STEVIE WONDER barely made it through his performance on a TV tribute to MICHAEL JACKSON before he got really emotional, and cried about his late friend. The legendary singer was performing the pop legend’s track “The Way You Make Me Feel” when he broke down with his head in his hands.
Stevie, a close friend of Michael, who passed away in June, did, however, manage to finish his performance alongside soul singer JOHN LEGEND, and was given a standing ovation from the audience at the Rock and Roll 25th Hall of Fame Anniversary Concert, broadcast by US network HBO.

Though Janet Jackson had not performed the choreography from “Scream” since she and her brother Michael shot the video in 1995, it couldn’t have been a more fitting tribute to him. Jackson talked about the making of that video along with how she prepared for the Video Music Awards in the half-hour special “The Making of Janet Jackson’s VMA Tribute Performance,” which aired on September 19.
According to Janet, “Scream” was a turning point for Michael, who used the video to express frustration over his legal troubles. ” ‘Scream,’ there was so much going on at that time,” Jackson recalled. “That’s when the I hate to say this but — the first allegations [of child molestation] came out and the whole bit. He was very upset and very angry and he had so much pent up in him that he wanted to get out and say. And when you listen to the lyrics, that’s what it’s about.”
