  • he is legend!

  • 2 people are Billie Jean's baby dadddy's.

  • This Motown 25 performance was when little boy Michael Jackson, lead singer of The Jackson 5 became ***MICHAEL JACKSON ***WORLD SUPERSTAR!!!

    Fun Fact: MJ had said that the only thing that really bothered him about this performance was when he moonwalked, spun, and was SUPPOSED to stay frozen on his tip toes for a few seconds (3:43). MJ said for some reason he couldn't hold the pose like he wanted. It was a cool move that he would master very smoothly later on.

  • People that dislike this has a mental problem

  • I love this moment: 3:30 - 3:43.

  • 3:38

  • My 2 year old cousin was screaming and crying and I picked him up and took him to the computer put this on and he stopped! Now that's magic.

  • That 1 person who disliked this video, can snap back to reality and change the error of his/her ways

  • whoever thought that making a song about a girl accusing you of being the father would be soo fuckennnnnNNN good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • poetgrande08: On the eve of the second anniversary of Michael Jackson's passing, you said it so perfectly. Thank you! RIP Michael, you will never be forgotten.  We love you.

  • does that Justin Bieber dislike this???

  • This performance totally overshadowed Jackson 5 medley MJ performed with his brothers right before this.

  • WHOO only 1 dislike lol THIS WAS ON MY BIRTHDAY :D anyways Michael Rest In Peace .... King of Pop

  • 1 person cant do a moonwalk.

  • @MrHarrobarro1 i think his kids can do the moonwalk just like him ..

  • @Paintday So what? That doesnt matter at all.

  • he touches you in the deepest of your heart, the beauty doesnt matter

  • música de las estrellas, para las estrellas

  • Unborn children even know Michael Jackson!

  • He really was the voice of our generation.

  • we miss u michael

  • i still don't understand why he had plastic surgery done on his nose and stuff he looked really good before and honestly i know he couldn't help the fact that he had a desease but he did look alot better black thumbs up if you agree

  • who is this idiot??

  • He-he-he!!!

  • There a person must to to doctor and check his ears

  • Swear to god. I wanna be Michael's wife til the end of time

  • Is he mimming?

  • Simply fucking unrivalled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • the king

  • Just one word: EPIC!

  • I remember this it was all

  • An out-of-this-world performance....

  • Michael Jackson was, is and will we wait for a wile a year a decade even a century ...........

  • Simply the greatest everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrr

  • HIS FASHION SET THE STAGE FOR TODAY'S SWAGG. HIS DANCE SET THE STAGE FOR TODAY'S DANCES. HIS MUSIC SET THE STAGE FOR MODERN POP-MUSIC

  • I actually remember this! Back when MJ ruled the industry--awesome

  • the 1 dislike can kill BIEBER CYRUS AND JONAS

  • AMAZING

  • He had the world in his hand squeezed to hard and lost it all.What the hell happened ????

  • how the hell could he have cried after putting a performance like THAT!

  • @mj4ever91 I know, I remember watching an interview and he said that went he did the spin and finished on his toes that he wanted to hold it longer than he did and that made him so upset... WHAT???????

  • Michael Jackson will forever be an example of "excellence". Amazing... Love you Mike!

  • THE GOD OF DANCE ♥

  • Idk about you guys but I could NOT perfom at my brothers funeral even if I was famous. I wouldn't talk yet PERFORM..I hope it wasn't some publicity stuff it should have been from the heart.

  • nice sound quality

  • RIP MJ He rox!! Go Michael J!! Best performer who ever lived!

  • This man is the epitome of the word TALENT. MJ may have had his troubles during his life, which I believe, are partly due to his lifstyle for the first 20 years, but the talent and dedication this man showed to his work and to his fans is unrivaled. NO-ONE CAN, OR WILL COME CLOSE TO MJ! If anyone thinks, or knows that there is, PLEASE, DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT ME!! (and a record label, if you havent already done so!) x

  • 26\06/2009-26/06/2010 r.i.p. my king ;(((((

  • hes so cute when he closes his eyes in the end! god bless u michael! xx

  • I mastered every move (no ones better than mj) except the moonwalk

  • @w3ww5 so did i, but im working on the moonwalk. :)

  • could you imagine him trying to sing while dancing like that? it wouldn't happen. shit yeah he's lip syncing, but a) he more than makes up for it with his moves and b) he didn't lip sync in most of his concerts so it's not like he made a pattern of this. and he's a great performer but he's kinda over rated and all of his die hard 'fans' soaked up the media's exploitation of his death. he was very troubled, let him die peacefully. everyone turned his funeral into a freak show.

  • amazing. nuff said

  • gotta love that man MJ FOREVER!!!!

  • those are some amzing dance moves i wish i could do em just look at the way his feet move so slickly across the ground

  • it looks as if he is lip syncing

  • well he is but you can hear him doing some of the ad libs, but its funny about this performance he thought he did such a terrible job on it and cried and was really upset backstage, it turned out to be his most historic and most remembered performance of his career lol

  • @slowframe whatever ok, this was an awesome performance! pay attention to his moves! wow!

  • @slowframe Uhh...maybe because he IS lip syncing? I mean, he has to focus on his dancing.

  • @RaneNytku That's pretty gay, I like him and his songs but that's just silly. If i go to a concert i go to fken hear him perform not watch his ass dance. I want to hear the nukka sing not some tape recording. Granted that was him singing in the tape recorder but why would i go to a concert when i can hear the cassette/disc at the time.

  • @slowframe Quit the crappy attitude, I only told you he was lip syncing.

  • @slowframe u would go to see his amazing dancing u retard!!!!

  • I remember my mom showing me this video and the Jackson reunion here on Youtube just maybe a few months before Michael died.

    Her only words were "Man, those were some good looking boys!" lol

  • Thank you so much for uploading this. Superb!

  • his great!!

  • 27 years later and this performance is still UNTOUCHABLE! There will never be another Michael Jackson and I'm personally still shaken by the careless nature of his death. This was a real loss and will be felt for years to come.

  • even if you click 'HD' it won't show the video in HD because you couldn't get it back then. All the guy who uploaded it did was batch it into HD. It doesn't make it HD

  • lovekissyou

  • I'm only 13 ( but I'm mature, don't worry. I'm not like those other 13 year old girls who only worry about boys and makeup) and I always thought of Michael Jackson as the gy who used to be black but bleached himself. Then he died ( 8 days before my 13th birthday) and watching specials about him made me respect and love him and crave him soooo much! I thought about how sexy he was in his "Thriller" days, and how innocent he was as an adult. Now I know everything about him and I love him a bunch!

  • he died the day after my 13th. it sucked. i miss him so much

  • its justa amazing how many mj haters there was before he died and now every one loves him int it a bit 2 late maybe if every one was like they are now a yr ago he wud probs still be alive people just need 2 rember him 4 the good stuff and not the rubish that caused his fall r.i.p mj

  • yes quite sad.

    too bad we have to lose thigns b4 they can be appreciated

  • people should appreciate things whilst they have them your right u never no when your going to loose them if every one lived by that the world would be a better place

  • yes.

  • true words!

  • like they say an original is always worth more than a copy. i love you michael rest in peace angel<3

  • noone will ever will be like him

    WE WILL MISS Y MICHAEL

    hope see you when ill leave this world

  • I love how he wore his mom's sweater! That's sweeet

    It broke my heart when I found out he cried right after this performance cause he didn't think it was good enough :(:(

  • How can he dance like that?????No one can move like him..i love u MJ

  • How the hell did he move his body like that? No one dances like him !

  • this is awesome

  • beautiful spin michael, there will be many copy catters but only one original!

  • i like it mj

  • 26 years ago :O

  • MOONWALK :D

  • It's even more amazing when you see him performing this song live in front of your eyes,

    I'm proud that I can say that I've seen him doing this live during his History concerts in 96/97 and I couldn't believe my eyes.

    There are a lot of good singers, good dancers and good entertainers but MJ had the best of those three worlds combined in his incredible talent.

  • did you know that thye sweter michael wore was his mom's.

  • yes

  • I Was There

  • The man danced his ass off that night and then carried his brothers through the Victory Tour the next year. Unbelievable performer..if not "the greatest of all time" then at least "the hardest to take your eyes off of."

  • I cant stop watching this clip. Someone help me with some pills please...:P

  • Michael was God's gift to us and when we stop appreciating him, he was taken back.

  • What a performer, what a genius. The world will NEVER see another like Michael Jackson. He was a gift to us all.

  • MJ IS greater than Elvis. IMO.

  • ya easily much better

  • You just can´t say that man, it´s like to compare a lion with a tiger, they are both wild animals, they were simple unique at their one way.

  • my friend is making me a 7 inch custom of this. any offerS?

  • i get freakin chills every time i see this its so good

  • Happy Birthday Michael! We will miss you!!

  • Just want to add....Michael I love u. I miss u. RIP and happy birthday. We will never ever ever forget u. You are a true icon.

  • I think half the country had that same experience. Millions of people were were in awe that night, lol. I don't remember much from my child hood but I remember the whole house going crazy that night as if we all had witnessed magic.

  • Man I remember watching this in my living room with my parents and we had a lot of company over that night. When he did that moonwalk we went WILD! My dad said HOT DAM THAT BOY IS BAD! I will never forget it.

  • 1983......The moonwalk was born

  • Actually no, it was out before that. :P

  • well first time preformed by michael jackson

  • the glove was a little ibg durning this preformance

  • An epic performance in the history of music.

  • I miss him.

  • I doubt that, someone people would never think Michael was better.

    They were both kings in their own styles, but of course I prefer Michael.

  • Man michael you are so amazing. I love watching you perform. Wow I love you.. R.I.P MJ..

  • there will never be no one like Michael Jackson

  • that was in march 25 right

  • This was in 1981, not 83

  • it was 1983 ...

  • nah it was 83

  • Uh... 1981 was the year before Thriller was released... This was 1983

  • Starting On 2:00 It Looks Like He's Doin' The Stanky Leg..! So Technically He Helped To Invent That Move..!R.i.p. Michael Jackson..! You Will Be Missed Forever..! I Love You..!

  • 3:30-3:55. nuff said.

  • why didn't god bless more people with such talent?

  • beyond legendary!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Long Live The King!

  • He was THE entertainer...indeed he was

  • He broke his nose in rehersals and had to get surgery he complaned of breathing difficulties and had another nose job he had 2 afta time he got addicted to facial surgery.:( its not his fault x

  • Just brilliant

    4ever and always we will always love you..:D x

  • ART IN MOTION...

    Beatiful...

    Love you for ever MJ!!

  • this is awsome he is so cool im so sad he died

  • im talking about the nose jobs! he didn't get his nose burned..did he?

  • I will never understand why he made Plastic Surgerys... He looked so great in this Time 1980 - 1986 ... After these Years every Plastic Surgery was made him downhill ... Sorry for the Honest Words :)

  • Well it was never really his fault his skin turns white because of a skin disease and he got nose jobs because he had an obsession (not his fault) because his dad kept calling him ugly and stuff so thats why he had an obsession and thats also why ppl say he molested a kid he just wanted to have a dad like everyone else becuz he didnt have that he gave kids that just because he made neither lands ppl made fun of him..

  • he actualy only had 2 nose jobs done, 1 because of his dad calling him ugly and 1 to help him get the higher notes..well at least that's what michael said on an interview

  • Comment removed

  • he makes his footwork look so easy. it ridiculous.
