5 Surprising Facts About Janet Jackson Ahead of Her 2025 AMAs Return
Janet Jackson will be honored with the Icon Award at the 51st American Music Awards, marking a highly anticipated return to the spotlight alongside her upcoming Las Vegas residency. As a legendary singer, actress, and dancer, her influence on pop culture spans decades. Here are five lesser-known facts about her remarkable journey:
1. Her Music Career Started by Accident
Janet never planned to be a singer. At age 9, she recorded a song called Fantasy in her family’s home studio out of boredom. When her father and brother Michael heard it, they were so impressed her father insisted she pursue music—despite her dreams of studying business law.
2. She’s a Self-Taught Dancer
Despite her iconic dance moves, Janet has had no formal training. She learned by watching classic MGM musicals. Ballet didn’t work out—“I’ve got a booty,” she joked—and after a harsh experience as a child, she developed her unique style through self-discipline and observation.
3. She Almost Recorded a Duet with Prince
During the making of Rhythm Nation 1814, producers considered turning Love Will Never Do (Without You) into a duet with Prince. Janet sang the verses in two different registers in anticipation, but the collaboration never materialized—a major “what-if” in music history.
