Stevie Wonder - Human Nature - Glastonbury 2010

[alexhatzia]

you can feel Stevie's tears through his harmonica.

[nicchioblues]

Grandissimo tributo di Stevie a Michael. Strepitosa la sua interpretazione, il canto dell'armonica prende tutto il suo stile inconfondibile. Da ascostare e riascoltare!

[hammouminator]

we have been Michaelazied for the past present and the future generation , no one could replace such emotional music feeling

[knightrider955]

Chokes me up watching this amazing perfomance by a music Icon, Covering a tune from a music legend. Stevies talent is amazing. I loved him on the Dr Phil show last week with Donny Osmond

[Visaliny]

I miss Michael :'(

[biebslikesugar]

the fact that people sang along, without nobody singing in the stage made me cry so hard :') I love Michael and Stevie <3

[fiveofiveo1]

this is dope!!

[12MSSHAYE]

Stevie did this joint like no other, but Michael himself! Stevie is a bonafide entertainer.He can't dance,but he can sure play that dern harmonica and sing his tail off!!!!

[12MSSHAYE]

THIS MAN IS LIKE SUPER HUMAN! GIFTED!!!

[harveydog2006]

dude can play the harmonica

[lalogombg]

oh the harmonica :D so nice

i want to that too

[mostessential1]

Is that the Keith Johns who sang "Why Don't We Try" off the Do The Right Thing Soundtrack? I own the cassette single and wondered what came of him!

[lumbia33]

@mostessential1 yup! he has been touring with STEVIE for many years... i've seen STEVIE three times (the greatest shows EVER!) and mr. john has always been there. and 'why don't we try' is an amazing song... i just have the 'do the right thing' soundtrack on vinyl. he has done well for himself, not necessarily even following the shadows of his father, little willie john- another amazing artist. peace to you...

[LuKasAV6]

Beautiful tribute! Keith John is amazing on vocals as usual! "I Can Only Be Me", a song he sung from the School Daze soundtrack, is one of my favorite songs of all time.

[BlackKlitschkofan]

How can someone hate this, mankind is sick

[medusa7ful]

@BlackKlitschkofan Some beings are not mankind

[BlackKlitschkofan]

@medusa7ful anybody who observes whats going on outside, will come to the same conclusion..Mankind is sick, the earth is sick, so its an intended general statement

[speechlessforMJ]

just amazing!

[imydaking]

there is no one that can sing that song like michael jackson.

[lumbia33]

@imydaking i agree, no one can deliver it like michael- his delivery is pure perfection- however, i think STEVIE and the band did just fine. STEVIE is one of the only artists i consider to do michael's art any true justice. i consider STEVIE to be michael's artistic father. they are for me, the greatest artists of our time. just as both their versions of 'i can't help it' are different- STEVIE'S original intent i believe was more latin jazz- michael's is just as perfect. peace...

[eritreangurrl]

@lumbia33 I love what you said, and I agree with you! however, I'd say Stevie and Michael were more like brothers, than a father son relationship thing, because they both grew up together in Motown as children .

[lumbia33]

@eritreangurrl oh for sure... i think in 'reality' in terms of their relationship, they were more like brothers; especially since they were only 8 years apart. i personally see STEVIE as more of a father figure though. in terms of motown, to me there is a significant generational shift between the 'detroit' and the 'moWest' eras. the west grand blvd. sound was much different than what came out of hollywood. and STEVIE was about 23/24 when he worked with a 14/15-year-old michael.

[BaBooBjR]

Love



[erku74]

Love m&s forever love

[foreverpinkable]

this makes me so freakin' happy :')

[mountainlionify]

Is that Stevie's son on vocal?

[Lobsterizer]

@mountainlionify I think his name is Keith Johnson

[nemail99]

@Lobsterizer It's Keith Johns, Stevie's main back up singer.

[vforvitaha]

even audience is singing! amazing!

[paulinhoespindola]

Many yearn for a genius who will never be the same. Represented by my master in every way. Everything I do is inspired by this amazing musician.

I love you Michael and Stevie.

Paulynho Espíndola

[nandokgg]

MAAAAAAASTER

[jrogers71]

YOWWW!!!!!!!

[TheFacelol]

I still get chills listening and watching this!!

[Tony132GR]

This and David Craig's covers are the best....

[habeshagyrl80]

Keith Johns was killing it!

[blackrockdude1]

Mr. Wonder, u are a genius beyond words. Your relationship with MJ was very special. He would've been overjoyed to hear you play his song. I been a fan of yours since I was a kid. You inspire me. Great rendition. That harmonica is magic !

[Julien09348]

I think this is right up their with the legendary Miles Davis' cover. Honestly, outside of Michael and Quincy's recording, Miles Davis was right up their as the seminal time-spanning hit! That is, until now. Thank you Stevie, you musical prophet.

[foreverpinkable]

I honestly can't choose a favorite Michael track, but Human Nature talks to me in ways that i can't describe....what a beautiful rendition :') <3

[Diggy22]

I've gotta find out what harmonicas Stevie Wonder uses. He sounds amazing on them.

[TheQscorpioqueen]

is that man his brother because they sing alot alike?.. jus a question

[bob9teen76]

@TheQscorpioqueen I reckon there aren't many male black singers who don't sight Stevie as an influence. On top of this, Keith has sung with him for years so guess he can't fight it!

[Dianicaa]

I would have given an organ to watch him Glastonbury

[44cande]

a genius making a tribute to another genius

[peacekidxxx]

I just came back from my best friends funeral. We were so lucky that we got to share this moment together at the festival in 2010....the happiest time of our lives. I'll always miss you Sammy xxx

[EDGE2254]

Un grand grand monsieur mister STEVIE WONDER the class big respect thant you so mucht

[Brok3nCarlos]

bloke who wrote this song is steve pocaro, just to put it out there

[MrIrielion]

Sick version Stevie....sick!! Thanks for posting!!

[newbiewoot]

You can't help but to feel amazing during and after watching this video. Beautiful.

[AGbaby235]

Stevie such a beast wit dat Harmonica respect to him fo givin' tribute to MJ and R.I.P. to MJ

[RocioJacksonMotown]

I love it!!!!! *-* Stevie & Michael forever! <3

[kurdishheart]

Even MJ has not sung just as good as Stevie has played it with his harmonica. Love you Stevie W. & MJ

[deborahbremmer]

respect for Stevie !

[hanscombe72]

Human Nature is such a beautiful track. It is probably the most covered, remixed and sampled track of MJ's. While not written by him it was always the most delicate, subtle and elegant pieces he would do live. He would do his robotic popping dance moves and the voice would shimmer out over the night air. I saw this in Sydney Australia in 1996. The crowd actually went quiet, just to watch total perfection. There are bigger fans of his than me but there is something super human about this track.

[manpildo]

@hanscombe72 I don't think Mike performed Human Nature in 1996 except for in Brunei.

[TheHalfO]

@hanscombe72 he never performed human nature in sydney 96 you might be confusing this song with stranger in moscow where he does the popping moves

[Lagash1973]

@hanscombe72 Did he sing Human Nature in that stage of the History World Tour? :-|

[starwynde09]

The news is full of the nature of some humans; their proclivity for violence, dishonesty, megalomania, selfishness and greed seems to dominate. And just when we begin to despair in the course that man seems to have taken---Stevie Wonder presents us with a ray of light and hope, such as this. Kudos, Stevie. And rest in peace, dear Michael. This, too---is human nature. We do remember. Love--and all that it inspires---truly is forever.

[maggiekos]

I couldn't imagine more beautiful tribute... brought tears to my eyes...

[Justinee25]

amazing.. ;)

[xoRachyy]

Honestly nearly cried when i heard the crowd start singing the chorus :')

[LifeSoulAz]

this actually made me cry..wonderful version!

[VFlowers24]

stevie makes me want to learn how to play the harmonica

[hardin54]

we love you Sir MJ and Sir Stevie, RIP always MJ and God Bless you always Stevie !!!!

[mercuryforeva]

tears :)

[Streamline09]

Backup singer Keith John has got Stevie's style down. Nice job. I appreciate this version because of Stevie's love for Michael, but Miles Davis's version is definitive. Thanks.

[Evonne77]

@Streamline09: a lot of people think miles version is just fluff and not truly his best work. that from the hardcore miles fans and critics. just saying. I like it personally, but I wouldnt go so far as to say it is THE best version of it, especially when Ive heard MANY versions of this song. I think they all lend something to it in their own way.

[Streamline09]

@Evonne77 Miles infused it with a combination of pop sensibility and jazz intelligence. I've not heard other versions, so I don't deny the possibility of there being more compelling versions. I'm open to recommendations, but up to now, Miles's version does it for me. Thanks.

[MDStallings7]

@Streamline09 Coming from a trumpet player, I gotta say while I do like his cover of the song, Miles was past his prime by that point. When you know how well he played back during say the Bird of Paradise or Birth of Cool era of his career, it makes it hard to listen to him play Human Nature. On a side note, I would love to hear Wynton Marsalis or Chris Botti take a stab at it. The ridiculously sexy tone they produce would make this song melt.

[Streamline09]

@MDStallings7 I'm familiar with Dewy's playing from Rubberlegs Williams through to his last performance and I certainly respect the view of a trumpeter. I agree that getting Chris or Wynton--especially Wynton--to play Human Nature or Time After Time would be fascinating. But Wynton wouldn't do it: too much pride.

[MDStallings7]

@Streamline09 So true

[Evonne77]

@Evonne77: well hey, nows a better time than any to explore other versions, dont just stop at that particular version. Variety is the spice of life :) I personally like to see what different things people can do to the same song, its always pretty neat.

[RahRah8585]

I love this version stevie...

LOVE IT, LOVE YOU!!!!!!lol

[fofisternurinha]

MICHAEL FOREVER

[brianasyerrasallis]

Love it!

[Bassadone]

This was such a special moment; so glad to be there.

[pip3586]

there are very few singers who strike my interest. and i must say this kat is, pretty much as good as they get for me.

steve rocks, mj, prince, dangelo,

this dude is going off like a monk

beutiful music, outstanding breath of fresh air

[GospelAccording2ME]

LMO! That dude can sing...okay?

[jeffersalfie]

stevie wonder is a icon and a genius

[nataliaaa101]

is anyone else hearing this amazing singer???? can't BELIEVE he's a backup! should be selling records himself!

[Chengetai2005]

wow !!!! i have tears in my ears ....Stevie is a WONDER ...i am amazed and humbled ...He did not even try to outdo MJ ....he just complimented the song ...wish i was there at that concert

[rochroch2012]

goose bumbs when he does that sick riff at 2.06

[johner74]

Saw Stevie in Dublin last year the week before this performance and this was one of the highlights of an amazing gig.

[robert4501]

I'm not crying, I just have something in my eye.

[GavAndrews]

@robert4501 Ahem me too....

[britneyslut]

omg ;; i miss you Mj .R.I.P

[cojam2]

Imagine Jacko as a headliner one year? It would have been incredible. Wonder did an incredible tribute though. RIP.

[britneyslut]

@cojam2 MJ hated that name so do i

[TheYates100]

@cojam2 Even folk who hated him would still go watch, you'd also probably get millions of his fans buying ticckets just to see him and would rob the actual festival goers of the oppurtunity to go. Now MJ ain't here, Prince would be a good headliner.

[WWEfireworkfan]

Stevie Wonder just stole Glastonbury 2010. Wonderful tribute to a wonderful man & also by a wonderful man. RIP Michael Jackson

[5misslady]

he totally jus murdered that song and that harmonica!!(didnt kno u could sing with a harmonica!!)

[carlay245]
