the musician and singers are so in tune it appears that the stage is swaying back & fourth and if you watch this video closely your eyes will start dancing to,now thats a performers dream to set a groove that hypnotizes its audience. most of us will agree that joe jackson parenting skills needed some improving but he as a father wanted his kids to be the best,look at them now michael & his brothers set the bar for perfomers as we know. joe had good intentions he just went about it the wrong way
i dont think the drummer is playin the drums. sounds like a backing track. cause when he rolling i hearing a snare hit still going on. and he hittin rim and you hearing snare sound. but great song though.
@mmentor656 Fuck katt williams crackheaded height challenged ass!!! Micheal neevr did mess with those boys and katt williams need to keep his mouth shut!!
@Sisiyingying It looks hard to wash but it's like anybody's hair being washed. As it is thicker it might take longer and may shrink. I saw a photo of Mj's hair when it was wet and it slightly flattened. He looked like Corbin Bleu.
Paintday, when you said HD, you really meant it. Thanks. Makes my viewing more enjoyable. Here, I get reminded how the J5 got me mesmerized when I watched their concert in Manila when I was 21 years old, in the 70's. Michael just left me in awe.
I GOT MEMORIES...TO LOOK BACK ON.. THO THEY HELP WHEN YOU'RE GONE...I'M WELL AWARE...NOTHING CAN TAKE THE PLACE OF YOUR BEING HERE!!! I KNOW IT'S THERE..BUT I WISH HE WERE STILL HERE!!
He studied all of the greats up close and personal at a time when you had truly great artists. Artists with music that have stood the test of time (sorry Justin Bieber fans) . I think he's the last of the true song and dance men. The greatest entertainer ever to touch a stage hands down! Usher is nice, but I don't think they'll ever be another Mike. Not in these days and times.
Now are you judging his talent to sing based on some hatred for him or from un bias point of view? Only difference if compared to the same age of preforming, is that MJ could hit a higher pitch. I don't have a love or a hate for Beiber so I'm not going to judge him unfairly for no reason. Beiber gets the same amount of attention MJ got when he was young if not more. Now I'm not saying he will be a legend like MJ(or am I discounting MJ), but he shouldn't be denied the chance.
the beathes are the best band and ever, the jackson five are the second and the jonas brother are the worse copy of the jacksons and the worse band and ever
man micheal jackson sings better then anybody on this planet honestly its 2011 and no one haven't measure up to this man. he was truly a gift to this world. rip mike
aint ntn like the Michael and Jermaine due-o... those 2 2qetha were unstoppable... there will never be anotha due-o like tht in THIS life time... R.I.P. Michael...
This right here is so me. During this time Jermaine a great musician had the best afro known to man. Michael is just Magically Delicious, beyond belief, Jackie is just fine and has a great voice; Marlon is classicly talented and looks like Tito; Tito is a great musician with a good voice and looks like Marlon. This was my childhood and teen years. I am sograteful to have been there then, with my old ass. But the music in the 70s was always amazing. Real musicians playing real instruments
man this really brought back memories. i remember seeing them sing this song a the flip wilson show. this was great. there can never be another group like the J-5. their timing was oh so perfect. thanks for posting this;and for me to see this again after all of these years,it's just so amazing how fresh this performance of theirs still is.
Thank you so very much for posting this outstanding quality video. I never saw the Jackson 5 performing The Real Thing before. I heard Tammi Terrell and Marvin Gaye deliver this song. Michael was so sweet in this performance. The brothers were wonderful. The Jackson 5 were extraordinary in their stage performance. We were so blessed to have The Jackson 5 in our lives. Michael looked happy having the opportunity to share his gifts with so many. Love and respect always to my beloved Michael!
People can say all the negative comments they want about Michael, but in the end he was without a doubt the greatest entertainer of all time; a world wide cutural phenomenen and prodigy. If we could live a thousand lifetimes, we will never see this kind of talent again.
@superprisonguard DAME! IT COULDNT HAVE BEEN SAID BETTER THANK YOU FROM MICHAEL JACKSONS BIGGEST FAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND I GAVE YOU A THUMBS UP!!!!!!!!!
@ranmae57 BullSh*t! There will never be another Micheal;) The King of Pop title is & will 4ever be his 4 life, they said the same thing about Usher, J. Timberlake & C. Brown also. Justin is just fav of the month until some1 else time 2 have their 15min of fame. No1 is willing 2 put their Blood, Sweat & Tears in2 their Skill, Talent & profession like M.J. did. The mold was broken after him, he's the last of the Mohicans. I'll give justin 2 yrs r less, just wait and see.
This is a great performance by the Jackson 5. Probably one of the best we will see caught on film. People can say what they will about Mike and the gang but make no mistake this was history i the making right here. You don't see groups with the stage skills the the J5 had and that goes for many motown groups such as the Tempts, Four Tops and the list goes on and on. Thanks so much for this high quality treasure. I enjoyed it very much.
