Jackson also spoke of her faith: "This is also a moment when our public discourse is loud and harsh. My prayers that worry of such noise, we turn back to the source of all calmness—that source, that source is God."
Artists who receive Billboard's Icon Award also perform at the ceremony, and boy, aren't we glad she did. The singer made the speech shortly after performing a medley of her dance-pop hits "Nasty," "If" and "Throb," ending a nine-year hiatus on televised performances.
