Ciara Dreams Of Janet Jackson Collaboration

Singing sensation Ciara has said that her dream is to collaborate with her idol, Janet Jackson.

The R&B star says that she grew up listening to both Janet and Michael Jackson, and added that her "ultimate goal" is to go and see Michael perform during his London residency this Summer.

"MY dream is to collaborate with Janet Jackson. She was my big idol growing up," she tells the Daily Star. "JJ is amazing and no matter what, you can't forget what she has contributed to American music."

"Janet, 42, is truly an icon. She was the only person I listened to as a kid, along with her big bro Michael, 50."

"My ultimate goal is to check him out when he plays London this summer. I don't have a ticket yet but I'm keeping my fingers crossed someone can help me."

Ciara releases her new album 'Fantasy Ride' on May 4 (UK) / May 5 (US).
