Michael Jackson live at the 1995 MTV video awards (R) .. ten minutes of magic.
More than two months after he died, Michael Jackson dominated the MTV Video Music Awards as some of the industry's biggest stars, led by Janet Jackson and Madonna, paid homage to the "king."

1995 Video Music Awards
The previous year's return to New York felt good, so we decided to stay close to home with the 1995 MTV Video Music Awards, broadcasting live once again from Radio City Music Hall. But when it came to choosing a host, we ditched the trailer park chic of Rosanne Barr for something more learned, picking so-much-smarter-than-you (and us) comedian Dennis Miller to lord over the VMA proceedings.
Using long words we didn't know and delivering rapid-fire jokes we admit we still aren't swift enough to understand, Miller nonetheless made us laugh and kept the evening moving along. Not that we really needed his help, as the '95 VMA show was an action-packed fun fest that equaled no other.
Once again, Michael Jackson opened the VMAs. But instead of laying a really creepy kiss on Lisa Marie Presley, he instead stuck to what we've always loved about MJ: performing. He whipped out a medley of hits "Billie Jean," "Beat It," "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough" and "Black or White." On the first song, Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash surprised the crowd when he joined Michael onstage to lay down a few smokin' riffs. Not content with performing a medley of so many hits, Jackson also laid out full versions of "Dangerous" and "You Are Not Alone." Not a bad way to kick off the show.
Michael was also a winner that night, sharing three Moonmen with his sister, Janet Jackson. The superstar sibling pair's "Scream" netted the Best Dance Video, Best Art Direction and Best Choreography awards
