Jackson desperate to work with family fan Ne-Yo

R&B superstar Janet Jackson was desperate to work with industry newcomer Ne-Yo on her new LP - because she could tell from his work that he was a huge fan of the Jackson family.

The 41-year-old singer fell in love with the singer's music and asked him to pen a track for her upcoming album 'Discipline', because she can hear the Jackson clan's trademark style in his songs.
