/or visually. I am over the whimsical ESCAPADE medley though. Maybe she and another dancer could reinterpret that one with a lyrical dance wherein they recreate the life cycle of the butterfly (with no respect to Mariah - she didn't invent butterflies). It would be grand.

It would be interesting if her show had a "theme" or narrative to it - like a musical without much dialogue.
