As we reported last week (one of the first to do so too), Janet Jackson will be taking to the stage at the American Music Awards on November 22nd. Today, the performance, which will air live from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. has been officially confirmed, with it also revealed that Ms. Jackson will be opening the show with a special 8-minute medley!

Speaking on Janet’s performance, American Music Award producer Larry Klein said:

“We’re thrilled about having Janet Jackson open this year’s show. She is an incredibly dynamic performer, and I think the audience will be excited to see what she has in store.” {Source}

With previously announced performers including Whitney Houston, Rihanna, Shakira, Lil’ Wayne, Mary J. Blige, Lady Gaga, Eminem, Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Lopez, the Black Eyed Peas and Kelly Clarkson, this show already seems to be the definitive award show to watch this year. Next Sunday couldn’t come any sooner!

    Sam, why didn’t you post about Whitney receiving the International Artist award?- she has the most awar d by a female and the most award ever (tie with alabama) and she will be only the 8th person to win this award.

    Don’t u think that deserved a post? Yep, we love Janet

    They know Janet Jackson is the 2nd best entertainer in the world after her brother, plus she saved the VMA’s. Respect the Icons. 11/22/09 can’t come fast enough.
