  • Kristy was an amazing actor, an old soul & it was evident in her ability to tell a story with her acting...but she was never comfortable with being a star...and she was a HUGE star at the time. This is amazing footage, never seen it before. You can see how awkward she feels about the whole thing. Still love her !

  • gees...it was 1978 for crying out loud! Lighten up. I was a kid then and loved these two!

  • If you don't like Kristy and Jimmy, why are you here watching this??

  • Tried to be like Donny And Marie..

  • I had a crush on Kristy Mcnichol, still do. She is awesome, loved her in when the lights went out in georgia. I wish her all the best. Your fan forever Don.

  • sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I'm pretty sure this is why Kristy and Jimmy's parents are now Pro Abortion.

  • Comment removed

  • ----> late 80's to 2000 as being a teen and 20's and we had our own styles that were actually cool and then i have listen to kids act like their cool when all their doing is sporting some crappy 70's and 60's ugly assed looks with a splash of 50's! I mean talking old looking!

  • The funny thing is this is the look that is in now and even from the 60's and then people, teen's and young adults will make fun of this and not think to look in the mirror and on TV and see these exact hair styles and then look down at those funny tapered jeans their wearing with a weird cut rear end style from the 60's ((Beatles)) style and even from the 50's a button shirt with a skinny tie and jacket and they open their mouth about being cool, please! My time you could say was in the------->

  • he,he. Ahhhhhhh the 70's. This ruled way back when ...

  • Thank Christ Jodie Foster chose to make French-language avant-garde folk records and fuck around with a twenty-something in France when she was around 15, otherwise she would probably have wound up forgotten like poor Kristy and Jimmy. Kristy in particular deserved better. Her manager should have been beaten with a stocking full of wet shit for allowing or encouraging her to commit artistic suicide like this.

  • I can't believe I thought these two were the 'next coming'..lol I STILL love em!! lol

    Brings back too many wonderful memories!! =]

  • ahhhhh tha 70's u gotta love it.

  • You have to remember, At this point in time( the 70's) A child actor showing multiple interests was a big deal! It's so commonplace today you actually expect child actors to also have an album deal. Well...... You can thank these people who paved the way.

  • This will really make you want to forget the 70s

  • Okay,well I thought that their act or whatever it was,was corney back then and I still think it's even cornier today. I'm amused that I still think this .

  • Painnnnnnnnnnful! ow!!  ahhh! ouch! arrrrg!

  • This set white people back 50 years

  • this song really sucks

  • @nimbus0611 Back in the day it was an awesome song..=] Be respectful!!

  • I had a crush on Kristy. But, this is shit.

  • The downfall of disco... When you have Kristy and Jimmy McNichol

    stabbing at it... and then the Rolling Stones... and then Ethyl Merman...

    and then The Muppetts... and then Charo... and then Starsky and

    Hutch... and then John Travolta... I remember the roots of it: R&B.

    No, not only rhythm & blues, but Real and Black! When the likes of

    the aforementioned got done with their share of it, no wonder there

    was a back-lash.

  • Its funny when the older brother has a higher voice than his little sister.

  • Kristy can't sing, and she can barely dance, but she's got so much personality. Jimmy had a decent falsetto, but he had the moves.

    I would say this act was a showcase for Jimmy's only real talent.

  • loved them!!! they were fabulous

  • God, they fuckin sucked. Does she have a deeper voice than him??? LOL!

  • Jimmy has some banging moves tho. And I always hate how Dick Clark does that "gonna turn my back to the camera "OH HEY" to the audience as he forgets were there", then the lights go down low, hand on hip, and he fakes talks to them. I know he fake talks because the guests always scoot in to hear him. And he talks with his hands. This is when his face turns into the devil.

  • Us white people can't dance.

  • omg jimmy mcnichol is os hot heheh i love that guy

  • she has such a fine voice. shame she did'nt develop it further as a singer.

  • Happy 50th Birthday James!

  • You know when you deliberately look up a video on Youtube that you know will annoy the fucking shit out of you but you watch it anyways? That is what I'm doing right now.

  • @GlanceofGlory

    i'm with ya..check out jimmy's moves

  • LM fuckin ASS OFF! Haha! Oh the late 70's was so shameless in exploiting careers and adolescents !! And yes, all you people 20 yrs old & younger, THIS was considered mainstream "hip" at the time, lmao!

  • I had the biggest crush on Jimmy McNichol as a teenager. Had a poster of him and Leif Garrett on my wall.

  • @musshel2 - I did too. I had him and Scott Baio.

  • Kristy is so cool...she's a special person - I hope she's happy in her life right now!

  • Man, this is all kinds of bad... bahahaha!

  • These guys make the DiFranco Family sound like Led Zeppelin.

  • I had this on 45, B side of He's So Fine!

  • entertaining. Much better than that crazy "Brady Bunch Variety" baloney.

  • jimmy mcnichol ended up in a small town named durango which is in colorado and i went to elemetry school and i was in the same class as jimmy's son. his son brought him in and hes a washed music artist that cant play worth shit. Also hes and ass so if theres any one that wants to find him come to durango colorado

  • @slipknotheadbanger11 I'd love to know what happened to Kristy, not my thing for music but she was quite an actress

  • I kinda like the song Bee Gees meets Giorgio Moroder. Could be a hit today, just do another hit of poppers! My friend saw Jimmy at Studio 54 coming out the stall after having a 3 way with a girl and a guy! Great song and performance. Loved Kristy in "White Dog" and "Only When I Laugh."

  • This would be a #1 hit if it came out this year. Dick Clark is like, fuck, do I have to bring this act on my stupid show.

  • In the 70's anyone could be a triple threat LOL!!!

  • leave kristy and jimmy alone

  • They could really use some dance lessons.

  • ROFLMAO I got this album for Christmas '78

  • If either one of these people were my siblings back then, I would have killed them out of respect for the "rest" of my family. Geez...no wonder Kristy McNichol would later have mental problems. She probably sensed this performance would wind up on Youtube eventually. My God..."eternal" embarrassment.

  • To all who are putting Kristy and Jimmy down, please upload a video of yourself doing better. I'd like to see it.

  • @childsweethearts calm down , lol hit a nerve jonein on em , loser

  • OMG they were awful, who told them they could sing? this is just not right

  • aw come on, they were so cute. Both of them were....The thing I liked about them was that they were both like the kids next door... And that was refreshing - and yeah, they kind of were in that Donny and Marie thing going on... but still, they were cute...

  • Good thing He's A Dancer because these two sure aren't.. I actually like them and it's good to see this but man... !

  • they were trying to copy Donny and Marie... Heh heh

  • @getoutofmyway01 yea, but Donny and Marie were pretty good!! hehe

  • I have these songs on CD. I wish I lived when these kids ruled the world. I don't how so many people could find Justin Bieber appealing. I just don't see it. The Mcnichols had talent.

  • Wtf

    Rotflmfao

  • I really needed a GOOD LAUGH !

  • Wow, I didn't remember how much these two SUCKED. Yeah, they were kids. . .but they still sucked. And they clip makes it so obvious why Jimmy's career in showbiz was so very short. Kristy at least had some charisma. Jimmy had none.

  • Ummm there are just no words to explain this... Where is Kristy theses days anyway

  • I have NO sound when I view this....can someone explain why??

  • Kristy has about as much dancing talent as a retarded bulldog

  • The birth of lip of syncing

  • This is the funniest shit I've ever seen!!! Ha ha..........LAME!

  • OMG... Here's an oldie!!! People told me I looked like her when I was younger... I guess I did have the hair thing goin' on! LOL

  • i hope to dance like that one day and sing.

  • i did'nt know kristy could sing???i missed this one???somehow???

  • Where did they think they were going with this routine? And I liked them too, but this is bizarre.

  • who's that girl she's dancing with?

  • @onyxone144  lmao

  • Even by 70's standards this is pretty cheesy. but still a hoot to watch now.

  • Good grief LMAO!

  • Kristy Brady Osmond & Tall Jimmy Osmond

  • I can't help but to like this:) They were so adorable...

  • jimmy had weird posture. is there a clip where do their real dance routine? apparently they really good "authentic disco" dancers.

  • this must bring back BAD memories.

  • It may be the ultimate in 70s cheese as you say but Kristy sure knows how to move those hips

  • The ultimate in 70's cheeze.I'm sure these days Kristy would agree.The seventies were the best though.Kristy was every young boys dream of the 70's generation(including mine).Thats something.

  • Don't they have a funkier song (relatively speaking) called Hot Tunes?

  • whites can dance,we have travolta.

  • Still have the LP. and have put the music on my MP3. Kristy is wonderful. Great actress & singer. Still think she is beautiful & sexy. Had a HUGE crush on her late 70's/80's.

  • Her voice is real. Not sure about his...

  • IM so glad I spent my time in the garage under my car.....replacing transmisions

  • wow - does this bring back memories!!!

  • lip sync heaven. Funny how things haven't changed much.

  • what happened to the sound??? :-(

  • he's also trying to do a "John Travolta" move or two..

  • she's got a mor manly voice than he does! LOL!!!

  • It's true white people can't dance.

    i remeber this from when I was a kid.

    I had a similar suit as Jimmy, but in burgundy,,,, i...

  • Morb, you're an idiot.

  • Gar-oovy!

  • I don't know if this was ever broadcast out in California but I was 10 at the time and I would have been impressed by the sound of the music and seeing entertainers close to my age and also disco music was about near it's height in popularity in 1978. So, keep the frame of thought in mind....

  • I think Jimmy got socked in the balls before he got on stage.

  • Yikes.

  • This is groovy!!!

  • This is rad.

  • his voice is higher than hers

  • Wow....talk about a LONG time ago! Just like me....in their late 40's now...amazing!...

  • Makes ya think where did the time go? But hey ya know what? The kids today are going to be 40 something someday too. and they'll look at vids of teen stars of today thinking back to when they were kids. I still love Kristy and I always will.

  • UMMMMMMAAAA GAY AS HELL

  • ive seen the future of rock n roll and it is kristy mcnichol

  • Hey, look! We've got choreography!

    PUKE!

  • Jimmy is married with 2 children .:) goes to show one cant judge by appearances.

  • As if being married ever stopped anybody....

  • Yeah crushed my boyhood love dream when I found out Kristy was gay.

  • that sure has heck did not help my ego either

  • I don't if that is true, but I wouldn't be shocked if it were. I remember Kristy being a great child actress who NEVER looked feminine. She always had the tomboy look-- never attractive, even though she played romantic roles with boyfriends.

  • I don't agree, she was cute. She was very attractive on Empty Nest

  • Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I let you have this one!  LOL

  • OMG! i LOVED THESE 2! I AM HAVING SEVERE NOSTALGIA RIGHT NOW! I HAD SUCH A CRUSH ON JIMMY!

  • You know.... it's funny, but if you pay attention, you might notice that JIMMY is singing the high parts that sound like a girl, and Kristy is singing the lower "guy" sounding parts.

  • John Travolta would be envious! And judging by his voice, so would the Bee Gees! I think she wanted to be him and he wanted to be like her. When she was very young she looked a little boyish. Anyone attracted to her boy/girl thing well they must be gay as well or bi or whatever. It is no wonder she struggled, Gay was an ugly word back then especially for a girl. Guys hated fags, and anyone not in the 'crowd' was deemed a fag. Funny, how most of these guys actually ended up gay!
  • I'm guessing they didn't spend a lot of time or money on Choreography?

  • Is Kristy really a lesbian? I mean, Jimmy is clearly gay as hell... but Kristy is so damn cute. She can't be gay. Besides, what are the odds that their parents would give birth to TWO gay kids?

  • I'm sure she's gay but I don't think Jimmy is.

  • Yeah... I thought I heard something about Kristy being gay. That's a shame. She used to be pretty cute. Really Cute! Just down right adorable. I've not seen any picts of her in a long time. I wonder what she looks like now and what she's doing.

  • She's as gay as the day is long. Never noticed how gay her brother was though. And I am gay! YIKES!!

  • Well, just so you know... I'm not meaning to imply that there's anything wrong with being gay. I'm just kind of sorry to hear that Kristy is gay. She looks like the kind of girl I'd like to date. I always liked girls who look kind of like her. She's very cute.

    And I find it odd that parents would have two gay kids. Isn't it usually just one kid out of however many parents have? Me, personally, I have 3 siblings and of the 4 of us, only one is gay.

  • he had the vagina and she had the penis

  • LOOOL

    Moron ;-)

  • And each of them had more money than you'll ever hope to accumulate in your lifetime.

  • i think its sorry that people put them down i happen to like her and him both and i feel for her because she had to stop acting there on the show empty nets guess it how u spell it sorry people im new on here and i cany type vey good here with just 1 hand not trying to make any one mad on here at me just thought i give my voice out here to

  • I had this record too.. Jimmy was one of my first big crushes. I actually saw him at a fan event in Florida... he was so cute!! I had no idea at the time .. jus how bad the music was.LOL

  • Why does your career depend on a mostly forgotten video from the 70's?

    I admit it, you got my interest.

  • I think this is a great relic of the past. I am 35 years old...man, I wish I was raised in the 1970s. Kristy was a hotty!! Are you, teacher, at your ripe young age?

  • Wasn't that always the case about sister/brother or husband/wife duos from the 70s? It was usually the sister that's the better vocal singer than the brother or the wife that was the main attraction(Captain and Tenille). Same with Karen Carpenter. She had a better vocal range than her brother, Richard. It was never really about the brothers or the husband.

  • I always liked Kristy. She is much better at singing and dancing than Jimmy. He looks awkward, and I wonder if that high part is really his voice he is lip syncing to?

  • Isn't it kind of weird how Kristie hits the low notes and Jimmy is singing soprano??????

    Whoa.

  • @SkylarBry

    Funny!

    (People can say what they will, but we had FUN in the 70's :)

  • @ricochetrob How so?

  • @cellosareawesome

    I think you had to be there.

  • This is the part of the seventies we try hard not to remember. It hurts to watch.

  • so queer!

  • That. Is. Fucked. Up.

  • jimmy's voice is higher than kristy's

  • I wonder how many hours Jimmy practiced "his moves."

  • evidently not long enough..lol

  • lmao too funny....... but i remember !!

  • Is that a roll of coins or a sock in his packs??????????????? This is so damn funny!

  • Drowning in the Disco title wave of hell

  • She did those 'Sister of the Bride' moves.  She made a appearance last year in LA for 'Pirate Movie.' I missed though cause I wasn't sure who she was at the time.

    Anyway I've heard shes a teacher now.

  • That is funny as hell and scary.

  • It is lip sync. Bring back the late 70s spirit. I simply miss this type of era. The clothing, the hairstyles, the dancing, chereography, etc. It screams 1978 in your face. Love it.

  • WTF??????????????????????

  • The 1st of my 3 girl crushes. Kristy McNichol, Vanessa Marcil and Lucy Liu. Man oh man. lol!

  • she was mine too kristy mcnichol i had it so bad for her lol

  • there dancing is all over the place lol and it looks like jimmy is lip syncing

  • go ahead jimmy!

  • is it me or does the guy sound like a girl ....

  • I had the record, too. It wouldn't surprise me that Jimmy's voice is so high and Kristy's voice is so low since the Bee-Gees were hot and Michael Jackson was big around this time. Notice the times when Jimmy's high voice tries to immitate MJ's vocals a bit? Now, nobody can be the next MJ, but even then, you could sense the popularity of MJ's legacy even in the late 70s. Everybody was copying MJ's vocals, even at this time. Look at Jimmy trying to do a Michael Jackson dance. MJ was influential.

  • does their music exist on CD???

    they're so damn cute

  • I had this record too!!! Most of the songs were 'Meh' but there were a few catchy ones.

  • I had this record. lol!

  • rofl this is great

  • God, this is so cheesy! I'm so glad I didn't stay stuck in this era!

  • The girl sounded like a guy

    And the guy sounded like a girl

    WTF OF THE DAY!!!

  • That is so funny!

    I was thinking the same thing.

  • haahha. love the whole knee lift and point move. hes got great hip movements!

  • hahahahaHaHa. LOVE the knee lift finger move thru out the entire video.

  • Any truth to the rumor Jimmy McNichol is a popular female impersonator named Jimmy James?

  • Forgot to say that I've been looking for the Saturday Morning Preview show (I think it was) they did back in 1980 or 1981. They sang Last Dance, Jimmy did Rock & Roll will never die. Donny Osmond was a guest that day. I had this on audio tape but lost it years ago. :(

  • Cool! Would love to see more of Jimmy/Kristy singing!

  • Mytie I thought you had forgotten lol...thank you soooooooo much for getting this song for me....your a gem<3

  • I can't even thank you enough for posting this! SUCH a part of my growing up, Kristy & Jimmy were & have wanted SO MUCH to have some of their appearances on DVD or even VHS like their Saturday Morning preview special & Hollywood Teen, especially. THIS is the closest I've gotten & I'm so ecstatic I could hug U! ;)
