The Iconic Inspiration: Janet Jackson  - From style to music to acting and much more, Janet has shown many times over that she is a jack of all trades. There comes a time in life where the people who have come after must pay their respect to those who have paved the way, and BET.com would like to honor Janet Jackson. (Photo: A&M Records)
'Pretty Girl Rock'  - Keri Hilson's "Pretty Girl Rock" music video pays homage to several artists, such as TLC, Diana Ross, Josephine Baker and, of course Miss Janet! Keri, baby, we love how you channeled Janet's "Rhythm Nation." From the ensemble to the moves, she's was spot on! (Photo: Mosley / Zone 4 / Interscope)
'I'm Out'  - If you love Michael and Janet's "Scream" video, then you'll fall in love with Ciara and Nicki Minaj's "I'm Out" video. From the futuristic-themed set to the gestures to the all-white outfits, it's very similar.(Photo: Epic Records)An Escapade - Kat Graham's video and song "Love Will Never Do Without An Escapade" is a mash up of Janet's "Love Will Never Do Without You" and "Escapade." Kat often states that her music and moves are heavily derived from Janet's music and choreography.  (Photo: Talkboy TV Productions)
