Michael Jackson and The Jackson 5 -- Motown 25 (From Superstar to Megastar)

[SilasWashington]

Michael Jackson was always in His singing and His dancing, He put all He had into it.

[kindofblue21]

@SilasWashington I do so agree with you, he always gave of himself completely in every performance.

[SilasWashington]

@kindofblue21 That was how He was different from everyone.

They are all wonderful , but MJ just has so much charisma , he is always the center of attn ..It was an amazing performance, remember seeing it when it was first on tv and everybody jumped out of their chairs applauding ..This man was a real gift as a singer , dancer and best of all a teacher, he just had so much to share with the world..A huge loss for all of us..

[kindofblue21]

@lovetommezz He was so shy and modest and yet the minute he walks on stage you can't take your eyes off him. An incredible talent and a lovely man.

[CAROLYNMARIE18]

MAN these guys were always so great no one will ever hold a candle to them and of course Michael was and is the DREAM Dang I miss Him tears

[kindofblue21]

@CAROLYNMARIE18 Of course he was fantastic as a solo artist but I always enjoy watching Michael perform with his brothers too. Wish we were watching him in person instead of just a video.

Motown 25!!! Great Choice! When he did the Moon Walk back then it gave me goosebumps and my mouth dropped open, I thought, I've got to see that again and then he did it again!!... I think everyone's hairs were standing on end!!! Like a bolt of Electricity going through your veins!! Everybody was talking about it!

[kindofblue21]

@VisionofLoveandPeace Yes I remember this as being one of the main items on the news on TV. It is perhaps hard for people not around then to realise the stunning effect it had.

[VisionofLoveandPeace]

@kindofblue21 Yes you are so very right! At the time that we saw it, we didn't know what it was! There wasn't a name for it...We just thought he was walking on air!!! I'm not sure how the name "Moon Walk" was developed. I just remember how happy I was for him! I knew at that point that he really was going to make it on his own and I knew that there was way more to come!!!

[8mycrab]

I'm think I"m trying to say that in the J5 he seemed more relaxed to be himself. As "Michael Jackson" it seemed he felt he needed to create a "personna". Also the sudden fame made him go more inward from all the media attention and later negative attention.

He was happier in the Jackson 5.

[kindofblue21]

@8mycrab That's just how I feel about it. And I think he became surrounded by people who just wanted a piece of him but didn't have his best interests at heart. But that was yet to come, on this night he had the world at his feet.

[8mycrab]

That STILL gives me goosebumps! I was working during the actual airing and heard about it the next day. They re-ran his moonwalk on some program that week and I was finally able to see it. I agree, it shot him into superstardom but (this is my perception) it started a change in him. During the Grammys, I kept saying to Michael (the tv, lol), "Take those damn sunglasses off!". He was perfectly fine (and handsome) without them accepting for Off The Wall, now he's wearing shades? Grrrrr.

[CAROLYNMARIE18]

An outstanding Video your right I Love this thank you (P&L) he will always be here for me I'll always be looking for him around the next corner

[kindofblue21]

@CAROLYNMARIE18 Me too. He'll always be in my heart now. I'm glad you love this too.
