The 'Love Sex Magic' singer says her "ultimate goal" is to sing on stage with the 43-year-old star - the sister of pop legend Michael.

She said: "My dream is to collaborate with Janet Jackson. She was my big idol growing up. She is amazing and no matter what, you can't forget what she has contributed to American music.

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

Ciara, 23, worked with Justin Timberlake on her latest single, and insists she learnt a lot from the 'SexyBack' singer.

She explained: "Hooking up with Justin Timberlake taught me all about hypnosis and how to get into people's minds. Now, thanks to JT, I feel like I can almost hypnotise the listener, take you to another place and tease you.

"Working with Justin was such a pleasure. He is so down-to-earth and people don't realise how funny he is. He should have his own comedy show."

Ciara is currently working on her new album 'Fantasy Ride', planning a US tour with Timberlake and preparing for her support slot on the UK leg of Britney Spear's world tour in June.

She added to Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Supporting Britney in the UK this summer will be my biggest challenge yet. I'm looking forward to sharing the stage and rocking out with Brit. And I've got some amazing outfits to rival her own."
