MTV Icon: Janet Jackson

Storyline

MTV's inaugural "ICON" event pays tribute to Janet Jackson, in a production that's 90% tribute, 10% celebrity roast. The timeline of Janet's career is explored through widescreen video-montages and live-performances (Janet's songs) featuring contemporary artists like Destiny's Child, Mya, Pink & Usher. An all-star affair featuring on-stage presenters, pre-recorded celeb-commentary, a message from brother Michael, and finally.. an energetic performance by Miss Jackson and her troop of dancers.
