Usher was off key, and 98 was drowned out once Luther came out. Should have left Usher out and just had 98 as backup singers since that's what they ended up being anyway. 😄

[@righteouslioncomedian1069]

Lol. To be fair to them tho, 98 Degrees are very decent singers. They just got hampered in 3 ways: 1) Theyre singing 'Man In The Mirror' like a boyband. It wasnt written to be sung like a boyband. But what else could they do? Theyre a boyband. 2) Usher is a direct artist descendant of MJ so hes automatically gonna be better at the song. And 3) ...Thats Luther fucking Vandross, right there.

[@ForeverWhitney_ForeverMJ]

I'm sorry but pop act 98 degrees should've NEVER been on that stage to begin with. Singing way off key with absolutely NO feeling and NOT one ounce of SOUL just butchering up that beautiful song . MJ was looking very uncomfortable poor thing . They should've reached out to Boyz 2 Men , KC & Jojo , Dru hill , Jagged Edge or 112 Now that would've been a tribute to remember 🙄💀💀

I remember the night this aired. When Luther walked out....my jaw dropped. To me, he’s not the typical person that I would expect to see at a MJ tribute. Usher, sure, Chris Brown...NeYo..yeah...but not Luther. This is how baddass Luther is: 1. He walks out and gets an applause that’s equal to the man being honored. 2. They slow the music down...so he can deliver in full fledge Luther Fashion. 3. He out-sings everybody on the stage I hope...at some point in my musical career...that I earn the right to be respected and applauded that much.
