At 5:56 I think that Mya just simpy had no choice but to Shut up or Lip Synch as WHitney was BEASTING ! Either that or the producers turned Mya's Microphone off as she is singing but I can't hear her at all. Mya was Blessed to be on the same stage as WHitney.
I loved how Whitney Stomped her feet as she entered that stage with absolute conviction - she knew she had to show these 2 try hards Mya & Usher as to how its Really done - WHitney GAVE IT ! - Did you hear the crowd go Crazy as she goes to the opposite end of the stage WOW!
ficou lindooooooooooooooooooooo d++++++++++++++++++++++!!!!!nossa ficou de arrepiar!!amei!!da vontade de dançar e cantar junto com eles!!!Michael i love you ever!!!auuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
i remember watching this as a 10 year old in 5th grade...needless to say that this is the best concert i've ever seen, and i've seen a few very famous people/groups.
All these people saying Usher wasn't good. Well at least he wasn't singing with the Pitch Corrector like Mya was. It's what Janet, J-Lo, and others who can barely sing, yet sing AND dance use.
Michael should have kicked Usher off like how Prince did to Kim Kardashian. " GET OFF THE STAGE!!!! " Mya & Whitney can stay. Usher tried way too hard to be like MJ. :c
who was that bag of bones?? (adjusts glasses) Oh that was whitney houston.. O.O...
I thought she was a witch doctor with all those tribal clothes...mya was fine as hell & usher screwed the dance moves...whitney sung as good as i expected her voice to but she looked like hell..i wouldve chosen some other people but a nice performance tho
man, i mean it is a low down dirty shame that M.j is gone,i am a white boy with ,you know, not the best rythum,but there never was an M.J.song that failed to just kick me in the ass,and set me to moveing. this man was a walking ,danceing,liveing metrenome,and when he wanted to get serious with his vocal abilities,he could prove it. i pray that were he is now,that there is light,and great peace,and that some body on the other side marveles at his dance,and great voice.
The synthesis of this music was simply out of this world. It's amazing how many instrumentalists play in this song. I always thought that there's gotta be more instrumentalists playing out his songs then featured during live world tours, judging from the sound you hear from audio outputs. I think every musical instrument plays in Michael Jackson's songs. Besides, the tempo was slowed down to enable you appreciate the groove like it is when you hear the audio on radio. Simply brilliant!
lol, stage costumes are whack! hahah. If they needed a stylist they should have called me, although I was only 15 at the time and living on the other side of the Atlantic... I prob would've made a better job though hahah
@Sn0rNg Usher - & all the rest on this show who were given the opportunity they shouldn't have had to share the stage with Michael Jackson. Not even close to deserving the same stage
out of this video i only like watching 3:13 til the end. and why is it a jungle tiki theam? and i like it when there in the air and MJ'S reaction . but in the begining i did not enjoy usher . but it was like a speechless preformance for me. but it was good.
Once you can get passed Whitney's shocking appearance then it's actually a good performance. Not her greatest vocally but not bad and she owned the stage. Notice Usher and Mya did their bit before she hit the stage. She owned it.
Mya gave Whitney a look like "Damnn what the fuck happened to you". But seriously, this was when we worried about Whitney. She looked like a fucking skelton train wreck.
2 music legends as soon as whitney took the stage the performance was owned by her she was amazing yes skinny and frail but she doesn't let her personal life get in the way of what she does best whitney your the best and michael u r too
To be honest after watching Michael perform this live, when I hear Usher's vocals at the start of this performance I just think that he sounds terrible.. =/
whitney and michael look at each is one for the ages...whitney is struggling mightily with her personal life at this time,,,,MJ gave her this shot at the big stage again and she just owned it.....
when she sings to him face to face it is again rewriting american pop music history...MJ compassion love and respect for the industry and all the stars before him and all his contemporaries.
embrace this! whitney MJ brief lock in is one of those magic stage moments not to be forgotten.
Whitney Houston is a bad bitch. From the moment she stepped on that stage, I forgot it was even a tribute to MJ. That's a diva, that is how you own a stage
@toochie28 well she was the one who made the jacksons be discovered so you should be thankful cause of her. and she's good. ( curious) what makes you think she's a bitch? she's very nice and stuff like mj.
I think the reason so many ppl say Whitney sounds good here is because she doesn't try to sing the song like Michael; she just sings it in her own way. And she's confident as hell! She just sells it.
I am a vegetarian but I'd be the first one to throw Whitney a greasy burger and fries!!! She looked frail and bony. She must have been eating crack for breakfast, lunch and dinner back then.
