2001 saw Pink, Mya and Usher tribute Janet Jackson during her ‘MTV Icon’ speical.
This year, the star will receive a special tribute put on by Tinashe, Jason Derulo…and Ciara.
Epic news after the jump…
Janet Jackson‘s indelible mark on the world of music transcends decades and generations, and because of that, BET is honored to recognize the Queen of Pop with the first-ever Ultimate Icon: Music Dance Visual Award at the 2015 BET Awards.
“This is Janet Jackson, people! We are excited beyond belief to present her with our inaugural ULTIMATE ICON: Music Dance Visual award and we are thrilled that she chose the BET Awards as the first step on her new road,” said Stephen G. Hill, BET’s President of Programming. “An inspiration to many other artists, ‘Ms. Jackson’ (’cause I’m nasty) blends music, dance and visuals in unique and groundbreaking ways and we look forward to celebrating her storied history… as well as giving the BET Awards audience a peek into her Unbreakable future.”
Ms. Jackson’s comeback has already begun with her first single, “No Sleeep,” from her upcoming album — her first in seven years — officially premiering yesterday (June 22). The Ultimate Icon: Music Dance Visual award will be another honor that Jackson can add to her résumé as she currently holds six Grammys, two Emmys, a Golden Globe, and many others. She is also the first African-American female artist to have hit singles in each of the last four decades, proving that she is very much deserving of this prestigious distinction.

This going be a great tribute
Yassss!!! Ciara will slay this performance!!???? #CiaraForJanetTribute ????
Cici finna show ha azzzzz honey!!! This will b epic and a good lk for Cici
Yessss B****!
Yeah, great.
|
The music video for Tinashe’s Cold Sweat is out. Make a post. She’s truly a young Janet Jackson.
Ugh your’e back how was hell b****
It’s about time these shows start honoring those who actually earned and deserve it.
I think their past honorees were also deserving as well as Janet. But she’s the first BET icon recipient so we’ll have to wait to see who they pick to follow in her footsteps.
If tinashe slays cici tho..
Won’t happen, but she gives her a run for her money!
This is on point! I need CB & JLO in there too! Even Britney & Christina need to pay BET a visit for this one!
Yaaasssss bish yaaaasssss!!!!
@Royalkev Christiana won’t be there and Britney well all I can say is check out MTV’s 2007 performance of gimme more with Britney….. need I say more.
@ Shady LOL
Yes RoyalKev! What a line up that would be! Even though Mya hasnt been in the limelight for awhile, i wanna see her back up there. That gurl could dance!
^ Mya can dance! I wouldn’t even be mad at that.
Janet will flop, no matter how many “Icon” awards she buys… People have said “No thanks” to Janet. With that said, I like No Sleep and I’ll buy her album but I call it as I see it. Her commercial appeal is OVER
So is yo pusssy juice u dry pusssy BIITCH!!!
LOL IS THAT WHY SHE SOLD OUT TOUR DATES JUST OFF OF PRESALES BEFORE THE SONG EVEN CAME OUT? STAY MAD H0 LOL
Cece rocks and I Stan.. Got both her album. Fly is hotttt. I’ve never liked Jason tho and tinashe ain’t for me
I was hoping for a tribute where she was honoured by not only those who came after her but also her peers and idols too.Something like Ciara (or Tinashe),The Jacksons and Paula Abdul.Anyway those 3 are gonna do great,at least she’s getting honoured
Umm… is barry gibb your avatar?
Yes,i’m a huge fan of The Bee Gees
Was really hoping for this too. Since this is what they’re giving her, Ciara, Jason and Tinashe better DELIVER! I would lol if they downright recreate P!nk, Usher and Mya’s 2001 ICON performance. Them organisers better come up with something exciting.
I agree definitely
No Sleep is #14 on US iTunes!!!! I’m happy for her. But this don’t mean she’ll actually chart on the real charts like Billboard. *truth spoken*
They could’ve also booked Kelly and maybe Mya as well
Yesssss! Man i miss Mya!
lmao talk about z list line up. manet has influenced this new generation of the Novocal squad tbh.
Hahaha they’ve got the whisper collectors honouring her. Poor line up Gayson Da Faglow and Cbola and Tin Opener who can’t even pass 30K between up. hardly a tribute
Tinashe is just an okay performer in my opinion but I think Ciara will definitely more than do Janet justice. I don’t quite get the Derulo pick.
They need Asia Monet from Dance Moms and Raising Asia but I guess they can give Ciara a hand out.
All hands on deck, go Tinashe.
Y’all making it seem as if Janet simply fell off like she wasn’t blacklisted after the Super Bowl performance. Janet would’ve still been a big seller, especially with Damita Jo and Discipline
Why did “All Nite” flop then?
I blame Gil’s Choreography.
^ OK! This is what I find hilarious! I’m not surprised that some desperate measures are taken to downplay people like Janet though!
So excited for Sunday’s BET awards but what other performers are being tapped? They’ve been so slow with their announcements. Anyway, back to Janet. First off, I have no doubt in my mind that Ciara will slay this! Sure, she embodies Janet when she steps on stage (with her own style of course) but she’s never actually paid tribute to her in a formal capacity before. As for Jason, it’s funny how BET has been paying him dust since his debut in 2009 but the one time they ask him to perform, it’s a tribute? I told y’all BET is shady af. Tinashe girl, this is your time to wow us! I believe this is her second major award show performance after last year’s Soul Train Music Awards. She’s hella new to the game which makes it easier for people to criticise her if she ever so slightly dips but I’m confident in her!
Tinashe will slay. She has not faulted in ANY of her performances since she debuted. She’s performing on Cicis level by her “evolution” era.
Ciara – If
Tinashe – Nasty
Jason – Feedback
Janet – Rhythm Nation/No Sleep medley
Janet,Ciara,Jason,Tinashe – That’s The Way Love Goes
My life would be complete
^ I see your vision!
Haha thanks Kev.It’s so exciting having her back
I said the same regarding Ciara. I want her to do “If” along with “Rhythm Nation” or “All For You”
Good vision of yours but not necessarily in that order.
They Betta honour the QUEEN of the stage!!
This is a decent lineup. The QUEEN celebrated by her underlings.
And all is right in the kingdom.
*Plays Royals by Lorde*
Great lineup. They deffo emulate her the most.
Yessssssss I believe they will do Ms. Janet some justice. I’m looking forward to this year’s award show.
Just hope my QUEEN performs DLWML. Yall know I could careless about this tribute but Janet is a legend so I can’t say she doesn’t deserve this.
please, this tribute performance could possibly help Ciara more than a performance of DLWML ever could….lol
How would it help her boo? this is the BET awards not Granmys.. DLWML needs promo!!!!!!!
That’s ok. Your fave knows she cares, the most out of anyone! Lololololol!
Lol *side eyes*
Maybe I’ll eat my words and get slayed that night.
You’ll be slayed. Janet is the original slayer.
because no one cares about DLWML neither will they after a performance…if she slays janet’s tribute at least she’ll get a trend or two
Yep it’s official, no one will tune in to watch this mess.
this is going to be at some level I would also love JLo to be a part she too and perform. just think of J Lo getting down to that’s the way love goes baby take me back 2 the 90s again please ♡. the nightclubs we’re a lot better and funner then.
Boring, no one tributes like J.Lo, i can only imagine how spectacular a tribute from her to Janet would be, she can do it all by herself. Can we call JT too 😀
I have to actually agree (not with the all by herself part though). Jlo would slay songs like Escapade, When I Think of You (not many fit that one), You Want This and even Doesn’t Really Matter! I hate to say it, but JT would be a great addition also.
I was just kidding with JT but seriously J.Lo knows how to pay homage to someone, look at her Selena tribute and the Celia Cruz tribute who is one of the best performances of all times IMO, one word, spectacular, even the white audience didn’t know what to do with themselves at the end, specially Justin haha.
Typos 🙂
I disagree @Royalkev because Jennifer was there rehearsing for If when the video was in production before she was replaced by Kelly Konno so she knows the If dance so she would do it more Justice but I hope Janet’s old dancers are there to guide Tinashe, Jason, and Ciara because if Ciara f*** up that IF dance if given to her you know the fans/stans will drag her to hell and back, and you know Tina Landon will give her an epic side eye.
@Royalkev You Tried it with Justin Timberlake.
Hell no we don’t need his over hyped ass. Go seat somewhere, especially he left her out to dry. Fck em
I actually could seeing JT having something to offer. Other Janet stans may not be interested though. LOL. I can’t blame them. But if he ever wants to make things up to her…
As for JLO, she’s dynamic on stage! She will make JJ proud.
OF COURSE NO DOES A TRIBUTE LIKE JLO… THAT’S BC SHE’S A WALKING UNTALENTED SELENA TRIBUTE HER DAMN SELF. HER OWN “ARTISTRY” CONTAINS NOTHING BUT ASHANTI, MARIAH CAREY, CHANTÈ MOORE, PITBULL, CIARA , KAT DELUNA, AND ETC REJECT PILE.
Lol @Shady
I was just as mad at JT as all the other Janatics were. I just feel like if you publicly screw up with somebody, than publicly make it right. Something like this would be JT’s opportunity (and it wouldn’t have to necessarily be at the BET awards).
Beyonce’s Impact. 😆

Lmao
Beyonceé > Janet Jackson
This should be entertaining!! Oh and congrats to Janet’s first single performing better than Cocaine smoke on itunes!!????????????????????????
“Cocaine smoke”???????????????????? I’m done!!!
Teyana Taylor over Derholeno…
Beyonceé has outsold Janet.
Bey: 190 million Records…
Janet: 160 million Records.
Bey also has more weeks at #1.
Bey is The real queen
Receipt of Trashyonce selling 190 million?
Bey solo sold 130 Million, with Destiny’s Child she sold 60 Million. 190 million in total 🙂
Lol. Since when has DC’s sales constituted towards Beyonce? Please stop. You’re embarrassing yourself.
|
In addition to your ignorance, can… …may you please post a receipt of that 130 million
Bey’s receips are… 35 million albums and 95 million singles. + 60 mill with DC. Some sources even say Beyoncee has sold 220 Mill WW. Either way it’s more than Janet (Janet has impressive sales too might I add)
For the third time, please post a receipt.
@Sandra you can’t add group sells with the solo sells dummy SMFH.
Both women have stats that top the other in several categories. The list of their achievements is actually a pretty long one too! Trust me, I would know!
Just pay Janet her respect because she’s a pioneer and be grateful we have a Beyonce in this F’d up industry now!
Please leave Queen Bey out of this but she is near 200 million sold.
190 million records? You must be trolling.
Like really, Beyoncé is not and has never been a big singles nor album seller.
Lol These Silly Hooes. The Queen is a big singles and cd seller cuum seeeething f***. 140 solo records sold. Not including DC records. The first f** should be taking that fork out of Hoeianna. Shes done biitch kii kii
*Millions too*
In before “the Madonna stans are pressed” comments, that Sandra chick is a Michael Jackson fan, she hates Madge too 😉
@sucideblonde
I don’t hate anyone.
Then stop trolling and let Janet fans enjoy this moment.
‘Shes’ a Rihanna fan also.
We need a Yonce tribute… I would live for Ciara tributing the REAL QUEEN.
B**** keep trying it. She is doing this for the 1st and Realest QUEEN.
You seem mad that your fave is a handmadien to Beyonce and a footstool to QUEEN JANET!
Now down like your fave bitxh!
Bothered because I think Bey is the Real Queen? Which she is. Stop being so insecure.
Unbothered HO. Who dressed like who for Halloween. Who tributes who already.
B**** Beyonce is a QUEEN JANET is the original QUEEN.
You are the one who is salty that your fave is just a DRAG QUEEN doing tribute performances to Janet at gay clubs.
B**** don’t try to hide behind Beyonce, worry about your struggle fave and her Adam’s apple. 🙂
Your the one who is insecure hun. You shade Janet at every turn, when your fave is a lesser tribute act dedicated to Janet.
I mean you are so angry that Janet is her better.
Don’t blame Janet because your faves career is as dead as the woman standing next to her in your avi…
😉
Damn @Anastasia when you drag you drraaaggg! Damn @Molly should be no existent for awhile.
J.Flop and Paula Abdul should be there too but they did good with this line up.
Good for you is everything girl
Yes! Im so proud of Selena for experimenting! It’s so refreshing
Told y’all.
.
I heard Janet’s choreographer just followed Ciara, Jason Delurlo and Tinashe on twitter. Hint hint.

The hives are seething at Queen Janet again. These haggard homosexual harlots just can’t stop trolling.
Biitch i don’t see Nobody in The Hive in here hating. Your the damn troll. Go find out why Hoeianna album got shelved kii kii
BEYONCÉ (2013) : 4 Million WW
Discipline (2008) : 1 Million WW
Janet can not keep up with Queen B
You sound dumb
Biitch stop bringing Queen Bey in this.
Well,at least i made it here slightly before the trolls for the first time in a looong time.mad love to all JanFans out there.Support her like we’ve done all these years
Yaaasss honey. JANET IS QWEEN!!!
Tinsahe will out di Ciara. Ciara is a great dancers, but she’s sloppy and not as sharp as Janet. Tin is by the book and will capture Janet more than Ciara. But we’ll see…
They’re having these flops tribute Janet to make her feel better about being queen of the flops for the last decade.
Why Janet fans hate Beyonce?
I don’t.
BEYONCE(2013) 3.8 million WW
AALIYAH(2001) 14 million WW
JANET(1993) 20 million WW
BRITNEY(2001) 14 million WW
BRANDY(1994) 16 million WW
CIARA(2013) 116K
.
Someone’s self-titled album looks BEYsic.
… 2013 compared to the 90’s & early 00’s though?
Why did you skip Beyonce Dangerously In Love (2003) 11 million ww ?
Jesus Christ. Ummm… I believe that’s a list of self-titled albums. Please make reading a priority.
Can’t you read? I clearly said self-titled albums.
^ Apparently we’re all not “making reading a priority”, I already stated down below that I saw the theme 6 minutes prior to these Late, contrived responses. Still madt aren’t we?
Have any of Rihannas albums outsold Dangerously In Love?
Ummm biitch self titled was released in Dec. 2013.. Lets wait til Janet NEW album is released to compare CURRENT sales. We all saw FLOPney Jean and AAliyah will never live again for us to find out if she would have flopped like every other R&B chick from her era!!???????????????? Gworl Bye
You can not be serious with this lame ass list. Well I can see why you’re bitter. Your first fav was a flop before her death, and after, and now your second fav’s career is basically dead. Wow look at that, you stan for both the dead, how ironic LOL
Ok, I see that your doing self-titled albums, but I didn’t know it was a requirement for that to be everyone’s peak? Why single it out?
Because he just realized his second fav’s career is officially dead.
#NoLogicNavy.
Here’s another fun fact. All of those singer’s have Grammy’s, or a Grammy, with the exception of Aaliyah.
Really b****? *Eye Roll*
Aaliyah self titled album didn’t sell no where near 14 million. Also BEYONCE sold over 5 million.
Lol exactly !!! The inflation is real
It actually sold 13 million and Bey’s sold 3.7 not 5 million.
Who and what? what kind of messy tribute is this?
This seems like a decent tribute but wasn’t JJ given this award during like the AFU era when videos and entertaining were strongly valued? Just a little confused but a great honor nonetheless.
EPICNESS! I can’t wait for the slayage.
@stephon
Mariah looks cute in your avi
I’m going to need that old f** S****** BLOND and his troll accounts to STFU. F** you’re not fooling anyone, you f****** pea brain.
By the likes you have, i’m guessing people actually agree with you. You can call me racist, gay, etc, but a troll, really?
Yet, you’re all of the above.
I won’t waste more time with you.
Go start that N@zi meeting you f****** goon.
@Sandra stop trolling behind Beyonce. You’re a Rihanna fan. The struggle.
i can smell this flop all the way from hell
Here for Jason and Ciara that Aquarius no neck having flop can go.
F*** trannet with her old raggedy flop ass no sleep is a snoozer set but cici will slay em
Ciara and Tinashe will do her justice. Im not sure about Jason. I dont keep up with his work
Tribute is an insult besides Ciara.
I hope Tinashe bust her face on stage. B**** is nothing more than a 1 hit wonder even Cassie slays her.
Ciara should be the only one giving the tribute. No one knows Tinashe and Jason is just ugh
Tinashe and Derulo yesss!!!! I can’t wait. Tinashe is such a star on the horizon!
Tidal lost another ceiling within 3 months. The Camels are losing.
Are you having a breakdown because Rihanna’s music career is over, or because you can’t seem to get any di*k?
I think it’s C.) ALL THE ABOVE ????????????????
When has this Sandra ever been a Rihanna fan? And who’s Naomi? It always shows up when the Fleahive’s getting dragged and it does damage control.
|
Stop hiding under random names fleas. Y’all are some weak ass hoez. 😆
B****, sit your Uncle Phil looking ass down and go purchase RLate…Oh wait, you cant. Because its nonexistent.
Hahahahahaha
|
Hi Naomi. You know, I totally forgot that you’re Naomi.
|
You know what they say: a criminal always returns to the scene of the crime. Thanks b*tch boy, and stop stealing LB’s drags. You’re such a struggle. 😆
???????????????? honey I here she’s flopping so bad, she’s retiring. No #DELAYED8 until Blue Ivy’s 21st BDay
*hear
@Slayhive
Since Rihanna’s peaked musically, I think that she’s going to take up full time instagram modeling instead lol.
Urban modeling is her best bet at this point lmao
???????????????????? hopefully that’ll help her catch up to Beyonce’s 31+ Million IG followers.. Doubt it tho, If flat ass crack pics and little saggy tit selfies couldn’t help..????????????
Its sucks to be her right NOOOOWWWW! lol. The Beyonce slayage was so real that she turned to doing lines of cocaine smdh.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZf3FtT_PJY
????????????????????????????????????????????
I’ve been coming to this site longer than you. And I don’t care about being ‘someone’ on a blog because I actually have a life. Who are you? You’re another anymous nobody on the net like the rest of us so get a grip.
Lol. Are you trying to do damage control again? Bye b*tch boy, you weak ass heaux.
Damage control for what? Baby, its not that serious you know. Theres more to life, you should try it out.
Let the lil n**** speak his mind he didn’t get to much of that in prison.
Lol @ Tyler. That explains it. They take blog life so seriously that they must decipher everyones profile, its their only connection to the outside world.
All thia hate towards Tee….. YESSS!!! You ain’t nothing if aint got hater. BYE to ALL Funky Dineva’s boo boo! ????????
Janet is utter trash like Lana, Rihanna, and Beyonce.
@S******
Oh please! JLo will never be anything more than Janet Jacksons back up dancer.
The line up is perfectly fine. I’d take Mya over JLo.
Whatever you say baby!
Mya is a beast on the dance floor, I LOVE HER!
Yes she is! I sure wish she was tributing Janet again!
This is going to be epic, i’m excited.
EW!!!
Bobby Beige should be a part of this tribute also. He might be a lunatic but the boy sure can dance.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ozja2js4MBA
Bey has sold about 135 million records
SCREAMING. You psychopathic phaggot. At least wait a few minutes before replying to your goddamn self. Jesus Christ. 😆
@Tyler. Its reminding me a lot of that Blue Ivy Carter Rod. Who was also obsessed with us. Its usual the ones who are guity, who are always trying to clock others.
Lol I’m noticing that too..hmmmm
Notice its other profile has also gone quiet for the most part. Hmmm. Makes you wonder.
Giiiiiirrllll but thats none of my business lolol
Tinman and Jason will open up for Ciara…. Catch that Tea
Ciara has to stay “If” I hope she does that song & Tinashe has s chance to really prove herself as a performer in a bigger stage !
Way to Jason!!!!! You finally got a spot on the BET Awards!!!! Copying Chris Brown (Bobby Beige/2015 Bobby Brown) style finally paid off. Can’t wait to see Jason find a spot on the Soul Train Awards later this year lmao
good luck to those artists Ciara, tinashe and Jason d and few more artist
