    I think you guys could sing the phonebook and make it sound amazing!! Your voices are incredible. I’m liking this “Off the Kuff” very much.

    Once again you gave me goose bumps! The harmony you guys have is such a God given talent! And you are such humble guys that I believe God is overjoyed at the power of your voices singing. Thanks for a great J5/MJ tribute. I’m with Lisa on the next tune. The phonebook!
    Thanks to the “guru of the internet” I found you guys. Had never heard of you before last Nov. But, now, I’m not leavin’!
    Be blessed, my brothers! :)

    That was awesome! A cappella, with piano, with the full band- all of it- amazing! I will repost for my friends too. The song that came to mind to request is Me and You – Brian McKnight.

    the amazing thing, anyone else sings that, and it could mean anything. but when you bring it home, it sounds like The Lord singing a love song to us.

    Beautiful. I grew up listening to the Jackson 5 and Micheal Jackson. But you brothers have the voices of angels. I would love to hear our song (my husband and mine) Always and Forever by Heatwave. May God continue to bless all of you and us with those angel voices!!!!

    I remember, quite a few years ago, the five of you traveling with Rich Wilkerson. I was working sound and lights at a church in Sacramento called Capital Christian Center. You vocals amazed everyone there. I have been blessed seeing you all, working a little with you, introducing you to snow at a youth camp with Rod Jones in NorCal.
    Hearing your vocals now and seeing what God has been doing, your tribute to MJ is awesome. You also picked the right song to do, “I’ll be there.” It now only showed off the talent God has give you but also, even though not originally intended by the Jackson’s, it is a reminder that God will Always be there.
    Many applauds to you all.

    I was recently in the Philippines where I was able to build some really close friendships. I was sitting here missing them. As I listened to you guys sing this song it lifted my spirit. I dedicated this song to them. There’s something about a song that can touch a heart when nothing else can. Thanks for always being such a blessing.

    Well Done, Praise God!!! My husband Sili would like to request “Beautiful Boy” from John Lennon. He would love to hear this song with your style. We are blessed with three beautiful boys and my heart’s prayer is for my boys to grow up honoring Jesus as you boys are, so this song is dedicated to our boys, a future worship team:)

    Great job! Your harmony was incredible.I grew up listening to MJ and watching his videos (The man was genius), and it was hard to believe that he passed away.

    I think somebody else made this request for future “off the kuffs”, and I’m going to join in with them and say the Winans “Tomorrow” would be a good song to do.Then again with your harmony, anything will sound good.

    Hey K5, I just happened to catch this shortly after you posted it – what a most pleasant surprise it was. What a fun idea – can’t think anything of yet, but I’ll be sending requests your way. All I can think of now is BASS Solo!!! YEAH!! I also heard your National Anthem – oh man oh man oh man you guys are so gifted. I’ve so enjoyed reading your blogs, listening to your music. We have been so blessed and inspired by your gifts. I’m keepin’ kool all summer, listening to Katinas and filled with chills the whole time. Great seeing you in O’side and Gardena, I’ll see you at Harvest! Blessings to all of you!

    JD VAKALA

    This is the first gospel song of M. Jackson I hear from, it’is nice. However, I would like to know more about you and the King of Pop for you’re a holy people and a kingly priesthood according to 1Peter 2.9.
    Certainly,I’m also concerned about his death and I feel sorry for him and his family,mostly I question his faith, though I’m not a judge.Is he saved? As the Bible says “What
    good will it be for you to gain the whole world,
    yet forfeit your soul? Or what can you give in exchange
    for your soul?” (Mt 16.26)
    So, I urge you brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to be focused on your mission which far different from M.Jackson. You are soul winners and through your songs we draw near God.
    I’m looking forward to seeing you in Africa.

    You Brothers really are blessed in every way. God has anointed you to bless the entire world. The first time I heard you guys was in Manassas, Va., last year and I enjoyed you then and hope to see you again. This song is considered secular, but there is a message in it.

    Great job gentlemen……really outstanding….
    Id like hear another harmony heavy song like “Remember the Time” (if its not too racy…LOL) That chorus is really smooth and has great harmony towards the end….I have the acapella track to it and you can really hear the intricacies of the vocals…..Thanks again guys!

    Thee Queen

    I am claiming to be your #1 secret fan. I long to be in Samoa someday- don’t know why I have that connection being the sista’ that I am. :)

    I follow and love everything you do! “Off the Kuff”- love the idea, and I enjoyed your tribute to my boy MJ. I also enjoyed your “Pocket Full of Sunshine” rendition.

    I would have to disagree with JD V. I don’t believe your mission is far different from MJ’s. I don’t think people knew him or grossly understood him. Not that I personally did either, but I discern that he lived in a creative reality that wasn’t typical for most men. In reading his lyrics he was a man that wanted peace and healing for the world -especially for those who don’t usually have an advocate-children.

    The difference perhaps is that God’s presence through your music reaches the spirit & break bondages while MJ’s touched souls- the anointing is different. You sing specifically about the ultimate healing for the world which is through Jesus. I’m sure MJ would not have disagreed with you. (Some people need to do their research!)

    Keep doing what you do men of God! I pray that God continues to promote you and put you before the men so that they may find Him. God Bless you and your families!

    Fantastic! Loved hearing you live in South Beach earlier this year — hope we can arrange it again! Till then, these videos will have to do — and they will do just fine!!! When y’all sing it, it’s a God-song, no matter what the writer intended it for.
    I’ve listened to you for years — and you only get better as the years go by!!
    Thanks for sharing your lives & talents with your fans.

    Truly amazing and a very nice and talented tribute to such a shy and talented entertainer who has touched many lives – of many thousands of people around the globe that he didn’t even know… I watched the reruns of the memorial today b/c I was at work during the live feed and, ya know, no matter what anyone has to say that is hateful and unfounded about him and what he was accused of through the years, he still was an amazing entertainer, loving father and caring friend who is loved by many and his legacy will live on forever. His daughter made me cry like a baby.
    Thanks for that tribute guys. I knew you would.
