On the Victory Tour, they never performed “The Love You Save” in the entire format (only in the “I Want You Back J5 Medley”) plus Jackie Jackson didn’t participate in the entire concert due to healing from an ankle injury. Also, The Jacksons (save Randy and Michael only Michael’s sequin shirt was very different) never wore those outfits on any of the Victory Tour concerts. As for The Jackson 5 performances, the choreography was all inaccurate (eg “I Want You Back” and “Dancing Machine”). Tito Jackson never had a Jheri curl either. The Jacksons American Dream really messed up and they knew better.

Michael was Michael. He is inimitable.

I love alot of music biographies: from The Temptations, The Jackson's, Ray Charles, and even the non fiction 5 heartbeats. Micheal will always be missed. Imitated never duplicated 🙏🏾🙌🏾

Well...this is the best surprise that I have ever seen. I gotta say the cast who did the Jacksons movie, maaan they did a great job. And most of all, rest in heavenly peace who was cast as an older Michael Jackson, Wylie Draper. He died a year later, succumbing to leukemia. He was 24. Btw who cannot forget Terrence Howard, who did portrayed as Jackie Jackson! ❤❤❤

Jason really did great job playing Michael as a kid fr fr 💯💯💯💯💯

This used to be my favorite movie

Esa pelicula es imperdible...un sueño Americano ❤

Both were really good 👍, but, M.J. was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 pp

I loved Wylie Draper's performance. He captured Michael's essence and personality well. I'm hoping Jafaar does as well

Jason did fantastic job as young Micheal very charismatic performance why didn't his career not sky rockey after this?

I used to watch this every day

The last 2 clips was perfect. 😍

The guy playing little Mike (Jason Weaver) released an album shortly after his performance. It probably inspired him.

What people don’t realize is Jason Weaver really sang that song that boy can sang😮

My Boy!! Michael Jackson Doing The James Brown Moves 🎶🎶.

The last scene is from the fictional reenactment of the “Victory Tour”.

Best mJ biopic to date, lets see how his nephew does. But this will always be my favorite

Why they chose not to use the classic IWYB original choreography in the movie is beyond me and the classic choreography for I wanna be where you are but hey CAN'T NOBODY DANCE LIKE THE REAL #J5 #dropdamic 🎤

No new film will ever beat the jacksons biopic for me, but i will give it a chance 😊

Jason Weaver 🙌

Putting aside that one was a tragedy, I feel like the Motown 25 Billie Jean performance was the Gen X version of "Where were you when Kennedy was shot." Everyone remembers where they were when they saw it for the first time.

Please do I have the permission to say, The multiverse? Michael is still alive somewhere in those other worlds... Maybe younger, maybe older, and in some he's still gone... God bless you all.
