This breaks me down. So much REAL talent. No auto tune, lip synching, takes and retakes, just real undeniable talent. Michael’s exceptional genius was already starting to show through
And this is what I’ve always wondered about. This was mostly their dad being abusive to get them to this point, but at the same time they wouldn’t be who they ended up being if he wasn’t.
Sometimes they lip-synced, sometimes they didn't. They might be singing for real here, but you can find videos from the same point in their career where they're lip-syncing on other TV shows. Even Michael Jackson in his solo career wasn't above lip-syncing. You could see him lip-syncing at the Super Bowl, and he lip-synced at the Jacksons anniversary show when he 'sang' "Beat It".
back in the day, cameramen/directors didn't focus on the right things by modern standards. It's just the way it was. That's why they never focused on the cording but the strumming
Here's some real good insider secrets for ya!====> Shh... Fake named "son" code, M. Jack-"son" is and always has been a 100% naturally born female! Mj also is not dead. Shh... Those are all 666, orange+hormone "T" infested females on that side show stage including the host, fake named "son" code J. Car-"son"! In "g"od the Baphosite/Parasites trust! Shh... The worldwide masses+all of them have been had by the most low on a massive scale!
Not quite, there is something funny with Michael's mike from 2:00 on. It's unlikely that someone was moving the fader precisely just at that moment, or that he was fake singing - probably Michael's voice was dubbed by him right after the show.
Great performance, and it sounds like every one of them had a mic that went live for parts and was mixed or replaced with pre-recorded backing tracks for other parts. All the vocals seem more live than the instruments. Woulda loved to hear them play it 100% live (with the keyboardist doing the horns).
I feel like that’s the Motown finishing school and Joe. Both were hard ass professionals and would accept no less. The only people I can think of that were this tough show biz-wise were Prince and James Brown.
His voice was changing, he had to sing a little lower. So glad I was able to witness them and so many other R&B and Funk groups, real singers and musicians.
MJ was always the star. He was mesmerizing to watch. The camera man did all of us an injustice when Mike started his solo but then the camera zoomed in on Randy on the drums.
This must've been one of Jermaine's last tv appearances with the "5". They are so tight, from the count in through to breakdown, just magic. Any other tv appearances are just playback, this is peak Jackson.
That was actually a part of the act. It was to seem shocked to see a 'robot' come to life, in which, thanks to MJ, it really did come to life. MJ single handedly gave life and Soul to the robot. It's an old dance that predates them, but J5 via Dancing Machine made it a soulful dance forever. Peace!
Tito and Jermaine were underrated. The whole group was. Michael was beyond any era to this day. I saw them, as a kid, in real time. We knew they were a phenomenon but did not know, now in hindsight, how really gifted and historically relevant the J5 would be and are! I am still dazzled by them after more than 50 years!! I love those fellows as my Brothers and friends!!
Michael was around for a long time. Can you imagine Prince watching this? He grew up listening to the man that would become his musical rival in the 80's. Prince was devasted when Michael died, just like we were devasted when he died and for some of the same reasons; respect and appreciation.
@@zorro1955 If I didn't know what?? Can you clarify your question? Do you have the basic intelligience that it takes to articulate dialogue within a conversation that does not result in a weak game of name calling!
Narvelan Coleman - dude, you’re sounding like you’re suffering from pms. Are you on your peroid ot something? You never answered my question yet, still waiting trump
I had a very impressive afro and I simply loved MJ. He was my idol as a child and remained one his whole life, but when I look back at pictures of my with my fro and my MJ jacket, the first thing I think of is who is the white kid with the blonde afro? Then I wax nostalgic about what that man meant to me and still means so much to me today. I am now bald, as well.
This was an interesting portion of Michael's career. His voice had fully changed during that 1974 period and he had to musically embrace and grow into his entirely new vocal tone. That is NOT easy for a 15-16 year old young man to do.
It’s not. My son can sing and up until 13 he had a very high pitched voice. Overnight he began sounding like a grown man. It almost discouraged him from singing until he eventually learned to grow into his voice
I know you might not think of this but he had four older brothers who went through the same thing recently themselves. I think only seven years separated Jackie the oldest from Michael the youngest of the original group.
I remember getting excited when we knew the Jackson 5 was going to appear on TV!! My mom would let us stay up late to watch them! My whole family were and always be huge fans of this amazing family!!
@@sarge6870 they were on tv to perform, so that’s whats relevant. No one’s family is perfect and there’s probably plenty of skeletons in your own familial closet.
He literally influenced every entertainer that came after him. You have to reference Mike to demonstrate the level you are trying to get to within that world! 💯💪🏽
He was so naturally precise with all of his dance movements. He added that extra shoulder shake, that precise angle of a bent knee, the spins that stated and stopped perfectly. The way he kicked his feet up and behind him exactly the same on each side. He was a master of his craft from the time he was in grade school.
I agree that he has been a big influence but I am old enough to watch him and see the person that most influenced MJ, his "idol", James Brown, shining through a bit in MJ's onstage performance. To fully understand young MJ's performance here watch a video of James Brown performing live and you'll see the evolution.
He was definitely born with it but at the same time Motown had a lot of a & A&R's in artist development back then. Berry Gordy was really big on is artists having a lot of stage presence.
This is my absolute favorite iteration of this song... The Jacksons' strings sound so funky here and the Carson orchestra's horn section is totally on point here. Beautiful!
Watch at.3:44 when MJ drops back in line when he starts doing his dancing , he then spins, kicks and at 3;58 gets in sync with Jackie and Marlon that\s from practice equals PERFECTION! WOW!!!
Just watching them makes me want to get up and dance along with them! They truly Loved doing what they were born to do...entertain! They weren't just another group of singers, they were Entertainers! Love me some Jacksons!!
They were beaten and abused, forced to entertain instead of being normal children. They were denied childhoods and suffer from PTSD and other disorders. Why do you pretend they loved doing this? They smiled because they had to, not because they wanted to.
I agree Diane, I think they loved it. To be that good at ANYTHING is a feeling not many get to enjoy. Their father may have been harsh, but he set them up for life and kept them off the streets. Blessings to all of them and thanks for the joy and excitement they brought to so many others.
It's 2023, and I'm looking at these videos and in parallel at the video This is it, and my heart bleeds, it hurts so much to understand that we will no longer see Michael's smile, in which happiness and joy are read. I was born 2 years after Michael's death, it hurts to realize that you won't be able to see him, hear his voice, and now you can only see it on UA-cam and on TV, it's very painful, it's unbearably painful. He will always remain in our hearts. I am writing this through tears of pain because you will never see him again. To this day, he is the best singer, NO ONE can compare with Michael. Almost 15 years have passed since his death, and he is still remembered, loved and mourned for his death. He left too soon, but I believe he's alive. Michael, we love you, soft clouds for you, you were too kind to our world, our world was not worthy of you, Michael. I am sure that right now you are looking at us with God. Pleasant dreams, soft clouds to you ❤😖😭💗
You can tell Michael was born to dance. No one moves like him. He was doing some of his signature moves since little❤️ His singing while moving like that, doesn’t miss a note 😍
The moves, the groove, the beat, so entertaining. The Jackson Family were brilliant. Musicians out there, watch and learn, this is what we want to see!!!!!
Man he could dance! Saw him on his Bad Tour in Houston,Texas he was simply incredible. Will never forget it. Only went because my girlfriend wanted to go. I said sure let’s go. Glad I did! Was blown away.
I've met many people who said that they went to an MJ concert just to accompany someone and end up saying that it was the best concert that they had ever attended.
So many memories growing up with them. I always loved watching them and I remember when MJ did the robot back then and I thought that was the coolest thing I’d ever seen.
He was a master showman even at that age. Back then, performers had to deal with the microphone cord. Anyone else would be all tangled up with all of those spins!
True I had dance classes at school and I’ve learned the ABC dance and Stop ten love you save . And I always wonder will I be good like Micheal but that’s possible Micheal will always be the best of the best he’s my idol ❤️ R.I.P King of Pop
Absolutely phenomenal! They could've taught Masterclasses on performing live. The clothes,the afros, Jermaine's press & curl & then they're playing instruments while dancing & singing! ❤️
I had one of their posters on my wall when I was a kid. Probably a year or two before this. I dug their hair, outfits, everything. The 70s were so great!!!!
@@lordukiyo6175 He watched dances and dancers in the black communities and incorporated the latest moves in his acts. Dance is endemic to Black America. Soul Train showcased that fact. Whether it was in Chicago or LA, black kids constantly dance and create new moves.
The Jackson 5/The Jacksons really gave some slick performances. They had it all, great music, looks, stylish moves and clothes. Very cool. Many shows I'm watching for the first time, but they're very rewatchable, and you get to enjoy the details even more over time.
I know, right? Michael just breaks into his dance solo and the camera closes in on the BONGO PLAYER! For like ten seconds and misses the best part of Jacko's routine!
This breaks me down. So much REAL talent. No auto tune, lip synching, takes and retakes, just real undeniable talent. Michael’s exceptional genius was already starting to show through
Gosh, even before the 70s, he acted like a veteran singer. Even as a child, the talent he had was just astounding.
And this is what I’ve always wondered about. This was mostly their dad being abusive to get them to this point, but at the same time they wouldn’t be who they ended up being if he wasn’t.
Their father beat them if they made a mistake. Of course they were perfect.
Sometimes they lip-synced, sometimes they didn't. They might be singing for real here, but you can find videos from the same point in their career where they're lip-syncing on other TV shows. Even Michael Jackson in his solo career wasn't above lip-syncing. You could see him lip-syncing at the Super Bowl, and he lip-synced at the Jacksons anniversary show when he 'sang' "Beat It".
no auto tune, no lip syncing, just one man forcing his kids to perform and beating the shite out of them whenever they made a little mistake :/
This song is still alive in 2024 🌹
MJ’s dancing can never be topped 😮💨
I'll never get over the fact that the camera switched "away" from Michael during the robot dance.
I still watch it every now and again hoping the edit would be different 🤦🏾♂️😂
@@JayEss2k LOL, same bro!
I was thinking the exact same thing!
I blame the editor for that!
back in the day, cameramen/directors didn't focus on the right things by modern standards. It's just the way it was. That's why they never focused on the cording but the strumming
It's kinda crazy that even a teenage Michael Jackson got more stage presence and can easily outperform Pop artists we have nowadays 😭

Never, will there ever be this kind of talent, ever, we are lucky we have these memories to watch anytime we want❤️❤️❤️❤️
God was showing off when he made MJ
@@tyresebiggar1772 yes he was ❤️
He not only outperforms them, he moonwalks circles around them lol
One of Michael's greatest talents: spinning round without tripping over the mic cord
You bet not trip over the mic cord.... Joe Jackson lol
Michael was the better one
So true.🙂
It's really impressive! Nice outfits, too.
F. Jones 😂😂😂shouldn’t be laughing
Can we all just appreciate that they are not lip syncing, they are actually playing and performing this live in real time.😄
Not quite, there is something funny with Michael's mike from 2:00 on. It's unlikely that someone was moving the fader precisely just at that moment, or that he was fake singing - probably Michael's voice was dubbed by him right after the show.
@@rivkajazz The horn section could have been from the Tonight Show Band.
@@digital2500 not likely.
Great performance, and it sounds like every one of them had a mic that went live for parts and was mixed or replaced with pre-recorded backing tracks for other parts. All the vocals seem more live than the instruments. Woulda loved to hear them play it 100% live (with the keyboardist doing the horns).
*I use to be in show business and what the Jackson's just did was called dropping the hat.*
The fact that he can be dancing on his own groove then completely switching it back up to be on the same coordinates as his brothers is real talent 💯
It's called rehearsal, do it, again, again, now one more, start over, again, again...
I feel like that’s the Motown finishing school and Joe. Both were hard ass professionals and would accept no less. The only people I can think of that were this tough show biz-wise were Prince and James Brown.
I about to say the same thing 😮
true crazy
I think MJ worked real hard on his dancing that his movements became second nature to him. Any beat automatically drives a move inside of him.
Johnny Carson was blown away -- he knew when he was seeing something iconic -- and Carson was very hard to impress.
Appreciate what you're watching. You'll never again see this kind of perfection from a musical group.
Exactly. I am sorry that childhood WAS so bad for Mike, though.
@@silverstuff182 for almost of them not just mike
Thank you Jesus! 🙏🏽
@guest, I know THAT'S RIGHT.
WORD!
I love how his voice is a mixture of his childhood voice and his adult voice here, it's so interesting to hear.❤
Barry Gibb can switch from his regular singing voice to his famous falsetto within a second.
Only 16 teen
Only six
Puberty
His voice was changing, he had to sing a little lower. So glad I was able to witness them and so many other R&B and Funk groups, real singers and musicians.
Michael Jackson is a gift to the world from God
Michael's dancing is unbelievable
Yeah, too bad we couldn't see it due to Randy's fascinating bongo solo. lol
@@franceswalker2627 🤣🤣😂😂😂😅😅
Beyond belief Christina , otherworldly
Singing while dancing . . . not missing any beats while spinning 2-3 times in a row . . . whoa.
Y, and by this time, he'd really started to develop his own style. For the early J5 stuff, he just did all of of James Brown's moves.
Did anybody notice how he got tangled in the mic cord and untangled himself while not missing a beat??? DAMN!!!! RIP TO THE KING OF POP!!!
Well he is Michael Jackson.. I’d expect no less than perfection
@@ApolloSniperman facts😂😂
Good thing we have wireless.
I can't find the Tangled Cord Part. What number is it at? Thanks
Timestamp please
Ok so do anybody else watch old videos of Micheal with his brothers😂😂😂 and do anyone else see how much happier he is on stage with his brothers 💯💯💯
Meee😂❤
In 10 years he will be the biggest STAR the world has ever known.
make it 9. 1983. but I get your point.
MJ: Does the robot
Cameraman: Hey look at those cool bongos!
Damn the bongos!!!! You're fired!!!
Randy: I shouldn’t exist and he will put the spot on the robot
ethan miller congrats on feeling smart buddy
Cameron Rogers cape here to say this. Crime against humanity there
It's not a camera man fault, it's a broadcast director's fault :) He changes a picture at this moment)
Mike was the real dancing machine. He was nice with it
even way back in the 70,s they were soooo good.. way before there time.
Very fine performance. It felt real, human. No lip-syncing. No autotune. Real talent.
No lip syncing , no pre-recorded tracks just pure and raw talent you don't see any of those nowadays
The only person I have in mind that does live music nowadays, is Bruno Mars
MJ was always the star. He was mesmerizing to watch. The camera man did all of us an injustice when Mike started his solo but then the camera zoomed in on Randy on the drums.
This was NOT on any of the camera men, I think this was the director's fault.
I noticed the same thing. Why on earth would they move the camera away from Michael during his amazing solo performance?
@@popcorn3149 I didn't know that any of the camera men could teleport.
I love Michael, but that’s very disrespectful to Randy.
is that why randy paused and was like what the fuck?
THIS IS MUSIC! No gimmick, no tricks, just natural talent!
This must've been one of Jermaine's last tv appearances with the "5".
They are so tight, from the count in through to breakdown, just magic.
Any other tv appearances are just playback, this is peak Jackson.
Randy’s face at 1:44 had me dying!!! Micheal must have hit a smooth move on him… couldn’t even finish playing 🤣
"I knew it..." he whispers to himself
I just noticed that 😆
Yeah, I saw that he was like in shock that his brother could move that smooth, and later on millions around the world would feel the same way. Lmao
That was actually a part of the act. It was to seem shocked to see a 'robot' come to life, in which, thanks to MJ, it really did come to life. MJ single handedly gave life and Soul to the robot. It's an old dance that predates them, but J5 via Dancing Machine made it a soulful dance forever. Peace!
I sway he stopped and looked at MJ
Michael Jackson was pure talent, so sad he's gone.
Rest in paradise Mike 🙏

@@dennismcdonald4505 witch show were u at
It's crazy to see that MJ's moves is too advance for the 70's.. It's like the dance steps are from the future and so is MJ..
He was influenced by James Brown.. if you watch any James Brown performances, you can see how Mj mirrored him along with developing his own style
The dancing looks very appropriate to the time period.
There wasn't too advanced for the 70s what are u talking about young folks were coming out with new dances every month
@@TaureanRuler Jermaine wearing the James Brown wig though, must have been influenced by James also.
This goes all the way back to Cab Calloway in the 1920s.

He literally influenced every entertainer that came after him. You have to reference Mike to demonstrate the level you are trying to get to within that world! 💯💪🏽

The way he kicked his feet up and behind him exactly the same on each side. He was a master of his craft from the time he was in grade school.
Today all pop artist worldwide, (male or female) regardless of race try to sing in the same key as Michael Jackson.

Live, NO lip syncing. That's how it's done
Steve Holstein - bout time huh😬🍺👍
Been s long time I a Jackson5 fan check out
Played thier own instruments too!
I love the original sound on the record, but live concerts are aittle different
AND .....you had to be able to dance.
Michael was a dancing Machine.💯
That is just funky and tight as hell. Performed live. Not a lot of artist today can do that.
*Those " good ole days* "
*With CLEAN lyrics and real instruments played* 🥺
How on Earth does a 15-year old have such amazing stage presence ?????
had it when he was 6
He was born with it
He was definitely born with it but at the same time Motown had a lot of a & A&R's in artist development back then. Berry Gordy was really big on is artists having a lot of stage presence.
God gifted !
Many many ass whippings by Joe 😂🤣😅
Raw talent in it's purest form
This is my absolute favorite iteration of this song... The Jacksons' strings sound so funky here and the Carson orchestra's horn section is totally on point here. Beautiful!
They are the definition of professionalism!
"There goes Michael Jackson and them boys!"
Great live performance. The horns section really make that 70s sound.
That's not just "a horn section". That's the Doc Severinson Tonight Show Band backing up MJ +J5
This is what NO autotune looks and sounds like. Carry on.
Michael Jackson was always the best because he also was full of truth, pureness and innocent good pasion. Greatest artist amd human beign.
I miss those days. Raw talent, great singing, live music , real instruments, clean dance moves!!!!!
Talent oozing out of every inch of his body! There never was nor will there ever be, anyone as talented as Michael Jackson......PERIOD
Truth Indeed AMEN
This song will never get old I don't care what year we are in timeless music at it's best
Love it
I’ve watched this one several times and I swear I see an expression of pride from Johnny Carson at the end.
They killed it every time the Jackson's and Elvis ,ruled the Vegas strip for years.
oh my god michael doing the robot would've been the coolest shit ever!
fucking producers man...
It was, nobody had the guts to do that move on TV viewed by millions. He did it again later on soul train.....
In my opinion, the best moment of the Jackson 5, dance steps, voicings, harmonies.
Yes I also feel that as well.
And of course the instrumentals
@@eaqua56 Yeah they're off the charts some of the best ever

Can we just take a moment and acknowledge MJ's voice?!? I mean at every faze it was incredible. That is so rare. True talent!!! 🙌 #MJ#TheGOAT
it stand out
YES. We can.
Still doesn't get the credit for the vocals. Apart from everything else, he was such a bloody great vocalist from day one to the end.

@@selrojas6346 You must be very blind and stupid to say that....
That's how some of you also go about saying Elvis can dance
@@mrcollins9120 No. Ray Charles was the blind guy. And the stupid one is the one you see in the mirror every fucking morning bitch.
The moves, the groove, the beat, so entertaining. The Jackson Family were brilliant. Musicians out there, watch and learn, this is what we want to see!!!!!
Ain’t happening because they can’t do it.
Man he could dance! Saw him on his Bad Tour in Houston,Texas he was simply incredible. Will never forget it. Only went because my girlfriend wanted to go. I said sure let’s go. Glad I did! Was blown away.
I've met many people who said that they went to an MJ concert just to accompany someone and end up saying that it was the best concert that they had ever attended.
So many memories growing up with them. I always loved watching them and I remember when MJ did the robot back then and I thought that was the coolest thing I’d ever seen.
Forever unforgettable memories of them.... Hello... How are you doing.
Cameraman fired on the spot.
@@illegitimatefilm It's the camera director's fault in moments like this for sure
Ha! They had one job.
editor* there are several cameras with cameramen
Wow Michael so much more popular then the brothers just why the brothers need more credit
This was white america TV, so J5 was not like by white folks a lot and they were still of black culture. He was still Soul/R&B.
Gave me chills. They were a dynamic group and seeing a young Michael with those fantastic moves and voice, just WOW!
He was a master showman even at that age. Back then, performers had to deal with the microphone cord. Anyone else would be all tangled up with all of those spins!
Does anyone else look at Michael and wonder, "How the f*ck is it possible to be that talented?"
Asé
True I had dance classes at school and I’ve learned the ABC dance and Stop ten love you save . And I always wonder will I be good like Micheal but that’s possible Micheal will always be the best of the best he’s my idol ❤️ R.I.P King of Pop
Bc of Joe
Notice how they all bow to show gratitude to their audience! Michael never stopped bowing even after he became the KING. 😥
Absolutely phenomenal! They could've taught Masterclasses on performing live. The clothes,the afros, Jermaine's press & curl & then they're playing instruments while dancing & singing! ❤️
I had one of their posters on my wall when I was a kid. Probably a year or two before this. I dug their hair, outfits, everything. The 70s were so great!!!!
The Jackson 5 were great but Michael always had the best voice and the best moves
I know Joe is like, "I'm gonna beat his ass for taking so long to get his guitar together". 🤣
Lmaooooo
Lmaoooo 🥰
Omg I can't stop laughing!!!! 😫😂🤣😫😂🤣
🤣
Im over here watching the.steps hoping they ain't mess up not funny but funny 😭
Jermaine killing it on Bass can't stop watching him.
And yet.....MJ is on screen
Facts
He fucking up and mad because after this they leave Motown and Jermaine stays.
I can't stop watching his hair lol..
Can't stop watching him??? Really??? Even when editor went to Randy playing congos instead of MJ's robot?????
In this stage michaels voice was transitioning and he understood that knew how to sing to that strength man he was magical
Beyond talent. Mind blowing. Heart breaking!
Michael Jackson just stands out.
He’s trash and stole all his dances from white people
@@DATDUDE2024 james brown, sammy davis jr are white? try to do half of what he did, your jealous shit
@@DATDUDE2024 No he watched things around the world and turned it into his own. That is what every entertainer does bro
@@lordukiyo6175 He watched dances and dancers in the black communities and incorporated the latest moves in his acts. Dance is endemic to Black America. Soul Train showcased that fact. Whether it was in Chicago or LA, black kids constantly dance and create new moves.
Raymond Brown
That's how they kept in shape running from the cops
The breakdown is historical, when Mike does the robot it's sick!👀🔥🔥🔥
This never gets old
At the end when Michael smiles and waves, almost 50 years after this was performed live, I break down crying. We miss you Magic Man R.I.P. MJ.🌹🐺
The Jackson 5/The Jacksons really gave some slick performances. They had it all, great music, looks, stylish moves and clothes. Very cool. Many shows I'm watching for the first time, but they're very rewatchable, and you get to enjoy the details even more over time.
TRUTH INDEED AMEN
Are you sure, they maybe 🤔
Tons of talent in this family.
Yesssss! I was thinking the same thing!
@@adriennerobinson1180 amen??
Man he was a genius. Almost unmatched dancing talent
Unique dancing talent .
I sholl miss this man blessing us with his wonderful talents here on earth.
I can't get the smirk off my face as to how awesome they were as a group.
😢 We miss the group, We miss Michael...
Joe Jackson should've whooped that damn camera man
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The exact comment I was about to make. You beat me to it
😆😆😆
I know, right? Michael just breaks into his dance solo and the camera closes in on the BONGO PLAYER! For like ten seconds and misses the best part of Jacko's routine!
Eugene Henderson Hell Yeah!!! Lmao
Always love seeing these old performances. This is what today's pop music is missing...actual talent.
Michael Jackson is simply unreal. The things this man could do is just out of this world. LONG LIVE THE KING.
