The 30th Grammy Awards (1988)!
"The 30th Grammy Awards" were held March 2, 1988. They recognized accomplishments by musicians from the previous year. at the 30th Annual Grammy Awards 1988, Michael Jackson gave a truly awe-inspiring performance of "The Way You Make Me Feel" and The "Man in the Mirror" one of the best performances of Michael Jackson thats what Ive ever seen and found :)
About Songs!
"The Way You Make Me Feel" is a song written by American recording artist Michael Jackson and recorded for his seventh album Bad (1987). Produced by Jackson and Quincy Jones, it was released as the album's third single in 1987 and became another number-one hit from the album on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. It was performed a few times on Jackson's tours, and was most famously performed live at the 1988 Grammy Awards. Michael wrote the song at the request of his mother, Katherine, who wanted a song with "a shuffling kind of rhythm".
"Man in the Mirror" is a song by Michael Jackson. It peaked at number one in the United States when released as a single in the spring of 1988 off his seventh solo album, Bad. It is one of Jackson's most critically acclaimed songs and it was nominated for Record of the Year at the Grammy Awards. The song garnered massive airplay and topped the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks. It was only a moderate hit in the UK at the time of its release, peaking at number 21 and becoming the only single from Bad not to reach the UK Top 20 on first release. However, on July 5, 2009, following the news of Jackson's death, the song charted at number two in the official UK Singles Chart, having re-entered the chart at 11 the previous week.
The song was composed by Siedah Garrett (who can be heard singing in the background with Jackson) and Glen Ballard. Jackson added background vocals from Garrett, The Winans and the Andrae Crouch Choir, which gave the song its distinctive sound.
Garrett had the idea for the song when she was driving to the recording session for "I Just Can't Stop Loving You". On her way, she saw a face in the mirror of her car, and this gave her the idea to write a song titled "Man In The Mirror" as an addition to Jackson's upcoming album.
Arranged with a gospel choir, a year after David Bowie used the same device for "Underground", from the fantasy film Labyrinth, other popular artists at the time who had tracks featuring gospel choirs include Debbie Gibson, Guns N' Roses and Madonna for her 1989 number one hit "Like a Prayer". Jackson would utilize a gospel choir again several years later on his hit "Will You Be There". Siedah Garrett also sang on Jackson's "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" and was one of the backing vocalists for Madonna's Re-Invention Tour of 2004.
Jackson also performed "Man In The Mirror" song as the ending of the concert during the Bad World Tour's second leg, and regularly during the Dangerous World Tour. In the latter, the song was accompanied by stuntman Kinnie Gibson dressed as Jackson flying out of the arena in a jetpack. On July 16, 1996, Jackson also performed "Man in the Mirror" at the Royal Concert Brunei for the last time prior to the United We Stand benefit concert.

Another request from our friend Perez Hilton and so so beautiful on the kids. This has always been one of my favorite Fleetwood Mac songs, and the kids do it incredible justice. Tori Amos also has covered this many times as well as the Dixie Chicks and countless others. Of course no one sings this like Stevie Nicks, but we hope she would be proud. Cheers to the chorus for putting this rendition out into the universe, and of course, to Perez himself, who asked for a Fleetwood Mac song. Great choice!! A landslide was never such a beautiful thing. The part that tugs my heartstrings the most? "Even children get older.... I'm getting older too."
The PS22 Chorus is a kids choir of 60 kids from a new york city public elementary school. They are slowly but surely taking over the world..... and we who are fortunate enough to work with them, feel quite blessed. And of course, thanks to Perez for all of your unbelievable support for the past 2 years! Keep those requests a'comin! :)
