Janet Jackson used her awe-inspiring performance at last night’s ‘Essence Festival’ to honour the life of her father…the late Joe Jackson.
The omnipresent musical force passed away on June 27th and is survived by a family now led by Janet and her mother Katherine.
How the stage-blazing icon paid tribute to her old man?
Watch below…
Beautiful.

The Queen of everything!!!!????????
That tribute made me cry. Love you Janet
Janet jackson/Tina Turner/Madonna – are THE GREATEST FEMALE ENTERTAINERS OF ALL TIME. Everyone else is a carbon copy.
China you need to expand your list homie. Whitney, Celine, Mariah, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, Aretha Franklin, and Patti certainly are on that same list and they never copied anybody.
Heartfelt tribute. From what ive seen she brought the deep cuts this time that she left out last time!!!!!!!! C’mon Panorama!!!!!!!
Great tribute! I love the Jackson family….just black EXCELLENCE ❤️ ?
Damn, Janet did her thing last night!
After the fame and attention from Girls Trip, this was a great time and place for Janet to strike gold with the public and industry professionals and I think she did it. Don’t they televise the show at some point?
I was there 3rd row yall. I though Janet looked and sounded amazing. The audience was definitely feeling her performance. She was very impressive and included some extra songs to her set list like You Ain’t Right which I haven’t seen her perform since 2002. Fantasia did a great job and although her and Janet are polar opposites the audience received Fantasia’s performance equally (if not even more than Janet’s). Teddy Riley was great too because he brought out Ginuwine, Guy, Dave Hollister, and Blackstreet.
Cool ? I love me some Teddy Riley lol ? ?
didn’t he bring out SWV too?
Yeah he brought out swv, Ginuwine, Dave Hollister and a bunch of other artists.
nice! lucky you i’m so jealous! 🙂
I never could handle her whispering soprano tones…
