I remember this scene from "The Jacksons: An American Dream," but I never thought I would see the ACTUAL footage. WoWzers!!! Thank you for posting this. Of course they don't sound as good here as was reinacted in the movie, but just the to see such old footage is a golden moment. If the movie depiction was true, they only had about an hour to learn the lyrics to this song so there was no preparation, as it was last minute, which would explain why they sound so plain here.
When I saw this on "The Jacksons: An American Dream" , I thought about how much I would wanna see the REAL thing. I never thouht I would find it because it is so old. but i guess that someone took the time to find this and upload it.
I honestly think Michael Jackson should have sang the National Anthem when he went solo. Like during the Dangerous Era! Talk about lighting up the freakin nation!
@danwasfreakinhere Jehovah's Witnesses are not supposed to salute the flag or sing the anthem. This is why they had to be taught the song moments before this game. In later years (his solo career), Michael refused to be on a dias when the flag was being saluted or the anthem sung, etc. He left the church in the late 80s, but never really stopped being a Witness.
They actually never sang the anthem before! and learned the words in the limo on the way to the game! With that being said! they rocked it! and MJ is always awesome!
@ZumbaFitPrincess Thats right, being brought up Jehovah Witnesses, its against their faith to show allegiance to anything other than Jehovan, that included the nation. Singing a natonal nathem was a sign of national reverence, and this defied their JW teachings
@Harumichan28 they did only just learn it on the way there, so u cant rip on them for the prefomance quality too much, they obviously have sounded better. \: but its awesome for wat it is. i love michael for ever <3 Rest In Peace <3
Already a superstar .. at this young age .. good job Michael and the J5 ! I've heard about this event but this is the first I've seen it !! Thank you so much for posting this !!
