BET: Ten-years ago, Michael Jackson & James Brown on the same stage



With the 2013 BET Awards appearing tonight, I think it's appropriate to to show, probably, one of the greatest moments in award show history, when ten years ago at the 2003 BET Awards, Michael Jackson and James Brown appeared on the same stage.

Seeing Michael come out and everyone going nuts was great -- but then seeing him do his best James Brown dance on front of James Brown, was epic.

That moment was rare. Not just because they're two icons on stage, but we got to see Michael, almost, become a fan. Brown was his idol growing up. And to see the "King Of Pop" become flustered with joy, showed the human in him. The way Michael acted on front of Brown, is the way Usher, Justin Timerlake, Bruno Mars, Chris Brown (etc.) would've acted on front of Michael.

Man, would I have love to seen a Michael Jackson and Chris Brown on the stage; oh man! Oh wait, there is hologram, right?
