~ Da Divaz At Work Sessionz ~ Simply Janet ~ The Queen Of Dance ~

Welcome to a very special edition of Divaz At Work, today I feature and celebrate the work of an Icon and a legend of the highest caliber. Way before Beyonce was a child of Destiny and became Ms. Hova. Way before Britney Spears did it again and Ciara had her Goodies with her One’ Two Step. Before JLo was getting LOUD and jiggling more ass than jello there was a blueprint they all followed. That blueprint was a legend, an icon, who went by the name Janet aka Ms. Jackson (‘If Your Nasty’).

Janet was a trailblazer, fusing dance, with other music genres, raising the bar for music video choreography, speaking out about social injustice, breaking racial and sexual taboos. The trends she started in fashion and music can still be seen in the work of today's female music stars."

If Michael Jackson was the “King of Pop” then his little sister Janet has to be the “Queen of Pop”. For 20 plus years Janet Jackson has simply been a MOVEMENT. No other way to put it. Her music and videography are considered among the most influential in music pop culture history. She has forever changed the way videos and music are done. Her elaborate video sets, intricate dance routines, fashion, and meticulous detail set the blueprint for many to follow after. Jackson is credited as making music/performance and video choreography into an artform and she is the female Picasso.

Janet’s “Control” and “Rhythm Nation” album are considered trendsetters and 2 of the best selling albums by a female artist of all time. On this tribute to greatness I wanted to reflect Janet’s sexuality and gift of telling great stories through her dance music. Janet said: “I just want my music and my dance to catch the audience’s attention, and to hold it long enough for them to listen to the lyrics and what we’re saying.” Well for 20 plus years you’ve had our attention and we damn sure been watching and listening. So ladies and gentlemen I bring to the stage The Queen of Dance Janet Jackson aka Ms. Jackson…IF YOUR NASTY. LET’S DANCE!!! GIMME A BEAT!!!
