• Like her brother, Michael, Janet Jackson's music videos feature big-budget sets, elaborate choreography and innovative design. As indicated by Rolling Stone in their biography of Janet, her music seemed more about the performance and dance than the singing itself, which is probably why her most popular singles are also her most memorable videos.

  Through her upbeat pursuit for independence in the 1980s to her more sexual and dramatic music in the 1990s-2000s, Janet has won several MTV Video Music Awards for her videos. She continues to make them, sticking to the dance-heavy visuals that helped make her popular in the first place.
