This is post 2 of 2 in this Michael Jackson dedication weekend and I now introduce greatness. We move away from the Fashion aspect of "F.A.M.E." and place the focus on the Music and Entertainment factor. Pay no attention to the length of this video. If you haven't had the joy of viewing this clip, you're in for a huge treat and if you have seen it already, watch it again and enjoy getting those goosebumps. This is quite possibly the single greatest live performance I've ever witnessed, in person or on television. He clearly takes what was a great song 100 steps further and the last half of this video does not disappoint, I promise.
I admitted right after he died that even though I heard this song hundreds of times and recognized the greatness behind it, it didn't have that big of an impact on me until June 25th, 2009. As a teenager, I wasn't into the socially conscious Michael Jackson, but selfishly was only interested in the hit making side of him. I need not say that this is one of his best records.

Great post. All hail the King of Pop. There will never be anyone quite like him.
Amazing. My eleven year old brother has recently become obsessed with MJ, and these two are some of his favorites. And thank you for all the comments! It made my evening, xo.
O.k., this was seriously great! I have never seen anyone do those moves as well as him, and his voice, my god.
Keith: There sure won't be my good man, there sure won't be....
Michelle: He's getting into him at a great age too. I know he'll be a great fan for a long time. Your very welcomed btw.....
Diane: When I first came across this, I thought exactly the same. To sing and dance the way he did here was of legendary proportions.....
