[storkonhudson]

I'll take prince any day over this crap

[nmglass80]

One of my earliest memories is the Motown 25th. i just remember my family being excited to watch it.

[gteam123]

micahel was the jackson 5 with out him there nothing

[Terri86]

I jus gotta keep watching this over and over, it's so awesome!!!! And that bass line is and always will be SICK AS HELL!!!!

[yourengland]

12 seconds into the video, the audience realizes that michael is not leaving the stage... they know what's coming...

[cupkake134]

is he lip singin anywas i love mj

[fishNguitars]

is Michael lip syncing? It sounds too perfect here if you compare it to the studio version.

[TheBold707]

Lol i just realized he only moonwalked like 5 feet.. it seemed like 20 the first time i saw this

[01tnql]

may 16 1983.  i remember this like it was yesterday. when he said "especially i like the new songs" i knew he was about to slay em with "billie jean" '83 was the year of micheal jackson

[vanjane]

I know it's hard to take your eyes off Michael, but if you do, check out the guys in the band. They are spell bound.

[Julie101670]

I am so happy that I actually watched this as it happened. Michael Jackson is the King of Pop! No one will ever touch him. When he died a part of my childhood died. We Love You Michael! You will live forever in our hearts! 

[CaydenDaDon]

At 2:52 Michael invents "The Stanky Leg"

[NightJay24]

I tell you I was born in the wrong generation. It's called the music AUTOTUNE generation. Seriously! I <3 <3 <3 a.k.a. LOVE oldies!!! The 80's had IT and MJ was and is the KING!!! He's magical!

[lettus3]

i hate all the programs like: move like MJ, and that kinda stuff... why does nobody realise that you never can be like him, he is that special someone, and we will never get anyone so talented like him... we gonna find the one who killed him, he wil go to hell. mj we miss u!

[LuVsUJOE93]

michael is not a human, he is an angel...his message was all for love, and i think thats wat we r all forgetting..

[Lyndybelle]

who's profiting? read the credits in This Is It.

[mrsklmiller]

Mike had the perfect on that night...It complimented all his dance routines...I think that shirt was one of his favorites because he also wore it a couple years back on a tv special with Diana Ross performing "Ease on Down the Road"...Diana has the same shirt also...lol

[MegaSnoopy10]

[nniinniizzeenn]

this´is 1983 so Michael is 25 here

Legend.Hero.And a wondeful human being<3

[Agent9Zero]

the brothers are capitalizing on his death big time.

[jamash1914]

@Agebt9Zero - if anybody needs to capitalize of his death is his family. I mean hell, it is his family. You else do you want to capitalize of this death? a bunch of executives, no his family deserves to make money of Michael's death, if you had a famous person die in your family, you want the money to stay in house

[LadyD6993]

I thought they where too but then I thought about it I think they're using this as a grief healer it's like they're letting micheals fans grieve with them knowing that they're hurting waaaay more than we are. Plus the contract was already signed b4 his death for the concert.

[katrina72]

I agree somewhat......

[mapelleaff]

i love the people in the background like dancing a little and watching him... haha no one could resist

[sheba372007]

How old was M J here..and in the movie made when it came to this part in the movie it showed 6 brothers i thought it was just 5 i grew up to mj i was like 7 when billie jean came out

[MsTangerine282]

@sheba372007 just 24, since 14 in the record industry. and j5 were 5, but then Jermaine left and the jacksons were still 5 with Randy. now for the reunion and the victory tour both Jermaine and Randy were there. so 6.

do you really mind one jackson more? I dont.

[shockmartin1]

I wonder... Was this live singing or a playback? Can't really tell... Anyone?

[rf80]

@shockmartin1 lip-sync

[AdamBlood12]

@rf80 Nah u retard not lypsync all word mj rocks he wouldent lypsync 

[MrRyry97]

@AdamBlood12 This is lipsynced. There mere many times in his career that he lipsynced like in the History tour when he had throat problems. He made up for it with his dances

[whywhylovemikehe]

I LOVE YOU MJ,I MISS YOU SO MUCH

[musiqsoulx3]

BEST PERSON EVER. HANDS DOWN. lol.

[Drewski1316]

80s look so much cooler than now... too bad I was a baby when this happened.

[Sitopia]

I was about 7. I missed this but remember when Thriller was first premiered around the world. It was a massive event. The 80's was legendary and MJ ruled it without question.

[Aches86]

He still rules and will rule many years after his death.. no one can touch MJ and it must be very lonely at the top

[janetluvjackson]

@Drewski1316 u sure are right the look back then, is way better than the look now

[1simaddict1]
