He was nominated for five grammys that year and won zero. It was a heartbreaking night for him, despite this iconic performance. I felt so bad for him. He looked so sad sitting in the audience :( They treated him so badly.
They tried to humiliate him. MJ poured his heart and soul into the "Bad" album. And showcased his immense amount of skill on that stage. But, in the end MJ's star was too bright to ever be taken away. Thank you for your comment ✌
@@honey.brown.nerdrealm the media started ridiculing him because of his changed appearance (which more or less looks the same), he got made fun of just because of a skin condition and they purposely panned the camera towards MJ to show the disappointment in his face.
@@honey.brown.nerdrealm They sure did that’s how I knew they wanted to embarrass MJ putting the camera on him as soon as U2 won Album Of The Year and everyone else won all these awards except MJ who had 5 consecutive number 1 hits in a ROW!!!!!! Yea they knew exactly what they were doing that’s why I’ll always stand by MJ he deserves all the shit he been through was so uncalled for they knew no album was competing with MJ’s BAD album so they gave his awards away to other artist and invited him out to perform but it didn’t matter cause he’d go on to sellout Wembley more than any artist ever has or will on his BAD World Tour MJ’s Stardom was too bright for them to dim PERIOD!
This performance literally stole the show, even though he didn't win any awards that night but it was enough to show the world that he was the king. Please also react to his Billie Jean performance at Wembley stadium 1988. Edit- Michael always saved the best for the last, from 6:04 that's where he started showcasing his raw vocals to fully energise the crowd.
@@honey.brown.nerdrealm the bad album had like 7no1 singles there is no reason why he shouldn't have won atleast 5 Grammy's that night, but eventually in 1990 he did win Grammy one for "leave me alone" but I don't think a lot of people even know about that award.
The whole performance including The Way You Make Me Feel was epic. I always say this but MJ is without a doubt the greatest entertainer of all time. He had the vocals, energy, charisma, creativity, dance moves and much more. 🐐
They gotta React to both Short Films of “They Don’t Care About Us” in chronological order too cause the Prison Version is the first one that was released✍🏽👑💯
@@honey.brown.nerdrealm BINGO!!!! I’ll DM you both of them in 4K cause like I said on MJ’s UA-cam Channel they cut the Brazil version short etc. if you don’t mind
This performance, he was lip syncing until the spot where the mic goes out. That is when he starts singing live! Before this song, he performed The Way You Make Me Feel! He was very upset when they didn't turn the mic on when they were supposed to. Michael is my favorite male artist and I've done so much research on him! Great reaction!
In hindsight it doesn't really matter that he didn't win any Grammys. Because it's like you said, that performance was a spiritual experience, and no award could ever compare to what he did that night...it was everlasting. And Grammys today are like participation awards given out to mediocre performers. But it's good seeing you guys and hearing your insights. Keep the music coming.
Completely agree! Awards are sort of meaningless if the artist and the music touches your spirit in such a profound way. And MJ definitely reaches that platform. Thank you so much for your comment and taking time out of your day to watch our video. We honestly are so blessed because of people like you!
Michael was nominated for four awards for Bad (Album Of The Year; Best Rhythm & Blues Vocal Performance; Pop Male Vocalist; Producer Of The Year). And as you said he didn't win any of them. It is hard to believe, especially since the Bad album had five No.1 singles.
An absolute travesty. Legit. And it was done on purpose to humiliate him. The "Bad" album was very influential to the culture. It's so dumb that they chose to try and take away his pride like that
Mike having black church out there, the microphone was cutting off which made it better! ( You are correct though this was the beginning of the hate for Michael Jackson people started coming for him wayyy before the allegations in the 90s and 2000s people just don't remember, which is why he made the song and great video Leave me Alone which you got to react to also. )
Having that gospel choir out there added so much to the already amazing live performance. Yeah, it's so sad to see that the true hatred from the world onto MJ kind of started during the "Bad" era.
The entire Grammy performance is incredible! This is why he was the king of pop, Michael didn't need a huge stage production to have the entire crowd enthralled (though obviously his stage shows were spectacular) - some of my favourite performances of his are just Michael with a microphone. God, that voice! 😍♥ Another amazing performance that you guys should definitely check out further down the line when you guys get to Earth Song is his Royal Brunei 1996 performance.......beautiful, in the truest sense of the word, and like the Grammy performance, not too over the top in terms of production - just Michael with a microphone, and its glorious. I will happily second that you guys need to check out The way you make me feel, and just cant stop loving you!! Lets be honest, his ENTIRE back catalogue is amazing and we want you guys to check it ALL out lol, but those two songs are among my favourite songs on the Bad album, love them to bits! Btw, the original version of Just cant stop loving you has a spoken word intro by Michael.......ooft! 😍 *totally agree with Blendas comment about Michael needing more genuine people around him in his life that actually cared about him and his welfare, that werent just yes men who were only around to exploit him and piggy-back on his fame and success, and didnt give a damn about him or his well-being. Quick word of warning about The Detail btw.......Some of his videos are pretty good and have fact-based information in them, but others (especially more recently) have the tendency to descend into more tabloid-y territory and I know many MJ fans who have stopped watching his videos because of it. Im not saying dont watch it, and as far as i remember his doc on Dangerous is one thats actually ok and reliable (its been a while since i watched it), but please just tread carefully with that channel.
Completely agree! Michael could just be on a stage talking about his day and I would sit there and watch him with such great attention. He is so captivating and his charisma and his genuine nature is so pure and intriguing. Hmmm, I think you're the only person to ever recommend that live performance of "Earth Song". I think when we do that live performance of "Earth Song" we will start with the one you recommended! Thank you so much for that! I absolutely love "I Just Can't Stop Loving You"!!! And I can't wait to show her that song as well! Also, I wish Michael had more genuine people around him that truly cared for him. He had his mother and a few others. But, he was surrounded by such negative people that probably took advantage of him. Yeah, I don't really watch "the detail" as much anymore. I don't like the topics that they're covering. It's too exploitive and as you said tabloid-y. I just enjoy the breakdowns on the channel of MJ's career when it came to the albums. They did an amazing job on the "Dangerous" era. But, overall I don't really watch the channel as much. Thank you so much for your comment!
@@honey.brown.nerdrealm Aww I feel honored lol! :D Id love to see you both react to that performance - I know there are other Earth song performances that are perhaps more 'spectacular', but the Royal Brunei one doesnt get nearly as much love as it should for some reason, I think you'll both really enjoy it aswell as the music video :) Thats great I just wanted to give you a little heads-up, im glad you were aware already :) Yeah The details videos on the albums are usually pretty good, but yeah especially in the last several months his videos have become increasingly problematic - just in the last couple of weeks he did 2 videos on Michaels appearance, and it became a dumpster-fire in the comments with people accusing him of bleaching his skin, not being proud of being African-American and wanting to be white, and his 3 kids being adopted. Just really ignorant stuff thats long since been debunked! And theres been others that have been incredibly exploitative and trashy. Its so sad that there were so few people in Michaels life that truly cared about him and had his back- like you say he was surrounded by negative people that just saw him as a walking dollar sign and took advantage of his sensitive nature. Im always greatful to the people who DID have his back and WERE there for him :)
Oh God yes, this is the greatest thing ever. Only missing The Way You Make Me Feel just minutes before it. They intentionally didn't give him an award that night. So unbelievable, the Bad album didn't win one Grammy.
MJ had receipts for his greatness that night. People may have left with awards but they all knew who the real winner was win leaving Radio City Music Hall.
OMG guys i can not even breath MJ is so powerful! I can hear people scream when he spin-of and fall well i scream too I really love him so much I've been MJ's fans around 5 years
You love Michael and you have a beautiful wife, you are just a blessed man, God bless you Both from Moroccan in Rome Italy, MJ forever the king of kings
If an artist today was asked to sing live with the likes of MJ next to them... They'd rethink the play back option! He wasn't perfect, but he delivered! Study the greats you become the best! Quote on quote! He did it allll! 😊
Hi honey and brown. Thank you so much my dear friends, for uploading reaction to the most emotional and mesmerizing and moving performances of Man In The Mirror. This was such an awesome and yes spiritual experience to watch - I was lucky be there in front of the TV watching him wow his peers in the music industry. All respect to MJ that night was shown on their faces after the performance. He was sharing his message to his peers with so much passion - this was so important to him. You're right -- this was a time during the negative press and stories to bring down MJ - following his leap to mega stardom after Thriller. There was the move in the industry to bring him down - a controversy about how they would bring down an epic performer so they don't get too far up the scale - part of it being a black performer as well. But MJ was far from the american music industry -- he was loved by many people and respected by leaders and around the world because he wanted more to keep the movement to help and heal the world we live in, end war and violence and live in peace. I love Michael too honey - not more than my husband but still I just love him so much...so I get how you feel. His music and sound is in my head always. I love his vocals and his passion - not to mention performances🥰🥰 Thanks again and take your time -- I so look forward to the Dangerous era reactions. God bless you both and keep well and safe always. 🥰🥰♥♥🙏🙏 King of Pop is forever and forever innocent - Let's continue to keep his legacy alive forever ♥♥
Hey! I've been watching so many videos on your channel. They are absolutely amazing. You do an incredible job! And I feel you on that... watching this performance I was transported. It's always such a spiritual journey when listening to Michael. He truly is an angel. It saddens me to see how jealous the music industry was of him when he was alive. They tried to bury him. They tried to bring down his empire. But, they never could! His legacy will live on! Thank you so much for always supporting the both of us! It truly means a lot to us and we feel so special because of people like you! Our first reaction to the "Dangerous" album should be up this week!!!
Yassss I'm so happy that u react to this performance . I remember the first time i saw it . I was blown away . I literally became obsessed with it after that 😂 . And blenda i died at the part when u told him u would leave him for Michael because sameeee i would literally do the same thing 😭😂 . Like why did i born in the wrong time 😭 . But anyways I really enjoyed the reaction as usual and I'm so excited for the dangerous doc i cannot wait 💖💖
A very legendary and emotional performance. It definitely spoke to our souls. MJ can truly capture such raw and vivid emotion within a performance. We're starting the "Dangerous" era this week! Thank you so much for your support 🙏
So sorry! I was so busy in the last week and it’s so hard to get caught up in the comments. I finally read this! And right?! It’s MJ. You just have to follow him. If MJ ask me to leave Donovan, all I can say is he must have a really good reason to ask me to do that. Fate of the world or something. I just have full trust in MJ! -Blenda
Nobody will ever touch MJ in terms of overall package he had everything an artist needed and everything was uniquely him he truly is The Greatest Music Artist To Ever Live Singer & Dancer As Well Long Live The King Of Music he’ll always be my inspiration😇🙌🏽👑💙💕🌟(Siedah Garrett wrote this song only for MJ and she was begging Quincy to give it to MJ plus he wrote to Man In The Mirror but got his writing credits took off simply to let Ms. Garrett get most of the shine on that end of the bargain and MJ was always in his Prime on top of his game throughout his entire career and in all his performances he gave it his absolute all that is a FACT! And speaking on the BAD album not receiving no awards that night in 1988 that was absolutely the establishment’s “SCREW YOU!” Moment to MJ folks think they started to go against MJ in the 90’s No it started exactly during the BAD Era MJ wanted to Top his Thriller album and sweep the Grammys once again and they weren’t going for it so MJ was nominated for everything but didn’t win anything not even album of the year U2 won it and it’s crazy and yes it was done on purpose cause MJ with the BAD album had 5 consecutive Number 1 Hits in a row which is no easy feat to accomplish yet they gave him 0 awards that night so MJ put on the performance of a lifetime and now nobody remembers anything but MJ’ Performance of that Grammy Night and it is known as Thee Greatest Grammy Performance Of All Time! And you wanna know what’s real messed up he did eventually end up winning a Grammy for his BAD album only a year later in 1989 for Best Short Film with his Short Film/Music Video for his song titled “Leave Me Alone” which is phenomenal of a Short Film they were playing with MJ and sabotaged him out of his BAD albums success but the album is 1000% Forever Influential no denying that especially more than any album that won that night PERIOD!)
MJ will forever be a true and authentic legend. Love knowing the backstory to this song. Thanks, my dude! Always learning from you! Yeah, I completely agree. They tried to bury Michael around this time. He was becoming way too big and powerful and "they" wanted to keep him under their thumb. MJ deserved to win that night. Such a shame. But, we all know that MJ surpasses any award. Once again, thank you so much for your comment. I'm always learning so much from you!
@@honey.brown.nerdrealm I always enjoy different nuances of MJ from you guys as well through your lenses trust & believe,also thank you I appreciate it can’t wait for the next MJ upload it should be a experience! And agreed no Award solidified MJ’s entire career he’s above any & every award PERIOD!
This has to be in the top three of Michael Jackson’s best live performances of all time! The greatest Grammy Award Performance of all time! Bless You Guys! Can’t wait to watch Your next reactions! Blenda don’t tell me that you drew the thumbnail!!!! 😳😍
Completely agree! The sheer amount of emotion you can see in the performance (especially towards the end) is pure phenomenal! And no, she didn't draw it haha. But, she does such an amazing job at creating the thumbnails and finding the right picture for each! Thank you so much as usual for always supporting us!
My angel MJ is the most perfect performer and every lyric is so real and intentional and incredibly true. It’s seems like MJ was so driven by God….his actions, songs, voice and his spirit just grabs me. MJ was God’s perfect creation and his purpose in life was so driven by love, peace and everything good. What a performance!!❤️❤️👑🤩💕
Wow wow wow he was a blessed singer 😍 he really used his talent for good deeds and helping the poor ❤ his voice is really soft sweet and beautiful unique voice ❤
One of his greatest performances and he ended up with 0 awards that night. The jealousy was unbearable he also owned ATV music which contained the Beatles catalogue of music
thank u for talking about the grammy situation please never stop about giving information about mj all the time !!! You the best really, he`s alive because of people like you!
You are truly such a beautiful soul! Thank you so much. We genuinely appreciate wonderful people like you! Also, we just checked out your channel. You do covers?!!! That's amazing. We just subscribed!
@@honey.brown.nerdrealm Thank u so much !!! all love brother. I just see your eyes every video and I can feel u cry on the inside of your body while watching michael. It`s crazy how connected we are with him...we don`t know him personally but it feels like he is family... thats so wow.
such an epic performance it really leaves u spellbound when u watch him perform this particular performance of man in the mirror loved it! ive mentioned this a few times but i truly hope u guys react too this performance next its the mtv 10th anniversary performance that michael did of black or white and will you be there im telling u its one of the most beautiful and emotional and incredible performances u will ever see period u all have too do it soon please let me say get ur tissues ready because u will need em especially ur wife lol! its just pure joy watching that performance its almost angelic when u watch it u will see exactly why i say that! great vid great reaction love y'all ur the best!
Watching MJ perform live is like watching an artist paint a unique and masterpiece-esque picture. It's like a holy experience. I can't fathom how people could truly watch him perform live. I know there's tons of videos of the audience fainting... and I don't blame them. I would do the same. Oooh, we will definitely have to add that performance when we're reacting to the "Dangerous" era!
@@honey.brown.nerdrealm absoultely its a must u gotta do that reaction for sure also i would suggest the 92 dangerous tour performances of billie jean and smooth criminal and man in the mirror and jam all from the 92 dangerous bucharest concert!
YESSSS thank u for doing this and listen to our recommendations! The first part was lyp sync and the last part was sung by him. But we all know he can sing like this live!!
Ojalá hubieran reaccionado a su presentación completa, es alucinante. Reaccionen a su presentación completa en el aniversario 10 de los MTV, como todas sus presentaciones en vivo son increíbles.
I know! I wish we reacted to the first song as well. But, she hasn't heard "The Way You Make Me Feel" yet. So, I wanted her to hear that song and watch the music video first! Thank you so much for your comment!
Loved it. You can see how amazing of a performer he was and how much soul he would put in every performance. Honestly, there's more Man in the mirror performances worth reacting to. The ones from Dangerous tour from Bucharest and Copenhagen 1992. But this after some time, of course. Also if you're getting to Dangerous, I would love to see you guys react to Will you be there performance from MTV 10th anniversary 1991. By far the best choreography he's ever done for this song. And that as well is a spiritual experience. So beautiful. In that same video he's performing Black or White as well. Both are a must react to. I hope you guys will react to that in the near future, as it is a very special performance for me. I can go on about how much I love your reactions, but you already know that.
This performance was definitely an emotional experience. Especially towards the end. You can feel the aura of MJ in this performance. An absolute beautiful showcase of how talented MJ truly is. Definitely have to check those other performances as well. Thank you for the recommendation. Thank you as well for your wonderful support and beautiful comment for us! We truly do appreciate you 🙏
If you are planing on watching the first part of the performance TWYMMF is shortened you are prolly better off watching on from the history/bad tour. Love the reaction.
I read an article but I don't remember much from it but it said that MJ could have created another 1984 moment (sweeping every nomination) but the academy thought it would be not fair or something like that.🤔 But the bottom point is they intentionally didn't give him any grammy that night. And MJ never returned to grammy since then. He appeared once in 1993 to receive a Grammy legend award, and that was it. He never attended grammy after that.
Such a shame. The "Bad" album is so good! And a lot of important and influential songs were created in that masterpiece. But, at the end of the day it's what matters to MJ and his fans around the world. No award can ever take away the impact Michael had on the world! A true star. A true human being!
@@honey.brown.nerdrealm absolutely !! But Adding to that Bad is the blueprint for the "good gone bad" album concept that artists are still following. The impact and influence are what matter.
@@honey.brown.nerdrealm True. He'd had plenty of grammys anyways and he'll be long remembered and celebrated and introduced to new generations for centuries, maybe forever, long after many other Grammy winners have long since been forgotten. This man is still super successful even when the media and scammers tried to defame him. He's still super successful 13 years after he died.
Great reaction as always guys! Indeed one of his greatest performances ever and imo THE best Grammy performance in history. However, you commented at 2:57 that his vocals are live, actually his mic isn't turned om before 6:00 after the breakdown, and it's first at that point we hear his actual live vocals. Which are brilliant btw! Everything you hear before that are studio vocals. You can clearly hear they needed a few seconds to actually turn up the volume on his mic before it reached the appropriate volume. That's why we can hardly hear his "I'm gonna make a change" and then " It's gonna feel real good shamone" is a bit louder, before finally the mic is fully turned up. Again, brilliant performance by him:)
Oh wow... never knew that. He still sounds amazing even when it was live. This performance was a emotional journey watching it. You can see the rawness and true passion in his body and especially with his aura. MJ is truly a spectacle! Thank you so much for your comment! Much appreciation!
They do it in purpose to broke him , he win 0 and the album has speed demon smooth criminal leave me alone bad man in the mirror ex..., but he come later with dangerous than history then invisible, I born in 1984 but in 2022 always for me his talent is far from anyone, the best forever
Hmmm, I think we'll do that soon as well! Thank you again for your recommendations. It helps us find the best performances because of amazing people like you! Thank you!
If you do the reaction video to "I Can't Stop Loving You," could you maybe do the performance in Argentina? Siedah Garrett (who wrote "Man In The Mirror") was Michael's duet partner during the Dangerous Tour. That night she pranked Michael by wearing a blonde wig during the performance. Michael had a lot of trouble singing the song because he laughed so many times. It's funny to watch the video.
Maybe a double reaction then?! The studio version then the live performance! I love the song so much! Thank you so much for the recommendation as well. Much appreciation!
Amazing reaction! This performance is definitely one of the greatest ever. Michael was just... otherworldly. Miss him so much. Another amazing song is Will You Be There, with such great meaning. Looking forward to other reactions! ✨
You guys definitely gotta react to the first part he performed The Way You Make Me Feel at the beginning also you guy should react to Billie Jean 1984 victory tour it’s so good
We'll play around with the sizing of the video moving forward. Typically, UA-cam blocks reaction videos. So, sometimes you can't show too much of the video you're reacting to 😢
Spectacular performance and another equivalent reaction! No words. I can’t wait for your next reaction to MJ! I speak about MJ on my radio interview on my YT channel, if you guys would check it out on your own time, I think you’d find it super interesting!
I know! But, she hasn't heard the song "The Way You Make Me Feel" yet. So, I wanted her to watch and react to the music video first... We'll definitely come back and watch the full performance in the future 😊

React to " They don't care about us " Brazil version
Yes there is a longer cut of the Brazil version also where Spike Lee continues to film and show the drums and the people that I like the most.

The thing I love about his live is that he looks possessed by music and it’s like for him it’s only music, him and stage existing and no else around.

Thank you so much for your comment!
@@honey.brown.nerdrealm Aww I feel honored lol! :D Id love to see you both react to that performance - I know there are other Earth song performances that are perhaps more 'spectacular', but the Royal Brunei one doesnt get nearly as much love as it should for some reason, I think you'll both really enjoy it aswell as the music video :)
Thats great I just wanted to give you a little heads-up, im glad you were aware already :) Yeah The details videos on the albums are usually pretty good, but yeah especially in the last several months his videos have become increasingly problematic - just in the last couple of weeks he did 2 videos on Michaels appearance, and it became a dumpster-fire in the comments with people accusing him of bleaching his skin, not being proud of being African-American and wanting to be white, and his 3 kids being adopted. Just really ignorant stuff thats long since been debunked! And theres been others that have been incredibly exploitative and trashy.
Its so sad that there were so few people in Michaels life that truly cared about him and had his back- like you say he was surrounded by negative people that just saw him as a walking dollar sign and took advantage of his sensitive nature. Im always greatful to the people who DID have his back and WERE there for him :)
Oh God yes, this is the greatest thing ever. Only missing The Way You Make Me Feel just minutes before it.
They intentionally didn't give him an award that night. So unbelievable, the Bad album didn't win one Grammy.
yep but at the end of the night that whole auditorium knew who the real winner was.
I know! She hasn't heard that song yet and I really want her to watch the music video first. Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment!
Rightfully so! They should all bask in MJ's glory!!!
His voice is gorgeous I really love this man,may God bless him,he deserves it❤❤❤
MJ had receipts for his greatness that night. People may have left with awards but they all knew who the real winner was win leaving Radio City Music Hall.
💯
OMG guys i can not even breath MJ is so powerful!
I can hear people scream when he spin-of and fall well i scream too
I really love him so much I've been MJ's fans around 5 years
Hello! Thank you so much for your comment 😊 ☺️
MJ is truly a legend! Unbreakable!!!
You love Michael and you have a beautiful wife, you are just a blessed man, God bless you Both from Moroccan in Rome Italy, MJ forever the king of kings
Thank you so much! We feel blessed because of amazing people like you. Thank you for joining us on this journey! We appreciate you so much!
If an artist today was asked to sing live with the likes of MJ next to them... They'd rethink the play back option! He wasn't perfect, but he delivered! Study the greats you become the best! Quote on quote! He did it allll! 😊
Love this comment! Rings so true!!!
Hi honey and brown. Thank you so much my dear friends, for uploading reaction to the most emotional and mesmerizing and moving performances of Man In The Mirror. This was such an awesome and yes spiritual experience to watch - I was lucky be there in front of the TV watching him wow his peers in the music industry. All respect to MJ that night was shown on their faces after the performance. He was sharing his message to his peers with so much passion - this was so important to him. You're right -- this was a time during the negative press and stories to bring down MJ - following his leap to mega stardom after Thriller. There was the move in the industry to bring him down - a controversy about how they would bring down an epic performer so they don't get too far up the scale - part of it being a black performer as well. But MJ was far from the american music industry -- he was loved by many people and respected by leaders and around the world because he wanted more to keep the movement to help and heal the world we live in, end war and violence and live in peace. I love Michael too honey - not more than my husband but still I just love him so much...so I get how you feel. His music and sound is in my head always. I love his vocals and his passion - not to mention performances🥰🥰 Thanks again and take your time -- I so look forward to the Dangerous era reactions. God bless you both and keep well and safe always. 🥰🥰♥♥🙏🙏 King of Pop is forever and forever innocent - Let's continue to keep his legacy alive forever ♥♥
Hey! I've been watching so many videos on your channel. They are absolutely amazing. You do an incredible job!
And I feel you on that... watching this performance I was transported. It's always such a spiritual journey when listening to Michael. He truly is an angel.
It saddens me to see how jealous the music industry was of him when he was alive. They tried to bury him. They tried to bring down his empire. But, they never could! His legacy will live on!
Thank you so much for always supporting the both of us! It truly means a lot to us and we feel so special because of people like you!
Our first reaction to the "Dangerous" album should be up this week!!!
Yassss I'm so happy that u react to this performance . I remember the first time i saw it . I was blown away . I literally became obsessed with it after that 😂 . And blenda i died at the part when u told him u would leave him for Michael because sameeee i would literally do the same thing 😭😂 . Like why did i born in the wrong time 😭 . But anyways I really enjoyed the reaction as usual and I'm so excited for the dangerous doc i cannot wait 💖💖
A very legendary and emotional performance. It definitely spoke to our souls. MJ can truly capture such raw and vivid emotion within a performance.
We're starting the "Dangerous" era this week! Thank you so much for your support 🙏
So sorry! I was so busy in the last week and it’s so hard to get caught up in the comments. I finally read this!
And right?! It’s MJ. You just have to follow him. If MJ ask me to leave Donovan, all I can say is he must have a really good reason to ask me to do that. Fate of the world or something. I just have full trust in MJ!
-Blenda
Nobody will ever touch MJ in terms of overall package he had everything an artist needed and everything was uniquely him he truly is The Greatest Music Artist To Ever Live Singer & Dancer As Well Long Live The King Of Music he’ll always be my inspiration😇🙌🏽👑💙💕🌟(Siedah Garrett wrote this song only for MJ and she was begging Quincy to give it to MJ plus he wrote to Man In The Mirror but got his writing credits took off simply to let Ms. Garrett get most of the shine on that end of the bargain and MJ was always in his Prime on top of his game throughout his entire career and in all his performances he gave it his absolute all that is a FACT! And speaking on the BAD album not receiving no awards that night in 1988 that was absolutely the establishment’s “SCREW YOU!” Moment to MJ folks think they started to go against MJ in the 90’s No it started exactly during the BAD Era MJ wanted to Top his Thriller album and sweep the Grammys once again and they weren’t going for it so MJ was nominated for everything but didn’t win anything not even album of the year U2 won it and it’s crazy and yes it was done on purpose cause MJ with the BAD album had 5 consecutive Number 1 Hits in a row which is no easy feat to accomplish yet they gave him 0 awards that night so MJ put on the performance of a lifetime and now nobody remembers anything but MJ’ Performance of that Grammy Night and it is known as Thee Greatest Grammy Performance Of All Time! And you wanna know what’s real messed up he did eventually end up winning a Grammy for his BAD album only a year later in 1989 for Best Short Film with his Short Film/Music Video for his song titled “Leave Me Alone” which is phenomenal of a Short Film they were playing with MJ and sabotaged him out of his BAD albums success but the album is 1000% Forever Influential no denying that especially more than any album that won that night PERIOD!)
MJ will forever be a true and authentic legend. Love knowing the backstory to this song. Thanks, my dude! Always learning from you!
Yeah, I completely agree. They tried to bury Michael around this time. He was becoming way too big and powerful and "they" wanted to keep him under their thumb. MJ deserved to win that night. Such a shame. But, we all know that MJ surpasses any award.
Once again, thank you so much for your comment. I'm always learning so much from you!
@@honey.brown.nerdrealm I always enjoy different nuances of MJ from you guys as well through your lenses trust & believe,also thank you I appreciate it can’t wait for the next MJ upload it should be a experience! And agreed no Award solidified MJ’s entire career he’s above any & every award PERIOD!
Mj was different, he was a magic creation, sorry I don't speak English well but mj is incomparable
Completely agree! Listening to Michael is like a divine experience.
Thank you so much for your beautiful comment!
I love MJ forever
MJ for life! One of the only human beings that can speak to our souls so amazingly!
This has to be in the top three of Michael Jackson’s best live performances of all time! The greatest Grammy Award Performance of all time! Bless You Guys! Can’t wait to watch Your next reactions!
Blenda don’t tell me that you drew the thumbnail!!!! 😳😍
Completely agree! The sheer amount of emotion you can see in the performance (especially towards the end) is pure phenomenal!
And no, she didn't draw it haha. But, she does such an amazing job at creating the thumbnails and finding the right picture for each! Thank you so much as usual for always supporting us!
Yes it was a famous gospel group. Andrea CROUCH. Michael wanted the sound to be churchy, full of The Spirit of GOD! Thank you both!!!
Awesome! It added so much to the performance!
Thank you so much for the comment!
My angel MJ is the most perfect performer and every lyric is so real and intentional and incredibly true. It’s seems like MJ was so driven by God….his actions, songs, voice and his spirit just grabs me. MJ was God’s perfect creation and his purpose in life was so driven by love, peace and everything good. What a performance!!❤️❤️👑🤩💕
This performance woke and spoke to my soul! Only MJ can truly bring that aura out of us all!
Wow wow wow he was a blessed singer 😍 he really used his talent for good deeds and helping the poor ❤ his voice is really soft sweet and beautiful unique voice ❤
One of his greatest performances and he ended up with 0 awards that night. The jealousy was unbearable he also owned ATV music which contained the Beatles catalogue of music
thank u for talking about the grammy situation please never stop about giving information about mj all the time !!! You the best really, he`s alive because of people like you!
You are truly such a beautiful soul! Thank you so much. We genuinely appreciate wonderful people like you!
Also, we just checked out your channel. You do covers?!!! That's amazing. We just subscribed!
@@honey.brown.nerdrealm Thank u so much !!! all love brother. I just see your eyes every video and I can feel u cry on the inside of your body while watching michael. It`s crazy how connected we are with him...we don`t know him personally but it feels like he is family... thats so wow.
@@timuryesa Completely agree. That's the power of MJ's music. It truly brings us all together. Thank you so much for your beautiful words!
such an epic performance it really leaves u spellbound when u watch him perform this particular performance of man in the mirror loved it! ive mentioned this a few times but i truly hope u guys react too this performance next its the mtv 10th anniversary performance that michael did of black or white and will you be there im telling u its one of the most beautiful and emotional and incredible performances u will ever see period u all have too do it soon please let me say get ur tissues ready because u will need em especially ur wife lol! its just pure joy watching that performance its almost angelic when u watch it u will see exactly why i say that! great vid great reaction love y'all ur the best!
Watching MJ perform live is like watching an artist paint a unique and masterpiece-esque picture. It's like a holy experience. I can't fathom how people could truly watch him perform live. I know there's tons of videos of the audience fainting... and I don't blame them. I would do the same.
Oooh, we will definitely have to add that performance when we're reacting to the "Dangerous" era!
@@honey.brown.nerdrealm absoultely its a must u gotta do that reaction for sure also i would suggest the 92 dangerous tour performances of billie jean and smooth criminal and man in the mirror and jam all from the 92 dangerous bucharest concert!
React to his Earth song performance in 1996 world music Awards .
Oooh, I've never seen that one before! Thank you so much for the recommendation! We will add it to the growing list! Thank you!
YESSSS thank u for doing this and listen to our recommendations! The first part was lyp sync and the last part was sung by him. But we all know he can sing like this live!!
MJ's soul is always left on the stage. It's such a beautiful honor to watch him perform!
Ojalá hubieran reaccionado a su presentación completa, es alucinante.
Reaccionen a su presentación completa en el aniversario 10 de los MTV, como todas sus presentaciones en vivo son increíbles.
I know! I wish we reacted to the first song as well. But, she hasn't heard "The Way You Make Me Feel" yet. So, I wanted her to hear that song and watch the music video first!
Thank you so much for your comment!
Thanks for the reaction! This has to be the best Grammy performance of all time.
😎✌Thank you so much!
So much passion and emotion with this live performance!
Loved it. You can see how amazing of a performer he was and how much soul he would put in every performance.
Honestly, there's more Man in the mirror performances worth reacting to. The ones from Dangerous tour from Bucharest and Copenhagen 1992. But this after some time, of course.
Also if you're getting to Dangerous, I would love to see you guys react to Will you be there performance from MTV 10th anniversary 1991. By far the best choreography he's ever done for this song. And that as well is a spiritual experience. So beautiful. In that same video he's performing Black or White as well. Both are a must react to. I hope you guys will react to that in the near future, as it is a very special performance for me.
I can go on about how much I love your reactions, but you already know that.
This performance was definitely an emotional experience. Especially towards the end. You can feel the aura of MJ in this performance. An absolute beautiful showcase of how talented MJ truly is.
Definitely have to check those other performances as well. Thank you for the recommendation.
Thank you as well for your wonderful support and beautiful comment for us! We truly do appreciate you 🙏
Guys you should react to Michael Jackson's full performance of MTV 1995.
Very soon! 🤓
If you are planing on watching the first part of the performance TWYMMF is shortened you are prolly better off watching on from the history/bad tour. Love the reaction.
Most definitely! I want her to watch the music video for "The Way You Make Me Feel" first!
And thank you so much for your comment!
I read an article but I don't remember much from it but it said that MJ could have created another 1984 moment (sweeping every nomination) but the academy thought it would be not fair or something like that.🤔 But the bottom point is they intentionally didn't give him any grammy that night. And MJ never returned to grammy since then. He appeared once in 1993 to receive a Grammy legend award, and that was it. He never attended grammy after that.
Such a shame. The "Bad" album is so good! And a lot of important and influential songs were created in that masterpiece. But, at the end of the day it's what matters to MJ and his fans around the world. No award can ever take away the impact Michael had on the world! A true star. A true human being!
@@honey.brown.nerdrealm absolutely !! But Adding to that Bad is the blueprint for the "good gone bad" album concept that artists are still following. The impact and influence are what matter.
@@honey.brown.nerdrealm True. He'd had plenty of grammys anyways and he'll be long remembered and celebrated and introduced to new generations for centuries, maybe forever, long after many other Grammy winners have long since been forgotten. This man is still super successful even when the media and scammers tried to defame him. He's still super successful 13 years after he died.
Great reaction as always guys! Indeed one of his greatest performances ever and imo THE best Grammy performance in history. However, you commented at 2:57 that his vocals are live, actually his mic isn't turned om before 6:00 after the breakdown, and it's first at that point we hear his actual live vocals. Which are brilliant btw! Everything you hear before that are studio vocals. You can clearly hear they needed a few seconds to actually turn up the volume on his mic before it reached the appropriate volume. That's why we can hardly hear his "I'm gonna make a change" and then " It's gonna feel real good shamone" is a bit louder, before finally the mic is fully turned up. Again, brilliant performance by him:)
Oh wow... never knew that. He still sounds amazing even when it was live. This performance was a emotional journey watching it. You can see the rawness and true passion in his body and especially with his aura. MJ is truly a spectacle!
Thank you so much for your comment! Much appreciation!
They do it in purpose to broke him , he win 0 and the album has speed demon smooth criminal leave me alone bad man in the mirror ex..., but he come later with dangerous than history then invisible, I born in 1984 but in 2022 always for me his talent is far from anyone, the best forever
Michael's legacy is too big to destroy. They tried to bury him... but, his talent was too strong for them!
Don't forget blood on the dance floor/history in the mix. The best selling remix album ever!!! 🤩🙌🏽✨️🩷💞💃🔥💯👑
My favourite Man in the mirror performance is from Burcharest tour and copehagten (not sure of the spelling)
Hmmm, I think we'll do that soon as well! Thank you again for your recommendations. It helps us find the best performances because of amazing people like you! Thank you!
Wow. Amazing. He really put his heart in this. I love MJ. Thank you for reacting to his live performances. Please keep doing that.
More to come! Thank you so much for your comment!
If you do the reaction video to "I Can't Stop Loving You," could you maybe do the performance in Argentina? Siedah Garrett (who wrote "Man In The Mirror") was Michael's duet partner during the Dangerous Tour. That night she pranked Michael by wearing a blonde wig during the performance. Michael had a lot of trouble singing the song because he laughed so many times. It's funny to watch the video.
Maybe a double reaction then?! The studio version then the live performance! I love the song so much!
Thank you so much for the recommendation as well. Much appreciation!
Bad was 2# highest selling album
I love this album so much! Slightly more than "Thriller".
@@honey.brown.nerdrealm you have taste. 🤷🏽♀️
Amazing reaction! This performance is definitely one of the greatest ever. Michael was just... otherworldly. Miss him so much. Another amazing song is Will You Be There, with such great meaning. Looking forward to other reactions! ✨
This was such a deep and emotional live performance. You can see the true passion in MJ's eyes.
Thank you so much for your comment!
Thank you love this song MJ felt it
We felt it in our soul!
react to the song (SMILE) by Michael Jackson
You guys definitely gotta react to the first part he performed The Way You Make Me Feel at the beginning also you guy should react to Billie Jean 1984 victory tour it’s so good
For sure! She's never heard the song, "The Way You Make Me Feel", so, I want her to watch the music video first.
I wish the screen was somehow bigger. Thanks for reaction.. i also don't understand why man in the mirror newer got a Grammy.
We'll play around with the sizing of the video moving forward. Typically, UA-cam blocks reaction videos. So, sometimes you can't show too much of the video you're reacting to 😢
please react to michael jackson who is it official video
That is #1 favorite song by Michael! We're starting the "Dangerous" era in the next week or so. So, that will definitely be reacted to!
I am so glad your doing this one!
It's my favorite live performance, and i love you both!
Awww, thank you! We appreciate you so much!
Hey guys. Can you react to MJ's performance of Billie Jean in 1988 at Wembley? thanks.
Adding it to the list! Thank you so much for your comment and support!
Spectacular performance and another equivalent reaction! No words. I can’t wait for your next reaction to MJ! I speak about MJ on my radio interview on my YT channel, if you guys would check it out on your own time, I think you’d find it super interesting!
Thank you so much! And we will definitely check it out on your channel. Thank you so much for sharing it with us!!!
Have you noticed that since Michael Jackson is not here anymore the wars are duplicated??xxx
💯
That's because we don't have a real and genuine leader like Michael anymore. 💔
@@honey.brown.nerdrealm ohhhhh yeah its true !!!!! Xxxx
He did win a grammy for leave me alone but yeah he was robed that night his face said it all
💯 Definitely robbed!
Yea not that same night tho it was a whole entire year later smh🙇🏽♂️💯
@@Milkers777 yes I know. In my opinion bad album was way superior to Thriller
@@Stuartone7 I don't know about it being better than Thriller but certainly better than (U2 Joshua Tree) whatever you call it 🙌🏽💗🎶💯
you guys should definitely react to the full 1995 MTV Michael Jackson performance
Oh... definitely! I think we'll react to that in the next coming weeks...
