One of the many things I love about Janet is that she NEVER phoned in choreo. She is always right there with her dancers, live performance or videos. Some folks are only around for the 3rd 8-count. #JanetJacksonAppreciationDay https://t.co/mTT1fX6Jk2

Did you know that Janet was talking about police brutality and social injustice in her music at a time when nobody else was, (State of the World) and had Chuck D. rap on one of her tracks? (New Revolution)

Janet was slated to play Lena Horne in a biopic. Lena’s family forced her out after the SuperBowl. A lost opportunity at a great story....blocked over stupidity and hypocrisy. Janet was/is stunning! #JanetJacksonAppreciationDay pic.twitter.com/Aqcd9W6q1m
