IMO this is the greatest scripted performance by an actor portraying someone else in history. This dude wasn't imitating MJ. He BECAME Michael Jackson. Incredible performance.
Man him an these guys ate the Jacksons food. This performance was better than any Jackson actual performance. They ate their food 😂 especially at the end they killed it.
I agree. As a fan of Marvel and Star Wars, Let me get this straight, So Billy Dee Williams, who played Berry Gordy is Lando Calrissian from "Star Wars". Angela Bassett, who played Katherine is Ramonda from "Black Panther". Bumper Robinson, who played Jackie (Ages 12-16) is the voice of Falcon from "Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 - The Black Order" video game by Nintendo/KOEI TECMO Games, is that about right?
They killed that shit!!! Hands down!!!!! Salute to them actors who portrayed all of them especially Wylie Draper man he was a beast with it!!!!! He made mike proud 💯 #RipMichaelJackson #RipWylieDraper #LegendsNeverDie
BEST Michael impression ever. Sadly Wylie Draper (actor playing Michael in this movie) passed away back in '93. Then 17 years later we lost the Original. :( RIP Wylie, RIp Michael
Oscy And I personnally think he moves way to much. He's doing too much, and that makes his performance look... less good. The triple spin at the end rocked though :p
TAS Jarrett He DID an AMAZING job! I mean not everyone can do the moves Michael did and with his aura...I just thought it was too obvious he was lip syncing that's all...
ULTIMATEbudokai3 not really everyone did well for the most part Micheal was lead for dancing and vocals which is partly why he went single the others didn’t have to do much but be on point with choreography and singing minus Tito and Jermaine who had to play at the same time but still they weren’t supposed to be doing everything Michael was doing either
Wylie Draper did so well playing Michael, I dont know how anybody is gonna top this. Jaafar is gonna have to bring his A game in his uncle's upcoming biopic. God bless him. Side note: Michael hand picked Wylie himself. God bless Michael.
Actually...i always said that. They killed it more than The real Jacksons themself. It was more dynamic. The Jacksons and Michael never did it like that. The Victory Tour wasn't all that except for the Billie Jean part of Victory Tour.
Wylie goes SO hard at 2:05 he almost goes ahead of the beat! This has been my PART for 30 years. I remember getting up trying to do it when it first aired (I am old).
Girl, I can't tell you how many times I would rewind just to watch that part, that and the spin at the end of dance number 2:37, legit! Wylie Draper was beyond talented, may he rest in peace
Hahaha yes! Don't forget about Get Rich Die Trying (With 50 cent). Wanna blow your mind more.... Watch Hustle and Flow (song "It's hard out here for a pimp")
The actors playing the Jacksons did a great job. It was like watching the real Jacksons on stage. The guy playing Michael even danced like Michael. RIP to Michael and Draper. Both were so talented.
@@4thecollectorsI think he played the oldest brother Jackie. Now it’s hard for me to watch this and true suspend my disbelief because whenever I Terrance in the show all I can think about is the memes! Like the “mane” memes! I saw one and it said something like yeah, I was in Ironmane lol… you had to be there to get the joke👀😬🤦🏾♂️. Lol
Lawrence Hilton Jacobs did a good job playing their dad Joe Jackson too. And of course Angela Bassett did a great job playing Katherine Jackson. Very good movie.
That's sad as shit that this guy died a year after airing this movie, and I didn't hear about this until today. Hand picked by Mike himself to play this part, he fucking died happy. I sure as shit would've.
I love this song. My favorite part is when he says"just like Jacky in grade school"the thing he does with his waist.....MJ a legend to be remembered for life....Love youuu...
Wylie Draper and Terrance Howard and everyone did a really good job potraying my icon. They actually could sing and harmonize. The personality traits were great. RIP Wylie Draper. Been watching since I was born. Watching in 2017 how bout u
This scene quite possibly is the most believable bio epic moment ever caught perfectly. Every single actor, was talented than any actor today to be able to act and dance like that. Absolutely unbelievable how believable this moment was.
They played this miniseries on various channels in honour of MJ's death back in '09 & many ppl were surprised that Wylie Draper had died in '93 of Leukaemia.
Wow this brother nailed it hard. I didn't even realize it was not Michael Jackson until I started reading comments. His energy was just like Michael Jackson; the best impersonator I've ever seen portrayed MJ. Ohhb danng he died too soon. Rip Legend 🙏
This is an awesome performance! The energy is just so explosive 🤩 😁😁😁 S/N: Terrence Howard is playing Jackie... He was like: “The love you saved “mayne” lol 😂
the casting of this was so well done. I remember watching this for an entire day binging off from school. They don’t make tv mini series like this anymore
0:15-0:24 & 1:03 are my favorite parts!!! I love this song man....they definitely killed it. Wylie was everything for the portrayal of Michael! Excellent job. (claps hands) And that's huge coming from me because I'm a die-hard MJ fan, OK! LOL I'm about to watch this movie again right now just because of these comments. ;-)
Well done my brothas, so well done. Rest In Peace to Mr. Wylie Draper (brotha who played MJ). Such a talented young man who was taken far too soon after being diagnosed with Leukemia right after filming this mini series. He passed at the age of only 24 years old smh. Such a tragedy man. He did an amazing job in this movie, just wow. Much love and respect to him.
Watching this movie made think even more that Michael shouldn't have died. But Rest In Peace king of pop. I grew up to you and I'm a 90s baby. Thank you for the nostalgia, I saw you on Rockin with the chipmunks on VHS.
IMO this is the greatest scripted performance by an actor portraying someone else in history.
This dude wasn't imitating MJ. He BECAME Michael Jackson.
Incredible performance.
yep
bigstink9 omg yes he did..!!
bigstink9 He was imitating, its an actor.
sad that he dead😭😭😭
josaiah
Til this day, Wylie Draper is still the only actor who played Michael Jackson to pure perfection... God rest his soul 😔🙏🏾🕊
Man him an these guys ate the Jacksons food. This performance was better than any Jackson actual performance. They ate their food 😂 especially at the end they killed it.
❤❤my man!!
I can’t wait to see Jafar Jackson’s
Let’s not forget about Jason Weaver
That was mostly awful and cringy
This is by far the best Michael Jackson Impersonation I’ve ever seen.
@Vahn Williams I’ve seen a lot of impersonations, and Wylie embodied Michael perfectly.
@@_chade fax
Michael Jackson worked with him during the movie with choreography
My family didn’t believe me when I told them it wasn’t actually Michael!
@Vahn Williams lies
This casting was perfection

Honestly they did better here than the original motown 25.
@@YoungBoss212this is the victory tour not Motown 25 🫤
Yet the whole thing was a cringe fest
@YoungGoated didn't sing nor play any instruments just danced
This whole scene was PURE ENERGY! I remember as a kid getting hyped up during this scene! Draper and the other guys KILLED it!
Electrifying!!
@nicholasgreen339 that's one of Jermaine Jackson sons that's playing his role
Same
This Movie, The Temptations Story and The New Edition Story are the best Musical Bio Movies ! All 3 movies had the best actors play in them!!
YES 100%.
You forgot Tina turner and Selena
He dance. Just. Like. Him. And. Sounds like him too! !!
Bobby brown story
Deanta Smith 👍Yup. And now we can add The New Edition Story, too.
The guy who plays Michael did a pretty good job portraying him.
+Muslimah Princess you're taking it too far
+Muslimah Princess True...just like Chris Brown is a better dancer than Mike was
+Muslimah Princess way to far no one can beat the original MJ have you seen the spin in speed demon
Cool Dorkz MJ wasn't actually original
+Matthew Williams he created the dab
They killed that shit!!! Hands down!!!!! Salute to them actors who portrayed all of them especially Wylie Draper man he was a beast with it!!!!! He made mike proud 💯

WhaaaaaAAATT??? I didn’t know he passed away!!!! And that couldn’t have been but so long after this came out.... such a shame :( rip
Today's kids don't know about sitting through all 5 hours of this when it came on tv
Man look, lol
Sho don't. You betta ask somebody!
i was born the year he died and he died a couple weeks before i was born . i’ve loved him from the moment i entered this earth
@@vlonelb SAME!
Rightttt
Wylie Draper was a great choice, he has the energy that Michael had, R.I.P. Wylie and Michael, I hope you two are having fun dancing together.
i think he had more energy than michael

Granted, Wylie didn't have to do a ton of shows touring in a row.
Oscy And I personnally think he moves way to much. He's doing too much, and that makes his performance look... less good. The triple spin at the end rocked though :p
TAS Jarrett He DID an AMAZING job! I mean not everyone can do the moves Michael did and with his aura...I just thought it was too obvious he was lip syncing that's all...
+anointed2wait But it was Drapers voice here.
Wiley Draper was a beast! His performance gives me goose bumps, that spin at 2:38 was SOLID! RIP the late GREAT MJ, RIP Draper.
2:36
Terrace Howard was also one of the brothers
This guy was definitely the BEST MJ portrayed in film.
Everyone else that played MJ in other films sucked bad!
ULTIMATEbudokai3 not really everyone did well for the most part Micheal was lead for dancing and vocals which is partly why he went single the others didn’t have to do much but be on point with choreography and singing minus Tito and Jermaine who had to play at the same time but still they weren’t supposed to be doing everything Michael was doing either
Wow yall hate even the fake jacksons brothers smh
@@damienlomax1946 Pretty sure he was saying other portrayals of Michael, not the brothers in this movie
Nah, teenage Mike was great too. The youngest wasn't very good, but kids generally aren't.
No they not
The foot work at 1:04 it’s straight 🔥🔥🔥 Wylie Draper absolutely destroyed this performance…the best I’ve ever seen anyone portray MJ
Facts frm tha spin. To tha foot slide, into tha foot work , and tha electricity shimmy. Was all pure genius. 😊
Bro understood the assignment before that phrase was even coined 👌🏾🔥🔥 Just from the simple walk in intro 0:10
So fire
Wylie Draper did so well playing Michael, I dont know how anybody is gonna top this. Jaafar is gonna have to bring his A game in his uncle's upcoming biopic. God bless him. Side note: Michael hand picked Wylie himself. God bless Michael.
Preach
Trust and believe jaafar is gonna blow it outta the park
One of my favorite performances from the movie. All of them killed it. I low-key like this version better than the original.
frrrrrr
It's really good....
What’s the name of this song
@@samuelanyaegbu2297 the love you save
Actually...i always said that. They killed it more than The real Jacksons themself. It was more dynamic. The Jacksons and Michael never did it like that. The Victory Tour wasn't all that except for the Billie Jean part of Victory Tour.
I’ve rewinded this clip at least 10 times!! This look and sounds almost like the real deal! Wylie set the bar high
Couldn't tell him he wasn't mike😂😂😂 he nailed this shid
1:00-1:10 has to be some the best dancing I've seen in my life
I KNOW it's ridiculous!
Wylie goes SO hard at 2:05 he almost goes ahead of the beat! This has been my PART for 30 years. I remember getting up trying to do it when it first aired (I am old).
No ma'am cause this is my PART too like I was practicing those dance moves
My favorite part of this scene.
The actors did an amazing job with the movie in general but especially this performance. Watched this movie countless times growing up.
Wylie killed the role as Michael Jackson tbhh
When i was younger i actually thought he was Michael lol
@@Deek2Concious He most certainly did!
The nostalgia this gives my heart ❤️
THAT PART!!!
This movie meant alot in my childhood days. So sad I didn't get the chance to see the Jackson 5 and MJ in their prime days.
Same exact feelings with me
Same for me. Glad that I got to witness this movie growing up.
When I first saw this I thought Draper was actually an MJ clone! Impressive acting on his behalf. May he and Michael rest in peace.
Bra i thought that was him.
Well i was little when i thought that.☺
+theanimatedgirl@@#$%# I remember as a kid, asking my mom if MJ was actually in the movie.
Janaka Manobah yah i told my dad that was mj he just laughed noticing how cute it was. lol
DMAN870-NLOCK
DMAN879-NLOCK me too
So iconic nobody could have portrayed this movie better than them
1:02 yoooooo Wylie is off the chain! Look at that footwork!
Girl, I can't tell you how many times I would rewind just to watch that part, that and the spin at the end of dance number 2:37, legit! Wylie Draper was beyond talented, may he rest in peace
Boo thats just bif FACT
Right i watch that part the most. It’s locked in perfectly to the rhythm.
Best part lol
One of the BEST movies ever.. I can never turn the channel when I catch this!! The Temptations and Five Heart Beats are also in that category for me
he’s literally so smooth with the dance moves.
This movie was like 40 hours long but every time it came on vh1, I would sit there and watch the whole thing lol
You are not alone! Pun intended!
This is the best version of this song. Wylie Draper as an actor portraying MJ as a performer did amazing!!!! He could have been a superstar himself!
Nah the original is still the best
No one ever replicated MIchael Jackson to a tee like Wylie Draper and no one will ever come close.
RIP Wylie and Michael god bless.
damn Lucious Lyon was a Jackson too?!?! lol what a career lmao
u dumbbbb lol lol lol
Bahahaha I can't wit you
😂😂😂Dead
Lmao
Hahaha yes! Don't forget about Get Rich Die Trying (With 50 cent). Wanna blow your mind more.... Watch Hustle and Flow (song "It's hard out here for a pimp")
Wylie draper was really gettin it in
MandZproductions9700 on me he was!!! He went beast mode

RIP
And Terrence Howard
He was
@@mrgoodvibes1995 can't forget about Terrance 😂😂😂
I think the Michael Jackson in his soul! He became him and recreated him perfectly
Yes
Yes yes!
The actor died way before MJ.
The actors playing the Jacksons did a great job. It was like watching the real Jacksons on stage. The guy playing Michael even danced like Michael. RIP to Michael and Draper. Both were so talented.
It really felt like we had traveled back in time and were watching the Jacksons life right before our eyes. Incredible performance and biopic.

@@brittanyKuchiki u can watch it on CZcams they have free clips
Angela Bassett is the GOAT as actresses, in my opinion!
he played the Michael Jackson role nice
That's sad as shit that this guy died a year after airing this movie, and I didn't hear about this until today. Hand picked by Mike himself to play this part, he fucking died happy. I sure as shit would've.
@JUSTIN BLACK Leukemia
He passed away after the movie
Not only that, MJ also gave him a dancing part (Or non speaking acting role)in the "Remember the Time" music video.
Everyone keep talking about the actor for MJ, shoot, THEY ALL DID EXCELLENT WORK !!! 💯
Wylie did really good as playing Mike. Sadly, we lost both of them. May they both dance forever above
Can't no body play Michael Jackson good as he did. 😍😍😍😍
I absolutely love these talented young men..I love the way they move in Sync😊
I get chills everytime. This movie is truly chefs kiss.
Personally my favorite Jackson 5 song! I love this song!
Michael had the biggest grin on his face when he saw this. I just know it. Draper did very well. R.I.P. to both
I love this song. My favorite part is when he says"just like Jacky in grade school"the thing he does with his waist.....MJ a legend to be remembered for life....Love youuu...
Wylie played the best Michael Jackson yet all these other clowns that they're trying to script are trash he definitely became Michael Jackson
Oh Yeah
The jacksons were good to dame
Fist he do not sound like mj but he look like him

It's amazing how perfectly he nailed the choreography. Wow.
I never knew Michael Jackson been through so much in his life so hurtful so much pain hope his resting in peace 😓😓😓😓😓😓😇😇
And that was all before Thriller. Imagine a movie based after Thriller ? smh
Omg this performance 😩🔥🔥🔥🔥
The voices at the end almost had me in tears😭❣

I still watch this. Never get old.
Always loved this version. Listen to it more than the original honestly
Cmon it’s good but over the original

They honestly pulled that choreography off better than the real Jacksons did, just had a little more energy and crispness in their movements.
I know you lying
