Read that Cher said this was the hardest number she ever did on her show. Trying to keep up with Michael’s dancing was near impossible. He really was from another planet, so much talent.
In this one every single move he does is absolute grace and magic. He was pure talent, pure show, pure entertaining product and that's what destroyed him as a human being.
@@aldnor129 That's what fans want to believe. Conspiracy theories help them deal with the idea he was a "beautiful soul", innocent man and victim. That's what I used to believe too. Michael Jackson was a grown and intelligent man, a killer businessman, a killer competiter, an amazing entertainer a humanitarian AND a child abuser. His crazy life made him lose control and he destroyed himself.

They saw what a magnet he was for opportunistic assholes. They followed him for 10 years and found nothing, nothing! All they found was people trying to get to his money to him.

The rest was just Pandora’s box and soooooo easy a target to just make “accusations” on like Wade Robinson and safechuck what a damn joke those two clowns are.

Stunning and bling bling at is finest. Even decades before "bling bling" became a phrase. Cher, The Jacksons particularly was ahead of their time. Yet right on time!!!
Cher is truly a phenomenal talent! I'm old enough to have watched the Sonny and Cher Show followed by The Cher Show, and even was a huge fan of The Jackson 5ive, as they were called, on albums and on their Saturday morning cartoon. I visited the Jackson childhood home in Gary, Indiana, several years ago because I truly loved them and wanted to say some prayers and pay my respects. This video is precious, so I'm very glad it's here on TH-cam so we can relive those happier days of the care free seventies. I miss those happy times with my parents and grandparents. Thank you
4:39 - this is why Michael is the greatest of all time. That movement is unbelievable! Surely people’s minds were blown seeing this for the first time. Also major props to Cher for completely getting involved with the choreography and busting her chops. Legendary!
certainly! I was totally blown away and had to rewind the video four times 😅 Michael Jackson is amazing and those moves are out of this world! holy shit! unbelievable!
I've been watching many Michael Jackson videos lately and the lean in Smooth Criminal blows my mind. I cannot figure out how he leans so far over. I know it's a special shoe he uses, but still it's amazing to watch.
@@argerinejordan4703 I just mentioned it because when Michael passed she made a point of specifying it was her show when being interviewed by Larry King
There's probably only a handful of people that could hold their own on stage with Michael like this. He really was on another level. What a fantastic slice of history. 🥰
Yeah, but I still would've loved to see him on stage with the only person that could've held their own with MJ...that would be the Godfather! After all, MJ stole every single last one of James Brown's moves in all his earlier performances.
@UlrichW-mm8yz Vocal wise Freddie Mercury was the same level as Mike, but yeah, in terms of dancing James brown one of the few who could match Michael's raw talent and precision.
@@UlrichW-mm8yzConsidering the fact that Michael was literally a kid at the time, "stole" seems quite harsh. Kids learn by imitating. He wasn't trying to rip anyone off. I don't think five-year old Michael was thinking about it in that way at all, he was just trying to look like the grown-ups he idolized. My niece had the entirety of "Let it Go" memorized when she was 2 - including steps, arm and hand motions, and even Elsa's facial expressions. It would be beyond weird to say that my niece stole everything from the movie, or to use that language about any kid, even super successful ones like Michael.
@@dogman5680 I used to dance and sing in heavily choreographed productions- you get pretty winded after 2 songs. That’s why they record it in the studio & lip synch later.
That dancing Micheal does later in this video is very close to a moonwalk. It's done so fast it's basically an optical illusion. You can see how his dancing style is so much more advanced Vs his brothers.
Cher's phrasing in "I'll be there" is absolutely brilliant. She sang, danced and acted up a storm in her show week-in, week-out for years - such a talent.

Yup. Even if simply for the fact that nobody will ever have the “kid to right before off the wall” level of experience and development. Not even a quarter of it. Michael was so immensely gifted from birth, but him having the chance to develop in the Motown system then go through the Jacksons CBS era is just as rare as it comes. The man had enough career experience and refinement for a million artists by the time he went fully solo. We’ll never see a talent like him ever again.
I'm 65, but until I watched Showtime special Motown, I didn't know just how talented Michael was from youth, I don't get all the various drugs in his system, but I really don't get the plastic surgery and skin whitening, he was a very good looking black dude, I'm convinced world wide fame and success can destroy a person with issues, I mean where do you go, or rather, where can you go when you are on top and number one?🤔
Too bad part of his legacy is his sickness and perversion. That will always be there. Sad. I grew up with him and was proud to see his breakthrough as an adult.
OMG !!!! Watching Cher become the "sixth" Jackson is absolutely awesome !!!! So glad I grew up watching all of these phenomenal artists bloom and explode into the mega-talents you see here ! A tour de'force like this could never happen today....most artists have become one hit ego maniacs who could never love and support another artist on the same stage together let alone make beautiful music together , besides the music stinks ! Oh well, thank goodness we have these TH-cam time capsules to revisit some of pop cultures finest moments !......"Umm bop ditty bop" !!! Beautiful, fantastic Michael and his super fine brothers with super talented Cher....great days indeed ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏
Imagine being 4 going on 5 at the time and this being one of your first memories in life! My mom knew her little toddler was OBSESSED with two people. Michael & Cher. One of my first dolls was my Cher doll with the long hair and pink dress. Michael was my first LOVE. My dream guy. I was obsessed with the Sonny & Cher show and The Jacksons variety shows. I never missed either show; or Carol Burnett for that matter. Thank you for years of being a fearless musical & fashion icon Cher!!! You deserve all the flowers. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😘🙏🏾❤️
I wish we still had this kind of programing today. Those 70s variety shows were fabulous. I grew up loving Michael. I still do. I don't remember most of us kids caring about his moves. We were blown away by his voice. Soul ruled then.❤ I adored Cher's fashion sense!
Good music transcends all decades and culture. One of my neices is 5 and she knows just about every song from the 70s. Her parents weren't even born until the mid 80s. The other day she was in the backseat. Begging for me to play sister sledge and " We are family." ❤
They were extremely talented though. Almost perfect. Back then you needed TALENT not looks. And y’all say that but don’t support or pay attention to the normal people 🤷♀️
A generation of music and shows gone forever! There will never be anything like this again!! I remember watching this on TV when it was originally on!!
Cher you're an amazing talent, loving mother, humanitarian, fabulous singer, incredible actor and great dancer! And lastly, you're not afraid to speak your mind!
Jackson five with Cher, at Cher's show might be my favorite Jackson five moments. The musical moments, all looking so easy, simple and fun. I think Cher made MJ feel comfortable, and their performances were like pure joy
Holly Crap, I expect Michael Jackson to move like that but not so much Cher. I have never seen this footage and it is totally amazing. After seeing this I believe that they should have done more together. Maybe have concerts and also sing some Cher songs. I believe the Jackson's and Cher would have made a lot of money and more fame from that.
@@TerryJackson-dq7nn Could you image sitting down with Cher for a few hours and listening to her talk and share stories? That would be an amazing time for anybody.
When Michael was sayin', "Shake it baby" then started pointing to Cher, Cher was shakin' her body down to the ground. Cher took it ALL the way down. It was so fun to see that because that's when television was great during the BEST decade EVER. 1970 thru 1979. Great job Cher. You held your own.
Never really been a huge Cher fan, but man, it looks like she's having a great time out there. Seeing someone else experience so much joy is infectious
Cher's robot 🤖 moves on Dancing Machine is classic!!!!😎😎😂 I had to pause it. started busting out laughing!! I know Cher was getting tired of dancing up there keeping up with The Jacksons feet !💯😎
I Have Always Loved Michael And Cher. She Was None Short Of Keeping Up With MICHAEL And The Jackson 5 At The Time, And Today Cher In Her Seventies Still Reigns Supreme.
Cher must have worked very hard. MJ was unbelievable in terms of singing and his dancing. Cher had to drop into line with the Jackson Five choreography and sing too! She did fair job at what must have been short notice. Those guys were dripping with talent and super tight! Her singing was pretty cool! Wow!
Okay, the guitars were not plugged in but they were Playing. The robot sequence of Michael was mind blowing. Love Cher keeping up with the dancing and the Hair!!! Love this!
I used to watch the Sonny and Cher show, but I do not remember this performance. All I can say watching this well over 40 years later, is how immensely talented the Jacksons were. And that’s a given. They were wonderfully talented artists. However, what also blows me away is how underrated Cher was at the time and has always been by certain critics and how she was always being put down back then, and yet when I watch her, I see someone who worked so hard, who learned, who strived and never expected anything to be given to her and who really deserves her icon status. She worked very hard, to be able to pull this off. This is a wonderful performance for both the Jackson 5 and Cher.
I am a lifelong fan of Cher and always thought her to be a top performer and a great talent. Three years ago, I saw her in concert in Glasgow, something I thought I would never see. Very emotional experience!!!
This was my first time seeing this video. I have a new found respect for Cher. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 she jumped right in line getting down. What can you say about Michael he was made to perform. ❤️
4:37 No effort and how fast MJ glided across that stage was unbelievable.... everybody was 2-steppin' the whole medley and he was making it look so easy....RIP KING 🙏🏽🫡

Yup. Even if simply for the fact that nobody will ever have the “kid to right before off the wall” level of experience and development. Not even a quarter of it. Michael was so immensely gifted from birth, but him having the chance to develop in the Motown system then go through the Jacksons CBS era is just as rare as it comes. The man had enough career experience and refinement for a million artists by the time he went fully solo. We’ll never see a talent like him ever again.
I'm 65, but until I watched Showtime special Motown, I didn't know just how talented Michael was from youth, I don't get all the various drugs in his system, but I really don't get the plastic surgery and skin whitening, he was a very good looking black dude, I'm convinced world wide fame and success can destroy a person with issues, I mean where do you go, or rather, where can you go when you are on top and number one?🤔
If only we all knew back then, just how twisted that head of his was.
Too bad part of his legacy is his sickness and perversion. That will always be there. Sad. I grew up with him and was proud to see his breakthrough as an adult.
OMG !!!! Watching Cher become the "sixth" Jackson is absolutely awesome !!!! So glad I grew up watching all of these phenomenal artists bloom and explode into the mega-talents you see here ! A tour de'force like this could never happen today....most artists have become one hit ego maniacs who could never love and support another artist on the same stage together let alone make beautiful music together , besides the music stinks ! Oh well, thank goodness we have these TH-cam time capsules to revisit some of pop cultures finest moments !......"Umm bop ditty bop" !!! Beautiful, fantastic Michael and his super fine brothers with super talented Cher....great days indeed ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏

Yes I agree
🤦🏽♀️Not the 6th Jackson! Lol🤣🤣💃🏾
Tito has went onto be be with Michael today.
Rest In Paradise Beautiful Brothers🌹🌹💓💓🎸🎤
Imagine being 4 going on 5 at the time and this being one of your first memories in life! My mom knew her little toddler was OBSESSED with two people. Michael & Cher. One of my first dolls was my Cher doll with the long hair and pink dress. Michael was my first LOVE. My dream guy. I was obsessed with the Sonny & Cher show and The Jacksons variety shows. I never missed either show; or Carol Burnett for that matter. Thank you for years of being a fearless musical & fashion icon Cher!!! You deserve all the flowers. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😘🙏🏾❤️
💞💞💞🤩🤩🤩🔥🔥🔥
Same!!!❤️
Me too!!!
I loved all those including the Beetles and even Elvis, Barbara Streisand and Diana Ross, and Donna Summers.
Look on TH-cam for the Jackson 5 on the Carol Burnett Show.
I wish we still had this kind of programing today. Those 70s variety shows were fabulous. I grew up loving Michael. I still do. I don't remember most of us kids caring about his moves. We were blown away by his voice. Soul ruled then.❤ I adored Cher's fashion sense!
The talk shows were good too
Now we have idiots in a mask and costume😂
See my dad and his brothers were big on his dancing too!
I love their dance moves!
I love this!!! I was a teenager in the 70s so this was what i listened to. Im 61 now and still listening. Classic art never goes out of style. RIP MJ.
Awesome 👏
They have a soulful voice!
This is my favorite song 🎶 so tell me are you a fan of Cher-Medley
👍✌️
Good music transcends all decades and culture. One of my neices is 5 and she knows just about every song from the 70s. Her parents weren't even born until the mid 80s. The other day she was in the backseat. Begging for me to play sister sledge and " We are family." ❤
When he was the prince before becoming the king of Pop.
Love how they vocally complimented eachother ❤
You can say that again
They have a soulful voice!
This is my favorite song 🎶 so tell me are you a fan of Cher?
Chers voice is surprisingly slightly deeper than Michaels but both of their vocal ranges are about the same
Of course they would shine off each other! 😊
These were the good old days music and dancing (pure talent). I loved Cher's show and never missed it
You can say that again 👏
They have a soulful voice!

Cher definitely held her own!!! This is my first time seeing this and I didn't know she could dance like that!!! 👏👏👏👏👏..
Cher was one of the most talented performers of the 70s. Her weekly show with her husband sonny was brilliant. Lots of clips on here
She's so phenomenal. 😊❤
Right!
There should be a very best of Cher video release of all the dozens and dozens of rarities not seen in years.
Neither did I. She killed that robot!
Cher’s incredible. Her voice is absolutely gorgeous
Back in the days when people didn't need to be perfect, and yet were absolutely gorgeous.
It looks so funn . So much competition now
They were extremely talented though. Almost perfect. Back then you needed TALENT not looks. And y’all say that but don’t support or pay attention to the normal people 🤷♀️
That part...
I love these two and I can't believe this actually happened 🎊
Que te has tomado?
A generation of music and shows gone forever! There will never be anything like this again!! I remember watching this on TV when it was originally on!!
Truth Indeed

Because TV hasn’t been the predominant visual entertainment for quite some time.

Its funny, i missed most of all this old stuff when it cam out. But now in my 60s, I can go from today's talent and go back to the 20s!
I loved ‘The Sonny and Cher Show’ and ‘The Cher Show.’ What talent!
Cher you're an amazing talent, loving mother, humanitarian, fabulous singer, incredible actor and great dancer! And lastly, you're not afraid to speak your mind!
Jackson five with Cher, at Cher's show might be my favorite Jackson five moments. The musical moments, all looking so easy, simple and fun. I think Cher made MJ feel comfortable, and their performances were like pure joy
Amazing performance by two Music Legends. R.I.P The King of Pop.
This is absolutely television magic Mike and Cher just cutting up singing and dancing I mean it’s so pure and beautiful
I use to love to watch her shows, especially to see her costumes! They were fabulous!
I love how Cher showed out and got down at 5:18. She presented 100%🥰
Compare this to ellen dancing around
Cher has always been talented. She knew how to put on a show.
Holly Crap, I expect Michael Jackson to move like that but not so much Cher. I have never seen this footage and it is totally amazing. After seeing this I believe that they should have done more together. Maybe have concerts and also sing some Cher songs. I believe the Jackson's and Cher would have made a lot of money and more fame from that.
@@eugeneflorence4355 Cher did well without Sonny Bono. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
@@eugeneflorence4355 never can say goodbye was hard
@@TerryJackson-dq7nn Could you image sitting down with Cher for a few hours and listening to her talk and share stories?
That would be an amazing time for anybody.
@@TerryJackson-dq7nn She has done so much and I even forgot that she won an Oscar. Holly crap what an Amazing person.
Love hearing I Want You Back & I'll Be There in Michael's grown up voice. Haven´t found too many clips of him singing his early hits, as an adult.
When Michael was sayin', "Shake it baby" then started pointing to Cher, Cher was shakin' her body down to the ground. Cher took it ALL the way down. It was so fun to see that because that's when television was great during the BEST decade EVER. 1970 thru 1979. Great job Cher. You held your own.
She did hold her own. I didn't know she could dance like that.
Exactly
Cher said imma shake
Ypu do realize we all just watched the same video! Thanks for the recap lol what a waste
Shake it baby..then his iconic vocal flower AaâAéaa
Cher was great with Mj
I have to be honest… This is probably one of the only performances where my eyes aren’t glued to Cher! Rest in love and light Michael🙏🏼🦋💖
Never really been a huge Cher fan, but man, it looks like she's having a great time out there. Seeing someone else experience so much joy is infectious
This is so awesome, Cher always had great guests and numbers on her show. She did a great job keeping up with MJ, who looked so happy and healthy.
Cher is ageless, timeless. Cannot imagine that this act is 47 years old. Cher you are fantastic !!!
CHER WAS ALWAYS TALENTLESS!
Cher's robot 🤖 moves on Dancing Machine is classic!!!!😎😎😂 I had to pause it. started busting out laughing!! I know Cher was getting tired of dancing up there keeping up with The Jacksons feet !💯😎
The King! His amazing fluid dancing even back then.
I Have Always Loved Michael And Cher. She Was None Short Of Keeping Up With MICHAEL And The Jackson 5 At The Time, And Today Cher In Her Seventies Still Reigns Supreme.
Cher must have worked very hard. MJ was unbelievable in terms of singing and his dancing. Cher had to drop into line with the Jackson Five choreography and sing too! She did fair job at what must have been short notice. Those guys were dripping with talent and super tight! Her singing was pretty cool! Wow!

@@AC-mp7cx the music industry in the US seems to have a reputation for burning so many of its stars out. Not sure what NPC Means…
Its all lip syncing
They aren’t singing live though
they were also super tight because their dad threatened them with beatings if they weren’t perfect
4:39 Geez, Michael's dancing was so smooth and effortless. What talent.
Yea, he was pretty smooth, but it wasn't a good robot, though.
@@fostermac7170 It was just fast
@@JordanSmith-qu3vd You're right.
@@fostermac7170it’s supposed to be on beat lol
@@Thatonequitekid2 Yea, that's right, laugh.
Okay, the guitars were not plugged in but they were Playing. The robot sequence of Michael was mind blowing. Love Cher keeping up with the dancing and the Hair!!! Love this!
Hello Julia
How are you doing today?
This is an iconic performance! Cher had the Jackson 5, on her show several times! She has always kept in step! Loved this! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I used to watch the Sonny and Cher show, but I do not remember this performance. All I can say watching this well over 40 years later, is how immensely talented the Jacksons were. And that’s a given. They were wonderfully talented artists. However, what also blows me away is how underrated Cher was at the time and has always been by certain critics and how she was always being put down back then, and yet when I watch her, I see someone who worked so hard, who learned, who strived and never expected anything to be given to her and who really deserves her icon status. She worked very hard, to be able to pull this off. This is a wonderful performance for both the Jackson 5 and Cher.

Because this is the Cher show, not the Sonny and Cher show.
I am a lifelong fan of Cher and always thought her to be a top performer and a great talent. Three years ago, I saw her in concert in Glasgow, something I thought I would never see. Very emotional experience!!!
Agreed 😆😆😆😆😆😆
Ok boomer
This was my first time seeing this video. I have a new found respect for Cher. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 she jumped right in line getting down. What can you say about Michael he was made to perform. ❤️
This show was on every Sunday night. She had the best guests on her show! It was so fun to watch.

Right? How have I never seen this before?
Give it up for Cher she was amazing
So fun and entertaining. Cher is an icon. No one can deny Michael was a pure talent. Loved listening to them both growing up and sharing with my kids.

Michael absolutely destined for greatness. No matter how many people he performed around, he stood out without trying.
Now this is some real singing & dancing!! They are the best!! Love the robot moves!!♥️♥️👏
No…it’s lip syncing and dancing,but still
It's pre recorded lip sync, but they still put in the hard work to match it and dance.....SALUTE 🫡.

4:37 No effort and how fast MJ glided across that stage was unbelievable.... everybody was 2-steppin' the whole medley and he was making it look so easy....RIP KING 🙏🏽🫡
I can't help feeling sad while watching the very energetic, super talented Michael Jackson, whom noone even now, can ever outshine on a stage!!!
Where did the years go, I remember watching this when I was in my early teens.....
What a time those years were. 😢
R.I.P . Micheal
That brought tears to my eyes. Cher was so beautiful when she was young, and Michael was always a prodigal talent -- I loved the Jackson 5 so much.
She’s still beautiful.
4:38 That dude was absolutely electric, it was phenomenal. And I'm sure not many knew that night, just how high our king pop would fly...
I loved how they were actually ad-libbing the music and we could hear glimpses of Michael making himself an icon w his vocal styles.
This is the greatest moment of all variety shows. I think about this medley at least 3 times a week 50 years later.
Wow mj with so much talent cher didn't no what she what he was doing like he is from a different planet 😮
I don’t remember watching this as a kid but I can say Cher was gettin it, she hit all the steps on all the songs. You go Cher!
All these moves while singing LIVE! Incredible!!
No…they’re lip syncing, still a great performance
@@dogman5680 lol seriously people weren't exactly wirelessly mike'd back then.
Yes, they were lip syncing. But, they could do it all Live just as flawlessly
Artist always lip synced for these variety shows bank then and so what right? The host and their special guest were all so talented back then!
Singing live without mikes???
MJ was so natural ❤️Nice boys without any beauty operations !! Cher was fantastic 😍
Cher was hanging right with them ❤ I remember this in real time. It was soooooo goooood ❤
There will never be another Michael J. He was is still always be THE BEST!
This is so magical. Those are some well deserved silver sparklies on those outfits. Love it. 💖
Oh yes nobody can compete with Bob Mackie!!!
@@jduce68 I know he designed her Oscar dress? I think? Didn't know he worked on her shows too. Whoever did this it's the most 70's thing the 70's ever did.
This has given me so much life! It’s nearly 5am and I’m jamming to this masterpiece along with the owls that are keeping me company. This is total class!
SAME! 5:10AM here and I need to go to sleep but this sh.t got me psyched!!
0334am.
Greetings from 🇯🇵
@@スカイハイ-q9e pleased to meet you!
Cher's glittering, complimentary afro was absolutey melted my heart...
The vocal sync between Cher and Micheal is perfect!
All were amazing!
Michael was the entertainer of the century!
I love how you can tell how much fun she’s having
When Michael did the robot has got to be one of the most iconic dance moves ever👑FOREVER THE KING OF POP👑
This is when music 🎶 🎵 was actually music 🎶 🎵. Cher you and the Jackson 5 are putting on a fabulous performance 🎉🎉
I smiled throughout that entire performance. Just beautiful!!!
Me too because I am a qualified lesbian
man, this is a timeless jewel, with no estimated value.
