#MichaelJackson’s 1995 MTV Video Music Awards performance is widely considered one of the most legendary live medleys in pop music history. On September 7, 1995, at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, Jackson took over the stage for a 15-minute solo showcase that seamlessly blended his biggest classic hits with tracks from his newly released album, HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I. To honor his monumental impact on the network, MTV even temporarily rebranded itself as "MJTV" for the day.
Yall do realize that the Micheal Jackson movie is supposed to be a light hearted surface level movie .. the type of details yall are looking for will never be released in a public movie for legal reasons.. just enjoy it for what it is
Michael Jackson made a shocking appearance in a 2006 award night, for the first time since the court pronounced him NOT GUILTY and dropped all cases about him.
The noise in the arena was so loud that Michael Jackson's voice wasn't audible, despite him using a microphone.
Michael Jackson joined the teenagers to sing the song "We are the world"
He felt sooo happy seeing his fans again, as he threw his jacket to the crowd in excitement.
This moment reminded him that despite the challenges he was facing, he still had a lottt of supporters and people who deeply respected and believed in him.
Before this day, the last public stage appearance he made was in 2001

I appreciate you very much for taking your time to read, watch and remember Michael Jackson during this period 🫂
May his legacy continue to go higher.
Thank you very much
The fact that you would rather completely disconnect from someone you claim to care for than face the reality of your actions reveals so much about your character and limitations. It's not just that you hurt that person, it’s the fact you continue to choose your own emotional comfort over acknowledging the amount of damage you've caused. It's a like second betrayal on top of the original damage
Somebody said don't be afraid to spend money on concert tickets and travel. Be afraid of growing old and realizing the only place you ever went was work.
And I couldn't agree more.
What does this mean? To mourn with dignity? Whose dignity? Yours or ours? Have you seen the Legio Maria dance? Have you seen the names we use to describe our lovers?:
"Chunya" is MY HEART.
My wife is "Min Oda", which translates to the MOTHER OF MY HOUSE.
"Jaber" is THE PRETTY ONE.
"Rambanya" is THE ONE WITH THE GAP BETWEEN HER TEETH.
A lover was never just a lover, God never just God, and DEATH NEVER JUST DEATH.
Luo is a robust culture and it is reflected in its practices and language. And this robustness will be executed in life, love, worship, and death. More so, in the death of its icons, because that is when the spirits are at their optimal. If your spirits lead you to eat ngumu and call it a day, do just that. Don't bother us with this bland dignity. We know our culture. We know what is expected of us. And that we will do- WITHOUT APOLOGY!
This culture does not exist to appease many presidents and their suits. It existed long before them and will outlive them all. Those who matter are here. And we matter most because we exist in the culture.
You go mourn with dignity kwenu. When that day comes, you can tell us how to mourn. If all it takes is a groan and a few nose blows, we will groan with you. Or -at worst - ignore, if our spirits forbid the underwhelming theatre. We will not tell you your ngumus are too stale - or your tea too thin - if that is all it takes to escort your loved one into the next world. Each according to their capacity. Each according to the weight of its dead.
We do not mourn for the visitors. We mourn our dead. Those who wish to join are welcome, but their presence is not compelled. And will certainly not be missed.
We carry leaves to waft the evil spirits away. We wail to lament the injustice of death. In rolling, we are not trying to scare you. It is a protest of this dark cloud that has befallen us. Don't be so afraid: it is just a dirge.
