Janet Jackson’s number one hit “Doesn’t Really Matter,” from her “All for You” album and soundtrack of “Nutty Professor II,” has been chosen as the song dedicated to the city of Santa Barbara. Janet’s Number Ones: Up Close & Personal tour, is her largest ever world tour, celebrating 35 of her number ones hits. Janet will be dedicating a number one song to each of her fan suggested stops, including her shows at the Santa Barbara Bowl on April 9 and 10 at 7:00 pm.
“The fans in Santa Barbara have shown me that all of your love is unconditional. That is why I have chosen ‘Doesn’t Really Matter’ as the number one song that I will dedicate to the incredible city of Santa Barbara. I am looking forward to seeing you all soon,” said Janet.
In addition to dedicating a hit single to each city, Janet is recognizing 20 people under 20 in every city on her tour, selecting those whose lives and work have enriched their communities in a major way. “I want to meet 20 leaders who are changing their community for the better. Please contact www.JanetJackson.com so that I will know who is making a major difference in your community. I want to talk with up to 20 people under 20 in each city. I want them to be my guest at my show and they will come back stage as I learn from them how they are changing the world. If you know someone who is making a difference, please get in touch. You, and the person chosen, will get free tickets to the show, and be with me after, to celebrate accomplishments,” said Janet.
Janet has also selected the first fan winner of the contest in voting for the cities. The winner in each city will be announced on www.JanetJackson.com and will receive an autographed copy of NUMBER ONES and her book “True You” (both in stores now). The contest saw fans make suggestions of what cities and countries Janet should perform her Number Ones: Up Close & Personal tour.
