Michael Jackson’s Grammy performance was absolutely epic and to think he was only 29 years old here and was so seasoned at what he was doing
29 years old is the age I expect him to be this great
Mj been perform since the age of 5...
Exactly
There will never be anyone else like him.
✨👌💯
Janet Jackson 1987 should be here. She was the first artist to ever perform with a head mic at the Grammys, and she did a backflip on stage too. And she did the entire thing in heels and got a standing ovation. You even included her in the intro.
🤷🏾♂️
@cakes3958 yet she was in the intro ... strange ... lady gaga with elton john was pretty epic too and that wasn’t on here either ...
Agreed! I thought for sure it would be in the top 10 🤷♂️
Miley Cyrus Flower performance at the 66th GRAMMY...winning the record of the year...
Michael Jackson’s great performance ever 🔥🔥🔥
Michael is the goat of everything bro 😂😂😂
There is literally no topping him. And nobody will ever come close to the fame that he still has to this day. People try comparing Taylor swift to MJ level of fame. Like Taylor goes to football games and gets some videos taken of her MJ went to a basketball game and they had to shut it down. Lol Not hating on Taylor swift just saying.
😎👍
I agree that Michael is on list 1 in the best Grammy performance, the moves he does while singing are not easy.and never forget performance at grammy🤧
He was lipsinging but when you are the King you can do what you want
That Daft Punk reveal during Get Lucky had me screaming with joy! I love Daft Punk!
I think Santana and Rob Thomas's performance of Smooth should have been on this list!
Believe it ir not, Whitney didn't get a standing ovation for that performance. The audience was dead apparently.
Christina Aguilera is such a legendary artist. She’s got it all. Not surprised she’s twice on this list. Queen!
This is a mans world performance shouldve been top 3!!
@@ladygaga81ful Honestly, it should have been number 1.
Legendary? Lol
@@jeonjungkookie1209 Yes, legendary. You know how to read. Yeeey.
@@PayneMaxxYAS! Xtina has always been one of my top fav vocalists of all time! Christina’s voice comes every once in a life time.
Xtina's this is a man's world cover never fails at giving me goosebumps.
The last note…. Shoulda been top 3
the performance that establish her as a legend 🔥
@@ricoyudha1788AMEN
Yes! 2007 Baby! Legendtina
Now add Luke Combs and Tracy Chapman singing Fast Car together that was amazing and will be remembered for a long time.
Top 5 for sure needs age but could be top 2
Absolutely yes. Possibly could be at the top of the list.
Recency bias
The music and dance of Michael Jackson will always remain phenomenal. You can get all kinds of collaborations with other artists veteran and new coming together performing flawlessly, but a solo artist like Michael? He can do it all.
Yes Michael! Well deserved...With 4.8 Billion Fans all over the world. He truly was and will always be the king! We love you...Rest in peace...❤
You talk too much, let's hear some of the songs too!
Yea I gave up after the first one…
@@Roses-lilac y'all know you can easily go and search the music right?? Y'all complain about anything🙄
They r as bad as the narrator
I do think that Tina Turner’s performance of “What’s Love Got to Do With It” and Celine Dion’s performance of “All By Myself” should be on this list.
That MJ performance was insane 🎉
The MJ one is just pure MUSIC and pure perfomance. Pure soul
I love that started with showing Paul McCartney & Nancy and Ringo & Barbara grooving in the audience, lol.
GOAT Michael Jackson at the top where he belongs
Amen
Pink's "Glitter In the Air," Celine Dion's "All By Myself," and Demi Lovato's "Anyone."
Demi's "Anyone " brings tears & gives me goosebumps every time. Such a painfully beautiful song.
I'm so happy that Miss Tina Turner was on this list RIP to a legend
Awesome choice, but I feel like you guys missed Bruno Mars. I know there must be at least one of his performances with a breakdown.😅🎉
Jacksons spin onto the knees 😮❤😮
How is there no Lady Gaga on this list? 2010 with Elton John & her 2011 performance of Born This Way were light years away from her contemporaries. It's mind-blowing that some entries were even choices, let alone some people having 3.
I literally watched the video to see if Gaga was on it and i’m shocked that she isn’t 😮
Pink performing Glitter in the air is undoubtedly the best performance in the history of Grammy. ❤
Michael Jackson's performance will never be topped! The passion, the pain, the epicness!
The pain is right. I hope he was wearing knee pads.
Whitney's voice 😲❤
Prince’s 1985 performance was better than the one he did with Beyonce
2013 Grammys: Bruno Mars, Sting, Rihanna, Ziggy Marley, and Damien Marley's Bob Marley tribute Feat. "Locked Out of Heaven," "Walking on the Moon," and "Could You Be Loved."
MJ FOR THE #1👑
MICHEAL DESERVED THE NUMBER 1 STATUS-HE WAS JUST INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!
Always have to agree that Michael Jackson will forever be the GOAT. I would have had the BTS Butter performance on this list. Great visuals, storytelling, tricks, and a dance break. BTS is the first K-Pop group to present at the Grammys, then the first to perform at the Grammys (taped performance during COVID, then live performance).
MJ better be #1. No one can hold candle to MJ. Ricky Martin should be higher. He single handedly put the latin music back on the world map. Stole the Grammys that night.
The Daft Punk, Stevie Wonder, Pharrell and Nile Rodgers performance will always be my favorite Grammy performance ❤️
MJ FOREVER❤❤❤
Good list MoJo❤👍🏾👏🏾🤟🏾
Fly Like a Bird Mariah Carey Grammy 2006. That was spectacular.
That is exactly the Grammy performance that needed to be added to this list!!!!! I guess it isn’t just the Grammys that doesn’t give Mariah the credit she deserves 😂
@@kamyaandbrudsdad facts
What an amazing list-thank you!
Absolutely, our beloved Michael Jackson has incredible tremendous Grammy performance! 💖💖💖👍👍👍👏👏👏
We love you, music, legends, and modern ones too this is so awesome
MJ one of the TALENTED performers to grace this earth ❤ RIP Michael
Great list! My favorite Grammy moment was Robert Randolph and the Family Band performing I Need More Love. The stage could not contain the power on display!
love the background music
Thank you watch mojo you never fail to make me feel something
How is Lady Gaga’s Born This Way and her performance with Elton John not on the list 😮
Right?
This is a great list of performances that i must look up❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
Pink's Glitter in The Air. Ricky Martin's Cup of Life. Melissa and Joss' Piece of My Heart. All live rent free in my head.
what an iconic list of performances 🔥Mariah's If it's over is personally my most favourite the raw power and emotion in Mariah's belts were just spectacular
The king of pop in indeed
Michael Jackson Forever ❤
Great list, I just wish the snippets had been longer😢
Ikr? Less jabbering, more music!
The Barbra Streisand and Neil Diamond duet of 'You Don't Bring Me Flowers' should be on the list, top 10 even.
After the 2024 ceremony, we know the Fast Car performance will be included on future lists
I love your videos and channel
The stars must've felt invincible when the crowd erupted in applause.
Really wish there were links to the full performances in the description
or you can just youtube it not that hard
There is No way around Michael Jackson Man in the Mirror performance. Still stunning to what's it to this day
What a bunch of legendary performances
Where?
@@bertdog7639 Didn't watch?
Im so glad MJ is number 1 he's amazing
Christian Aguliera it’s a man’s man’s man’s world… the incredible last note that brings the house down…. And we don’t get to hear it??
AMEN! Ive never seen anyone with that much soul in the 21st Century besides Jennifer Hudson
Was wondering why you guys changed the thumbnail from MJ…but good list 👍🏾. Glad he’s number 1! He shouldn’t be anywhere else on the list✨❣️!
Michael Jackson’s Grammy performance it was spectacular
Honorable mentions; Mariah Carey: Vision of Love, and Whitney Houston: One Moment in Time Both performances were included in the Grammy's Greatest Moments Album by the Grammys themselves!!
We don't talk about Bruno Mars?
It’s a crime you don’t have AC/DC on here
Exactly! I want a rockin halftime show!
That wasn't Michael Jackson's Grammy performance, Michael Jackson was just giving us a message He poured his heart out on this, but we didn't listen! And God spoke to the foolish, stupid mankind! And then GOD will remind us of this night. I have sent you, MICHAEL, who reminded you at every opportunity how important the world is. MICHAEL begged you on his knees to CHANGE, but you did not listen. Exactly we didn't listen, and 36 years later, we sit there and continue to watch as the earth is destroyed day by day. We fight each other, kill each other, and all because a few politicians can't get along, at the expense of all people. Stand up now and CHANGE that, if not for yourself, then for your children and grandchildren. But stand up now and CHANGE yourself. Rest in peace Michael Jackson, the purest soul, whose honor I had the privilege to live in his time. 💯x❤
Michael Jackson is the greatest performer of all time.
Pink Glitter in the air was jaw dropping
I've watched this channel for years
The 64th annual, with BTS performing "Butter". They did a whole spy skit and dance performance. It was epic, just like them. A perfect showing of just some of their talent! 💜
Yes, I would put that performance above many of those in this video clip.
100% should have been on this list with ease, beating their stage presence and performances is extremely hard to do. Yeah, doesn't really make much sense they aren't here.
Whitney!!!!❤
Whitney during the 80s and early 90s live would have been an experience
Mine: Brandi Carlyle The Joke, H.E.R., Best Part, Dua Lupa/St. Vincent Masseduction/One Kiss (all in the same year, actually). I LITERALLY have to visit KZhead at least once monthly to play them over and over again…
Very nice video. Thank you for sharing.
Great video!
Whitney Houston was number one for me, always n forever.😅
Michael Jackson is the Undisputed King Of Pop 👑
Beyoncè being on the list 3 times is great but i would trade all those spots for either of her two greatest Grammy performances Dangerously In Love in 2004 or If I Were A Boy in 2010
Honestly, what I feel was missing was Gnarls Barkley’s performance of Crazy at I believe the 2007 Grammy’s, the composition Danger Mouse did with Cee-Lo’s vocals and the backing vocals were chilling
So happy to see London calling tribute in there
Aretha Franklin singing Nessum Dorma was everything. I cried when i saw it the first time. Jesus, you KNOW she is the queen when she could sing such a iconic song.
That Kendrick performance was the greatest one I had ever witnessed in real time to this day. And yes I was born in 2004 I’m sorry 😔
I don't understand, why are you apologizing for your age? You like what you like.
" If we jad to choose just one, then there's no doubt who would be number one." Listed as number two.
Aguilera is the best, no one comes even close to her vocals. After her debut in 1999 there were no one who surpass her as a vocalist.
Ariana Grande does one hell of a Xtina Aquilera impression. Seen what she did on Jimmy Fallon show?
@@TexasLocalProduce yep, I saw. Pretty good impression. But if you imply Ariana is close to Xtina, you are wrong. She is good vocalist, way better than most pop star but she nowhere near Christina :)
WatchMojo is an OG!
Annie Lennox - a legend.
You are missing Madonna, Lady Gaga & Celine Dion. do u have a DEI quota too? Why put on Miley on the thumbnail when she is not on the list?
Tell me you're a Lady Gaga hater without telling me you're a Lady Gaga hater... I mean her debut of Born This Way is ICONIC af, the woman is in a egg in the beginning of the song, the vocals (specially in the piano/organ) part is amazing, the lyrics of the song are so important, the dancers and the end of the performance with her and the dancers all together like how can you not put it here or at least honorable mentions? Also her first performance ever in Grammys where she performed a medley of Poker Face/Speechless/Your Song with Sir Elton John... Like she deserves more love
HAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
@@the_darkhorse1826 are you alright hun?
@@ValexLM I am laughing hysterically at your comment. Poor you,
@@the_darkhorse1826 good for you I guess
Agree!!! ❤❤ love Gaga
Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs - Fast Car !!! ;-)
Not a huge fan of Pink! but her grammy performance should have been number one. It had all other music artists in awe - all of them.
Michael Jackson is the best ❤❤😇😇💖💖
Too much talking, and I want to hear the performance sing. The lady keeps talking over the singing.
Man mj is the one 👌 🙌
Actually, I think One Moment in Time was Whitney’s best Grammy performance.
Please, Pink number 5????? She did something no one else could!
I've been attending the Grammy's since 2010. The most iconic event that will stay with me for the rest of my life is Maclemore's Same Love in 2014 at the 56th Grammy Awards. There was no dry eye inside the Staples Center!
Using Miley as clickbait I’m in or it is a Smiler social media filter
Sorry I’m just so used to seeing that dumb tay lor gurl when pop music is mentioned
My favourite ever Jamiroquai - Virtual Insanity Herbie Hancock - rockit
