This just shows how much the stage and the music is literally made for Michael Jackson. No matter how many good artists sing. All it takes is for MJ to get on stage, and he instantly just creates that aura and energy that causes the whole world to gravitate towards him.

I have to agree. Michael at that time hadn't done Thriller. We just don't seem to have the superstars like we did back in the early 80,s.
I guess I'm showing how much older we all are now. Anyway thanks for posting. I was a child back then. 50 this year. RIP Michael Jackson.

Micheal was a phenomenal performer, but let's not overlook the pure chemistry between these two. They both effortlessly flowed with the song and perfomance.
