The link above is Janet Jackson's first music video, Dream Street. The video is a young girl's rise to stardom. In the video she is trying to make it in Hollywood. Seeing as she is so young in the video, Jackson is not sexualised in anyway, nor does she sexualise any of her backup dancers.
The picture above is from Jackson's performance on the 2010 finale of American Idol. The backup dancers in this performance are all male and they are being slightly sexualised. They are all shirtless, in tight black pants with black collars on their necks. And they are touching and dancing around Jackson. In comparison to other music performances, the backup dancers here are not being too overly sexualised, but they are still being sexualised.
