Stevie Wonder and John Legend perform "The Way You Make Me Feel" at the 25th Anniversary Concert

Stating The Obvious Here, But I DON'T Care: That wasn't just Wonder's label mate. That wasn't just his colleague. That wasn't even just his friend. That was his FAMILY. Of course Wonder's going to mourn Jackson. The bond these two shared...

[@jacocharzukanamericanautho2422]

I know man, I see don’t know why John legend was here. He isn’t a real musician. I mean he literally copied his name off of John Lennon who is a far superior singer.

[@DinaraTengri]

Stevie and Michael were friends ever sinse the Motown era. They had so much history together.

[@rosss1959]

Yes they did. And you can tell how much Stevie was effected by Michael's passing.

[@benjovi356]

My mom saw something that said Stevie co-wrote this song with Michael...they knew it would be a hit...so this song is special for them both.

[@levanabrzeni]

Their histoy equals to American and world history of late Twentiesh century, I would say

[@linasmith9834]

Stevie crying over Michael is just the most heartbreaking thing you could see.MJ is forever missed & loved.The greatest ever.

[@sophoniempela1224]

Why did he stop singing and cried 😢 he's gonna make the crowd upset and worried.

[@matiaspereyra9375]

Maybe was just statlling because thats one of the hardest MJ songs to sing

[@AndrewDavis-vu6hb]

At least Stevie didn't have to see it 😅

[@XRTISTMusic]

They’re cousins. Literally blood cousins.

[@Dripdrip12]

IKR!! Made me emotional 🥹

[@cammy85]

He didn't forget actually. This was the first time he sang this in tribute to Michael Jackson and he started to cry mid-song and had to regain his composure so he could finish the song. It was a very difficult thing to do and he should be applauded, not laughed at.

[@jraybay]

Jeez :/

[@rkoistheman]

Guess it’s those glasses not being able to see his eyes made it harder

[@kellykade]

Yeah it’s kind of obvious but thank you

[@adrianarencibia7780]

Actually I watch the concert and they're not laughing. And also I would believe and assume I'm not saying this is correct I'm just making a educated guess anyway Stevie Wonder cries because his friend Michael Jackson died and also loses his first tribute supposedly what people say this is his first tribute to Michael Jackson. Stevie misses him so he's crying.

[@asmahamidullah9571]

He was not laughed at! We cried with him. 🤲🏽😭❤

[@Roots-n7y]

He broke down and recovered right before our eyes . Stevie the Great! Truly is wonderful

[@Sami-alamoudi]

Steve Wonder is an example of a true friend, a man whose tears flow, which is rare these days 😢

[@Plkluv]

Mj was his cousin

[@Vundablog]

If this doesn't make you cry, you have no soul...

[@IkesDaddelbox]

Well, doesn't make me cry, but it sent shivers down my spine. You can see that he has very deep feelings while singing this song. And Michael's death was just too much to take for the man, like losing a brother. Jacko was always part of my childhood, he will always be one of my all time favorites.

[@SushiSpringer]

+IkesDaddelbox please don't call him jacko

[@bentfalasteen1243]

Please do not call him Jacko because he was very hurt of this Nickname , out of respect to his fans please do not do it again

[@juliobello4561]

Probably that person is dead 💀 lol

[@brianaugello3724]

derFisch Thats all they call him in Europe. I've been there many times Wacko Jacko

[@onwun4292]

2:55 He could hit that high "feeel hih" if he wasn't crying Stevie can never see Michael's magical dance but he enjoys so much Michael's music.

[@Imadeyoumad288]

He managed to hit every other note something Michael never did live since he prioritized dancing over everything. Stevie vocals are a gift

[@ArthurMrgan]

He actually did hit it if you heard it

[@betsareoff]

Stevie truly loved MJ. We all miss MJ.

[@elisageorge2261]

Yeah he loved Michael.. He's related to the Jacksons..

[@lebronjordan3]

Playing a piano with no vision is already a great skill. And he gets emotional as he play Michael's song. Salute to Sir Stevie Wonder.

[@sajeelanjum42]

You could hear his voice breaking as soon as he started singing. This must of been so hard for him, mad respect for a legend

[@205breed]

Poor Stevie, he was trying to hold it, I remember when Usher did Gone Too Soon at the Memorial I was crying like a baby, when MJ died a big piece of my childhood died all I remembered growing up was MJ, James Brown, Stevie Wonder and The Winans because my parents played their music all the time.

[@aueret]

same here man (berlin/germany) .. good ol times

[@emmanuelseequeh6054]

Guys let’s protect Steve wonder,Janet Jackson,Lionel Richie,Gladys Knight,Toni Braxton and the old singers..They are few now we can’t loose them😞

[@jacocharzukanamericanautho2422]

Yeah man this would have been a better performance without that ass hole John Legend and just Stevie doing his thing. I mean they definitely should have had Jeff Beck again because that guy definitely would have fit the vibe more of this song.

[@205breed]

@@jacocharzukanamericanautho2422 I can't stand John Legend now after the way he did MJ when that stupid Leaving Neverland Fairytale was out.

[@reginaldfairfield]

Yessss, Stevie! Stevie had his breakdown, but he pulled out the song, too. He let those tears fall and he came back STRONG! He is such a passionate and loving person. ♥

[@daled1522]

I agree

[@dillasoul2228]

You can feel how much he loved MJ, the lyrics let him show exactly how he felt. It's hard not to cry when you know exactly what he's feeling

[@reginaldfairfield]

@dillasoul2228 ... So true!! ✨

[@Anonymous18531]

I'll never forget this performance. When I first saw it, it hadn't quite set in that Michael Jackson had died. But when I saw Stevie cry, that's when it really dawned on me that the King of Pop was gone. I miss Michael too. RIP

[@SeanChukwuezi]

This breaks my heart watching this dude misses his friend 😢

[@johnrawlins2344]

Stevie Wonder truly has more talent in his little finger than the latest generation of pop hacks combined.

[@accabasit]

No doubt

[@she_sings_delightful_things]

Still an insanely relevant comment in 2024!!!!

[@tyraebuxton5118]

The way Stevie breaks down makes you wanna break down as well. It's a very touching moment. Any other Michael fan would have done the same thing, considering this wasn't that long after his passing.

[@gezatherton1071]

Both Stevie and John deserve credit here. Stevie for finishing the song despite his grief and John for keeping the song going. That's professionalism from both.

[@skadude113]

Music is a way to express emotion. Sadness, anger, depression, happiness, whatever it may be. Breaking down in the middle of a song like Stevie is the proof. So much respect for Michael and for Stevie. TRUE musicians.

[@meot.meo.1097]

As always i say... "They don't call him "Stevie Wonders" for nothing..." One of the best in history. ❤

[@JustYouMike]

This made me cry I miss MJ, even i don't know MJ cause im 5 years old when MJ died, i fell inlove with his music since i was young... till now i still listen to his music. MJ is the best ❤ He is the most handsome, sexy, beautiful, talented and perfect man for me ❤

[@jewelramsey8582]

I got choked up when Stevie started to cry while he was paying tribute to his longtime friend Michael Jackson. John Legend felt his Sadness & kept the Energy of the song going while Stevie regained his composure. A Fantastic Performance by both of them!

[@dominiquejones3805]

If there's anyone who doesn't deserve to sing a Michael Jackson song, it's John Legend. All love goes out to Stevie Wonder.

That’s the truth! Him and his wife are horrible,, I’m sure you know what I’m talking about

[@AzuraMusic]

FACTS

[@jacocharzukanamericanautho2422]

Yeah, he should seriously go fuck himself. I have always hated that man since day one and I have seriously lost all respect for after what he said about MJ. He also literally took his name from a far superior singer which is something that is just a crime to humanity.

[@curtismichael4703]

[@21fayee]

such a hypocrite 🤮🤮

[@kenhuard8185]

When Stevie cries we cry with him.

[@emprento9006]

I’m sobbing. I miss Michael so much 😢😩

[@harrisongdavis]

I saw him during his Songs in the Key of Life tour this past year. He started the show like 2 hours late, but told the crowd it was because one of his band members was found unconscious in his hotel room. Stevie was emotional the whole concert, and in the middle of Joy Inside My Tears he started crying. You could feel the emotion everywhere in the stadium. It was truly a special concert.

[@freem4n644]

👍

[@SergeantSkeleton]

Wow, that’s tough. Just shows how dedicated his fans are. You and everyone else there I’m sure would’ve made it so you were comforting him and his band rather then the usual him comforting everyone else by performing. He’s a true legend, when his time comes I don’t know what the word will do. We already lost MJ, if we lose him before he’s due to go (which should be never), then music will be never the same again

[@1987dfa]

Stevie is an unreal vocalist - it goes to show how difficult some MJ songs are!

[@TheJollycoppers]

Stevie Wonder is not only legendary, but he is a class act through-and-through. I thank God that I grew up in the same era as the music of Stevie, Smokey, Michael, Luther and the many other great musical geniuses.

[@yourfriendphinex]

People can say whatever they want about Michael Jackson or Stevie Wonder but the fact is they were/are phenomenally talent performs who didn't hide or hold anything back onstage. There's a lesson in that for other "artists" to take heed of. I'll never forget seeing this and being reminded why I took up an instrument in the first place.

[@marcellee4212]

The heartache continues to this day... but the music, the passion, the joy, the love and the electricity that Michael Jackson brought to this world will also never stop.

[@robinbush5135]

What a heartbreaking moment there. Such an upbeat song, but Stevie's feelings of loss for his friend were still too raw. I can't take seeing Stevie so sad! But it was such a powerful human moment, too. Great job pulling himself back together as well, as emotional as he was.

Stevie Wonder is a bundle of pure love & joy & genius. Probably one of the few humans who could possibly relate to MJ who had magical gifts as a young child [as did "Little Stevie Wonder"] & was also put to work by Motown as a child & did dozen of shows all over the US every year & worked & worked & worked & worked some more. No wonder [no pun intended] Stevie was heartbroken when he lost his "baby brother" .

[@brooklyngurl09]

Him and Micheal had a special bond in darkness nobody physically will ever understand the feeling between , Stevie couldn’t see physically but he knew who Micheal was inside through and through and Micheal knew him beyond the physical

[@trujofn4175]

This dude sung one of the hardest songs ever that even Michael wouldn't sing live, but of course Michael couldn't sing it live because it would be strenuous on his voice to keep sing the high pitched song repeatedly as he would be on tour.
