I have never heard anything positive about Rene. He screwed so many people over for nothing more than his ego while nearly destroying Janet personally and professionally. He warned to get rid of any person who looked out for Janet’s best interest. Then to have the gall to sue her!? What a soulless shell of a human. I’m so sorry that happened to you and would have loved to see you on The Velvet Rope and beyond. Thank you for the video!
"You ain't want me anyway, you wanted to be me" (Renee Elizondo Jr.) Son of a Gun
LOL!
“I heard Rene’s version of what happened… tell me what happened.”
Wow… I am a huge fan of Janet, but my respect level for her just went through the roof. Great series!
I'm very sorry that happened to you. I have to say that I'm not a bit surprised about Rene. I love that you live in your truth and honesty. It's hard to find many people like you regardless of the profession. Some people just go along to get along for the sake of the job. I can just imagine the mess that goes on behind the scenes and dealing with other people. You are THE MAN!
I WAS PULLED ON STAGE THE VELVET ROPE TOUR IN 1998 by Janet ! Man I wish u was a backup singer !!
Whoa...the part about Lil John. Lil John is a legend and did great work with Janet. I believe he did Janet tour, Velvet Rope, All For You, Rockwitchu, and maybe Number Ones. He also came back for State of The World if Im not mistaken.
Amazing Talent and Great Guy! I Love him like a little Brother!
Ole Rene, figured Janet left his ass for a reason! However, this was an amazing lesson in staying grounded and keeping your integrity especially in the entertainment game.
Thanks for this content🙏🏾
Thank You! Blessings!
Since I am a Janet fan and the way RUclips algorithm is set up your video popped up as a recommendation and I said “I know that name”. I have watched all 3 parts (also subscribed) and enjoyed them all as a Janet fan. Now as a musician wife my emotions were all over the place because I have seen/heard/experience a lot in your industry. Will not get in details to jeopardize my husband career but it was good to hear another musician experience. And as you stated “God is the provider”. 🙂👏🏾
You have blessed me with this video series sir. Your candor, your integrity, and most importantly, your faith drew me in. Being young and in a professional school, there's a lot of sneakiness and mess that goes with the school and with networking and I'm not always sure how to navigate it because, like you, I am an honest person and I believe in being very clear. I have to consider opportunities but you have reminded me through this that God is my source. There is no situation that HE leads me to where my integrity or personality will become compromised when I keep him as my source and guide. You were blessed to be on the absolute BEST of Janet's tours and no manipulation or scheming could take that away from you. I look forward to more of your series and wisdom. God bless!
Praise God! Thank You for your Awesome comment! Yes God is your Source and Sole Provider! Honor Him always, No one can keep from you what He wants you to have!
I enjoyed each part of your story. I love hearing first hand stories from ppl who worked with Janet. It warms my heart that everyone says she was truly amazing, genuine, kind, caring person. I've been a super fan since her Control album. And have been blessed to see her twice on tour in great seats. Thank you for this. I hope one day we all get to see the Janet tour in it's entirety. The Janet album is my all time fave 😍
Whew! Man this was awesome!! It also tells the story of why there were only two women back up singers for the Velvet Rope Tour! Wow!!!
i'm still holding out hope this tour is commercially released i need it in my life!!!!!
That would be nice! 🤞🏽
Rene has always struck me as a real worm.. and time ultimately told us that he was toxic to Janet, as she gave him to boot.
Damn Romeo, I vividly remember that encounter with you and Rene. That was definitely the PG version of the story.
😂😂😂😂 Bro!!!! I couldn’t do that to these precious Peoples’s ears. But you know he deserved everything I gave him. …and he knew to shut up too! Right?
@@RomeoJohnsonTV Can we hear the full version lol. I would love to hear the lashing 😂
@@StephanieFrancis LOL!!! I get embarrassed even when I think about it. But I don't regret it one bit! It was where I was at that time, I'm older and much nicer expressing myself these days. Thank you Jesus! LOL!!!
@@RomeoJohnsonTV I hear that! Although I am not in the industry these words you speak are truth for any field. I have been in work situations where I was spoken to not so kindly and I look back and just realize how I did not stand up for myself, but now I am learning to do so and not feel bad about setting those boundaries. Thank you for sharing your wisdom! I look forward to your video on working with MJ!
@@StephanieFrancis That's right you always deserve respect! Thank You!
😂😂😂 when you said Mannn and took them deep sighs I hollered. Rene really thought he was somebody smh. I’m so glad she left him.
Yall recorded it for Laser Disc and it never came out because of licensing. And now your story makes sense. Not sure why people can't share this pie. It's enough for everyone. God made sure of it. These greedy people kill me
So happy to see someone in this industry keeping his integrity in tact
Thank You! Going in as a young one, my mind was set on making God proud. Definitely wasn’t peefect but Im proud of my integrity and God has favored me through it all!
Romeo! Omg! This was great and you have answered the questions i had about the tour being released in much greater details. This explains everything. I’m really sad that tour wasn’t released. But thanks for sharing. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
This is a lesson in standing your ground. Not everyone has the courage to keep to their boundaries in basic respect, too afraid they're gonna lose everything when we have proof of you showing that there's always something better beyond where you are currently. I'm learning! 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thank You and Amen! Listen "man' doesn't everything to give you nor to take away from you. My belief has always been to show love and respect to everyone but I demand mine as well. God is my Father and He has Everything! So what am I saying to Him if I bow to someone trying to belittle me, His child, for money or association?... Continued Blessings!
Loved this tour ya'll played Denver August, 5th 1994. I remember my mom got me tickets for my 13th birthday. After that I was old enough to start working. Lol.
28:48: FACTS.
Most of the times when you hear negative stories, its NEVER the actual artist.Its people around them.Bruh...truth if I ever heard it. Janet had no idea this guy was saying DON'T SING
love the commentary - when you mind your business and do your job God will always and I mean always have your back. Awesome
100% FACT!
MAN Romeo, you covered SO much! 😵😅 And JanFam definitely appreciates finally having insight about the janet. tour not being released. My standout memory of you, will always be watching & hearing you vibe on bg vocals during that 🔥SNL performance of Anytime Anyplace.🎶✨
Awww. Thank You So Much!!! That was fun, Thank you for acknowledging and remembering! Blessings!
René seems arrogant and was intimidated by any man that was close to Janet.
Good afternoon Pastor Romeo ( cuz you preached lol) well I’m a few days late viewing the finale of you touring with Janet. Man I really enjoyed this. I prayer for your continued peace of mind my brutha.
Hi Romeo, thank you so much for these videos. Not only are you sharing the experiences of my dreams, touring with Janet! But you also teaching me some valuable lessons about integrity and I appreciate it. Much love
Thank You! God bless you! That’s really my primary, to share, teach, prepare and protect. Hope you subscribed, love to have you as part of the fam.
I can’t stand Rene, he put our girl through so much shit. She has such a big heart and I hate how many people used to take advantage of that. The light in her eyes and the silliness we saw disappeared during the Velvet Rope era🙁 The fact that she was so depressed and he just got worse broke my heart for her. The things these men have put her through is so wrong. You could see the difference between the Janet tour era and the Velvet Rope era visibly when it came to her. I wish somebody would spill some tea on Rene during the VR tour cause I heard a couple things about him yet he had some of her fans fooled thinking he was so sweet. I followed you on ig, you seem so cool and down to earth. Respect ✊🏾 Have you talked to her since that tour and did she ever find out that you weren’t approached because of Rene and Rex?
Thank you so much for your comments and Thank you for following me on IG! I totally agree with you! Yes I have and she did.
so it took almost 20 years to finally get a straight answer why the janet. tour was never released...
Better late than never
Lol 😂
Janet Jackson is so cute and gorgeous magnificent brilliant Janet Jackson hope you are well love you much
Love the story about Dave Barry 😍
Thank you once again for sharing your story. I throughly enjoyed it and can’t wait for your videos about your experience with Michael.
Thank You So Much!!!
One of the many things I have Learned in my life is that God knows what He is doing, Like placing the good ,bad and ugly in a person's life to show you and everyone else what your really made of. and all a bad and the ugly is gone do in the long run be a blessing anyway. Yes they are a pain and annoying but it's amazing how the Lord works. Thank you so much Mr Johnson you've made my heart smile
AMEN!!!!!! You made MY HEART SMILE!!!! Speaking My Language! Continued Blessings!!!
Thank you for telling your story. I'm glad you stood up for your principles and didn't take any of Rene's garbage. I love your positive attitude!
All eyes on Janet tonight! Super excited for her! 😁🤗💕
I thoroughly enjoyed your sharing your personal stories with us. I'm looking 4ward to hearing about the GOAT MJ.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I’ve always wondered what it was like touring with celebrities, but to see part 1-3, y’all worked hard! I am so appreciative that you shared your story and it’s perfect timing for the Janet documentary, it was like a prelude of what to expect! She is my favorite performer and I’m excited to see your next video on Michael Jackson! I love them so much! Thank you for sharing your experience!
Bro...... what's so funny about the lil john over playing part is.... i completely know what he was talking about! lol i can remember watching multiple clips of the janet tour especially in Australia. he was adding extra drum parts on if that didn't need to really be added. i was watching like hmmm.... this sounds good but its different from Jonathan. I really enjoyed this video man!!
Lol! But the point was that's what Janet actually liked! LOL. and Thank you so much Bro!
Loved this!!! Loved to see how humble and nice Janet was and I’m glade you gave us insight on everything. There is no such thing as being messy when telling your side of the story. Rene should’ve been nicer. No need to be an ass
Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge with us working with Janet. It was nice hearing how well she took care of everyone aswell yourself who came on board for the tour. Great job on the editing btw, everything was executed well. Thanks again❤👍🏻
Thank you for part 3! Audio sounds great and I love your insight into the touring industry. My notifications are on for your next video!
Peace and blessings Romeo, I'm happy that your story is being heard .My famTerence(MasterT)always said you were a stand-up dude and a good friend. Glad that the people get to see your talent, integrity and learn the inside of the insustry so that they can see beyond the smoke & mirrors... Salute!
Moses
I always wondered why you weren't on the Velvet Rope tour. Damn Rex, really!?
This dummy married Heather Hunter?

Thank You So Much! The only way to be right?! 🙏🏽 Continued Blessings!
Can you do a vocal breakdown and opinion of Janet's voice. Over the years she has gotten ALOT of flack for her vocal capabilities
Thanks Romeo, for sharing & keeping it REAL 💯🎯. I'M A HUGE MS JACKSON FAN AND HAVE BEEN FOR DECADES NOW. Unfortunately I was too young to go to those tours but my first one in 2015 #Unbreakable was Amazing, but I've heard so many things about her earlier tours being Phenomenal. I'm not in the music business but thank you for all the tips of standing your ground and staying true to yourself.. something I live by as well. And reminding people that all our BLESSINGS come from above "GOD" not man. MAY GOD CONTINUE TO SHINE ON YOU AND YOURS
Thank You! Blessings 🙏🏽
This is great love the bts info and I had to google cuz I’m nosy lol about HH.
😉
What a great story Romeo. Loved listening to all you had to say about the Janet tour.
Appreciated these videos and these lessons so much. The way you exhibited standing for something and not just accepting anything. There’s so many more things I learned that I can’t quite put into words but I appreciated everything you shared so much.
Thank You! Praise God.
Hi Romero 🌹from Cape Town South Africa 🇿🇦.I so much want comment on this but out of sheer respect for Janet I'll shut my trap, her documentary is out in a few days so jah 🇿🇦
Hi! I hear ya! But one thing I have to say is Janet never displayed anything but clas and grace as far as I saw. It was just a little crap in other areas. Thanks for your comment!
Thank you for sharing ❤️🙏🏿✨📿 Great spirit ,great energy,and love that smile 😊
René reminds me of that one student that will tell on a student if they don’t get pick for a sport in recess. That’s how childish and weird he was.
Wow I loved this series 😍. It's really messed up that the MD lied on you. It's scary when ppl lie on others bc you never know what kind of harm that can bring. Thank you for telling your story
I need you to be in on this Zoom Thursday Feb3rd 5pm PST. Codes will be posted soon
@@RomeoJohnsonTV oh really? What's this zoom about?
@@beoverwait The Documentary
@@RomeoJohnsonTV oh ok. That's cool. This should be fun. Thanks 😀
Thank you so much for sharing your truth and journey.
This was a very good insight. Good for you for being you, through it all.
You’ve blessed me with these videos
To God be the glory! Thank you 🙏🏽
Rene really was a total mess! I always had a feeling that he was a jerk! Glad to hear that you handled him.
LOL!
Glad you were so in tuned!
Bro, I didn't know any of this stuff when my band MN8 joined the tour...Wow bro what an experience
Yeah Bro when we met you guys in Australia, Lil John had just joined the band, and ole boy received the news that his girl wanted yo end the marriage. You guys would’ve never seen any of that. We were professional and we were in Australia having a BALL!!! Especially Lil John and me! It’s a wonder we weren’t banned. Lol
@@RomeoJohnsonTV YEAH! You guys were having fun bro. So glad to have met you all, you all were so humble and nice to us. This was the best memory of my music career and I will never forget it. I say to people now and in my interviews that I toured with Janet and they look at me in shock...you guys were like family, good times. Hopefully when I'm in the states we can meet up for a beer. Stay bless bro
@@KuleTOfficial Definitely! Hit me up!
I subscribed over a week ago to channel. Outside of Janet (my fav obviously lol) tour bts, your experience and knowledge on touring and this industry is amazing to listen to. As someone who has followed and grew up during those times, and noticed certain musicians or dancers work on same or similar artists tours, love this BTS and just The real on industry!!!
Omg yesss!! Been waiting for this, thank you for this gem 💎
15:58 I feel like your the precursor to her new documentary. I hope your in it?
I can't wait for touring with MJ
Wooowww! I am ready to post an essay in response to part three. But I will not bore you! I worked in television for a few years and had very similar experiences. I love how you did not once mention the music director’s name. 🤣(Nor shall I). 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 May God bless you and your family! 🙌🏼 🙏🏼
♥️
Your Fellow Libra,
Adelina
You can send me the essay. LOL!
Beautiful i love it thank you for telling the truth
This was so interesting and entertaining. I respect your realness. I don't believe in "bowing down" either.
I'm a uber JDJ stan... I greatly appreciated these segments and if you don't mind, I'd lik to post this to our Janet FB group.. Also, would you consider doing more bts but adding "the kids" ?
I love when you say "WHAT?" 30:50
😂
Tomorrow I appreciate you and everything 🥰but what about the tour bus experience, city to city interactions, take us on this tour. And omg thanks to you I noticed more like for example who you are (whose that dude singing on janet stage, 😳I mean like your dope
I commend you for standing your ground and thank you for posting this and your other videos!
Thank yu Mr. Romeo god bless
Thanks for sharing your story! It had to be more than amazing!!! Wonder where RE is now?
Not sure, but I pray he's well.
@@RomeoJohnsonTV hes married with a kid now and ROMEO THANX FOR THIS SOOO MUCH I AM A DIE HARD JANET FAN AND IF U DIDN'T GET THE ANSWER ABOUT JANETS TRAINER's NAME ITS TONY. fun fact do you KNOW WE HAVE BEEN BEGGING JANET TO PUT THIS ON OUT ON DVD..and or release it for over 2 decades we still are waiting(but thank you for answering that about the recorded show) and ALSO i loved your section on SNL for "anything anyplace" you was grooving to that bass. all these memories from this tour, im 37 now, my mother took me to every tour up until VR and i did everything solo , thanx so much for insight on this tour we don't have any inside information about it. I APPRECIATE you for this
Rene was jealous and insecure that Janet liked and appreciated what you and Omar Lopez brought to the table! He intentionally picked fights with you to get you outta there! He was doing this behind Janet’s back! He was acting like a Karen!
🎯
AMAZING! as always :)
MAN OH MAN IM SO PROUD OF U ROMEO And WHY DIDNT U BECOME UR OWN ARTIST AFTER THE TOUR?
Thank You SO Much! You know I Never had a desire to be a Star nor Artist. I just wanted to be a Bass Guitarist and make a living doing music. Well I learned that I was in the higher percentile of Singers than all these Monster Bass Players in the world! LOL. But God placed me in the Industry without the desire to be a Star! This is why I was able to be great and not bow to temptation, money position nor power. God is The SuperStar!
@@RomeoJohnsonTV it’s not about the money or being a star it’s about u showing the world UR TALENT AS AN ARTIST! BROTHER U CAN SANGGGG WHICH WE KNOW U CAN , 👀 GONE HEAD GIVE US A SINGLE OR TWO!
@@domedou7127 Thank You!
That young lady that you're talking about is Heather Hunter lol.
Cool as she could be. We got along fine. Another Libra too. Lol
How do the musicians keep in touch with their families if they’re on the road for a few years
Typically tours went out in what we called “legs” for a few weeks at a time 4 maybe 8 before taking a break for everyone to go home for maybe a week. Lol. Often Musicians would fly loved ones out. The longest I was gone at one time was 3 months overseas. I was missing my sons like CRAZY. I cried like a girl! Lol
@@RomeoJohnsonTV you cried like a loving father who missed his children. I know they missed you terribly too. Great video! 💕😉
@@nymeria1160 That's right! Thank you!
damn huge a listers attended wow! did Robert De Niro attend by any chance?
Love this ..thanks
Thank You for Subscribing!
Who's gonna be on the ZOOM Live TOMORROW? Thursday Ja. 27th?
After hearing this, yeah this just make me dislike him even more. There was a video I was watching, think it was the Soul Train music awards. Anyway, it had Luther Whitney, Stevie Wonder and Dionne Warwick. Amazing performance I mean Luther and Whitney killed it. They were singing " That's what friends are for" standing ovation everyone clapping but Rene, Janet is clapping smiling and Rene seem as he was bothered by the perfomance. My take on him is from the sounds of who he choose to pick with seems to be black. And it made me question is this man bias towards blacks? Does he have an issue with how talented black people are? Yeah not of fan of him and after the Janet Doc and this yeah it all sums up of how I feel about him. He was very insecure and glade she finally stood up to the coward.
🖤
40:16 Rex Salas
LOL
I just looked and he is married to Janet’s niece Stacee Brown.
Hmm Do you think this why Omar wasn't on the Velvet Rope tour for similar reasons?
Oh Definitely! We spoke about it back then.
@@RomeoJohnsonTV Wow smh
Are you still working with Janet Jackson
Romeo, i asked this question to Janet about the tours being released back in 2005 and she actually responded!
Here:
ruclips.net/video/eXOSw9hOivM/видео.html
In 2011 i asked her assistant about it again and she said they were actually in meetings about them being released on dvd.
Have you heard anything since the 90s from them about possibly releasing the tour?
Thats so awesome to hear that she’s even considering it! Thank you ! I have not heard anything.
I have photos of you and Vesta Williams
Awww. Please share. I Love and miss her so much!
I always thought Renee was Janet's soulmate..... I still think that. He turned out to be an a55hole in the end, which took me by surprise. I heard he was messing around with the choreographer. I noticed when we no longer saw Renee around Janet, we didn't see the choreographer around her either. That's just my putting 2 + 2 together.....then the song " You Ain't Right" solidified it for me.
He definitely was an a55hole. If you're talkin about Tina Landon, I'm pretty positive they weren't messin around. I don't think she liked him either. LOL
@@RomeoJohnsonTV It just seemed that way because after they broke up we no longer saw Tina with her again.
@@aqueenceereid4249 one of the Fans told me that was a result of involvement with another person... 🤷🏽♂
You know, if I was with a person from the beginning of her career and was involved in her development, I would also be suspicious of the people she meets along the way. look at Michael, who was surrounded by no one knows who. Therefore, I do not consider Rene a negative hero. and who among us is 100% perfect
You can always get your point across respectfully. Rene did not do that.
can u teach me to sing
More than likely! My track record is pretty Dope! Praise God!
ima take a wild guess and say it was Tyra banks that Rex was trying to marry??? im sittin here putting 2 and 2 together Lmao
Not at all!!! LOL!!!
