Janet Jackson is being absolutely slated for her Glastonbury performance

Rudi Kinsella

Janet Jackson hasn’t the best of luck with live performances, has she?

This year’s Glastonbury festival has been an eventful one, to say the least.

Friday night saw headliner Stormzy steal the show with a breathtaking performance, that will be talked about through the ages.

More recently, everyone’s favourite Scot Lewis Capaldi escalated his beef with Noel Gallagher to a new level, mimicking his fashion sense.

But unfortunately, Janet Jackson’s performance did not reach the heights of those who had went before her at the iconic festival.

In her set on Saturday night, Jackson was accused of miming her way through the act, with reviews of the performance being far from flattering.

Those in attendance felt as though the backing track was far too loud, and that the vocals that actually could be heard, were incredibly quiet.

A number of people took to Twitter to voice their opinion about the performance, and as you might expect, they weren’t too pleased.

A bad day at the office for the pop star, by all accounts.
