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

[@mikela1341]

Gosh, even before the 70s, he acted like a veteran singer. Even as a child, the talent he had was just astounding.

[@zambachoo]

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.

[@sheilamarie3788]

Their father beat them if they made a mistake. Of course they were perfect.

[@marywealth6475]

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".

[@user-ge2gx5ch8u]

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 :/

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).

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.

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!!

[@patjones7895]

Yeah I sure miss Michael Jackson being around they were great

[@candicedawson4264]

He makes it look so effortless.

[@ahappilydrunkpuppy8961]

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.

[@kentwood9821]

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.

Does anyone else look at Michael and wonder, "How the f*ck is it possible to be that talented?"

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

[@georgeterbush2976]

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!

[@nancyconyers5802]

I screamed and hollered at EVERY song. I danced to them ALL.

[@warrioroflight9231]

The breakdown is historical, when Mike does the robot it's sick!👀🔥🔥🔥

[@candyDander]

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.

Michael was a very unique talented young man he was too good for this lifetime.

[@Millienfilm81]

Whoa, their mics are live! They are alive and still till this day one of the most iconic bands.

[@kataisa3]

Their sound was so clean and on-point, without the help of auto-tune, green screens, lip-syncing or other tricks today’s “singers” use. This is real, raw talent right here. Great performance!

Michael was 16 years old. What a talent!

No his birthday was in August

[@TheHeartMystic111]

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.

[@petersonjackson5458]

Forever unforgettable memories of them.... Hello... How are you doing.

Legend has it… the camera man, who missed Michael’s robot dance, is still looking for a job to this day… 😅
