Tisha goes back to center stage and the toaster takes her to the ground again. Jackson’s dancers exit backstage and the stage shuts to black. About forty five seconds, Jackson’s band begins to play the introduction of the instrumental to
“Criminal”. White lights begin to flash on stage and Tisha. Tisha is sitting on a square. Jackson begins the intro to Criminal
sounds like:
[Verse 1]Blood falls from our fragile scars, criminal hearts behind bars
We damaged each other beyond the point of no return
Watched us burn into ashes in the urn
You got me faded from the smoke we created
And I'm driftin' to a distant place, constantly chasin' your face
Just stay here for a little longer, baby
I'm holding on tighter and my heart's beating stronger (Repeat x3)
My love is like a hourglass whose time has run out
I'm holding on tighter and my heart's beating stronger (Repeat x3)
[Hook]How about we drop our weapons for a change?
Stop taking aim and surrender to our fate
We'll take the blame and share the shame
You're no longer mine and it's all on the line
How about we drop our weapons for a change?
Stop taking aim and surrender to our fate
We'll take the blame and share the shame
You're no longer mine and it's all on the line
Ms. Berry let’s get it, what’s up?
[Verse 2]We still ache, we haven't healed
From the bombs on the battlefield
We became the unthinkable, and baby it's visible
We're both criminal
We’re both criminal
Arrows out and we aim for each other's heart
Handcuffs on we're guilty as charged
Now all that's left is floating in the atmosphere
We at a standstill until we watched us disappear
Our old love's invisible, but it's clear to see that you and me
We're both the criminal
[Chorus]This love is so damn criminal
This love is so damn criminal
Let’s end the crime; we can’t afford to do the time
My worst enemy can be me at times
And I don’t want to hurt you
Let’s end the crime; we can’t afford to do the time
This love is so damn criminal
This love is so damn criminal
We are too criminal to have anyone else to belong to
[Hook]
How about we drop our weapons for a change?
Stop taking aim and surrender to our fate
We'll take the blame and share the shame
You're no longer mine and it's all on the line
How about we drop our weapons for a change?
Stop taking aim and surrender to our fate
We'll take the blame and share the shame
You're no longer mine and it's all on the line
Ms. Berry let’s get it, what’s up?
[Verse 3]Tears fall from our broken eyes
No longer blinded by our lies
Covered up the insecurities until there was nothing left of you and me
Watched us break until there was no more I could take
You had me so high felt like I was never comin' down
But I crashed harder than I ever imagined
Lost it all before I even realized
Keep pushin' me away now baby
I'll take you down with me
Stop taking aim and surrender to our fate
We'll take the blame and share the shame
You're no longer mine and it's all on the line
[Chorus]This love is so damn criminal
This love is so damn criminal
Let’s end the crime; we can’t afford to do the time
My worst enemy can be me at times
And I don’t want to hurt you
Let’s end the crime; we can’t afford to do the time
This love is so damn criminal
This love is so damn criminal
We are too criminal to have anyone else to belong to
[Hook]How about we drop our weapons for a change?
Stop taking aim and surrender to our fate
We'll take the blame and share the shame
You're no longer mine and it's all on the line
How about we drop our weapons for a change?
Stop taking aim and surrender to our fate
We'll take the blame and share the shame
You're no longer mine and it's all on the line
Ms. Berry let’s get it, what’s up?
[Outro]Criminal, criminal, criminal, it's criminal
Criminal, criminal, criminal, it's criminal
Criminal, criminal, criminal, it's criminal
You said baby, don't get too comfortable
Don't rest your head cause the road ahead's unpredictable
Criminal, criminal, criminal, it's criminal
Criminal, criminal, criminal, it's criminal
Criminal, criminal, criminal, it's criminal
You said baby, don't get too comfortable
Don't rest your head cause the road ahead's unpredictable
The stage shuts dark again and Tisha exits for another costume change. Bibi is now center stage next to the toaster awaiting Tisha. She then begins to strum her guitar violently, and begins to play the opening guitar rift for Jackson’s “Your Queen”. The band then begins to play horns and percussions. Tisha arrives center stage via toaster.
sounds like:
[Verse 1]
When you smile, I feel like a little child
I don’t care if the world ends, as long as I’ve got you and God on my side
You’re like nourishment to me
My body and soul are adorned
Lord knows I couldn’t love you, if I had none for me
I feel fearless and wild, I am living my dreams
Love is the language you speak
It makes me high and stimulates me
They’ll try and break us down
Baby, the key word is try
But it never can affect you or me
[Chorus]I feel like your Queen
You and I against the world
Shine brighter than any star
Shine bright on my heart
My king of hearts
Our thrones are never separate or a part
Tear us a part, No, Baby, I would rather be dead
[Verse 2]Treat me like a Queen
You know my worth
I’m sweet on you
I am digging on you
Gasping for air, looking into your eyes
Washed ashore, you take me away
Wrapped in your arms, I feel invincible
I’ll call anyone’s bluff
[Chorus]I feel like your Queen
You and I against the world
Shine brighter than any star
Shine bright on my heart
My king of hearts
Our thrones are never separate or a part
Tear us a part, No, Baby, I would rather be dead
[Bridge]When we leave each other
There’s no man I want more
I feel your breath on me
I feel the caress of your hands move all on me
I feel like a woman
More and more each day
[Instrumental Interlude]The band hits the instrumental interlude. Bibi plays the guitar, drums are being pounded, horns are being blows, and trumpets are infused for a collision of music. The band sounds like a beautiful harmony. Two of Tisha’s dancers come by her side. An extremely long hook figure flies down from the top of the stadium to Tisha. The two women harness Jackson in. Sparks then fly as fireworks pop into the air and Jackson is lifted into the air. She waves to her fans.
The fans scream because Jackson is beyond midair of the stadium, she is so far up that the fans in the nose bleeds can get a perfect shot of her. The band continues with the instrumental interlude as Tisha soars to the second stage at the stadium. The second stage is a fan pit that is shaped as a circle. These fans get to see Tisha perform literally steps away from themselves. Tisha lands on the fan pit and continues with
“Your Queen”.[Chorus]I feel like your Queen
You and I against the world
Shine brighter than any star
Shine bright on my heart
My king of hearts
Our thrones are never separate or a part
Tear us a part, No, Baby, I would rather be dead
[Outro]I feel like your Queen
Sparks soar into the air as fireworks leave the fan pit into the air. The band then begins to play a fan favorite off Jackson’s seventh studio album, “The Highway to Redemption”,
“Teenagers Forever”. Tisha smiles at her fans.
“
I love this portion of the show because I am so up close and personal with you all. I don’t consider you fans I consider you my friends.”The audience is screaming for Tisha in anticipation of her singing, “Teenagers Forever”.
“Let’s do it”, Tisha yells as the band plays the introduction for “Teenagers Forever”, Tisha sings.
sounds like:
[Verse 1]Old school Mary J
Blasting on our radios
Saturday afternoon, live from the park
Us and our crews there
With my girls looking cute
You with your boys, b balling on the court
Hot summer day, sprinklers were on
On the bench chilling with the homies
When Jasmine came running to tell me
That you had a thang for me
The coolest dude I’d ever seen
Mind and body developing
I’ve heard brothers spit some corny lines or two
Those dudes weren’t as genuine as you
Our eyes meet, then lock
We hitting it off
[Chorus]I’m feeling you
You feeling me
Baby bay- ooooo -Baby baby
Teenagers Forever
That’s how you make me feel
I don’t want this part of my life to ever end
To ever end
I’m feeling you
You feeling me
Baby bay- ooooo -Baby baby
Teenagers Forever
That’s how you make me feel
I don’t want this part of my life to ever end
To ever end
[Verse 2]Putting on my poker face
Did not want you to see me giving in
Into your charm
Wasn’t playing hard
I was playing smart
Not your average chick from the block
On the bench chilling with the homies
When Jasmine came running to tell me
But I was apprehensive to pay you the time of day
Didn’t want to feed your ego
But I was not going to shy from a good relation-ship
You’re not the average dude
I didn’t hear a fool line or two
You approached me with the kindness and respect of a man
You made me feel like such a lady
Our eyes meet, then lock
We hitting it off
[Chorus]I’m feeling you
You feeling me
Baby bay- ooooo -Baby baby
Teenagers Forever
That’s how you make me feel
I don’t want this part of my life to ever end
To ever end
I’m feeling you
You feeling me
Baby bay- ooooo -Baby baby
Teenagers Forever
That’s how you make me feel
I don’t want this part of my life to ever end
To ever end
[Verse 3/Bridge]Boy you didn’t even have to say a word
Your looks were a K.O. to my heart
Total blowout
Make love to me with your eyes
You know that trickery you guys do
Boy I’m feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling youuuuuuuuu
[Instrumental Interlude]As the band hits their solo’s, Tisha leaves the stage and circles around the audience touching the hands of fans, giving them hi-fives, and hugging some. The people she interacts with cry as her two bodyguards are by her side making sure nothing crazy happens. Tisha walks back to the stage and touches more fans before she hits the chorus. Jackson continues.
[Chorus]
I’m feeling you
You feeling me
Baby bay- ooooo -Baby baby
Teenagers Forever
That’s how you make me feel
I don’t want this part of my life to ever end
To ever end
I’m feeling you
You feeling me
Baby bay- ooooo -Baby baby
Teenagers Forever
That’s how you make me feel
I don’t want this part of my life to ever end
To ever end
Jackson begins to sing acapella,
sounds like:
[Verse 1]
Hearts racing out of control
The days pass by; I get hungrier for your love
I proclaimed you as my King of hearts
You called me your Queen
Cause you said my love was a charm
[Her fans scream/sing along realizing, the lyrics to “Love me I’m Yours]
[photo]
[sound alike]
I feel uproar inside of me; I wasn’t supposed to fall in love
My mind makes me feel resistant
But my heart keeps telling me go by your side, girl go
[Chorus]Have you ever met someone who lifts you off from gravity?
Make you feel out of this world
A kindred soul
One in a million
It’s rare love like theirs is given
The purest form of ecstasy
I’m trusting you with my heart
So love me I’m yours
[Verse 2]
The love is darting through my veins
I'm feeling for this girl
She's made my soul, my heart palpates
I've went through life just wondering
When she would could along
So I could whip her off her feet
She's my Queen, I've waited so long so long
I hold her close to my body;
As we watch the sun shine from high above
Realizing that the smallest things feel better
When you've found the one you love
There's just so many things about you
Maybe it's something in the way you move
Maybe it's the way you make me feel;
Like a strong man ready to rule
We're ready to start this monarchy
One that involves you never being apart from me
At first you weren't really sure how you felt about it
But now you've finally realized we can be one high above it
You've saved me from my pain and suffering;
I've mended your broken heart
It's crazy how we did the same for each other
I'm your king of hearts, king of heaaaarts
[Chorus]Have you ever met someone who lifts you off from gravity?
Make you feel out of this world
A kindred soul
One in a million
It’s rare love like theirs is given
The purest form of ecstasy
I’m trusting you with my heart
So love me I’m yours
[Verse 3]You’re like my fix, I’m hooked on
You’ve filled a void, I thank God
My angel in disguise
The greatest love
I had to learn to love myself
Before I could give my all to you
Because two incomplete’s can’t make neither one sufficed
Now today, I can say I love you whole heartily
[Chorus]
Have you ever met someone who lifts you off from gravity?
Make you feel out of this world
A kindred soul
One in a million
It’s rare love like theirs is given
The purest form of ecstaaaaaasy
I’m trusting you with my heart
So love me I’m yours
[Outro]Love me, I’m yours
Jackson then walks to the piano on the second stage, her pianist begins playing the keys to
“Forever & Always” another fan favorite of Jackson’s from her seventh studio album, “The Highway to Redemption”. The fans go nuts, this is the first time she’s ever sung “Forever & Always” live. Jackson climbs on top of the piano, as her pianist continues her introduction solo, her violinists then hit their solo. The violinists and the pianist intertwine their notes together, and the percussion's kick in and Jackson sings,“Forever & Always”
sounds like:
[Verse 1]Late at night, I think…
About how our love and life together seemed so real
I swear it was so damn real, it seemed a bit surreal
How your essence would protect me
In your presence I felt safe in serenity, nothing could ever harm me
When our eyes first locked…
I could’ve never imagine, I would ever consider you my one and only
Inside and out, I would shine, whenever you flashed that smile
Out of nowhere our love became the most talked about
Whenever people saw you they see
When they spoke of me they spoke of you
The only person in this world who understood me
You were my brother, my man, my best friend
It sucks for you to not be with me in present day
I thought by now we’d be married
I one hundred percent understand, what they meant, when they said
You never know what you have til’ it’s gone
I played you dirty, and now you’re gone
But the one thing that will never change, Is the love I have for you
[Chorus]Forever, I will always love you
Always, will be there for you
Even after all the mountains we have moved
You were the first person I gave my heart to
And I have yet to have it returned yet
Oh baby, you are the only one
Other men have tried to claim your place
But there’s still that open space
When I got the courage to say those three words, I love you
Forever & Always, baby, I knew you’d be the only one
[2nd Verse]The best man you were to me, outstanding
The love was riveting
By my side, you were always there
My wish was your command
I named when, the place and time
Next to me, you were there
I never imagined us coming to an end
And even if I did, I didn’t think it would come so abrupt
I could’ve done things another way, the right way
For that, I’m sorry, for making things fucked up
If it were possible, I’d take back every wrong thing, that I did to make you leave
But we’re talking the impossible here
But I pray that you forgive me
I one hundred percent understand
What they meant
When they said
You never know what you have til’ it’s gone
I played you dirty, and now you’re gone
But the one thing that will never change
Is the love I have for you
[Chorus]Forever, I will always love you
Always, will be there for you
Even after all the mountains we have moved
You were the first person I gave my heart to
And I have yet to have it returned yet
Oh baby, you are the only one
Other men have tried to claim your place
But there’s still that open space
When I got the courage to say those three words, I love you
Forever & Always, baby, I knew you’d be the only one
[3rd Verse/Bridge]All of the intimacy we shared as one
Do you still hold onto the memories too?
In my mind, I wonder, do you ever think of me?
Because I still think of you
I don’t wanna rewind the hands of time
But if we ever got the chance to move forward
Would you be down for the rideeeeee??
[Chorus 2x]Forever, I will always love you
Always, will be there for you
Even after all the mountains we have moved
You were the first person I gave my heart to
And I have yet to have it returned yet
Oh baby, you are the only one
Other men have tried to claim your place
But there’s still that open space
When I got the courage to say those three words, I love you
Forever & Always, baby, I knew you’d be the only one
Jackson then puts her arms up surrendering to the crowd after singing such an emotionally packed song she smiles at the crowd a bit teary eyes. A white light shines on her quickly before the stage “fan pit” shuts to black. Jackson then exits the stage. The audience waits in anticipation as they wonder which part of the stadium she will appear from next.
