Michael Jackson - Live Performance On Soul Train

[jaktre]

Michael Jackson had a sprained ankle but didn't want to cancel soul train because of his love and respect for Don Cornelius! And in a chair he did more than most using the whole stage :)

[mjforever30]

i luv u michael. R.I.P

[scarletngold]

Mike was so BAD!

[tavmedia]

You've gotta love Mike. Who else can do a performance sitting down and people still chanting your name? Love it :)

[Kell1295]

[blueroket94]

is he glued to the chair, or did some of his plastic melt and adhere him to it?

[Lillystudios]

@blueroket94 He hurt his leg during rehersal

[MegaTommy1957]

[ZiggyTV1]

[MJ1992KingofPop]

He looks like he recorded the music video the same day.

[CynthiaMarrufo]

wrong one sorry

[CynthiaMarrufo]

I made a video. With the same song. Please go look.

[missycah1]

People don't hate the man, he was brilliant. People wanted to bring him down with nonsense. He wasn't a pedophile, he wanted kids to have a chance at fun while they were yet young enough to enjoy it without the trappings of age. Grown folks turn so many good things dirty, and look for a fast pay day. No matter the damage or harm caused. RIP MJJ, love you still. I love the way he looks here.

[MJ1992KingofPop]

@jeyvonn sprained ankle

[MsMelsk]

I love MJ :D <3 I read in a book called The Magic and the Madness (about MJ) that this was a publicity stunt. xx

[PrincessSydney09]

@MsMelsk I read the same book for class. It's so true

[MsMelsk]

@PrincessSydney09 cool, i wish i had to read this for class, i asked to once and wasn't allowed XD xx

[cutiepie101566]

Only MJ could have a video with no dislikes RIP love

[LoveMJ070798]

What's wrong with his legs??????

Awww poor baby want's to dance lol

[MJ1992KingofPop]

@LoveMJ070798 Sprained ankle

[LoveMJ070798]

@MJ1992KingofPop OOOOH THAT WOULD suck

[cha53z]

his dying just sitting there he so wants to get up and dance... awww poor mikey

[blackistheword7]

@SyrenniaLestrange amen!

[VonSchlerrgenberger]

i apologize for not responding quicker to you. however, Michael Jackson really never believed in advocacy for things of such nature. that's not to say he didn't care, its more to do with not creating a market where there were empty promises of a cure. also to not be used in the forefront of treatments that were either too costly to others, or with side effects. why be used to wrongfully elevate your image? during his time he became the single greatest humanitarian without bragging about it.

[ExtraChocolate80]

Such conservative times, no one is showing skin in their Egyptian costumes.

Remember the Time and Keep It In the Closet were the most sexually charged songs MJ has ever sung.

[SAMANTHAA8383]

would you please stop complaining about the plastic surgery and all that crap, let man rest in peace

[N1CKLBACK]

For those of you that dont know, the whole "broken foot" sitting on chair was all a publicity stunt by MJ

[blackistheword7]

@N1CKLBACK ok wht would have he gotten from that hes mj,no need for that . the man could just stand there and people would go off. i mean im still goin crazy now and hes passed away

[N1CKLBACK]

@blackistheword7 exactly. the whole point is he's sitting there and people are still going crazy. just goes to show doesnt it. but as far as i know his leg was fine and the sitting down was just part of the act of the performance

[averqueveohoy]

monster, gay and pederast

[200damary]

@averqueveohoy fat ass go eat

[sierria64]

@SyrenniaLestrange joe should have his ass beat

[jkool20]

They guys in a chair with a broken foot and yet people are screamin. :)

[VonSchlerrgenberger]

forgive the double post. lol

[VonSchlerrgenberger]

people please wake up. it seems, that looking at some of these comments, there are still an awful lot that still buy into the 'michael is changing his image' for a non-black look. he suffered from vitiligo and lupus. dont let mainstream media fool you, do more research. he made monumental adjustments to cope with this, so he wouldnt look freakish or frightening. i had a friend who suffered from the same thing. please oh please dont believe the hype.

[doobiedoo74]

@VonSchlerrgenberger well said and also his brothers also had white patches on their skin..remember the truth and not the lies. the good for humanity he did so much yet america did so little. peace out michael

[fishhed01]

@VonSchlerrgenberger why didnt michael jackson,if he had vitiligo,just come out and be an advocate for it,instead of trying to hide?he could have been inspirational for all the people who actually have it and have to live day to day,but instead " made monumental adjustments to cope with this, so he wouldnt look freakish or frightening",to be honest, and i know a thousand fans will jump on this,but what he did to his face was way more freakish than vitiligo

[VonSchlerrgenberger]

[nmusiccentral]

wow he is fabulous even sitting in a chair..Another great performance

[yamadakunn1]

スゴクかっこ良かってです！！

COOI

[musemom2]

Someof you are too young to know that Michael had a stress fracture in his foot at the time of this taping, which is why he was "chair" dancing.

[ukpkmkk]

lol he didnt even have a mic.

[KSitz77]

Well, I am a huge MJ fan but I think he should have not done the chair act. Sorry, it just didn't FEEL right to even watch it. How can you see MJ perform without the dance. Just not right.

[littlefingers]

He looks so gorgeous here!!!

[wreepeet]

Im still waiting on your response to the king of tots comment?

[wreepeet]

misfrancis09 you getting too carried away, michael wasn't really that good looking in fact he changed his appearence to look white , don't get me wrong i like MJ too but after the king of pop turned into the king of tots it really turned me off,

[ebere15]

@wreepeet michael is very hansome u piss me off!

[wreepeet]

@ebere15 well, he may be handsome to you if that whats you consider handsome. I gues now a days the closer you look with a light complexion and straight hair you are considered good looking is that what you saying? Waht about the king of tots comment, seem like you would have been more upset about that than the other comment.

[ebere15]

@wreepeet thats not what im saying, and and get your info straight michael had curly hair. he had vitaligo and had to bleach his skin to make it even toned. People like u focous on the stupid things than the true fact, he was an amazing artist.

[wreepeet]

@ebere15 You don't really beleive that about the vitaligo do you ? Well if you do ,i have a bridge in Brooklyn i want to sell you . Because of all the years that Mike has been in the business , and as nosey as the press and pops are why didn't it come out , the only time it came out is out of Michaels mouth. and i don't beleive it one bit . you are just in denial. and his hair got burned out in a pepsi commercial,and his hair before that was as nappy as mine.

[ebere15]

@wreepeet obviously u dont pay attention because it was discussed in the media. and there are pictures of him back in the day performing with the patches on his neck and hands. And he had his hair was not nappy he had jerry curls. you are un informed and ignorant do your research before u agrue with me.

[do123able]

@wreepeet Gee it would be nice if we could see if his hair was as nappy as yours but we can't since you did not put your picture on your profile lol. for all we know you could be white and not from bleaching. Also the M.E stated that he did have Vitiligo. As to your king of tots statement since you seem to want someone to respond to it. It was lame and not even funny in comedic way. Strange that with the FBI following him for over 10 years that they never found any evidence of such behavior.

[wreepeet]

@do123able well, normally iwouldn't respond to such statements as you have said but i feel you put too much trust in the media , wake up and smell the coffee no im black and third , i was addressing ebere15 and misfrancis09 you sound a bit too young for me to engage in this conversation , so take a bit of advice and learn the ABC's of a conversation . Have a nice day!

[do123able]

@wreepeet So I butted into your conversation, sorry. But it seems to me that it is you that believes the media. Since you implied in your post that it was not true about the vitiligo because the media did not report on it but it was from the horses mouth that is to say MJ's Mouth. There were a lot of things that the media did not report on about MJ esp. if it was good or would show him innocent of certain charges. And you are wrong about me to so i question your assessments about MJ. also

[rocknroll773]

@wreepeet Nope, I do not believe that vitaligo excuse. Michael and I are the same age and I also was on the seen when the J5 first came out. I have never seen any skin discoloration on him. All I saw was that he gradually got lighter and lighter. And what's funny is that Mrs. Jackson said on this last Ophra Winfrey interview that Michael only treated his face, arms, hands and legs for this. And that the rest of his body still had spots.

[wreepeet]

@rocknroll773 I agree, and then he stared whittleing away at his nose to make it look more none black , and look how he did his hair after all look at his kids.....? Latoya went and bleached herself out too............

[rocknroll773]

@wreepeet When in fact, that's not true, because in Michael's video with him and LMP, You're not alone, he is not wearing anything but a little small towel and his entire body is white. So, maybe his mom did not see that video which makes her out to be not telling the truth.

[wreepeet]

@ebere15 remember i saw Michael when he first hit the scene!

[KSitz77]

@wreepeet i saw Michael when he first hit the scene too, and yes his hair was nappy long before all the brothers got the jerry curls. Is this teenager really arguing that he knows more about this than you? Unbelievable. MJ fan here BTW so plz no one blast me.

[misfrancis09]

@SyrenniaLestrange fuck all who ever made my MICHAEL CRY!

[misfrancis09]

MICHAEL KNOW HE WAS A PIMP! ONLY HE CAN JAM IN A CHAIR AND LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL WHILE DOING IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[katrinawyne]

I am glad god took Michael so he doesn't see what is happening in the world he loved so much. We have lost a true humanitarian. He is one of gods beautiful angels for eternity. There will never be another.

[cableaddict]

"Live Performance?" 

[LEAHCIM829]

MJ, I love you sooooooo freaking much. R.I.P and God bless your soul:)

[bobbythorson]

wheres the mic?

[privatei2020]

@SyrenniaLestrange I could not have said it better.

[12LHayes]

I miss you Michael and will keep you deep in my heart. I have this on tape (a part of my massive mj video collection)RIP you would've been proud of Chris Brown paying homage 2u the way its finally suppose to be done lastnight (6./27/10) on the BET awards.

[TheHappybarbie]

@SyrenniaLestrange  right on. good words. i would seed the same thing

[tayboggie56]

man,if only he didont hurt himself..cus as far as i kno this is the only live version ever of remeber the time.he had planned to do it in the dangerous tour but took it out of the show list.

[zoetra1]

I love this performance. Even in pain he would do anything for his fans.

[iBeLiEvEYhU]

ONLY Michael Jackson Could ROCK THE SHOW By Sitting In a Chair The Whole Time ...Thats Hott

[anthonyd3903]

even sat in a chair he owned the whole stage, audience, the world.....end of!!!

[rockdiva888]

Any time someone can ROCK IT OUT sitting down...DESERVES TO REIGN FOREVER!!!!!!!! Can't nobody TOUCH That!

[MEYOROCKS]

sadly michael!!

pain in the leg!!!

[SinisterSerinity116]

That's what i call amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The man can make the audience go wild just by dancing in a chair.

But i know what kind of pain Michael was going through, i fractured my ankle and it hurt like hell

[Gabriellerome]

yea Unc.M def wanted to get up off dat chair..lmbo

[MisssDevyn456]

@mjisawesome89 He said that he sprained his ankle during a rehersal, but in fact it was just a publicity stunt. His ankle was completely fine. I'm not trying to be mean cause I'm one of the biggest MJ fans everrr, but it's true. Read J. Randy Taraborelli's book, it tells EVERTHING(:

[mizzsri]

@MisssDevyn456

really?mj did really look hurt...if you look closely,mj didnt really move his right leg...mj even couldnt stand up straight at the end of the performance...i guess i have to reread the Taraborelli's book

[npmegan]

@MisssDevyn456 So you trust a book more than the pain in MJs eyes? Interesting...You wouldnt really make THAT face if it was fake.

[MisssDevyn456]

@npmegan hah mmkayy rude much?

[MisssDevyn456]

@npmegan I said I wasnt' trying to be rude, so you don't really need to be rude back. I don't know this for sure, I'll I know is that that book is proven to have everything correct. He might be hurt and he might not. Nobody, except the people clossest to him, will ever know for sure.

[npmegan]

@MisssDevyn456 I wasnt rude, just expressing my opinion, that` s all. Everyone has the right to express themselves, right? :) No offense.

[jeledi23]

why couldn't he dance???

[FreshAziMiz84]

What Person Do You Know in The Music Industry Can Sit Down Look Great And Still Give Me A Show......Michael Jackson!!!! I Was Sitting Here Watching Laughing Cause It Was So Nice Watching Him Do His Thang In A Chair....GET IT Mike! R.I.P

[Pamelody]

How sweeeeet is this video. You know that he is just dying to jump out of that chair and dance. I love it and I love him. This was awesome. Also, I agree totally with SyrenniaLestrange's comment. God bless you Michael.

[Miessiemmmm]

Aaahw poor Michael =( He wanted to dance so badly, but he couldn't =( But I think it's great that he still gives a good show! Well done Michael!...(L)

[gabri2889]

only Michael Jackson can sit down while performing and still get it in...I LOVE HIM!

[sactiger]

Wow, u can tell the beat was making him crazy, and he just wanted to get outta that chair and BUST IT!! :)

[macriff72]

@sactiger

yea dude .dat ni@#a wanted to get out of that seat.

[THAGENERAL313]

he even killed it sitting down

[AnaNord]

I am a huge Michael Jackson fan, but how is this LIVE performance? It's playback. I love this video, but do not misinform the fans.

[kendamn1]

he still does a good job sitting down he so wanted to dance MJ love u

[maruto619]

it was funny when he gets up but then he sits back down on the chair.y was he sitting?

[cassiezheng1983]

[JoOrg33]

lokazooooooooooooooooooooooooo­

[moyrum]

this performance maes me laugh so much, u can just see the way mike wants to burst out of the chair n start dancing. a few times he gets up n then sits down, he probs remembers ohhhh i av to stay seated loling!!!!

[alicecullenrox8]

LOL! Its so funny! He jumps up about to dance then he otices "Oh my foot hurts! I need to sit!" lol! So cute!

[megajdancer]

how did he get a sprain ankle?

[EarthSong11]

do you remember the time oh baby how can i forget??? i love you so muchhh

[EmilyMJRose]

poor baby he wanted to get up and dance so badly you can tell. well even though he sat there the whole time he gave off more energy than the backup dancers combined he always had that about him. his presence just made everything light up.

[getuwet12]

this is my favorite song from him

[surfer53]

What gets me is the negativity of many people around this man. Last I checked, this man was never convicted of any crime, despite what tabloids argue. We simply don't know what happened in '93 or '04. All we can do here is speculate and if it's proven he WAS innocent, we all look like spiteful human beings with no soul.

So what DO we know? Mike was a great performer, perhaps the best entertainer of all time and a genius songwriter who changed the face of modern music.

[j4o1e6]

LOVE YOU MJ ALWAYS

[samOanBBY1]

Aww Omg you could tell that he wanted to justt get up and dancee, Poo MJ I didnt know he had a sprain ankle, but yet he still manages to look Sexc ! Ahh his soo HOTT !

[draivableCj]
