About Janet Jackson
Janet Damita Jo Jackson (born May 16, 1966) is
an American singer-songwriter, producer, dancer, actress, and
the youngest child of the famed Jackson music family. She is
the sister of pop
icon Michael Jackson. Breaking away from the
shadows of her siblings, Jackson now ranks as the ninth most
successful artist in the history of rock and roll, according
to Billboard magazine in 2004.
Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction"
During the halftime show of Super Bowl XXXVIII on February 1,
2004, Jackson performed with Justin Timberlake to an audience
of more than one hundred million people. During this live performance,
Jackson sang along with Timberlake on his song 'Rock Your Body.'
When Justin sang the lyric 'gonna have you naked by the end
of this song,' her top was torn open by Timberlake, exposing
Jackson's right breast; the nipple was partially covered by
a nipple shield. Timberlake called the incident a 'wardrobe
malfunction.' Jackson apologized, calling it an accident and
that Timberlake was supposed to pull away the bustier and leave
the red-lace bra intact; however, she later said to an interviewer
for Genre magazine that she wishes she had not apologized at
all. Read
full story
CBS, the NFL, and MTV (then one of CBS's corporate
siblings), which produced the halftime show, disclaimed all
responsibility under a hailstorm of controversy. Jackson and
Timberlake confirmed those denials, but the FCC continued with
its investigation. As a result, CBS invited Jackson to appear
at the 2004 Grammy Awards ceremony to make another public apology.
She declined, but Justin Timberlake apologized and appeared
as both a performer and a presenter.
Jackson and Dupri
Jermaine Dupri, Jackson's boyfriend, left his post on the Grammy
Awards committee after Jackson refused to apologize again for
what happened at the Superbowl. Since 2004, there have been
rumours that the couple married, though they have constantly
denied these reports. Dupri appeared in Jackson's video for
'I Want You,' while Janet returned the favor by appearing in
Dupri's video for his 2005 single, 'Gotta Getcha.'
As a result of the media attention, Jackson became
the most-searched for person on the Internet in 2004. Jackson
was searched 50 times for every request for Super Bowl commercials.
Janet was also the most-searched of 2005 on Google.com.
2006—present: 20 Years Old
Jackson is currently preparing to release her ninth studio album,
scheduled for a September 26, 2006 release. Jermaine Dupri is
one of the executive producers of the album and has said the
new album will be titled 20 Years Old, a nod to the 20th anniversary
of Control, and also references to how old Janet 'currently
feels.'
On May 1, 2006, Jackson revealed a new song called
'Weekend' on her official website and left a message stating
that she had finished working on 20 Years Old. On May 2, 2006,
Jackson left a new message on her website, saying that 'Weekend'
will not appear on 20 Years Old, that the first single from
the album, entitled 'Call on Me,' which features Nelly, will
be released on June 19, 2006, and that a tour in support of
the album is being planned.
Janet is set to collaborate with rappers Khia,
on the song 'So Excited' due August 2006, and Chingy, on a track
on his new album, Hood Star
