If you are a Janet Jackson fan, there is nothing that I can tell you about the "Velvet Rope"! However, if you been thinking about purchasing the Vevet Rope Tour DVD, this maybe of interest to you.
This is an Image Entertainment disc. Image has done great work with other music-video disc but, not this one.
While they should be commended for making it a 5.1 release, the audience is in the front left and right speakers as well as most of the music. Now, that is where the music should be, but not the yelling sceaming fans. Because of this, it is hard at times to here what's being played on stage.
It also seems that the sound people at the actual event had problems keeping things together as, several times through the event, Janet motions to them to adjust her mic output.
The video is also sub-standard. While there are tons of colors thru out the concert, they are almost never brilliant with the exception of chapter 7. Most of this dvd presents a washed out look.
To sum it up. Janet has a loyal following because, well, she's damn good at what she does ( and pleasing to the eye!). Her talent for song as well as dance is very evident on this disc. For the Jackson fan, this disc is a must own. For others, it may only be worth a rental. I'm a fan so... but I was still disappointed.
"I came here, to chew bubble gum and kickass. And I'm all out of bubble gum!!!" My DVD's
