[ladytec40]

it so funny see em dance like that with the bboy styling and breakin in it, when it did not exist yet back in the mid 70's

[ladytec40]

ok now who is the extra 2 guys are? usually there be 7 of em'

[millienl]

@ladytec40 this was when there was 10 in the crew now it's officially 7.

[ladytec40]

@millienl ...ok

[MrUKFORLIFE]

@Zeroniboi Let me guess, the first time you saw it was when Kevin destroyed Supreme Soul/Soul Sector. If so, me too...haha.

[moveyourleg]

arent there 7 members origanlly?

[millienl]

@moveyourleg 11 members originally, now it's officially 7. 1 died, the other 3 are not with the crew anymore.

[Morilin]

eleven people don't appreciate the good shit in life, really!

[MJkingish]

[minhchaunguyenvn]

I love both

MJ and Jabba :xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

MJ and Gee are smiling in heaven because this perfomance

[tech4156]

at 1st crowd was like "who da fuck these racist fools dressed up like this" then they started dancin and it was off da hook

[digable04]

@tech4156 lol.... your comment is old but hilarious... I thought the same thing... the crowd was probably like "damn, blackface right in front of the Jacksons" ... until they danced their jabbawockeen arzes off.

[wolfe187]

There was 11 Members i think at that time :) R.I.P Gee 1

[shawiechan]

[airamanddex]

[piprock10]

[AlovesMJ]

somehow this amazing performance makes me even happier than more recent tributes cuz this before June 2009... These guys were showing Michael love and respect all the way just the way it's suppose to be! I miss my king so much...

[buk180]

sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[eugenieareve]

AWESOME!

I imagine Michael watching this amazing performance. He would LOVE it so much!

Thanks for sharing sweet and dear sister K!

LOVE

[humorthisgirl]

I'm gonna be honest and say I thought the whole thing looked messy. I don't know if its the new additions to the jabbawockeez but its taken that something you all had that made you rise to the top away.... just not the same...

[aplayaz2000]

@humorthisgirl there were never "new additions"

[ninjaboyjeff]

@humorthisgirl Yeah, I think they just wanted to be more entertaining than super technical, like on ABDC.

[speedball2point0]

10 people had a seizure and hit the dislike button... tsk tsk..

[RoseGirl1192]

I wish that Michael Jackson and them could have danced together. That would have been the greatest thing!

[7fire7ice7]

The did a great job!

[92albanian]

who is the artist of this song plzzz??

[Gundamninja7]

@92albanian it's the Jackson 5.

[92albanian]

who sing this song???

[speedball2point0]

@92albanian Michael Jackson's the lead singer of this song man.. gosh...

[chazytone]

Sick solo

[kamotesirambo]

ohhh so amazing hahaha!

[xC0VeNaNTx]

"do bop do do bop"

[jhet248]

where can i get the music the exact music pls....

[jhet248]

where can i get the music i really like it... pls

[littleboynamedlolo]

@jhet248 hey the music is called dancing machine! well thats all i know sry :D

[songbird143]

@Saberwolf50 Are you talkin about when they are gliding?

[songbird143]

1:38-1:42 Ridiculous attention to the music and moves....just keep on watchin cuz i wasnt expecting it

[bribrialltheway98]

the jabbawockeez grew over the years

[Tardersauc3]

As soon as it was solo time, everyone knew which one was KB

[disgrl4]

@Saberwolf50 I'd have to look it up...I know it has a name.

[JuicyChina]

I LOVED IT

[WOLF3000100]

Hey people it `s cool when you SUBSCRIBED. Check it on our channel as you see every Monday and Friday a new video where my friend dance moves of Michael Jackson. With ever changing scenery.

[colourfulartist]

they had to have been nervous performing in front of them but they were GREAT..as usual..i can't get into ABDC ever since the jabbawockeez.. they are the best!

[flamebattousai]

i love this!!!! i love jabbawockeez and michael!

[manxind]

omg all the family on the front row ! :P

[lstruggy]

so sick!

entertaining as hell!!

[MrPen7]

It should have some moon walk in this performance

[disgrl4]

@MrPen7 No, because Michael Jackson never moonwalked when he performed with the Jackson 5. That move developed when he split from them to go solo.

[mikkan05]

i love this...

[chumbucket206]

these are not the original jabbawockeez theirs 5 of them ppl

[KaraCD]

@chumbucket206 Right now there are actually 7, and there are a lot of people who came in and out of the jabbawockeez.

[LILDRUMMERPJ]

@KaraCD no there are more than seven i should kno i know them but the only info ull get about me is on twitter or myspace,

kevin,joe,chris,ben,phil,raine­n,saso,eddie,phi,and occasionally me or tony tran from kaba modern....we will be in vegas this summer so all u jabbawockeez fans get ur tiks

[KaraCD]

@LILDRUMMERPJ it kind of bothers me when people use youtube to advertise.

[LILDRUMMERPJ]

@KaraCD my bad.....lol....jus keepin our hype

[sheadex]

@chumbucket206 man come on everyone knows there was 6 on abdc ..not 5...would have been 7 but G1 died before the show...in all there was 11 Jabbawockeez ..try to know what your talking about befor you type dumb s***

[J3susJ4y]

jabbawockeez are truly awesome they did everything in this routine poppin', lockin' and bboy'ing. thats an all around crew right there. and for the filipinos out there stop trollin' geez you're making it seems like the jabbawockeez are all filipinos, only 5 out of 10 (used to be 11) are pinoys so stop.

[tomboygirl3444]

The best group other than j5!!

[DAKIOWABOI]

THIS VIDOE IS KOO AS HELL

[DRAGUMBUL]

they really are good with jackson dancing huh?...this is one of their best dance together with the PYT ^^

[junphi]

haha...they wore those clothes....they're really paying a tribute to the jackson 5... love jabbawockeez soo much!!! they're nice guys. one member is missing.glad that they're almost complete!

[WaRDoG8o8]

wow thier so together so perfect... im loving it

[sandhaeliya]

amazing!!! they deserve an award. i bet mj would have loved to see it. i'm at a loss for words thanks!

[EaglemanX3Gorilla]

@sandhaeliya

I think Micheal Jackson did watch it, this was posted a year before he died.

[aplayaz2000]

@EaglemanX3Gorilla ye.. even if he was alive... its unlikely hes an avid jabbawockeez fans

[TheKyg13]

@agmileyfan222 Dancing Machine by The Jackson 5 :)

[rmbb10]

Nice.

[bmanone1]

theres no doubt about it that is he wasnt doing this is it that the jabbawockeez would have been MJ backup dancers

[jasontheallmighty]

Tell me please what the song in the begining of the performance ??? (bout dancing dancing dancing... )

[lovece7]

It's called "Dancing Machine"

[kimjamesa]

hey punchosanto they are not MJ so don't wonder why MJ is better than them

[punchosanto]

good tribute but damn MJ still was better at performing this dance

[luckiezz802]

jabbaz came to hawaii haha they were awsum! there so good. haha

[TheJeffreycordz]

KB is very good but i like the style of Jeff Phi Nguyen...^^ also their former member Gary K.

[DXepHyR]

chris brown's got nothing on KB. beat kune do pwns all.

[jazminjones90]

who's KB

[omaracc44]

i guess Kevin Brewer

[aregon34]

the one that always does the head spin is Kid Rainen.. but KB is the one who does MJ the best and is in my opinion the best dancer in the world.... I would love to see him murder Chris Brown

[menelek1]

M.J is smiling in Heaven!

[2151013]

@menelek1 hahahah burning in hell that is :)

[11ronax11]

@menelek1 HEAVEN ??

I don't think so.

[tashussin]

WOOOH! epic... That's all i got!

[eastlondonboy123]

shit on Diversity.....erhhhhhhh

[ana04041990]

I love "Dancing machine", it`s a great song! Nice tribute!

[KidRandom95]

LOVE THEM!!! go asians!! lol but i think the one that did the head spin in the middle is Kid Rainen! he was the one who did that long one on ABDC!!! LOVE THEM!!!!

[Drekid20]

i love dis performance!! a tribute 2 J5 i wish i couldve joined them!!

[fni2007]

i would pay money to see them...they are the best i've seen ever

[MrJabbafan23]

[p0k3r143]

[BvA181]

[justmsbella]

[MADDIEB2008]

Love this song and they are excellent performers!

[bushen83]

Does anybody know who did the remix for this??

[jugo7]

awesome :D

(L) the jabba's

[djthato]

dance and culture,very nice!!

[dearestkela]

That was the best tribute EVER. Holy SHIT did that ever capture the true funk of the Jackson 5! I mean, forward to 1:56 to 2:17--those were my most favourite moves when the Jacksons danced to "Dancing Machine."

[cushmeer]

Holy SHIT is right. Best tribute EVER!!! They captured the essence of MJ's magic for sure.

[itzurboithanh]

haha head spin wit an afroo !

[cushmeer]

That's how you pay tribute to MJ. The awards shows really missed the boat with their tributes. They really captured the energy of MJ. It was a Jackson tribute I know, but no we all that a tribute to the Jacksons is really a tribute to MJ anyway.

[candaceparkersbigfan]

wow that was amazing i love the jackson 5 and i love dancing machine the (dont know how 2 spell this) jabbawockees really broke that dance down i mean dude did the robot better than Michael Na u know im jus kiddin nobody can beat the king REST IN PEACE MICHAEL JACKSON GOD BLESS MARLON, JERMAINE, JACKIE, TITO, RANDY, AND THE ENTIRE JACKSON FAMILY

[cha3064]

That's not true either. ABDC allows up to 7members. Gee was suppose to be the

7th member but as we all know he passed away a couple months b4 the auditions. The rest of the crew wasn't able to do it due to jobs & so forth. Gee is the 1 who told the guys about ABDC & they didn't want to but decided to do it in remembrance of Gee. Thnx to Gee the Jabbawockeez r known worldwide & they r the baddest/dopest crew of all time! Plz belive it!!

[JabbaMooney]

@cha3064

yup thats the truth :) this performance was off the charts, jabba's are un-touchable in all aspects of their style of dance KB is divinly gifted and has to be one of the greatest of all time :O XD

[paul9663]

too sick

[johnlouie21]

wow!really cool,awesome routine,original jabbawockeez is 9,but in america best dance crew is maximum of 6 members

[liliblue]

actually it's 10 members phil, ben, chris, keibee, rainen, phi, wish one, punkee, saso and eddie. 11 if you included geeone.

[83r1y]

they didnt expanded their crew, there always have been more than 6 of them, but at the ABDC, only 6 could do it, the others were busy working n shit

[DXepHyR]

that's not actually true. it's just abdc only allows a maximum of 6 in a crew. so members like joe weren't able to take part.

[kingtut314]

fuck that was good.MrOatmeal you don't know what you're talking about. That was HOT.......

[Mr0atmeal]

thats not the jabbawokeez

they dont dance terribluy like that

[RCxBDG]

@Mr0atmeal LMFAO!!! u HELLA funny!!!! u dont know WTH ur talkn bout!!!!

[chrono823]

I think this is their best performance, love it!

[TheXnotnormalX]

-0-

love u jabbawookeez

[darkplayerltd]

they the i in s**t, man that was cool

[Nonchalant82]

didn't know the jabbawockeez had expanded they crew....hmm

btw, that routine was hot!

[CrazedMonkey96]

Actually, they've always had that number of people. Not all of them were in ABDC because the limit for the number of people in a crew was 7.

[chrono823]

I think this is the full crew, normally its just 4 or 5 of them.

[ErynneIsAwesome]

that was hella tight...

[totodoom]

KB's solo. WOW!!!!!!

[soulpush]

Does anybody know where to download this version of Dancing Machine?

[BigDeezy5605]

Is Joe Larot the first solo?, orange pants, (not the dark orange, that's KB) and the flower look-a-like shirt?

[normanem206]

or maybe it's Phil?

[DoLLiiE760]

the whole dance was dope

of course

but my fave part was 4rm 1:56 til the end

fer sure =.D

[theboondocks01]

This was hott but Michael's dance solo robot part is better.

[dalcowb]

LOL u a trip, but that performance was tight for real.

[Luv4ChristianBeadles]

then why did you search the video, "potapenko06"

[MsChicaLoca]

THAT WUZ BRILLIANT

[shibamatachick]

[JeRawockee]

kevin everytime. amazing

[Amplified72]

If anyone could or should do a tribute dance it would be them....dopeness

[TovarErick]

that shit was fye!!!!

i rated 5 stars and added it 2 favorites =D

[kita05us]

the was a great tribute to the jackson

[MuziacRep]

All I have to say is that was the bomb! But all that spinning on his head, now you know a brotha ain't trying to put his FRO thru that kind of Drama! lol

[chrisoutten]

lol

[sidcullen951]

that was dope!

[Kwamedogg50]

dat was pimp all i can say

[RiotsDestiny]

Everytime I see these guys dance I smile, they are amazing.

This was a very nice tribute.

Jabbawockeez ftw <3

[Cruz08erZ]

fuckin ass. JabbaWockeeZ STILL my inspiration to dance, no matter WHAT!!!!!! on AND off ABDC!!

[40somethingyo]

VERY NICE. MIKE WOULD BE PROUD

[92lisamike]

You guys Rocked:) Loved it:)

[MsDed345]

the best tribute to jackson 5

[MONEYFER]

I dont mean to be rude but, this isnt as good as the jacksons. But it good enough for the jabba wockeez.

[kobedoe]

Don't get confused between a "tribute" and a "impersonation". Tribute means they are paying respect by incorporating style, moves, and flare from the originator. Impersonating means you are imitating the originator. Jabba is not impersonating, they are doing a tribute. They are not trying to be as good, they are simply paying respect to the Jackson 5. This is an amazing performance and one of the best tributes to the Jackson 5 anyone has ever seen.

[MONEYFER]

Well like I said its not as good as the jacksons of course thier trying to do it like them. and I can say what I feel like everyone else can, dont respond to me.

[kobedoe]

I can respond to you because I can say what I feel like. Everyone else can. Only difference is that I use correct grammar when I type.

[MONEYFER]

I see how people on youtube like drama because they dont have anything better to do with there time.Good bye

[sevenkuka]

Exactly.

[manuelinho161292]

how do u know who's who if they have their masks? =o

loved 1:20 fkng awesome! =D

[shanel3]

Newly converted Jabbawockee!!! They are freaking amazing no doubt!!!!

[clippix]

the locking is tight

[ArabianAlien]

How have i not seen this earlier?? Jabba kills it again!!!

[cyberWarriorZ]

Wow it kinda looks like The Jacksons break-dancing lawl...I mean like imagine that!

[MiSsJdAtSeXcBiTcH]

they are mad talented, they murdered this

[whyspread]

I think people overlook 0:59.

They're moving to the lyrics. The lyrics go "'til the music stops," and they just stop/freeze.

It's little moments like that that make Jabba great.
