Michael Jackson set the bar so high that no one will ever touch it again when he delivered one of the most legendary live performances in MTV history at the 1995 MTV Video Music Awards, leaving a moment that defined what a true stage performance looks like.

We see people today get called performers for walking across a stage and pointing a mic at the crowd. Michael Jackson gave us a 15-minute Broadway level production in the middle of an awards show. He didn't just do a set he reminded everyone that there is a difference between a star and a King
And someone is comparing Beyoncรฉ to this? No comparison. Michael Jackson is in a class of his own. Ultimate legend
To think that some stupid Beyonce fans would compare her with Michael is just sheer blasphemy ๐
Legendary. That 1995 VMA medley is still the gold standard โ the precision, the energy, the showmanship. No oneโs touched it since.
You cannot buy a ticket for a Michael Jackson's show and not get value for your money.
mind you they initially didnโt even want to play his music video on the channel ! ๐
Nawww I miss seeing talented people so much ๐ญ Itโs such a slap in the face contrasting it to the absolute steaming pill of garbage they serve up as entertainment ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
This is what perfectionism is all about. Keep rehearsing until you get it right. MJ aligned himself with a choreographer who understood MJ vision & dancers who knew it had to be perfect. The result: flawless choreography & routines.
M.J.'s career spanned #Decades Jackson 5, The Jacksons, Michael. ๐ถ Today's entertainers can't even touch the Jackson 5 Era - hit records, guest on TV shows, magazine coverage, Saturday Morning Cartoon. Traveled/toured across the world/internationally in the 1970s.
The most singularly gifted genius to ever touch the stage. I donโt believe anyone will ever come even close. Miss him so much.
As a child Michael and the Jackson 5 were touring the world. In 1972, they were in Paris. Who as a young entertainer does this?
One of the best if not the best choreography in all those MJ years in my opinion.
No one even in 1000 years to come.
Really?
๐ค the king of pop
No one is peaking that standard
All the foot moves are descendants of tap dancing slides. Tap dance were derived from African, Irish, Scottish and English percussive performance, along with early American music.
His performances were like no other and that is why I don't understand why people think Prince was better than Michael. No fng way!!!
One of my favorite performances!!!
Not a big fan of his pop, but have to admit his dancing was 1st rate. Backup dancers are usually better that the showcased star, but not here!
I prefer singers who write good songs , play instruments and sing well, Wacko was a dancer not a musician
I can do all that, itโs simple
An entertainer with no equal
@gb_clive How many times can I like this please????โค๏ธ
Man was GENERATIONAL.
Itโs not even close !!!! Best ever to do it ever ever ever forever and everโฆ.
Si pero ahora esta el su sobrino

All these for micheal jackson alone... words can't describe micheal... Silence does.
So iconic!!!๐ค๐ป
Crazy guy ๐น
Everyone tries to imitate him, but there's only one Michael Jacksonโeveryone else is just a copycat.
What makes this one of the most legendary live performances?? This same dance that people do everyday everywhere??
Truly a โking of Popโ
