If you’re thinking about doing a Michael Jackson tribute anytime soon, make it quick. Word is Janet Jackson’s VMAs tribute to her brother is going to be the end all be all.

According to TMZ.com R&B/pop singer Janet Jackson is so focused on putting together an epic tribute to her brother Michael Jackson at this weekend’s MTV Video Music Awards, she’s put her rehearsals into overdrive.

“Ms. Jackson is set to put on a huge MJ-honoring performance featuring 20 backup dancers — which is being put together by some of the best choreographers in the world, including Frank Gatson and Travis Payne.

According to Kryiss Grant, one of the dancers involved (who was also an usher at MJ’s burial), some rehearsals have lasted 15 hours a day.

Once Janet is finished honoring her brother, Grant tells us “there won’t be a dry eye in the house.”

I guess after witnessing BET’s attempt to honor her brother first hand, Janet figured if you want something done right you have to do it yourself. And it has to air on MTV. Sorry BET.
