You missed Prince standing and clapping for Michael in the audience. Rare to see him show love for MJ so openly, especially in the 80's when they were known as "rivals". Nice to see. RIP to both. ❤

@@kg7507 i believe they were friends. prince cried for days when michael passed away. he defended michael about the allegations. prince and michael has met plenty of times on their own terms

[@kg7507]

@@chileee133 So did Madonna and Michael didn't like her. He wasn't really friends with her either. He asked Prince to work with him plenty of times and Prince never did. I mean, Prince was a pretty competitive guy and a little rough around the edges to be around which are probably the reasons it never happened. He took shots at Michael like saying "I never had my nose done thats the other guy" in a song but he still did have sympathy for him and definitely respected him as an artist. I just wouldn't consider Prince a real friend of his like Liz Taylor was. Or Diana Ross. I think Prince might've really regretted never working with him at the end.

[@chileee133]

@@kg7507 definitely, i don’t consider prince one of his main friends. but prince was most definitely his friend in the 2000s and 90s

They snubbed him so bad that night, this performance was basically his way of reminding them who they were dealing with 🙌🏽🙌🏽👑🔥 2:04 That is Tatiana, this was before the incident 😂

[@chuckles1972]

As I tell everyone he was not snubbed that night.The cut off for the Grammy awards is August 31 of the following year so August 31 of 1987 his album Bad was released in September he had one song out before that date which was ( I can't stop loving you)which was a duet. Bad, The way you make me feel and Man in the mirror weren't till later in the year so he did not qualify. Man in the Mirror was band new at this time.

"That man, that maynah! That man, that maynah" Mike got happy up on that stage. Aint nothing wrong with letting God come through you. Old Andre Crouch was there backing him up too. God rest both of their beautiful souls. Very good reaction!

[@BohemianBerean]

The man that assists MJ back on his feet is famed gospel musician and composer Andrae Crouch, who’s choir is in the background.

[@katg7965]

On Keep the Faith too. I love the nod to James Brown, where he 'checks'that Michael is ok lol.

A lot of MJ's foot work comes from his tap dance skills which a lot of people don't know about. He could tap dance. If you watch variety shows he did it when he was young you'll see it!

[@Kim-ss5bb]

To see him go from this to how he was treated before he died broke my heart and still does, There are programs about how he pretended to be a good man it gets me angry just let the man rest, Even in death they won't leave him alone

[@wendyfagundez4689]

Siedah Garrett wrote ‘Man in the mirror’ and Michael put his talents to make it alive. This is my favourite live version of this song from him. By the way Siedah was his back vocal singer through out his tours , she replaced Sheryl Crow . Just a personal opinion was the best change he made.

[@aishanicole3447]

She wrote Man in the Mirror inspired by him, so essentially the song is talking about Michael. That was always his Motto “ If you wanna make the world a better place you have to take a look at yourself and make a change” She was really close to him obviously, they worked together and everything, they were really good friends. She turned his motto into a song.

[@sugarbaby547]

I believe she also sang Don't Look any further with Dennis Edwards of the Temptations....

I think I remember an interview with the background singer who went to check on Mike saying that he did so because he really thought he hurt himself. He said he was spinning and falling to his knees so hard that the BG singers could hear it over the performance and audience. He was scared Mike had busted his knee getting caught up in the performance, which he’d done before

His legacy is just unmatched. Literally the greatest of all time ❤️

[@dancingwheels8494]

Despite such an amazing performance, he was basically shut out of the awards. In the audience, you could see him looking devastated, on the verge of tears. He wasn’t used to losing, and didn’t know how after being raised to win. It was so embarrassing that after his record breaking Grammy wins. I think it was done on purpose to punish him. The Grammys in 84 literally turned into the Michael Jackson awards. Like seriously, Michael was even hAving his family come up. AND, also I’m sure they didn’t want this black mAn to keep ascending. So yeah, he was robbed. But I think it humbled him and made him work even harder b
