A group of dancers got the surprise of their lives when Janet Jackson walked on stage during their set. The rambunctious unit and Jackson were there to help celebrate the 100th episode of his daytime talk show! Aside from the giving the young man the moment of his life, Janet revealed why she never called her father “dad” and Whitney Houston as a performer.

On Why she never called her father ‘Dad’

I never asked why and I just left it as it is. When our parents tell us something you don’t question it. It is what it is and you just leave it alone because if you don’t, it’s going to go to another level that you don’t want it to go to. So I left it at that but I never asked my other brothers and sisters why they didn’t call him “Dad”. Well, I tried one day to call him “Dad” but he said “My name is Joesph; you call me Joseph. I’m Joseph to you.”

On Whitney Houston as a performer

Incredible.  She was known as ‘The Voice’ and when she would open her mouth and this instrument would come out and you would obviously understand why. She was such a sweet, sweet soul especially back in the late 80s; early 90s is when I connected with Whitney the most. It doesn’t matter if we were doing an award show, we would always take the time out to find one another. Either she would come to my dressing room to say hey and I would be in make-up or I would find her to say hey in her dressing room. We would always find time to talk to one another. She was such a sweet soul.
