[@Maegymini1317]

YES indeed. ❤❤

[@Thechasschang]

I love how James Brown acknowledged Michael's own craftsmanship and creativity. That's real love and realization right there, I really cannot believe they are both not here with us (plus Prince). All 3 deaths was so sudden & very unfortunate. But, legends live forever & their music will forever be remembered.

[@zakiyareignshinellc4299]

They didn't get a chance to because he died too young. As you can see they had to pay their respects by honoring Michael's predecessors first.

[@brendagarrett4816]

Those few minutes was worth more than gold, two of the greatest icons in the music industry, Godfather of Soul, Mr. James Brown and the KINg of Pop, Mr. Michael Jackson. So much electrifying energy on that stage.

[@hellokitty1494]

Just the pride and respect for one another is clear and moving. In awe of these two for their contributions!

[@sketchley80]

This was great fun to watch - may they both be dancing and singing together! It was sweet when James Brown said that everyone knew that he influenced MJ but that MJ went on to create more...wonderful entertainers...they will be missed!

[@Exodia64]

I can only imagine how Michael and James must be turning heaven into one big dance party. GET ON UP!!! WOOOO!!!

[@shayanagriffin]

Idc if MJ died, he should've been received a Lifetime Achievement Award. MJ was been putting in work from the age of eight up until his death. His work ethic and humanitarianism qualifies him...

[@GutzOverFear]

Shay Despite all the snubs from the Grammys over the years I think they gave him a lifetime achievement at some point. I can't remember when.

[@rzafra1213]

he did and after he died he got a MOBO posthumous lifetime achievement award

[@shayanagriffin]

I don't remember BET giving him one. I read somewhere that they did try to give him one but MJ felt James Brown was more deserving of it. I remember the Grammys giving him one after he died...

I still think its messed up BET never gave MJ his own Tribute when he was alive. The roof would have have been torned off if he performed.

[@kimberlywhitehead22]

D jone 1995 he got a hall of fame award

[@r.o1449]

I think if Mj was alive when he would’ve turned 55 they would’ve gave him a tribute. 50 years in the music scene. Fuck Conrad and everyone who’s involved in his murder

[@Seriousthing13]

They sure didn't they gave Whitney and Prince one while they were still here. They had 2001-2008 to give Michael a tribute while he was still here

[@therealthatonegamer]

b jor the very first bet awards 2001 Steve Harvey and Cedric hosted and Whitney got her tribute the infamous “you betta lay low”

[@a.d8509]

@@Seriousthing13 Michael Jackson was in deep legal shit after 2001 and even after he was vindicated he became a recluse and made it known he wants nothing to do with music anymore . Which is why it was such a big suprise for fans when he announced this is it. Ofocurse it was only to pay his 300 million dollar debt

[@linnycrocus6023]
