Will You Be There (Free Willy Tribute to Keiko)

[HearNSee1]

One of my favorite songs by MJ although choosing from his awesome collection throughout the many years is extremely hard. This sums up what we all feel at some point in time as IMPERFECT human beings. Lost,alone,entangled,adrift at times or caught in the snares of others. The one comforting thing is knowing that thru it all someone is going to be there with us...no matter what, even until the end! RIP Michael & Keiko. Beautifully done tribute! Thanks for sharing...it is so prophetic & moving.

[browngreen00]

he was use to be in captivity and being with ppl who care for him and when he was released he loved being back in the ocean but lost his appetite and died of phenomena

[XoooStacieLynnooox]

Keiko=beautiful whale

Michael Jackson=beautiful man

RIP both.<3

MARAVILHOSO O VIDEO E É CLARO..A MUSICA.

[TheMischievousbull]

@darkwavesproduction I told u I regret asking that, poor thing y can't we just leave them alone :(

[bluetardis4402]

I may regret asking this but what is happening at 1:29?

[DarkWavesProduction]

@bluetardis4402

At 1:29 its footage of a Killer Whale tangled in a net. He was trying to escape from the Whalers and ended up drowning himself.

[kelsie324]

every time i watch this movie i cry :(

[desmargaritando]

Son animales hermosos e increiblemente inteligentes, me imagino que no hay experiencia mas grandiosa que poder estar muy cerca de una orca....

Pero considero que es mejor verlas en su habitat natural, sin que sufran el maltrato y la monotonia que viven en mucho acuarios!!!!

Por el respeto a tod@s las especies vivas, no a la caza y cautiverio de las ballenas Orca!!!!!!

[Dinoman217]

May Keiko the killer whale live in our hearts forever!

[AllThatWillGlitter]

What happened to him?

[DarkWavesProduction]

@AllThatWillGlitter

Keiko aka Free Willy died in I believe December 12, 2002. He had phenomena. Very sad if you ask me.

[AllThatWillGlitter]

@DarkWavesProduction Awwww! I actually have a phobia of killer whales, but that is quite sad!!!! x

[padrak18]

@DarkWavesProduction Sad, yes it was. He did die a free whale though. Love you

Keiko and sorry for how us humans treated you and yours.

[Dinoman217]

@padrak18 When time machines are invented, you could go back to some random time when keiko was still alive, draw blood from him, take the sample back to the present time, and clone him!

[Dinoman217]

@DarkWavesProduction I know! He died just 6 days after my 9th birthday!

[mistygirl13g]

aw i mise keiko

[bastardobuono]

wow keiko anche this video ^^ very good!

[tiantazz1]

RIP KEIKO FOREVER = MJ AND KEIKO

[tiantazz1]

RIP KEIKO FOREVER=MJ AND KEIKO

[AdaMzMuFFiN]

Media Killed Keiko.

R.I.P. <3

[MrViktor21]

Respond to this video... I never had a chance to see mj in concert. I was young when I saw the first movie and I was immediately in love with the mj and keiko. I will miss you both. Rest in peace

[MySnaz]

Sadly Keiko's place was in the wild, not in a pen. When will man realize animals are not put on Earth for our entertainment?

[raidersoccachic14]

rest in peace both of you, michael and keiko.

Rest In Peace<333

[xxleandraxx1]

I was 3 when this came out i'd sing and dance along with mj my fav :')

[shawtylomarcus]

There will never be another orca like him.

[Mattymullen08]

Kieko died in 2003 of pneunmia of however u say it, im really sad about it becuase i have watched all the free willy movies, but i only found out he died the other day. It makes me read when i read up on Keikos life,

Most sad of all, he never got to meet his family

[GodzillaHeisei]

RIP Keiko. Why did it have to be Keiko? )':

[zgorbeul]

Michael Jackson you will remain in people's heart for ever! :X

[princessbridesmaid]

keiko is such a good whale and did good acting in free willy movie that I enjoyed watching as a kid. I never got to meet keiko but feel sad about him not being alive anymore. At least he's in lords hands having peace.Now my prayers go out to keiko, and michael jackson. They both will be missed terribly..At least they are in heaven together keiko and michael jackson since they were parts of free willy movie. They will be truely missed forever.

[Amareia94]

@princessbridesmaid you can always come to Norway, to my commune, Halsa, and add a stone to his grave... it's never too late...

[Luckilain]

I love keiko!!! orcas a re my favourites animals ever!!!!R.I.P ;-(

[lovelydiva06]

@princessbridesmaid he was lonely... that was the problem...

[jammd05]

[thepasifiregirl]

[ICNTBone]

wow i didnt know that keiko died.....man thats sad.......i was one of the people who started up a foundation in virginia to get him somewhere safer wen i was 8. man thats sad

[Quest4lostTreasure]

Keiko was a very beautiful Orca. I had the chance to see him a few times when he made his home here in Oregon. He was happy here, until the animal rights wanted him "free". Swim free Keiko, you are majestic!

[paintingsina83]

Keikos last days ended up in Norway. The country I'm from. But I never got the chance to see him:(

[AdoptedChick]

aww whales kissin cuutteee xx

[bchacks]

one of my favorite animal movies ever. touches my heart i still got some videotapes of free willy

[ashleysinluv]

michael loved animals and children and we all miss him so much there has never been a true king since elvis and he was the biggest that meant everything in music

[trampo87]

so sad that the 2 have now gone, great whale and pop star r.i.p

[c0l0mb0r1cua]

RIP Keiko & Michael. Both taken too soon. You will both be missed.

[metridium]

Of at least 193 orcas held in captivity since 1961 (wild-caught or

captive-born), 151 (78%) are now dead.Almost all of the

orcas in the U.S.and about half of the captive orcas kept

worldwide, are owned by SeaWorld. For years the corporation per-

sistently and erroneously maintained that the maximum life span

of orcas was 35 years,but its website now states instead that no

one knows for sure how long killer whales live, and that they live

at least 35 years. Naomi A. Rose-PhD-2009

[Danceswithorcas3]

In the wild female killer whales can live up to 100 years. And, males can live up to about 50. No one is sure how long they can live in captivity.

[Patbotelho]

Lindo !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ivanacabello11]

Cry when i heard this song

[9xD3]

mi sei sempre piaciuto

[coldfussdog]

[HolyGhostman117]

Shamu died a long time before keiko was even heard of

[BasicMusicline]

before 1993?

[marcy1363]

RIP both Keiko and Michael Jackson

[76lovelight76]

Does anyone know what year Keiko died?

[Phantess]

December 12, 2003.

[76lovelight76]

Thank you so much, we just watched the movies of free willy and couldn't remember when willy had died. so sad once again thanx.

[Phantess]

Don't mention it.

He died in Taknes fjord, in Norway, I think that's the name of it.

[meaness247]

it was 2003

[Surfgirl1506]

Oh... :'( I'm so sad!! this video with this song made me cry like a child. I saw the three movies of free willy about fifteen years ago, now i'm 24 and when she died i cried a lot...

Michael... You always will be there

[EezyMacaroni]

my girl's got some Keiko lipstick.

hey hey, I'm an ASS. I know, you don't have to tell me.

R.I.P. Michael Jackson. I love this song. It brought tears to my eyes when I watched this music video. His voice really reaches out and touches you - (mhm, there's a joke there that I'm just gonna leave alone).

[Mutt1322]

I thought they had forgotten about one of my all time favorite MJ songs,I'm so happy and moved they used this song at the Memorial, I thought the ending of the song would be perfect and apparently someone else though so too.

In the words of MJ "I'll never let you part, for you're always in my heart." You'll always be in my heart Michael R.I.P. !

[californiagirl562]

Beautiful song and perfect for the memorial. I heard the whispers in the background after Jennifer sang and it was like MJ was there. I cried through the whole thing. I am a 66 year old grandmother.

[cicamaca86]

branka im gonna miss you mj i love you

[jqedward]

Free Willy was one of my favorite movies growing up. I loved that movie and Keiko had alot to do with it. Michael you wrote such an awesome song for this movie. You WILL ALWAYS BE THE KING OF POP. RI.P Michael Joseph Jackson.

[brownpearlprincess11]

rest in peace keiko and michael

[rach189]

[GeenyWeeny0905]

Eines seiner geilsten Lieder.

[Gallygoy]

[10LightYears]

really? they shouldn't have released keiko out in the wild cause he grew up in a diff'rent environment. look what happened...too sad!

[Foster45678]

P.S say hi to keiko for me :(

[Foster45678]

this just brings me back memories of the great legend of Keiko and the Great Michael Jackson. I feel speechless right now. Michael, your face may have changed but your voice and singing and great dance moves will never leave my heart, R.I.P im gonna miss you man :( :(

[Mutt1322]

First Keiko and now Michael Jackson two great legends that have left the Earth for good. The world will never be the same without you, Michael R.I.P.

[TheMissy1266]

i also had seen keiko 3 times when he was at the oregon coast aquarium, and now michael,along with so many other greats that have gone,here lately quite a few.ed mcmahon,farrah.

but now the pain and suffering is over.

[CindyPDX]

I cried when Keiko died.. I saw him here at the Oregon Coast Aquarium. And today, I cry more tears for the loss of Michael Jackson.

Both were a HUGE impact on my life. I will continue to tell my children and their children how great they were.

They may be gone, but they will NEVER be forgotten.

[enigma65]

micheal jackson n keiko will always in our heart...!!

best movie best music...

[unotwoune]

Good song, nice whale work, RIP TO THE KING

[deaddancer666]

Long Live Keiko !

[xkilleringo]

[Draliongirl]

[Carjackforeverxx]

No, Keiko was a boy.

[Draliongirl]

Wow since the movie i thought he was a girl, cause i heard it on the radio, and well the woman speaking must have been confused, anyways, thanks for letting me know. RIP Keiko

[Carjackforeverxx]

Welcome :)

[boggiemon]

i draw willy luna little spot on my omas sewing room and two big killer whales oh oma is granda in german

[keiko44]

he died on 12 of december in 2003.

He got pneumonia.

and he was old...

sorry if u don't understand but im hungarian

[NataashaS]

what happen and why did he die with old age or not being feed or not been let free in to the wild because i loved that whale someone tell me what happen to free willy and i hope he is ok and when did he die rip free willy

[dblsweet]

:24-:27 is so awesome. i wish i could do that! lol

[guitargal91]

great tribute!! Free Willy's the best movie ever and this is the best song to accompany it!!

[23xBOOxBOOx23]

i cried when he died

i used to live in nj nd my dad use to bring me to the rivers nd said thats where he was i watched free willy everyday ='/ i miss him

[PriaNorm]

Because of you pc fake Americans this whale wound up dead . Sick and half starved than died. Will you idiots be releasing any more orcas any time soon.

[MISANTHROPY647]

where did you hear that?

[catsrox123]

i love u keiko like i love the movies !!! i love whales i had one painted on my wall last year i love you it makes me cry when i see the movies !!! I love the killer whales

[NataashaS]

i cant belive he is died i dont now how he died i love him

[mandolinut]

When you think about it, we are all "held in captivity" when we go off to work every day..where we would rather not be , in order to get our fish thrown to us (paycheck). Most all of us perform for society, just not in a tank.

[poodude]

great tribute thank you

[AbyssBoundTraitors]

MJ does this song with such powerful emotion. It defines who he is as a person and it inspires a standing ovation in Heaven and a high five atta boy from God.

[AbyssBoundTraitors]

Upon further review, I withdraw my above comment. The reverse audio techniques when applied to a few MJ tunes is either a terrible lie/misinformation or He has some spirit friends using him as a host that sound an awful lot like demons. Personally, I think the White House should all be starting their day by praying for Gods help to reduce any influence of Black magic

[hollysmith1]

o that brought a tear to my eye watching that i love the other orca footage on that too great vid

[JavihxMjj]

hermoso

sobretodo la

cancion de Michael Jackson!

lo amo!

[msquareforever]

i watch free willy evryday.i luv killer whales and ive gota chance to kiss one.i luv u keiko!

[Zeina1980]

Remeber when I heard that Keiko died. It felt like a part of me died, too. I know, sounds melodramatic, but the movie, and the whale changed me. Since then I have had no desire to see animals perform for a crowd, unless it's in their natural habitat.

[mrschrisbrown4ever]

Ohh and I didn't know until a couple of days ago that the whale who played willy(keiko) in the movie died from pneumonia in 2003, I was sad when I found out.. :( RIP Keiko

xxx

[mrschrisbrown4ever]

I luv that movie Free Willy, I used to watch it all the time when I was younger. watching this video brings back gud memories from my childhood.

xxx

[broodwarcd]

please show your respect by using proper grammar and English. Im sure if this whale meant so much you would have the time to completely spell out the words instead of using these childish abbreviations.

[broodwarcd]

Whoops...i did not mean to offend the person speaking Spanish. I just mean if your using English use proper English.

[mrschrisbrown4ever]

excuse me, just because i did not use proper english in my comments does not mean i don't care about the whale. I do care about Keiko otherwise I wouldn't have bothred writing a comment on this video at all. ppl have different ways of typing words online and if u don't like the way i type then thats ur problem.

[broodwarcd]

Having different ways of typing words does not make it alright. It is standardized so people are able to communicate and comprehend what others say. I cant just throw random symbols on a piece of paper and say "its how i write." no offense was meant, it is just unnecessary and shows lack of thought. Thus, i took that you were just another person trying to get a cheap approval high from the people who watch such videos.

[heartofsnow23]

why are you such a c*ck??? Ive just been reading the lovely comments left by others to come across your pointless and arrogant remark on someones abbreviation. People are aloud to show appreciation on such videos without smart arses like you putting them down....get a life!

[katyjordan]

He was a lovely whale, but I can't help to think he would of had a happier life, living free, in his own world, with his family.

Living in captivity takes 25 years of a whale's life, because they miss their families and they have a lot more room to swim around in.

[203177]

Such a sweet video. I love this song and this movie. I'll miss you Keiko, RIP.

[fizzwify]

Omg when I was little I would always watch free willy, I fell in love with keiko...he was so cute n friendly...I even had the toy of keiko...keiko died of pneumonia he was only 27 year old, damn RIP keiko never forget u.

[gyufits]

so cuteee!!!!!....

[wolfstar23]

awesome song

[motown1983]

wut the hell...

tryin to make urself a mv??

[gaziarif]

May be NO. I saw this mvdo 10/12 years ago.

[19Sadler]

R.I.P Keiko! will always be the best animal to ever apear on television or star in a film!

[bamerongirl4ever]

98,855 times... A BROKEN OUT RECORD!!!

[19Sadler]

a little bit more than 98,855 now!

[bamerongirl4ever]

WHHAAAT?!?!?!?!?

[volley9234]

this song is soo touching

[davontevault]

i love free willy it touches me and this song rules i have them all but there not all as good as #1

#1 rules it kicks ass

[Trendzgl]

I love this movie and killer whales are my favorite animals

[slimladyteresa]

When did Keiko die? I loved this movie.

[tinkerbellS07]

...december 12, 2003

[slimladyteresa]

aww that's sad. That whale made me cry esp when it kept telling Jesse NO by shaking it's head..........they are just remarkable animals.

[happyteen06]

i cry every time at the end when keiko jums because it's just so good that he's free as all animals should be.

[MISANTHROPY647]

someone else said it was in 2005.

[ponyprinces]

why does his fin curl over???

who is the other killer whale??

[bffeaeltd16]

She was born like that i think

Her name is Keiko

[SuperShadow30]

Actually Keiko was a he.

[bffeaeltd16]

plus they are free willy family

[kickinbbkelly]

If the whale is kept in captivity that usually happens to their fin... the pressure of deep water keeps it striaght and its because of them turning in their tanks so much in captivity

[tinkerbellS07]

they think because he was in captivity so ling, but i havent seen any other orcas with a curled fin

[happyteen06]

it's fin curls over because it lived in captivity

[jahoom]

why is this not on the history album?

[dani6962]

if ur talking about the song by michael its because its on his Dangerous album and the soundtrack to the movie

[AndooPandoo]

Fantastic song, and Free Willy is a great movie

[cute11163]

really good song luv it........

[cute11163]

really good song luv it........

[pacificgirl89]

[forseti10]

[Shamupride]

I love this vid and the song! Killer whales are soooooo amazing and I miss Keiko sooooo much!!!! love ya!!!

[OBrasilo]

This song is plagiarism! Michael Jackson copied it from the song "I Cigni Di Balakà" by Albano Carrisi and Romina Power. :-/

[picsparks]

it's called sampling
