DVD Extras: Live in Hawaii presents colourful & glossy footage restricted to standard 4:3 format. The sound track, though, is offered in three different formats.

On top of the attractive menus, there’s a ten-minute interview with Janet, a three-minute photo gallery of shots from her concert programme, & a bizarre compilation of Miss Jackson performing Would You Mind at different concert venues.--

As Live in Hawaii highlights, Janet Jackson loves taking her clothes off in front of the cameras. On top of the eight costume changes, the cameras have access all areas privileges & follow Janet as she dashes off stage to change. These shots aren’t particularly insightful, but will nevertheless appeal to her male fans. With a massive stage, amazing special effects, & a huge crew of supporting artistes the show is a typical grand Jackson concert affair. Following another American mega pop star tradition, where concerts are themed fairy tale-style around dreams or fantasies, the All For You show is supposedly located in an alternative universe. However, it’s not a particularly radical cosmos, with one act set in a candy store , featuring Jackson dressed as a pixie.

Perhaps being in another universe explains why Janet appears particularly distant from her audience, with very little interaction going on between her & the crowd. The age-old question is she or isn’t she singing live also seems particularly relevant for this show. You decide. With tracks included from all her solo albums, this concert provides a pleasurable voyage through her greatest hits
