Janet Jackson had one of the highest grossing nights ever with Essence Fest performance

Janet Jackson had all-time high grossing night at Essence Fest

Janet Jackson has spent her entire career making history. As a member of the iconic Jackson family, Janet Jackson is the youngest sister of The Jackson 5. However, Janet did not rely on her family name. Instead, Janet Jackson got her big break when she joined “Good Times,” during the later seasons.

Janet Jackson would go onto become the most famous member of the Jackson family not named Michael. As Janet Jackson adjusted to fame, she had her brother, Michael, to guide her. Again, Janet never relied on the family name to aid her career. Only once did Janet and Michael Jackson ever collaborate. In 1995, they did “Scream,” and Janet was more popular than Michael during that era.

Janet Jackson is a true force in the game, but people tend to forget this. While Janet Jackson has struggled with the sales of her last album, she remains an icon. Essence booked Janet Jackson as their headliner for Essence Fest. When Janet Jackson began rolling those classics out, she had everyone out of their seats. With Essence Fest now over, Janet Jackson had one of the highest grossing events in the 27 year history of the festival.
