Absolutely fucking phenomenal !!! Such a raw, amazing god given talent!! The greatest this world have ever seen and are likely to ever see!!! You'll never be forgotten Michael, the world is a lonely place without you Michael. Sleep tight, I love you! Xx
Amazing how a 9 year old could be this talented. I think his title of King Of Pop and The Greatest Entertainer Of Alltime is safe. I don't see ANYONE ever being on his level. If you look at all of his achievements and records that he has set you can say he has set the bar out of reach but you know there will be some IDIOT that will argue the point oh this person or that person is better.
he sounds better as a child, before he knew how to control his voice. i love the jackson fives days better cuz MJ killed it with singing from the soul
I read on a Wikipedia site about different honorary titles given to entertainers throughout the years. There are several Kings of Rock & Roll, many Queens & Princesses of Pop, Godfathers of this & that, but only ONE King of POP! They ought to create a channel just for MJ on TV- 24/7 nothing but MJ/Jacksons. I'd watch it and NEVER tire of it! If that little kid only knew of his future that lie ahead of him.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! michael, yeay, michael go(: we love you soo muchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh(:!
The boy who would be King! You people do realise that MJ is one of those people who will be talked about in a 1000 yrs from now if the human race is still in existence? So fucking unique in every way.
The "Reactions" list should have "More Than Incredible" as a listing!!! This is hardly just "incredible" ... it is GENIUS!! How could little Michael be that freaking TALENTED!!! NOBODY is that talented at that young age!!
God not only touched Michael's beautiful heart, but he touched his vocal chords and his little feet also!!
HBD KING to be sooooo young an talented was and is a blessing he was tooo cute in this video and that voice OMG so soulful and he doing the dance steps they all killed it
Fred Astaire is quoted saying, “Oh, God! That boy moves in a very exceptional way. That’s the greatest dancer of the century” and upon his death was further quoted saying, “I didn’t want to leave this world without knowing who my descendant was. Thank you Michael!”Happy b-day G.O.A.T
This is solid gold. My mom saw them when I was a little kid, and when asked how it was she said: 'They were great. But the little guy...is really something.'
Michael, i just wanna say one thing: WHAT THE HECK WERE YOU THINKING? At the age of 10 already being as good as a singer can get and somehow improving these already EPIC dance moves year by year? It blows my mind. Nobody's got that spark, creativity, or passion to the ultimate extremes that Michael had. What a boss! What more can i say? Simply the greatest of all time. And even Berry Gordy, the genius behind that camera, agrees. :)
Unbelievable. Just think, Michael was only 10-years old here and he was ALREADY performing this amazingly!! Look at his dancing!! Geeeezzz, It's CRAZY-PERFECT!! Obviously, when little Michael was born, God decided to pour every kind of talent into little mj, and then on top of it all, God touched little mj's heart and said, "There little Michael, go forth and bless the world with your many talents, your love and your compassion." AND, Michael DID! Aw, miss him terribly.
@htw4mj perfect way to put it. he sure did! he's a once in an eternity person for sure. Best child star by far, not to mention just the all around best star
Absolutely agree with you. so far I could never ever seen anyone can/could sing and dance like Michael at his age. He IS/WAS the BEST ever, Michael will be FATHER OF Pop Music after thousands of years, like Picasso and Mozart.....
OMG look at the people! That's was really something to see especially back in the 60s & 70s. To be 5 poor little black boys from Gary, IN who went on to become worldwide superstars. That say a lot.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Um, what a minute. We have people on this thread saying a talent like this only comes along "once in 500 years or so." Others write "Michael no one can replace you."
Don't you realize this entire performance is a move-by-move IMITATION of James Brown? A JAMES BROWN only comes along every 500 years. No one can imitate JAMES BROWN. It's EASY to imitate Michael Jackson, because he was imitating James Brown his whole careeer!
James--every 500 years. Michael--every 10years after James.
@InsightWisdom Michael and James Brown are both totally amazing. James inspired Michael, that's why he wanted to be like him. Both Michael and James don't come very often...no one can be like either of them, they're both very, very talented artists, in fact, they're some of the best.
@InsightWisdom You seem to be only judging from this performance. Michael's career and artistry was may more vast then a James Brown- like performance. Some of his footwork and yelps, but the lyrics he wrote, his singing style, the way he emoted, his stage performances and set up, that was the genius of Michael Jackson. His whole career wasn't "I got the feeling"
@InsightWisdom well lets see you said that Michael is imitating james brown; but brown cant be imitated? funny James Brown had recpect for Michael and Michael said over and over that he loved james brown. They are muisc today and forever dont make it a debate.
@MIZZ2BAD Michael was better than James Brown way better, Michael was mastering stuff James was doing 20 years apart or so, look at how much grace Michael began to have especially in his teen years. Check out the tapdancing vids of a young Michael Jackson, Brown doesn't move that good.
i love and respect them both just as THEY LOVED AND RESPECTED EACH OTHER .... it's music and dance the only things you can understand no matter where you're from why must there be a debate over who was better if it doesn't matter?
Absolutely gobsmacked!! Wow!!! I am finding it hard compose myself after watchjng this! This is the first time that I have seen this rare footage in it's full length, thankyou soo much for posting this. Michael Jackson, I love you!!!
smh im watchin dis video nd im lookin at lil mike nd im wonderin did he ever dream that he will be a crotch grabin moonwalkin toe standin hee heein belt buckel nd jerry curl wearin KING of music. he is incredible! simply amaizing R.I.H
Thank you to whoever recorded this video&showed it to us!
Michael is so wonderful!He was born a dancing machine ;)
What I love most about him is, that he somehow was able to keep his same sweet,humble personality til the end of his life...no matter what happened to him, good or bad, he never changed!I've never seen him jaded,cynic or arrogant.It's amazing&so rare.
This is the first time I've seen this entire footage...thank you! And did I see him doing "The Four Corners"? Hahaha! Anyway, what an amazing performance....can't say it enough...thank you Michael, Marlon, Tito, Jackie, Jermaine and Randy for the wonderful memories of my childhood. Someone on here said they stole her heart 20 years ago and still haven't given it back to her - I agree! Love you all forever!
He was the King then! He had so much soul. R.I.P to the Greatest Of All Time!! By the way, check my page and look at the MJ videos of mine. If you have any request messge me. Please sub and add as friend.
@C0verley With you Cov - once in a lifetime somebody is born a superstar with an awesome natural talent . And then - someone is born with such a huge talent that a match will never be seen again. Michael was 9 years of age here - ....................he was that person.
O.o I have seen this a thousand times and every single time I watch it I am BLOWN AWAY! 10 years old!!...What else could Michael have been other than the Greatest Entertainer EVER! This is AMAZING!! I sat looking at the screen like this O.o the whole time! I love You Michael!
ABSOULTLEY SPEECHLESS. WOW and that is saying alot for me cuz I always have something to say lol Love this LOVE IT THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR SHARING. *SMOOCHES*
@tbrew222 thats such bull. his voice is obviously not higher than mj's even when mj is 16. i just dont get why he gets called the king or this kind of footage is great stuff and then justin is doing the same thing but he gets called crap. two different generations i guess
@izzyvulaca Justin Bieber is a shitty artist who uses auto tune and he will be forgotten in 3 years like the Jonas Brothers. No one respects Justin Bieber because his music is terrible he has no soul in his voice at all. He is just a doofus who got famous off of youtube he didn't have to work hard like Michael or his brothers. When Michael was 8 he and his bros won 1st place at the Apollo theater and when he was nine he got signed at Motown after busting his ass working at strip clubs and bars.
@Rockfanforlife1 Which is all good and stuff dont get me wrong that is very hard work but you dont freakin get famous like that these days. You really think that all the greats today performed in strip clubs and bars before getting famous. no man/girl. we're in a new era where technology has helped advance the publicity of people and people can get recognized much easier. you know what i mean?
AND little Michael didn't have the advantage of MTV, BET, or videotape to study the moves of the great ones like JB and Jackie Wilson. How he captured JB so well here at 10 years old just shows the genius that was Michael Jackson!
thank you so much for posting this video. I'm an 80's baby and I grew up on MJ and had so much love and respect for his talent his death still hurts my heart. Although I am not a JB fan and I will not hate on him but it does upset me when people try to compare him to the legend that is MJ. Looking at this video and the raw response MJ had/has on the world no artist can measure that and JB just does not have it. I saw his grammy performance the kid has talent but not the magic that MJ possessed.
I tried watching Justin Bieber's "amateur" videos. I am not a JB fan, but I just wanted to see what the fuss was about. I watched him for maybe less than a minute, and just quit. I won't hate on him, as I'm sure he is talented and popular in his own way. It's just that when you've seen Michael Jackson, you just know that he's the real deal. MJ is the standard, and everybody else just falls short. In the world of pop music, there's Michael Jackson, and then there's everybody else.
@makenart Hey, thanks for replying! :) It's always great finding fellow fans! Some people say JB is the next MJ, but I really don't think so. MJ's appeal is so universal and borderless - I honestly don't think any other artist of today will ever achieve what MJ did in his lifetime. Ive seen people of different ages, race, gender, and status react so strongly to MJ, it's insane! And as far as talent goes? MJ's in a whole different galaxy. He was always light years ahead.
@purplerubbershoes I so agree with u! MJ is in a league of his own! To be honest he set the bar in the music industry as a whole! Really the Jackson family set the standard for today's music industry. From contract negotiations (1991 MJ, & JJ recieved the first 2 biggest contract deals in the music industry), the way videos were made and viewed, fashion, to choreography, and etc! JBieber has'nt done enough, and he has a long way to go to even be mentioned with likes of MJ! There's no comparison!
@1oldschoolfool Actually I believe he was 9 almost 10 (about 2 or 3 weeks BEFORE his 10th b-day) His simply amazing and gifted!!! I MISS HIM SOOO MUCH!!!
This was his audition? Why didn't they just stop him after 30 seconds?? I guess they were too busy picking up their jaws off the floor. It's unbelievable.
This footage where history was made. Little Michael Jackson at the age of 9 performing James Brown's 'I Got The Feelin.' People knew that he was destined to be a superstar. God bless you Michael! You gave not only Black culture, but people all over the world a chance to dream big.
This why he is the greatest entertainer of all time. No matter what anyone says. This speaks for itself...............james brown , jackie wilson, even frankie lymon could not compare. Makes today's music sound ridiculous.

@Rockfanforlife1 Which is all good and stuff dont get me wrong that is very hard work but you dont freakin get famous like that these days. You really think that all the greats today performed in strip clubs and bars before getting famous. no man/girl. we're in a new era where technology has helped advance the publicity of people and people can get recognized much easier. you know what i mean?

AND little Michael didn't have the advantage of MTV, BET, or videotape to study the moves of the great ones like JB and Jackie Wilson. How he captured JB so well here at 10 years old just shows the genius that was Michael Jackson!

thank you so much for posting this video. I'm an 80's baby and I grew up on MJ and had so much love and respect for his talent his death still hurts my heart. Although I am not a JB fan and I will not hate on him but it does upset me when people try to compare him to the legend that is MJ. Looking at this video and the raw response MJ had/has on the world no artist can measure that and JB just does not have it. I saw his grammy performance the kid has talent but not the magic that MJ possessed.

I tried watching Justin Bieber's "amateur" videos. I am not a JB fan, but I just wanted to see what the fuss was about. I watched him for maybe less than a minute, and just quit. I won't hate on him, as I'm sure he is talented and popular in his own way. It's just that when you've seen Michael Jackson, you just know that he's the real deal. MJ is the standard, and everybody else just falls short. In the world of pop music, there's Michael Jackson, and then there's everybody else.

@makenart Hey, thanks for replying! :) It's always great finding fellow fans! Some people say JB is the next MJ, but I really don't think so. MJ's appeal is so universal and borderless - I honestly don't think any other artist of today will ever achieve what MJ did in his lifetime. Ive seen people of different ages, race, gender, and status react so strongly to MJ, it's insane! And as far as talent goes? MJ's in a whole different galaxy. He was always light years ahead.
purplerubbershoes 10 months ago
@purplerubbershoes I so agree with u! MJ is in a league of his own! To be honest he set the bar in the music industry as a whole! Really the Jackson family set the standard for today's music industry. From contract negotiations (1991 MJ, & JJ recieved the first 2 biggest contract deals in the music industry), the way videos were made and viewed, fashion, to choreography, and etc! JBieber has'nt done enough, and he has a long way to go to even be mentioned with likes of MJ! There's no comparison!

This footage where history was made. Little Michael Jackson at the age of 9 performing James Brown's 'I Got The Feelin.' People knew that he was destined to be a superstar. God bless you Michael! You gave not only Black culture, but people all over the world a chance to dream big.
