Much love to Wylie Draper. He held down his part in this movie. True dedication. I can't picture anyone getting closer to MJ himself on screen.

Jaafar Jackson:👀

RIP to them both... 2 Beautiful souls gone too soon. What I have noticed, is when Tribute Artists perform Billie Jean, they forget that Michael did the Moonwalk a 2nd time at the end of the performance. Wylie definitely captured the essence and did an amazing job. The best I've seen thus far (other than Michael of course).

Rip Wylie Draper. 😔 he has so much potential as an actor as an actor, and aced his role as the king of pop.

The actor who performed this did a damn near perfect job. Rated 10

When Michael called Wylie Draper he said " when you do that performance, don't make me look bad" after seeing it then Michael called back and said " whoa whoa I said don't make me look bad, but don't make yourself look so good!" Lol Wylie did and excellent job may they both rest in peace!

Probably the closest Hollywood has ever gotten to a Michael Jackson look-alike

This guy did a great emulation to Michael Jackson's dance moves in the Motown 25 performance. This is the best impersonator I have seen. However, in the filmmaking part of this, there were too many close-ups. They should have showed more far angles so you can see his dance moves more.

Impressive. The critics were trying to say it looked too "pantomine" but I think what was more important is that a new genre could witness what I saw first hand as a 15-year-old! What impressed me when I witnessed it that night was how MJ was giving his ALL.

Aside from the glove being on his right hand (whereas Michael wore it on his left for Motown 25), and some of the dance moves being a little slow...this is still the best recreation we'll likely ever see for a film. Wylie Draper worked his butt off; you can tell he must have studied MJ's performance many times over. His lip-synching is almost perfect, as well.

MJ began wearing a glove partially to cover his "Vitiligo Blasts" he had on his hand in the early '80s' as portrayed in "Man in the Mirror: The Michael Jackson Story". It is considered a spiritual 2 this & doesn't sugar-coat as this miniseries does, which isn't surprising as Motown w/Jermaine Jackson produced the miniseries!!😜

The drums have been dubbed a bit more. Then it's also got hand claps to highlight the fact it's a live performance. As everyone was actually clapping at the real performance. You're all welcome.
