I'm just happy that this is someone King Michael personally approved of impersonating him. So good luck and God bless, Navi.
That was nice, and Michael would highly approve. Keep believing in the magic.
Michael d
Mj is still alive. He his address is in the outskirts of Cancun Mexico. He lives in a secluded white small mansion with an embroidered " p" "m" "p"

IA 7 I wish it was true but it isnt
"We can't ever go back to Neverland" He legit sounded like MJ tbh.
He does tho
0:29 true tho

Stop it 😑
He said "I wanted Michael to know I believed in him"Love this guy ❤️Rest in peace mj❤️the music industry will never be the same without him
Michael: I thought about owning a gun once. But then I realized there was too many people I wanna shoot.
Me: 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

He really would've earned the name King of Pop by owning a gun and using it.
I know that’s right!
@@richardsalmon2134 *POP POP POP*
LIFETIME better put some respect on his name
Bria Barrows they won't tho 😂😂 Lifetime is a huge mess . Look what they did with Britney movie. So bad 😂
Y'all finish or y'all done?
SrananKing based on book , I read it, it will be good.
why can't they have better pictures of MJ? MJ has hundreds of handsome pictures, why they pick bad pics?
Lisa. shut up! M Because they don't give a fuck about MJ, they're just out making money off of his name. Bad sells better than good, that's why they're deliberately doing that. Fuck this Hollywood bullshit.
Imagine the line "I thought about owning a gun, but I realised there are too many people I would want to shoot" in a great movie. Goddamn.
I HEAR THAT
Mintteacup 😂 love that part
@CreeWilly Scorsese was my first thought
That's how I felt after I saw Leaving Neverland
I’m sad that scene wasn’t in the film
But nobody can dance like Michael Jackson
Sumedh and Vidya gaikwad yes they can but they can’t put out the same energy he did
True
If you watch a video of michael dancing, and then watch an impersonator dance like him it would never even come close, no matter how hard they try
@@GlorytoGodprod I bet you're referring to bts like no fuck off bitch
True, they are a lot who impersonate him that are really great dancers, but there is really something about Michael dancing skills that no one can comes close, his swag his snap his energy while dancing is just out of this world
There's many Michael Jackson impersonators ... imitating dance, style, etc... but the very thing that is truly MISSING is Michael's
S M I L E .....
They can be twin jackson brother
That and the magic in his eyes
I don't care if he looks like him at all at least this is putting mj in a positive light instead of making a documentary on all his allegations that were not true.
I honestly couldnt agree more👏👏 the ones backlashin him are the main ones using the term "r.i.p" but how could he if he is being ridiculed even after death?
Could not agree more
Yas exactly!

Amen

“Smooth but NOT a Criminal”
-Navi
He is correct!
Navi is a great man he is so dedicated to keeping Michael alive
and pederastian
Eh
Shows how much he loved him if he managed to stand with such a poster in his tough times when everyone turned their back
L think he's a great man
Dick Thick'em you do realize the people who are prosecuting him are all known for doing crazy shit to get ahead

Here it is...
I watched navis show and he was lovely. I cried all the way through and he gave me and my mum free tickets and met us personally he is carrying Michael’s legacy perfectly
my reaction before i clicked on it was.. "oh no lifetime!! not again! not a Michael Jackson biopic too! But the actor sounds and acts just like him and it actually looks good! I just hope that they portray him honestly and get approval from the family because Michael deserves that
same here
Shenstar The actor does not look like Michael
Terrell A'mari well i said he sounds and acts like him.. Not that he looks exactly like him
Same feeling this guy is a true and real fan of micheal, he has done alot to just look like him so alof ot respect for him
Shenstar None of these lifetime biopics are good.
I'm happy he's doing it out of respect for Michael unlike other impersonators just for fame . R.I.P Michael Jackson 🙌🏽💞💞💞
Elizabeth Escobar yeah he even knew micheal and probably very well
His facial structure looks like michael’s but no one’s eyes can compare to the ones michael had
Or his smile!
Michael would’ve been so happy that Navi played him. 🥺♥️
True
Navi is amazing, such a lovely guy! I went to his concert a couple months ago and chatted with him later about performing and boy does he love to perform! MJ would be proud! Seeing him again next month, if you get a chance to see one of his shows then go! You won't regret it!
He really is I took my daughters to see him tonight it was fantastic x
You cannot adequately portray somebody as unique and iconic as Michael Jackson. Just leave it alone.
Ah, come on. You know you want to watch the movie to see what it is all about.
Michael .....lol... sorry . but that sounded cute how you said that
Laurie Solomon honestlyyy, good intentions or not no Matter what they do it's still gonna look like a imitation and mockery and I dont Fucking like it
They did. The Jacksons: American Dream was perfect.
Tinker B i feel like its kind of easier and more accurate when you see look alikes that take on michael looks in the 80s i just feel like ppl tryna copy his looks in the late 90s and 2000s is a mock idk i just dont like i wish they would just let an american ne the classic it already is we dont need nothing else and michael was alive to direct that movie himself
He did an amazing job , I like the fact that he worked for Michael before in the past so it made his role come to life even more ..watching it made me realize all the hurt Michael was going through all the judgments he had to endure through out his career is sad. He had a beautiful warm loving soul ..😢😢😖 He will forever be the King of MUSIC not just of POP.........R.I.P MJ👑
Considering I’ve known this dude for 10 years he’s actually not changed much since I met him he’s still a respectable human being just like the idol we share.
I miss Micheal so much it hurts my heart dearly.😔

"I'd be scared if a white actor played me" -MJ
This is what he looked like tho.,
@@Fartsquad_ At the time he said that, he was "white". He didn't want a white actor to play him and that was clear
@@Fartsquad_ he had a skin disorder and no matter what color he was he was still black
@@dxnivl5772 ?
It would horrifying if a white actor played me
Its sad to think that a man « wasted » his whole life and permanently changed his appearance just to impersonate a star. Even if he wants to honor him, its still sad.
Lay Alch, He had a chance to work with someone he cared about and as you say honor him. And made a great deal of money.
CLEMENTINE
That's his career though lol there's people who who go to watch him faithfully impersonate a dead man its definitely not minimum wage work 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
Sad no it’s amazing
he was so handsome before the surgeries too
I just got the chills watching that actor play MJ! He literally got his posture, his head movements, body language *everything* exact! Usually Lifetime does a shit job of casting well known artists in their biopics but this guy is amazing (and that's no small feat when your looking for a guy who looks as unique as MJ). I hope he can actually act tho!
I mean , this movie is based on the amazing book "remember the time" written by his bodyguards and it explains a period in his life almost nobody knows about. it shows the natural side of him, the dad, the human, a period when focused more in his children than in his music. This is the four years leading up to his death. He got no one to trust, just his children and his two bodyguards. He left neverland, and he was so hurt about society treating him like they did. The book is actually really good. its one of the fairest portrayals of Michael ive ever seen and im sure this movie will be the same
I actually liked the movie. It was a really good portrayal of Michael and I think it was the side of him that people like Martin Bashir failed to show. The whole movie felt genuine and relaxed, unlike the other movies where they focused on making him like so odd and erratic.
Love Navi✌😘 The absolute best impersonator of MJ out there.. The movie was excellent but so sad at times. Good enough to buy!
Can we buy it? What's it called? I want to see it
@@crystalmarks2735 remember the time: protecting Michael jackson in his final days
This is impressive! He actually looks a lot like Michael and he speaks like him. I hope that comes out a good tribute for him❤
Besides Jesus Himself there has never been more biopic's done on one other person in history.
elvis presley
Pancake mix powder face Flex Alexander was by far the worst most ridiculous INSULT casting in a movie for the role a Michael Jackson ever. American Dream was a really good one though, and so was this one. I suprisingly really liked it & I really wasn't expecting to at all, but Navi did brilliant for it. He still doesn't really look like Michael all that much to me compared to a lot of other MJ impersonators that I've seen before but he still did a really really good job with it. The casting in general for everybody was pretty good really...
Have you even heard of Elvis Presley?
Bruce Lee had quite a few
1:45 Damn, savage mj. Probably going to kill Sony
Everybody time for school
RUN TOMMY!!! RUUUUN!!!
"Thought about owning a gun once.
Then I realized there's too many people I'd wanna shoot"
Don't know why I laughed so hard at that! 🤣🤣
I just wish they would leave Michael alone and let him rest
Mighty Maya I agree my dad was so disapointed because of this,the king of pop didnt have time to sleep when he was alive and now he cant sleep in death
Amaya Boyd me too alot of pepole lie saying that he's alive
Mj is sleeping sweetly in his grave without a care in the world..the only people this is still affecting are the people close to him. its kinda rediculous theyre dragging this out till this day.
Amaya Boyd never!!!!! We all love him so shut da FUCK UP YOU CARELESS PERSON!!!!
Amaya Boyd he's took after much cuz he got higher iv sore in rl
ENOUGH ALREADY!!! MICHAEL APPROVED AND WORKED WITH NAVI & JOBY ROGERS, SO IF ANY OF THOSE TWO PLAY HIS PART IT WOULD BE OKAY.
We all know MJ was irreplaceable but it doesn't hurt to have one of his most dedicated and loyal fans turned impersonator to play him.
MICHAEL JACKSON'S SPIRIT WILL LIVE ON FOREVER!! PEACE BE UPON HIM!
They say the greatest compliment is impersonation
@@Sarah-cp1dt fake it till you make it
IDENTITY THEFT IS NOT A JOKE, MILLIONS OF FAMILIES SUFFER EVERY YEAR
I met this guy in 2003 through my job at the time and he is a really nice guy very down to earth 😊😊😊
I'm shook..
Really? This shocks you? Oh, Lord, really? LMAO I wonder what it would do to ya if you found out MJ was really alive.
Michael I said Shook not Shock lol nice try though
Shook, shock, shake. Same difference. lol Nice try tho.
Michael Seriously though?! Same difference?! Holy crap thanks for the good laugh lol not even going to bother to educate you, lord knows you can't fix stupid.
Honestly the only reason I am interested in this project is the involvement of Suzanne De Passe. She was one of the people behind "The Jacksons : An American Dream", the handler of Motown 25 and she actually knew Michael.
Lifetime is infamous to screw its biopics : Britney, Aaliyah, Whitney...
I don't expect much from this biopic. It might be better than "Man In the Mirror" but it doesn't mean much.
Pinklaeti The person portraying Michael knew and was a stunt double for Michael himself.
I loved the line where MJ said he'd thought about owning a gun, but there's to many he'd like to shoot. LOL Too cool. Not enough bullets?
Mary Sheppard I could imagine him saying that lol
Michael Jackson é único,nunca existirá outro IGUAL A ELE!!!!!
cierto, es tan genial
Can people at least be glad they didn't try to whitewash him like those Brits tried to do with that Urban Myths show? At least he is actually someone who is black. Michael would be much more happy with this project.
riley sunderland yeszs
yep actually its more realistic when a black person with white makeup plays michael compared to just a white person.
so what? navi is still black.
Dannii Simone she was saying that at least lifetime didn't pick a White actor like the Brits did in that show "Urban Myths"...
ImperfectbutRedeemed first off, I'm a she (don't worry not mad). And second, thank you that was the point I was trying to get across.
I was about to leave a very rude comment, until I realized it was Navi. him being personally hired by Michael to be his body double means alot... so this movie shouldn't be so bad... plus this is what's through the eyes of the bodyguards... Lifetime wrecked many biopics.... especially that Flex Alexander MJ portrayal.....
KittyNakafima Same!! The fact that it's Navi gives me hope that it would be good.
itsMayaWaya GIRL! THAT IS LEGIT THE WORST MJ BIOPIC EVER! GO LOOK IT UP 😂😂😂 YOU WILL BE PISSED!
Glad you guys are thinking before you try to hate...🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
KittyNakafima
Flex's impersonation was just terrible😒
Princess Joseph lmfao I know!
there will never ever ever be other Micheal Jackson he was the BEST EVER.... R.I.P⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘
i actually remember me watching this on the tv at just 9-10 years old and since then i always wanted to watch this documentary. im 15 now and i watched it for the first time maybe 11months ago and i instantly fell in love with it. this is my fav documentary from mj.
I would like to play young Michael, someday. As long as BET does the movie.
Soluchi {Michael Jackson Lookalike, Dancer, VFX} i want to play young michael too
Soluchi {Michael Jackson Lookalike, Dancer, VFX} Hell No. No thank you.
Soluchi {Michael Jackson Lookalike, Dancer, VFX} I love your profile pic. It has both MJ and Tupac
@@hyliannerd4541 Lol
@@hyliannerd4541 i know your ass didnt just say tupac. Are you out your mind??
I hope Paris goes to the set and helps them with everything and make sure they get it right !
Since Michael Jackson is still alive he should be the one playing the actor
Not true
Why didn’t they just hire Miranda Cosgrove?
You better stop!
Get Out shut up goof
HAHAHCFHBVHF
Odelay Derado fuck off
Fuck you 😂😂😂😂💀💀💀
Sorry, I just can't picture anybody playing Michael, he is just too unique and beautiful to me. BUT this seems to be decent so it better be good.
Had the pleasure of meeting Navi, we really connected and you can tell he had a huge passion for what he does
The 40 something 😂😂
Never seen that part of blanket pressing the panic button in the movie
Yeah, I think they cut that scene :/
Indi Sugar Taufik 🙄🙄 I really wish they didn’t do that
The book was great, we'll see how this turns out.
I Will never forget June 25th 2009...That Morning we all lost a Man that we loved and Grew up watching When I was a Kid i use to rush home to watch one of MJs Concerts on VH1 and his lil movie clips he made I Still have the Concert recorded on VHS Thank You Mike for being apart of everyones childhood ...Rest in Paradise Mike
Fun Fact: Michael Jackson was an actual king, King Sani, of a small african village
It might be interesting if he wrote a book describing the 17 years with MJ.
Lifetime is going to fuck this up.
I hate why people is still obsessed on copying Michael when there is just one Michael.
Well I dont think you could call this "keep Michael Jackson life in memory" as the scene is something completely fake, Michael wasn't ike this. So they should let him in peace.
Well first of all I don't know you so it's kinda strange from you saying i'm very attractive (sexist btw) and well him is no t actually a "new man" bc michael paid him to work as his double but what I'm referring to is the story in that scene.
Well it's the ultimate compliment for any artist, just think of it that way.
raquel serra that man right there is Michael's double and worked with him for a long time, pff and you ppl call yourself Michael Jackson's fans!
raquel serra you damn right,there are alot of wanna be Look alike there was only one MJ i will Always Love him they cant leave him alone copycats
*Ok but can we just talk about how Mj looked SOOOO ADORABLE in **1:00** ughhhh he’s so cute I wanna pinch those damn cheeks, what era was that? Lol*
Panda Express Tae that's bad era ☺️
Well someone’s out of a job

No he's not...millions of people still love Michael Jackson and will hire this man as an impersonator...those two liars will get what's coming to them...said he didnt do it under oath and then come back over a decade later and say he did.
LoverofGOD Always issa joke
Glad it ain't Flex Washington 😂😂😂😂
Quensel Lawrence I literally Just Watched That
Quensel Lawrence 😂😂
💀💀💀💀😂😂😂😂 Damn, They Shoul Hell Did Have #FlexAlexander Trying To Be #Mj And Let Me Jus Say That Was A Bigg #HellNaw 😂 I Was Like Are They Serious...Omg I Can't With These Comments😂😂😂😂😂
Best comment in the section.😂😂😂
Quensel Lawrence, that was not a good movie. It made Michael look so bad. I like Flex Washington. But he was not a good Michael.
even if they did make a movie for Michael why can't they use that RUclips he laughed just like him,and trying to be mean but lifetime is getting on my nerves with these lifetimes movies about these stars when they obviously don't have permission to make these movies,its just too much sometimes
When will be a movie????
This is the right time to do it!!!!
Please!
I saw the movie and , unlike some others, I believe this one. Makes a lot of sense. Good job Navi.
Ed The first searching for Neverland
Why so much negativity? This looks so good! Navi, looks so Natural with his Makeup, and it's gonna be so much better than the "Man In The Mirror" that came out, it's not even comparable! I really don't understand the negative comments. If you don't know Navi, and haven't been to his shows, I guess people are going to have a really bad judgement on him, but trust me this man is going to do his very best, he strives for the best! He always does, in his shows, and when this comes out, he'll prove people wrong I know it! People say he doesn't look like Michael.. are you crazy, he really does!
Exactly, well said. Thank you.
0:30 Fuck. OMG that's heavy. Poor MJ, we didn't deserve him.
This movie was EXCELLENT for a change lifetime!
MJ was the King of Pop nobody can stop. Nobody can't do it like Michael Jackson
I think you don't have to think about the race of person but, when Michael died he had vitiligo destroying his pigmentation so his skin was lighter than what it used to be but he is obviously black, so what's the matter if this guy's #blackorwhite ? He looks like Michael and I wish him very good luck. I'mma love that movie
"I thought about owning a gun once. Then, I realized, there are probably too many people I would want to shoot." Why was his dad the first person who popped into my mind? Michael suffered so much. That line truly broke my heart.
THIS IS SO weird to me omg😢 we missing you Michael rest well we love you FOREVER❤
I looooooooovvvvvveeeee Michael Jackson and I like that some one kears and remembers some one like him
just leave it alone...after that Flex movie I don't wanna see another one. Let The Jackson's American Dream just reign supreme.
James Malik I watch the American Dream one all the time!
Dominique McCoy Me too. Always loved that movie.
Dominique YES, still a classic!
You said it James!! There was no better portrayal of the Jackson family-and Michael, with the late superb Wiley Draper playing him-than that 1992 miniseries.
This movie was nothing like that Flex joke. Navi actually portrayed Michael beautifully and with heart. I was embarressed to see the Flex one. lol
He's a good impersonator.. He's really a true and loyal fan of MJ.. I saw him in Michael Jackson Special in Lifetime channel, it's true he's dedicated to proved to ther other people how great artist is MJ..MJ is the greatest artistof all times. 😍😁👍👌
I love Michael Jackson 😍❤️
Navi, River Gibbs, Michael Trapson, and Jeffery Perez are all Michael Jackson impersonators
River Gibbs is not he turn his back on mj and on mj fans did river
I love Navi and Michael Trapson hahaha. They are the best!
This makes me want to be more aware weather or not he is real when i watch mj performances
More love Navi. He is perfect. And he loved Michael too.
no no nobody can compare Michael Jackson he is a legend nobody can never place him he is so smart so dashing so cute so polite so kind hearted person so loving person he shouldn't die. is he really come back? pls Michael come back i love u so much n miss u so much 😘😭😭😭
No one sings, dance, acts like Michael Jackson. He is the best!!!!!
Well we can say that the Michael Jackson fans got BAMBOOZLED by his decoy lol
I loveeee MICHAEL JACKSON😎👏👌
He did so well as Michael loved this
You are Michael Jackson inside my heart you are and I’m excited to meet you this time on November. Hooray I’m excited.
Is this a joke???
n nicky how? Hes clearly does
Haddy Gaye n9
Wow, he looks and acts just like Michael Jackson!! 👏👏👏
I miss the real Michael Jackson :(
me too!!
Not that nose
Michael's voice is still a little bit more soft and high pitched than this guy.
He does not look like michael. He looks like somebody
I've seen the lifetime movie of Michael Jackson. I think it's a good one. The Jackson are very private and what they say went on. I can believe it. There will never be other Michael Jackson but this guy I remember him playing his double when the real Michael was alive.
They should of portrayed MJ’s natural-born look, they’re it look like his skin discoloration was what he was best known for.
nope... he does not look like Michael
Nobody looks like Michael and there should not be a bio pic or portrayal of him. It will never do him justice.
Compared to other ones I have seen, that Michael could have picked. I would say Michael picked him to play him for good reason. I feel the making of this movie is for a very good reason too, so don't miss seeing it.
Ecasanova look like Michael they should of pick him
Of course not wth
spidess111 E is still alive and well. He's performing in Japan a lot.
So much plastic surgery going on that it is painful to stare at his face.
and he still looks very different. in fact he always was one of the impersenators that where easy to spot!
So rude!
to be fair he looks better without makeup.
Very True!
DioMa That's not nice.
So when exactly is this coming out?
I am so lucky! I got to see this guy live completely freeee! XD He came to my hometown Wareham (Not far from Bournemouth) And I only had to walk 10 minutes to go and see :3
It's 2019. Is this movie out yet?
Ye type searching for neverland On dailymotion it came out in 2017
at least he looks better then Flex playing Micheal..i wanted to moonwalk away from the tv when i first seen that movie
Raymond Johnson lol
Raymond Johnson lol why??
Ashley shim that movie was terrible..Flex as Mj?he ridicously tall..face was pasty he just looked out of place..well you be the judge
