We’re still emotional about SheinelleJones meeting her idol JanetJackson today 🥺
Sheinelle Jones dressed as Janet Jackson during TODAY's Halloween celebration in 2019."I love it," Jackson said in response to watching Sheinelle's performance, which showed off her dancing chops and inadvertently became an audition tape to perform with the pop superstar, who goes on tour next year.Sheinelle beamed from ear-to-ear. Her co-anchors vocalized their shock at the invitation."Sheinelle, receive that for a second," co-host Dylan Dreyer encouraged.
"Why you’re so important to me is because if you can see it, you can be it," Sheinelle explained, adding how she saw few Black women on TV growing up and, when she did, they were actors playing characters on shows, such as"The Cosby Show" or its spinoff,"A Different World." But Jackson was on TV as herself, and it inspired her.
"Fierce. Vulnerable. Funky. Beautiful. You could dance — like all the things. You would be shy and then you would get on that stage and you would just slay before they even used that word," Sheinelle said with admiration."You did that for so many of us, before the Beyonces of the world, before all of the folks that we see now," she said.Sheinelle explained that Jackson represents a certain type of Black female excellence that wasn't always commonly seen in pop culture.
