I wonder if Mike wore briefs or trunks under those sexy slinky pants. Dang, I wish I could have been a fly on his dressingroom wall. That would've made my day!
The fact that Michael was such a unique and special talent caused people to imply that the rest of the brothers were without talent. When you see a performance like this, you have to admit that they are all talented in their own right.
Young Michael was full off *%ss and vinegar ! lol. He could dance all over the entire stage and keep right on singing !! Does anyone know how incredibly difficult that is !? It's nearly impossible, yet he did it for years ! I'll always love the J5 (J6) and MJ is king forever !! No other earthly king tops him in my estimation !!
It's amazing that he was only 17 years old here. And people are crazy enuf to compare Justin Bieber to this? They're just dying for a "great white hope". Trust, there will never be another performer on Mike's level. Ever. And Justin Bieber isn't even good enough to clip Mike's toenails. I understand there is a market for him but to compare him to MJ is just....blasphemous.
Welli ts the media that do that so why say bad things about him;read what you say. Bieber never said he was another Mj and only praises him,which is more than some of the fools Michael worked with have done.Petiod
@supermjjfan1 Whatever. Like I said, the media or whoever, is looking for a great white hope, and the fact that MJ probably would've encouraged him doesn't change that. He's nowhere near this level of talent.
These live performances just prove Micheal had a whole different energy when he performed with his brothers. He was great solo but when you add the choreograph with his brothers, he was out of this world.
OMG I have heard that intro so many times in some doco's and internet video's. I knew the song was JACKSON related but now it makes so much sense. So far ahead of their times. As one they were a force to be reckoned with. ADOPT ME JACKSON'S.
They move as if these mics don't have cords. Up until the Victory Tour ALL of their concerts had mics with cords and they all moved as if they have cordless mics. That must have taken hundreds of hours of practice alone.
of course Michael is the most talented but his bros are really good in their right.
I appreciate being able to view this 1974 performance from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas! I adore the Jacksons. They truly were professional musical artists. They had such energetic energy. The stamina that the Jacksons had was astonishing. I don't know how they danced and also sung for that length of time. Their chorography was magnificent. I would have enjoyed being able to attend this show. The Jacksons were so handsome, gifted and talented. Mrs. Jackson must have been so proud of them!
I'm so sorry I made a mistake and pressed on dislike. This was an error! So Sorry about the accident. Please minus 1 negative. I then went and pressed like!
eran grandiosos bailando y Michael me deja sin palabras con una energía y una increíble capacidad de trabajo y talento artísticoThey was so great, thank.
well this must of been during the process of them leaving, it most likely had nothing to do with randy because he was with the group when they were with motown, but as far as the whole j5 name, they had to relinquish that once they left motown, so they were probably still with the label just not on a corresponding level with motown
I am reading J. Randy Taraborrelli Bio on the Jackson Family and the fact that the Jackson's played Vegas is in here...so here I am watching the video and thinking how just before they went on stage Jermaine walked out on his family. Michael Jackson had a forgiven heart. after all Berry Gordy did to his family, he still held Berry in high regard. I am comparing this book to MJ's Auto Bio anywho...I miss and Love you MJ
I love Michael's face here, in the transition from teenager to adult, but still a little bit childish, and I like how happy he looks, unaware of all the hardships he would encounter later in life. RIP
this is an amazing live performance..god the amount of work & effort it must take to execute such perfect precision dancing &singing clear &great in to the mic must be ridiculous..but it seems to be worth it...
It amazes me how they could keep this pace of dancing and singing at the same time...so awesome.

I watched the second time to see the handsome Marlon and Jackie dance.

I watched the fourth time to dance around the house.
I watched the fifth and sixth time cause it got so good to me I couldn't stop!!!
