stunning show
liberian_girl17 February 2002
In thought this show was so brilliant, the performers were really great and I still enjoy watching the performers, but the performance that I enjoyed most would have to be Michael Jackson's Billie Jean. I loved the moonwalk and his dancing was superb as usual.

Great to see the Tamla Motown greats in their prime and in concert

Marvin Gaye, Micheal Jackson and the other Motown greats in Concert. Wonderful!! I would love to see this again. Great hits, mature presentations. The concert has a magic all of its own with Berry Gordy Jnr. enjoying every minute.

Timeless music and genuine talent

There are so many great moments in this celebration that I had to give it 10 even though there were some negatives.

Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, Mary Wells, Junior Walker were all superb, singing and performing some of their timeless music.

Stevie Wonder performed a great medley of some of his many hit songs.

Diana Ross ended with the show with Supremes Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong, although it was pretty much all Diana taking the limelight.

Highlights for me were The Temptations and Four Tops as they performed some fantastic hits and the cross over battle was superb.

The Jackson 5 performing for the first time together in 8 years with Jermaine was wonderful and then Michael took center stage and performed his iconic Billie Jean. This was the only non-Motown song performed, but it is the performance that stands out for many.

The only negatives were the pointless inclusion of Adam Ant, Linda Ronstadt and a few others who added nothing to an otherwise momentous event.
