that's Jason weaver... You will KNOW when it's Michael singing, Michaels voice makes you feel something when you hear it, he has this warmth.. but Jason did in amazing job in this movie
Guys, this is Jason singing. Michael handpicked him for the part. Elton John came on set and saw him performing and hired him to sing Simba’s voice in The Lion King. Jason says this in a recent interview ❤️
@@abraham_benson_official that’s not what Jason weaver said. He said in several interviews that the sound system was broken for the dubbing that day so I sang it live
So was the actor who played him as slightly older who died some time after. I am not sure this movie could be told as well with as perfect a cast. Honestly. Those two who p!
Lucy D no it's not listen to the original it's Michael sing in this video it's the kid who played him that's why they hired him to play and they give him credit for that at the end of the movie credits
Lucy D no it's the kid that is singijg this song it's not Michael Jackson mike sounds different than this kid that's why they gave him song credits at the end because he really sang I think they all did but I know he sang for sure
That's Jason actually singing people. He "almost" has a carbon copy of a young Michael. Mike's was a tad bit stronger and raspier. But this kid can blow. DO NOT be fooled.
The bass in this version is amazing ! Jason Weaver's talent really shows itself here. And if you watched the movie from the beginning you can REALLY feel the progress of the film and timeline here.
Jason was showing pure swag at 2:30. He knew he killed that performance. Smokey might have wrote it. Mike might have owned it. But Jason borrowed it and returned it safe, sound, and in one piece.
Its truly amazing for a little kid to have a voice like that. there are some adult singers today that don't even sound as good as a 8, 9, or 10 year old boy (I forgot how old he was at that point in time...) but just wow 😍😱😵
if you dont believe me read the credits at the end of the movie. Just because its a kid's voice its not Michael's. Michael had a soulful raspy-power voice you can easily tell. Jason has a softer-timid toned voice even though its loud.
I don't understand ppl who claim they've followed M.J career all thru his life haven't gotten accustomed 2 his voice & pitch. There's 2 things no1 can do, that's really sound & look exactly like MJ. yeah they come close but that's it. M.J vocals is rare & unique, Jason voice is closer than any1 I know as a young MJ. His vocal sings on quite a few songs in the movie, like the pool party & w/Holly R. The main reason I luv The lion KING is his singing & I can't 4get his role as Brandy bro in Thea.
no one does it even close to Michael.....Simply the best.... I can still remember watching his funeral on the Television.... the ENTIRE WORLD WAS IN TEARS...
Jason did a great fucking job pal...Mikes the greatest but if no one told you, you would've thought this was Mike's voice instead of Jason's! Give the man his props it doesn't take away from Mike's Greatness! We all know Mike is the Greatest but Jason showed his ass on this track
FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON THAT WHOSOEVER SHALL BELIEVETH UNTO HIM SHALL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE JOHN 3:16
Besides the impressive facts that: Michael HANDPICKED him, this is his voice, and Elton John came on set to hear him and picked him for young Simbas singing voice.. the fact that this is a LIVE TAKE.. like this beautiful take that sounds so perfect is LIVE. MIND. FUCKING. BLOWN.
They need to do a remake of this series. Not because the original had anything wrong with it, but because it's time to introduce this upcoming generation to real music.👏🏽👍🏽
None thought this kid is going to have the most brightest future ever..... After the people got to know about his bright future none thought he is going to leave us so soon The forever legend and the king.......👑👑👑👑👑👑👑 R.I.P to The King Michael Jackson❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ We all love you......❤❤❤❤
love this movie!! I think it was very on point and really gave fans an insight to everything that happened. NO other movie should be about Michael or the rest of the family, unless they are behind it.
Actually he's not lip singing that's Jason weaver from smart guy before he was acting he had a music carrier and i also have his album learn your facts before you comment
Elton John was on the set while they filming this movie and approached Jason’s mother and told her that Jason will be perfect cast for new movie Disney was making called Lion King then Jason went and got the part and became the voice of Simba and he’s still getting royalties until this day Legendary
When I had you I treated you bad And wrong my dear And girl since, Since you been away Dontcha know I sit around with my head hangin' down And I wonder Who's lovin you I, I, I, I should have never ever Ever made you cry And girl since Since you been gone Dontcha know I sit around with my head hangin' down And I wonder Who's lovin you Life without love Is oh so lonely I dont think I dont think I'm gonna make it All my life All my life, yeah belongs to you only Come on and take it girl Come on and take it! Because, All I can do All I can do Since you been gone is cry And you, oooh Dontcha know I Sit around With my head hangin down And I wonder Who's lovin' you (Who's lovin you) Who's lovin you..
I think it is. But he's lip syncing to their own recording of the song. I think they pre-recorded it in the studio and played it back for the live performance.
wow! At first, I thought it was just a joke.. but when he sang the first word OMG OML that's Michael, He sang like Michael But One thing He doesn't move like Michael
People on here complaining about Michael Jackson singing the song so much better than "that guy," whose name is Jason Weaver...but DUHHHH, of course he sang it better, it was his song! Jason Weaver is merely an actor with a good voice who resembled Michael the best any child actor could do....FOR THE MOVIE...a movie that came out in 1992 nonetheless. So instead of complaining, how about enjoy watching a scene of from the movie that resembles the real performance with a nice theatrical touch...
The fact that he sung this live at that age is insane
Kids that age have a lot of energy
@@joewhitehead3that’s not what he meant
That's what you call talent.....sounds just like mike
10 Years Gosh King of KINGS MJ👑♾👑🌹
Rest well King. Its 2025 currently and nothing has been the same since you left. Forever #1 . 👑
He really sung this version... beautiful voice!
His voice was spot-on!
He sounds almost exactly like Michael - amazing
that's Jason weaver... You will KNOW when it's Michael singing, Michaels voice makes you feel something when you hear it, he has this warmth.. but Jason did in amazing job in this movie
no lip sync just pure voice
Ain't Nobody had the blues Like Little Michael Jackson and Jason Weaver
Good one but fr 😂🤣❤️
Guys, this is Jason singing. Michael handpicked him for the part. Elton John came on set and saw him performing and hired him to sing Simba’s voice in The Lion King. Jason says this in a recent interview ❤️
I KNEW IT. I knew he was a kid in a Disney movies voice just couldn’t place it, but Simba kept coming to mind
@@morganbarfield108 that’s right! And he also sang I Wanna be Where you are LIVE that day for the recording. He wasn’t just miming it! He’s amazing
@@BlushGushNo, “I Wanna Be Where You Are” was mimed.
@@abraham_benson_official that’s not what Jason weaver said. He said in several interviews that the sound system was broken for the dubbing that day so I sang it live
Very clear that Jason Weaver was the perfect casting choice for young MJ
Joe Whitehead
Joe Whitehead he was also the voice of simba only the singing and he was the guy from drumline
He even looked like Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs (actor for Joe Jackson)
So was the actor who played him as slightly older who died some time after. I am not sure this movie could be told as well with as perfect a cast. Honestly. Those two who p!
thats cause michael chose all his actors LOL
Fun fact: Jason Weaver actually sung this song live
This kid did a good job portraying Micheal - great vocals too!
that's Michael's voice he's lip singing the whole thing
Lucy D no it's not listen to the original it's Michael sing in this video it's the kid who played him that's why they hired him to play and they give him credit for that at the end of the movie credits
Rose Lopez that's what I'm saying ..actually all I said is that it's Michael's voice not this kid
Lucy D no it's the kid that is singijg this song it's not Michael Jackson mike sounds different than this kid that's why they gave him song credits at the end because he really sang I think they all did but I know he sang for sure
louij3daman22 no it's Michael's playback voice ... it's the same voice while talking too .it's michael
Voice of an Angel! Absolutely perfect pitch. Please bring back this kind of music!!!
That's Jason actually singing people. He "almost" has a carbon copy of a young Michael. Mike's was a tad bit stronger and raspier. But this kid can blow. DO NOT be fooled.
Paa Hawkins i was wondering if that was Jasons voice
Paa Hawkins thats mj
Paa Hawkins that's Michael's voice 😃😄😍😘😆
Jason weaver is singing this , not MJ ...he had albums out to
Valerja Mici this is Jason singing. You can tell when he sings the line "since you've been gone" When Michael sings it he goes high pitch
The bass in this version is amazing ! Jason Weaver's talent really shows itself here. And if you watched the movie from the beginning you can REALLY feel the progress of the film and timeline here.
"Don't you know I, sit around..with head hanging down" I love this song!
"I gave her my cookies"!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
He sings this really well
Better than well boo, waaay better lmao he’s phenomenal
It’s Jason Weaver, who sings well he when he was nine years old
Jason was showing pure swag at 2:30. He knew he killed that performance. Smokey might have wrote it. Mike might have owned it. But Jason borrowed it and returned it safe, sound, and in one piece.
I like how you summed that up
the fact that he had to sing this take live is amazing! i love it!!!
Kids that age have a lot energy
Its truly amazing for a little kid to have a voice like that. there are some adult singers today that don't even sound as good as a 8, 9, or 10 year old boy (I forgot how old he was at that point in time...) but just wow 😍😱😵
Amazé Billie Jean Celto he is michael jackson...
Amazé Billie Jean Celto that's Michael's voice,
no that's NOT Michael, it was actually Jason Weaver google it...
@@valeriah5946 it isn't
That’s not him😂😂😂
Jason Weaver was the singing voice of Simba in The Lion King.
yes he was
Lyrica81 really??? didn't know
Lyrica81 has anyone seen a video or concert or anywhere where Jason Weaver sings the lion king song? I don't think it's ever been recorded.
Not only that, he's also play the same role of young Michael in one of Michael's Pepsi commercials when they sang "I'll Be There".
i noticed that 2 days ago lol
Jason absolutely killed it as young MJ he deserved an Oscar
Emmy
if you dont believe me read the credits at the end of the movie. Just because its a kid's voice its not Michael's. Michael had a soulful raspy-power voice you can easily tell. Jason has a softer-timid toned voice even though its loud.
jason weaver did an excellent job of playing him...was that terence howard of empire fame i saw in the background?
Yep
Yeah
Jason had Mike voice
He played Jackie
I don't understand ppl who claim they've followed M.J career all thru his life haven't gotten accustomed 2 his voice & pitch. There's 2 things no1 can do, that's really sound & look exactly like MJ. yeah they come close but that's it. M.J vocals is rare & unique, Jason voice is closer than any1 I know as a young MJ.

Dude he was a god gift
That's Jason Weaver :) :) He did a great job!
no one does it even close to Michael.....Simply the best.... I can still remember watching his funeral on the Television.... the ENTIRE WORLD WAS IN TEARS...
All his fans around the world not entire world
Jason did a great fucking job pal...Mikes the greatest but if no one told you, you would've thought this was Mike's voice instead of Jason's! Give the man his props it doesn't take away from Mike's Greatness! We all know Mike is the Greatest but Jason showed his ass on this track
@@TrollGod-b5w i came here to say just this lol ima huge Michael Jackson fan always have been but weaver did an amazing job as well
Who’s here in 2024 🙏🏽rip Michal Jackson
Did you not hear about Tito Jackson? He passed away sometime this week. His death was caused by a heart attack while driving.
I fell in love with Jason Weaver when I saw this movie at eight years old and he is still my boo to this day.
cute rip king of pop lived foreved in us hearts
He is my favorite
He is not michael jackson
FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON THAT WHOSOEVER SHALL BELIEVETH UNTO HIM SHALL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE
JOHN 3:16
Used to play this back to back when I was 12 now I’m 21 reminiscing doing the same thing again 🥲 time flies yall
Love, Honor and Respect to Jason Weaver who played Michael Jackson so well. You got soul 100% perfection.
Besides the impressive facts that: Michael HANDPICKED him, this is his voice, and Elton John came on set to hear him and picked him for young Simbas singing voice.. the fact that this is a LIVE TAKE.. like this beautiful take that sounds so perfect is LIVE. MIND. FUCKING. BLOWN.
I love this song sooooooo much it makes you think about everything
I like it when he said "I dont think,i dont think,Im gonna make it!!"
They need to do a remake of this series. Not because the original had anything wrong with it, but because it's time to introduce this upcoming generation to real music.👏🏽👍🏽
Michael era de otro mundo!!!
biguetosi ramirez os brasileiros vão dominar o mundo
That arm throw tho gawd damn kid had soul for so young
Watching 2020 one of the best movies ever created portraying real life characters. ❤❤❤❤ AMAZING please show this movie on TV everyday
OLD IS STILL GOLD
Jason weaver did a great job as MJ
I see how a girl can easily pick up a pen and paper and write to Micheal stating how they want him to marry them after listening to this.
Dennis Koech Cheruiyot
For sure
Just don't use him for sex
That's really good, whoever is the actor, he did a good job
None thought this kid is going to have the most brightest future ever.....
After the people got to know about his bright future none thought he is going to leave us so soon
The forever legend and the king.......👑👑👑👑👑👑👑
R.I.P to The King Michael Jackson❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
We all love you......❤❤❤❤
Yeahhh Jason!! ❤ my guy
So sweet!
Forever michael jackson
I wish I've been to all of his concerts 🎤
love this movie!! I think it was very on point and really gave fans an insight to everything that happened. NO other movie should be about Michael or the rest of the family, unless they are behind it.
I love how Jason Weaver sings this song...
Natalie Ramirez michael jackson ....who jason??
sandy mandy the dude singing is jason hes playing like hes mj but since he can sing they didnt prerecord it
S.T.A.R Labs you cant please them all
He kilt this shit , & i bet he felt real good that he could almost see young Michael on that level
I freakin love this movie!!! Obsessed!!
michael you are the beeest 😍😍😍
Best vocals Michaels was honestly seriously talented beautiful voice and beautiful family love #MJ and #Jackson5
I love the things he talks first, or better i love the whole song to me that song is perfect :)
HE IS THE KING. I HOPE IS IN A BETTER PLACE SAFE AND PEACFUL. HE WAS SUCH AN INCREDIBLE HUMAN BEING
That's clearly not Michael Jackson voice! That's Jason, the little guy singing, voice.
Not "clearly", I bet most can't tell the difference if there was audio only
Yeah you can hear "simba" in there
The ones who played Jermaine and Tito 🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍
He sure had a better voice when he was young, than when he got older!!
He’s sooo adorable just like Michael 😭😍❤️
Que voz, era extremamente incrível!
Wow he sounds like Michael!!!
He did a good job
That was Jason singing, perfect!
merci,c’est la première fois que je voit cette vidéo ,mj avait déjà a cette époque son style!!!
Giving her your cookies is how it starts.
He sing the song perfectly
Its the actor's name Jason Weaver and that's Jason Weaver's real voice.
Wow if it wasn't for the comments I would've thought this was real! This kid did a really good job playing the king of pop himself
Actually he's not lip singing that's Jason weaver from smart guy before he was acting he had a music carrier and i also have his album learn your facts before you comment
That and he was young Simba's singing voice, which everybody agrees sounds like MJ.
Yeah I've always liked his style, I think he sang best as a boy though. A talented brother for sure.
Paul White Agreed.
Shumeeka Smith spot on!
@Titanin1984 I heard it I sounds nothing like this this is Jason's voice also he sung as simba from the lion king
I remember when he sang that in the early seventies - what a voice!
I've been looking for this clip!!!!
Elton John was on the set while they filming this movie and approached Jason’s mother and told her that Jason will be perfect cast for new movie Disney was making called Lion King then Jason went and got the part and became the voice of Simba and he’s still getting royalties until this day Legendary
0:56 💙 he seemed like he enjoyed his childhood as mj more than the real michael jackson had of his childhood
Niko here what are you trying to say
Please stop with that nonsense. Go watch full house or the weak osmans

Muitas saudade do meu eterno Rei do pop Michael Jackson
jason weaver can really sing i dont think this is lip sync at all
I think it is. But he's lip syncing to their own recording of the song. I think they pre-recorded it in the studio and played it back for the live performance.
Kene Ifezue no they didn't you can hear the echo of the mic if you listen closely
Laurean Johnson T
Laurean Johnson I legit thought that was Michael
@@shukursims4091 No you can't lol, it's definitely pre recorded
amazing the kinf of pop forever
He sounded just like 👍 micheal 1:17
Even though he sounds like Michael is not the actual Michael, but it’s Jason Weaver
Naaaaa que animal 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 de tan pequeño y la rompía toda arriba del escenario ... Que genio!!!!
wow! At first, I thought it was just a joke.. but when he sang the first word OMG OML that's Michael, He sang like Michael But One thing He doesn't move like Michael
