Speed Demon official video: • Michael Jackson - Spee...
Speed Demon is not filler, it's one of his best songs.
Speaking the truth!
Exactly. Some of the ones called fillers are the best ones like can't let her get away or DS!
Agree! The filler is “Just Good Friends”
Absolutely agree. Just like I Can't Help It on Off The Wall. Maybe his best track.
Totally agree. For me, this is the best song ever, from Michael Jackson or whomever else. The best song ever. It gives me goosebumps every single time I hear at Speed Demon. Totally love it.
The bridge of Speed Demon has always been one of my absolute favorite singing parts ever done by MJ. Hear it in isolation is like a wish come finally true
listen to that as a child felt like hearing something out of another galaxy. ill never forget that magic.
@@seppelhuber8596 I felt exactly the same
@@seppelhuber8596i felt the same !
🎉yes🎉
Hell yeah! Awesome to hear others appreciate the bridge as I have!✌🏾😎
Pls never stop doing these MJ breakdowns, top top quality content 🙌🏽 thank you mate!
AGREED! 🥰🥰 I absolutely love these MJ breakdowns! ❤️❤️❤️
Yes plz
Why he never performed this one live
is beyond me. such a good track
It would've went so hard at Wembley, like the Gotta Be Starting Something performance
Wanna Be Startin Somethin*
Because he was only thinking in terms of "hits" and when he was on stage he chose to perform only songs that were released as singles. That how commercially driven he was. Always the same songs, show after show, tour after tour... He was more of an entertainer than he was an artist in terms of freedom.
"live"
Speed demon is so underrated. Always loved the rhythm guitar riff and MJ's vocals on this one. Fun fact I heard: MJ wrote this after his car was stopped on the way to an appointment for speeding. He processed the situation by immediately writing speed demon right after.
Did he get stopped by a rabbit ?🤣

@Xalim I heard this story too. Apparently MJ mentioned it to Quincy Jones and Jones said to Mike just to write a song about it.
Actually he was on his way to the studio and he was late cuz of it. He was all pissed and Quincy told him to put it in a song.
mj wrote the lyrics, co-produced and arranged the rhythm and vocals. genius
That's why Quincy Jones was beefing with him during this period. A producer is actually a manager or handler of artists. MJ doing things on his own means he was breaking free from the mind control he was under since a kid.
13:04 MJ was on magic, bro!!
Michael Jackson's fillers worth even more than nowdays top hits..just saying..Thank you Chris once again for your great work. Respect
As a child, I never listened to Speed Demon much, but I grew up and learned to appreciate it.
Same. I did love the one part with the rabbit in moonwalker tho.
@@maximeajavonsame
I was like that with a few other songs of his. But i always grew up with this song
I heard Michael wrote this in minutes after he actually got a ticket for driving fast on his bike cause he was late to the studio. Thanks , Chris
Speed Demon is literally my favourite song in music history. I am hypnotized and jaw dropped and thrilled and excited every single time I hear Speed Demon. This is the ultimate creative genius piece of art from Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones + Bruce Swedien, I have to admit. Unbelievably brilliant and overwhelming. SPEED DEMON ROCKS!!!
This song is so underrated. It's so creative to write a song about getting a speeding ticket. Plus, the baseline of this song is insane. I love the groove of this song. It's is so infectious! I love the diction and syncopation of how he sings the chorus and the uniform tones with almost no vibrato.
I got goosebumps at 'No Stop and Go!' - Love to watch/hear a Dirty Diana breakdown. BAD is my favourite album of all time
Speed Demon, one of his most underrated songs. Great work Chris, as always! Thank you so much.
MJ fans love you. ❤
❤❤ 🔥
OH MY GOSH! These breakdowns make you appreciate the songs even more! There's something about isolating MJ multitracks that makes you want to own them so you can enjoy them separately from the final mix. I wish this was possible. THERE IS SO MUCH WE DON'T HEAR WHEN EVERYTHING IS MIXED TOGETHER. So much is drowned in the noise. That's what makes your videos so delightful. Thank you Chris! I've always loved this song but I needed to hear this, and now I love it so much more 🔥 🔥 🔥
Yeess!!! MJ again. I wish you could be doing "stranger in moscow". This is soooo bluesy and full of soul.
Stranger in Moscow used to give me chills. Soul penetrating. He sang with so much conviction in his voice at the end of the track.
11:03 I AM YOU U ARE ME...Literally my reaction at exact moment:)))
Michael could literally whisper with a grit, wow!
Thank you for this work.
The Bad album is one of those rare albums you don't skip a track.
17:40 Michael jackson was expressing himself with all his soul is not about technich is about feeling, emotion , anger , sadness, hapness, this part right here for me was a game changer , hearing such a masterpiece voice expression from michel , the way he talks to speed demon as it took all his life, and still blame him for not living , it´s just unreal
3:46 The melody with those strings, wow! How could that make you not levitate in the air? 🤩
omg
Frfr
My favorite MJ Song❤
Same. It's super underrated.
Speed Demon is one of my faves... i could die for his vocal ad lips (min 22:44)
I'm surprised you love this song! I love it too
@@for-house-stark why are u surprised?
@@katie4aday511 you didn't really like songs like dirty diana, but you love this one. That's why
@@for-house-stark this one is not "rock" ... and who are you? lol
@@katie4aday511 you don't like rock at all? Beat it? Give in to me? DS? Come on. I can't tell you who I am just yet lol
ive always found it interesting how lihhthearted or happy the chord and melodies are on the bad album but mjs vocals are much more agressive compared to thriller.
His reaction at 11:05 puts a smile on my face lol
The strings I barely even here in the final mix, only now when I go back to listen to the song I can really hear them, thanks Chris❤🇱🇺
Amazing! This is my favorite song in the Bad album. The end instrument is the greatest.
13:03 the King took me to heaven, love it ❤🔥💓💖
This is the best video I've even seen. & btw 17:13 vocals !!🔥🔥
17:13 literally best thing i've ever heard. Damn chris🤯🔥🔥
So great!! Thank you. Can never have too many Michael Jackson dives!!
So in other words Michael Jackson is what happens when a masterful voice actor decides to be a pop star.
YO! I keep saying this! Michael always wanted to do films, but he honestly wasn't the best "actor". He was a performer and music was his trigger. He was, at best, a character actor who needed to hide behind a costume like in The Wiz. But to your point, he really could have been an AMAZING voice actor. He would play phone pranks on people all the time doing that. You are spot on!!
Thank you so much for covering Speed Demon, this has always been my absolute favourite MJ song, insanely underated and WOW, hearing all of that in isolation, was absolutely incredible. That high pitched segment, and hearing all the extra beat boxing and stomping. Thank you Chris! 🙌
Michael could hear the beats an instruments in his head. He would repeated the sounds and beats to his musicians. His musicians always got it right. Michael used to record the sounds and words he heard in this head.
An analysis beautifully done! Loved to see all those little details :3
This made me think all over again that, some people just don’t realize how free, expert and how much ability he had on his voice, like there still who think he was not that great because he would reach some more “virtuous” tone or wouldn’t hold long notes (which he did but not all the time), but they don’t get how hard is to be this agile! Like he could do many many things with his voice, impressive and almost impossible things (for the years of experience and practice) but in such a short time that they don’t hear them, and that’s even harder!
But thankfully we had this kind of videos whether this things can be talked about ✨
Where do you get these stems/multitracks? I know there are a lot out there but I’ve never managed to get Speed Demon, Liberian Girl etc
I remember being fascinated with Speed Demon after first seeing Moonwalker as a toddler in like 90 or 91 (born in late 80’s). When watching the video thousands of times as a kid, I never noticed all the beatboxing and the different instruments like the bass until I heard the song on cassette. Then heard the whole song again on CD like around 2001. It was mind blowing! Everything was a little bit more clearer to me.
I really enjoys these MJ's vocal analysis videos as well as the other instructional ones as they have really helped me to be more confident with my vocals. Thank you for that. Speed Demon is one of my favourites as well. I hope you have more MJ tracks in the future knowing how difficult they are to get hold off.
I didnt know this song was underrated as a "filler". One of my favs
Chris thank you for your exceptional analysis of the MJs songs... You are awesome.I can't believe I could appreciate even more after being a MJ fan for over 30 years the magic, the excellence, the perfection of his art. You really break it down perfectly... Great work, can't have enough
Thank you, thank you, thaaank you for doing this!!! This is definitely one of my favorite MJ song’s and it’s parte of an album that was so unfairly underrated at its time! Like they literally called it “the worst album of the year”
Now is more appreciated but still just the “mainstream songs” (which are incredible), but the whole album is so well done! Honestly, was the reason why I became such a fangirl of his and then I started to appreciate (and then love) music even more
I own this album a lot 😅✨
What a time to be alive.
I’ve been waiting for this one! Speed Demon used to be my LEAST favorite MJ song and then one day it just started to grow on me. Now I think it’s top 3 from the album 😆
That's my favorite song of bad for me ,when l had for the first Time, it was speed démon again,and,again....
Would love to have heard his harmonies
You gotta do IS IT SCARY! Please Please
am just speechless...about every part of this ICONIC song.
I mean all instrumental parts n much much much more important, is his magic voice!
I'll be goddamned.
Amazing reaction.🔥🔥🔥I really enjoyed
When there are videos about MJ, I like before starting the video. Hugs from Brazil, brother
The bass line in chorus is one of the most mind blowing bass lines in history. And you didn’t even mention it!!
I thought speed demon was OK at best for MJ but after watching this video speed demon is now my favorite underrated MJ song
Definitly proving that when you feel the song you must show it while recording. Emotions are powerful. Unfortunately not the case of our signers today.
Love that his favorite parts are my favorite ones too, ‘cause he repeated them over and over again! Ah! Loved it 😍
Speed demon was the reaso why I would ended up without voice after hearing the whole Bad album, this one and Smooth criminal xD just by trying to get the “raspy” voice, but it was totally worth it ✨
My favourite song from BAD. I’ve been listening to this for over 30 years! So percussive!
Magic 🪄 one of my favorite gems. Unbelievable vocals… thanks for bringing them out into the light 🙏
I've been singing Michael Jackson songs my entire life and I'm still learning with these MJ breakdowns, thanks for that Chris 😊🙏
Great work Chris, as always! Thank you so much for this video. Speed demon...
LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT. ❤❤❤
Thank you for all this work and for allowing many to appreciate the genius of this unique artist.
Probably one of the most original arrangements songs a pure, groovy R&B MJ creation, one of my favorites from BAD album.
Speed Demon is such a great song! The range he's singing in is fascinating. From his lowest deep voice to his highest pitch. And to hear it like this just makes it even more precious. We couldn't be more thankful to you, Chris. 🙏🏻 Looking forward to the next MJ multitrack. We are sooo ready for that! 😁
I lived to hear the day of the isolated bridge! That was always a gem waiting to be uncovered 😏
I always had an assumption there was a lotta things going on in this song and guess what Mr Chris liepe u made it right!! Thx for that and also a request can h pls doo the breakdown of dangerous and 2000 watts by mj 🙃🙃 I am really anxious to see that!!!
You should do Stranger in Moscow. THAT, my friend, in my opinion, is one of his best songs ever made, and so underrated!
ABSOLUTELY ❗
Stranger In Moscow has an atmosphere like no other of his songs imo. The rain at the beginning sets the mood for the whole song. Just amazing.
FACTS
I agree, but just one correction. Everything Mike does is the best as he's the GOAT of music 👑🐐💚💞✨️🙌🏽🤩
SO TRUE
OMG Finally we got it. Thank you
Great to see this video, Chris! I became a fan of the song when i saw Moonwalker at the cinema as a child. Couldn't appreciate all the dynamic elements of it until the 2001 remaster, but it's one of MJ's most impressive compositions. It blends pop, rock, soul, Funk, Jazz and blues into one and the vocal performance accentuates this. The bridge is very impressive but I think the higher harmony on the first part of it is even more so, since it shows how strong and high he can go. Best head voice performance since Don't Stop Til You Get Enough, I'd say.
This song is actually a very similar composition to Bad (and even the short film has the same wardrobe and transitions after it on Moonwalker) so it's strange how critics say its filler! 🐰 🛵 🕺🏾
Michael Jackson
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👑👑👑👑👑
Chris, it is fun watching you GEEK OUT to these Michael tracks! Hahahahaha!
You obviously enjoy these equally as both a fan AND a professional & that's what makes this channel hot.
I don't sing but I like to watch music channels. And it's fun watching somebody who knows the technique behind the artistry.
I'm learning stuff just listening to your reactions. You're doing good work, Chris. Keep it up.
written and composed by Michael Jackson - what an amazing talent
Speed Demon is my favorite track off the Bad Album. It took some time for me to fully appreciate it, but the production combined with Michael's energy make it an incredible song. Thank you for covering it!
I never understood why I loved this song so much growing up with the album. Now I do.
Funny note... as a kid, my friends and i always thought it was ..
"Pull up a bar and get your chicken right".... dont ask...
this is one of my favorite songs by MJ. This was a real treat thank u
I’ve been watching all of your MJ vids, and you have very intuitive and productive perspective. I’m a painter and your interpretation and output of info has actually helped me refine my skill since i relate to MJs method and artistry quite a bit, so making sense of what i see and hear in his process/method/work is super helpful thanks to you. Keep up the great work, can’t wait to see more! Thanks.
Masterpiece 👍
Love all the MJ multitracks. Thank you for doing these. It brings out aspects of Michaels voice unknown.
Let’s goo love that you finally got to this classic. Also one of his greatest music videos
Thank you Chris! These MJ breakdowns are great! ❤
If somebody thinks that this is a filler, please just play it when riding your car on a highway. (Also video on moonwalker was awesome.)
Speed Demon is amazing you know..! - Quincy Jones.
I love these Mj breakdowns, thank you so much for making these amazing videos !!!!! So interesting
There were times I would skip Speed Demon but then again this song changed my mind all because of the rhythm and also fits as you're cruising and driving on the road
Once again another MJ masterpiece!!!
Your reactions are giving me life!!! I totally feel the same way about this track! 💕
Stranger in Moscow and maybe butterflies...? ❤️
Awesome as always with these analyses, and yeah , very rare that MJ had any filler songs on his albums. Speed Demon is definitely not a filler song. It as most of his songs has its special place on the album.
Please if possible, do a breakdown of the song "Get on the floor" next!
Bro… you are in my mind, that’s the next one I want and I love speed demon
"Speed Demon" and "Smooth Criminal" are my absolute favorite songs from "Bad."
please do a analysis on Just Good Friends from the Bad album as well, really high energy vocals from MJ and Stevie Wonder!
"Get it" , is a better (imo) duet of him in Stevie.
There’s so much here. Even how the bass line lands on the 7 never resolving to the 1. Once again driving home the tension he created in his vocal performance. This song is nothing less than brilliant execution.
That is sooo cool. Thank you for breaking it down!
The world's best musician and dancer Michael Jackson. His style of dancing and singing music never seems childish. He always sang music in deep voice, so his songs are hit and catchy. He was the only person in the world who performed dance-music together in front of live audience. May her soul rest in peace. From Bangladesh 🇧🇩🆒🇧🇩
Thank you Chris for sharing. That bass and guitar plus his beatboxing together is timeless and after 36 (!!!) years still sounds fresh. I could listen to it for hours.
Speed demon is fire with a background story and a deeper message about profiling.
Now we are waiting for dramatic Who Is It and sexy In the Closet ))
THIS was THEEE ONE I was WAITING FOR!!! I PLAY THIS 1 AT IGNORANT LEVELS. THIS 1 & ANOTHER PART OF ME! SO HAPPY FOR THIS ONE! 👏🏾
WHATT!!!!!!! This is GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU A GAZILLION!!!!
19:28 😭
Been waiting for this one!!!!
Whatever your opinion may be on his personal life+choices, Michael gave his ALL to his music+dance...
As a singer I'm amazed that one person could have so many incredibly demanding and dynamic performances across so many tracks from being a child to an adult.
Obsessed with this track🤯🤯 His voice OMG
Wow impressive 😮😮😮😮 great video! Thank you
Didnt even watch/listen yet, but instant like. Thank you, man
I know nothing about singing but grew up listening to MJ as if no other music existed. Hearing those breakdowns is just magical, and some of your reactions are priceless too 😂 Love it, thanks Chris!
I NEVER comment on your videos. BUT I have to!! Your musical education and enthusiasm, and breakdowns and explanations makes me love all of your Michael videos. It's SO educational and very inspirational. I'm a drummer not a singer but I love good music and YOU pick out all the mini and major parts and go deep with it. Keep up the great work, there's a lot of mediocre videos on RUclips and yours is in another level, I LOVE them!! Thank you so much for the AMAZING content 😊😊
That was really one of the most joyful videos I've seen in a while
Who considers this song to be filler? This song is amazing. The rhythm and the vocals, the guitar riff and the amazing ad-libs at the end. I think there's only one filler song on the Bad album, which is Just Good Friends with Stevie Wonder. Listening to the whole album, it was the only song I didn't like, it's not a bad song, but considering it was a collaboration between Michael and Stevie, they could have written something better. Michael or Stevie could have written something better, it was a wasted collaboration. There's another duet song between the two of them, it's called Get It and it's from Stevie Wonder's album Characters. This second song is a thousand times better than Just Good Friends.
Yea I feel the same. Get It slaps! And I think Price of Fame should’ve replaced Just Good Friends.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with just good friends, lmao. I don't know why so many people give that track such a hard time? I get goosebumps every time I hear it. Michael and Stevie are an awesome combination. I actually think it's better than the girl is mine from Thriller because Paul kinda ruined it and would have been better without a duet. But yeah, every song on the album is absolutely fire, and I think that particular track fits in well with the era, too. My only complaint is that it would have made more sense to have come together from the HIStory album be on the bad album as it was done in the 80s, and there's footage from the movie moonwalker 💯👑🔥💞🖤
Because this song never released as a Single people assumed that it was a 'filler'.
Some do. It's one of the least popular songs on the project, alongside Just Good Friends and I Just Can't Stop Loving You. But it's become my absolute favourite MJ song over the past year or 2. I definitely don't see it as a filler.
No way no how "speed demon" is a filler song. One of the baddest jams Michael has ever done. Come on man, he did a 10-minute video of this. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
