Michael Jackson at the Soul Train Music Awards in 1989

[MariusWM]

Most important thing about this video: This is where he was crowned the King of Pop. This is where he got that title.

[moonboots69]

without doubt, the Bad years were his pinnacle..

[TheMoongut]

A true King.... Keep Michaelling

[louie77]

even though he truly deserved these, i feel like soul train knew he got ripped off at the 1988 Grammys, so they deff made sure Mike won a few awards too. not saying this is true, but given the grammy situation i always felt like soul train had his back and support...enough to make sure bobby brown (hot at the time) did not beat mj in important categories

[AWSOMELYRIC]

bite ur lip again baby,omg this man is so sexy and will forever live in my heart!!!

[lightpurple35]

god! michael kills me i need and want that man SO bad that my bones cry for him.. i miss him SO BAD!

[ambeykool]

u heard he lost a mtv award to janet

[eastcompany27]

@3:15 Michael was talking to Rashida Jones!

[Mjgirl55]

Michael was so gorgeous here....and I agree...look back on other clips with Eddie Murphy....he was crushin big time on Michael....he who can blame him he was the hottest man on the planet!

[Shannifer]

Mike does the sexiest biting lip ever at minute 13:36 I repeated that part like hundred times!!!

[matt2fresh84]

most artist are happy and blessed to even get 1 award at a show.....mike was doing clean sweeps!

[AffectionYour]

i was smiling all time over the period of watchin this video....i love him

[Rasha19781]

Who was he biting his lip at? Sexy!! 

[cutiefrogskermit]

lmfao eddie was expecting a kiss but al he got was a handshake XD

from other videos you kinda get the feeling eddie had a bit of a crush on michael

[cos758]

what a wonderful man..

[marko4life1]

luv mj

[adfvssl011]

I LOVE HIS SMILE!!!

[925lexi]

@tight686 Yeah that's Rashida Jones he's talking about he also mentions Rashida's sister Kiddada Jones just before.

[tight686]

13:14 "Hi Rashida!"

[Qassis23]

OMG how cute that little string of hair hanging down between his eyes...!!!!!<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

[TheOldShowLover]

haha will smith parents just don't understand is a great song

but michael is just THE BEST!!!

[quetnique]

It's so funny how Bobby Brown and others were all nominated for the same award as MJ but we all knew who would win hands down! It's like they just put the others their so it would look like he has some competition.LOL

[zdoll12]

he's the best

[TheMidnightDarkness1]

Wow michael look great in his suit. he was better than eddie murphy, eddie murphy thought michael was gonna kiss him X]

[dazv555]

i need my christmas gift so i can buy off the wall,bad and history

[kaygellps3]

One thing I noticed. This video is over 23 years old and everything and everyone looks dated except for MJ. He is just timeless in everything.

[humannature11]

@kaygellps3 :) I agree... :)

[ulapaulapa]

it's free this video its incredible

[azucarmorena5000]

he was soooooooooooooo fine. i watched this live as a kid and i was drooling then. damn mike.

[MJRedSilk]

Eloquent, truthful words from Dame Elizabeth..someone who really knew Michael. A true friend through the good times and the bad. Her speech is hauntingly beautiful.

Thank you for uploading this and sharing with all of us..bless you.

I love you Michael..always in my heart xxx

[octavio001331]

I love her speech about him.

RIP Mike and Liz

[iJustineMagic1212]

Wow so this is how Michael got his title for king of pop

[kcsbestkeptsecret]

[kcsbestkeptsecret]

[TheOldShowLover]

[Cmar102]

Who are the other 3 people with LL Cool J on the 1st award to Michael ? & The lady with Quincy Jones ?

[TheMadeleine1994]

SHIIIITTTTTTTT!!!I'M VERY CRAZY ABOUT BAD ERA!

[miamistudmuffin]

it sound it in the  end of the last speechhe said and you the Republic.lol

[annhellas]

who is the girl next to Katherine? a relative?

[2conscious]

Why does everyone think MJ had a perm? Damn, y'all can't tell that's a weave? You can see where his hair stops and the weave begins. Even in the front. He had problems w/ his hair in later years.....and he'd sweat that tired jerri curl w/ all that dancing, so he got a wet & wavy like janet (hahaha) Y'all can't tell on the Bad video when it was normal length in black & white.....and then it was unnecessarily long when it was in color?? aww Mike, I miss u.

[19esmiopa50]

Love this man - NO one compares - he is gorgeous inside and out. Once in a lifetime entertainer. Miss him.

[drazulao]

His beauty and aura are too much to bear. It hits you like a ton of bricks. I'm shocked and speechless.

[KekkoJadenGx]

MJ is a king

[benzz2006]

1989 was a good year for him considering he didn't win any Grammys that year, but I remember he swept everything else. Go MJ.

[benzz2006]

That Best Male Urban Category was quite interesting. Brings you back to the good ole' days of music.

[cushe83]

See we support our people. you saw how the grammies did him in 88, he didn't win jack, could you imagine that, one of the most succesful albums of the past 20 years did not win one grammie on the year it arrived, how do you go from sweeping with thriller, to not winning anything thats straight up bullshit politics, but the soul train made sure they gave him the respect he deserved.

[misumike25]

@cushe83 That was B.S gram's in 89, at that time the press was really starting trash talk about MJ. He couldn't even scratch his Ass w/out it being on front page. MJ became 2 Powerful in 82, 4 a black man. The media help blew MJ up just 2 try & tear him down selling more garbage. The press & gram's r thick as thieves joining forces trying 2 take MJ Power away. But God's in Control, what he gave MJ was 4 MJ. He still came out on top. The gram's in 89 made me broke my T.V. Don't watch B.S anymore!

[makenart]

@misumike25 Tell it like it is now!

[makenart]

They robbed him like shit at the Grammy's in 89! Made me not want to ever watch that trash ever again! That was the just the beginning of all the hatred that became geared towards MJ. Makes me so pissed!

[misumike25]

@makenart Ur Welcome, Yeah the grammy's shut M.J. out big time. That's why he was honored at all the other award shows because they knew he deserved it not only because he was M.J. but he had a lot of #1 & Great hits on his Bad Album & Awesome Videos. The grammy's suck from then on in my opinion, it's nothing but a Circus 4 Clowns & tasteless Hacks. 2 hr of wasted time u can never get back, Peace Out...

[silverphantom88]

Sooo good looking. That curl in the middle of his face...*faints*

[setnosiva]

04:52 I would faint if I've seen him there!

[thesoundspeaker]

he's so cute (:

[heythanksbutnothanks]

He won them all hahaha!.....I wonder why? MJ outshines any of them by far that is why, especially around this time, he looks just like he looked in Moonwalker, gorgeous with his kiss curls :)

[thomascherokeerose]

Sorry for someof the misspelled words. its been a long day. Love to my MJ family!

[thomascherokeerose]

Mj was such a talented performer. Well, he was a genius! His talent will live far beyond him. His Thriller video, which was a mini-film was revolutionary. He was a beautiful person inside and out. When you watch him, you can't help but smile. Smile was a favorite song of Michael's. He is still making so many of us smile! Will always miss him! There will nebver be another one like him.

[TheSportsGurl23]

Michael: Thank You Eddy Murphey.

Eddie: This is yours *shows him the trophy*

Michael: Oh yea *about to grab it*

Eddie: I'll hold it.

LOL thats parts funny!!!

[TheSportsGurl23]

He looks so cute in this video!! :D



[SpecialKitaly]

[CiaraMJJanetFan]

R.I.P. MJ & Elizabeth. Two great human beings. They will always be rememebred and their legacy will last forever.

[mommypucca]

Great video!! And he mentions Cleveland School Stockton, ca..were little children were murdered. It was the first known school shooting and Michael came to the school to show his love and support. The shooting and day he came is remembered so well, because an Angel walked amongst our town for a brief moment in history!!

[iwantMJ1]

LMFAOOOO damn girls are fainting in the audience lol.. they look " OHHH !!...lol.. godamn .. I LET MJ BREAK ME OFF LOL

[Friesian4ever0704]

WOW!!!! That concert footage was off the hook; not to mention incredibly sexy. I just loved the way Michael walked on to the stage; he looked so confident. The outfit he wore that night is simply to die for. This was also the night that he was crowned the King of Pop, Rock and Soul. Michael probably never thought that title would stick for many years to come. :)

[mjis4evamine]

how else is hypervinalating? Especially after they showed that concert footage

[SiisiiLovESMJ]

GOD DAMN CAN HE BE ANY MORE SEXIER ? 0_0 *FAINTS*

[balugagie]

The true King of Pop, Rock and Soul... Mr. Michael Jackson wooooohooooo

[MiJacFan1]

[SuperCHERISHED]

Thank you KiyaKutie51 for posting this historic footage "MJJ at the Soul Train Music Awards in 1989". I adore this footage! Michael looked absolutely exquisite! His appearance was mesmerizing. As Michael became more confident in his speeches over the years he became so gracious & eloquent in his delivery. MJJ's talent was mammoth & there were so many award ceremonies to attend. I adored his strong, powerful sexy walk. God creates unique and genuine masterpieces and beloved MJJ is one indeed!

[KiyaKutie51]

@SuperCHERISHED No, thank you for watching and your kind words. (: I really appreciate your comment. And I totally agree with everything you said about him. :D

[htw4mj]

@SuperCHERISHED Wow, what an beautiful and insightful comment about Michael. Michael was one of God's masterpieces .. that is so true.

[cushe83]

@SuperCHERISHED

you know this is where he was crowned the king of pop for the first time.

[blackcathunter007]

@WackoJackoFucksKids go to hell you troll.

[TheBrownsfan596]

[dunciej]

RIP Elizabeth and Michael

[SiisiiLovESMJ]

Oh My God he was the sexiest MAN ever !

Always Has Been and always will be .. I LOVE you Michael(:

[youngMulahh3]

so ghetto what's up earl! black people always gotta do their shout outs! lol 10:51

[Darslow]

Can you imagine being that great? There is nobody on earth who's caused such mass hysteria. Elvis and the Beatles were the closest things to having that effect, but MJ, by far, was the most universal. Those people would kill for MJ. That's magic.

[rodb7]

El verdadero Rey del Pop, Rock & Soul; Michael Jackson: Elizabeth Taylor

[MsLauraJackson]

Please God, WHY was that man (Michael) so friggin' SEXY????!!!! He was THE hottest man EVER back in the day...The "Bad" era makes me want to loose my mind because Michael never looked as fine as he did then...I want him back!!!!!!!!!!!!! *lol*

[NewWorldRob]

[robertahealtheworld]
