That was so powerful! It wasn't just seeing the dream realized which was beyond amazing. It wasn't just the story that was powerful. It wasn't getting to see Janet graciously accept another story of how she has influenced people's lives. It was the after-story that really got me. It was hearing Sheinelle talk about not letting the moment pass her by and finding the courage to stand up on national television in a very raw and vulnerable way to say what she wanted/needed to say to her idol That was true courage and it inspired me. How often do we regret the missed opportunities that aren't even as monumental as that?

Sheinelle said it all before it was a Beyonce and all we saw Janet and wanted to be like her. Love this♥️♥️

That's how much Ms Janet means to so many people. Before the other pop girls appeared. Tearful moment 😭😭😭😭😭

Met her in 1992 when her and her manager came to play (she just rode along) golf at the course I worked for in Newport Beach. One of the most chill, kind and genuine people I've ever met. Also, to this day she is the hottest woman I've ever met in my life. Nobody else even comes close. Not by an inch. She was so gorgeous that if I'd been a little star struck the only way to talk with her is after finding out she was just a normal person and treated you like you were almost a friend.

Shenielle is truly pure-hearted, and I am so glad she shared her appreciation for Janet. Beautiful and heartwarming to watch. As a Janet fan for similar reasons, this made my heart full.

I saw and loved Sheinelle's Halloween Janet Jackson performance (and loved it), so when I saw she was present for Janet's appearance I was hoping Sheinelle's love and performance would be brought up. I am super happy she had that moment as I'm sure it meant a lot for both of them. Sheinelle!!!

That’s what’s up. Not just colleagues but true friends. They knew of her deep admiration for Janet and when the time came, they spoke about it so Janet would know.
It’s absolutely beautiful when you have people around you like that that really care about you, not just for what they can do.

[ssmith]

I love Sheinelle she's so real and absolutely gorgeous!

This is amazing. I ❤ Janet can’t wait to see her in Minneapolis in May. I’m going to be so happy it’s part of my birthday gift to go and see her in concert. Thank you Janet for being amazing and sharing yourself with us for so many years.
