There is a scene in the made for tv movie about the Jackson 5, Were Joe basically lights into them because of The Osmonds, when I watch this clip, THIS is what I think of and why he was worried. Both groups of brothers were very talented and at that time very similar...but of course, Michael basically blew them all away.

When I was a teenager l had my bedroom walls covered in Osmond posters, Elvis, and The Jackson Five. When I moved out. My mom left the posters hanging on the walls. When she passed away in 1990. I inherited the property. I moved back in the house. I left the posters hanging on the walls for several years. I took them down in 1996. I rolled them up and put them in the closet. I still have them as of 2021.

@carlagirl7

4 жыл бұрын

James Hegarty Hi! Yes, it’s true.... I totally remember the controversy around it.... George Jackson (no relation to the Jackson Five (or J5 as they were known) wrote the song with the Jackson Five in mind...Motown had its own policy as to who could write or submit songs for the J5, and at that time most of the songs were written and produced by a team known as “The Corporation “ which consisted of Holland, Dozier and Holland and Berry Gordy himself. If you were not a songwriter under contract at Motown, you would not even have been considered. It was this rule that eventually made the Jackson Five leave Motown and split up the group as Jermaine was married to Hazel Gordy (Berry Gordy’ s daughter) and Jermaine decides to stay at Motown. The group wanted to write and produce their own songs....and Berry would not let them.... ( there is sooo much money to be made when a singer can write their own songs). It also cost the Jackson Five the loss of their name as Motown had put it in their contract that they owned all rights to it... Thus the group was renamed The Jacksons, signed with Epic Records and the rest is history.....The Jackson’s would eventually have their own hits writing and producing such songs as “Shake Your Body” , “ Can You Feel It” and “Heartbreak Hotel”.... and we all know about Michael....In fact Michael told Berry Gordy the only way he would do “Motown 25” was if he was allowed to perform “Billie Jean” (a song that he had written and produced). That performance took Michael’s career to a whole nother level.....When Donny was wanting to make his comeback years later ..... he consulted Michael and ask what to do and was told “ You should release the record but don’t have your name revealed....let the talent talk for you”... Donny did and “ Soldier Of Love” launched his comeback....(Sorry the answer is sooo long but I love trivia and pop culture !)

How did I just now come upon this?? I had no clue the Osmonds were ever this "rebellious." The long hair, the lyrics, the dancing! The choreography is amazing. I can't stop watching.

The Osmonds! I loved this song. Love those groovy uniforms. The dancing.. the singing. The voices. The hair. Those smiles. Those Osmond boys. They are all so hot!

Perfection in dancing, singing

50 years ago today! I remember it like it was yesterday. I was 12 years old and it was on this day I developed the crush that would last for the next 3 1/2 years. I just thought Donny Osmond was the cutest thing alive. I spent my allowances on Osmond brothers albums, bought all the teeny bopper magazines with him in them, had posters all over my walls and drove my mother up a wall. It's so hard to believe all that started 50 years ago. I can still sort of see what I saw then but this time around I'm more amazed at how well they danced. Someone must've worked hard on their choreography.

Great example of how hard the Osmonds worked to craft an entertaining show. They earned their success.

The Osmonds are an amazing talent! Agreed 100%! The moves, the beat, and the performance is awesome!

They also had martial arts training from Chuck Norris at one time in their life...they have a dance/music/martial arts routine in one video where they incorporate some of it...kicking, breaking boards...They are the real deal, I know...I have been in marital arts for over 35 years and taught for many years.

Nothing has ever compared to the harmonizing and dance moves.

Eric Dangerfield the Jacksons were amazing and incredibly talented, but there is really no comparison on talent..every single one of the Osmonds played more than one instrument..they were true musicians, and their harmonies were second to none..the Jacksons all had great voices, but rarely harmonized because they focused more on dance moves..The Osmonds could and did both..they were known as the “one take” Osmonds for a reason..but don’t get me wrong, I’m not throwing shade at the Jacksons at all..they are still one of my favorite groups from the 70’s, but if you do some research, you’ll find that the Jacksons openly admitted to being fans of and strived to be more like The Osmonds

@@blinddawgraye Uhm, no! Of the Jackson 5, only Michael, and Jermaine could carry a tune. Michael was the dancer. Marlon was marginal. And only two were musicians. (Excluding percussion) But, there's no question which group had the bigger impact on the industry. None. And if we're talking about number one hits, it isn't even close. However, the Osmonds had more pure vocalists than the J5, and could dance better. (as a unit, excluding Michael)

What a A Very Talented Family...This Song is very Catchy and the Choreography is Brilliant...A Lot of Hard Work No Doubt but a Lot of Very Natural Talent...Love It :)

Q❤ thank you David Osmond for sharing this video

Choreography is on fire!

Hi Paul Look like Jackson 5

One of the best songs for me! Melody, voices, lyrics,dance... everything! Terrific! Perfect!!

To do that dance with such synchrony on that small stage without falling off is amazing! Dancers can relate. But dancing and singing at the same time...... incredible! ❤❤

Unbelievable!! You don't see this anymore! Each one has/has their own distinct singing voice and could carry a note! Each one could dance to some truly difficult, but Awesome choreography! I can't think of any group that can compete with the Osmond Brothers!!

I just love it, they could sure dance and those voices, what a blast from the past, awesome

Hello Gail, How are you doing?

I know it looks funny now, but these dance moves were hot at the time, that was how it was. The guys were perfectly in time with the moves and the sound, it's all done with enormous enthusiasm and you can see they're giving it all they've got, which is considerable. They'd all been performing since they were little boys, they were consummate professionals. People loved them, parents and kids alike. Crazy now, but those were better times in some ways.

It doesn't look funny. They move better than the crappy boy bands there are these days.

LOVE the choreography!!!! Ahh, the good ol' days when I was 10!

This performance is simply amazing. Donny & Merrill are outstaning as always. Donny your talent for dancing and singing knows no bounds. Congratulations Donny!

We just attended the Donny Osmond show in Las Vegas. It was amazing and we have been going back and finding all of these wonderful performances and appreciating them so much.

Those costumes are fantastic. I love the black with glitter.

Playing Osmond's records in High School in the 70's😄 A totally different world now ☹️

I absolutely love this song & dance!

I make my living doing music. Live performance is not for the weak. The Osmonds ALWAYS go hard.

Why can't I stop watching this ??

Merril has a kick ass raspy rock voice. He kills it in YoYo too.

He could have taken over lead vocals in AC/DC when Bon Scott passed

I grew up in Huntington Beach California and went to Crestview Elementary when this was popular. In fact not only am I the same age as Donny Osmond we share the same birthday. I personally liked the Osmonds and the J5 about the same as most did other kids. The young girls all had teenie bopper crushes on Donny Osmond. I think Michael Jackson was a little younger. But these boys along with the Jackson's were well liked equally and all good clean cut boys.
