Why did you break down?Michael Jackson was accused of sexually abusing two other boys,after being aquited of other acts of sex with young boys, by a jury.
Look at square one documentary Jordy chandler admits he wasn't guilty. Safechuck and Wade Robson are not credible. But Stevie wonder nay not be blind. Do I don't know what to make of that
The best performance because it's so real and it's also Stevie calling out everyone who helped destroy Michaels reputation throughout the years. The lyrics are deep
Ain’t that the mf truth ? Last song was a , “ fuck you people” , with passion that only Stevie could muster for someone he truly loved . He defended michael, with his song choice and with vocals that resembles a sermon .. to the point that I bet you even mike’s critics wept .
One of the best performances I’ve ever seen and heard. “They Won’t Go” he wrote in the late 70’s off his Fulfillingness’ First Finale album. When I watched this and heard those notes on the piano begin from the first song, I was already emotional and then he just nails it with so much heart.
It's scary how talented Stevie is. His and Michael's voices are at such a high level.. they're pretty much unmatched vocalists too within their genres and so distinct. Unique, very very powerful with great range.
I remember the night this happened. Everyone was effected, every club in the country was playing his music. People on the streets blasting his music in the middle of they day. It was a public understanding we were all effected. That was in England.
I remember walking down Sutton high street in London and every store was playing his music. The high street was deserted. 2009 is the saddest year in music history
I'm in England too. Look on RU-vid for video of Stevie wonder he appears to catch s microphone stand pushed over v By Paul McCartney and alit of celebrities claim he isn't blind.
@@akuma4u she didn't say Michael changed everything when he died. she said When Michael died everything changed. and if every second something changes then after Michaels Death there were also things changing because the world is in a constant state of change. so you basically rekt yourself.
Stevie wonder was arguably one of the only musicians that did a Michael Jackson memorial just because he missed him and not for any album promotion or something
Oh my gosh! Those artists who used his death for album promotion must be so sick and fame-hungry. So low. It just speaks of the kind of character they have. What a disgrace.
I rembember that period of time very well too, cause my friend died at the age of 23 or 24. I am really sad because of him, cause as the time passes, only members of his familly and few friends recall him. On the other hand, Michael will live in people's mind forever. RIP my close friend and Michael
When I visited the tomb of Michael Jackson a year ago, I sat outside and played this video on my phone and had a private moment remembering the King of Pop. Rest in Peace Michael: we can't help but love you forever.
I remember cracking on the ‘Michael why didn’t you stay’ bit. It’s strange how your heart can break for someone you didn’t ever meet or no personally. All these years on, although i miss the magic man that was Michael Jackson, i’m glad he is finally at piece. Forever King! ❤
part of what makes this performance so incredible is that he is on the absolute edge of cracking the whole performance, which makes it that much heavier. You can tell it's right there, but he keeps composed and gives a DEEP and soul stirring musical goodbye to his friend. Absolutely stunning.
Sometimes you can take the sorrow and the pain and channel it into the music so that you feel the emotions but they don't break you. After all, you can't sing and cry, so if you can focus on singing, sometimes you can get the tears to stop. Only sometimes, though; sometimes, it doesn't work.
He broke down at the 25th Anniversary of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame when performing The Way You Make Me Feel. Being sad doesn't mean you'd necessary break down when being filmed, it's an emotion, it hits whenever it would.
Stevie wonder is all we got left. This performance is beautiful...i remember being pregnant with my first child when Michael passed as I saw this memorial on TV; I was balling...
@@chrissimpson9846 and Tina Turner, Patti LaBelle, Little Richard, Diana Ross Smokey Robinson Berry Gordy Liza Minnelli Paul Macartney are left.. list goes on
I miss Michael so much. I loved him as a child and still love him at 60 years old. Oh how I wish he was still here. I know that is selfish of me because I know that he is happy in heaven. He loved so much and was loved so much by the entire world. I love you Michael.
Stevie Wonder has worked with every legend the music industry has seen and he has surpassed all of them his memorial will be the saddest because most of his friends have passed.
Clement Kee he gave it to his friend Michael when he was just starting a solo career like a gift!! He was very generous all most like a father figure 😞🥺
Absolutely incredible performance! I search for this all the time! (And never left a comment). Can’t believe it’s been 12, going on 13 years since his passing. Anybody else watching in 2022?
I cried so much.. i didn‘t know i could cry so much for someone I didn‘t know personally. But i just grew up with him.. he was always there, always present. Like a big part of your life somehow
I totally agree. I think I was still in shock until I watched this and they brought out that gold casket, and I just started crying because I knew it was real then. He's the only celebrity who I cried about passing away. I grew up listening to him as well, during the 80s and 90s. Never saw him in person ever.
Stevie is such a genius, he sings amazingly along with the piano skills. And he does all that while blind. It's amazing. I was crying watching this, I miss Michael so much...
I was only 12 when MJ died but i remember seeing how sad my parents were during this performance. I’ll never forget it. I still come back to this video from time to time because it holds a special place in my heart and memory.
federico arena fear not.... Robert Glasper, Vula, Esperanza Spalding, Erykah Badu, D’Angelo, Mint Condition, Louis Cole & many more great musicians are alive & well doing their thing in this strange new world of digital music 🎵✌️
When they rolled that casket out there I cried so hard....Stevie's song was on point because of how the media and Santa Barbara DA treated him....he was such a kind and gentle spirit.
The most soulful amazing heartfelt performance I've ever seen in my life😭❤️ It's beautiful to see that Stevie was one of a very few people that truly loved Michael and never doubted him all the way till end so sweet.... Cuz poor Michael didn't have enough of that sadly 😔
Stevie Wonder has to be the most amazing human God ever created. If I were in grief over the death of a loved one, what Stevie says before he sings would bring me such tremendous comfort. When Stevie says, "I do know that God is good", I completely believe it irrespective of prior reservations. And who can sing that well at his age???
I just lost my Dad this year as unexpectedly as we lost Micheal and it felt like he was talking directly to me at the beginning, I was brought to tears but it’s so comforting. Stevie is the greatest of all time in many ways
@@andrewstormer1308 so sorry you are enduring the loss of your dad. Grief is a butt kicker of the most epic proportions. I know your dad is watching over you, with love and guidance, from a far better place than we are now. He is with you now and you will be fully reunited one day.
That was simply beautiful perfection. We are blessed. Thank God for the abilities, talents, and gifts He's entrusted us with as human beings. We appreciate the people who choose to share theirs with us. It reminds us of His power and grace while allowing us to embrace and feel.
Every now and again, I will remember my immense love for Michael. And I'll eventually come to this amazing tribute. Because out of all of the performances that night, there is no doubt in my mind that this was the most heartfelt and genuine. I love you Stevie, and I'll always love you Michael. I remember wearing my white frilly socks, waking up at 3am to watch this memorial that year. 8 years soon.
Im from Australia so I stayed up 3/4am watching as a huge fan.when Stevie came out & sang this song I literally balled my eyes out.sunrise came & when memorial finshed my eyes was so puffy from crying.it just felt like your childhood singer who you watched all your life has gone.always will love MJ❤️
Jesus this is so sincere and still makes me cry every time I watch it…through it ALL he still is loved 🥰 Rip Micheal Jackson This song is very personal to Stevie
One of the saddest days in Music history. My Heart still Breaks For you MJ. Im so sorry how you we're used and murrdered. I will Love you forever. 6/25/21.
This interpretation was so deep, I cried 10 tissues and when I listen to this song nowadays, I immediately do cry. This baroque and romantic form language of music makes me feel shaking. What a dramatic performance. ...
This video makes me cry every time I watch it. I purchased the Poetic Justice soundtrack just because of this track back when the cd first came out. I miss you MJ
6:16 was so powerful it was enough to make the hair on the back of my neck stand straight up. Its soo tragic how Michaels end ended up happening. RIP my brother.
@@BardiaSaeedi Hey mr after the fact. Like you knew before the fact.. the only reason you know is because an hbo doc told you what’s up. Am I denying it?? No. Not at all. I saw this performance as it happened In 2009. Almost 10 years before rhe doc came out. It’s easy to yell at someone when they didn’t know at the time and assume they did. As a matter of fact my best friend OD’d and died of a drug overdose, and I play this song sometimes to think of him. Tryin to post an opinion on someone who you don’t even know, from years ago, like I should have known…. makes you look like an unenlightened jackass. Good job on your critique.
I was deployed to Iraq when I heard About Michael Jackson had passed... I watched his memorial service in tears. It's as unbelievable now in 2018 as it was then smh😢
Its june 22,2019 , and it hurts so much as if it just happened yesterday damn.... watching his memorial breaks my heart every time. We all miss you michael , keep resting in peace #mjfam always have your back here #mjinnocent
Michael..1 year today the whole world was watching this. I ll never forget..it was one of the saddest day of my life cause deep inside i was praying that this nightmare was not true. But whe i saw the casket....i still can't help it ...i can't accept that you, this magnificent man left us and without the world apologize to what they did to you. I am sorry sweetie. we are here sending and feeling all the love we'll always have for you. RIP - that's all for L.O.V.E. and love lives forever
Stevie wonder has a voice that you can feel in your soul. Not sure if that makes sense, but that how it feels to me when I hear him. I was just listening to an album of his the other day and I found myself shaking my head and smiling just appreciating his amazing voice. His choice of singing 'They Won't Go When I Go' was so on point! Michael had all these fake 'friends', backstabbers, media slander, and those wanting to see him fail, that he dealt with and rose above. 'I Never Dreamed You'd Leave In Summer', such a beautiful song that I already loved at that time. But hearing it in this context, powerful and just really got to me. Crying then, crying now. I'm so grateful Stevie Wonder could be there to share his voice and help everyone grieve a man who held a place in the hearts of millions of people. ❤️
stevie was called a supernatural phenomenal singer when he was just a little boy and i guess that titled never left his category .i cried like baby that day he sang this song still do 7 years later ,rip mj,
I remember the day of June 25 2009, my family including myself was at my grandmothers house and watching the news when they pronounced that he wasn’t breathing then like an hour later pronounced him dead, I broke down into tears 😭 this was my first heartbreak ❤️🩹 I was extremely hurt even tho I didn’t know him personally, I felt his spirit, personality, and emotions throughout his music, through his performances, Michael was truly and will always be the world’s greatest entertainer of all time. From the time he was dancing to the washing machine, to This Is It. It’s been 12 years & im still mourning and in disbelief. Michael I will always love you and will forever be grateful & blessed to even hear your great voice and music. Thank you Michael RIP my king 👑 😭❤️
Bless Stevie wonder heart I know him & Michael was super close. I know it wasn't easy singing this but he kept it together. I love Michael so much and miss him like crazy. I will never forget him or get over us losing him. I don't think I even watched the whole funeral. Too emotional for me & alot of people. And still is😥 pls stay with us Stevie for as long as you possibly can. You all we got left. I can't lose another idol. #ripmichaeljackson #loveyoualways
I AGREE 100%...this was perfect. I closed my office door at work, as i watched it on my computer...didnt want my staff to see my tears...Stevie reminds us of what real talent is.....
