The little one is Randy Jackson the youngest brother. The stylist was their mother. Motown 25th anniversary performance is when Mj was a superstar
@lecuyerdooley1084Ай бұрын
Years before he would actually join the Jacksons -- he had to be about 12 years old here. Not many clips of all six Jackson brothers onstage in the 1970s. Once they left Motown and Jermaine stayed with the company, Randy took his place in the group.

Dancing Machine was released September 1973, so Michael would have been just turned 15 in late August. I was five years old, and my kid brain thought they were saying "washing machine" as that was the only machine I knew. lol

MJ loved the late great Fred Astaire who was a beast on the dance floor! He watched his style of dancing! Before Astaire passed away he complimented The King of Pop! He said “Oh, God! That boy moves in a very exceptional way. That’s the greatest dancer 🕺of the century”. - Fred Astaire on seeing Michael Jackson dancing.

You should do a video of young Michael singing live and dancing at the same time:) Michael was always known as a good dancer, and an incredible impersonator, even as a very small child. Check out the J5 audition tape where Michael impersonates James Brown at the age of 10. But I guess the moment you are talking about is the Motown 25 special in 1983 where he did the moonwalk for the first time on TV. That is the beginning of cementing Michael as one of the greatest dancers of all time:) Unfortunately, as you can see and hear, this is not live, like most TV performances of the era.

Michael first showed off the Moonwalk at the Motown 25th Anniversary Special. He performed with all his brothers for the first time since he went solo. Jermaine also performed with the brothers since he left the group years before. After the performance with his brothers, he performed Billie Jean where he showed off his skills as a seasoned performer
@stranger0n3arthАй бұрын
The iconic robot part of performance marked a transition for Michael with serious vocal power and distinctive style 🕺In rehearsal footage (during adult Michael era lol) I notice how engaged Michael was in the process , even guiding his dancers on particular movements and steps. Watching this show again, his visionary approach to choreography always ahead of his time and unafraid to push boundaries 🥰 Michael, you are deeply missed by billions of fans around the globe. 💕

The “Unbelievable Dancer” moment was MOTOWN 25. That’s was his real shift into MJ the King of Pop. The music, the dance, the iconography, and the pure talent and drive are all on display in that performance. Y’all have to watch the whole thing though!!

Michael and Janet were close and drifted apart around the time of the Scream video. Janet is now closer to Randy, from her recent social media posts.
@KB-xp6dqАй бұрын
In interviews, Janet has said that they were close - until "Thriller" changed everything. Michael's ridiculous level of fame forced him to insulate himself - unfortunately from his own family too - because there were so many layers of people involved just to talk to him. Things only got more complicated once he developed a dependency on drugs (all leading back to when his hair caught on fire) because the family wanted to have interventions and MJ had the resources and security to prevent it. Janet is on camera in her docuseries saying that she wasn't "allowed" to spend time with her own brother unless they were shooting together on the "Scream" video, and that's just sad.
@TheKittsPajamasАй бұрын
@@KB-xp6dq Plus I’m sure it didn’t help that Janet had that man following her around recording every second of her life. From what I understand, the entire family got tired of it pretty quickly but she ignored their complaints and kept bringing him with her everywhere. She wouldn’t even make him stop for her mom apparently.
