[2conscious]

Why are people soooo LATE and DON'T RESEARCH!!? HEY---those of you who don't do research, this is from the same video when MJ was with Latoya at their home in Encino in 1984. I saw this ENTIRE VIDEO IN 1994 on VHS tape. You guys are SOOOOOO L  A T E.

[AndrEHSM428]

Nice video but, his legs look extremely thin...

[asnlmike4ever]

It's Michael.

This clip is from his interview in 1984.

( He was waring red coat ).

[GUELCIN1994]

well well well...i am not sure..he dances a bit too fast..but its pretty good! Love his dancemoves

[TheBold707]

this footage is as rare as a pimple on a 14 year old

[caramello1989]

@JehovahMyShepherd your retarded.

[SallovesMJ]

Ahhh..... ~faints~

[angelhushchiiq]

Y'all criticizin' cause y'all dont think it's michael. But what if it is how would u feel after criticizin' him. (I'm not saying it is cause i dont really kno if it is or not)

[RRRRRRodriguez123]

actually it its michael..in the thriller era..it was part of an unauthrorized interview dated 1984 i think? lol

[acedenach]

which way is he facing?

[swaggoutkid]

this is fake as a long time Micheal Jackson fan i can tell him dancing compared to somebody else and on top of that i have been studying his dance moves for quite some time. know the guy in this video is not smooth enough to be mike and if you think its him then your a fool plus mike is not the skinny

[tumichael2021]

@swaggoutkid no,i can assure u it's MICHAEL :) i saw it in a documentary aabt MJ b4.anyway, i m Tu Michael, a Moondancer so i m sure

[NCALI408]

FAKE



[tumichael2021]

@NCALI408 no,i can assure u it's MICHAEL :) i saw it in a documentary aabt MJ b4.anyway, i m Tu Michael, a Moondancer so i m sure

[jackson12324]

Not Michael. I can tell If you watch is dance moves his doing... He doing dance moves from smooth criminal. But you can clearly tell his body shape is in the Thriller era...NICE TRY

[vincentrich]

He used that doorway type of entrance in quite a few of his performances. This was probably an early test to see how it would look.

[dirratt]

@pooch430 Too skinny ti be Michael , Really? BS

[vincentrich]

@dirratt

"Too skinny" is probably the one thing that you CAN'T use to identify an MJ impersonator. The man was a twig for most of his adult career, but that was his look.

[bmwenthusiest]

@Trevorbisharat It wasn't a sacrifice for him, it's what he loved to do.

[AirbusAirliner]

Why are people debating weather it's Michael or not? Of course it is. Just because he was massively talented and amazing in every way doesn't mean he couldn't set up camera to watch himself lol. I do it all the time! Sadly I lack the confidence to show people :/

[1wdboy]

Michael jackson ´´´´´´´NO ACCEPT HIS COLOR ´´´´´´

[misssparkles1983]

NOT michael

[Argo108]

nobody will ever replace MJ the King of Dance

[mebear45]

thats kinda creepy..... i mean, i LOVE micheal jackson, but its like a a shadow figure.... RIP MJ

[0RobinHood1]

I'm Jesus

[SacroiD]

It's Michael jackson. Look the expression of his fingers.

[rekunta]

Awesom to see. Literally watching a legend being born. Anyone who thinks that's not MJ is not a fan. Look at those legs, the transitions, his hips, the preciseness of his hands. If that's not him I'd be VERY surprised.

[moonwalker10001]

dat nigga an't michael jackson do damn fuckin fat compared to mike\

[TheEzekiel300]

@moonwalker10001 that is mike, you doofus!

[ta4life27]

@moonwalker10001 thats mj working on some new moves he told me that

[MichaelJahckson]

I DONT KNOW 

[MJ1992KingofPop]

that's michael.... its from an old documentary from the motown days.

[zpheyheyhey]

[TheEzekiel300]

@zpheyheyhey That is mike!

[mjsc97]

no it is the lean!!

[TheKingsnake22]

Michael jacksons best move is The moon walk

[slicky977]

Don't know who that is but it's not michael jackson. I'd bet money on that.

[Rockfanforlife1]

@slicky977 yes it is is from a documentry

[sundayess]

it is michael it looks like he's tall but the camera has something above it so it looks like hes tall

[feenix121]

i dont think tht him cause he wasnt that scrawny and he wasnt tht tall but this guy has good moves

[pianoplayer129]

this is not Michael Jackson. He was never that tall

[Ankka939]

@pianoplayer129 That is Michael.

[littlemonster98rose]

That's Michael, I can feel it <3

[Taksumaki]

Billie Jean does not practice, practices the initial movements of smooth crimial, when it is behind the fabric, curtain

[DJOXyGeNe8]

This is the first Smooth Criminal moves; mixed with Billie jean :)

[KingCorny93]

@DJOXyGeNe8 he also used them in "Things I Do For You", Bad Tour Yokohama :D

[michael195888]

mj best dancer i lke your videos



[streetmova86]

rehearsal for motown 25

[MICHAELJACKSONisgod1]

it is him IT IS A PART OF THE MICHAEL JACKOSN HOME VIDEOS!

[bryngOneOn]

michael jckson in bed with an adult female EXTREMELY RARE

[Lagash1973]

I had this unofficial interview Vhs tape too,but unfortunately I lost it at the time.Really too bad,but luckily I recover it as dvd later.

I've all MJ's movements printed in my mind,heart and soul,so I can tell it's absolutely 1000%° Michael Jackson here.

[arielndonna]

not him

[MichaelJahckson]

WOW COOL

[8dreadLock8]

this is him early 80's

[ThomasxicoFree]

ok i've changed my mind because i can tell this was recorded on VHS and a few things, this may have just him practicing or something along those lines thus he may not be putting the energy into it as he usually would in his performances

[Dom20002007]

@ThomasxicoFree u are delusional...ofcourse this is MJ...no one can dance like this! This is amazing...

[ThomasxicoFree]

@Dom20002007

My only arguement is that michael was a perfectionist and he wouldn't have allowed himself to be filmed unless all his movements looked great in his eyes and if you think of it, his spin is alot better than that in every video and live performance he's done, other than the fact he's overly skinny in this video its hard to make a complete sound judgement if this is him or not, i dont know tho part of me thinks it is him but another part doesn't

[kingdotian1]

@ThomasxicoFree Dude its him, You're right he is a perfectionist and that means he has to reheasrse right. I think he just wanted to see what it would look like on camera. We are actually seeing some history I think (if its made when I think it is). He is compiling the beginning steps to Billie Jean. And Michael has pretty much always been a really skinny kid. Without trying to sound ridiculously corny no one moves like MJ lol his dance mannerisms are all over this.

[greencookiemonsters]

@ThomasxicoFree It's Michael, I think he could be practising Billie Jean for the MT25.. nobody gives 110% while they rehearse. Besides, he always had everything filmed - rehearsals, performances, studio sessions - for his own use to see what could be done better. It's easy to make a sound judgement, lol, nobody got moves like Michael.

[ThomasxicoFree]

@greencookiemonsters Its not about the moves, its about the overall energy and i know this wasn't the rehearsal for the MT25 reunion, in his autobiography "Moonwalk" he says that he come up with his routine for the MT25 at the very last minute before the show because he spent the free time he had with his brothers choreographing there steps for the Jackson 5 part, and yes my arguement still stands moderately, though some of you have made very good points, im still not completely convinced yet

[greencookiemonsters]

@ThomasxicoFree He said he rehearsed for Billie Jean in their kitchen, didn't he... to me, this looks like it could be a kitchen but who knows. I seriously doubt he didn't rehearse for MT25, he had to. Nobody makes up moves like that in a second, especially with no formal dance training. I know, I was really more talking about the fact that Michael has a very unique way of moving, and I think this is him. Again, about the energy - nobody gives their all during rehearsals.

[ThomasxicoFree]

@greencookiemonsters in the moonwalk autobiography he said he come up with it at the very last minute and as far as his dance moves go and training, he recieved no formal training, he learned his moves from watching others, as a kid he said he use to watch the great performers and learn there dances very fast just by watching them move and if you look at the billie jean performance you will see that his main move was the " mash potatoes" and the moonwalk, other than that hte other dances are old

[ta4life27]

@ThomasxicoFree what is a mash potatoes

[ThomasxicoFree]

@ta4life27 its a very old dance, check out the motown 25 reunion when he first performs the moonwalk, in the beginning once he grabs the mic and starts dancing and singing how he kicks his left foot and then his right foot out sideways like that, thats the mash potatoes dance lol

[ThomasxicoFree]

@Dom20002007 many people can move like this but not like michael because of his overall finesse. the moves you are seeing are the exact moves that he has done in many of his videos and can be replicated by those who study the movement all the way around, notice when he does the snap and how fast he does it and how crisp the overall movements were. most times he barely even places his foot on the ground in order to get the fast snap he needs to make it look crisp etc there are plenty of diffs

[ThomasxicoFree]

im a huge michael jackson fan, and tho this person is very good at his movements and his movements are just like michaels, i believe this person is a bit to skinny to be michael even in michaels very skinny days, and a few of the movements aren't quite as crisp as michaels... now if this is michael then regardless its still incredible watching him work and if it is not then this person is still good, but on another note this might be michael after his fire accident to so i dont know

[joedickson29]

it's him I have this old VHS TAPE in my bedroom it was in 1984

[8bobthebuilder]

looks reminiscent of the part near the end of keep it in the closet music video..but this is def. from the 80s b/c of the shape of his body here.

[robertlagogi]

this is the intro video to one of his '84 interviews.he does the smooth criminal moves 4 years before the video was filmed in '88.

[lhommefok]

FAKE !!!!

[cdubmeyer]

@lhommefok no it's real dumbass, it's from the "Michael Jackson Home Movies" interview they did on Fox.

[lhommefok]

FAKE !!!!

[Beatlefan778]

@lhommefok no its real its from a interview

[TheWhatweis]

This is Michael,think about the Early 80's,Billie Jean,Thriller,Motown 25,and the Victory Tour,and this is from an interview,look it up on youtube. Besides who in the world can dance like that?

[EMMoney8806]

@TheWhatweis I agree. These ppl don't know what they're talkin about saying it's fake. It's evidently MJ.

[MJacksonLover1324]

@TheWhatweis but he dance'd like this in 90's. He didn't use these moves before 90's.

but yes he look so much like MJ in early 80's.

[kilLphiL280]

@MJacksonLover1324 No these moves invented by michael in the eraly 80s...check the video when he dancing with a midget in hus apartment...

[MJacksonLover1324]

@kilLphiL280 oh yeah i've seen it... I laughed all night...

[kilLphiL280]

@MJacksonLover1324 lol why u laughed?its sweet...:D

[MJacksonLover1324]

@kilLphiL280 It actually was some kinda smiling and as u said it was soo sweet and you know full of love that it made feel good, u know...

[cwoodie3]

@TheWhatweis I Can Dance Jus Like That But Thats Most Definitively Michael!! But If You Wanna Check Me Out Jus Search "Chase Woodie" and you'll see one of my MJ tributes and more dancing videos

[TheWhatweis]

@cwoodie3 lol Will do

[DECAROCKY]

non è lui mai nella vita sronzodimmerda!

[channelle810]

he is so thin....anyway luv u MJ

[tonga22fahca]

la verda no creo q sea michael jackson en 1980 no saco ni esos temas ni tenia esos pasos asique no creo q sea michael jackson the king of pop

[HAMMERDOWNROKK]

it looks like there's a balcony in the background, well i do not know the blueprints 4 his house

[RysiexOrtonxOuellet]

yeah it is michael cuz it was shown in a VH1 Tribute to Michael plus i think it was in a interview so STOP saying its fake just its NOT fake!

[8dreadLock8]

108 / 946 think that this isn't MJ.

[8dreadLock8]

Thumps UP if you think that's just after the 'Off The Wall" album.

[nicomar999]

IT'S MICHEAL JACKSON I CAN FEEL HIM ON MY HEART HE IS!!

[MrBruno2000]

@nicomar999 I have this on VHS that i got ages ago ,it is him ok?

[Aariyan096]

I wonder if he was perparing for the Motown performance :)

[MissA1485]

@Aariyan096 I think he was..I read somewhere the night before the motown performance he practiced in the kitchen of his encino home...that looks like a kitchen.

[Aariyan096]

@MissA1485 Thanks.

[natureboyfourever]

It's too obvious that this is Michael Jackson crafting his signature moves. His Billie Jean style didn't just pop out of the sky.  Just like the earlier Billie Jean demo, Michael is plainly in this video inventing and shaping his moves. I really wish the video was longer.

[8dreadLock8]

Everyone here has false.

Before judge, watch.

[hightops14]

If you was so smart..you would know that this was for intro of a interview..Smh-..so that is him..

[bpophantom]

That is Michael and he was that skinny during the 80s. You can see it in the victory tour with the thin black pants and of course thriller with those slim red pants on. And only he could be doing the smooth criminal moves during the Billie Jean era. Just like people remember him grabbing his crotch in the bad era but he was doing it before that on the victory tour.

[MrsSkuxieeMJ]

this is not MJ his hairis different too

[lovelylady2910]

@MrsSkuxieeMJ It is him. This was on MJ's private home videos. EVERYONE QUIT SAYING IT'S FAKE. It's making you look like a bunch of idiots.

[KAOS279]

FAKE

[zebkineforever]

that dosint seem to look like michael....

[MelvinTWells]

its Michael, it was on a Documentary back in the 80's

[mistermarcusgmail]

@MelvinTWells Just because it was on a documentary doesn't mean it was Michael here. 100% this man is not Michael Jackson.

[mistermarcusgmail]

I guarantee this is not Michael Jackson. No fluidity in transitions. Good, but it's not Michael.

[bigbeef77]

@mistermarcusgmail Your an idiot that is michael its from a Documentary

[Adana01ish]

who really loves MJ he knows thats a fake video look at the moves and you can definitly see the 100 % differents

[Adana01ish]

its fake

[RyDogRidesTheBus]

His legs look super skinny for a guy.

[ThomasPercy99]

It looks around 83/84

[MJJFanRebecca]

It's definitely Michael!

[ByDjIce]

its from the begining of an interview in 1983 withhis sister latoya

[Paddyza1403rwd]

DEAR MICHAEL

we all loved your music bar some idiots in the world why did you have to die a tragic death. We all still love you and as i said before bar some idiots

[lhejein]

hes like daddy long legs of Judy Abbot in that shadow

[beebah90]

Actually, this is in the beggining of an interview he did in 1983. Search for "Michael Jackson interview 1983" , click on part 1 and you guys will see.

[odiofratelremo98]

That's not MJ!! You can see perfectly that it is a normal guy dancing in front of the window!! That's so FAKE!!

[dusty990]

this is michael Jackson in 1984. his hair, body shape, dancing was just like him in 1984. look at his hair, he has a j heri curl. also his legs... he had really skinny legs back in '84. a true mj fan would know that.

[niknewman1]

That IS Michael Jackson

[TheWhatweis]

This is Mikey,come on think of Michael's look in the early 80's,besides no one can move like that but Michael,and look at his hair,I'm a guy and no homo but I noticed how kinda thick his legs have gotten in 1987 bad tour,this is Michael Jackson people.

[djmusicjac]

KING OF DISCO his tunes will live on forever

[MjisAlive59]

lol .. is not michael ? your are very stupid ... it is

[MichaelJackson0o]

People who say this ain't Michael, are obviously not fans. You have to be a fan to understand that this is Michael. 1. You can recognize it's Michael right away if you're a fan. 2. The fans know that this is from an unauthorized interview in 1983, at the beginning of it. The interviewers were given that home video of him practising. You search after it on here :)

[ghossler]

MJ got the most recognizable and defined movements ever! RIP YOU mj!

[sandy8202]

This Is Not Michael .

[MichaelJackson0o]

@sandy8202 It is.

[Gunbarrelguru]

@sandy8202 Yeah it is. You must not know Micheal. At ALL

[chookoutfit]

thats not him

the shape of his face is different

[MichaelJackson0o]

@chookoutfit How can you say that when you don't even see his face? That is IN FACT Michael, it's from a interview he did back in 1983.

[legominifig8]

Lol he didn't do those moves until 1996

[monkeysead]

@legominifig8 u dont know michael then

[legominifig8]

@monkeysead Well,I do.I'm talking about some moves.Like the smooth criminal ones.

[legominifig8]

@legominifig8 Oh wait I don't think any of those were from SC.

[darfdusty]

That looks like a ghost i have in my room.

[NAFIMJJ]

MJJ RULESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

[4lifedeja]

[216kqjace]

hmmm i think that might actually be him

[TheMindy81]

NOT MICHAEL! NOT AS SMOOTH AS MICHAEL! NOT MICHAEL!

[TheMindy81]

This is NOT Michael!!! Yes, he was skinny like this guy back in the 80's, but that is NOT his silouette! This man is a good dancer, but he is NOT as "Smooth" as Michael! I am a HUGE Michael Jackson fan, but this is NOT him!

[Unaki88]

That i not MJ.

[VampeD4]

[richzero0]

@VampeD4 OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I SAID BEFORE I OPENED THIS VIDEO!!!!!!!!!! because it said rare footage. i said " its on the internet .....its not rare anymore"
