Adrienne RaquelAs Justine Skye looks back at 2018, she’ll never forget that one time she performed a tribute to one of her idols, Janet Jackson.
In August, when Jackson received the BMI Icon award in Atlanta, Skye sang Janet’s 1987 #1 hit, “Let’s Wait Awhile.” She recalls how shocked she was that Janet was actually in the audience watching her.
“When I got on that stage, and I looked into the crowd, she was sitting smack dead right in the middle staring at me smiling, and I was like, ‘Oh my God. This is so insane,’” she tells ABC Radio.
“She thanked me,” Skye adds.
