Catch the iconic Janet Jackson at the 2015 BET Awards!

Sister Act 2  - In Sister Act 2, Lauryn Hill and the choir sing a Janet Jackson-inspired remix of "Joyful, Joyful." The musical snippet is a remixed version of Janet's "What Have You Done for Me Lately," with the choreo down pat. (Photos from left: Afro American Newspapers/Gado/Getty Images, A&M Records)
The Breakdown  - Tinashe decided to break down some of her fav Janet dance moves. And although Janet sets the bar high when dancing is concerned, there are only a few artists out now that can even get close, and we'd have to say Tinashe is one of them. (Photos: Complex; Virgin Records [inset])
MTV Icon  - Janet Jackson was the first to be named an "MTV Icon." Usher, Pink and Mya came to honor Janet for her contributions and influence in the music industry. Janet even took the stage too! (Photos: Frank Micelotta/ImageDirect, FrankMicelotta/ImageDirect, KMazur/WireImage)
