Between 1980 and 1989, the musician sold 110 million records worldwide and was recognized as the best-selling artist of the decade.❤

3:49 This is my all-time favorite moment. I love how he said "The New Songs"; It's like he's telling the world, "From Now On, I Will Rule The World." THE KING 🙌🏾👑🤴🏽💫

[@tylergoodman3560]

The Motown 25 anniversary turned MJ to a superstar to the greatest icon alive. 🎉

My memories of the 80s and Michael's music his videos the pandemonium! Those memories will always be cherished forever! I was sad because I never got to see him live in concerts but it's okay! That's what video footage is for! It's not the same thing as being there at a concert! No way! He was uniquely talented and sweet! I was very attracted to his sweet voice and his sexy smile! He was The King of Pop to me because no other artist will ever do the amazing success in music the way Michael did it!! Noone!! Ever!🎵🎤🎵🎤🎶🎤😍❤️

[@lencijescobar]

The best performance that Michael ever did and he will always be a legend ❤️💖 Rest In Peace 😇MJ😇

I recall this vividly; my mother, a HUGE James Brown fan who didn't really give any other music act the props she gave to Brown, exclaimed, "They're [Jackson 5 with Randy] good!" The next day in high school, everyone was excited about Michael Jackson's performance; I always liked Jackson from his variety show ("The Jacksons"), but this performance, along with the three videos from the "Thriller" album, and the "Thriller" album itself, cemented Jackson as my favorite singer BY FAR. Marvelous memories!

Everyone did the moonwalk the next day - whoever did it best had the girls. Love you, MJ!

Iconic performance

[@adielbenjudah1360]

It's 2024 and I'm still waiting for someone, anyone, on the level of MJ. I honestly think it will never happen. Michael didn't break the internet, he broke the planet open. We all witness the perfection of the art.

[@AlbeenPReji]

[@nelumsooriampola]

The greatest moment in the history of music and cemented the status of king of pop for Michael Jackson ❤🙏🤟👑🦋🌻

[@talia.pilates]

His look when he said "The new songs" 👑 That beat penetrates the soul and shakes it❤️‍🔥🦋✨️

[@ТДАрониядвери]

The level of talent is God! I am a HUGE fan of the Thriller album, I listen to it almost every day.

[@OurKindofEntertainment]

I hate when people were saying that Beyonce's Homecoming performance was better than MJ's Motown 25 performance. BOTH artists were amazing with their respective performances. However, MJ just had himself, a fedora and a mic while Beyonce had a whole band, dancers, theatrics, etc. MJ had to sell his performance with the only things that could be considered 'glitz and glamour' being his glove, jacket, shirt and socks! On top of that, people underestimate the humongous global impact of this performance. For probably the first time ever, you had non-blacks idolizing a black performer! People of all races, genders, etc. wanted to dress like MJ, move like MJ, sing like MJ...they'll never be another one like him!

[@camaradiop3731]

They need to get off of that male bovine fecal matter; Beyonce will NEVER come close to the force that was called Michael Jackson.

[@amlsuleman2075]

I read somewhere that Marvin Gaye was mad at Michael Jackson for overshadowing the other artists that night with his performance. Haters gonna hate I guess...
