Janet Jackson (winner of nine VMAs) will open this Sunday’s 2009 MTV Video Awards with a musical tribute to her late brother Michael to help honor his career.Â
According to MTV ” This is not something that just came together – we’ve been in talks with [Janet] for a while. We felt there was no one better than Janet to anchor it and send a really powerful message,” MTV general manager Stephen Friedman told the News.
“She’s working with well-known choreographers who’ve all worked with Michael, as well as the dancers who were going to be on Michael’s tour,” added Friedman. “In a sense, she’s carrying on her brother’s legacy.”
The Awards will also feature the official trailer from Michael Jackson’s “This Is It” film, with behind-the-scenes clips of the performer prepping for the tour.Â
