Wow, thank you for letting me know Tito passed. I had no idea! It just happened recently and I never heard a blip about it until seeing your comment. It's getting hard seeing so many of our legends transition to non-physical in what feels like much too soon! I still miss Michael literally every single day. May these titans of entertainment and O.G. American idols deservedly rest easy. Shout out to angelic mama Katherine Jackson for her incredible accomplishments as the matriarch and creator of this iconic American dynasty. Much love! ❤
For all the comments saying, "He did good, but there'll never be another MichaelJackson," save it. Just enjoy the performance. These boys all put in the work and did great
Jason Weaver (black American) did incredible job playing MJ and singing. The person who casted a non black American did a disservice. And the boy has an accent, which made things worst
They did their thing the Jackson Family would be extremely proud, everyone let’s give the kids some grace they’re performing in some cold weather lol!😇💖⭐️
Outstanding performance! I miss music and dancing like this. I remember seeing The Jackson 5 on The Ed Sullivan Show. This brings back sweet memories of that time. They are legends, and these performers did a fantastic job emulating them. They are so talented!
By a few of these comments. You would think someone told these crazy people posting on here this was a replacement for the Jackson 5. These guys are doing a performance, acting out some of the Real Jackson 5 performances. People do plays and stuff like this all the time. They did great. They are young guys putting in good work. Regardless of where they are from. Bravo!!
@@QLioness6262 Yes I had actually forgotten about it and I have to say when I first heard that it was coming about, I had no desire to see it either but after seeing them I am looking to see if it will be coming my way.
hey they did amazing everyone! Let’s please keep this respectful. For those of you who are judging rather harshly and saying sensitive things, I want you to go try to do what these incredible individuals are doing and come back and tell me how you do. Other than that let’s please, please, please be respectful ☺️
They literally just did a WHOLE HIIT exercise routine (seriously try moving JUST like they did - and don’t forget to add stair and stage choreography - for 3 minutes lol), WHILST SINGING LIVE. Understand that too, as you watch :) 💪🏾🔥
There were 5 humans on that stage - and also 5 usually on the stage in the original group…alllll of them are putting in work on that stage - they all were/ are doing big, great things - EACH and every one of them!
Good effort honestly, just work on breathing , getting every on beat and you got it ! Nothing wrong with being honest and nice , real professionals want the truth so they can get better .MJ is hard stuff so yes damn good guys but keep working like all of us ❤
For yall judging so heavily, there’s a reason they’re on Broadway and you’re on your phone complaining about everything💀(nonetheless a literal child on Broadway vs you) gosh you folks are just miserable. It was a great and fun performance
Everyone is trying to be nice but not say the obvious. It's off beat!!! I said it! Now, the reasoning is not anything on them, more than likely the sound is off, specifically l, ear monitors. They are probably having trouble hearing the music/backing tracks. I say this because they are all equally off in timing but in the same time together (if you get it). They sound AMAZING and dancing is DOPE!!!
@@thomastaylor1217 those people are not AMERICAN that's why they're off beat , look different and sound is off. A Caribbean or African would not see or feel that.
Yheah you are right. They where not as sharp as it should be sometimes. But they still were good. Also it is just a musical troupe who's performing in a musical about the Jackson 5. Right?...they are not a real group. So why would they be as sharp and on point as the Real Jackson 5.
Stair choreography combined with stage choreography WHILST singing + filming the sequence multiple times in a tight frame, isn’t a joke lol.. they ROCKED it💪🏾
Ok people, they are a musical troupe for a musical about the Jackson 5. They are not a real singing group. They are performers in a play. They did very well in that. you few negative nay sayers need to get out more.
Were the Jackson's originally from England...those kids were great but you can tell they are not from the states...I love the Jackson 5 ...I think someone dropped the ball...
For all the people who are hating on this performance, can you even imagine how hard it had to be to find a literal CHILD who could even come close to MJ when he was 10 or 11? There's never been one! In all of human history!
They’ve come to the show multiple times (Jackson 5 including Tito and MJ kids), and come backstage and to events multiple times. Plus their estate approved the musical. They have told us stories that were bought up from scenes in the show. They are with it :)
These Broadway adaptions of pop music artists make the choreography unnecessarily complicated and really take away some of the “authenticity”. I get trying to put some individualistic spin on the original concepts, but a lot of these musicals based on popular artists really take liberties with the music and dancing that really feel out of place when telling the story of the subjects of the show.
@@jamesd1590This is choreography created and authorized to represent MJ: The Musical using cast members from the show (Broadway or touring company)… Regardless of whether or not this actual staging appears in the show, it is showcasing what the audience should expect to see if/when they see the show. What I see here is something overly complicated to what the original routines looked like. The same can be said about the way that the Broadway choreographers made routines for “Ain’t Too Proud”, “Motown the Musical”, “Beautiful: The Carole King Musical”, “Jersey Boys” and other similar shows where the modern stylization is actually a distracting element to audience member who might be hoping for something more authentic to the sound, look and style of the actual era.
@@jamesd1590And just making a totally separate comment to say - these guys are great performers! This is more of a commentary on the creatives who stage these things and the authorized companies/estates who give their approval.
@@mwmacis understood. And I can see how some things can be distracting, disappointing. I think that goes to what the goal of the show is and it being on a stage vs say; a tv or movie screen - for example; Who is the story being told to, how to keep people coming to see the show, etc...there are many, many reasons choices are made, for each show. Difficult to appease any one set of preferences when striving for multiple goals..
I wanna say on my behalf of Motown and all New York fans of the Jackson 5 and to my brother Michael Jackson to i let everybody know that I saw them once in Toronto live they were very good and they did very good job doing The tribute to them I got bad news one of members was in band is about our beloved Tito Jackson this was back in September 15 2024 he was in Gallup New Mexico he was travelling to claremore Oklahoma he had stopped his car he had chest pains and his left arm was having shooting pains and he was found in his car while having it the car was off and he had died from a heart attack and passed away from it at age of 70 years old I just let everybody know that because of him he was the code founder of Motown music he was doing all base guitar for all songs in the background with the band I remember when back in the 70’s they were on Ed Sullivan show that’s when they came to be the Jackson 5 since in March the 3rd 1983 the anniversary show of 25 years of Motown that’s when our beloved Michael had changed the colour Barrier for all different race and ethnics around the world because of his iconic performance of Billie Jean it became a music video for the thriller album and did live concerts for bad album and dangerous album and history album to it became a song track for his classic Pepsi ad in 1984 with Alfonso riberito he was guy who played Alfonso spears on sliver spoons in time when he did the ad he was waring his iconic beat it outfit that never since in the mid 1996 he played Carlton banks on fresh prince of bel air with will smith and he was close friend with Mr Quincy jones bad news about him also he passed away on November 3 of this year 2024 he was the guy who did the theme song for Mike Myers iconic movie of Austin powers international man of mystery also for part 2 the spy who shagged me and Austin powers in goldmember and for fresh prince of bel air to he worked with all different Motown stars like Diana Ross and some rest one them in the 90’s like Beyonce and more iconic ones like Brittany spears they were guest stars in all Austin power’s including most sexy ones like Elizabeth Harley to and heather graham al to because of Tito Jackson he was very close friends with Beyoncé and Brittany spears to because of there iconic songs like love on top by Beyoncé it sounds like has the Jackson 5 sounds vibes of the music video that’s he was influenced by her music so I just let everybody know that to
This BS again immigrants playing our BLACK AMERICAN ICONS again. And those people don't even look like the Jacksons and our beloved Jacksons don't have Caribbean accents.
I came to the comments to see if it was just me 😂 It was an okay effort but the lead needs more practice. To those saying “it’s hard to do this” - that’s the point. You need to be highly skilled to take on this role. Otherwise it will fall FLAT because this sequence is so iconic. The Jacksons made it look easy because of their raw talent but also because of the very hard work they put in. While I doubt J5 can ever be duplicated, this didn’t even come close…
You're the only other person in this comment section that has mentioned that. I tell people to share this on all social media and boycott just like we did with the other BS they tried to put past us.
Sounds like self hate to me. The Jackson 5 are idolized all over the world . These are still black young men performing . Regardless if they are all American or not. Our black American culture is still an important inspiration to all our people across the globe. Just like black Americans embrace the music of the Caribbean, Africa , and other black people of the world. Other black people can embrace black American music. That's not hating you . That's praising your culture. Plus, if they aren't American. I have seen plenty of American Black people do Jackson 5 performances. Stop dividing our people so deeply.
It is difficult to dance and sing at the same time. Great job!
I guess so. 👏
There was only one Michael.
Not for the REAL Jackson 5😂😂
No, it's not.
@@confidentialprivateusa6519 lets see you do it then 🤓
Awesome job,guys!
R.I.P. to Michael and Tito.
Wow, thank you for letting me know Tito passed. I had no idea! It just happened recently and I never heard a blip about it until seeing your comment.

❤❤❤❤my baby Avilon is Jermaine Jackson ⬆️ Proud Mom here!!! They all did an excellent job while singing live & dancing because it ain’t easy 👏🏿 👏🏿 👏🏿
Beautiful performance ❤️ Bless you and your incredible son. 🙏🏾🙌🏾😊
He did a wonderful job! The others were great too. Singing & dancing live is definitely not an easy task!
Congrats Momma Avion... from proud Momma Blu! They are amazing❤
Excellent job to all young men! Mom you have every reason to be proud with head up high and chest out.❤❤❤👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
What’s the names of the other members of this cast, especially Michael? I hear an accent. Awesome job young men!!!
People do not understand how difficult it is to do what they just did and live outside in the cold too! Amazing job guys!!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
They ATE THIS DOWNNNN! Such GREAT breath control! Really amazing job!
You literally are just making up stuff. So sad that younger generations don’t know what real talent is
Standing ovation 👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
It's a big challenge to memorize lyrics and choreography at the same time. These young men nailed it.
For all the comments saying, "He did good, but there'll never be another MichaelJackson," save it. Just enjoy the performance. These boys all put in the work and did great
Nope didn't do good at all. The accent doesn't help either.
I don't think I see anyone commenting that, well except for Copernicus over here ^^
They should be playing their own icons not us AMERICANS. That accent and that weird look didn't help.
Jason Weaver (black American) did incredible job playing MJ and singing. The person who casted a non black American did a disservice. And the boy has an accent, which made things worst
Casting a british actor makes absolutely no sense. Neither does casting actors that look nothing like the Jacksons.
Nailed it Michael Jackson forever ❤️❤❤
Wow... 👏 👏 👏 👏
You guys represented frfr.
Rest In Power Michael and Tito Jackson.
🙏
Detroit will always be MOTOWN.
They did their thing the Jackson Family would be extremely proud, everyone let’s give the kids some grace they’re performing in some cold weather lol!😇💖⭐️
Let's not give these foreigners grace for imitation of us AMERICANS.
Oh, they killed this performance!
What an amazing performance! I was mesmerized .They did a great job!!!
Awesome! I wasn’t interested in going to see MJ on Broadway but this changed my mind.
Go if you can . Great play I saw the traveling tour
Outstanding performance! I miss music and dancing like this. I remember seeing The Jackson 5 on The Ed Sullivan Show. This brings back sweet memories of that time. They are legends, and these performers did a fantastic job emulating them. They are so talented!
BREATH CONRTOL !!!!! WOW
They did an "AWESOME JOB"!!! Loved it !!!
The one casted as Michael is incredible!
They represent Michael and the Jackson five very very well. This made me smile. 😊
It is so hard to dance and sing like that... damn but the boy ate it...❤❤❤❤
They were amazing, they really put a lot of effort in it and it shines ✨
They did a wonderful job acting and performing just like them😂❤
I WANT U BLACK!!!
These are not American Blacks

hayyyy true...these perfect people everywhere commenting in social media lol
ABSOLUTELY!!!! EVERYONE DID AMAZING!!! IM LITERALLY BLOWN AWAY!!!!! WOWWWW
Before this performance I had no desire to see the musical. They DEFINITELY changed my mind. Can't wait to see it!!!!!!! 💃🏽🕺🏽
It is SOO much fun! You’ll see :)
@@QLioness6262 Yes I had actually forgotten about it and I have to say when I first heard that it was coming about, I had no desire to see it either but after seeing them I am looking to see if it will be coming my way.
These young men are awesome!!! Adding tickets to my Christmas list.
🎉yessssss - you will have big fun!
This was EXCELLENT.
SO GOOD! I THOUGHT I WAS WATCHING THE "JACKSON 5!!" EXCELLENTE'!!! TFS❣
hey they did amazing everyone! Let’s please keep this respectful. For those of you who are judging rather harshly and saying sensitive things, I want you to go try to do what these incredible individuals are doing and come back and tell me how you do. Other than that let’s please, please, please be respectful ☺️
These guys were brilliant that singing is awesome and the dance moves wow great job
They literally just did a WHOLE HIIT exercise routine (seriously try moving JUST like they did - and don’t forget to add stair and stage choreography - for 3 minutes lol), WHILST SINGING LIVE. Understand that too, as you watch :) 💪🏾🔥
This was the highlight of the Special!
It is amazing all ages know the Jackson five. What a legacy.
Great Job! The Christmas show was very entertaining! Did wonderful job , OMG !
❤❤❤ Good Job Guys that’s some hard choreography along with the music
They were Awesome!!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Michael Jackson is a difficult person to play because we are so familiar with him.
He did good,,but there will never be another young Michael Jackson...he paved the way for so many artists...
Goes to show his legacy is transcending all generations. That is his greatness!!
No he was DAMN GOOD 👍🏾
You should replace “but” with “and”. 😊
Unnecessary comment. Of course MJ can't be reproduced.
There were 5 humans on that stage - and also 5 usually on the stage in the original group…alllll of them are putting in work on that stage - they all were/ are doing big, great things - EACH and every one of them!
This was INCREDIBLE!!!!! ❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥
Michael Jackson legend
Awesome job boys!
I’m embarrassed 🙈 exhausted just watching 😮💨
Good effort honestly, just work on breathing , getting every on beat and you got it ! Nothing wrong with being honest and nice , real professionals want the truth so they can get better .MJ is hard stuff so yes damn good guys but keep working like all of us ❤
Omg they sound so good I will go see them
Great job, but I would like to see them enjoy the moment and what they are singing.
Nice job, but micheal jackson voice was so pure and angelic 😍 and beautiful it can never be duplicated.
Michael Jackson voice was filled with foreign accent. This whole USA they couldn't find an AMERICAN ?
They did a great job especially the one acting as Michael
Love the performance! 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Wow I enjoy the singing, My eyes 👁️👁️ was glue watching with Big Smiles

And how long can this kid play this part before his voice changes?
Great job guys I enjoyed watching this.
Now i wanna see the full musical! ❤❤
Cool merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 😎 😊michael jackson ♥ ❤ 😀 💖
For yall judging so heavily, there’s a reason they’re on Broadway and you’re on your phone complaining about everything💀(nonetheless a literal child on Broadway vs you) gosh you folks are just miserable. It was a great and fun performance
Thank you, so true. Their negative comments is the only notoriety fame they will ever have.
Awesome performance 👌 👏 👍 😊

True
It's off beat because it's not us. Those immigrants playing us never works.
@PinkkyyWells Can you elaborate?

They are def from the US…
The Jackson 5 are Foundational black Americans…. FBA’s
Congrats Bane! Thanks for dazzling us with your anointed gifts and talents! Love seeing the DSE soar!
this is just further evidence of what a special talent michael was to perform at the level he did
It also proves what a special people we BLACK Americans are. No one can even imitate us properly. They were just off putting the accent and the look.
❤❤❤❤
Hey leave the kid alone he did his best I give him an A for afford

I wonder what the living Jackson 5 members thinks of this?

There are many impersonators but the original artists are the best
First comment, let this man rest.
Second, for a more authentic show im gonna need actor playing Joe Jackson to be behind the curtain with a belt.
Jermine son is following in his uncle Michaels footsteps

Why is Jackie Jermine and Tito actors not wearing their Afros?
AMAAAZING PERFORMANCE!! You absolutely crushed it!
They missing a musical Joe Jackson they ok they missing a belt
They are amazing
They were really good. I'm eerily proud of them...? Lol!
What would papa joe think 😮

It was an okay effort but the lead needs more practice. To those saying “it’s hard to do this” - that’s the point. You need to be highly skilled to take on this role. Otherwise it will fall FLAT because this sequence is so iconic.
