I honestly think Wylie is the definitive Michael impersonator. He isn't impersonating him to the point where he's mocking Jackson. It's like Michael with a twist of Wylie.
Yes and Michael would have privately said that it was a toned down version of the Jacksons story. For example The real Joseph was said to be even rougher in real life.
I have never seen anyone imitate michael jackson in dance the way Wylie does. He is close to perfection. Shame he has passed on. Maybe he is with Michael now, comparing dance moves.
@@anaityketihw I think its was Hodgkins......and that diagnosis is like death sentence. 6 months and your done. Same thing happened to the guy from the Spartacus series on Starz. Healthy as hell, gets diagnosed with Hodgkins and was just gone
THE actor who portrayed Michael in this movie did a good job as the 70s earky 1980s Michael jackson..which he passed away nit too long after this movie was made..In my opinion he was the best and close enough lookalike to how michael looked right before all the plastic surgeries got out of hand in later years..he really looked like michaek especialky in the emergency room when his dad was in the hospital room talking to him
“ Stop the music, let’s take that again from the top”. * The real Michael Jackson was a perfectionist at his craft. He was the kind of artist that was never quite satisfied until he was sure every note and sound flowed as it was suppose too, so I can only imagine how many retakes he did to deliver on those memorable hits.

Agreed and good eye regarding the slightly thicker build..particularly in the thighs and slightly shorter stature,as well. Nonetheless..still fine and talented and magnificent portrayal of the late great MJ..imitated but never duplicated.

@@deljean actually he passed away before playing in the video of Remember the time so from where you are going to find him 😳 he died after 7 months of completing the movie which means 1993, 20th December.
@@jamesrussell6123 yeah. He actually has a decent amount of screen time in that music video. Also Michael hand picked Wylie to play him in this movie 😊
The Billie Jean routine is mind blowing. I would love to see them both simultaneously side by side at the same time to compare just how close it is, in any event it's pretty dam brilliant.
r.i.p.for Michael and for Wylie Draper. but damn Wylie looks so much as michael is unbelieveble and that dancing in the beginning is amazing. i'm in love
The "never can say goodbye" part is my favorite part. I always skip to that part. It has a bittersweet feeling. RIP Wylie Draper. Thanks for bringing alive Michael Jackson in that movie 😘
OK GRACIAS POR LOS COMENTARIOS DE ❤LA GENTE QUE NO SE LES ❤PUEDE ❤Balears ❤de ❤que de las de la casa cuándo pueda pase de los que nos fuéramos juntas pero está bien sino también te Amo princesa mía mi aunque LA GENTE QUE NO SE LES PUEDE
With all due respect to MJ, growing up watching this movie and even now prefer kipp Lennon’s version of never can say goodbye, which is crazy because the original is a classic props to Kipp !
R.I.P Wylie! You were great for this role. It will be hard to replace you,if that's even possible,I don't know. Hope you and Mike are having a good time in heaven,hope I see you there when I get there.
Michael Jackson was the greatest entertainer who ever lived. I really miss Michael Jackson a lot!!! I wish he was still alive. God bless Michael's children and family!!! ☹🙂👍🙏
Hey Wylie Draper(RIP) on Dancing Machine was incredible!!! J5 always performed that song with a different choreography but during this biopic, the actors turned it up a notch in their portrayal and performance. All of them did a remarkable job.
I did not know if you were still interested in knowing the answer to your question but yes sadly Wyler Draper who played MJ in this mini series died in 93 of a rare Leukemia... this is very said he was only 24 yrs old
I’m so happy Michael picked Wylie Draper to play him in this film. This is still my favorite biopic and I’m glad he was able to play such an amazingly notable role and show the world his talent before he lost his battle with cancer 😔 I remember randomly googling him one year after I re-watched this movie and finding out he had passed in 1993. I was so sad 🫤 his life and career were cut short but he left a great legacy behind in this performance! 🙏🏾
"Never Can Say Goodbye" is my Fav Jackson 5 Song! When it comes to Looks, Every Day Voice and Moves of Michael, Wylie is True King when it comes to Impersonation! When it comes to Singing Voice, Kipp Lennon is pretty Damn Close to Michael's Singing Ability! It's a damn shame Wylie was taken from us so soon after this Movie. Rest In Peace and God Bless You Wylie and The King of Pop Himself Michael Jackson 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I always wondered what the Jackson family may have thought when they saw this guy Draper perform Michael in this Series. Most of the moves and antics is spot on Michael! Amazing!
"Home" From The Wiz - is sung by Van Johnson
Where did you get that version of break of dawn at the end?

Thank you for this! Always meant to look up who sings this version in the movie.

He even chose the damn actors lol so hell yeh imma approve

I like how he looks just like Micheal when he was 18 from 1976 he looks just like him lml :D

True
The fact that Jermaine Jackson Jr played his father in this movie 😍😍♥️👏🏾 phenomenal 👌🏾
I didnt know that jermaine jr. Played his father. Cool. And i have seen this movie like a dozen of times.
Yep. I think Jermaine personally casted him since he was the producer of this
& he also got to play along w/ his pretend aunts, uncles, & grandparents lol
That's not Jermaine,s son. That is the guy from welcome back kotter. See the credits on the movie.
And the guy from coolie high
The best movie!!!! Willie played a good MJ! Almost forgot it wasn't the real MJ.
took me a long time to understand that this wasn't really michael , cause they look so much alike lol
And he really looks like mj
Yel Ring r.i.p. Wylie Draper
Wylie did a kiss ass job playin the role of the king of pop
Wylie was PERFECT for this role. Nobody could have done a better job.
They cast this Michael very well.
Michael hand picked the actors who played himelf
His Bille Jean performance was spot on!!! That moonwalk was perfect, Compared to Michael, that’s as close as you’re going to get to the real thing!!
monicawism not the hair though. Lol. Smh.
@@h0hleek I disagree. No one can be close to MJ.
Demetrius Scott duh are you crazy
@@h0hleek No. Just my opinion.
Demetrius Scott he could do it all
The sad part is that Mr. Wylie died not too long after the film was completed.
Natalie Tisdale that's weird lol seems like a mj curse or sum
Charlieputh fan he had some type of rare condition not no damn curse
Tysheara TV he had a rare form of Leukemia cancer
@@anaityketihw I think its was Hodgkins......and that diagnosis is like death sentence. 6 months and your done. Same thing happened to the guy from the Spartacus series on Starz. Healthy as hell, gets diagnosed with Hodgkins and was just gone

RIP Wylie and MJ

I used to think that Wylie Draper was the real Michael Jackson when i first saw him in this! The resemblance is unreal!!
4:39 my favorite part of the movie... Mainly because it's my favorite song AND HE LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE MIKE RIGHT HERE
❤❤❤❤❤
6:00…. That Berry Gordy entrance sent chills down my spine
That part scared me
That’s Billy Dee’s film presence, so majestic!

One of the best song of all time. Love hearing it on the piano
Seriously underrated song. One of my favorites
The year is wrong it's 1982 not 1983
That "never can say goodbye" editing showing Jermaine gets me deeply. Plus the song is so heartfelt by ITSELF.
Do you know why he was crying?
@@blacksplashmedia29misses his brothers after going solo.
The only TV mini-series that I consider a true biopic. No other Jackson biopic after 1992 can ever do it right, they can only fabricate.
i never can say goodbye michael is soo cute
Tatum P shutup
Wylie Draper played Michael Jackson so well 💯🥰✨🙏🏾 RIP to both men ‼️
That human nature part gave me chills!
Right! Every time I watched that seen he looked so much like Michael.
Facts! Favorite part of the movie
Fr
Good God! He knocked it OUT OF THE BALL PARK with that Moonwalk! Damn he did Michael justice!
human nature & never can say goodbye is my favorite part of this movie
I’m so glad that I grew up in the 70’s.
80's baby here.
Quick fact, the actor that played older MJ was also in MJ's video "Remember The Time".
Wylie Draper. For years i tried to locate him but never could lol
@@deljean actually he passed away before playing in the video of Remember the time so from where you are going to find him 😳 he died after 7 months of completing the movie which means 1993, 20th December.
@@sandraroberts7157 idk thts what i heard. But the movie came out in 92
@@deljean by the way it wasn't movie it was a TV series which started in 92 and ended up in 93.
@@sandraroberts7157 yeah i know it was on t.v.
Kipp Lennon deserves more credit. He dubbed MJ’s vocals for this movie in most scenes.
And may I say, he sang Never Can Say Goodbye and The Love You Save better than adult Michael did
This version of "Never Can Say Goodbye" is one of the most beautiful things I ever saw. By far.
Fun fact: Wylie Draper is in the Remember The Time music video as a background dancer
Yes and he passed away shortly after the video was made in 1993.
Yes 🥰
Is that right?
@@jamesrussell6123 yeah. He actually has a decent amount of screen time in that music video. Also Michael hand picked Wylie to play him in this movie 😊

This nigga Jermaine was on the beach trying to save Motown...
Lmao bruh and the sad part is he only stayed cause he was married into Motown probably scared Berry would tell him he can't see Hazel anymore
You a fool 😂😂😂😂😂💯
😱😱😱😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The "never can say goodbye" part is my favorite part. I always skip to that part. It has a bittersweet feeling. RIP Wylie Draper. Thanks for bringing alive Michael Jackson in that movie 😘
Human nature is my favorite song 4ever I love u Michael🔥💋😢💚💙
Naima Lee ....Cut it out! "Billy Jean" is where it's at. 😏
Really love OFF THE WALL, the whole album, except maybe the song "Girlfriend".
When I say HE PLAYED his part as Michael he did his THINGGG👏🏽
Yes he did😍😍😍😍
The Fact That They Don't Where Matching outfits in this movie but still look color coordinated
i had to skip the whole human nature part, becuz i didn't want to cry like i do every single time i hear this song.
I fuckin love that song
@@vickyfountain5094 me too sis. That song speaks to my soul
The funny thing Is Jackie, Marlon, nor tito has every seen this movie before
and OH MY GOSH, THE BILLIE JEAN PART WAS FLAWLESS!
It's funny, Randy is suppose to be 15 years old at this point but looks 25.
no one is better than mj. but i respect every ones tributes.
I agree with you about that RMB DA OGG .
But the Jackson family was involved in this one. It makes it more better.
Wylie Draper and Micheal Jackson RIP ,I will always remember the movie and the songs.
This might sound crazy but I like Wylie’s voice more for “never can say goodbye” than the original. Dude was super talented. Amazing voice.
Hi it was Kipp Lennon who sung the parts for "adult" Michael in the movie, but Wylie did a great job to the point you though it was him :)
My thoughts exactly
"Home" adored tht scene as he reflect on his early days
When 'Home' starts playing ..that scene always touches my spirit..makes me recollect on my life as well
Who sings “Home”
