The Jackson 5 1972 Royal Variety Performance

[corinelyne]

superbe; merci

[5point0]

So nice to find - just incredible performance!

[HowieP]

I got some juicy info courtesy of Jermaine's new book, You Are Not Alone, Michael. Just before this very performance, when the J5 touched down, British customs asked how long were they gonna be in London, and drummer Johnny Jackson replied "Long enough to f*%k your queen!" That comment almost got him deported back to the US, but Joseph and Suzanne de Passe smooth things over. They let Johnny have it later.

@HowieP ha thats hilarious

[Hero87]

Was this at the Royal Albert Hall in London?

[StarlettaPJones81]

[fluffypillow916]

[MsMarykapa]

So so so so amazing!!! Michael was definitely born to dance and sing,natural talent send by God.

[computermaster]

God please do a miracle and send his soul back!

[JeremyForest]

This is an awesome concert footage! Nobody couldn't touch the Jackson 5. Tito and Jermaine did show true musicianship playing their instruments. But, it was Michael Jackson that showed showmanship at a young age.

[bassistdc]

Jermaine is awesome on the love you save.

[bassistdc]

Love those harmonies before the love you save.

[queektube]

[mx21j]

[61barbie]

CLASSIC! Priceless - the harmonies are absolutely beautiful. Michael's energy levels are so amazing and his voice is just breaking. Wonderful - star quality shining out - the KING performing for the Queen Mother. so cute when he's just being a brother and starts laughing at one of the others when Tito is playing his solo.

[123Iloveturtles123]

OMG Flairs LOL!

[Anointed7]

Michael breaking out on his own!

God's gift to the earth!

[Lindethiel]

The fact that these boys can perform so smoothly through multiple songs for TEN MINUTES is a testament to their genius, talent, and immortality. All hail the J5, the last of the classic groups.

[sunrisesunset51]

The great thing about the J5 is that even though you can't really hear Marlon, Jackie, and Tito on vocals -- it was definitely a two-singer band -- the three of them weren't expendable at all. Tito can definitely rock that guitar.

[sexykira24]

stop and look at 4:09 - 4:25 u see michael finger pointing at marlons butt

[sexykira24]

stop and look at 4:09 - 4:16 u see michael finger pointing at marlons butt

[vanecamil94]

[stardreamgirl]

AWESOME...

[stan123blue]

this live? omg this is better then anything ive seen this generation.

[NicNacPTac01]

This was one of those times that Michael was extra cute, he went thru different stages like we all do, but there were certain times that he was really pretty, this was one of those times. Also when Michael was younger, he was really pretty and when he was 18 and 19 he was really sexy and handsome and also when he was 21 thru 28 he was beautiful. Growing up Michael was always fine, but there was something extra going on with him at those stages that was just breathtaking.

[dbastard1977]

@NicNacPTac01 I so agree with you. At age 14, 18-21 gosh he was so cute and fine!!!

[LongCreek1961]

I love seeing the 'Funky Chicken' dance at the end. This takes me back! Michael was a Magical Child and became a Magical Man for all time. L.O.V.E. to Michael F.O.R.E.V.E.R.! :) Nancy

[sexykira24]

[hui727]

Michael is very cute.

[klizy18]

i wish i was alive back then to see young michael sing and perform!!!

[jhburton12]

@klizy18 me too

[pantex1928]

Those kids knew their craft. Now a days, it's all about lip sync, backing tracks, and autotune to make the voices sound perfect.

[Bella760205]

Wow MJ is amazing..even at that age. Unbelievable.

[mcuar1]

4:38 is so cute

[sarleela]

Rockin Michael :)

[GogoPandamonium]

the audience hear sounds dead, but the jackson 5 rocked the stage

[lrwsoreal]

yeah they did, but i think they were quiet because they were playing for the queen, so the crowd was most likely just being repsectful

[Caroldvs]

Fantastic job. Amazing MJ.

Isn't this the same variety show--done for the Royal Family--that the Beatles played in 1963? They sure had a lot GREAT entertainers on there giving incredible performances!

[lrwsoreal]
