JANET JACKSONLOSES AUDIO AT ESSENCE FESTIVALCaps Off Weekend of Issues

Janet Jackson was not impervious to technical difficulties that plagued Essence Festival losing audio midway through her performance but powering through to kill it regardless.

The singer was one of the big headliners at the NOLA concert series this weekend at Caesars Superdome ... where TONS of huge stars performed in an event comparable to Coachella

Janet, unfortunately, because during her set ... her mic seemed to cut out while she was in the middle of either talking or singing

The good news is that this little hiccup appeared to go mostly unnoticed, and the rest of Janet's time on stage was a smash hit

Here seemed to be quite a bit of sound issues throughout the past couple days of acts -- including some complaints about Halle and Chloe Bailey's set

The audio for C/H were the least of some people's concerns though ... even more viewers at home were pissed that Hulu only live-streamed their very last song
