In her first television performance since the Super Bowl, Grammy Award-winning recording artist Janet Jackson will perform on ABC's "Good Morning America" in an outdoor concert from Battery Park in downtown Manhattan, Wednesday, March 31. Prior to her performance, Jackson will also be interviewed by "Good Morning America" anchors Diane Sawyer and Charles Gibson.

Jackson will perform her latest single "Just a Little While" as well as other favorite hits in front of an outdoor audience and the millions of "Good Morning America" viewers watching at home. The concert is free and open to the public. Viewers wanting to be part of the special audience should arrive at Battery Park no later than 6 a.m. on Wednesday, March 31.

Janet Jackson's held it down for a long time in the music game. Not only is she talented and a multi-platinum artist, she's been one of the biggest influences in music video in black music for the last decade. And did we mention her sex appeal? 

As any dancer knows, it's all about placement. It's how you hold your body; the lilt of an arm, an erect neckline. Janet Jackson, a gifted dancer, if nothing else, knows this all too well. In the business for most of her life, her position today is one of pop diva come to reclaim her throne.

Thirty some odd years ago, Janet Damita Jackson was just another pretty brown girl born in the Midwest to a large (literal and figurative) family. Today she remains a Taurus, single, a pop star. So far she's dropped four platinum albums, she can dance her ass off and has starred in two films.These things have remained the same.

Yet between the sassy cherub Penny on Norman Lear's angst ridden "Good Times" through Eddie Murphy's Nutty Professor II: The Klumps, we've bore witness to Janet's life changes: her pain, identity shifts, sexuality, alleged pregnancies, weight fluctuations, marriages and divorces (two apiece) and profound successes. As one of the most successful female recording artists of all time, Janet's $20 million-dollar-an-album paycheck is second only to Mariah Carey's.

And her videos, from the groundbreaking "Pleasure Principle" to the tight choreography of "Miss You Much" to doing futuristic funk with her most famous brother on "Scream" have made her one of the most influential artists in visual music history.

What is believable, however, is Janet's ability to take a catchy chorus over a danceable beat and work that s--it to pop heaven. And as sweet-sounding as she is, there's obviously in Miss Jackson a hard and driven focus held up by spine of steel. Otherwise she wouldn't have made it as far as she has or lasted as long. She knows how to play her position. And she plays it well.
