Jackson would've been proud.
He would have true and of carouse his family
NO HE WONT.. Lol
@@poplifeinctv yeah ok bud
Yeah he definitely would’ve been!!!
Yesir
I thought he looked, sounded, and name familiar. He's FUCKING SEAWEED!!!! He totally deserved this part!
I said the same thing! MJ would be so proud of him 💕💕
Ikr! I thought that too!
Is this Seaweed fella a character from a musical I haven’t heard of?
@@mistervstudios4239 The 2007 film HairSpray.
@@littleboo2002 Oh, okay!
Michael Jackson singing you can’t win always has been my favorite part of the movie the wiz
I always LOVED the puffy orange and white on his outfit and the brown trash bag pants. MJ's somewhere between human and God.
All I could think was “you betta sang seaweed!!” 😂
Same!
Elijah can sing, dance, AND act. Like he does all three exceptionally well lol. This live show was when I was 1st introduced to him, then the NES. I loved that he made this song his OWN. Need to see him in more things!!!
I hope you check him out in the 2007 Hairspray movie, if you haven’t already!
I just read he'll be playing Sammy Davis Jr in a upcoming Hulu series about him
He was fantastic n star
Elijah Kelly was also in RED TAILS, LEE DANIIEL'S THE BUTLER, and STAR.
Wait…the Nintendo Entertainment System?
elijah kelley is one hell of a performer
Go Elijah. Michael's giving you a standing ovation in Heaven.
I wish MJ could see how well he did this 💛
I love u 💓
Amen♥️♥️
The crows cuttin up on this one! This is one of my favorite songs and Elijah did a great preformance.
The choreography give me goosebumps every time. The crows look like they’re having so much fun :)
The crows moves are amazing
This is our first clue about the true intelligence of the Scarecrow: he knows the three laws of thermodynamics.
The scarecrow and the crows were absolutely brilliant 👏🏾
I bet MJ would be proud of him ♥️
I believe the great MJ would be proud..full of joy 💛
You can say that again
“And so you lay back, you smoke that smoke”
“AnD YOu DrINK YA gLASS of WIIIiiiIne”
i remember when this aired & people were so negative about elijah kelley's performance just to say they liked mj's performane better (the same people who said this "wasn't the real wiz" even tho it was a stage musical first). i already knew who kelley was from the hairspray movie, like he is so so talented & did not deserve the backlash he got. he did such a great job!
Mjs version was better to me
@@FlicchikI mean understandable but this young man did his thing as well
Oh yes.
I know Kelley from his small part in Take The Lead with Antonio Banderas, he danced with the very talented Jenna Dewan.
The set was all wrong, it was supposed to be in the ghetto, I don't know what that was, but it was a few generations ago and ghettos definitely don't look like that anymore in fact they're disappearing, but it was good but will never take the place of the original because i.was a teen when that came out and some things aren't as good or never can be good as the original,....TOO ME 😂
How it felt to live through 2020
Especially if your president was Trump
Purrrrrr!
My whole LIFE.
Man…….that was really good. This guy should compete on the Masked Singer.
O that would be awesome
Stepping in the biggest shoes that a guy possibly could do, and he pulls it off spectacularly!
I was skeptical- but he ATE THAT!!!
ain't you ever seen hairspray??
I liked that there is a bit Scarecrow gets off the pole only to get chased and put back by the crows as part of the performance showing how toxic the crows are and how seemingly hopeless it is for Scarecrow
Go head Elijah, singing like boss man and the one and only, Michael Jackson you singing that song how proud are we to hear you pay homage like that makes u, the listeners, very proud go ahead SANG that song
He can SING, dance and act!!! Triple threat at it's finest
Such a great opening, as you see how the scarecrow progressed in his thinking later on. It's never too late to change one's mind or direction in life.
I really love this design for the scarecrow!
I am a super fan of The WIZ. So the the original version is untouchable to me. But congratulations to Elijah Kelley for doing an good job in those shoes.
I feel the same way but this live version definitely holds its own up against the original
I LOVED this when it aired on LIVE TV!! I just kept laughing because ToTo ran off the stage and never made it to Oz. 😂😂
2:06 so you're telling me he can do all that flipping around but can't walk 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
I JUST BUSTED OUT LAUGHING 🤣🤣🤣
He obviously started walking around 1:57…..
@@Hinokami777you clearly didn’t watch the movie
This young man put his all into this. Mike would definitely be proud. These crows are actually better
Im honestly impressed. MJ is smiling down on him
He did a great job. I didn't think no one could ever sing that song other than Michael but he proved me wrong. He kept it the same but also made it his own. I can only imagine how he must have felt when people had to hear it for the first time. Dont worry Sir. It was a job well done. Im sure Michael is smiling down on you with a big thumbs up!
performed the hell outta that!! and he can flip too!! Wonderful!!
the wiz was the best live musical performance and i stand on it
I love MJ and his version is a classic.. But this one takes it for me! Just the passion and soul Elijah has while he’s stuck on the pole.. Plus his ending riffs are stunning 😩 3:11 😩😩😩
Both great by the MJ classic version more soulful more funky Is including his adlibs the rifs And of course the dancing.. Honestly seaweed's version is great and A tribute to Michael's.
this lil dude was good, but Mike sets the bar and no one has touched it yet. You must've not heard Mikes riffs and his ending to the song. Mike is definitely the high standard and don't you forget that.
That’s blasphemy lol
this better den the original
@Jay close but not better than
Yooo the crows SANNNGGG
Bruh killed this, he always been hella talented 🔥🔥🔥💯
The Wiz was one of my favorite musicals growing up. I think this version did a nice job upgrading it for today’s generation with people from today’s world. Amber completely killed her song, Mary did a good job as well as this young man. As someone who saw the original I prefer the sound of the 70’s version with Michael Jackson and Mrs Mabel King’s versions of the songs. They had more soul, these are a little more pop sounding. Nothing wrong with that, now there is an option and people can choose the one they prefer. RIP Michael and Ms Mabel!!!! I think they would be pleased..
It really shows how hard it is to recreate a show that was such a big hit. One of my dance teachers was in the original and said that he lived off the residuals for years. It's the original for me❤
@@saintclaire4897 Yes, nothing like the original version of anything. Must have been so cool to have a teacher in the original. I see why some folks will appear in 1 or 2 hits and step away, they can live off the money, fulfill a dream and leave the Hollywood BS behind….
@@shannondbrown1552 exactly, you said it just right
@@kazkazzie3906 thanks
Marvelous. I love the song, and the singer that played the scarecrow was amazing and the costumes were remarkable, and the stage and background were terrific.
Elijah is so talented, been following his career since i saw him in hairspray when i was a kid
ELIJAH IS GONNA KILL IT AS SAMMY DAVIS! AND HE FAVORS HIM AS WELL 💪🏿
Is there a movie coming out ? omg he def favors him , never paid it any mind
I will say that while I love Jackson's version, the fact that MJ stayed on the pole was a great tragedy. I feel like if the movie let him do the choreography it would have made that movie scene even better.
That would've defeated the purpose.
I can’t wait to see him as Sammy Davis Jr.
Honey he and the this he not play with gimme a a break movie
The costumes are so gorgeous!!
Elijah Kelley did a great job!
Love this number, Elijah Kelly nails the scarecrow role, but I would love to see what Ne-Yo could have done with that role
Congratulations Mr Kelley this was Not an easy task he completely Annihilated this performance and crazy thing is I just watched the real one last week so it’s fresh in my mind and he still blew me Away it’s never easy coming behind MJ and he would’ve been proud and gave his blessing ❤😢🙏🏼💐💐💐💐💐💐
Finally. Thank you for uploading the best song in the musical.
Oh, the crows are great. This choreography is amazing.
He did soooo good. I really enjoyed this when it was on tv
EXCELLENT!! U really not supposed to mess wth Classic Art unless U can do it sum justice or outdo it.. Great Job! 🎩 🎩 🎩
These people are so talented
I love his voice😍💕
The Crows telling Scarecrow that he's stuck is so heartbreaking.
❤️ this was a great representation of old and new school 😍he did a great job with this and the supporting cast carried themselves well👍
Thank you for uploading this. You can't win is my favourite from the musical and Elijah is just awesome.
YOU BETTA GET IT ELIJAH! 🤣🔥🔥🔥🔥 THATS MY PART 1:47
You go dude, you’re a triple threat 🩵🩵🩵
He’s amazing.
Oooo yes! Definitely amazing vocals
Elijah is a born performer you can tell how much he loves it❤️
I love his voice!!! I was there last weekend!!❤
The trap beat was 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bro killed this 🔥🔥🔥
These guys would make Broadway shine.
Love peace & respect to the actresses and actors entertaining; and neat make-up jobs; and beautiful singing voices.↗😘
The crows look a lot cooler and definitely more threatening here than the film
The crows sound good af!!!
I hope the broadcast the whole show again soon!!
It is on Daily Motion.
They both did good on you can’t win song Michael Jackson and Elijah Kelley
You betta sing ELIJAH
This performance pulls on my heart strings🧡 I really felt this performance
I love how, in the stage version of The Wiz, the crows know that Dorothy is there because she is sitting down in front of them whereas, in the film version, the crows don't realize that Dorothy is there until she comes out of hiding.
I just love this ❤️🔥
Elijah Kelly is the best scarecrow in my opinion! I love the OG yes, but cmoooooon!!!!
The birds killin it tho🎉
He did an amazing job they all did 👏👏
I’ve loved Elijah since hairspray
I really want to see this musical with my own eyes.
Ate it up Michael would be proud
I was scrolling through the comments and someone said they thought Chris Brown was the scarecrow 🤭 I'm done 🤣🤣
Yes nowni just need one more song Queen Latifah Yall got it
We need Slide Some Oil To Me too
The only one that rivals MJ’s version
Agreed!
if only because this isnt from the original broadway show
I couldn't agree with you more.
I agree
No. But he's doing an MJ impression. I hated that they did that. This song isn't even in the show. MJ created this vocal rendition for the movie.
This song is crazy when you really listen to the lyrics wow I didn't listen to it back then but now wow how it reflects today's climate
Anything Mike vocals touched it was gold nobody can't touch it
I like him, smooth and Kool!
I loved this performance and he did have to fill some big shoes on this one.
Playing a part the Michael Jackson is no easy feat.
Good job brother💯
I felt seaweed all over from this performance!
the crows flying around on harnesses just take the cake for me. so clever.
a king
I got my tickets to see the wiz at the orpheum in Memphis. So excited🎉🎉🎉🎉 come on july
The Wiz as a kid: this is a fun song!
The Wiz as an adult: oh, this is about racial oppression.
Bro what
@@jabaricambridge405 The whole movie is allegorical to black struggles in America.
@@jabaricambridge405 listen to the lyrics. The crows keep him in the yard, the poppies want to keep you forever, Evileen making the workers work no breaks, no water. It's abt slavery and oppression
@@jabaricambridge405 it's about Jim Crow
@@clarelabellerose it about white racism worldwide
I love this so much
Not a bad impression of a ICONICALLY DONE PERFORFORMANCE. BY THE ONE AND ONLY
He ATE that last line!!!!
elijah such a good singer
I love their wings
Wonderfully done 👍🏻
Man was my fav in hairspray Hey Queen Latifah cool that they both in the same movie
Michael is smiling down right now, great job
This was 🔥 🔥🔥🔥 Elijah rendition of a classic was just as moving. I wouldn't mind watching this version at all. Dope job!!!!
Believe dat shhh alone it’s know good!!!
