I watch that and its not like "he is really good for a 13 year old". I watch it and im thinking that is one of the most talented performers i have ever seen and he is only 13. As he gets older he confirms it here:

I guess I "appreciate" his "talent", but I really have never liked a single song of his...sorry. BUT..Can you imagine if The Jackson 5 had happened now instead of then? It would have been unreal..think Jonas Brothers, that stupid Timberlake abortion, In Sync all rolled into one. Gazillions I tell ya', gazillions...

It wouldn't have been that big of a deal. They were awkward looking on stage except Michael.

One of the main reasons why they were successful is because Barry Gordy took the black out of them so that white people could relate to them and feel comfortable watching them perform.

Take their "talent' and move it up 20 years, polish it, market it and Michael would have carried it.

and i agree with the Barry Gordy thing..different ball game back then

I always thought that his performance (although it was probably lip synced) on the Motown 25th special was his coming out party.

My favorite was "Saginaw, Michigan" We were talking about Stonewall Jackson, right?

I was never a big fan, not my type of music but he was undeniably talented and responsible for the music video and MTV. A troubled man, hope he has found peace (I believe he has)...favorite song??? I guess Thriller for the theatrical effect.
