After Janet Jackson's amazing tribute to her late brother Michael at the MTV Video Music Awards, and Madonna's fabulous introduction, is a collaboration in the works? The Daily Mirror via AllAboutMadonna says "yes."
We can reveal that the Queen of Pop had a secret dinner with Janet Jackson on Sunday evening. Over dinner at Butter in New York, the pair were overheard discussing how to honor Michael by “doing something together”. Earlier Janet, 43, and Madonna, 51, had been hanging out together at the MTV VMAs, where they were seen hugging one another. Our insider reveals: “It was a meeting of two great musical try minds. Madonna was so impressed with Janet’s tribute to Michael that they started talking about how great it would be to honour him by doing something together.
Janet fans and Madonna fans rejoice. Oh, I am sooo there.
Thanks @Kakadre
If this is true, they've come a loooooong way, cuz they were beefin' in the early 90's...

Well of course they had diva beef back in the day! That was why the VMAs were so special, cuz Madonna introduced Janet. I would looooove to see this happen!

So now Madonna is the "Queen of Pop?" I must have missed that memo.

@ Soulbrotha:
Really. But you do try so hard, bless your heart.
Should Rod have posted a spoiler alert to the VMA link, Soulbrotha? Really
Oh and once again, is there anything about the story that you comment on? Or just these distractions? SMH

That would be cool. I know they used to be feuding way back when like the above poster said. I LOVE them both, so this would be hot.

That would be an interesting pairing indeed, Rod!

As a true, ride or die fan, on every single record they've recorded & admire them as artists fan, if this is true, I simply orgasm and just die. I would be there. I've seen them both live, Janet last fall in '08, and Madonna back in summer of '06, they both deliver. This could be the sign of a higher power trying to bring peace to Earth, lol. Work it out ladies!-QH

Lol, so excited I can barely type.
I meant to say: As a true, "ride or die, own every single record they've recorded, admire them as artists" fan, if this is true, I'll simply orgasm and just die. I would be there.

Amazing if true.

Let's not "divabate", please.
I would love to see these two get together and make some incredible music and put on an incredible show! As Mecha said...these are two incredible gay, pop and music icons. I want this to happen!

Wait, wait, wait a minute. DO YOU GUYS KNOW THAT EVERY GAY MAN IN THE WORLD WILL BE AT A PERFORMANCE, WATCHING THE TV PROGRAM, BUYING THE CD, OR EVEN WATCHING THE MOVIE, OF THESE TWO "DIVAS OF GAY MEN EVERYWHERE" WORKED TOGETHER IN WHATEVER CAPACITY! Oh my God! I can't even imagine it.

WOW!!! That will be awesome!!!!.... two great entertainers ... TOGETHER!! Still, though, there are never any guarantees if the product will be hot!!!
I still think of nightmares listening to Whitney and Mariah's When You Believe. I realize some of you may love it but the song didn't leave much of an impression on me personally and on the charts as well. (even though it was top ten hit... it was just... uhm okay)
Posted by: GQ | 18 September 2009 at 02:32
I love both Janet and Madonna and think this would be awesome! And I am feeling the love in these comments for these two great women. Thank you Rod 2.0 family, not one comment putting either one down!
In 2010: Madonna/Janet and Janet/Madonna!
