Jackson 5 Special Reaction! - "Stand!, Who's Loving You, I Want You Back" on The Ed Sullivan Show

[@4lbfer]

There has never been a more talented kid than MJ, the way he sings, his attitude, his confidence, his acting, his charisma, he is a 10 year old with 50 years of experience. Incredible!

[@quanahedwards2778]

He’s the definition of a Superstar!

[@TreyMessiah95]

I mean that’s debatable, you had Frankie Lymon of the teenage who inspired Michael Jackson and his brothers, and than you had Danny osmonds of osmonds who inspired Jackson 5

[@kareemeverison]

Facts 💯

​@@TreyMessiah95nobody cares nor knows them and yet nearly everybody knows michael jackson even the newest generation 😂

[@GoldenLady1007]

​@TreyMessiah95 It is NOT debatable. Those you mentioned were good. Michael was otherworldly. Frankie Lymon was a bit before my time. However, I witnessed The J5 and the Osmonds. The J5 were simply in a class by themselves. The Osmonds, particularly Donny, were good. Not as good as the J5. Partly because they had MJ, they were just...in the stratosphere. 💛

[@josephjasem7926]

How on earth can a 10-year old do this on this level😮. His moves were the best. His voice was the best. And his star power was the best amongst his brothers and peers. I believe MJ was a once in multiple generations talent.

Where did the half sister come from? Joe cheated?

[@AlineOliveira-vm5kw]

@@Back_Shots_Whisperer yes. He was having sex with women while they were on the road and Katherine his wife was at home taking care of the younger children. I remember a private phone conversation and Michael talked about how he could hear Joe having sex with women and that he felt sick and horrible for knowing everything and not being able to tell his mother. She was born one day after Michael's 16th birthday. He hid it from everyone for quite some time, bought her gifts and loved her more than any of his own children, and even allowed her to call him "daddy" while the rest of the kids had to call him "Joseph". When Katherine found out she almost filed for divorce. The daughter suddenly decided to appear and unsurprisingly none of the Jackson children could have a relationship with her, especially not Michael, I know he only met her once in the early 2000s. Joseph had no respect for his wife or his own children.

[@elina0301]

Everything about this performance was amazing! Michael’s voice is beautiful, and the dance moves are fantastic!

Theres no other child who could sing like MJ or his brothers. They were a once in a lifetime occurrence.

[@dancingwheels8494]

When he was a child, they used to call Michael a 40-year-old midget. Because it was like watching a grown man move and groove. The song, who’s loving you, was originally Smokey Robinson’s song. But he was amazed when Michael sang it, saying that he sang it as if he lived it, even though he was only 10 years old.

[@TheKittsPajamas]

If it wasn’t for being able to witness kids like MJ, Stevie Wonder, Brandy, and Jazmine Sullivan with my own eyes/ears I would never believe a child could sing this good. Brandy at 11 was already giving Whitney vocals, Jazmine at 11 was already giving Aretha vocals, MJ and Stevie at 11 were already giving… well MJ and Stevie. 😂

[@angelopaoletti4768]

Can I say that I'm growing fond of you...? Maybe you're a fan of one of my favorite idols, but that's how it is. Referring to the innate ability... of the little guy, to hold the stage, since he was a puppy, I think about how difficult it must have been for him, to perform, smiling, dancing and singing, when there was a real Ogre in the house, who managed everything. ..who should do what, in what way, and down with belts for every wrong step or note, hearing: "With that big nose you have, you're definitely not my son, you're too ugly..." (then we is still surprised by his attempts to change his face) The psychological pressure, which he suffered more than the others, when his father decided to focus only on him, seeing that it worked, was the spark that, over the years, made the King of Pop increasingly fragile and vulnerable to attacks from the real world... he was really the Peter Pan, an adult who was missing entire parts of his unlived life, due to the greed of a father-master, who had his big gold ring kissed by those who went to visit him....not even if it had been the Pope..more, the Godfather in style...

[@itsjustnaima]

Love to see peoples faces light up as soon as little MJ opens his mouth and starts singing!!! The greatest to ever do it!

[@Ciclopea2]

The Jackson 5 were all so talented, but we all know that Michael was years ahead of his brothers even as a 10 year old kid. A prodigy, a genius, destined to become the King of Pop 👑💖

[@Lilith_F]

I wonder if MJ is looking at Joeseph since he keeps looking to the side. He's smiling but also seems like he's a robot, he's hitting those moves so well.

[@luana45393]

That is so true, I listened to a private tape from the 2000s and he said that everyone was clapping and his father was the one in the audience looking hard at him to not make any mistakes and he'd be terrified thinking he'd get in trouble after the show... poor baby had to smile and try to pretend he wasn't there 💔😥

[@rickaliawhite998]

YALL SHOULD DEDFINITELY REACT TO "BLAME IT ON THE BOOGIE" BY THE JACKSONS PLEASE!

[@EagleFang74]

Off the Wall was considered a huge success and had two number one singles on it. One if which many people still feel is Michael's greatest song ever, "Rock with You". "Thriller" was Michael and Quincy's attempt to equal or top their success with "Off the Wall". There are lots of people who will argue that "Off the Wall" is actually a superior album. "Thriller" had the added benefit of MTV to push it into the stratosphere. "Off the Wall" was pre-MTV so it didn't get that added boost.

[@gigi-ij1hk]

Apparently Michael felt that Off the Wall did not get the awards recognition it deserved, and wanted Thriller to be UNDENIABLE - which it was

[@ericalamothe2958]

I ❤️ Michael. I turned my niece into a superfan. She was in her car seat, correcting my sister on the lyrics of Smooth Criminal 😂 However, some more great Michael songs: 1. Earth Song 2. Give into me 3. 2000 Watts 4. Break of Dawn 5. Dirty Diana 6. Butterflies

[@woverby1963]

Michael is the stand out for sure but damn, so much talent in one family! The moves, the music, the backup singing and MJ's incomparable voice at such a young age. Cant listen to this and not smile and get out of your chair.

[@Lovsurvives]

Michael is the youngest of the 'Jackson 5' . I believe he is 10 years old here. Randy joined the group later and became the youngest member of 'The Jacksons'. But the youngest child from the family is Janet. She is 8 years younger than Michael

Frankie Lymon was MJ before MJ. He had his own group too about a decade and a half before the Jackson 5. So people compared MJ to Frankie Lymon when the Jackson 5 became known in 1968. Sad thing is Frankie died in early 1968 aswell. So he never got to witness MJ or the Jackson 5. He was only 25. Frankie’s story is tragic tho. MJ got some influence from him aswell as from James Brown and others. Yall should react to his music sometime. Would give you some great insight into others like MJ

[@dancingwheels8494]

Fun fact: most in the Jackson family will tell you that Marlon is the best “natural dancer.“ Supposedly Michael even said that in his book, but I’ve never read that part. If this is true, my guess is that he was good at moving and grooving, but Michael was able to pick up choreography and embody it better than anyone. I think that’s what Marlon had a hard time with. I remember in an interview Katherine saying that she thought Marlon might’ve been a better natural dancer, but Michael wanted it more. Again, it’s hard to know how much of this is really true. I could say that while I love Marlon, I never thought Michael was in danger of losing his reputation as being the better dancer lol

[@KB-xp6dq]

Believe me or don't, but I got to spend 5 days at Neverland in 2002 and see MJ's dance room. He had LITERALLY worn the top layer of the floor away in a certain spot practicing spins in front of the mirror. He would dance himself to exhaustion trying to make his performances perfect, so maybe it came more natural to Marlon, but Michael was the only perfectionist in the group.

[@dancingwheels8494]

@@KB-xp6dq that’s the point I was making. I know that he would do one move repeatedly repeatedly repeatedly hundreds of times in rehearsal, so that when it was time to do it for show it would appear effortless, spontaneous. and the genius of it was that once he had perfected those rehearsed moves, in future performances, he could truly did it spontaneously at will. Definitely a Virgo lol, if you believe in that sort of thing.

[@KB-xp6dq]

@@dancingwheels8494 For whatever it's worth, I also got to see him be a regular dad, so try to remember him as that - and not just a ridiculously talented performer. His kids were the sweetest and weren't the least bit spoiled or entitled. He did a great job as a dad before he left them and the rest of us. EDIT: I've written the whole story about my time at Neverland. Let me know if you want to read it.

[@dancingwheels8494]

@@KB-xp6dq well I’m glad you got that experience with him, but it is very hard for me to hear. When I was a teenager, I had a footballaccident that paralyzed me. I don’t know how, but Michael’s publicist Stuart Backerman called after talking to my parents to try to set up a meeting with Michael. Before plans could be finalized, Gavin told the lie that would ruin the chance that I dreamed about my entire life. I kept in touch with Backerman until he parted ways with Michael. He promised me that Michael got every message I passed along, but it was still extremely sad that I never got that chance.

When they 1st got on the scene they were tellin people Mike was 9, but he was really 11. That was done with all the brothers. Ya’ll do see the tall one in the middle right? He’s the oldest, Jackie. Next in age is at the far left, guitarist & bass vocalist, the late Tito. Next is far right eon bass, Jermaine, who had the most features besides Mike. next between Jackie & Tito was Marlon, & Michael is youngest of the original 5. Funny you mentioned Jermaine cause Jackie, the oldest, also liked Jermaine’s voice the most. If you hear the Christmas album, you get a sense of how mature his singin style was especially on classics like Have Yourself a Merry Christmas, & the Christmas Song. But the whole album is a great showcase of how amazing they were.

In his concerts, when he was an adult, MJ would always re-enact a medley of songs, starting with 'I Want You Back', into 'The Love You Save' and finishing with 'I'll Be There' and he would introduce the medley by saying "now we're gonna give you, the old songs, the old fashioned way" and it was to pay homage to the J5 performances over the years. The J5 appearances on the Ed Sullivan show were a massive boost to their popularity at the time.
