Singer Janet Jackson of the United States has stated that she does not see herself as a musical icon. At the 51st annual American Music Awards, which took place on May 26, 2025, at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas in Las Vegas, the singer, who sang “That’s The Way Love Goes,” made this statement when accepting her Icon award.
Michael Jackson, the late “King of Pop,” and Janet herself all came from humble beginnings and never aspired to stardom, Janet said.
She went on to say that music was a big deal in her family and that everyone worked very hard to achieve their level of recognition.
“I don’t think of myself as a symbol. Being famous was never either of my family’s or my aspirations. That is not how we were brought up.
Music, dancing, and singing have always held a particular place in our hearts. The achievement of fame was the product of her perseverance and commitment, she said.
The Jacksons are a famous musical and performing family hailing from Gary, Indiana, USA. There were a lot of famous musicians among the siblings; the Jackson 5 brothers were among the most famous. Michael and Janet Jackson were among those who achieved solo stardom.
