The singer responsible for the most notorious "wardrobe malfunction" in history had a pithy response when asked what she would be wearing on stage for her first tour in seven years.

"Clothes," deadpanned Janet Jackson, whose "Rock Witchu" Tour comes to the Greensboro Coliseum on Saturday.

Jackson, who achieved a different type of fame when her breast was exposed during a duet with Justin Timberlake during the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show, elaborated. Slightly.

"There are about nine changes in the show, and, I might add, these are full changes. I'm doing a couple of things I've never done before," Jackson said. "Normally when you undress, you do very quick changes because you have on a segment of your next costume underneath. We're not doing that.

"So we'll have very quick, hard changes. It's about the hardest show we've ever done," she said. "The costumes for the show, as far as that goes - I'm very intrigued with the future. (The look) has a taste of that."

Rock Witchu - not a reference to the 1979 hit by her brother Michael - is Janet Jackson's first time on the road since her "All for You" tour in 2001. She had hoped to go out following the release of "20 Y.O." but scotched those plans when her new label, Island Def Jam, asked her to concentrate on bringing out the 2008 album, "Discipline."

Jackson, who was rehearsing for the tour and shooting the Tyler Perry film "Why Did I Get Married" at the time, agreed.

"I had to break the news to the kids - the dancers - that we weren't going to tour. It was pretty sad," she said. "That was the big delay, but I wasn't going to postpone this for anything."

The current tour, which opened Sept. 10 in Vancouver, British Columbia, is "for the fans," Jackson said. Look, content and set list are determined with the help of listener input.

"I have a call-in number for fans, and they can leave me messages, and I'll leave a message or speak to them directly," the 42-year-old singer said.

"I've asked them what they'd like to see, what they'd like to hear and what they want. This is what I'm trying to give them."

The two-hour show will be dance-heavy, she said. "A lot of the dancers have said it shouldn't be called 'Rock Witchu.' It should be called 'The History of Dance.'"

Jackson, whose 10 albums have sold more than 100 million copies , wouldn't speculate on her future with Island Def Jam. "I don't know what the future holds for us," she said.
