The Jacksons - Tell Me I'm Not Dreamin' (Victory Tour Live at Toronto) (1984) (HD)

[@drwakeup2407]

💯 and that's fo sho

[@Jelboo]

It's so clear and obvious Michael's ambition far exceeded just being on stage with his brothers. He had tasted solo success and there was no turning back. The energy and hunger in his vocals here are incredible - he outperforms and overshadows his older brother easily. Such a moment.

[@mamanitubea]

Still all the brothers together were fantastic

[@fostermac7170]

"Outperformed? Overshadowed?" This isn't a competition, this is a performance. Everything you hear in this song was designed, concepted, written and produced to sound like it did. This song was written by Michael Omartian for Jermaine (his key, the chords he's most comfortable in___and designed to be sung while PLAYING bass!). Omartian knows them well____they have worked together almost a decade at this point. Michael's role (by design) is as a featured vocalist taking advantage of his ability to scale higher chords. That's what makes the song work as well as it did. You guys are gonna need some education and sophistication along with your fandom if you're gonna continue to post commentary on the internet.

[@texsion]

He’s the main vocalist on literally every song duh he’s gonna outperform them😭

[@fostermac7170]

Huh? You're making it up to fit YOUR understanding of things. Jermaine went solo first. You want to revisit that little blurb concerning "ambition"?

I've seen MJ twice solo and him with his brothers 5 times. There's nothing that even comes close to seeing the entire group together.

[@megavega4]

@@yourfairyking That's because you probably never experienced them together in a live setting. I MUCH prefer the J-5/Jacksons material over his solo stuff. The true magic is all of them together. His brothers NEVER got in the way. Rather they all enhanced each other. I've seen the original Jackson 5 twice, The Jacksons 3 times and the Bad Tour twice. As great as the Bad Tour was, The Triumph Tour in 1981 remains one of THE best concerts I've ever seen in my life. That's the concert that became the Jacksons Live album.

[@diamondunicorn1983]

the jump in energy when michael joins the song is very real. nothing against jermaine (i love the man's voice) but michael was a talent so many levels above most other performers...so glad we have the chance to continue to be witness to it even when he is gone physically

[@fostermac7170]

The song was written to have that effect. Has nothing to do with whether an artist has "energy" or not. The song was written to take advantage of Michael's ability to scale chords. Jermaine is not supposed to match tenors in this song.

[@texsion]

⁠@@fostermac7170these people just can turn anything into upping Michael and pushing down the brothers, there’s no point in arguing it atp😭 cause like duh the energy goes up that’s how the song is written and how jermaine wanted it 🤦‍♂️

@@texsion You said it better than I ever could. Thanks for logical response.

[@TerraCrisis]

And yall downplay MJ’s talent, it was written this way sure but it was designed this way because MJ had the talent to pull it off, it’s literally a different “feel” when Mike hops on, there’s a clear difference between vocal talent here regardless of how the song was “designed”

I remember seeing them perform this on the Victory tour. True Jackson fans were ecstatic to see the brothers reunited but the 'Thriller-come-lately' newbies treated Jermaine's segment like intermission. It's one thing to leave for the restroom, etc., but to openly talk while the dude's performing...good grief. Couldn't wait to get from beyond those idiots' sphere.

Much the same dynamic continues today, sadly - the brothers' talents being consistently dismissed by the more 'stan'-like solo MJ fans. I wasn't born in the Victory days, but I've seen the group twice since their 2012 touring 'comeback', and they put on great shows.

Music Trivia-When Jermaine signed with Arista Records, Jermaine asked Michael to come to the studio to record a duet. Michael asked what was going to happen. Jermaine informed him that they was going to be recording a duet and sing lead and backgrounds by themselves. Michael was excited. Sadly record label politics prevented the song to be released as an official single. Epic didn't want Arista to release a single with their artist despite the fact it was his brother and idol. The single was released as a radio single and it hit # 1 on the Adult Comptemorary and Dance charts and earned them brother a Grammy Nomination. The jacksons decided to perform this classic on their Victory tour.

[@chrisgambaro-vega9504]

Wow... someone who actually knows what they're talking about and doesn't devolve into pitting one against the other.

[@jpog123]

It is not meant to be a competition but MJ’s record company, Epic and Walter Yetnikoff are the people/person to ask or Clive Davis since they were the ones who agreed how to release the single (promotional single as the B side of Do What You Do. Another fantastic song and recording. Yetnikoff has stated in an interview he made the call to Clive Davis based on Michael’s concern. The record received a Grammy nomination and wide radio play and is a great song. It is a No. 1 song for sure!!

[@zamdon101]

3:45 is one of MJ's only perfect moments on stage. You see, Michael is a perfectionist, and so he does everything to get a performance right. When Jermaine started to do the background vocals, Michael did a 1/8 beat instead of the rehearsed 1/4 beat. This result sounded quite better, and that's how it ended up with that.
