I agree let's not try and turn Janet into Michael .... let Janet be Janet and pay tribute as she sees fit through the medium of dance. besides isn't she doing Scream.

I'm really happy and excited but it's a shame the surprise got leaked and MTV had to announce it.

Looks like it was supposed to be a secret. Damn Twitter!


Well, they'll sure draw a bigger audience by announcing it. Most people don't give a crap about the VMAs and wouldn't bother watching otherwise.

I like some of Janet's music, but it's all way too similar for my tastes. So much is that breathy quiet voice and it gets boooring.

Janet Jackson has been busting her butt rehearsing for a Michael Jackson tribute at the MTV Video Awards this weekend -- and it promises to be a nipple-free affair. We think.

Ms. Jackson is set to put on a huge MJ-honoring performance featuring 20 backup dancers -- which is being put together by some of the best choreographers in the world, including Frank Gatson and Travis Payne.

According to Kryiss Grant
, one of the dancers involved (who was also an usher at MJ's burial), some rehearsals have lasted 15 hours a day.

Once Janet is finished honoring her brother, Grant tells us "there won't be a dry eye in the house."

Can't wait to see it....

Oh, I understand that. I like Janet more than Michael. lol It's likely that some sort of tribute may involve MJ songs, and I think "Smooth Criminal" would be a good choice.

um, ok. its janet doing a tribute to michael and his legacy. i'd hardly think wearing one of her brother's most famous outfits (and the very outfit on the cover of his ultimate collection set) is trying to "turn janet into michael." this isn't about janet being janet, she can do that when she has a record out to promote herself. this is about janet tributing her brother. find me a tribute band that doesn't mimic their subject...

and its a medley being performed.

Except....

1. Janet has a duet with her brother that is her own as much as it is his.

2. Several of Janet's songs would be appropriate for a tribute performance to Michael - led by the most obvious, Together Again, one of her most-loved hits.

3. Janet is her own artist, not a tribute act.

Personally, I do not need to see Janet try to mimic Michael. No one can be Michael (though if anyone could come close to recreating his magic on stage, maybe it's her). I would love if she finally performed Scream with Michael on video screen - the performance they were never able to do in life - and then finished with a bit of Together Again.

Would be cool if they did "Alright" with the shoes from "Criminal" so she could lean.

I wonder will she do RN? Especially since MJ gets paid for her doing RN by him owning the rights to the sample.
