This man was selling out countries...not stadiums..nobody can compare...NONE

[valoss]

No videos, no pyrotechnics, no backup dancers...just pure MAGIC.

Michael had the Orchestra clapping in the background 😂

He became immortal. It’s been more than a decade since his passing and his cultural presence is still the same.

This performance may just be the greatest moment in music history. You had to witness this to understand the power it had.

[Intrepid]

You could not take your eyes off him. A mesmerizing performance. Talent beyond belief.

[elongatedmusk]

This is like literally watching a king be crowned

[tylerkeller]

I don't think Gen - z kids fully understand how influential Michael Jackson is in the music they listen to today.
The man knocked earth off of its axis with this dance routine and every other pop music star performing today, gets at least part of their style from him.

[Chuckson]

Remember going to school the next day and this is all everyone could talk about. Michael was the ULTIMATE.

[SeptemberVirgo]

The most underrated thing about this performance is the fact that Fred Astaire called Michael Jackson personally to sing his praises for his dancing.

[sensorylimb]

This is one of the greatest moments in music history the most iconic for sure

[ANOOPBAL]

Jackson writes in biography how he was supposed to stay on his toes for a few seconds after he swings around right after his moon walk. And he was really disappointed that he kept thinking about it even after a standing ovation. That is perfection for you!

It was 1983. The world had never seen anything like it (Other than his previous performing). I'm 52 and still remember the entire routine; probably could still do 80% of it.

I was 5 and this is one of my first memories. My whole family (mom, dad, 3 older sisters) watched this together live on TV and were in complete awe. This entire special was the epitome of Black Excellence.

[Carnage_sGamingChannel]

Iconic performance by one of the greatest artists of all time

[erickomondi]

This will forever remain the BEST Billie Jean performance Michael ever did.

I was in Africa when my mother came back from the states with a beta max video tape.. she said I have something special I want y’all to see… we all sat in her room pack with almost the entire neighborhood family and kids including me as a kid… it played we saw it and everyone froze speechless happy excited joyous confused out of words…. I personally thought this is magic… nobody knew what to say… MICHAEL JACKSON YOU ARE THE GREATEST EVER WALK THIS PLANET…. I when to school the next day… all of us was practicing the moon walk… our parents bought fabric so the tailor could sew our clothes like Michael Jackson… the next year Michael Jackson fewer hit Africa Liberia to be precise… his fashion pants became a it… pant stopping at the ankle… we used to called it GQ… meaning good quality….. MJ LIVED IN AFRICA IN THE 80’S … that’s powerful he and the performance was and still is… RIP MJ…

This performance changed everything about popular music as we know it and there isn’t a genre that hasn’t been touched by it since. The moonwalk was the paradigm shift

[BigBaller-hedz]

Greatest entertainer in the world, nothing more to say.

[dirtyface-capone]

The way he put away the imaginary comb/brush...Too smooth.

Young people will never understand the impact of this performance because many people inspired by Michael among others have come along and showed similar talents. As for that night, we were all completely blown away because we never saw someone move like that and right when the song was on the brink of blowing up huge. This is the meaning of legendary
