the fact that Fergie isn't even doing cartwheels she is literally doing a one handed front walkover makes it 100x more chaotic

fergie was actually doing ONE HANDED front walk overs, v impressiv

i’m sorry, but hearing “dr phil singing good charlotte on james corden” caused me psychic damage. there’s not a word in that sentence that doesn’t feel like being hit by a truck

That Britney moment where she thought Ryan Seacrest was gay is so iconic lmao ✨

i pledge allegiance to Mike’s Mic

when he said "a chaotic moment of fergie performing" about three different moments popped into my head

The way Mike completely ignored Mariah’s “I don’t know her” and “I haven’t paid attention to Madonna since I was in like 7th or 8th grade when she used to be popular” is SENDING MEEEEE

Fergie snapped so hard I’m not even gonna lie

I can't believe how many times Fergie went 🤸🏼‍♀️🤸🏼‍♀️🤸🏼‍♀️🤸🏼‍♀️

love how we’re gradually moving to the left in the M room - cant wait to see the door

Mike *looking like the shortstop on a minor league baseball team*: “And y’know what? Maybe I am destroying that [cyberpunk] look right now.”

i need to point out that fergie is not doign cartwheels, which is something a 4 year old can do, she’s doing a one handed front walkover, which requires an INSANE amount of core and shoulder strength, and on top of her singing, i think this should be qualified as an olympic sport

i will never emotionally recover from fergies cartwheel 9 am performance

The noise fergie makes as she cartwheels is so damn funny 💀

THE FLYING DRESS ON LEVEL 2 MAKES ME FEAR FOR LEVEL 5

Girl hiding her face during nicki definitely called in sick and was burning the evidence lmao, yes girl keep your bag and enjoy the show

ashlee basically invented the little lad dance

level 3 NEEDS to have bjorks "welcome to bangkok" moment

"I think you should get out of the hospital." Madonna is absolutely popping off.

Mike please add Mariah Carey’s interview where she didn’t know you had to pay for electricity monthly and refused to believe the interviewer 💅🏻✨ Iconic because that’s how detached from reality I aspire to be

I repeated the Fergie part like 5 times; the sound while she cartwheels, the fact that she cartwheels with just one hand (which kinda makes sense since she was a chearleader when she was younger) , the "My grandkids" sign, the fact that Fergie has so much energy at 8:00 am. It is all amazing. A masterpiece.

Just putting it into the universe that we NEED a mikes mic breakdown of the XCX World situation

Madonna is pretty chaotic. Just as chaotic as other female singers talking about her. Like Cher's "She’s unbelievably creative because she’s not unbelievably talented, She’s not beautiful, but she’s kind of … she’s creative, but she’s rude. And then I used another word, but they bleeped me" and "wtf is MDNA?" AND Janet's answer about her comparisons to Madge "What I do has class to it, yeah".

11:34 that walk to the camera made me anxious that Britney was going to announce that her administration had just killed bin laden

Madonna: the icons are dead but I'm still standing 😌💅

Patti Labelle singing This Christmas, not fully knowing the words, and screaming "Where my background singers" should be here. It's really Level 1 since a lot of people know about it and I watch it every year when it's Christmas season

God that Madonna/Courtney Love interview is I 👏 CON 👏 IC 👏 like the level of shade and reading going on is so much that I feel like I’m going to explode.

Madonna "I'm still standing" basically saying, "pay homage to me at once and lay your tributes at my feet".

Level 3 moment is Björk winning an acting award and her acceptance speech was “I am very greatful, thank you very much, I am very greatful, thank you very much”

Madonna listed those names like she took those artists out herself 😭

no one: fergie: wohoho 🤸🏼‍♀️wooho🤸🏼‍♀️wohoho🤸🏼‍♀️

For context of the show Fergie was on - and more importantly the grandma in the audience - it’s like a morning news show based in NYC at NBC Rockefeller Center, with real news but also fluffy time filler segments because it lasts pretty much the whole morning so it’s everything from “recipes for your Arbor Day celebration” to incredibly, Fergie going HARD live in concert first thing in the morning. And every morning their audience is just whoever shows up to the outdoor space at the studio and passes the security/producer check and it’s usually just tourists who are there to vibe but the type of tourists who only catch a vibe at 8 am - but you actually gotta get there even earlier than that to get a spot at the barrier to be seen on TV by your family back home in the middle of nowhere USA 😅 so you make a sign that’s like “HI TO MY FAMILY IN BEAVER BUSH, IOWA!!!” To try to get the newscasters/hosts to come up and talk to you during the audience interview segments. Producers mingle with the crowd during the in-studio segments and then might put you on camera if you are ~chosen👑✨~ And let me finish this by saying absolutely none of this is a read on today show audience members because I am from Nowhere Kentucky and have been to NYC exactly twice and both times I made time to go to the today show but didn’t manage to go to the Empire State Building. My 20th birthday I saw a matinee of Wicked but I started my day huddled with my bestie - who drove us the entire 10+ hours to New York! - and randomly saw John Stamos and got a book cause they producers knew it was my bday but we didn’t have any signs or anything 🤣 so they just felt bad and gave me one of the free books from another guest that day to just be holding in the crowd for those shots. Cause you just show up you have NO IDEA who or what the show is gonna be about that day unless you are an active fan of the person and know to be there that day for that reason way in advance. All that to say TLDR, that granny showed up thinking it was going to maybe be Alton Brown baking a pumpkin pie and then got to witness Fergie being an absolute machine on stage and the rest is history 😭

I thought you were gonna play the recently rediscovered performance where Fergie is drunkenly failing to recite "that verse" from Fergalicious

i don't know enough about pop girlies to contribute to this but one moment is engraved in my mind is nicki minaj yelling miley what's good in the vmas i thought that was the most intense thing i had ever witnessed as a 12 year old

this needs to be a never ending SAGA

Bestie. Every time you say "sangwich." Bestie I swear. I am reaching my breaking point.

Imo how the levels should be structured: Level 1- More or less what was went over in this vid Level 2- Moments well known on Stan Twitter, often pop up in “Messy Pop Star moment” type threads. Examples: Carly Rae Jepsen’s tea event, “I thought this song was big in Germany” Level 3- Known amongst popheads and spaces more dedicated to pop music & pop culture, not really known or discussed outside of those groups Level 4- Pop culture lore rarely ever acknowledged if at all, likely forgotten or just not really known about in the first place

I loved Ashlee Simpson’s first album I know all the words to all the songs & I remember when this happened and it ruined her I was so sad 🤧💀

the way mike has the audacity to call madonna messy when courtney is literally throwing compact mirrors and stumbling around either drunk or high

Whilst pop star's chaotic moments are great, I think we all know you have some of the best chaotic moments that will go down in the history books under the slay category

He NEEDS to talk about when Jewel thought casualty meant something casual and an interviewer had to tell her she was wrong.

The irony of Ashlee LIP SYNCING on a show called Saturday Night LIVE. I mean the hate she got for it was just too much and too harsh but at least she's doing ok now and it is still an unforgettable moment

"feel free to slay, don't forget to boots the house, and remember, charlie" I want this written on my gravestone x

"Why does she say it like a hit list?" :')

the ARTPOP era was the most iconic shit ever i would sell my soul to go back in time and bask in one of the concerts

Mike you should do an essential viewing for the rhbh episode with “who is hunky dory?” And “jealous of what - your ugly leather pants?”

This is why I really don’t want to be A list famous. I know chaotic moments aren’t that serious, But People truly never forget😭

Mike stop I’m literally crying you have no idea how much i needed this 😭

when you move to europe and now you're in the perfect time zone to watch mike's mic uploads early 💅

Ok so Mike if Bjork is nowhere to be found on any future CHAOTIC POP episodes I will be suspicious of your character.

This is the shit I stay alive for. Thank you to the main youtube girlie

It’s the IMMEDIATE use of aespa’s new album for me!!!!!! I HAVE TO STAN UR A KPOP LOVING LEGEND

Awareness of the “flying dress” has improved my life dramatically, the footage itself is a slow moving masterpiece. 5 out of 5 stars. Would recommend 👏

the way i actually had to pause and take a moment when miss Madonna shot a Destruca X rocket launcher into Courtney Love's career

For today's compliment i just want to say that you're destroying that look it really looks good on you luv x

Britney sounds like she had a head cold when they filmed her GMA promo 😭

Not me getting a new video notification while watching “I’m Kostafobic Darren!!” The power you hold bestie

We need level 2 mike

OK, but for the messy tweets, you NEED to include Nicki's recent message to prime minister Borris about how she's actually British and went to school with Margaret Thatcher! It was a cultural reset moment!

Why have I never seen the "my band started playing the wrong song" part LOL girl just sing it then?!

fergie has more chaotic pop girl moments than you’d expect she really is so chaotic

That literal sneak pic of Dr. Phil is what I imagine the source material for my nightmares for the next two weeks would be based off of. Thank you for not showing the video and making it two years.

Cant believe the 5th Harmony one wasn’t the performance after Camila left where the other girls YANKED A MANNEQUIN REPRESENTING CAMILA OFF THE STAGE. So messy. Iconic.

Bro that Ashley Simpson lip syncing scandal was so bad, it was all over the news and I’m not even American. It was like a circus, it destroyed her career completely which is nuts to think about now. The media loved it, they were so horrible to her and Jessica

I won't forgive you for this bestie. Fergie - cartwheeling???? That's a one-handed walkover, pleek!

mike dropping a video while instagram is down? a literal blessing

can you PLEASE do a whole video about the Katy perry witness era, because there's a lot to unpack

That crack of your back in the beginning was the best thing I heard all day

"Madonna is messy. We don't talk about that enough" I've never agreed to anything as much as this.

Mike I can't stop watching the fergie cartwheel video 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

nevermind witness world wide can we talk about 1D day ? there is a lot to unpack there

loving this lil alice in borderland moment going on with the cards at the beginning keep it up bestie ✨

Ya need to talk about Shakira more

The fact that you never continued this series 🥲

Chaotic pop star moments iceberg

Can’t wait for level 5

maddona saying "I'm still standing" makes it sound like she killed them all herself 😭

pls cover grimes’ twitter storyline it could not get any more chaotic-

That Nicki Moment when she won an award and had to do a speech, but forgot which award she got. 😭🤚🏻❤️

I actually screeched when I saw the title. This is definitively my favorite mikes mic topic

PLS DO LEVEL 2 😭

The Courtney Love vs Madonna compact incident lives in my head permanently

why did i think that unhinged jessie j "price tag" acoustic performance would be here

I almost choked at the comments for that burger guy

you explaining how the levels of chaotic pop star moments works made me feel like Dante being introduced for the levels of the Inferno

“Christina was at her lowest” is giving “Jessie J is threatening to release a new album”

mic we need a messy 1d moments dissertation from you bestie

fighting for my life because YO MILEY WHATS GOOD is not here

Give us longer videos, mike. Can never get enough of your rants lol

Fergie wasn't actually singing she was crying out in fear. it was a call for help. you're being so disrespectful

You have no idea how much I needed this AT THIS VERY INSTANT

Mike we need a whole video on the art pop era, it’s a must sis 💅🏻

LEVEL 2 WHEN?>?????

I want “welcome everybody to mikes mic, my name is Mike” as my flip phone ringtone

BESTIE WHERES LEVEL 2 WE NEED IT

Finally, a voice speaking out against the weekly menace that is SNL

I was a wee little girl in the 90’s as I was born in 89 but growing up with MTV perpetually on the TV where my sister and I played and made believe has truly contributed to my warped reality. Help me. MTV in the 90s was such a chaotic place in itself. Edit: OMG the way Madonna thought she was about to get decked by the ball of recklessness that was 90s Courtney Love was PALPABLE

i can’t believe you didn’t elaborate more on witness live, she was livestreaming her life for a whole week straight, including when she slept, and james corden was there and made her do fill your guts or spill your guts and she had to rank how good her famous exes were at sex and she took like ten minutes to answer the question, i was watching this as it happened and it was giving me second hand embarrassment

micheal microphone its been 7 months n i am still waiting for u to make a level 2 video

Mike how could you forget to include the ICONIC moment when Hatsune Miku performed on David Letterman
