YBF readers who hit up the Janet Jackson concert last night in Greensboro, NC dished to TheYBF.com about Janet's weird cancellation of that concert. And the way they were informed that the concert was canceled: When they pulled up, everyone was going the wrong way to park. The parking attendant came up to the cars and told folks that the show was just canceled. And they were told to check the newspapers and internet for more info. Damn Janet. No warning?
