Madonna To Duet With Janet Jackson
Madonna is to duet with Janet Jackson. The two singers are working on a tribute to Janet's late brother Michael Jackson after bonding over dinner after Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs), which saw the 'Together Again' star perform 'Scream', a track originally recorded with her sibling, and Madonna make a tearful speech about her regret at "abandoning" the pop icon before his death.
"It was a meeting of two great musical minds. Madonna was so impressed with Janet's tribute to Michael that they started talking about how great it would be to honor him by doing something together.
"With that one performance Janet proved she's back on top of her game. And who better to join forces with than Madonna? There was definitely something very interesting being planned between them."
Speaking at the awards ceremony, which was held in New York, Madonna admitted she was only attending the bash to pay her respects to Michael.
She told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper:
"Now I've finally had chance to say farewell to my dear friend. I can now say I have paid my respects to Michael. That's why I'm here. To say goodbye. And Janet's performance was amazing - just the perfect tribute to her brother."
Madonna's manager Guy Oseary recently revealed that the '4 Minutes' singer had hoped to join Michael on stage during his 'This Is It' London residency.
He wrote on Twitter:
"A month ago, Madonna told me she wanted to do a surprise performance at one of Michael Jackson's UK shows."
Would you be excited to see Madonna and Janet Jackson working together?
I would love to see them fight for the stage of being crowded "DIVA of the B1tches on stage LIVE". Madonna sharing the stage with another Queen of music, DDDDDDDRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAMA, she screamed!
they're both past fifty.

Madonna is but Janet is not. Michael was 50 and Janet is the baby of the family. Not too far off, but she's not quite there yet...lol. This is the best Madonna has looked in a while. Usually she looks all wrinkley and over done.

Madonna's speech about Michael on the VMA's was completely narcissistic and she sounded like a fembot. If Janet is smart, she'll stay away from this beast.

I agree, it feels like -milking the cow much?
Ebnoy and Ivory part 2 anyone LOL i would love this two to do something it would be epic for the Gay boys everywhere.
I would love to see Madonna and Janet get together. They're both fantastic female entertainers and I think they'd make a good team, if no one tried to out-diva the other one.

I think Madonna looks amazing in these pictures. She doesn't look her age but you're not cringing when you look at these pictures, thinking GET A GRIP WOMAN, YOU'RE NOT 20 anymore!
"She's a genius, she can do no wrong." - that's what Lenny Kravitz said on her and I'm sure not only him of the same opnion. Here I've tried to collect all notable tributes paid to Madonna by peers:
