Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing - Jackson5

[amozoness6]

Michael truly had a gift. It's like he had been here before...

[candacesuero]

This version is actually more meaningful to me than Tammy and Marvins'. I love the original no doubt, but this tempo's slower and sung with more compassion. It pulls my heartstrings in a way that the other can't.

[foolery15]

yeah...no one else in the jackson 5 had soul like michael did. when i first heard this version, i heard (whoever that jackson is) first, and i thought to myself, uh, nope, and switched back to marvin and tammy. BUT this time i stayed until michael came on.

[Londonfallz314]

i'm only 12 and 70's music is the best I do not like today's music because they sing about the same thing sex girls and money back then it was about love

[misslucianacamino]

@Londonfallz314 Really? Interesting again... But have you ever listen Michael's next albums or not? Because he was the best til the end of his life...

[cab12000]

i love the ticking sound idk why but it compliments their different approach to the original sound

[pqz91]

Donny and Marie Got NOTHING on the Jackson 5...the Jacksons own it.

[MrMajkellowaxd]

The Jacksons 5 in the best songs in the best brother ! <333

[kokede]

[bebreezy93]

Too me, even tho I lovee Michael McDonalds cover of the song.. I loveeee this one!!

[bebreezy93]

Love Mike & Jermaines voice. Jermaine's voice is soo dang smoootth.

[chris7040]

[shaaban103noble]

[gee3dee]

i love this song...mymost favorite version is this one and aretha franklins version she sung at the grammies in about 1978...or something like that...when she recieved her 10th grammy in a row!

[cvw1]

[0812820]

Some songs were done perfectly the first time and should be left alone. Frankly, this song is one of those. The Marvin & Tammi original is musical excstasy.

[eugenehilter09]

the best cover of this song is aretha franklin and the jackson 5 they took it to a different level

[1984Janis1]

You ain't never lied.

[eugenehilter09]

lol

[ilovemj4life322]

Donny and Marie?! PLEASE. don't take this the wrong way, but you must be white huh?

[OmeletteThePuppy]

I'M white and I puke at the mention of Donny and Marie.

[7fire7ice7]

lol

[frozenking07]

@OmeletteThePuppy LOL LOL LOL Funniest comment ever!

[glo1947777]

I have to say with all pure honesty, they worked this...

[MJJR1]

This song was written specifically for Marvin Gaye and Tammy Terrell by that great song writing duo, Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson. While not the original recording, the tempo was slowed down to feature the unique aesthetic of the group's harmonic ablities. Jermaine shared lead vocals on this recording, who is an amazing vocalist in his own right. In a word, this is simply a beautiful, stylized rendition of the original..

[NandoRocha71]

R.I.P.!!! MICHAEL!!!!!

We love you!!!!!

[burntrubber11]

RIP michael jackson

[THESILENTBOATMAN]

PLEASE, not in the same breath.

[Holdenon3]

Donny & Marie did a faithful Marvin and Tammi impression, but the Jackson 5 took this song to a brand new height. No wonder we all loved them.

[mjackson0808]

awwe , they are SO cute .

i LOVE them < 3

[whiplash567]

i like this one, but i rele do perfer donny and marie's version. dont get me wrong, i love both groups, but this song worked better for donny and marie

[wallabeewhat2]

THis version is good too, giving the JAckson 5 twist... Donny and MArie's is ok. But imho, THE best and the greatest version is the original, MARVIN GAYE AND TAMMI TERRELL's. Now, that is what good music is all about...

[sexanoe]

rofl donny and marie? that corny pos cover has nothing on marvin and tammi

[walkermd08]

that sound is real too my ears, i miss the real good things in music.

[db32585]

they've put a hurtin on EVERY SINGLE ORIGINAL THEY'VE REDONE! str8 genius!

[xoxrollercoastersxox]

Im only 13 and I love 70's music!! especially Marvin gaye and the Jackson 5!! I wish I could go back to that time!

[dowdymia]

You would have loved it because I grew up in the 70's.

[Patrick52395]

[misslucianacamino]

@xoxrollercoastersxox That's really interesting! Everybody want to back the time... Me too! I didn't want that end for Mike... He didnt't deserve it... Never!

[eternallyronan]

Prefer the Donny & Marie version, this starts off WAAAAAAAAAY too slow!

[nickmorgan19457]

Did you really just mention Donny & Marie in the comments for a Jackson 5 vid?

[cab12000]

@nickmorgan19457 um they did a cover on that song too... so yea

[TheToltec]

Sooooo Awesome. A 10 Post! 5 Stars:) I LOVE IT!!

[dstrong999]

DAMN! What the @#$% happend to nowadays R&B? It's crap. Todays artist ain't got NOTHING on the artists of yesteryear! I'll admit that. AND I WAS BORN IN 1977!

[dstrong999]

Give me a time machine ANYDAY!

[pigstaanime]

[hillharpersgurl]

I really like this version of this song. I jus wish youtube could have kept the video of them performing this song.

[frozenking07]

[dstrong999]

YEah, I knew I should've downloaded it. Damn!

[frozenking07]

[LJ43094H]

[negateattack]

[aytrain24]

Damn that boy can sing (well all of em) but Mike and Jermaine killed this one. MJ was the truth.

[JokerKidd4life]
