@emmanespinoMichael was so good when he was young.
@MichaelLester1776It's really hard to enjoy this when you know he was forced into it.
@konpeitosamaWorld so cruel that they mistook his kindness as diddler.
@bentep0511Bro, the other 4 are actual extras, wtf
@pukeskywanker3966He once said he didn't want to be known as the kid who sang ABC, but I'm sorry, I love you for the kid you were and the adult you were, I love you and respect for the person you were. You are being missed every single day, rest in peace.
If you are a kid, struggling like this, no that are you are loved too.♥️ There is someone for everyone, find your person, your friend.
GOAT , No other word

@killbot_factoryThis is a classic example of ‘where there’s food for one, there’s food for five.
The entire beauty of the song on Michael shoulders. Not even sure if the 2 brothers with bass and guitar are really playing.
me
@ylwashingtonIt’s crazy to watch this after knowing what all went on behind the scenes
@AlexHargreeves2025It's crazy how dark this colorful and happy performance is. The contrast is palpable.
@krsnirvanWho create Mickael? Who know he is going to be good ? Joe Jackson his dad so please stop the negative comments toward him . Back then our parents were all difficult
@CheriffSimporeQuién es el otro niño
@lauramunoz6540they are so good!
@mohsenr76so cute young MJ😀☺️😇❤
@AmuanipiringparangAs a kid, we remember that performance like folks remember them walking on the moon. We couldn't stop talking about that at school the next day.
How many people either bought a glove or the penny loafers after this performance???
So many of us were trying to do the moonwalk in the hallways between classes or at lunch, LOL.
I am here to compare Smokey vs MJ singing this song!!!!!! Smokey wrote the song and sung it 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 MJ SANG DA HELL OUT OF THIS SONG💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 MUCH RESPECT TO BOTH OF THEM 🤴🏾🤴🏾🤴🏾🤴🏾🤴🏾🤴🏾🤴🏾🤴🏾🤴🏾🤴🏾
@stanleyhughes5705Knowing he has to be scared to miss a note because he knows his dad will beat him if he messes up
@Iliveinurwalls1Picturing the abuse behind the doors yet he still performed at 1000% I love him, god bless his soul, I wish I could give him a hug
@4KingPoseidonMichael, your legs are moving.
Michael - 2026 😁
Coitado. Passou a vida INTEIRA trabalhando
@dafynemachado6836Huh that’s weird that I just found a comment that said who’s there after watching the Michael movie and I literally went to go see it today
@matthewbiller530540 out of 40 anime a huge Michael Jackson fan ABC 123 ABC you and me
@matthewbiller5305Rest in peace, Michael. I truly believe Christ knows your heart and all the pain you went through. You were just a child, a little angel 😥, who only wanted to have a childhood. May you have found mercy, peace, and eternal rest with Jesus and Mary. 🙏
@edsonbarros19Es verdad ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
