Janet Jackson performed a bit of a medley on tonight’s X Factor results show.

Janet has been topping charts since signing her first record deal in 1982. She has sold more than 100 million records worldwide and is the only artist in US chart history to boast seven top 5 hits from a single album. She has accumulated five Grammys so far, as well as multiple MTV Awards, Billboard Music Awards, and Soul Train Music Awards.

Tonight Janet did what she’s best at – big group dancing efforts as she (seemingly) mimed her way through some of her biggest solo hits. We thought that Jan was going to do a bit of an Michael tribute and are surprisingly glad that she sang her own material instead. She really is one talented lady and just like Lady GaGa, she put those X Factor semi-finalists to shame.

After her performance, Janet strutted off the stage, missing an opportunity to offer cliched advice to the contestants about how to ‘believe in talent’ and ‘just be yourself’. Good move Jan!
