Janet Jackson's Vegas residency is pretty awesome even before it's begun...

Janet Jackson has announced a Vegas Residency titled 'Metamorphosis.' The 15-date trek commences May 17th through to August 10th. The show serves as a celebration of Janet’s landmark album 'Rhythm Nation' (full details.)

Not only is Janet a pop icon, she is a nostalgic pop act. People would be more than willing to see Janet share her colourful autobiography in an explosive Las Vegas stage show. Her newer stuff may not win any popularity awards, but her back catalogue is fantastic. What's not to get excited about?
