  • I remember watching this with my older brother and sister when I was in grade 6 in Canada. Those were the days when the whole family would sit around a TV and watch entertainment specials. Different from today. Anyways, we were mesmerized, fascinated and just couldn't stop talking about this performance. It was a revelation. The next day at school while walking to morning class, all the kids were already on the yard trying to emulate the moonwalk. None were successful...no had VCR's.

  • @bieberstar04 Yes. I was 12. My parents made me watch the Mowtown special and I was pissed it. But, I think it worked out in my favor. So, I've had a crush on Michael Jackson since 1983.

  • who watch this in 11.11.11? :)

  • NO ONE WILL EVER DANCE LIKE HE DID EVER

  • Michael was fine! What the heck! He should have stopped the sugery after thriller!

  • 2:36 1980's stanky leg

  • How can you not fall in love with him? He's amazing, perfect, beautiful.

  • he was more like beauty king from our world ,,,,,RIP 1:05

  • THERE WILL NEVER EVER BE  ANOTHER MICHAEL JACKSON IN THIS LIFETIME.

  • @The91995 nor in the other

  • That is true.

  • He was AMAZINGLY entertaining.

  • To paraphrase the late choreographer Michael Peters, Michael was "a dancer in his soul." There will never be anyone quite like him.  Even the immortal Fred Astaire loved his dancing!!!!

  • 30 idiots 30 dislikes

  • Musical genius incarnate! Long live the King of Pop!

  • king

  • I have never been a Michael Jackson fan and I'm not going to lie. Back in my day it was the Jackson 5 fans and the Osmond fans. Not saying you couldn't be both but most people were one or the other in those days. As a result I was never really followed Michael Jackson other than when I had to yell at one of my boys to turn their stereo down. After watching this video however, all I can say is WOW. I have never in my life seen anyone marry dance and music the way he did.

  • FUCK CONRAD MURRAY THUMBS UP IF YOU AGREE!!!!!

  • I was 14 when Motown 25 aired. I had always been a Michael Jackson fan but was blown away by this performance. Truly there will never be another performer to grace the earth like Michael Jackson. He can never be duplicated or imitated. I would never have thought twenty something years later his life would have such a tragic ending. He had it all, looks, talent & personality. My Gosh what went wrong. RIP. You will always be the greatest entertainer of all times.

  • where can i buy that jacket?

  • The 30 Dislikes Are From The KKK looool

  • I love that he got a standing ovation before he performed the song and whoever wasn't standing before was definately standing afterwards, friggin genius.

  • who?? who!!? can possibly don't like this video? ehhh!???

  • Amazinq

    Billie Jeans by willy part1 and 2

  • HE DIDNT SING XD IT WAS THE MUSIC HE RECORDED LONG AGO WHEN THE MUSIC WENT OFF HE WAS STILL SINGING BUT HIS VOICE COULDNT BE HEARD BUT I STILL LOVE U MICHAEL JACKSON

  • UGH ! HE'S SO AMAZING ! I WAS GOING TO SEE HIM LIVE WHEN HE WAS GOING TO GO ON TOUR AGAIN ! URGH !

  • and thus a king was born

  • R.I.P. mj.

  • This was the year before I was born, I think my mom watched this performance and became impregnated.

  • the spin and the tippy toes oooh too cold

  • the biggest mj fan in the 80's that was me classic

  • For those of you who don't know, he did Lip sync this song BUT Michel Jackson himself during that time did say he did NOT like the idea himself, but its by far still the best performance I have seen. I am young, but I know what a classic is Lip synced one time or more does not matter and no I don't jump the band wagon lol.

  • I hate to open up a can of worms regarding this magical performance. But I ask everyone to pause at exactly 4:56. Compare that image with any image of Michael during the Dangerous, HIStory, and Invincible era and you'll see the same man.

    He was telling the truth regarding any "plastic surgery" that the media said he had.

  • best performance in music history!

  • Lip syncing? 

  • @irelandguy

    Yes, he lipsynched during "Billie Jean" eventhough he sang entirely live during the Jackson 5 medley. Lip synched or not, I can't think of too many performances that were as iconic or talked about. Almost 30 years later and we're still talking about this performance. Michael's moves were so precise and it was the first time he did the moonwalk on national tv I believe. It was a superb performance. Michael was so charismatic and talented. I miss him. No one else like him.

  • handsome

  • love it when he says: Especially, I like the new songs!

  • Michaels the baddest dude ever. I was only 1 year old when this glorious phenomenon from which all that is awesome diverges was broadcasted, but I can only imagine how overwhelmingly beyond imagination MJ's Moonwalk debut during Billie Jean triumphantly vanquished boundaries and obstructions on enduring awesomeness and creativity foreverevereverever.

  • @iccarroll I bet people were dazed and amazed so, that they just barley clutched their sanity. Must have instantly resulted in crossed, twitching eyes, drueling, unintelligible babbling, holding on the the floor to stabilize oneself and not fall of of the Earth.

  • All you people who disliked the video. Look at the dislike bar. And now at your penis. See? No difference.

  • i like this song

  • Scintillating performance. No studio magic here folks; no deviation at ALL in sound quality compared to the studio recording. The greatest of his generation.

  • @kyang86

    you know he's not singing here right? he acknowledged lip synching here several times. not to fault him, because pretty much everyone did at that time. agree with you about the generation part though. 

  • Man I love this video so much and the one of him at the mtv video awards doing smooth criminal...best dance moves ever! He has sooo much stage presence. It isn't until watching this I realize how unlucky my generation is w our 'performers'....ugh. At least we have YouTube.

  • thumbs up if you wished you had a timemachine right now!

  • I have watched this over a thausond times and yust can't get enough,

    Omj I really want a time machine ;-D

  • @taigi98 i know how u feel ive been preaching the same thing xD please let me know if u ever get a time machine :) i want to visit the 80s so bad

  • I loVe Michael Jackson

  • this is a magic show man...

  • RIP MJ

  • when the concert ended, he cried because the moonwalk was too short..

  • @pcgamesolution Actually, it was the 'toe stand' after the Moonwalk that he was upset over. He wanted to "freeze" that stand for a longer moment.

    Such a perfectionist... he just blew the collective minds of everybody watching, and he still wasn't happy about that toe stand!

    Amazing performance, Michael. Absolutely amazing performance!

  • THA BOMB SHIT

  • she told me her name was billie jean

  • one of the most amazing things is that this performance was almost 20 years into his career...most ppl burn out after 20 years in the business but he was just getting started...amazing

  • mj ftw

  • go to my videos and watch the video that I put together in honor of Michael dancing only

  • 29 são pessoas que n vivem de musica!

  • I got chills....

  • fred astaire said ure good ... nuf said

  • 29 People are friends with MJ's father!

  • This vid deserves 1,000,000 views in memory of MJ. The greatest of all time.

  • The way Michael dances just gives me goosebumps. He seriously dances like a God. Nobody will ever dance better than the King of Pop.

  • @Mikey111690 He makes that moonwalk look easy, lol, i tried and fell everytime

  • @Mikey111690

    He is a God! yep..

  • Damn... KING OF POP

  • He danced like a god.

  • @tanksbb That's why he performed at The Apollo -- Apollo is the God of All Creativity. See John Lennon.

  • @tanksbb dance*

  • @tanksbb god's and understatement lol

  • I'm honestly not one of MJ's biggest fans... But a man with a talent of not only writing songs and singing songs, but also to dance and perform like he did... I can't think of anyone else in the world whose talent can compare with his.

  • OFF THE HOOK!!! WORDS CAN'T EXPRESS IT!!!!

    IT'S LIKE THE SOUND THAT MIKE MAKES..."AGGH"

    IT'S SO GOOD, THERE'S NO WORD FOR IT, ONLY A SOUND!

  • 4:15 Yeah xD

  • Ah, one of the few people that can properly dance and sing at the same time.

  • There the answer to the argument who is the greatest live performer of all time.

  • This was 7 years before i was born but it just seems so fresh to me and better than anything that is around now!

  • even though this is over 25 years ago i still sit in my room and scream when he does the moonwalk

  • gawjus from the inside and out a true legend

  • Thats not MJ!! That guy is Black! WTF?

  • @beanz966 Ur not funny asshole!

  • @Xelhawashere What do you mean?

  • @beanz966 Michael Jackson was always black, he might have not looked like it physically its cause of a disease called vitiligo.

  • @Xelhawashere Don't be rediculous, thats the feeling of motion and dizziness when you're stationary.

  • @beanz966 ur an idiot
