Michael Jackson MTV Interview 1995

He whipped out a medley of hits “Billie Jean,” “Beat It,” “Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough” and “Black or White.” On the first song, Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash surprised the crowd when he joined Michael onstage to lay down a few smokin’ riffs. Not content with performing a medley of so many hits, Jackson also laid out full versions of “Dangerous” and “You Are Not Alone.” Not a bad way to kick off the show.

Michael was also a winner that night, sharing three Moonmen with his sister, Janet Jackson. The superstar sibling pair’s “Scream” netted the Best Dance Video, Best Art Direction and Best Choreography awards.

Once again, the MTV VMAs were pure spectacle and we were riveted.
