Janet Jackson to Pay Tribute to Michael at the MTV VMA’S

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. 

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.
