This performance still gives me chills all these years later
and if you watch real close you can see Prince giving Mike a standing ovation...
he didn't look to happy... this was the same night that U2 won over Sign o the times for record or album of the year..

Why is the beginning cut off with TWYMMF, must be youtubes new 10min limit. Only thing I don't like about this performance is that he tells the people to stand up.
Not that others artists haven't done the same thing. Just like Motown 25, My family sat around the Tv and watched, that's when award shows were worth watching.

I don't think he meant stand up as in telling the audience to stand up... i always thought he meant stand up and make a change as in preachin to the audience

another good one of course

Honestly, youtube is one of the best things on the net. Too bad I can't post Prince's Head performance from the parade tour. I couldn't link to it anyway,

It was fine until he grabbed his crotch at the end. I mean, really. Did Sammy REALLY want to see that?

Good god. This peformance is lipsynced! He's not really even doing anything. Why couldn't he sing it live? What a weirdo.

Bull , not lypsynched at all !

good job

Dewrede said:

The Man in the Mirror One is! Can you not hear that the vocals are EXACTLY from the album. Every note. Not the backing vocals, though.

CuntOMatic said:

A large part of that performance is back tracked, which is dumb because he sounds just as fine without it, at least when he is singing into the mic.

lilgish said:

His LIVE vocal isn't even a part of the performance. It's not even a "backing" vocal. It's the lead that's all tape.

yes , you appear to be right
however at 5.00 and after it 's live

thought you were talking about the Sammy Davis tribute earlier

CuntOMatic said:

well the part of the performance i like isn't

Is that the one from Moonwalker?

Mostly a lip sync'd average performance.

SquirrelMeat said:

MJ performances were at their best with his brothers; I mean how many times do you see him grabbing his crotch unneccessarily when he is with the J5...

whatsgoingon said:

He was 11. There wasn't much a crotch to grab.

While we are on the topic of great Michael Jackson performances, check this one out: http://www.youtube.com/wa...8zr7lB2ghI (there's a lot of bullshit at the start, he doesn't get into the song until a fair way in)

Diana Ross may beg to differ on that one....
