Before there was a Beyonce’, there was Janet Jackson!!
At 59 years old some of us are moving a little slower and looking seasonedly fine, however none of us can touch Ms. Janet Jackson, as she not only accepted this years American Music Awards Icon award but she performed as well, giving some these youngins a run for their money.
Janet Jackson, Ms. Jackson if you’re NASTY, a 11 time AMA winner as well as a 5 time Grammy Award winner, who turned 59 earlier this month, sang and danced to her hits “Someone to Call My Lover” and “All For You” in front of the star-studded audience at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas on Memorial Day before she was honored with the show’s Icon Award.
Janet Jackson in her acceptance speech said:
“I mean no disrespect in any way but I don’t consider myself an icon. My family, myself, our dream was to, it wasn’t ever to be famous. We always had a special love for music, dancing and singing. Fame came as a result of hard work and dedication,” “My story, my family story, is truly an American story. This would have only happened in America. The only thing that I hope for is that I’ve been an inspiration to other and artists to follow their dreams and succeed.”
