[LUVIZPAINSTILL]

THE WIZ! CLASSIC! THIS EXTENDED VERSION IS FIRE!!!! 

[solly2kings]

I am simply blown away by this version of 'You Can't Win'!!! Michael Jackson will never cease to amaze us and will never be forgotten especially in his role as the Scarecrow. It deeply saddens me that all of the major actors in 'The Wiz' have passed on except Dianna Ross. RIP to all those who made this movie an exceptional part of my younger years.Michael Jackson, Nipsey Russell, Ted Ross, Richard Pryor, Thelma Carpenter, Lena Horne, Mabel King & Theresa Merritt. We miss you and we thank you!

[jdub2676]

WOW I'M BREAKING THE REPLAY BUTTON ON THIS ONE!!!!!

[premedog]

too bad Michael never got a chance to protray a serious role...........I think he would`ve been great,Thankful for all of the music L.O.V.E

Better than lil wayne? no shit, its michael fucking jackson. Michael Jackson > everyones music. sayin that is like me walkin out at 12 noon and saying the sun is up. its too damn obvious

[braksator]

amazing, haven't heard this version

[iloveyou10195]

besttt song from the movie !

[Joeyarhino1]

@Cro75 Thanks for that cool bit of info. What a cool piece of trivia I will probably never forget

[azareal]

I feel like bustin out some locking routines when I hear this song...you really cant help yourself tho XD Dancers i know yall feel me when I say that.

[ChildsHeartMJLove]

i love this song and michael <33

[shaune1000]

i love the wiz lol a black version of wizard of Oz and i love it

[Crp75]

'The Wiz' was originally a Broadway musical before it was made into a film and this song was actually an outtake from the production. "You Can't Win" was performed during previews until it was cut and was originally sung by the Wicked Witch's slaves at the beginning of Act Two, just before "No Bad News."

[marque235]

Love this version. Thanks for sharing!!!

[bobcatmgmt]

What an encouraging song! lol

Ily michael

[TheGleekOfAllGleeks]

is it wrong that i had nightmares about (mj) the scarecrow when i was a small child due to the movie?

now i love it! :D

[kmack002]

@apologeticsman So, why not ask your friends and Christian bros / sisters that question? This is youtube doesn't matter how you try not to sound racist, it's going to come off that way here. You'd be better served just asking someone that knows your heart that question.

[fede4real]

this is one of the best pieces he ever recorded IMHO.100% MJ fonky

[azareal]

Anybody else notice that he has on Big Birds legs?

[BIGGESTMJFAN4EVA]

@azareal LOL!

[likitt2]

This song is for all the fish and donks on poker stars

[LangstonT]

What a powerful message in this song. I love this song and movie. Ironically we dance and sing along but miss the message and "can't get out the game." Just think of how true this song is even today. R.I.P. Michael

[kc718201]

Whoever idea that was to put the laughter in the 2nd half of the song...PURE GENIUS!!!!! That's my favorite part.

[80scouplerules]

Wow this is funkier than the movie version. I can totally see/hear the beginnings of his Off The Wall sound....

[StarGolding]

This was Mikes first of many warnings to the world about the Game letting us no that u cant win !! Pure Genius how subliminal it is!! Bless u Mike :-)

[PhawnSkywalker]

It's a okay movie... But it gets VERY boring... They got Micheal Jackson as add their disposeel, why don't they use him some more?

[whiteyak47]

3:08! classic

[LoganJackson]

this has nothing to do with the video, but I'm hoping someone can help me. how do I adjust the font on youtube? I can hardly see anything on here

[sclonts]

I can't believe this! I have seen the Wiz dozens of times and this is my favorite song from the movie. BUT I HAVE NEVER HEARD THIS VERSION!!! THIS IS AMAZING!!! I now understand Quincy's decision to produce Michael's album and Michael's decision to work with Quincy!!

[MichaelJackson838]

Michael, I wish you didn't want to get out of the game. But I know exactly why you would-the MEDIA KILLED YOU! Fuck the media!!!!!

[argylekilliam]

I havent heard this in ages, plus I havent seen The Wiz like in 25yrs

[lori3456]

BUT I live in chicago. it's everywhere here. Wal-Mart, Target, FYE, Best Buy EVERYWHERE. But is expensive. The regular DVD (5 bucks) is out of print now that the 30th Anniversary DVD is out and it costs about 22 dollars.

[queenallegro96]

i bought on amazon for 11 dollars. theres used ones for like $5.

[MJrememberthetime]

Me too I can watch the wiz every minute!! I love that michael played in this movie especially the end where Dorothy (Diana Ross) has to go home. I loved the whole thing!!

R.I.P Michael!! Keep writing those cool and jazzy songs in heaven!!!!!

[ronnel39]

I can watch the wiz every week! I love it.

[iloveeeeeeeemj1222]

he was the cutest damn scarecrow ever! and his laugh! <33 hes just amazing!

rip michael

[bluevixen1]

The scarecrow was so heart-wrentchingly adorable. The tone of his voice in lines like "Dorothy. Dorothy please." and "Then I'm coming with you!" reduced me to tears.

[k2needja]

@bluevixen1 you're right. tore me up.  check out my mj videos ive made on my channel.

[bluevixen1]

I heard that 'The Wiz' was actually a lot truer to the book. Dorothy's slippers were originally silver.

[aliyais1]

his laugh is so adorable it made me cry

[LifeOfSessan]

Just watched the DVD. Seeing Michael as the Scarecrow makes me smile and laugh so much, he was just too amazing for words, so pure and loveable. <3

[SamerrrrrrrJamerrrr]

Woah at 5:50 his laugh is so.....sexy..... I honestly think I might faint....wow..

[bear2836]

YES! ME TOO!!

MY GOD!!!!

[kristalnc]

i miss yhu mike and your sexi voice

[michaelfannumber01]

[iluvmattdillon]

"The Wiz" certainly does not deserve the negativity it has received. It's great!

Michael is sooo cute as "Scarecrow". He was a wonderful choice!

[rodgermourtagh]

@iluvmattdillon What negativity??

[HappyEggz]

aww, if you litsen at 5:50 you can hear his beautiful laugh <3 RIP Mike We love you

[Madabela]

[pusher2342]

Wow...listening to this song.....I believe Michael probably felt like this when he was alive. He just couldn't win,

Ease on down the Road Mike

Rest Easy...

[Queen4adisa2c]

I feel for all of us...

His kids, his family and moreover his passion...to perform was robbed!

His privacy invaded time&time again.

Damn Conrad Murray! You're not doctor

when you allow someone in need of

help to seek hurtful methods!!! Don't ever think of coming to Brooklyn, you're not safe!

[MCRgirl2007]

I Swear This Is Like My Theme Song.

I Miss MJ So Much, But He's In Heaven Now, Teaching Angels To Moonwalk!:)

RIP Michael.

[naga22041980]

Wow - that was reaaaaaally good - very much r`nB - sound - love it

sometimes i think that michael was more abaritenor" - not a real high tenor because of his got falsetto - baritones are godd falsettosingers. or deep spintotenor could also be, although seth riggs said he was a high tenor

[jbubbjw]

I wish they would start making music again. Almost everything is now is below our standards of half assed.

I guess that's relative, but personally I think your wrong.

[nightshade7206]

I remember watching this at a dear friend of mines house and when my mother found out she slapped me so hard my nose bled, because it was a black movie. It was the first incident I ever had with racism. I will never forget the way the move made me feel but even more so the realization that my mother was a racist. I was forever changed.

[iluvjonathandavis]

omg!!!!

this movie was way better than the wizard of oz and black people sing and dance better than white ppl,theyve got better rhythm

i yell at my partner if he says anything racist around our little girl

[bashulstein]
