Pop Queen, Janet JacksonJanet Damita Jo Jackson (born May 16, 1966 in Gary, Indiana) is an American singer and sister of pop star Michael Jackson. Over the course of the 80s, she has emerged as the most respected talent of her family for the 90s. Janet has attained world-wide superstar status with her dance moves and music - always keeping up with trends and never selling out to the "safe pop sound." Janet first tried out her showbiz talents at the age of 5 in Las Vegas opening up for her brothers. By age 7, Janet was singing and dancing on TV specials with her brothers. But it was her acting in various sitcoms (Good Times (1977-79), Diff'rent Strokes (1981-82), and Fame) that first found her some success. Janet was actually hand-picked by TV mogul Norman Lear to appear in Good Times. She became one of the most commercially successful female entertainers of all time. Since her debut she has sold upwards of 90 million albums and singles worldwide, and is the only female artist in history to score 5 back to back #1 studio albums on the Billboard Pop chart.
