Janet Damita Jo Jackson (born May 16, 1966) is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and dancer. She is noted for her innovative, socially conscious and sexually provocative records, as well as elaborate stage shows. Her sound and choreography became a catalyst in the growth of MTV, enabling her to rise to prominence while breaking gender and racial barriers in the process. Lyrical content that focused on social issues and lived experiences set her reputation as a role model for youth.
The tenth and youngest child of the Jackson family, Jackson starred in multiple television shows throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, including Good Times, Diff'rent Strokes and Fame. She signed a recording contract with A&M Records in 1982 and became a pop icon following the releases of the albums Control (1986) and Rhythm Nation 1814 (1989). [...]
Jackson has sold over 100 million records, making her one of the world's best-selling music artists. She holds the record for the most consecutive top-ten entries on the US Billboard Hot 100 by a female artist (18) and remains the only artist in the history of the chart to have seven singles from one album (Rhythm Nation 1814) peak within the top five positions. In 2008, Billboard placed her number seven on its list of the Hot 100 All-Time Top Artists, and in 2010 ranked her fifth among the "Top 50 R&B/Hip-Hop Artists of the Past 25 Years". [...] Her accolades include five Grammy Awards, eleven Billboard Music Awards, eleven American Music Awards, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and eight Guinness World Records entries. In 2019, she was inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Speaking of sexually provocative records, herer are some lyrics from her aptly named song Discipline:
I need some discipline tonight
Don't hold back
I've been very bad
Make me cry
Oh Make me cry
I misbehaved
And my punishment should fit my crime
Quite kinky and nothing you would sing if you could not relate to it at all.
She was asked about that by the German Glamour magazine "In" in Issue No. 8 / 2008:
In: In the title song "Discipline" you even sing about sexual submission and beg to be punished. Is that also your private lifestyle?
Janet Jackson: I don't have a certain lifestyle, I don't want to be reduced to one. I am sexually very open-minded and enjoy many ways of erotic play. Trusting your partner unconditionally and surrendering yourself completely - that's definitely a part of it.
She also wielded a whip on stage in 2008...

Pop star Janet Jackon, 54, has put an interesting variety of items from her personal collection up for auction in an attempt to raise money for a children's charity.
