Furious Janet Jackson fans reportedly stormed out of her concert in Perth over the weekend, accusing her of ‘lip-syncing’ her way through the show.

The Rhythm Nation singer headlined the RNB Fridays Live concert in Brisbane on Friday, which also saw the likes of Jason Derulo and Black Eyed Peas perform.

But it was Janet’s set which garnered the most criticism with video footage showing groups of concert-goers leaving while she was on-stage.

According to the Courier Mail, fans described the performance as a ‘disaster’ with Janet allegedly miming along to her iconic hits.

One concert-goer told the publication: ‘When Janet Jackson came on it was just a disaster.

‘Her sound was just terrible. She would be singing and then all of a sudden just do random stuff.’

Another disappointed concert-goer added: ‘I’ve never seen so many people walk out of a concert before.’

A woman who attended the RNB Friday concert tweeted her experience of the show, revealing: ‘My night at the concert consisted of a proposal during jason derulo, a girl flashing her tits to the camera in 50 cent, a cat fight breaking out and a weave flying in the air during black eyed peas and janet jackson lip syncing.’

Another criticised: ‘Sorry Janet I have been a lifelong fan but backing tracks and a lip synced show was pretty poor. If you can’t dance and sing live anymore maybe cut back the dancing and sing LIVE that’s what people are paying for a LIVE show.’

And another music fan weighed in: ‘Very sad that ‘lip syncing’ is taken for granted at a ‘live ‘show. WTF happened to our musical world. The motto for all live performers should be “Tell the truth out there on stage”.’

One fan wondered: ‘Why do they bother, she’s known for lip syncing and these concert goers paid the price.’

However, not everyone was disappointed with Janet’s performance as another said: ‘It’s like I died and went to Jackson heaven with this song… she blew the roof off! I’m gonna be sore for days from dancing.’

Defending the popstar, one added: ‘I LOVE Janet, like LOOOVVVE But, y’all thought she was actually SINGING at shows all these years?? Have you heard a song? Like, REALLY listened to her music?? Because…I mean… [sic].’

Earlier this year, Janet was also criticised for her performance at Glastonbury festival over her vocals which some complained they struggled to hear.
