Michael Jackson - 'We Are The World' live at World Music Awards 2006 - HD

The 2006 (18th annual) World Music Awards were held in London, England and hosted by actress and vocalist Lindsay Lohan on 15 November 2006. Performances included a Thriller recreation by Chris Brown and a children's chorus rendition of "We Are the World" with Michael Jackson. This was Jackson's final live performance (other than Michael Jackson's This Is It). Other performers included Andrea Bocelli, Beyoncé, Bob Sinclar, Dima Bilan, Elissa, Enya, Faithless, Katie Melua, Nelly Furtado, Rihanna, Tokio Hotel, and Suleman Mirza.

Presenters included Pamela Anderson, Natalie Imbruglia, Donatella Versace, Sugababes, Nicole Richie, Denise Richards and Brian McFadden.

The World Music Awards ceremony was televised in 160 countries including the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, Japan, Southeast Asia, China, Africa and the Middle East. In the United Kingdom it was broadcast on Channel 4 on 23 November 2006. In the U.S., ABC is the traditional home of the World Music Awards, but in recent years they have moved to MyNetworkTV[citation needed], which rebroadcast the 2006 show on 1 July 2009, due to that show's tributes to the recently deceased Michael Jackson.

The Diamond Award honors those recording-artists who have sold over 100 million albums during their career. Past recipients include Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Rod Stewart and Bon Jovi. This year's recipient was Michael Jackson. His most popular album, "Thriller" has sold more than 104 million copies worldwide since its release in 1982 - making it the best-selling album of all time.

2:30 Watch how he shakes all the singers' hands until he gets to center stage, then realizes the singers later down the line didn't get a chance to shake his hand ... and he turns around and continues walking down the line to be sure to shake all of their hands, too. He cared more about making sure they all got to shake his hand than he cared about taking center stage. His heart was pure gold. My heart literally holds love for Michael. What a beautiful soul. ❤

[josephrivera]

This is insane. Have never seen a single person get this much love

[oemisc]

The crowd never stopped screaming for MJ from intro to exit...that’s like almost a full 6 minutes...insanity! True power this man wielded yet he never acted he’s above anyone always lovely

[historiesmade]

There's no county in the world that doesn't like Michael Jackson. He broke boundaries. Greatest of all time

[hassamzafar]

How he shakes hands with all his crew that's the kindness we missing

[yjthelist]

The biggest artist to ever walk on earth!

[welshlad]

No artist will ever... and I mean will get that reaction in the lifetime of this planet.

[HitGist]

I’m still watching this in year 2023, and still Micheal is still the greatest artist to ever walk this earth

[VesperShadows]

Michael was a celebrity to celebrities. Nobody has ever had a status like him.

[rm-yzbk]

This man should be in the world’s history. He once ruled the whole world let’s admit it

[universesavior]

Never heard an audience louder then the singer. Truly an icon.

[staceylane]

Breaks my heart, he looks so sad behind his eyes can tell he’s been through a lot but happy to see the crowds reaction, after everything he went through after that trial, all the media nonsense throughout his career. Miss you MJ

[VuHoangNam]

I have never seen such a long ovation like this before. Michael Jackson really is and always will be the best artist to ever lived.

[kristinbrown]

I just want to cry! Michael was loved by millions; he did so much for our world. It is beyond sad that he died so young!

[jagdeepkaul]

To be honest, Michael Jackson didn't have to do a damn thing. He could have just stood there and the audience would still go wild. Just his presence alone is enough to make fans wild, very few people in the world have that kind of energy. He really was that famous

[ce]

Ohhh Michael - how we miss you. He ain't even gotta do stuff but just show face and people are fainting, crying etc. He was then talented beyond his years. There will never be another like him in this entire UNIVERSE/WORLD ever.

[kaayokabai]

Nobody else but him.. The real King of music, entertainment, performance.. the greatest

[damianuoho]

Sometimes I wonder if Michael was a human being or a blessing to this world that someone like him walked on our planet. Not only because of his music but for his whole personality and what he gave to that world

[musicvicthor]

The greatest artist of all time, we'll never see anyone with such fame anywhere in the world again. We'll never see someone who can make people faint just by stepping on stage.

This is how many people want Michael Jackson back
