Can you believe Janet Jackson is 57? It's amazing when people we grew up listening to or watching in sports or entertainment get older like us. In Jackson's case, we watched her as a very young TV star before she followed her famous brother's footsteps in the music industry. She was known for her toe tapping rythm pop music, much like her brother Michael Jackson. To my knowledge the two of them only collaborated on one song/video, "Scream."
In all, Ms. Jackson won 5 Grammy Awards, ten MTV Video Music Awards, and eleven Billboard Music Awards. All told, she was a mega-star in her day. Again, can you believe Janet Jackson is 57 ?? So, we will travel into the time machine back to the 80's and 90's and do Janet Jackson trivia on Wiki-Pete-ia.
