Janet Jackson, a legendary figure in the music industry, will grace the stage at the 51st American Music Awards (AMAs). The four-day event, planned in extravagant detail to occur at the soon-to-open Fontainebleau Las Vegas, would feature her first live TV performance in seven years. The five-decade Jackson has had a huge impact on both the industry and the cultural landscape, and this tribute will honor her for that greatness. Her performance is the capstone of her amazing career. It also exquisitely serves to evoke her relationship with her late brother, Michael Jackson.
Our beloved star finally returns in what’s sure to be the most awaited comeback ever! This follows literally two months earlier their viral breakthrough over at the MTV Video Music Awards. At that poignant ceremony, she paid tribute to Michael Jackson with a performance that included a reworked version of her emotional 1997 song “Together Again.” In addition, she performed an emotional tribute to him the same awards show.
Celebrating a Musical Legacy
Janet Jackson has had an amazing, groundbreaking, pioneering career and body of work. She has earned five Grammy Awards, 11 Billboard Music Awards and 11 American Music Awards. Her timeless hits like “Control,” “What Have You Done for Me Lately,” and “Make Me” continue to resonate with audiences. In a surprising turn, her 2001 song “Someone To Call My Lover” just recently re-entered the Billboard charts. This revival, 24 years later, is proof that her music truly lives on.
Jackson’s new living situation in Las Vegas further complicates her renowned career. The Fontainebleau Las Vegas venue will be home to this unique performance. It’s all shrouded in secrecy, with details guarded more closely than the nuclear codes. Perhaps no greater interest is being paid than by the fans, and for good reason.
