Michael and La Toya Jackson - Puttin On The Ritz live on the Jacksons Show

[TheMadeleine1994]

I WISHED TO BE HIS PARTNER!!!

MIKE'S VOICE IS SO PURE!!!

1:55-1:57=WHOAA!THIS IS SO IMPRESSIVE! MJ IS A VERY GREAT DANCER!!!

[Sugarcoma5718]

anyone remember when they said mike wanted to look like Diana Ross? I never bought that..i always thought he wanted to look like Latoya, look later in life..he never wanted to be a white man..he wanted Latoya's look..hair, figure..and how he dressed like her too..no disrespect but it is very obvious.

[Armenhotep]

So Smart^^

[toodamnsexy1000]

aaww this is so cute michael dancing with his sister i think its lovely

[Dashland13]

THIS IS SO COOL!

[falloutmanize]

Damn, I didn't know Michael was such an awesome jazz singer O_O

[WilliamLaSalle]

Amazing.

Thank you for posting this.

I am a fan.

<3

[LaurenMJlove]

ik that is his sister latoya but if that was me i would melt... lmfaoo

this is so cute!

[makenart]

Gotta love them Jacksons, one of a kind family!

[BoulevardeTV]

wow latoya is amazing...she ought to go on dancing with the stars

[imabee2010]

Wonder if she would do dancing with the stars ??

[mjis4evamine]

amazing video, both are terrific here

[zdoll12]

I wonder if he was singing live, or lipsyncing. Funny how she has on red but my eyeballs only follow him the entire time

[ph1484]

@zdoll12 Oh Mike was live in them days! He wasn't dealing with the mental stress of being Michael Jackson the most famous man on the planet. Here, he's "merely" the insanely talented phenom of the Jacksons. And it shows in his singing and dancing. He's unbelievable.

[GUELCIN1994]

great video!!Toy and MJ rock!

[kristineurie44]

"the way you sing off key..."

how ironic

[HollyWoodGrammys]

CLASSIC ! THE MOST FAMOUS MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT FAMILY TO HAVE EVER LIVED ! BEAUTIFUL !

[pewmanfustudios]

This was really cool. I barely remember this show, but I used to always watch the Jackson 5 cartoon.

[msteetee34]

This is too cute. It's like dancing with the stars. MJ can dance to any style of music. God given talent for sure. Latoya look really pretty here too.

[planerex]

god he's so charming!!!!!!!!

[NunuInvincible829]

aww haha they're so cute love toy voice sounds like one of those woman that was born in the 20s or 30s . love you mj you are my rock

[laureathea]

Sorry, for women can you honestly tell me does michael's voice just give you that feeling that for one moment sex can't give you or that tingle that you are like what the foosh just happened and you find yourself rushing to the bathroom getting in the shower maybe it's just me but damn damn damn that man. The only other man that can do that is Prince but just give me Michael any time i'll be happy.

To my King: Mi corazon para siempre. Ti amo me amor Adios Mi amor

[luv4uification]

@laureathea aww that so sweet.

[michaeljackson195870]

Michael e sua sorella LaToya negli anni 70

[Kapernakus07]

MJ's talent is just sickening, its just not fair!!!!!

[Lisette224]

I totally agree with you Youttubi I love Mj and la toya too

[tonytigereyes]

La Toya used to be fine.

[44joints]

@tonytigereyes .... you did too!

[supermjjfan1]

Great,loved this.

[erc355]

For Crying out Loud. Show bussiness was No Joke, when It came down to someone like Joe Jackson. Bravo. That was wonderful!

[patrycya15]

omg i love this song... fred aistere is a genious... and michael... my god this man have a touch of god...

[shiabaybay]

Epic!

[Lutinne7]

[aeropostalebunny1]

THiS iS SO bEAUTiFUL.i kNOW ShE MiSS hER bROTHER ALOT.

[youngMulahh3]

they are so cute

[xerryta94]

michael is so handsome and a gentleman!

[mrsblanketjackson101]

thats 2 cute i havent seen this in awhile i love michael and latoya very much!!!!!!!!!

[deandreajefferson]

I think you are confused. Joseph asked Michael to write for LaToya but Michael didnt want to do it because he was rebelling I guess against Joseph. I read that in LaToya's book. She maybe a little coocoo but, her books seems truthful. However I am not sure. She said her and Michael were very close. Janet was close to Michael but I believe Michael was just as close to LaToya because they were alot alike. Janet (I love her) being so competitive and somewhat selfish.

[AmeliaAshley]

@deandreajefferson

I agree with what you said about Janet I'm a fan of hers, but she does come off as being competitive and a little selfish.

[EcstaticBeast11]

Ok i know Latoya loved her brother but her mouth is too effin big, you dont diss your own family

[MrSexxxy20]

@EcstaticBeast11 Yeah I don't think Toy was dissing her family I think she just couldn't take it anymore. And she wanted ppl to know the inside scoop. And her family especially Joe and Katheryn wanted her to keep her mouth closed about it. But she seems like the most vocal one of them all. Toy is going to put it on the line regardless lol. I guess her intentions were to show the world that the Jacksons are just like them. Black folks with drama.

[EcstaticBeast11]

@MrSexxxy20 Well I understand she may want to be vocal about things but saying to the press what 30 year old man sleeps in the bed with children while reffering to her brother is wrong. Michael already had enough issues without her opening her mouth. She said that the first time MJ was ever accused.

[MrSexxxy20]

@EcstaticBeast11 She sure did.. I think that at the time she may have been under the impression that he was guilty of molestation

[AleezaChocolat]

@MrSexxxy20 No, she wasn't. At the time, she was in a physically/mentally abusive, controlling relationship. Her husband -- a shady dude with ties to the mob -- made her hold a press conference stating that Michael molested kids and she had proof . . . which you could buy from them in a bidding war that started at $500,000. Of course. Tabloids went crazy to get this scoop, until they realized that it was a load of bullshit and that she really didn't have anything (because it wasn't true).

[MrSexxxy20]

@AleezaChocolat WOW if Jack did that, that's really mean! That also mean ppl purposely took advantage and took Mic to court

[AleezaChocolat]

@MrSexxxy20 Btw, La Toya's book had many sweet stories of her and Michael. She never had a bad thing to say about him before Jack Gordon, or afterward. Michael forgave her for that press conference, too, because he obviously knew why she did it at the time. Her brothers are the ones who helped her get away from Jack Gordon, after all.

[MrSexxxy20]

@AleezaChocolat I wonder if all is really forgiven between them. They look like such an unforgiven family. I could be wrong though.

[treelover320]

I loved it great job

[eva93ie]

MJ did say that he didnt like doing this shows ,and that they forced him ..

it says it all in his autobiography Moonwalk !!

btw i absolutely LOVED it !!!! ^_^

[Lady9264]

I've read Moonwalk too, but I have not read that he didn't like to do this shows.

The only thing I've read is that he didn't always want to write songs for Latoya.

[eva93ie]

wel id say you read some other version of moonwalk -.-

cos Michael never ever said by himself that he didnt like writing songs for LaToya -.-

[deandreajefferson]

The reason Mike didnt want to write for Latoya is because his father asked him to. It had nothing to do with Latoya it was Joseph

[eva93ie]

how do you know that ??

i dont think Joe would actually say that ..

he wanted his children to have a great carreer .. why he would not allow Mike to write song for LaToya ??

not argueing with you, just asking ..

[lilpinkyluv]

ya i have the book and he never said that..............heres a quote from the book.

"....Around the time that Jermaine left, things were further complicated for us because of the fact that we were doing a stupid summer TV series. It was a dumb move to agree to do that show and I hated every minute of it."

for thos of you who have the

book, its page 118 second paragraph.

[eva93ie]

@lilpinkyluv thanks !! i KNEW i hav read that he didnt like the shows !

[lilpinkyluv]

You have the book?? Would you mind telling me what page that is on??? I must have skipped that part or something cuz i haven't seen that.

I would really Appreciate it! : ]

Thank you.

[Lady9264]

@lilpinkyluv Sorry, but I haven't that book anymore. So I can't tell you wich page it was. But it was not only in Moonwalk that I have read this. It was in the book of Latoya too and in another book about MJ, but I don't know the writer of that book.

[strawberryiesable]

this is alot differant from the earlier stuff with the jackson 5 you see tap dancing everything i had never heard of this show until i seen it apetized on tv a whil back.not bad

[minoeke7]

@strawberryiesable i live in the netherlands and here it was never on tv i would like it if they would make a dvd from these shows it's a great performance. fred astaire, gene kelly, james brown and charly chaplin where his idols and he learned verry much from them only by studying theire moves when they where performing before he has to perform with the jackson 5. gladys knight said it was a soul from an old man in the boddy from a child. he didn't like that but it was ment as a compliment.

[lilpinkyluv]

I READ THAT!!!!

i love the part were he talks about looking under the girls skirts and the Man with big oranges in his bra!!!!!!! hahahaha i love it. he said that he thought it was a woman and she walked in front of him and he said "she had thick long beautiful eyelashes!" hahahah ONE of my fav. parts of the book.

[KeepTrue56]

fred astaire + james brown + magic= Michael JAckson

[davidnashley1985]

@KeepTrue

Michael is a True Classy SEXY DANCER!

Not like some elephant & weave hoe...

I've always LOVED this Video... Damn MJs Legacy will NEVER DIE!

[KeepTrue56]

true mj never said a negative thing about no one pubicaly. and ilove this.. its soooo cute... wow i love michael..

BRILLIANT

[sadmoonrisin]

I remember this CBS show, I used to watch it and loved it when I was a kid. Of course later on MJ had said how much he hated doing this TV show and regretted it. It was CBS idea to have all of the Jackson kids in it together. And yet still crammed in time to do Jackson 5 gig too! Then MJ's Off the wall......then Thriller.....and so on.....no wonder the guy couldn't sleep and his body took a tole for sure!

Between Joe and all the other dictators, when did he ever stop to breath!

[cleftheart]

Wow. They are both so talented. It's so obvious Michael and LaToya were close as brother and sister. It's wonderful to watch them both.

[Lady9264]

It's true. Most comments about Latoya are negative, but in interviews Michael had never talked badly about Latoya. In an interview with Oprah he said that he will always remember her as the happy, loving sister.

[cleftheart]

@Lady9264

He also said in the Oprah interview that he loves her (LaToya) and always will. How nice that a brother can say that about his sister. It's cute. I agree, Michael had never once said anything negative about LaToya, it would seem he loved his sister dearly, if you look at their videos together they seem very close. If Michael were alive, I think it would break his heart to find out about the negative things some of his fans says about his sister.

[Kvitka777]

aishaxoxobela, and what is the problem with that?

[aishaxoxobela]

uh it aint his gf

[aishaxoxobela]

but why is he dancing like that w.his sister??

[7fire7ice7]

it was a variety show, they played different roles

[ohlovelyme7111]

OMG he sings so awsome in this song

[forevershining1]

0:39 "The way you sing off key"

I'm sorry, but I paused the video and laughed for like, ten minutes at that. Haha

[alexjyr827]

damn! he has the perfect angelic natural voice! ;)

[Blueskye7]

man he was an awesome dancer, great singer, and damn good actor!!

he had sooo much talent!

[yellylane]

wat a freakin talent. he was perfect!

[MichaelJacksonFan201]

Michael you are so cute and your voice gives me goose bumps. Michael, please come back again! : '- (

At 0:22 , I would like to trade with La Toya. ;-)

[warmandgifted]

I never knew Michael could tap dance we just keep on learning and seeing more and more from him. Truly amazing!!!

[Essie916]

michael is amazing in this!! I love him.

i once had a dance performance to this song too..

[ThisHotelPlace]

JUST PERFECT, MICHAEL IS THE GREATEST DANCER EVER! This man could do EVERYTHING and EVERYTHING HE did was in the SUPERLATIVE! HE was, for sure, the greatest gift from God, but this world did not appreciate HIM how HE deserved and we let this WONDERFUL HUMAN BEING to be broken-down! HE was so PURE,INNOCENT,DELICATE,BEAUTIF­UL,HUMANITARIAN AN ANGEL! Wow, HIS body,HIS voice-wonderful, Lord,I LOVE EVERY BIT OF HIM SO MUCH! RIP,SWEET ANGEL! I am sorry for my English, I am Romanian!

[CUF17]

Look at LeToya keepon up with Mike with the tap dancing near the end!! I didn't know she could dance like that. Now her singing? That's another story.

[maryhadalittlelamb25]

Michael is a real dancer...at the end with his turns he's spottng...while toya is just turning....love you Mike... :)

[Acidrainisapain]

I love the way he walks at 0:27

[KingofIce547]

Michael did way more with Toy than any other sister. In a sense she kinda supported him more than any other family member, as he did for her.

I love them both. and the whole Jackson family, and Jermaine too. lol

[4evrmj]

look at that boy tap he could do anything. and he was even doin spins back then and quite fast ones too. he is just superb and amazing. such crisp execution of his moves. born to be a star. rip angel prophet of the godess

[djdanyantjcancun]

hace kuanto

[vanxl9]

the show was cool only one thing funny. The jackson brothers did skits or dances with their own sisters like they were their girlfriends. Maybe would have been better with otyher girls ofcourse. I wouldnt have my own sister as a partner kinda gross.

[Acidrainisapain]

It's called acting. I dont think they saw it like that. I'm sure you've danced with family members at weddings and parties. It doesnt mean anything.

[Youttubi]

Michael and Latoya are so cute. They loved each other so much.

[forevershining1]

I'm not sure about that. I would love to say the same thing, but i know there was some "bad air" between the two. Not here but when they got older. So sad too :(

[lalakay32]

michael is so fabulous!!!

[xxbecstt]

It's no wonder that Fred Astaire,one of Michael's inspirations, said Michael was a great dancer.

[WETNWILD85]

I never knew that (MY MAN) Michael could tap dance. I'm not that suprised,he seemed like he could do anything.

[sexysmileslimbody34]

latoya and michael can tap the best which is why they were always paired up on the show.

[gbalah162]

WHY CANT THEY BRING BACK WONDERFUL VARIATY SHOWS LIKE THIS. I ABSOLUTELLY LOVE LOVE IT. THE whole family aspect is amazing and its soo fun.

[MrPuddingness]

urghhh i wish i couldve been latoya in this dance...although i woundnt be able to let go of him :D i bet his hands were warm , soft and gentle.

[Punkishgirl27]

MJ is so gorgeous since he was a kid till now =3

[michaelljackson09]

i lovee michael for ever baby! <3

[Yemanja0308]

so lovely, MJ was a very complete artist

[justincucu]

I love this performance:X

[beautifulibra]

michael can do everything. there is not 1 thing, i mean 1 thing that he cannot do. thank you God for sharing him with the world.

[Youttubi]

I don't see how some of you can call yourselves Michael Jackson fans and hate on his sister who he loved and forgave. That would hurt Michael, and I'm sure he hears the horrible things you are saying about Latoya. Latoya was trying to keep her brother alive.

[supermjjfan1]

@Youttubi

Exactly-that is his family and who are we to judge them?

[HollyWoodGrammys]

@Youttubi Baby... You took the Words right out of my mouth... Thank You ! *JACKSONS* FOREVER ! "BAM" !

[AshleyandtheG6S]

@Youttubi No Latoya is a liar andwill do anything for the spot light because she was never really under it (so for being so late bout it)

[Youttubi]

bblocks8, Latoya was forced to tell lies about Michael because her husband beat her, drugged her, and threatened to KILL Michael if she didn't do as he said. Would you prefer she took the chance and let her husband KILL or MURDER Michael Jackson?

[hafeenah]

wat you mean by used to go together???

[JollyRanchers93]

what do you mean break up??? they are brother and sister...

[tinkerallday]

letoya is his sister

[IloveSEANTAYLOR]

Thats his freaking sister U fool. Why would they go out. @Lol

[cutecheerleader17]

they were brother and sister u idiot!!! they never went together

[bblocks8]

i don't really like La Toya, because she accused her own brother of being a pedophile

Love Michael though x

[MUZIKfactory2]

Michael is golden but I do NOT like Toy Toy

She is attention seeking, backstabbing, talentless, spineless bit#@

Michael, you are perfection

We miss you, dear

[LaSeles]

They're so cute together! He loved his sister La Toya and apparently were very close until she got married and all hell broke loose. I was mad at her for a long time, but now I think that she was really fucked up, and that man forced her to say that because he was the only person close to her at that moment.

[brooksy19921]

what he say im 12 i dnt kno

[cutesinger11]

wat who say?brooksy19921..u kno ur only ywo years older that me ccooool

[GreenCurtains10]

That was soo sweet ! He is such a natural dancer, and was born with this talent? its amazing how his dancing progresses into something like Thriller?! !!

[22moviefan22]

[russianxroulettex]

I love this, please never delete it.

[94DeMo94]

[kristalnc]

[Sancrianto]

He is the absolute King Of Pop.

Amazing.!!

All Hail The King.

Peace...

[kylcam]

Damn. It's going to be a long long time before we see a talent like that again.

It's a shame people forget that's why we "know" - because of his amazing, massive raw talent. It's a real shame all the tabloid BS has overshadowed that fact.

[ggaddar]

She wrote that he always wanted to cast her as his girl in music videos, and the only thing that stopped him was his producers.

[sprock4chick]

his voice melts my heart

[MARA36103]

michael had an amazing voice, very clean and smooth

[mamalilgirl]

I love the Jackson Variety Show they performed their asses off... MJ enjoyed performing with Latoya...

[jorgitodaking217]

he always does the most perfect spins!!!

[giosmrbig]

soo cool !!

[ronnieiscool656]

hes amazing in everything dancing, singing, acting, performing, ilh

[BoulevardeTV]

[russianxroulettex]

[utwobing]

[fdbbvvs]
