6 Iconic Performances In Remembrance Of Legend Michael Jackson by vicky85(f): 8:18am On Jun 25, 2015 |
The King of Pop died six years ago today, but in his wake, left fans a career of incredible live moments Six years ago today, Michael Jackson died — but the trailblazing musical performances live on through the wonder of video sharing sites. In his career, Jackson earned 13 Grammys, 26 American Music Awards and sold an estimated 400 million records worldwide. But his on-stage performances were just as lauded as his in-studio ones. In remembrance of the King of Pop,we compiled six iconic song and dance routines from the ultimate song and dance man. The first video inspired a generation of fans to try to Moonwalk, but nobody quite did it like Jackson. The crowd at the 25 anniversary of Motown show went crazy for the second or two that Jackson broke out his signature move for the first time. Re-witness the original Moonwalk in this iconic performance of "Billie Jean": Jackson could captivate a crowd simply by standing there. No performer has ever wasted more time doing nothing during a Super Bowl halftime show, and still put it was considered one of the greatest performances of all-time. Once more, it was "Billie Jean" that really got the California crowd excited, but the impressive set list also included "Black or White" and "We are the World." It was certainly the highlight of the game for Buffalo Bills fans. Perhaps the King of Pop occasionally overdid it a little with the theatrics (and the pants), but the fans ate it up anyway. His catalog and performances spoke for themselves. To date, nearly 22 million people have watched the following video — a Munich performance of "Smooth Criminal" from Jackson's History World Tour — on YouTube. The clip features the incredibly angled forward-lean move that Jackson made famous (and would make a lot of amateur impersonators fall flat on their faces). Slash of Guns N' Roses joined Jackson onstage for this memorable MTV performance. It included lots of steam, lots of wind and lots of hits. Jackson also pulled out all of his best moves for the memorable set. A winded Jackson took to the microphone to address the crowd in the middle of the following clip. "Some of us like to play it safe and take each day as it comes," Jackson opined, before he performed "Dangerous." He concluded, "Some of us like to take that crazy walk on the wild side. So, for those of us that like living dangerously, this one's for you." Written by Justpye: pyeworld..in/2015/06/6-iconic-performances-in-remembrance-of.html?m=1

He might not have invented the 'moonwalk', but he sure made it popular. Damn, this dude can dance. Finally, as far as music goes, no one has had more influence on the world stage as M-J. From regular meetings/invitations with world leaders, to religious heads, to charity etc. He inspired and influenced so many people. Wished he didn't have vitiligo and remained a black man. He sure was more handsome then. R.I.P |
