Felt like starting this thread and going back in time when times were sunnier. Some really cute and funny instances that the general public must have no idea about -- the focus being on Michael (in this post of mine), but you can all post your favorite such moments by the other Jacksons. I know there is a J5/Jacksons music thread in this subforum somewhere, but this one is a close-up of those things that make you laugh or go ga-ga about, not just music-related, could be certain extracts from interviews, out-takes, gaffes (whether intentional or not), certain extracts from award shows, performances, anything, really.

Those popping in my head at the moment are the following:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPUsrcKQBSA -- from this video, seconds 1:00-1:02 (Michael's face suddenly becoming blank and his moves delayed, lol..., probably 'cause of how Marlon and Randy were sounding like they were on the rush, gasping for breath); seconds 1:05-1:06 (Michael's smile and poise - adorable..); 1:18 (Jackie dancing as though the music wasn't done, adorable mo' as well), 1:55 (Michael making a slight mistake in introducing a female nominee, instead of saying Dorothy, he said 'Delma', and the way he raised his hand while correcting himself was too funny, 'Delma..oh, no, Dorothy..', cute); Michael's jumping for joy like a lil' cangaroo, lol, at the winner of that category, Natalie Cole, being giggly and really happy for her and all (from 2:40 till 3:06 aprox, and Cole not even looking at or noticing him..lol...)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajAVG8DxQLc&feature=related -- Michael putting his hand around Lola's shoulder, so boyishly and earnestly, 0:47-0:50, acting giggly and rather nervous ^^)...virtually all of that video is priceless, but the funniest and most adorable ever is him talking on that phone on stage with Chicago, from 2:49-3:30, when, if you notice, he's at 0:50 hanging up on that Chicago guy, although he wasn't finished talking, Michael laughing nervously on hanging up (looking like thinking, 'Oh.. this guy's boring, bye-bye'.. just priceless)


Just 2 video spotlights for now, gotta run, will post more later. .. Feel free to contribute, if you wish.

thank you for posting these...felt like a blast from the past..:lmao:
 
Welcome, Thunder. ^..

A few more: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byrIV6bKvS0&feature=related -- at 6:30, the look on Michael's face, as though he saw scab personified, lol, then at 6:32, he looks really annoyed at that nosy librarian and hits (not hard, though) him in the head, lol, then at 6:35, his demeanor changes instantly, and starts joyously reading a gossip column (Marlon slaps the librarian's head with a book as he leaves meanwhile, lol), about Randy and Lola Falana, lol; at 9:16, Mike hurrying to open the TV for Rebbie, he asks her, 'How is that?', then rushes to say he'll be back in a moment. Not before lighting up the cannon behind that TV (0..0.... rofl)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovYLumBL_II&feature=related -- @ 4:37, Michael slapping Marlon in the head with lightening speed, lol.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3o0hE1dkQEg&feature=related - at 2:05, Michael's frustrated expression after Marlon forces his way to sing his solo part, looks at a smiling Jackie for an instant... how Michael continues to dance frustratedly looking at the same smiling Jackie, then at 2:14 he looks a bit annoyed again, lol .....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkJxvFD-O_o&feature=related - at 1:54, Michael lifting his shoulders looking scared like a puppy ^, at 2:06, when he is hit with that glove, he lifts up his shoulders again, and his deer-like look in his eyes after... priceless.
 
Ahhh, that 77 grammy with him standing there with Lola Falana was just precious!. Our sweet, cute, shy Michael! Thanks for sharing. :)
 
Thanks for those. I did wish Diana Ross song won rather than Natalie. Her song was my favorite. It is always great to see Michael at any age.
 
Wow, Rerun from "What's Happening", Lola Falana, John Byner, the Jacksons, little Janet and her cute Mae West impression. Even my favorite band of all time Chicago winning their AMA (and MJ hanging up on the guy...was it Peter Cetera on the other end?). It's like stepping into a time capsule.:)
 
Welcome, everyone. ^

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKmTNfGjuqo - @ 1:44, when Michael excitedly presents The Osmond Brothers as some of their musical influences, lol, then Jackie instantly asks, 'Who are the Osmond Brothers?', to which Randy rushes to say on the microphone, 'I don't know, they must've been big in the '50' (lol!), at which Michael's, like, 'Stay cool!', frowning, lol.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUAHR8T-tnA&feature=related - @ 3:21.......the newly-wedded woman's question, 'How does it feel like being one of the best song-writers/singers out there?' or sth like that... @ 3:34 from up until 3:40, that woman keeps on laughing nervously, and Michael tries to answer the question, lol: "Well, it's fun, you get to meet a lot of people like you, all [LOL] and different entertainers... and it's just fun'. ^^ Michael looking and sounding like, 'I shouldn't have even bothered....' ^^

Thank you so much for posting...I'd never seen this variety show..MJ dancing with the Nicholas Brothers was amazing....am blown away by that!

(Smiling that the rest of the family make the 'tapping' noises by slapping their knees, hitting their cheeks etc. ):D
 
Welcome, Myosotis.

More:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dXjzakmacM - Michael automatic reaction at 0:58, rofl, and his mumbling something to self, lol, his voice is too cute, and he looks like a plush teddy bear. ^^ Plus, at 1:08, when Michael 'uhms', then withdraws a bit from the focus and Marlon takes his place (love the adorable awkwardness of it all ^); at 2:33, when Jackie complains to Michael, 'I don't wanna be no Andrew sister, Mike, come on!", rofl, looking really serious too, to which Jermaine adding 'And I don't wanna be a girl, Mike..', LOL. Priceless. @ 2:54, Michael saying to Tito, Jermaine and Randy, 'Hit it, girls', as though leading the cattle on some fresh spring pastures. ^^........At 4:06, Jackie whispering to Mike with a resigned tonality: "I don't wanna be no Supreme, Mike..' And Jermaine frowning and whispering, 'And I don't wanna be another girl, Mike..' Lol, what clowns. ^ At 4:22, Mike and Tito showing the fist at the former Andrew Sisters, lol. There were more cute moments towards the end of the footage, like Michael's multi-tasking self, lol, shaking a guy's hand and kissing Carol Burnett on the cheek at the same time ^

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDO2vX0N2Es - I'm sorry, but this part of interview is too funny all throughout......McLean Stevenson is a total goofball, and everybody there is funny.. Back in those days, funny actually meant funny, and entertaining was pure entertainment.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DVanamgDds&feature=related - @ 0:58........ if you don't know where Michael got his 'aowws' from, that moment should give u an idea, LOL... His reaction to it was so sincere and spontaneous and pure. .............. @ 2:37, when Dinah asks, 'And you're not married, Michael, are you?', his answer was so cute and humble and honest, 'No, I'm not married'. ^


2 late here, that's it for now, will be adding new stuff soon.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhGJI6VUSkk&playnext=1&list=PL4C37714735059AE2 - Bob Hope: 'Hey, are you all really brothers? ; Michael @ :29: "Well, we ain't sisters!" LOL ..... ; Marlon @ 0:37: 'Fas'!? We worked weeks to get where we are!" LOL. ...^^ ; on how their success happened: Tito: "Well, you see, our mom and dad taught us how to sing and dance.", Jackie (wistfully): "And they bought us our instruments", Jermaine: "And they made our arrangements", Michael: "And before that, they made us." ^^ Michael @ 1:38 (irritated and completely non-assumed): "You're lucky you're a comedian, Mr. Hope. People seem to laugh at the same thing for years!.."; Marlon @ 1:52: "Young!? Jackie's 21!..", Jermaine: 'Yeah, he's old enough to be an Osmond brother.' LOL.....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxBvEKtxsyQ -- Jackie @ 2:20: "My real name is Sigmund Jackson, (from) Sigmund Freud." ^^ "I'm getting the name from my aunt. She named me." / Merv Griffin: "Your aunt's name is Sigmund?" (rofl....?)", Jackie: 'No, she named me Sigmund." / Merv Griffin: "Ooh, ah-hah. " LOL ; another one: Merv Griffin: "Do you, guys, get time off, time to yourselves?" Michael: "Sure, when we have our free time, we just mess around in the hotel, go buy fruit (love the association^^).. and Randy.. Tito gambles for Randy..*smiles* No, he doesn't." LOL.......; @ 3:55: Merv Griffin: "How do you handle the girls situation?.. 'Cause that is a..Yes' [Marlon interrupts him:] "Girls only appear in the night clubs back in the theaters and around, they are not staying at the concerts [I believe he says] There's two sisters that..." [Griffin interrupts:] 'No, no no, I'm gonna talk about them in a minute, I mean the girl.. fans!..." LOL....... Marlon: 'Oh, the fans... They knock..[grins mischeviously]. Sometime, they are knocking on our doors and we throw Michael outside." (LOL....or not? ^^) .

So sweet, haven't seen those in a long while. ^^ Thank you for posting them, Ginvid!.. Love how they're rolling Michael over and how he falls exhausted at the end. ^^...
 
Michael was such a sweetheart in the interview, so different from everyone and so unique God bless his little soul.
 
My favorite moments are on Rappin' with Jackson 5 radio-interview. I love it and listen to it all over agan. Michael's voice is so angelic, his laughter is contagious and they all are saying such funny things. I love when they were rappin about favorite music, he said "I like miss Ross... Diana Ross"(he said it with such expression lol)! About girls: "I like their legs big (lol!!!)", and this: "let's see what else i like about gals..." (GALS, Lol!!!) ... such pretty baby Michael :)

Good interview. My favorite part is when Michael is asked about the time his teacher made him stand in a corner for a whole hour for singing in class and Michael said, "well I can't help that I have to sing to stay in tune", lol.
