HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! Other Videos with My Dad: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nX_GmYGhfpZ2gbM kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2WXgmx7bZWcqNU

[@janepatton8100]

Thanks for the video! I really enjoyed it! Your dad is not exaggerating about MJ's M25 performance being a *sonic boom.* I'm 47 and can't put into words how this performance affected everyone. There are a few defining moments in history that so impacted you that you remember exactly where you were when it happened. I remember exactly where I was when 911 happened, and I remember exactly where I was when M25 aired. It was generational. My grandmother, mother, aunt, uncle, and siblings were all glued to the TV mesmerized by this performance. I remember being at school the next day and it was all that anyone talked about, including the teachers. No one had ever seen MJ perform like this. The song, the glove, the moonwalk, the spin, his new look, the mystique... everything was groundbreaking. I fell in love that night. Also, this performance catapulted Thriller to selling a million copies per week. *Not streams,* but actual *hard copies* where you had to drive to the record store, stand in line, then pay $14 to $16.

I love the unique perspective that your dad has on Michael's influence and artistry! Thank you for doing these videos with him, it's like getting a glimpse of history through his eyes. Happy father's day to him 🙌🏾

[@erichill4926]

I say this to my niece, 1983 it was special, when thriller came out, I was 8 years old, and I promise you to this day I have not forgotten about that. It was a moment in time to be alive. I'm sorry you missed it young lady. 😢

[@brittanyguyton3987]

I agree with your dad about never seeing a performer like Michael Jackson again. MJ really set the bar high. In this day in age, they don't perform like that anymore.

[@bradgarnerjackson5channel897]

The best television performance in history! There's not a solo artist on this earth who entertain people like Michael Jackson did!!

[@Snyper1405]

There are those copycats or wannabes, but there's only one 💞💯👑

[@reportcred]

Michael even as kid did his own thing, that's why he had to be out front as a kid because he was his own performer from birth. Katherine even said that.❤

[@OneGloveEnt]

I cannot imagine what it was like for Michael giving the performance of a lifetime and then having to wait almost 2 months for the world to see it. That anticipation would have taken me out

[@Notorious2PacOG]

I really enjoy your fathers perspectives on witnessing Motown 25 & Michael Jacksons career.. He watched the ‘70s & ‘80s Michael mania & witnessed GREATNESS!

[@Ramthemanoriginal]

Oh wow that's so awesome having your dad and one of your videos for Father's Day that is so awesome❤

[@Milkers777]

Your Pops made an excellent point MJ is so transcending and one of a kind he had Number 1 Hits in different decades & generations etc. he truly is The Greatest Music Artist To Ever Exist Forever! This was a special reaction I can hear your Pops talk for hours I’m not even saying that for the comments I’m saying this genuinely he makes me feel like I experienced Motown 25 Live when it aired back in 1983 seriously with that being said Long Live The King Of Music Michael Joseph Jackson Forever!😇😌🙌🏽👑💞🌟

Even people who weren’t Michael fans were shook!!! I was a senior in college, alone in my apartment acting a fool! 🤣💜✌🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

PS. Billie Jean had been the #1 record in the country for weeks, I think a couple months at that time.

[@ericaperry1325]

Fun fact: On I’ll Be There Jermaine’s microphone wasn’t working and that’s why you have that iconic moment of Michael and Jermaine sharing the microphone 🎤

Hi mj fan girl, thank you so much for inviting your dad , yes I knew you were growing up with Jackson 5 and Michael 's music, its so beautiful to see Michael 's legacy is passing from generation to generation ❤️ 🙏👑🤟🦋🌻

[@reportcred]

Well it was Katherine & Berry are the only ones that got him to even CONSIDER doing it, because he needed people to see him as a MAN & a solo artist! He was genius to insist doing the New Music, because its rare that people can transition like that, from one sound to a whole different sound that not one person was ever doing, he took his inspirations & created his own sound! BUT PEOPLE FORGET Billie Jean was already out & the video before Motown 25 so for me i wasnt surprised because he does this routine in the video, that I had saw a lot, i was just excited to see him live because i recorded EVERYTHING he did even interviews whatever & Katherine's jacket made the night Magical lol👑Rih KOP WE❤U 🌍

[@jordangraham2474]

I am huge fan of Michael Jackson 🔥 it was a good performance of all times . It’s magical

I love that moment with Michael and Jermaine. Michael looked genuinely so happy to be performing with him again.

1:27 Motown 25 was my first time ever seeing them performing together that was kinda my introduction of seeing them performing together and also my first time seeing MJ blow up solo from that event

Happy father's day . It's great to see you with your father,he knows so much,it is a history lesson,he explained so well what happened then,I didn't know many things. Thank you for this reaction,yes ,I would like to see your father in another reaction. All the best.

[@Moviefan2k4]

Motown 25 is a very special day in music history, not just for black musicians but for all of them. People have imitated and given tribute to so many Motown artists over the years, that it would probably be impossible to list them all.

[@MrBlackBono]

Heeeeey I’m happy to see your dad and happy Father’s Day to him

Yes MJ had to be there. Jackson 5 was All of Them. That was the Jackson 5. MJ always shined but all shined individually being the Jackson 5 as a whole group. They were an immaculate group.

It's always fun to watch this performance of J5 and then watch Michael Jackson do his thing. My kids were young when my brother & i introduced them to the Jacksons 5 and Michael Jackson as a solo artist. Before & after Michael passed in 2009.

[@anthonydevereaux3179]

The day after the Motown 25 TV special from seeing Micheal Jackson & the Jacksons performance and seeing Micheal doing his dance performance w/ the moon walk performed for the very first time on TV, and the very next day turned into Micheal mania. I mean kids was dressing up like Michael & dancing like Micheal all over the World cause I actually witnessed that Micheal mania In 1983 to 1984 along with Micheal Jackson & the Jackson's Pepsi Commercials, and then came 'The Victory tour's to see the World greatest Entertainer 🎶🎵

[@debragarner4884]

[@Therealdeal06]

I love watching you and your father share moments like this and hearing his perspective. I have such fond memories myself of watching the entire Motown 25 special with my aunt and cousins! And of course seeing Michael perform was indeed the highlight of the show! Seeing him do the moonwalk as a child was MEZMERIZING! And it’s still magical to this day! My aunt actually bought one of the very 1st VHS releases of this and we played the tape over and over and over again! Of course by the time I came along this show and performance was history. But for me, it was all brand new!!!! A few years ago there was a reissue of the show on DVD with a huge boxset that came with additional footage and interviews from the producers of the show. It is my prized possession now! There were so many great legendary moments from the show overall but Michael’s performances really made it something extraordinary. Btw, I’m not sure if you knew but there are 3 new Funko Pops of Michael coming soon. Idk if you collect them or if you’d even be interested. But I thought it would be cool to let you know if you didn’t already. I have a small collection and have been dying to add MJ to it!!!! Peace and Love❤ #mjfan4life

I love the dialogue about music history here!! 👏🏾👏🏾

[@2GunRock]

If you were an adult, or even in H.S. when Motown 25 was broadcasted, you essentially grew up listening to Motown, and the J5 were every little kids (now in H.S.) favorite group. We loved ALL OF IT (Temps, Tops, Supremes etc.), but AS KIDS the J5 was our favorites. Also this was at the beginning of Cable TV which very few people had, so 95% of the home audience still only had network TV to watch, just a few channels to choose from, so it seemed like the whole world was watching Motown 25. We loved the music, grew up on it, so this was very nostalgic for us too. Anyway, instead of talking about the show, which your father already did so well, I just want to mention the aftermath. I was in H.S. at the time and without a doubt my WHOLE SCHOOL was raving about it afterwards. It was literally the only thing everyone wanted to talk about, and of all the great performances, without a doubt the J5 then MJ doing Billie Jean and the Moonwalk stole the show. We could not believe our eyes. It was as if he was actually gliding on air, backwards!! 👀

[@ertfgghhhh]

I disagree. The jacksons were not broken up. They had just finished dropping the triumph live album. Michael announced the breakup of the jacksons WHILE they were on the victory tour. Motown 25 was the first time Jermaine had been with the brothers since they had left motown. The jacksons were still big at that time. The triumph hit album was dropped in 1980. The triumph live album was dropped in 1981. And thriller was released in 1982. The jacksons were still big.

[@kenj280]

You are correct! It's amazing how many people don't realize that! The Triumph Tour sold out arenas around the country in 1981!

[@ertfgghhhh]

@@kenj280 it is because most are not REALLY lovers of MJ. They are lovers of his product/image after "bad". They ride the clout wave, and not secretly despise his origins. In a nutshell, These people love black music but not black people. Mj would had been nothing without his brothers. And "off the wall" was not his first hit solo album.

[@robertpatras4662]

You’re going to laugh about this that night on TV when this came out I really thought he had something under his feet and made him slide because we never seen something like that on live 📺 . I was trying to imitate him.

[@KB-xp6dq]

I appreciate this introduction of "Motown 25" to a younger generation, but what the dad said about how MJ danced with his brothers in this show (and it being "different" because of "Billie Jean" being a huge hit) just ISN'T TRUE. I saw the Jackson 5 in concert when I was 4, the Jacksons at 12, 14 (twice), 17 (twice), and I flew home to L.A. from college in Tennessee TWICE to see the last two dates of the Bad Tour (MJ got sick in November and the last two dates were rescheduled for January.) Michael Jackson ALWAYS had his own dance moves apart from what his brothers did - and he had his dancers stand-in for them on the throwback songs after he went solo (with mics that probably weren't even connected). It always made sense in the context of the concerts because he was the lead singer, and it's always been normal for guys in R&B groups to step out front; MJ just put his unique spin on it whenever he was singularly center stage - ALWAYS - even when he was in elementary school. Whatever the dad identified as "Billie Jean" moves when MJ was doing his own thing in this performance was ONLY true because that's what he recognized as MJ's current dance style at the time of the taping in 1983. I DEFINITELY saw some stuff he did out front from the 70's and the Triumph Tour in '81.

I wanna say on my behalf of mjfan girl’s father I think he is right about Motown and I got a backstory of Motown everybody doesn’t know about it all started in when Michael was born in 1958 to 1959 and 1960 and 1964 down to the year of 1969 for him when he was growing up in Gary Indian when he was 6 years old he had watched a biggest super star mr James brown in 1966 when he did the song of I got you know as the song of I feel good it was time of the civil rights movement when the colour war had broken out that when Marvin Gaye started the song of wants going on and mercy to in 1969 was the day of Martin Luther king jr had died that time that’s when the civil rights movement had ended in the 70’s when Michael started the album for the off the wall the number one song was called don’t stop till you get enough in 1976 to 1977 he was inspired by mr John travolta iconic movie was Saturday night fever in 1976 in 1977 when they started the destiny album that time when since Motown was around in 1958 there was band called the temptations the performer who had discovered him when he was a led singer for the temptations his name is berry Gordy and he was in band with Smokey Robison and the temptations and the person who had discovered the Jackson’s was Marvin Gaye and Diana Ross in 1964 they got them a gig in New York City and to Detroit Michigan to they album was called ABC album and performed on Ed Sullivan show when they did the hit song of I want you back and the love you saved and I’ll be there and never say goodbye to ABC to since after they had broken up Michael had escaped to live in New York City for the album of destiny since after he moved out he had to live in Vegas and LA to built his neverland ranch and his neverland valley home in 1987 of the bad album era since in the 90’s he started built his own theme park and the petting zoo in 1991 he was gifted with a elephant was a birthday gift from Elizabeth Taylor that time in 1994 when he did the dangerous album that time when the black or white video came out the person who wrote it was a director of the blues brothers movie his name is John landis he was the director for the black or white video and the thriller video to to never since after 90’s in the 2002’s everything went down hill of the allegations of the case of Wade Robison in 2005 to 2006 since after that time he said until his time comes he wanted to live forever and he did on June 25 2009 the day of his passing since 14 years with out him his life was a huge one for him and he had impacted so many things in life from culture and race and region and faith to and love for god and Jesus and love his work he did for the sick and the homeless to because that he had came up a song he did in 1985 and 1994 was called we are the world and heal the world is a dedication tribute to those in Africa he had donated to sick kids hospitals around the world with toys and games and giving them stuff animals and books so many things he did for him in his he is a chosen one to help them and also he had give a little boy took him to Disney land for his wish and he got it his name is Bela farkas he was a orphan child who needed a liver transplant and had no chance for recovery Michael had to step in to pay for his transplant and for his surgery and his still alive now doing well now he was grateful for him to take him to see Disney land for his 1st time in his whole tire life it was his dream to go there with him and his wing and to go on his private airplane and landed there in Orlando and go hang out to see all his Disney fans that time in 1994 to 1995 when he went see him at sick kids hospital that time

[@billyjohn7846]

The reason why we'll never see another "Michael Jackson" hardly has anything to do with talent. Labels just won't find a person who was trained the way Michael was, Beyonce is the closest because can't nobody do what Beyonce does in those 5-inch stilletos. Anyway, we definitely have someone more talented out there than a Michael or a Beyonce, it's a matter of finding that individual, which is almost impossible.
