Funny thing. The J5 turned this song down...

ah the good old days when we didn't notice the cords missing from the guitars and didn't realize that they were lip-synching. :)

@ktheintz you make a great point. I wouldn't say it is a "virtual carbon copy" of I want you back, but they certainly are similar..and they both went to #1 so that is cool.

@iammajorpowers please, they were a barbershop quartet type of vocal group before the J5 came along (cf the Andy Williams Christmas shows), and were hastily retooled in the wake of the Jacksons' breakout. "One Bad Apple" is a virtual carbon copy of "I Want You Back".

the osmonds couldn't have been a copy of the jackson 5 since they were a band before the jacksons..they were just boy bands with identical styles..longevity wise, mike was better than donny i agree..proof is in his hits..but donny had a better childhood and actually turned out pretty normal..poor michael..no fault of his own really..donny got trapped into a boy who couldn't transform in the 70s and 80s..hollywood was done with him ..great video.

@ernest747 Good point about autotune, but obviously they are lip-synching this video: no instrument close-ups, no chords into guitars, no mics or amps. So, even then, there was cheating.

Bieber is current, auto-tuned bitch with no class and no talent.

Those are the great 1970s and Donny singing without any fuckin' autotune and any provocative girls surrounding him.

The Jackson 5 turned this song down. Donny turned down Ben.
