Daily News reports that Janet Jackson is set to perform a tribute at the MTV Video Music Awards (“VMA”) for her brother Michael Jackson, who passed away June 25, 2009.  The VMAs have always featured ground-breaking acts, or performers who want to make a statement, whether it’s a tribute (remember Sean Combs’ tribute to the Notorious B.I.G.), or a comeback (remember Britney Spears), the VMAs are sure to attract a large audience.

The tribute precedes the controversial, yet star-studded, tribute for Michael Jackson, which is set to occur in Vienna, Austria.
