Michael Jackson wins Lifetime Achievement Award at the 1989 American Music Award. Michael begins by thanking Eddie Murphy. He also thanks God, his parents, and all the people who helped him get into show business.
Yep. After successfully completing his Bad World Tour, Michael himself, stated that he didn't want to tour ever again because of the rigorous strain it caused his body from scheduled rehearsals, traveling, to jetlag, hours of performances, and his adrenaline levels being through the roof. No wonder he was ready to retire at 30. He even mentioned how he wanted to transition to filmmaking.
I dont know if you noticed .. but he started thanking God, then Mother , then Father and then the rest... very perfect. very accordingly ... I have so much respect for this guy.
"Eddie can you lift it up please ?" *giggles* *giggles* *giggles* "Eddie ! I need your help." *giggles* He's so sweet and cute and generous and his shyness makes it cuter . Love you Michael !
Gabriel Cundari Not all humans are social, not everyone enjoys being social, this has nothing to do with being retarded or anything bad, some people claim it to be, yet it is not. But this time it was true, he was giggling because of awkwardness.
Mans came out in cotton, silk, leather, latex, silk, suede, steel, aluminum, gold, bronze and silver. Truly the greatest entertainer the human race will ever see.
I feel like if artists did thank god these days, it would become controversial or they would get so much backlash on Twitter from atheist, because that’s just how people on the internet are and everyone has to make a big deal out of everything.
Anthony Owusu He was an Amazing person and someone who puts God first and worships the Lord our God which I love. He’s an amazing Christian and Entertainer
Michael had something special. His beauty came from within and that is the reason he remained gorgeous until the day he died. We love you MJ, always have, always will
The man was gorgeous and he could dress like no other he had style and pure sexiness. No one I mean no one will ever be like Michael. I love you and I miss you Michael.
This world didn’t deserve him. He was an innocent soul who wanted to spread love and joy while fighting for actual social causes but people put his flaws under a microscope
I think this was the peak of his career, and he seemed happy, healthy and confident. All MJ wanted was to make the world a better place and I don't think he would've ever done inappropriate stuff with boys. We need more people like him in the world. And he looked the best at this time too. Of course this was 4 months before I was born >_> so I obviously have zero memory of when Bad was new. lol
Yeah, he definitely dominated the entire 80s. I mean to be honest, Thriller was the start of "Michael Jackson" as we know it. You know, the best selling album of all time definitely was the first peak of his career. And Bad came out and got him to an even higher place. By the time Dangerous came out, Michael was the most well known and praised artist. And when HIStory was out, he was just as loved and caused as much as excitement as he did in his Thriller prime. Then the completely false allegations were pursued for the sole purpose of money (court evidence) and it went down from there. Even though he was proven to be nothing but innocent in a court based on FACTS, the ignorant public went with the media's side, and it's funny because once the media found of his innocence, they just dropped the whole topic. Those trials really damaged him as a person, let alone his image. I remember someone saying he had to do a whole show with the world thinking he was a child molester. Imagine that. We know for a FACT that if those greedy vultures hadn't surrounded Michael, he wouldn't have faced charges, and ultimately would have been able to give us so..so much more. He would've been so much more happier and avoided such depression states all together, which included dependence on pills to take away the tremendous amount of pain he went through. Can you imagine? It just could've been. Everyone treated such a great man like shit, until his death of course. And it's shameful on our parts, because someone so mastered and great like Michael will never, ever come again. People like Michael are very rare, and should be nothing but cherished. But the public surely weren't used to someone who thought so differently, so richly of simple things, so fascinated by the simple aspects to life, so willing to help anyone in need, so wondrous of magic..escapism, which automatically classified him as "weird". That shows the shallow and judgmental minds of society, and that is our wrong.. not Michael's. A quote that pretty much sums all of this up well : "Yes he had a complicated life, but that's the price paid when you reach the height of fame he was at. He was, and is, one of the greatest of the greats. If you really dug into his story, it wouldn't be hard to understand many of his choices he made or his attempts to cope with being the most famous human being on the planet. The real tragedy is that the U.S., in particular, was completely unable to deal with a human being so creatively, brilliantly, and awesomely unique. It was never Michael. It was the world, and that's the shameful part of it all." - Mark Bentley
Stephen R I absolutely agree. The world needs more people like Michael. Whenever someone makes a crack at him being a pedo I just wanna punch them in the face. I hate it. He would never hurt any child like that. Those trials really killed him - his spirit anyway - I was in tears when I heard he had died. I couldn't stop crying. - I was born towards the end of '90 in October so... my era of Michael was pretty much Dangerous. -
Tai R Can I just hug you for this? You summed it up quite perfectly and I can't tell you how much you warmed my heart - not exaggerating at all. Gawd, love you for this! I'm so freakin glad that there are people like you, sophisticated and kind-hearted. You can be proud of yourself. :)
I just love how folks are mostly talking about how fine and beautiful he is in the comment section!!!! You people better recognize his immaculate beauty for once. Cosmetic procedures or not; light or dark; he was still freaking gorgeous!!! That smile. 😍
This is just the cutest!!! Michael was so sweet and polite and just a gentle soul. What a shame some people in this world didn't understand his genius. But, what a gift he was. So glad I lived at the same time he did. Kids younger then 15, will never get to see just how much he impacted people from all over the world. Love you MJ. Always will. ❤💋
+Khaliah Amy I used to feel that way growing up too!! I wished I had been born in the 70's so I could have been old enough to go see MJ in concert. I never got too -_-...But I got to be a 90's baby and see his awesomeness =). At least we have his music =D
+SilverKitten1 Yeahh i got a little dose of it, i was born in '97 & hate it SOOO much .. i cry often cause I really wanted to at least be his friend.. he was very lonely & misunderstood . people hurt him alot ,.. ( i feel that the people that hurt him weren't black at all) other races of people who hated on him for being black & the biggest star . i just wanna go back now ... all these artists today don't even have really good music or have a heart like Michael 💔😔😫
He is such a beautiful person. Remained humble till the day he passed. Michael you are some place special in all of our hearts. We love you so so much. Never have I ever seen someone as humble as you; I can hear it as you speak. You're amazing. You're beautiful, your personality is beautiful, your voice is beautiful, you truly changed music forever.
@@mortgagefinancing5558 shut it idiot. If u don't like Michael why u watching his videos, if u are tryna spread the fake tabloid shit and Jordan Chandler crap over here then that ain't happening my dear.
Mortgage Financing comments like these always ruin the mood for me in every MJ video 😤😑 like why y’all haters even WATCHING THE GODDAMN VIDEO IF U THINK HES A “pEdO” SHOULDNT YOU JUST EXIT AND LEAVE 🖕🏾
Lol michael and eddie were genuine. That whole mic thing was hilarious. Seemed like michael liked being around people that treated him like a person and not celebrity
The greatest artist to ever be born in any century. The greatest man and person to ever grace this world. I shed a tear watching this and it broke my heart that we only have a memory of you. Rest in Peace Legend of Legends
This man needed a strong guidance in his life. Someone who said no and who could scatter the evil people away. You have to be careful how good you are.
MJ' was never the same after he lost his manager and best friend Frank Dileo. Frank used to be ruthless against anyone who tried to take advantage or use MJ. After he lost Frank all the vultures took a piece of MJ.
@@rhuiden4086 the problem was frank was also one of the ppl who ruined his life personally not professionally , he was too involved in mikes personal life he didn’t have any privacy so Michael fired him I think there’s only a handful of people Mike considered close and ACTUALLY trust worthy everyone wanted something from him one way or another
@@ROHIT-jy6uj No. Adult MJ was always fine.. it was his physique, smile, big brown eyes and sweetness. It has nothing to do with plastic surgery... And even all that surgery (the worst was 40-45yrs) he was still a hot Daddy 🔥
This shows Michael had a sense of humor about himself. Eddie made a lot of jokes about Michael in his stand-up specials, and yet they were still friends.
Michael and Eddie are wearing the same suit Michael's just looks better because he Michael-fied it!!! Man did that man know how to dress he could make the strangest things match and he always looked hot and gorgeous as hell in everything he wore. I love how Michael and Eddie always teased each other it was cute. Eddie would always try to fluster Michael up and make him giggle...lol. There will never be another Michael Jackson and I know his legacy will last for generations to come.
My God Michael Jackson is drop dead gorgeous! His smile his looks his clothes. His sweetness is so pure and his laugh and shyness too adorable. And Eddie Murphy is so bad, he should've helped Michael. This is one of My favourites! 😂 ❤️👑🎵🌎🙏🏽😘 man I miss you MJ and I love you so much. Thank you for your music I love and appreciate you.
The whole time Michael was talking I couldn't stop thinking about how perfect of an impression Eddie does of him in "Delirious" it's crazy how accurate it is!
He is so friendly and kindness.He has a good heart!!He missing children time in hislife that why he try to help and made everythings for children.He is a great man❤
He is so humble and you know,only real kings can be like that!!! He is the king without a crown,he is still in our heart even after 12 years of his passing away..he is still MJ,T H E K I N G O F P O P ! ! !
Im glad im not the only one who noticed how hot and otherworldly his eyes looked right there after he thanked god. you can see it in his eyes, like he really was given his talents from god
I’m 31 and back then I wasn’t born yet. He passed away the same year me and my now husband got together in 2009 the whole blocked played his music that whole night. It was such a tragic day and night.
With anyone else praising God I'd say "oh what a sellout". But with Michael I know it is a genuine thank you and he's probably the only one who truely meant it and not just a ploy for positive attention
I was born on 89 too and it makes me so mad I wouldn’t loved to be born earlier so I could’ve actually met him in the bad era cause daanm he was fine 😍
It's amazing to see how trend setting and record holding works he had done...And always remains the most shy , simple and kind soul ever .....Miss u MJ
Aw he seems like such a kind and sweet man, I don’t believe anything the media says about him, you can tell just by looking at him and his manners that he’s a good person I wish more people believed that too 😔
It actually made total sense for Michael to ask Eddie to help him with the mic stand since he only had 1 hand free while holding the award. You think if michael could possibly do it himself with one hand, he wouldn't have? Michael has been adjusting mic stands since he could walk. But Eddie is so funny he knew he could use that for a laugh.
