Janet Jackson is back and on the mend from her recent hospitalization and "vertigo" treatment that left her with migraine headaches and dizziness.
Last night in Washington D.C. Janet Jackson took the stage to exploding fireworks, clouds of smoke and the sounds of some early hits Wednesday in her first concert in two weeks.
Sporting a huge mohawk and light-colored body suit, the Grammy-winning performer opened with "Pleasure Principle," followed by "What Have You Done for Me Lately" from her 1986 album "Control." Soon after, she sang her latest single, "Feedback."
"It feels so good to be back after being down just a little bit," Jackson told the crowd at the less-than-full Verizon Center.
The two-hour, high-energy show went smoothly, but Jackson did appear winded at times. At one point, she paused to admire her backup dancers, and the audience roared with approval.
At the end of the show, a teary-eyed Jackson told the crowd: "I love you D.C. so much."
