[@jonathanvijongarth]

MJ and James Brown on stage together performing impromptu, MJ honoring James Brown... this simply will never be topped on any music award show anywhere or at anytime. This is the biggest moment I have seen on any music award show, hands down! I so miss artists like this who performed from their soul.

[@adriennerobinson1180]

TRUTH INDEED AMEN 🙏

[@KaylaTheKindOne]

"Nobody has influenced me more than this man right here." Almost burst out crying omg...Janet's speech about Michael didn't help 😭 Sometimes I hate that I'm so young, I never got to witness these important moments while they were happening in real time

[@sandracollins1298]

David Asamoah lmaoo

[@aGwEENapple]

Chris cried because the year before Michael passed he wasn't allowed to perform. And that sucked because Michael Jackson was his biggest inspiration! It had to have felt so good to let go and give it his all! He loved Michael 😢

[@domdom2215]

aGwEENapple right because I definitely remember being sad that he wasn't able to tribute him in 2009 so he finally got his chance the next yr and he had me in tears

[@ecliptik8020]

[@itznubian8117]

[@hassantalib3426]

De Angelo's song.... how does it feel....has a lot of PRINCE in it

[@aqueenstandsalone3954]

Hassan Talib D’Angelo studied Prince. He is an exceptional song writer.
