Got to Be There (Michael Jackson) reaction

That 13-year-old high/light tenor of Michael's just goes RIGHT through your soul in this wonderful 1971 song about love, about being there in the morning "when she says hello to the world." Michael's voice is so moving, so emotional, it just sweeps you away and takes you places.

[@janellestevens2316]

Michael was otherworldly when he was a kid. Child prodigy personified. His childhood was stolen from him, and we all benefited from it. When he performed, whether live, or in studio, he NEVER, EVER cheated the audience…..

[@mattsmith8901]

Michael knew every nuance of this song and HOW to sing it. Brilliant.

[@Chamuel1310]

No fancy schools to “teach him” - a simple boy from Gary, Indiana with MAJOR TALENT and a Phenomenal VOICE who impacted countless people around THE WORLD. Bravo, Michael & THANK YOU. 💝💝💝🥰🥰🥰👏🏽😎💪🏽

[@MrSean3kids]

He went to Motown the Harvard of Music

[@BluEx22329]

​@@MrSean3kids still not a school 😂

[@cherubimbean8320]

Michael Jackson's singing voice is the definition of "Etheral": extremely delicate and light in a way that seems too perfect for this world. 🤗😍

[@tonyjulian1289]

His voice was a Gift from God 🙏

[@Chamuel1310]

It’s the PURITY OF HIS VOICE. The HEART OF MICHAEL COMES THROUGH. Not tainted by anyone’s opinion - his WHOLE HEART COMES THROUGH ❤️💝💝💝

[@coursecorrection4105]

Young MJ’s voice was so bright and clear; he had such a beautiful tone and delivery. I read that some of the Motown producers banned his father from recording sessions b/c he hit MJ for wanting to do different takes. MJ was a perfectionist even at a young age, but his dad was concerned about the cost.

[@socorrofernandez2909]

He was gifted singer, musician and dancer. no one can be like him up to this generation in a music industry.

[@itsjob595]

That purity and clean voice. His early voice was unmatched

[@beyourself2444]

Gosh, you can hear how happy and moving this song was for him. He was such a great child artiste, one of the best ever

[@josephmalik3861]

one of the greatest songs of all time

[@cashstacksg478]

His voice then put wings on your feet, and just takes you far off to that magical place you've never been before within. And what's so amazing is that supernatural voice still almost have the same impact today as it had 50 years ago. He will have fans for generations to come.🌹

[@suzanneprock7286]

He was so adorable, I love his early music and will always cherish it. We were the same age.

[@ozlemyildirim3734]

Michael was born to be a singer. He is one and only greatest singer,dancer and entertainer of all time. 👏 Your reaction is amazing. 👍 Please more reaction to Michael songs. Thanks for the sharing and greetings from Germany. 🙋‍♀️

[@matrix2297]

What a wunderkind. To think, that if he hadn't become the legend he did that this little kid may not be well known today....he still did so many exciting things vocally as a man but listening to his young voice feels spiritual. God rest his soul.

[@jodykirk622]

So pure and innocent. But I agree so much that it is just hard to explain how it affects you. To me, it just takes me to a place that is both simple and beautiful. Just simple purity.

[@clairesmith1964]

Oh I so agree with you..the emotion it evokes in me is unexplainable ❤

[@Chamuel1310]

I subscribed to your channel because YOU UNDERSTAND! 🥰 I am the daughter of a Motown Executive, born in Detroit - I was six years old when this song was produced- The PURE MAGIC of Michael’s ORIGINAL VOICE - I am so happy to hear someone acknowledge his TRUE TALENT! 👍🏼💕❤️ Thank you foe the gift! 💝💝💝

[@daxmusix]

Thank you, and yes, his voice is pure magic! 😉

[@davidbarnes1113]

The first 45 single I ever purchased on my own as an 8 year old kid was “Rockin’ Robin” I was too young to remember if it was on the same album, but I remember I asked my mom for a $1.00 so I could buy it. My first singles from the J5 were actually the free cardboard singles of ABC that was on the back of the Alpha-Bits cereal box! That was in 69 when I was 5.

[@KenJames9911]

Wow, What a Beautiful Child he was... Forever Michael ♥❤❤

[@mimigirl3362]

Just brought me to tears. I have no words😰

[@Timoeltejano]

I agree. His true golden years. You are spot on...Damnit! Those high notes and his accent up there. I think my favorite was, and still is, FAREWELL MY SUMMER LOVE.

[@jodykirk622]

I love all of the songs on that album. I still listen to it on long car rides. Call On Me and Girl You're So Together as well as FMSL are perfect. Heck all of them are 😆

[@JordanX767]

If you haven’t, you got to check out “We’ve Got a Good Thing Going”. Early Michael Jackson song. Absolutely incredible vocals.

[@leehartlee2970]

I love that one too but I love ALL of them! Thanks for reminding me of that song, as there are so many!

[@reggiebryant253]

Just hit another homerun!... For me, "Got To Be There" was Michael's finest solo performance. Dax, I'm really glad you grew up listening to these songs. Your vivid memory of those days and how the music made you FEEL, is what really makes YOUR reactions the most relatable and authentic. :)

[@daxmusix]

Thanks very much, Reggie. It might be his finest solo performance, it is so incredibly emotional and moving and simply gorgeous. His voice is out-of-this-world perfect. But he had so many incredible performances during his teenage years, it’s hard for me personally to say. I’ll be doing many more reactions on him during that period. Thanks again, my friend 😉

[@JordanX767]

@@daxmusix I couldn’t agree with you more. I love his earlier music. Can’t wait to see more reactions from you in this category. He was one of a kind. In my opinion, the best singer as a child I’ve heard. If not of all time. It’s such an emotional song and holds so much nostalgia in my life it almost brings me to tears every time I hear it.

[@danieljackson1978]

The way Jermaine Jackson song Daddy's Home was cool also

[@tinamarino2534]

Angelic voice

[@ronniepatton7730]

Someone described his voice as having perfect pitch just effortless in his delivery people always use the phrase as a person being so musically gifted that they could sing the phone book but it's quite obvious he could sing the alphabet and every song he ever sang an me being a witness to his extraordinary talent knew from off the bat that this young man was going to be a force to be reckoned with and a feast for the ears often IMITATED! never DUPLICATED!

[@Peter-wo1jk]

In this song my favourite part is "the moment i know she loves me". The emphasise on me is fabulous and the line is sung with love. The other song of his i like is with The Jackson Five "let me show you the way". The way he sings "please please please", is also expressing love.

[@raymondstewart4094]

You should listen to this in a capella

[@InspiredxMJ]

This was so beautiful. Thank you so much!!!

[@nathanieldavis5231]

Man that Jackson 5 , I lived through the Era. As a musician ,a truly great gift. Proud Boomer!

[@jamesheggs6825]

my god his voice goes right through you!!!

[@BluEx22329]

Angelic

[@nastyspaghetti4628]

[@daxmusix]

I love that song! I will definitely be doing a reaction to it sometime soon. Thanks 😉

[@brendavanetten3877]

Only one singer can match this voice

[@ritadaniel7132]

Forever Michael 💕😭

[@VBOProductions]

Greatest of all time

[@Elizabeth-nn3fd]

Beautifully said!

[@issiewizzie]

remember dad getting this on cartage back in the day ....

[@victoroliveira9713]

This bass line is so powerfull.

[@tsonofjohnson489]

Michael, truly was amazing! Saw the Jackson 5 at coliseum in Portland, Oregon. The opening act Was The great Ike and Tina Turner talk about performances! about 10-11 years old too.

[@marilynbergemann6927]

I totally agree with you. I do like the song Don’t stop until you get enough and I want to rock with you.May he rest in peace.

[@monte_james2217]

AMAZING, UNBELIEVABLE!!!

[@lindaaumiller7592]

Oh I was a big fan! This song grabs you and holds on!

More mj reactions please

[@olivecoyle858]

Could you please react to Michael Jackson earth song official video

[@Pass179]

This song transports me right back into my childhood. I love Michael and I always will. He's a part of my existance.❤

[@stevenagle7293]

I cant even...no words.

[@donaldhenry5315]

OLD J5 the best ever. My afro was just like his.

[@user-bw3ug2yn6l]

I get the exact same supernatural description you describe in this song, and also, when he song 'Ben'. Being that I am in Michael, and his brother's age group, I find myself being more drawn into early Michael, and the J5's early songs, although his adult artistry was next level.

[@cristianonascimentocrhis7093]

MJ MAGICO

[@jazminanahivallejoscardozo3668]

Simplemente, MJ el mejor de todos los tiempos!❤

[@dianaspeechless]

L.O.V.E 🌬️ 💗

[@pescadaro1814]

You should have reacted to the live version it’s phenomenal!

[@Kemet3.0]

What's so incredible so many other young singers were coming out at the sametime... but didn't have the staying power of MJ or talent. Foster Sylvers, Donny Osmond and Ponderosa Twins Plus One. In addition, the Jackson 5 background vocals are like angels. I'm sorry to say, MJ with the Jackson Five sound better than MJ solo. And, I see you also reviewed 'With a Child Heart,... check out Maybe Tomorrow, Got to Be There and Lookin' Through The Windows.(Darling Dear)

[@DonRosa949]

El único cantante que puede crear esa atmósfera tan especial, fue Camilo Sesto con su disco llamado Entre Amigos. En la plenitud de sus rangos vocales.

[@horizontoday7874]

Michael would never sing this as an adult. I believe he felt is was too difficult to perform during his concerts.

[@josephmalik3861]

it was the funk brothers band not the jackson 5 that is the band

[@daxmusix]

Thank you

[@dickmonti9899]

I believe you are correct, Carol Kaye on bass, Hal Blaine on drums. Glen Campbell occasionally played with the Funk Bros., and The Beach Boys, too..

[@dman221]

Why would the lyrics be complex? He is 13 years old…😆😆😆

[@noname-nobody1247]

You didn't like solo adult Michael?

[@daxmusix]

I said that I liked Michael in his 20s and early 30s, but not as much

[@user-bl1pw2th4l]

It doesn't matter if he didn't because Michael as a 13 year old is the same person.

[@NSeal1120]

Beautiful

[@robertomendezcosta3926]

BONITA VOZ BONITO TEMA

[@leewilson2010]

Jackson brothers were used as Michael back up singers ...

[@paulclark8647]

Wow 😢
