[the44118]

It is great seing this now in 2012 for those who never seen at the time just imagine when it was all brand new!...this performance made Michael's career and he kept topping himself with great video after great video after that it was revolutionary and hasn't been topped since. Great performance for a 24 year old

[Bozidar1120]

Come on Michael you are not for real!!!! 

[TheBboyadjust]

If it wasnt for tito breaking his dads guitar their wouldnt be no jacksons at all

[lordcrumb07]

03:31 - so when the Others took Walt off the boat, they put him in the 80s?

[lordcrumb07]

[datsouthernbell]

You can see the love Mike had for Jermaine!! Lil brother was right there with the mic.. :)

[DO9000J]

1:14, waaaaaaaaaay fucking better than bieber..

[DO9000J]

@kareemwilford: it's not right to slash a member of the worlds greatest dancing group, even if he's not the main star :/ asshole..

[tiinkbell2]

Michael is amazing!!!

[MJadorable123]

[zekijackson]

6:55 : OOH!

[zekijackson]

OMG ! <3

[j5muscle]

kareem why do you need to say who cares about tito? He is a human being too. You can enjoy Mike without trashing the others. Ridiculous. Micheal loved his brothers. we love him for what he did for us. That is his family and blood. You need to respect that.

[AnnaJ2908]

[LoveCorrie]

Maaaaan, I still remember being a 6 year-old in the first grade watching Motown 25 with my mom. OMG!!! I thought I watching electrified magic. I couldn't sleep...I was too excited. But the funniest part was the next day in school, my classmates and I could not control ourselves talking about what happened and all the boys trying to figure out how Michael did the moonwalk. We were dancing all over the place. My teacher didn't even stop us...she was on fire herself LOL. MJ for life!!!

[Sisiyingying]

@LoveCorrie WOW.. Your story sounds interesting haha

[muzikluvr1231]

Look at the swagger Mike has!! wow...

[terrarune]

Richard Pryor looks fucked up.

[shaunamcintyre]

everyones voice sounds flat compared to michaels never mind jermaines!

[shaunamcintyre]

why couldnt i have been born? this was more than 10 years before i was born!

[jazzlynification]

@shaunamcintyre me too.... i wish i was thr watchin him live!!

[LoveCorrie]

@shaunamcintyre WOW...you make me feel old LOL. I remember this like it was yesterday. I was 6 when this aired. It was a golden time of life and music thanks to Michael Jackson. You may not have been born, but his music lives forever...glad you're getting to enjoy it :-)

[vidwatcher31951]

@shaunamcintyre It's very commendable that you have an appreciation for music that was around before your time.  :)

[mypalmbeachtrees]

This is how i want to remember him also! Thanks for doing this wonderful thing.. I will add you. hugs to you..

[suelen700]

I love it but Michael is always better than his brothers,of course,he is the master

[Sherlzy]

justice is served finally!!!! MJ Forever!!!! <3

[iheartmjj1]

its much happier to watch this since Murray was found guilty!!!!!

[Dena21168]

[oreouniiquesohomo]

The Jackson's is wat u really call an American dream..to all not just us black folks to anyone dat came from nothing..the hood the ghetto....ect

[lawquiet314]

its weird I've seen Michaels solo performance at Motown 25 a thousand times but this is my first time seeing this

[Msfunnbunn]

The Greatest group to ever do it...in my opinion...no disrespect to the Temps or any other group b4 The Jackson, the Jackson are just it for me......Much Love to all of the greats of the Motown Era.

[theskitzo1987]

twins: (tito nd randy) (jackie nd jermaine) (michael nd the girls nd sumwut marlon)..thumbs up if u agree.

[TheKevinking81]

[Anilkaraman]

:'(

[jmefj]

05:04 LOOOOOOOOOOOVE when michael sings "never can say goodbye"

[moonjulia1988]

he was in "the wiz" right?? :P

[CPARKZ05]

@moonjulia1988 Yes he was, the scarecrow :-)

[moonjulia1988]

@CPARKZ05 i know he was the scarecrow ;D

but the man who you see first wasn´t he in "the wiz" too??

[CPARKZ05]

@moonjulia1988 Oh oh oh lol yes indeed, he was the Lion, Richard Pryor :-)

[moonjulia1988]

@CPARKZ05 really?? wasn´t he the wiz?? the guy who flew with his hot air ballon there?

[CPARKZ05]

@moonjulia1988 haha goodness forgive me, your extra right!! The lying wizard lol

[moonjulia1988]

@CPARKZ05 i just saw his face and was like: "what the hell is the wiz doing there?" LOL and no problem :PP

[ItsAlyssaYaDigg]

Marlon cracks me up. Trying to keep up with Michael's relevance.

Lol.

[35heygirl]

I have been watching so many michael jackson videos and his cds anything that has to do with this amazing man i have loved michael ever since i was 7 years old watching him making magic on and off the stage i just want to say when i close my eyes and think of you theres nothing i cant do everything is possible because you thought the world how to walk on the moon !! godspeed michael

[lionfire98]

Michael is the best of all time. I hate that people think he raped a kid or wanted to be white. WHERE IS YOUR PROOF YOU AS*HOLES. Cause we got ours.

(Rip MJ)

[TakeBackAmerica2012]

I feel so privileged that I was able to grow up during the Motown years, my God, The Supremes, the Temptations, The Jackson Five, it was A-W-E-S-O-M-E!

[princessoffire1107]

"You dont know what you got, til it's gone"... I knew he was special, I knew he was one of a kind. Unfortunately I never got to see him perform live other than this show on tv when it first came on, and I wouldn't have ever got to see him.... but just to know he's no longer "out there" and he's "gone" from this earth, leaves a hole in my heart I hadn't quite expected. Watching "I'll Be There" at the end, you can tell that was PURE JOY at being with his brothers again.

[poetgrande08]

Michael OWNED the stage! If you really watch this performance, notice how Marlon tries to mimic every move Michael makes but can't quite seem to keep up? He wanted to be his little brother soooooo baaaaad!

[guitarplayerdre]

FUCK THE OSMONDS HOW COULD THEY EVER STEP TO THE JACKSONS THEY CANT AND NOBODY COULD EVER

[LKKruse]

@guitarplayerdre

In their early days, the Omonds were great, but they really did get away from what they meant themselves to be in their music.

[gtcbm]

The First Family of Music. One in a Trillion!!

[MJismylover123456]

damn I lost count too!! WE All MISS HIM SO MUCH DAMN SO FREAKING SAD I LOVE YOU MICHAEL!!! ALL WAYS AND FOREVER

[vcottier]

[divagirl2409]

[scob62]

[Sonic3Cdelta]

6:40 "And i'll be there"...i love this man!!!

[scob62]

frank, michael, paul the best

[ryanjack111]

I don't understand why some people dislike this.

[WhereYaBoss]

@ryanjack111 Maybe because it didn't have MJ's famous solo performance at the end. I'm just guessing. Some people really love seeing it. I think this stands alone and deserves a big thumbs up though myself : ) so I'm giving it one.

[sirmjj]

It's hard to believe he's gone...he was a wonderful human being, not only because of his music and talent but how he tried to help those in need and to heal the world...you are not alone.

[wolfrider910]

[Terrychulo2]

[ihiugugu]

raw?? at his peak i reckon

[iKingMuzik]

Michael Jackson was and still raw.... Even in death he is still the man

[kjennings5]

I remember seeing this for the first time and loving it. 28 years later its still amazing

[Ladymodel]

@GlitterGirlRockxo He was wearing blush and concealer because for one he was on stage and thats what most artist did and if you look closely at the other male performers on stage they were making make-up too and second, he had to, to cover up the blotches from his skin disorder which some individuals with the condition did, male and female.

[Csinna1]

I still can remember when J5 rocked the house at the Motown 25 show. This was MJ's comming out party as a preview for what was next to come. Songs like Billie Jean @ Beat It. That spin move that MJ did on The Love You Save was awesome. RIP MJ. The Greatest Entertainer of all time!!!

[SMOKINSOUNDS]

curse the 6 people who disliked this video. also thumbs up if you cant see the dislike bar.

[DannyHaydnThomas]

[nickjonasbeyonce4eva]

Damn Michael. He was..dare I say it? Sexy and alluring, but in an innocent way. (If that makes any sense) RIP, Michael Jackson. God bless.
