The Jacksons: American Dream Part 23

[YapeQdm]

RIP both

[Akee1990]

I saw an actual footage of his hair on fire two years ago and it was a lot worse than this.

[TrapStarStudioz]

When I watch perform billy jean I start to spin and moonwalk.

[floresrojasnax]

I like that guy, he really looks like Michael to me! He is cute!

[gavry3]

@floresrojasnax but it's not him

he dosen't have the real hair

[MegaZakeya]

Does Joe care about his babies instead he just cares about MONEY!!! You stupid dumb fuck boy!! -_-

[dirtydiana9618]

thats not how michael burned his hair

[BenJabituya]

I saw this week's episode of Nintendo Week though my Wii system and got word that there will be a 3D version of "Michael Jackson- The Experience" for the Nintendo 3DS.

[tweety7746]

I love song

[TheJazzplease]

I wish Michael never separated himself from the people that loved him the most. Maybe he would still be here and black. He just blamed his father for so much, and never learned to forgive him. Trying to hurt his father, he hurt himself in the long run.

[EdTV20]

@TheJazzplease He still was African American. Just because his skin turned white does not mean he was born a black man

[Mrtacofart12]

this michaels a bad lip syncer

[xyPERSON]

@Mrtacofart12 Or it could be that this particular video is out of sync.

[deion152002]

@Mrtacofart12 who cares I came to watch the dancing

[tdbrown88tdb]

wylie draper is the best at playing michael jackson

[luz4mj1995]

That dude looks just like Michael! :O Sad he died two years later... :(

[Hurricane500000]

Oh s**** 5:00 This version is SOOOOOOO much better then that garbage movie

Man In The Mirror A Micheal Jackson Story. >_>

[tdbrown88tdb]

@Hurricane500000 ugh i hated that version the directors should've been ashamed

[Hurricane500000]

@tdbrown88tdb For real. >_> Hell that movie shouldn't even EXIST lmao.

[draventafilipepe]

miss mj



[ThomasPercy99]

The actor is brill, but the hair should've have been looser and more wirey than this

[SuperSongbird22]

His hair did catch on fire...however, in real life, Michael didn't even realize that it WAS on fire until he got down the stairs and his brothers saw it and rushed to him and put it out.

[twist58]

Seeing Wylie Draper portraying a young Michael seemed to have been a perfect match that year! He was a perfect MJ.

[lucyme2kul]

he has the glove on the wrong hand. By the way awsome performance

[Ediva75]

The 4th of July weekend after his passing I watched the original Motown 25 special (my favorite tv special of all time) I have a videotape of. I thought about all those folks in that special who have since then passed away!! My heart got really heavy and I wanted to cry when I watched the entire segment of MJ with his brothers and solo... SMDH

[emymummy]

i couldnt watch michael with the fire accient :(((((excuse me whats in michael house IS NOT weird thankyou very much !!! dont be soooooooooo mean to michael :(((((((

[mattie64978]

@emymummy me either it was toooo sad :'(

[Drummer1Bodhran1]

that was smoke the reall one was fire!!!!

[jmanx20]

did his hair really catch on fire in real life

[spitzter96]

@jmanx20 yes.. his hair really did catch on fire while filming the pepsi commercial.. but the one that was showed on American Dream was nothing like that compared to the original one.. you can see the footage on youtube..

[TristanJacksonTV]

@jmanx20 Yes his hair did catch on fire and everybody knows that. I actully cna send you the real footage of his hair catching on fire. check your message box and ill have it sent to you.

[bellaITALIA312]

@TristanJacksonTV can you send it to me too?

[Joanhs]

"it's my son in there"... Thats was Joseph SHOULD have said 2 years ago, instead of using michaels death to talk about some new business

[Ediva75]

@Joanhs AGREED!!!

[Kingsherry]

@Joanhs That's how the media took it, Michael loved his father. Don't beat on Joe for that appearance, the man is in his 80's, he probably didn't even hear the question.

[Mustlovemusic21]

@Joanhs A!!!!

MEN!!!!!!

[ViewerMovies3002]

@Joanhs, he never really loved him, that's why.

[leonielovemusic]

BILLY JEAN :D is my favo of him when hes that age

[crashbox6000]

good look alike, and he dances like mike well. but it's great we have youtube to jump to the original video of this show, makes it even heavier! :)

[AJALPHA12345]

when he was hugging his mom at 4:11 he really looked like MJ

[kemps95]

I always wanted to ride in an ambulance too! Unfortunately when I finally did it was because I hit my head, so I don't remember it anyway :( maybe another time :D

[MJlover502]

4:44- 5:27 Poor Michae;. at least his brothers were nice and helped him.

[gorgeousmama100]

@chansmomful it is michael's glove

[Skarlet79]

you can see that the actor is only moving his lips but not sing for real but he did a great job.

[tdbrown88tdb]

the reporter was a cunt for asking joe how does he feel about michael in the hospital

[JaayJaay9]

I would've rolled my eyes too. Getting 2nd and 3rd degree burns for somethin JOE wanted. Psshtt.

[ih8suvz]

He had a lot of weird shit in his house.

[GAkemetKiNg]

they say it was after the pepsi comercial that he became hooked on the pain killers

[SaXoPhOnEpLaYeR81]

If u cnt tell he's mouthsinging look again but he was dead on with the moonwalk

[SaXoPhOnEpLaYeR81]

If u cnt tell he's mouthsinging look again

[jasonROXcarlySUX]

@chansmomful well duh! is that not the point?

[ghettokenshin]

RIP Wylie Draper (the guy who played Mike at this part in the movie). He died by a rare form of leukemia a year after the movie came out (1993).

[meltmyfacejesus]

who sings this version of "home" in this movie?

[Die4FamFilmz]

who was the guy who played m.j?

[TeamJacobx12]

@Die4FamFilmz wylie draper he died in 1993 from leukemia RIP

[noreaga12326]

whats the name of this song at the end of this part?

[GamerHero360]

@noreaga12326 the song at the end is called "diana ross-home" duh

[HannDawg7777]

This guys is awesome at playing Michael! But your right CiaraMJJanetJackFan not even close....

[BenJabituya]

Yesterday, I was at the Nintendo World Store in New York City with my best friend, and played "Michael Jackson: The Experience" there. He took some photos of me and a Nintendo World sales associate doing "Thriller". I'm glad I tried it out before buying. They even let you try out a game before buying. I also danced to "Billie Jean" and "Rock With You". There is a learning curve to mimicking the dance moves in that video game. That is one fun game.

[prettyprincex601]

He played Micheal good I bet Micheal was really proud.

[BlindMansEye]

i still cant believe how ppl nowadays often make jokes about mjs hair catching on fire, talkin about how much hair product he had and stuff. i'm like....

you're making a JOKE about someone getting 2nd and 3rd degree burns on their SCALP? gtfo!

[TheYugiohPlaya]

anybody know the song its playing when he gets burned?

[ThomasPercy99]

@TheYugiohPlaya In the real 1984 commercial it was a 'Pepsi' version of Billie Jean but in this it's different

[ohhsooill]

i love the younger years <3

[applezmonroe]

Michael loved wylie draper apparently mj cast him in one of his videos

[lizbethjay]

unbelievable, this guy didnt miss a beat doing billie jean as michael

[misssugar45]

whats the name of that songg i loveee ittt omggggg

[SexyThrillerGuy]

@misssugar45 lol it billie jean hun...one of michael most famous songs

[misssugar45]

@SexyThrillerGuy lol ik that am talking aboutt the songg that playingg at the endd when michael jacksons is stiithing in the chair thinking about his past its like a lady singing?

[SexyThrillerGuy]

@misssugar45 oh lol my bad i think its by diana ross not sure what the name is

[BlindMansEye]

@misssugar45 i dont know the name off the top of my head but its the diana ross ballad from the movie The Wiz that michael was in. i would imagine the word "home" is in the title.

[DominiqueCherry]

I love this version of "Home". Is it Stephanie Mills? I can't find this version anywhere...

[Spideymrw]

@DominiqueCherry It was Vanessa Williams

[JeremiahFulfied]

lol and why was he rolling down stairs lol i dont remember michael doing that

[MegaZakeya]

@JeremiahFulfied No, me either. lolz

[JeremiahFulfied]

he did good but he sucks at lip singing but this is better than chris brown's

[Megabricks69]

@deelishish0991, he looks jus like him. i wonder wat the real mj thought?

[sebestian993]

those were the days....so beautiful..wish i could go back..R.I.P michael

[Mioiscool401]

Gloves on the wrong hand..,

[Megabricks69]

who is the guy that plays michael at this point?

[DeeLishish0991]

@Megabricks69 Wylie Draper..he died also

[MrBIGNICC16]

@Megabricks69 wylie draper

[BrunomarsBigestfan]

@MrBIGNICC16 i dont like wylie draper

[smoke10108]

It's funny how Joe will care for him after he got his hair burn but when it came to his death, he did not even give a shit.

[InfinityArch]

good impersonation, but no where near MJ. Dance moves aren't as smooth, or as defined. MJ was so sure when he was dancing this guys wasn't. still good though

[whiskeygurl70]

michael got burned and all joseph cared about was making money pretty sad excuse for a father

[MegaZakeya]

@whiskeygurl70 I know, that's what I said! :D

[jmacjr101]

@RBlovesKOP That's so true. He may be an heartless you know what but Michael is still his son. I just am angry b.c he made Michael yes but he didn't treat him well at all or the boys!!

[eddychriss1]

Micheal what a beast



[MACHINIMA4]

glove is on the wrong hand

[spritgirl11]

@MACHINIMA4 I think they did that on purpose....

[popalong7]

the guy they guy to play Michael was very good, best one yet that could act and copy the master himself

[MrSurfer432]

Michael jackson A beast!! R.I.P

[rejectofsoul24]

Ha, so it was Joe Jackson's fault!

[reaperxnarutoz66]

He's got the glove on the wrong hand!!!!!! NOOO!!! >:l

[Hurricane500000]

@reaperxnarutoz66 ROFL! 4 real?

[reaperxnarutoz66]

@Hurricane500000 yeah lol xD

[charoy19]

the only black michael jackson impersonator that is the black version of michael jackson not the white version i would love tto see more black michael jackson era impersonators thoo

[MUSICslave808]

@charoy19 CHRIS BROWNS WAS PRETTY SICK

[ThomasPercy99]

@charoy19 THANK YOU!!!!!! I've been saying this for ages and all we see is white boy MJ Impersonators :////

[AyngelGurl]

i think that the close up of michael jackson in the beginning of this part kinder looks like prince.... was he acting as michael jackson aye? far that would be kewl as to act like the king of pop, that would be honourable to play such a great an awesome dude who made a impact on the world!!!

[mj4lyfe101]

Does anybody know who covered this version of "home" by diana ross? That sounds like a different version and cant find it :(

[astroboirap]

weebay's son! haha. the actor who plays michael jackson was in the critically accalimed.... The Wire <3

[WylieDraperFanatics]

@Savanah333 i love wylie draper iam soooo in love

[brownpearlprincess11]

whats the song at 8:25??? please reply...

[radiostar1985]

@brownpearlprincess11  That's "Home" by Diana Ross :)

[TFrOcks25]

@radiostar1985 I know this song is ORIGINALLY sung by Diana Ross, but who sings this version?

[binkybreezy1988]

@TFrOcks25 Stephanie Mills 

[binkybreezy1988]

@radiostar1985 thats Stephanie Mills singing on here though.

[rhoyal22]

@radiostar1985 Actually this is Stephanie Mills singing. She did it first in the Broadway play "The Wiz" BEFORE the movie when Diana Ross sang it. Stephanie's version is the popular one.

[Hurricane500000]

@brownpearlprincess11 diana ross- home try that.

[SLyvetteRob]

@4:44 started the problems . =( =(

[kdogg6406]

Correction !!!....Wylie Draper died of complications due to Leukemia in 1993.....Not Aids in 1991 ....Get it right Thats how stuff gets started....Im just sayin... before you speak ..know what your talking about .......Im out....

[j5lover32543]

he come out of no where i like riding in the ambulance it is wild and the sirrins

[potc8981]

I love the way this part of the movie starts. Nothing like beginning a video with Billie Jean and beautiful movements :) Love you, Michael

[myabrooke]

R.I.P. Michael Jackson and Wylie Draper (the man who played as MJ)

[myabrooke]

i just notice he had the glove on the wrong hand!!!! other than that, everything else was to a T!!!

[jackass181920]

This man played Michael the best...Too bad he died almost right after it was released in 1991 from AIDS..Rest In Peace

[Fatimahrican]

@jackass181920 1993.

[Sezro]

Can someone please tell me who sings this version of "Home"? Starts at 8:25 I really want this version.

[anywayzz]

his glove is on th wrong hand.. but cool lol

[TheContreras5]

pretty nice but R.I.P Michael jackson

[Ranu8346]

Michael was murdered because SONY wasn't able to swindle Micheal out of that music catalog. They thought he was making 2 much money for a black person.

It had the Beatles, Elvis , Little Richard's songs and country artists. SONY was mad when Micheal gave Little Richard the original catalog that he was beat out of in the 50s., when Little Richard was replaced by Elvis Pressley out of racism, now Little Richard gets 10M per year in royalties. SONY was behind the child molestation accusations too

[billydafreak]

@Ranu8346 your facts deserve a lot of thumbs up, Ranu - from 3 young fans of Mj

[AimeeBekkaNeate]

@Ranu8346 thats because sony is run by the illuminati

[Ranu8346]

Michael was murdered because SONY wasn't able to swindle Micheal out of that music catalog. They thought he was making 2 much money for a black person.

It had teh Beatles, Elvis , Little Richard's songs and country artists. SONY was mad when Micheal gave Little Richard the original catalog that he was beat out of in the 50s., when Little Richard was replaced by Elvis Pressley out of racism, now Little Richard gets 10M per year in royalties. SONY was behind the child molestation accusations too

[TheAmazingstarman]

@Ranu8346 Michael also knew who really killed JFK and who orchestrated the 9/11, which also pissed SONY off, SONY are a bunch of blood thursty murderers!

[debbietristan100]

@LindavG Acknowledging that Michael had a problem with prescription meds does not mean that he was a "druggie" and in no way diminishes the wonderful man, father, son, performer & humanitarian that he was. Michael should not die in vain. His death should be a lesson to those with money & power to be careful of the leeches like those who enabled MJ because they wanted his money, the Dr. Feelgoods.

[4ha6]

His glove is on the wrong freaking hand...you think they would've noticed. Kinda hard to miss.

[msInuyasha18]

i love this part of the movie

[mrrobinson11207]

does anyone know how much Pepsi had to pay to settle that law suit, if any??

[MJlover121F]

wow good billie jean immitaion!

it's so like the real billie jean!

thumbs up for the real bille jean!!

and thumbs up for this version of billie jean!!

but no one is lik ethe kop mike!

rip

he looks like him in this one!

[vaboston7]

MICHAEL JACKSON WAS SO TALENTED I WAS HOPING THAT HE WOULD NEVER DIE BUT ALL I WANT TO SAY IS THAT HE WAS THE KING OF POP AND HE WAS VERY VERY TALENTED R.I.P MICHAEL JACKSON

[maskedmagacian]

idgaf

[shazamkid]

i love his footwork on "billie jean". i idolize his sequined glove. i love bubbles. he also had lots of mannequins, there is nothing wrong with that. 

[TheContreras5]

this guy is amazing he really remindes me of young michael hope they make a new more accurate movie!

[Gatosaenz]

This guy impersonates him almost to perfection.

[thomasbaron06]

@Gatosaenz i almost died when he did the moonwalk for the first time =D,

my reaction was the same as his brothers in this scene,

i bit my bottom lip to keep from screaming in excitement XD

lol

[myabrooke]

@Gatosaenz the sad thing about is, he's dead too =\

[PinchinFilms]

MJ was always a drama queen!

[jkool20]

the burn scene is soooo wrong. he did not scream "ow my head!" then fall down the stairs...he ran down the stairs then did a spin 2 try to take the fire out and that didn't work and people started crowding around him.

[VersaceShay]

who sings this version of Home ?

[lpslover88]

bubbles! muscles!

[ma01kcm]

When he smiles from the side, like at 4:09 he is SOOO like young Michael!!!

6:10 poor little Michael, he looks so young, his eyes are just like Michael's wow!

[ma01kcm]

When he smiles from the side, like at 4:09 he is SOOO like young Michael!!!

[CiaraMJJanetJackFan]

he did a good job with playing michael,but this dude dont come close to MJ,not even in this performance.

[TCerious]

@CiaraMJJanetJackFan ur fuckin crazy.. wylie draper(R.I.P) was damn near perfect in this performance, of course its not going to be the exact same because as we all kno, michael is michael - but ur talking shit if you think he didn't come close gtfoh.. even my grandfather said wylie did a GREAT JOB n he saw it live.. so stop ur hating - we all kno he isn't michael!!!

[CiaraMJJanetJackFan]

this part reminded me that i did watch this before..i was really young.around the age of seven or eight.

[FillionDollarSmile]

Michael didnt go "OW MY HEAD" Then bounce down the stairs... His hair caught on fire then he ran down the stairs and Spun to try and put it out then people pilled on top of him !

[ma01kcm]

@FillionDollarSmile Your comment made me roar with laughter, you're right, that was really badly done!!!

[FillionDollarSmile]

I wish they put in the real motown 25 video instead :P

[LMURPHY86]

You can tell he is lip syncin thats not cute at all! but he played a good michael

[sketchley80]

THe song Billie Jean is like the dance song version of the eternal TURN ON!

The timing is rather off here...oh well...lol.

The burn scene makes me cry with heartache...7:40 - Joseph finally figured out this is his son - his flesh and blood...who could have very well died...

[rodsbrown]

4m44

love that song



[u2control]

This guy danced Billie Jean better than the King of Pop did!!!!

[charoy19]

@u2control how the fuck can you say that stupid

[Madelyne093]

@u2control

He was really good! But No one can dance Billie jean better than Michael Jackson ;)

[FillionDollarSmile]

@u2control Ne he didnt :S

[cllgegurl21]

Just wanted to point that is that the reason that in the movie the reason why Wylie had to have the white glove on the left so its not misinterpreted they were making a mockery of Micheal and the actual performances,

[viperfishsasori]

I keep waiting for Joe Jackson to say "Hi There".

[BenJabituya]

4:58 - OUCH!

[gmss6988]

FUCKK YEAHHHHH

[landra124]

luvvvvvvvvvvvvv this movie;)

[gmss6988]

@landra124 did you love it before he died? I know i did

[landra124]

@gmss6988 sry my comment 2 u is above lol ;)

[landra124]

@landra124 yeah i did my dad always wanted 2 b like him as a kid so he was always in my life him n janet
