Rocking a chic white jacket over super cool baggy jeans, Janet and her crew — a squadron honestly — brought back early 2000s feels with their electric dance moves.
Janet's Heartfelt Speech at AMA
When Janet accepted that Icon Award, she spoke from her heart and touched everyone listening. Always humble, even with her legendary status, she had us feeling every word. “I'm so, so honored. I am so grateful,” she confessed with pure honesty. She even surprised us by saying, “I mean no disrespect in any, but I don't consider myself an icon.” Classic Janet, right?
She took us on a trip down memory lane, reflecting on her path and dreams. “My family and I never aimed at fame; that wasn't how we were raised. We just loved music, dancing, and singing, and fame was just a part that came along with hard work,” she shared, embodying that classic American dream.
Janet also spoke about inspiring others, especially budding artists. “I hope I' ve been an inspiration, helping others chase dreams and make them real,” she shared, highlighting her role as a mentor and pioneer in music.
A Warm Thank You from Janet
She expressed deep gratitude, thanking everyone who's been there through her illustrious career. “Thanks my staff, my management, CAA, LiveNation, AEG, and all those incredible dancers, musicians, and producers I' ve worked with. To my family, my biggest supporters, and my fans—because it's because you and God that I'm here,” she said, her voice warm and sincere.
Janet wrapped up with a touching note about faith and gratitude, emphasizing spirituality's importance. “Thank you, AMAs, humbled and grateful. Last but not least, keep God in every part because that's where he wants. I love you,” she concluded, leaving everyone inspired and moved.
Janet Jackson's Ongoing Influence

Her “Together Again Tour” in 2024 was a huge hit, and now she's captivating fans at her Las Vegas residency at Resorts World Theatre, thrilling audiences until late September.
