It wasn't done the way Michael wanted it so he decided not to be in it. As for Jermaine, who knows. But I still think the 1:27 wax dummy MJ was a great idea. You could hardly tell that it's not really him. In this case, MJ is "kind of" in the video although not physically.
Jermaine has a nice voice but GOSH, I feel that Michael ABSOLUTELY SETS THE TONE to this song! His voice is so seductive, so sexy and very pleasing <3
1:52 to 2:20 is what makes women react so wildly to a man which so much sex appeal as Michael had. Bless YOU, baby!
Seriously though ... it is a neat video for its time ... I didn't know it was 1984 when this video came out ... probably one of the first music videos with computer graphics in it of that quality.
You sound like Simon on "American Idol". Just because I didn't like the song doesn't mean that I am pathetic. Have fun getting tortured by this song then...lol
Both Michael and Jermaine did not participate in the video, but, the recording of this song from the "Victory" album back in '84 - rip, Michael - I will never forget you........
haha i thought marlon was michael for a second there.(: he is dressed like him with the glasses and the jacket, i love marlon though, he is so much like mike.
this was 1984 when he got burned check out girl i want your body by the jacksons he wasnt in that one either so either he didnt wanna be or he realy couldnt i could be wrong but thats my theory
to. reesesncreme - both Michael and Jermaine werent in it. Michael wasnt in it due to other obligations, so im guessing tours, and Jermaine refused to be in it
I loved this video wow its been awhile. I had forgot all about this song!! I always wondered why he wasn't any of the 2 vids they released what he was 2 high profile 2 be in the group's vid!! btw Their clothes were crazy 2.
This is one of my favorites from The Jacksons...it's a cheesy ass video nowadays, but back then it was the bomb! Video production techniques of today would put this video on top of the world.
This song is very very cool...i love alll songs from jackson 5 and Michael Jackson...i love you Michael....Im very sad..cuz....you know...i miss you so much....i will never forget you!NEVER!
Even though this song is still bomb. i hate that mike wasnt in the video. its still good and the graphics and stuff were still cool. cant complain too much. its stil good.
Michael did not want to do the album or the tour, Thriller was out and big , his mom begged him to do it for his brothers, If you remember jermaine had an album out also which was a decent hit, and he wanted to promote his album but he did the tour for a year then did his tour which hurt his sales.
That's because people forget that Michael Jackson was not a magical innocent angel like they all want him to be. He didn't even want to help his own family. He's just as selfish as all the other celebrities out there. Just because he made awesome music and was an awesome performer doesn't make the man an angel. People get too caught up in AWE.
hootyhaha ~ Michael didn't want to do the Victory Tour but he did it....for his family! He paid all the bills for his parents home in Encino for many years and helped his family much more than you could ever know. He was definitely not selfish. He gave millions to charities also. RIP MJ.
I never understood this vidoe or song for that matter (still don't)! But it was the Jacksons! Hated that Mike wasn't in the vid or Jermaine but especially everybody wanted to see Mike! This used to scare me to death! Lol!
I think the other Jacksons (Jackie, Marlon, Tito, etc) are BADASS in this video!! They DID indeed have talent!! theyre awesome in this "torture" video... kickass
?? Ok so what are you trying to say? Yes this Album came out after Thriller , I was saying the only reason the Victory Album was made so the other brothers could get rich too.
I remember when this came out I was 18 and was in a store on Melrose, and this lady thought I was Randy Jackson, and she wouldn't believe that I wasn't, and had everyone who worked there thinking that I was Randy Jackson. It was funny. I grew up with the Jackson's music and MJ death is a great lost, not just to his family but to the world of music.
Both Michael and Jermaine bugged out on this video because of "other commitments" Where you see 5 of them, Jermaine and Michael are wax dummies. Marlon Randy, and Tito supposedly made rude jokes about the absent pair. Can't say I blame them...
This Video was Bananas even without Mike. Mike Had an Built in excuse though. He was busy Selling is greatest album to date. Still having the Voice on wax is a blessing. R.I.P.
did anyone notice that the skeletons were doing the moonwalk at the end of the video ? wow wonder if michael thought about this and figured out how to make it work miss you michael rip
J'aime trop cette chanson, et je n'arrête pas de pleurer, je suis trop émue pour Michael, c'est PAS POSSIBLE !! il pouvait encore nous donner beaucoup, j'en suis sûre.
Un grand merci à toi Michael pour ton immense talent et ta générosité.
if mike was really there he would of KILLED IT...like he would be soooo the bomb in that vid...dang too bad they used a wax form of him..they all was hot in that vid
DID YOU KNOW............that Michael Jackson was unavailable for the filming of the music video for The Jacksons' song, "Torture", so a wax dummy was used in his place for the video?
Reminds me of the scene in 24 season 7 with bickerings of Jack and Toni in FBI room with regards to their pasts. Very true of governments with Toni's comments to Jack and vice versa.==tbc==....
randy was so sexy back in the day i can tell... but this video is funny cuz its so 80's and yes its true michael and jermaine did not appear in this video becuase this was post-thriller so you kno michael wasnt gonna be in it.. and jermaine was doing his solo thing so they used i think it was plastic body double dummy's for michael and jermaine
he isnt actually in the video, i dont remember specifics but I can remember he wasnt able to commit time for it. he was in the middle of his biggest album promotion of all time. Even the figure at the end of the video (the one with the glove) is only a look-alike.
Neither Michael nor Jermaine are in the video. They used body doubles, mannequins, and cardboard cut-outs (it was the 80s) in their places. Now, they would just use CGIs.
