Imagine a 10 year old sounding better than most artist today

@uncleslime69

This dude came out the womb spinning and singing like an angel. What an absolute ICON.

@t.j.williams4063

This man NEVER had a real childhood. Been a mega star since a fuckin child and never got a break. As talented as he was, as much as he accomplished, shit like dat jus heartbreaking.

@cornishiacherrie4971

Who is still watching in 2024?

@ultramet

No autotune. Just incredible intonation and vocal phrasing. What a gift he was given with that voice.

@LeelosAdventure

Genius doesn’t even come close to describing what this is. This kid was destined to be the king of pop

@karlklein2966

The joy and innocence in his eyes just breaks my heart. He had no idea how brutal the music industry was.

@Sanderly1820

No matter what surgerys MJ had done, that glint in his eyes never changed, truly one of the greatest

@jameskiefer4277

Michael Jackson at 10 is untouchable. The greatest singer of all time.

@zach8960

This dude was 11 and delivered the best live performance ever. This video oozes talent. AMAZING

@videocortos2471

This little boy will deserve a brilliant future as an artist

@bri310

So awesome at that age . Such a gorgeous little boy. He gave his entire life to music entertainment and more. His voice at this age should be studied. I havent heard anything quite like it since.

@homeboy4966

This kid has potential to become one of the greatest music icons of all time

@jcft2012

...And the world met the king of pop.

@Cyndithia68

Such a beautiful child, and so talented.

@henryoneplay5768

Who would have thought that this boy would become the best artist of all time Grande Michael Jackson!!😎

@jackson5116

It's crazy how a junior high kid can already be that refined and have such a stage presence that he had.

@TheCreedBratton

He had the dance moves even back then. The world needs that energy these days. RIP

@michael.theking

There are things that only the King of Pop can do, as they said in the other comment someone 10 years old can sing better than many artists nowadays, it's just Michael Jackson ❤🔥

@tonystephens6858

The composition and vocal harmonies and trade-offs is just awesome.
