CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Scarecrow (Michael Jackson) and Dorothy (Diana Ross) find the yellow brick road and celebrate by singing "Ease on Down the Road."
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Sidney Lumet's The Wiz is the film version of the popular Broadway musical that retells the events of L. Frank Baum's classic novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz through the eyes of a young African-American kindergarten teacher who's "never been below 125th Street." Leaving a large family dinner to chase her dog into a snowstorm, Dorothy (Diana Ross) is swept up by a cyclone and transplanted to the land of Oz -- which looks suspiciously like a skewed version of the run-down Manhattan of the late '70s. Landing on top of the Wicked Witch of the East, the puzzled Dorothy is greeted by munchkins who peel themselves from a graffiti mural and sing to her about the Wiz (Richard Pryor), a powerful wizard living in Emerald City who can help her get home. On her journey down the yellow brick road, she encounters a garbage-stuffed scarecrow (Michael Jackson) in a junkyard, a broken-down tin man (Nipsey Russell) caught in the decay of an old amusement park, and a cowardly lion (Ted Ross) posing as a stone statue outside a museum. The quartet tangles with a subway station that comes to life, a poppy den, and a gaggle of motorcycle henchman on their way to the Wiz -- who orders them to kill the Wicked Witch of the West (a sweatshop tyrant) before he will grant them their wishes. The Wiz has about double the large-scale production numbers of The Wizard of Oz (1939), with songs written and composed by Charlie Smalls.

1:49 MJ killed it with those spins hahaha. R.I.P Michael Jackson.
Ikkk why himmmm
I said the same shit smh.
That's wassup *****
+B-money Cisco I know right btw did you watch #TheWiz live tonight?
+May Flower I missed it, was it good?
Michael and Diana looked like they were having so much fun during this scene. But considering Diana had to dance in heels I know her feet were killing her, and Michael that's what I call raw talent. There will never be another one like him ever.
Diana was a mis cating.
She acted like a whiny six year old to get the lead role.
She was 32 years old and acted like a BABY to get the role.
@@Tornado1994 still a good actor, besides its business you gotta fight in the entertainment world
True, buuuuuuut Bruno Mars is now in the picture 🤔
@@Caffeindo And he doesn't compare.
Caffeindo hes really good and i love him and his music but NOBODY can replace jackson
This the happiest MJ ever was . The love of his life.
You are so right , he loved Diana till it hurts
You are so right , he loved Diana till it hurts
You are so right , he loved Diana till it hurts
ikr
ikr
0:39 was the cutest thing ever. Michael was the best person to play the scarecrow. No one can replace that innocent charm, or unique dancing ability. Not to mention his awesome vocal talent. He made the scarecrow so much fun and such a great wiggly dancer hehe
***** I completely agree with you. Michael was just amazing in this film.
***** I couldn't have said it better! You are so right about him making the scarecrow so much fun with his wobbly-legged dancing and innocent charm. It was perfectly on point. Seriously my favourite character in this one!
+Melissa Ngai You'd be piping a different tune if he had spent a night with _your_ child...
well you know the original tale I know how we can make it better WHY NOT HAVE THEIR BACK TURN AGENTS US.
+Deipatrous The sheer number of adults and children who went to Neverland Ranch, came out again, and have never brought up any wrong doing over 30 years should be more than enough evidence of the opposite. Nearly everyone who accused Michael Jackson were proven false or had a past history of fraud and exploitation. The parents in both cases went directly to a lawyer first, the same lawyer oddly enough, and the police second. The same District Attorney who tried to press this case against Jackson in the 1990s did it again in the 2000s, but despite being one of the most drawn out trials in recent US history they could not prove Jackson did any wrong.
The man was eccentric, troubled, and acted out at times. It was low hanging fruit and made him an easy target for character assassination. Neither his personality, the cases brought against him, nor having his name repeatedly cast in whatever light the media thought would sell the best, add up to any wrong doing. That he is dead should earn some respect, but more so since we both know you've only said what you have based on a vague, apathetic opinion.
How the hell does she do that in those heels…
skills
yeah wtf
skill bro
Diana Ross is just that awesome - that's how.
Because Diana Ross.
When your leaving school and realizes it's the last day
I'm dead omfg
LOL same!
same
helen taylor that be me on the last day of high school
KJLegend HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Awwww, I miss Michael. He was so darn talented, and such a wonderful, kind and caring person. King of pop forever.
I know, he was also such a good actor. Like in this and Captain EO. Rip King of Pop!
Pfff he was a child abuser
Lucy Tranter What are you doing in this part of RUclips?
Lucy Tranter No, he wasn't. Read the court transcripts. Evan Chandler and the Arzisos were crooks.
I only think about his talent
I love how MJ all the way to the end still acts like he's learning how to walk again... Genius!!
OroraMonroe im so glad im not the only one who noticed that
black bruce wayne x2
that's the best of his acting... that walk :D
MJ kills them spins. Love this part of the movie
Me too I learned a little bit of that dance in dance
Me to!!
hell yeah lol
Ik!!!!
The dog was like hey, wait for me you guys. I just see him running to Michael Jackson and Diana trying to catch up.😂
Maria 😂😂😂😂
"HOW Y'ALL GON JUST TRY AND LEAVE ME!?"
He could have caught up while they were dancing
Haha todo dog
Right? Its so-o cute to see him tearing after Diana Michael!
Michael's acting is just incredible, my god ♥
+Brandon M Thank you for that unnecessarily rude comment.
The phrase 'no shit' is often used to suggest someone is stupid for not being aware of something, or saying something obvious to everyone. And as this is on the internet I have no idea of how you would have said it had it been real life, and therefore did not interpret it in that way; do think a bit more first about what you are saying and how others may interpret it, especially on the internet.
+Brandon M I have never come across it in that way, however I can see what you mean now through your explanation of it; I will bare this in mind in future, thank you.
+Laura Masters +Brandon m you are both weirdos and granny's
Yeah he also is dancing weird! 😂
The Wiz takes the original and adds on to it color, soul, rhythm, energy and talent.
King Jay was
This is an abortion.
Sage Antone so what make our own, showing that we gave the capability of making things soulful and fun for the whole family is an "abortion".
King Jay it already had that but sure
Don’t forget black legends
Lol when I was little I was so worried about that dog. I had no idea where he went. And then he came later and I was relieved. Haha
I watched this movie for the first tim last night and I though I was the only one who got really worried where toto went when they were dancing
lol
Same
They didn't want him getting in the way while they were dancing
Lol cute
Is there anything Michael can't do sing, dance, and act he is truly Legend
He can also draw
He could never keep his hands to himself.
@@DrWhom you jerk
Deipatrous who told you that??
He could beatbox, play instruments, draw, heal the world, give songs actual meaning, and be cute. There are more but I’ll be talking all day if i stated all of them
This whole song was all MJ. I barely hear Diana . I'm not complaining, I love MJ,lmao. He overshadowed everyone in singing and dancing !
Rosannasfriend That’s because they have similar voices
mj is a better singer then her an many others
@@africanlogic757 okay no no no stop that they were both amazing singers diana was way more know and sang way more in the 60s and mj peak were in the 80s so yh
How she dance and jump with heels?? It's great, I can't do that or else I fall hahaha
Should see Raven performing the song Strut in the Cheetah Girls 2. And they were spiky heel boots.
Miss Ross was born on high heels ! There's nothing she does without glamour!
They are probably character shoes
PukyBear *heels.
PukyBear so dats where The Pussycat Dolls got deyr influence from
Ray Bolger is and always be The Scarecrow, but Michael Jackson took the Scarecrow to a different, superior, and out-of-this-world level!
+Mauricio Berdugo Nope Michael beat him by far. Plus he looked weird. I found the characters from the WOO to be scary. Michael nailed the Scarecrow. Black folks are so talented.
+mspinkytee : I fail to see where I said that Michael was terrible.
I agree!!👌🏾
Mike was so adorable as the scarecrow like ughhhh
i agree the Wizard of Oz is by far my fave film ever!!! but I do love The Wiz
R.I.P Michael Jackson
Olivia Gordon Ikr? He may be in heaven but he is always in our hearts.
😭
I miss Michael too.
This year will be 10 years since his death.
Not in peace, in hell, where child molesters burn.
MJ with his killer spins👏👏👏
Lol I was just about to say the same thing hahaha
Did anybody notice the 1 legged spin at 1:24? This dude was a beast!
my childhood. I had this on tape lmao
girl that tape maybe lasted a year lmao
+Indyiana D. I rented this a bunch back in the days.
+Indyiana D. and watched it 100 times!!! lol
Michaels cuteness is too much to handle I just wanna reach into the screen and take him out and keep him forever.
That man had so much freaking talent.
That spin Michael did in the beginning iconic ✨✨✨
0:45 that spin😭😍
(0.46) Loved the little MJ spin thrown in there! RIP Michael, You're simply amazing!
Ill never forget seeing this for the first time and I just was so stunned at what I saw. It was perfect then and perfect now. I always looked at Dorothy and how small and dainty she was and now I see how The Scarecrow was exhibiting his brains and smarts here with all those BRILLIANT moves! I LOVE this movie!
MJ and those fantastic spins!
Oh my goodness no one else could have possibly played the scarecrow like MJ. This is such a fun scene to watch. I mean who doesn't just want to go outside to the nearest road and ease on down? Thanks for posting.
One of the greatest dance performances of all time. Seems there wasn't anything MJ couldn't do if he set his mind to it. Very underrated , nearly forgotten musical.
U played urself. It is a classic in the black community
@@ertfgghhhh exactly. Underrated and forgotten by the white gaze, not the world.
Man MJ is like a cartoon. Hes movements have an animated quality and joy to them i havnt seen in anyone else. There was just something about him.
Rip king of the pop xxx You were, not only a talented actor, singer and dancer but you were one of the kindest and most charitable people on earth. It is so unfair what happened to you before you had to leave us. The hologram doesn't to the king justice, I was born in 2000 so I missed your glory days and my mum called you a freak but she was so wrong. You inspired me as you inspire many and, Michael, we miss you so much. I wish I could have been around to be one of the many who supported you from the beginning but I hope that you go down in history as one of the Greats. Rip dear king!
Awww this made me teary :( I'm a bit older than you and go to grow up on him but it's do touching & sweet that his work lives on and inspires generation after generation. He'd love that. ❤️
Same here! My parents call him a "freak" too or say he did molest kids or bleach his skin but they haven't done as much research as I did and I know FOR A FACT HE DIDN'T. My parents only believe the tabloid trash's lies. I'm 18 years old and I wish I could've seen Michael in concert. I'm so beyond envious of those who did. Now we got shit music like Bieber and whatnot.
R.I.P KING OF POP! I HOPE YOU'RE MOONWALKING YOUR HEART OUT IN HEAVEN. I LOVE YOU.
Moms don't know everything,God Bless you
+Vanessa Hamilton I'm almost 55yrs and I saw MJ Victory tour,NO talent OUT here can come close to my Michael Jackson! You have AWESOME TASTE! :-)
francis turner Really? Lucky!! Must have been magical.
You can see here already that this boy will be the greatest dancer of all time.. look at those spins !!! :) LOVE MJ
Me leaving my house after the coronavirus:
Same!
EASE ON DOWN THE ROAD
THIS IS SO TRUE LMAO
😂😂😂😂😂😁😁😁😁😁😁
Hahahahaha!!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Michael Jackson WAS AN AMAZING DANCER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Truly the most inspirational artist ever!!! R.I.P Mike
Pure magic when I was a kid!
Honestly, I don't understand how this movie was such a box office failure when it came out at the time... This movies great!
Star Wars
no it was not great
Mariri Official
because it was a black production and white peopl were spiteful about African Americans touching this film.
cushe83 It's a shame.
cushe83 FACTS!
1:56 THAT SPINNING AND LIFTING SECTION IS AMAZING! AMAZING DANCING!
Diana and Michael were coming thru with those vocals tho, especially during the end, did y’all pick up on those riffs and runs?
I love when she sings her iconic YEAH at 2:05.
I love how in this movie they let him do his own moves 🖤🙏👑
This is 1978. I'm sure that background there was nowhere near cheap. Of-course, they want to get the most out of it. I love that last shot. I gotta say, this movie was way ahead of its time.
He played so good🕴🏼
We lost the sweetest and the most talented ever child just because of our stereotypes and dirty thoughts😞
Their chemistry was so real and natural I love it
580 people didn't ease on down the road. On a side note R.I.P. Michael Jackson The King Of Pop (1958-2009). It's been over half a decade since his death. I can't believe it!!!!!!!
Yes, it's still hard to believe it's been 5 years since his passing.
*****
How can you dislike this? You're right, its such a fun and lighthearted scene and Michael and Diana were perfect for their roles! Rip king of pop!
PP
PPL
Michael & his riffs & runs were hittin it lol same goes for miss thang 😏🌚
Favorite part is when MJ does those runs as he's sings "Ease on doooownnn" @ 2:08
Yes, lower-register! 😂
I say tha same thing
i love Michael's beautiful voice
Fun fact:
The singing and dancing parts that Michael Jackson did only took 1 time and after that none at all because he was that gifted and talented🙏🏾❤️
Michael Jackson got moves bruh fr💯
Such a great Song I Love it. And the choreography AMAZING. You see how much they are enjoying this. Diana and Michael FOREVER!!!!
The scenery and the back drops and the sets on this movie were brilliant. Gives a surreal and real feel to the city. Almost like eerieness, terror, and joy combined in a dreamy state.
He just learned how to walk and can dance better than most folks alive! Not to mention his singing voice!!
I wonder what he would be like in our world? 😁
I love his spins 💯 omg they was so happy 😊 😁😁
you can tell MJ was *SO HAPPY* filming this.
1:09 Dannnnnggg... scarecrow's got some moves!
This is so adorable
When you Finally Graduate High School
0:50 When I check out I wanna dance my way into Heaven like this Lmao 😂
luv you Michael Jackson ♡♡♡ ur were the best person ever,and now ur the best angel ever!!♡♡♡
I like how Diana just can't help but stare at Michael at times while he's busting them moves.
Great advice from a great man.
Michael's performance in this film is quite impressive & underappreciated. Even with all his musical accomplishments , he remained an underutilized talent with nearly unlimited potential. Too much to fulfill in a single lifetime.
It's also worthwhile to watch this isolating Diana Ross' performance. She manages not only to hold her own hoofing in a scene with one of the greatest dancers in history , but creates a harmonious & complementary counterpoint within the scene, something even a dance specialist would approach as a real challenge.
Michael can dance can sing can act what a beautiful blessing did God bring to the world
I remember I suffered from depression, but these songs made me so happy to realize he changed my life , rip the king of pop bro we all miss you
He was perfect at everything he's ever done. Missing him so much 😭❤️❤️❤️
i love the way he spins.
Was not a big fan of Michael's later stuff and I guess I lost sight of how truly talented he was. Seeing this just reminded me.
There was no better person to play the scarecrow other than Michael because of his innocent, childlike personality.
I love the way Michael spins. :)
Scarecrow as Michael was the best cast selection. It just fits him so much.
I have no idea why, but this song was going through my head this afternoon. It's been YEARS since I've seen this film!
I remember my folks taking us to see The Wiz when it first came out! I was 10-11...we loved it then and I still love it now!!
I loved watching this movie when I was a kid. The music and everyone in it was awesome ☺️
2:39 it sounds like Michael is saying "I like it on the Mountain Dew"
Lol 😂😃 R.i.P Michael
HOW is she dancing with those heels on?!?!
She's A Queen
IKR?! But she was pretty good!!👏🏽
lockstam nah it's her
Lol. You should see Raven-Symone in the Cheetah Girls 2. She wore high heel boots for the Strut musical sequence and nails it. Plus, it's a great song.
@@6THWARDTRILL That part!
Michael’s fluent dance skills work really well with the floppy limbs of the scarecrow. 10/10 best adaptation of Wizard of Oz
Great music and superb dancing on both sides. I think above all else MJ was an amazing dancer (and yes I know I'm ignoring other tragic aspects of his character).
I'll never get over how Diana Ross and Michael sound so good together. She clearly influenced his way of singing a lot. I love how both used to shout out in their songs. I just wish they had more duets together! Watching them on stage was a lot of fun 'cuz they were so into it when together! A real power couple! The big age difference might have kept Diana from marrying Michael and that's such a shame😢
GREAT SONG MJ!!
I Love You!!
Sandy😍😍ceoactmcevul.omu vubleviela tov.lactnoehacts uo.lvulrvinlrho.svuoact
Michael Jackson’s dance moves lol
Best song in the whole production. I can just picture Michael going to the Pearly gates like that and singing that song.
I don't know y but old movies or music has a ring to it I just love old stuff
This is one of my favorite scenes from the movie! I can't help but smile through the whole video while nodding my head and words can't describe how great Michael was in this movie! I'm feeling nostalgic now lol
A CLOSE UP YA JERK! A CLOSE UP!
Nostalgia Critic is the best
it seems like they were enjoyed themselfs sooo much, i love it
Toto had to run with all his might to catchup
0:41 that’s adorable
I miss ❤️ Michael Jackson my mom though i dance like him and i do I like the song black or while and I like You rock my world
They were such good friends so I’m sure that this was really fun for them
Even if a person was not aware that Michael Jackson was in this movie, they would recognise those spins of his! haha Awesome! My favourite song & dance in "The Wiz" movie!
Michael Jackson is so cute 😍😘
Michael did such a great job physically playing this character as he constantly made his body loose and clumsy like an actual scarecrow.
Michael probably wanted to do the moonwalk so bad
dude, for christ sakes, michael moves like a cartoon! it gives me goosebumps! its like im seeing goofie but like a funky boss, you know? BEST DANCER EVER!!!!
I really love the bass and the performance. I hear this song over and over again.
Me gusta el bajo y la actuación. Oigo esta canción una y otra vez.
Just his voice made me cry..
That spin though...... "Pure Legendary"
I love The Wiz I have it on DVD and video it's always been one of my favorite movies everything was great about this movie the sets,the music and the cast
1:14 The original Jubilation R.I.P MJ
I've seen this like thousands of times and I like.
