Watch: Janet Jackson kicked off her 'Unbreakable' Tour with a superhuman performance
Consider this a friendly reminder that Janet Jackson is one of the greatest performers of her generation.
Last night, Janet Jackson kicked off her first tour since 2011 in Vancouver, ahead of her first new album in seven years, Unbreakable.
She gave us life:
(We wish we could give you video of all her amazing moves, but unfortunately, the Internet gods keep pulling down the night's best videos.)
And served amazing vocals:

And previewed some new music too.
Spot Missy Elliott on screen behind her? Janet opened the show by previewing new music she collaborated on with Missy.
Can we have that right now, please?

What is happening?!
Here's the Janet we're more familiar with:
But really, who are we to judge—Janet is 49 and dancing circles around her R&B contemporaries half her age.
So, yeah, she doesn't need you or your opinions.
Bye now!
