[josemar791]

ja mais serás esquecido MICHAEL

already more be forgotten MICHAEL

JA但必esquecido何敏嘉

O cantor angolano Kudurista Dom Mauro se inspira em ti

[jrmetmoi]

It's too bad that people are too good, or too 'real', too 'natural', or too big, bad, tough, street for costumes and costume changes nowadays. That's why they make a huge deal of Gaga.

[Jocelynharris12]

I love when they do that pointing thing. so badass!

[townbizz1000]

dam did you mike spen

[preciousbash]

THIS WILL ALWAYS BE MY JAM!!

[misumike25]

Back in my hey days, this was my diet song not realizing that I would lose 5 pds every time on the dance floor shaking my body down 2 the ground. The Jackson's help kept me fit. It was our anthem song, such fond & fun memories, still miss u so much MIKE. LUVUMORE & MORE...

[PeaceILoveIAndIMusic]

you cant even see the red bar for dislikes ! lol

[joruva]

only one can´t shake his body down to the ground...

[dlsb13]

Let's dance let's shout.....love this song so much. Oh why Michael, why did you leave us. My heart aches so bad.....still hurts.....miss u baby.

[TheNandialla]

demais

[tannisheather]

Thats the old way I love and miss..picking randoms from the crowd and dancing with the people.

[nocutesayn]

Their best album cover when I was a kid. I used to stare at it for hours.

[bashbro1able]

Honestly, Michael is the only one who excites me. The rest of them are kind of corny...

[breskvar]

@bashbro1able The rest of them were in support. Of course they don't excite you.

[swimsis]

that audience is jammin

[kuromomutaro]

The one who dislike has no BODY to SHAKE..

[dlocke49]

The MASTER!



[NadiaFontenele]

Legal, sou fã desse gingado!!

[rwp5858]

This Is Where The Evolution Of Michael Begins. This Track Is Normally In A Radio Edit Form On Any Greatest Hits Lps. I Do Own The 77 Demo On Mj's Boxed Set. The Ultimate Collection (04)

[msforbiddenflavor]

this was the song i fell in love with MJ on i was a 11 year old girl in 1978 living in Gary IN . with my mother and she told me to go the bed .......at that time i wasn't sleepy so i went to my room and turn the TV.....and saw Wolf Man Jack hosting the Mid night Special and there guest were THE JACKSONS .......and i have been a CRAZY FAN from then on ......rip to the KING OF POP .....I LOVE YOU MJ 4ever.......

[FillionDollarSmile]

Michael Looks the tallest out of all his brothers... Sexxxxaaaayyyyy !!!!!!!

[Ladymodel]

A handsome young man...definitely was right about that!

[PASTORKable]

[michaelfan90]

[mjscarousal]

[kmilacbitar]

\0/ lindo!!!! 

[kmilacbitar]

boa musica...Mike i love u! *-*

[princeofgary]

When you watch the song and dance legends like Gene Kelley and Fred Astaire, they were technically brilliant and athletic, but Michael had that inner groove, fluid rhythm and natural muscial ability that is unmatched.

[Sancharitsme]

@princeofgary Yeah.....u r right; but MJ was no less perfect in technique......he was THE PERFECT DANCER

[princeofgary]

@Sancharitsme Agreed. I was watching more videos of him the other night and his precision was unparalled. Simply amazing. I would've liked to see what he would have done with tap shoes, would have been out of control.

[breskvar]

@princeofgary There are videos of MJ doing tap dancing in the early days of his career. And yes, you are right, he rocks.

[Nina513]

I really miss Michael...

DAMN!

[HEARNLADY]

Awwwwww.....what memories!!

[MrsMariJackson900]

[nunnuroy1]

[futuristfood]

michael is alien beautiful here.. like planetary funk. he is a vision,. whatever he was into was way beyond what anyone except he could know,. he was almost stage 1 or 2

[knowstalgic]

[dovespin1]

[kmilacbitar]

[TBizzleMan]

this is my favorite live version of this song.

[matt2fresh84]

the jacksons had the white ppl go stupid lol.......

[Michelle01255]

@matt2fresh84 LOL

[crocotone]

@matt2fresh84 If i had been ready for this music at that time, i also would have gone crazy. I started dancing with MJ around 1978 in Europe with "Dont stop till you get enough"

[PeaceILoveIAndIMusic]

@matt2fresh84 LOL !

[Yasmine219]

Michael in this uniform look really tall. still cute !

[geiuy]

@Yasmine219 true,the way he dressed and the afro he had in these years made him 6'4 lol

[zcarenow]

his dancing was different in the 70s than the 80s...

[MrCualpha06]

Can anyone explain to me how MJ can spin like that and not trip over the mic chord?...lol...i guess it's that he is Michael Jackson and no further explanation is needed...lol

[matt2fresh84]

@MrCualpha06 im wonderin the same thing! cuz it was me i wouldve tripped n fell and show is over -_- lol

[MrCualpha06]

@matt2fresh84 Yep me too....lol...i guess stage presence like that is hard to obtain

[ronscott7]

Nobody today can hold a candle to these guys!!!!

[tryby12]

i liked it better when michael was with his brothers

[jd7779311]

@tryby12 DAMN!! ME TOO!! I THOUGHT MAYBE I WAS THE ONLY ONE!!!! Wished they could've went on a tour to honor Michael and had Janet in HIS place to share lead with Jermaine! Now THAT would've been a concert for the AGES!!!!!!!!

[1truthfulman]

It always amazes me how Michael always manages to get in the middle of his two brothers - just at the right time, not too much to the left or right but bang in the middle, to do the dance routine...REAL PROFESSIONAL. Never missed a beat, that man! We were blessed to have him and he was a pleasure to listen to and watch!! Still is!!!

[TheEXpothead]

michael jackson is the best artist ever got the chance to see him preform 1997 gotherburg sweden when I wuz 12 years old and it's the best experiances of my life, better than the first time I had sex which wuz when I wuz 14 so :D mj u own. god bless u.

[DestinySYB]

MJ's dancing in this song is amazing. This song, along with Push Me Away and Things I Do For You are the best songs on Destiny.

[MsMoonlight2]

MJ is so great, He even had the policeman dance this song.....lol that great to watch.

I love the The Jacksons. Especially MJ. RIP....

He so cute and so is Marlon and Jackie. I like thier cut lil sexy dance here.

[jd7779311]

As much as I loved Michael, I loved him even more when he performing with his brothers. As a unit, they couldnt be touched!! They would just blow everyone out!!!

[MrJeffreydunson]

This song went to #1 in the UK, as well.

[DerivedEnergy]

@MrJeffreydunson ''This song went to #1 in the UK as well.''

No, It didn't. It was a top ten hit in the UK though. It should have done gone to #1 however. I'll give you that much. Awesome track.

[enjoythevision]

[butterkup17]

[theuniqueoneable]

[MsCargento]

[cmh522]

This song still sounds great after all of these years. I remember when I would used to go to the club, and they would put this jam on, the dance floor would be packed. THE ROOF, THE ROOF, THE ROOF IS IS ON FIRE!!!

[mfuji02]

[MsCargento]

[shagdad76]

[rf80]

I remember this episode Jan '79 I was 6yo RIP MJ.

[strawhats100]

Michael was the most badass guy in the world...now he's dancing like no one's business in heaven.

[dresser1474]

Did you guys see Michael kick his leg up as quick as grease lightning at 3:33? Dang!!!!!!!!!!

[vintagesoul73911]

@dresser1474 hell yea. Mike should have gotten into martial arts.

[arventino]

Yeah, let's see Elvis do that???!!!.....lol

[danserchique]

isn't it incredible how he is so effortlessly outstanding and fantastic and inconquerable? he does it with such an ease it's like he's just breathing air, but to me i'm sitting here with my jaw on the ground wondering how the hell he is moving that way???!!!!!

[vegitausa]

This song will still sound just as good in another 100 years.

[69shortshit]

R.I.P. MIKE..I'M STILL GRIEVING

[mjjunkie1974]

the crowd was going crazy but michael was so cool. that's sick!

[kmanungo]

king of spin

[CactusG26]

i cannot imagine just how much Randy must have been wanting to get rid off that fucking keyboard on his neck... another one of Joseph Jackson`s "brilliant" ideas for sure....

[AJm53206]

In This Performance I Thought It Was Going To Be

A Riot With The Cop Part Was Cool.

[just1913]

omg... didMJmush that chic? lol at 4:02

[juva0525]

Michael was such a graceful dancer, gotta love those double, triple, and quadruple spins!

[KeVinOuMJJFanTribute]
