Giving a boost to an anticipated London show, Janet Jackson and Alexandra Burke are now confirmed as performers for Capital FM's Jingle Ball !

Set to take place Sunday, December 6,  this year's Jingle Ball will feature Janet Jackson's first major stage show in the UK in some time.

Likely to perform her new single "Make Me," taken from the soon-to-be released hits collection "Number Ones," Jackson is joined by reigning 'X Factor' winner Alexandra Burke.

Fresh off the release of her debut album this week, Burke will take the stage to perform songs from the album, including the #1 UK singles charting "Bad Boys" -- and yes, Flo Rida will be in the building to make the performance complete.

Jackson and Burke join a previously announced line up that includes JLS, Ne-Yo, Shakira and Dizzee Rascal.

    No, the first show sold out; so then they added a second show; and announced the five major artist as the ticket were on sale; and after that announcement the show sold out in less than an hour. Yes Janet Jackson had alot to do with these tickets saling cause people that were not gonna go heard about her and ran out to purchase tickets so Black_Magyc says, the laugh is on you cause Janet Jackson sold these tickets baby!!!

    Zak, I am sorry to say this, but you sound about 4 years old. How can you compare someone who has had two hits on the back of a reality show, to someone who has been performing for over 30 years, has sold over 100 million records, won numerous awards (including an Academy Award nomination) and is one of the most successful female recording artists of all time? I think Alex is a great talent (my brother was one of her dancers on X Factor) and I think she very much deserved to win, but come on now. I am saying this with complete respect, just making a few points.
    Peace ;)

    Either way the show looks like it will be great!!! Regardless of who's name that pushed them. Have fun guys!!! for those of you who will be in the house, I have to say I 've seen Janet 2x's in my life and both shows were very exciting and of course who doesn't love Neo? Have fun guys from Brooklyn, NY
