Janet Jackson Acceptance Speech at the 2019 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony 

“Tonight, your baby sister has made it” boy I tell you that brought a tear to my eye.

You DO NOT have a critical conversation about popular culture or pop music WITHOUT Janet Jackson. She is legendary.

Janet Jackson is a legend, icon, and now a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer! Anyone mad, STAY MAD!!!!!!!

Janet created her own Legacy without using Michael I'm so happy that she made that decision 🥺

It comes as no surprise that Michael Jackson was and still is huge, but the global craze had started in 1980s. To get out of that shadow and be able to make a mark of her own wasn't easy and she did it despite sooo many ups and downs especially in 2004! Janet Jackson is an underrated legend and deserves all the love and honors. She is the real Queen of Pop.

this woman is an example of humbleness, beauty and talent! she comes from a famous family but she’s proved she is more than her last name! She’s achieved it all! She is a superstar, an icon! She miss Jackson if you’re nasty!

“THE JACKSON FAMILY” should be inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame! It’s safe to say we’ll never see this much great music come from one family again. And they should be celebrated and recognized for that.

To be able to become an Icon. Apart from her Brothers especially Michael is an almost impossible feat. Janet has broken boundaries and changed the face of pop music. She doesn’t get celebrated enough, I’m glad she’s getting her flowers. We love you Janet 💕

5:45 “ I never though I was a good dancer “ yeah and I never thought the sky was blue 😭😭 you’re a QUEEN 👑 🤎🤎

She regrets not doing more with Mike, because she didnt want to be in his shadow. Thats fine Scream is enough for me. Love Always

Accepts icon award .... Spends 9 1/2 minutes thanking everyone who has supported her. True icon.

She is adorable...Micheal and Joe would be sooo proud! I love her!!

First, her brother, Michael, received the Rock and roll hall of fame award. Now, his sister got it. He would've been so proud ❤️✨🥺

I forgot how much I loved this woman . . . She is still so damn cute, and so humble, and so down to earth and so grateful for everything. She is so real . . ..

Shes R&B Royalty....Just countless bangers and smooth jams!

Janet’s induction was way overdue.

You know the industry is still full of racism when legend like Janet gets this award 20 years late!

I don't think there is anyone as hardworking as her in the music industry now. She really worked so hard and deserves much more than she gets. Ms. Jackson is a true legend.

My respect has soared for her. Always acknowledge those who've helped you along your journey. Miss Jackson did just that. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Janet embodies so much artistry, good energy, humility and grace. She is and will ALWAYS be a class act. She' right. INDUCT MORE WOMEN, RRHOF.

Some of these artists should learn from her very humble. Thanking everyone who has helped her in her music career.

The Queen of Pop

She really had her own GIANT impact 💜

Love you janet

Janet is the only one who has really stood out in this family, after Michael Jackson, because neither the Jacksons, nor the music nor the dances would be the same, if Michael Jackosn had not existed. The art of music and dance is divided before and after Michael Jackson, and now there are only good ones, but the extraordinary went with Michael Jackson.

I'm 58, I'm a Dj from Italy, always loved her music since 1984, when first I've bought her album Dream Street. Since then I've been playing her records among the years, and the smash hit All For You was just like the cherry on top of the cake. She's one-of-a-kind 💖God bless you Janet.❤🙏

How did one family have so much talent that it totally changed the landscape of music and music- video making is insanity. It was a different era.

Janet is so humble! Every award she's accepted she's stayed so humble! 💙

THE JACKSONS STARTED IT ALL TBH! Especially Michael & Janet! Janet is a true legendary icon and just timeless.

I like how her and Paula Abdul are still cool.

I like how she gave Questlove his props he goes hard for Janet and the whole Jackson family!

This Goddess embodies every perfect quality of the meaning of "Human Being". She has never thought of herself as being above any single person on this planet, and has never put herself first. Janet Jackson has ALWAYS stood for equity, equality, acceptance, unity, empathy, inclusion and global brother- and sister-hood. What a magical lesson she has taught us all - and will continue to teach every new generation. A true chameleon in every positive and awe-inspiring way, Janet has shown us determination, pain, ecstasy, sexuality, angst, loneliness, self-exploration, honesty, dignity, social awareness, joy, loss, high voltage, raunch, philanthropy and spirituality...all through her music, her videos and her continual drive to bring awareness to all of the qualities - both good and bad - that make us all innately Human. No one single other woman singer has ever done this so AUTHENTICALLY, CONSISTENTLY or COMPASSIONATELY. (Let's spare ourselves, for just a moment, from the comparisons with the other major icon who immediately comes to mind...) Janet Jackson brought such an awareness to the planet about social ills and the need to preserve our integrity for the sake of future generations. But, she was also equally as skilled at showing us her sensual side, with the most slick, sexy and explosively erotic expressions that just seemed to come so naturally, that she was able to transition between these and her political persona so effortlessly, without one ever compromising the other. Janet Jackson is THE COMPLETE PACKAGE. The consummate performer. Powerful Black Woman. Earth Mother... Gift of absolute Glory to this world.

I will never forget Keanu at the MTV Movie awards accepting an award from Janet and before starting his speech turned turned to Janet and said “…DAMN!” turned back to the crowd apologised and started his speech 😂😂😂 EV-ERY MAN wanted Janet in her prime THE QUEEN OF POP.

What is crazy is that most Hall of Famers going on living their quiet lives spending their hard earned millions. Janet has continued to make music and go on tour. She just seems unstoppable.

Hard to believe that in 2023 Janet is just three years shy of 60. Time flies.

Well Overdue. But Janet Jackson never gives up and us her fans never give up. Anything us possible through hard work and determination. I am so proud of Janet and her entire career and can't wait to see what's next. I love you and Congratulations!!!!!!!!! #JTRIBE #JANFAM #ROCKANDROLLHALLOFFAME #EMPRESSJANET

I can't believe this woman said about her dancing. OMG, she is as amazing as Micheal at so many levels and also so cute. She is just lovely.

If you ask me they disrespected her by making her wait until 2019 to be inducted but I'm still happy for her though.

Janet Jackson definitely deserves this induction. She's one of my musical idols. I love her music!

Gatekeepers on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Really? Calm down. Ms. Jackson has rock songs, pop songs, R&B songs. She's written and produced. She dances. She creates. She's an icon. The idea that rock music is so narrow is honestly sad.

The Jackson family OWN the rock and roll hof.. -The Jacksons inducted in 1997 (MJ included) -Michael Jackson inducted as a solo artist in 2001 (First ever artist to be inducted twice) -Janet Jackson inducted in 2019 Talk about GOAT's

SO PROUD.....BLACK QUEEN!!!!!

Janet Jackson is a legend icon she is a beautiful young lady with a beautiful voice and Michael would be so proud of you

she is not only multitalented but she is forever YOUNG, look at her, she looks still like a teenager, my goodness gracious.

She's a really strong woman and an incredible artist. Imagine having a music career that spans more than 40 years is a difficult feat to achieve . And the best thing about her is that she's still very much grounded and in touch with her spirituality.

So well deserving she should have been in years ago.

So pretty much the Jackson family are the first family to be inducted into the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame

It's the humility for me

So nobody is going to talk about how she talks like Michael,Smiles like Michael,Humble like Michael,Shy like Michael, and ultimately and obviously,same voice like Michael? It feels so beautiful so see Michael in her, and so hopeful that The king of Pop hasn't gone anywhere,he's still with us, living through them, and in our hearts.

This woman is LITERALLY the reason why I wanted to do music 🙏🏾❤️❤️ We love you Janet, you are the true definition of a legend and trailblazer 🔥🔥🔥💯👌🏾

Watching this video and seeing Brian May in the audience made me think that if the rest of Queen was to do an album with a load of guest vocalists a track with Janet would be something we never thought we needed but would be fire.

OMG the Jackson's are so dammm beautiful look at her skin🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

It's just the basic fact this historical, phenomenal, grounbreaking and achievable woman escaped the clutches of her brother shadows and created a legacy of her own like no other who would have know we would be honored with another successful Jackson? While her brother was dominating the music industry Janet came in full force and kicked down doors and took music to whole another level Janet started from scratch and worked her way to success and now is one of the biggest names in history her legacy already been fulfilled now you see everyone wants to be like her and copying her she's the blueprint a all time great.

Janet Super Bowl 2022!!!

She finally made it! Long overdue respect to her. Congrats JJ

She is absolutely glowing and gorgeous. Such a beautiful woman, inside and out. Her spirit shines through

She is just so beautiful and talented! Just love her 💕

My girl queen Janet

Michael 's spirit is there and looking down on her and his proud of his baby sister now she is in the rock n roll hall fame with her brothers and him

CONGRATULATIONS TO JANET IT'S BEEN MULTIPLE TIME HER INDUCTION WAS REJECTED. QUEEN OF POP MADONNA DID IT IN HER FIRST YEAR. THAT'S THE WAY TALENT GOES.

The pop landscape as it has existed over the last 30 years CANNOT exist as it has without Janet Jackson…..

Ahhhh. Man, I know it’s a commonly said thing, but her voice sounding so similar to her brother is so delightful in a way, if you get me, like it’s Michael living on in her. Michael was and still is a legend. Janet is that legend’s sister. We must protect her from all harm at all costs! 💙

Brother Randy Jackson at 2:44 in the audience. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I love her so much she deserves this so much. That little girl who gave me hope how black girls can rock and little black girls can rock.

I love the Jackson’s gentle speech and creative energy 💜

Do it, girl!!!! Been a Jan, fan FOREVER!!!!! YOU DESERVE IT BABY!!!!!

Seeing Janet face glow is the nicest of hellos!

🙏🌻 "Tonight your baby sister has made it". I was already thinking about King 👑 of Pop myMJ myGOD but these words of Janet Jackson made me cry instantly. - Sunil Bharat 🇮🇳
