[sexygirl23441]

MIchael Jackson may be dead but his music will live forever he was a great singer and dancer his music will never get old

[jhartist123]

Let's see, '83 to 2010=27. so, the kid who isn't his son is 27 or older. Put it in your music.(Katherin) I'll put up a million. Give it About 5 more years and will find atleast 1 little Michael comming out of the wood works. It all depends on what the powers that BE decide.

[kimberlyrav]

phenominal..I was lucky enough to watch this as a kid!!!

[bramstokerful]

Michael Jackson at his best. Some dancer!

[slimsxyblkwoman]

Michael was such an explosive and innovative artist! He never had to take his clothes off; rely on gimmicks or make sexual gestures in order to drive a crowd wild! He was truly one of a kind and he will be sorely missed!

[CupidsCureReview]

Mannn..I got the goose bumps watching the moonwalk @3:46

I remember this performance back the day, and that was the talk in school the next day, I mean everyone was trying the moon walk, I walked out of a few shoes myself. I did the tip to dance and made some irreversable creases in my church shoes. Yes I also hemmed my school pants shorter and had the white socks showing toooo.

No other musician has ever influenced me the way MJ did musically.

He was the greatest performer ever.

[Keezie27]

Yeah so he mimed? Big deal! Still one of the greatest performances on TV EVER! I think it just might be the most famous televized performance ever. Michael was nominated for an emmy for this performance, but didn't win. Anyway, he was wonderful. I mean, he was really on fire that night. Really incredible. I still get goosebumps when I see this performance, no matter how many times I see it, I'm still amazed and in awe of MJ's talent everytime.

[mitchdude98]

he seriously is the king of pop!!!

[katangel2008]

amazing song LONG LIVE THE KING!!!!!!!!

[comedyartist95]

luv dis song

[jonnagilda]

He didn't lip sync. He sang it perfectly.

[mhairi2006]

I think he might have been lip syncing there, bear in mind this was a TV show in the 80s where this was a common practice. Not sure if you're British but remember Top of the Pops? : S (if you're not, look it up)

However, it matters not as this clip illustrates Michael's superb talent as an entertainer and there simply will never be another like him, certainly not in our lifetime!

More importantly, it was the first time he did the Moonwalk on stage. Astounding!

[Draven1888]

miming

[SHAWTiiSzATEN]

MAGIC! put simply.

[Sofi8007]

with this performance..

HE MADE HISTORY!!

[Rasenshuriken22]

[Sofi8007]

At this night.. if I am not wrong..I think..it was the official night..when he started kind a solo career

correct me if I am wrong..

by the way... the bald coat or jacket..what he has on..is his mothers ;)

so cuuuutie!

[daggersteve]

you are wrong

[Sofi8007]

about what?

[KeNZieRoCkStAr]

let me explain more, Thriller the album, not Thriller the song. and the other one album was Off the wall, with songs like rock with you and dont stop til u get enough.

[KeNZieRoCkStAr]

noooo! it was waaaaaaaay after Thriller was avaible at stores being like top ten n#1 , but he had one solo Off the wall, remember?

[0569201722]

[yahia94400]

c'est le meilleur , elvis c'est de la merde à coté.et il était musulman, mach'allah .Tout comme son frere qui lui est reconverti à l'islam depuis 1989. qu'allah lui deverse de sa miséricorde.

Allah faites qu'il ne souffre pas dans sa tombe car c'était quelq'un de bien que les sionistes ont voulu détruire et salir.

[bulan92]

The King is dead, long live The King

[TheGreatSacora]

[isaac3096]

[annabel700]

amazing

[NateSongz89]

how old was he at this time?

[SUPERLATINO95]

He was like 25 or 26....no 25 because this is before his birthday & Motown was founded in January 12th, 1959 & this was in 1984

[agallegoca]

it was in 1983, Thriller video wasn´t presented yet, and he won 8 grammys in 1984, so....

[wrestlemania12345]

Yes It Was.... Billie Jean Beat it and Thriller were all presented in 1982 then he won the grammys in 84 i guess thriller came out to late for grammy to present in 83

[Justfine59]

Michael Jackson , the greatest entertainer that ever lived , yesterday , today , and tomorrow, past , present , and future........MJ FOREVER, THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING

[Shateek3]

The best television performance I've ever seen!! And I saw this when I was 9!!

R.I.P.....finally they will leave u alone michael jackson.....we love u forever......u r a great person nomater wit nobody says the way u look.....u r a wonderful.

t

[lovingorca]

I can't beleive he's gone either, it just doesn't seem real. His oldest sister supects foul play. we'll find out what. I hope they find out what really took our brother and friend so soon. as the song said. Gone too soon.

[killthebarflies]

freaking legendary.

[nanq89]

He's definitely miming in this. Impressive dancing though.

[1998jeepgc]

i was raised on mj and my kids are raised on mj. known for all the good and humanitarian things he lived his life for. let us noy judge oneanother but uplift your fellow man. REST IN PEACE MJ!

[Hawkeyegrappler3]

I've always said those child molestation charges were bogus. I have three kids and if someone molested them, there wouldn't be a dollar amount in this world that would make me forget about it. I would want their blood. I would want to beat them until their was nothing left. Then I would want their remains put in prison. People just took his kindness for weakness. Michael Jackson will forever be the King of Pop. RIP Michael.

[tobiasvanerlov]

Watch "The Jacksons: An American Dream" from 1992, incredible. R.I.P, Michael, you were and are still truly the greatest.

[lovingorca]

i have that movie, and I also have Man in the mirror.

[fifbeat]

This man deserves his revenge. And we... we deserve to die. RIP. MJ!

[crowkangi]

Great line

[cj4ever21]

can someone help me i seen this music video with michael doing the moon walk and then he started doing it in circles plz reply

[dooli1981]

is this it? at 5:50

/watch?v=swYaQoeki60

[tomthewender]

Too bad he paid a kid's family 22 million dollars so he wouldn't go to jail. Sort of spoils it all.

[lafaholic]

More like your comment spoils it all.

It's time to celebrate the greatest entertainer ever. Celebrate his music, his dance, his amazing talent, and of course his humanitarianism.

[Momentum139]

What should really make you feel stupid is that Jordan ADMITTED that he lied for his father about the molestation charge. So really, you're just talking out of your ass to reignite an old internet bandwagon.

[gtambbdogg]

how old was he here?

[Momentum139]

Pretty darn young I imagine, early 20s - mid 20s.

[LqrDrnkr757]

I cried like a little bitch when michael died, it was like losing a family member

[honeeluvme]

man my heart hurts wtching this. Idk wheter to smile or to cry. We truly did lose a special, special person. A legend! I love you Michael

[station51kmg365]

Michael was Fine and it was exciting to watch him dance back in the day!

[Spookyoreocookie]

3:47-3:49 the greatest moonwalk ever

from the greatest popstar ever R.I.P

[nroberts1680]

Micheal Jackson your  music will always live on till the end of time. With love RIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[OCgrl88]

My childhood died yesterday :( sad to say but Michael Jackson finally gets the peace that he wanted. RIP

[ricardoslilbro]

There will never be another this good. There will never be another with as much passion. Why is it so second nature to know and do the moonwalk, but taking it back to the first time the world saw this man walk in reverse and do his thing..this is truly timeless.

[ilaughALOThehe]

it's one of those moments that people will remember what they were doing the moment they found out he was dead, we'll look back in a few years and remember his amazing, unique talent as a performer and artist and we'll all go look up on the new youtube and look at this video in awe

[rapcemetary123]

damn imma miss that moonwalk

[jaihova]

had to see the moonwalk one last time  =-(

[jaihova]

i just had to see the moonwalk one last time!!!! :-(

[cheekygirl1972]

What can I say except this was absolutely one of the most brilliant performances I have ever seen.

[Dindi69]

I needed to see this one last time. RIP man the world is forever in ur debt

[amitborgaonkar]

r.i.p mike

[FTUNU2]

It was my 32nd b-day yesterday (6-25-09)

Now it was the day Michael died...

Crazy...

I remember watching this live on t.v

R.I.P.

[worldwadeweb]

sure it was lip-synched: it was actually all about the dance performance and stagecraft, which was stunning of course.

[ilbv5]

First ever moonwalk

[geass360]

this is the number 1 live performance in history and will remain in that spot, RIP Michael people in africa and all around the world will miss u

[scottrone]

not even close...it was lip synched

[mslisaam]

Goodbye Michael. Thank you.

[tlh215]

Pity YT only allows for five stars.

This performance deserves every star in the sky.

I watched it the night it originally broadcast. Both my dad and I saw it, and we just sat there with our jaws hanging open.

It was the moment Michael was crowned king.

Supposedly Fred Astaire called Michael on the phone the day after this show and told him that he rocked. Michael said, "WOW...and I thought YOU were the best of the best!"

[mrchickabee]

he was an amazing artist R.I.P michael u will be missed!

[sboswell12000]

One of my favorite moments in music history. A lot of people acknowledge this to be the performance that the "moonwalk" debuted.

[rambrasil]

Genius.

[fni2007]

wow, can't believe he's gone :-(

[terrypears]

RIP

[TIFFANI520]

This could very well be the best performance ever!

[bebelusha2002]

Thank you for posting! I love it !!
