I always laugh at how NO interview EVER asked about his songwriting process, and it took a COURT ROOM DEPOSITION for us to get this golden knowledge on how he created his music.
Watching this, i can't wait for the day somebody makes a claim on the following song.....google WHY? by JASMINE LAMPORT.... I was looking for something to stretch and test Jasmine's beautiful voice so i picked up a piece of paper which i'd written a lyric of about 300 words the day before and took it back again in lyrical content until all that was left were between about 17 and 19 words which said what i wanted to say....WHY?,...WHY,...WHY,..WHY?,...WHY?,.....WHY?WHY DID YOU LEAVE, BECAUSE YOU'RE GONE, WHY DID YOU GO AWAY....then i asked Jasmine to sing the word WHY? with a variety of notes.... .....and it's deep...and yes, repetitive....and yet, if you think that, come back to the song when or after you have tasted great loss....i have watched grown men(and women) well up in tears within three to four of Jasmine's "WHY?'s". Something is happening with it though...a top critic panned it because of repetition...then he was panned by a member of JOE PUBLIC...and she went on to admit to BUYING,yes BUYING(not streaming) all three of Jasmine's songs...on the strength of one listen of "WHY?". Might be an interesting day in court.
Everyone who interviewed him pissed away their time on nonsense. It would be like going back and asking Michelangelo who he was dating instead of how he was an artist.

Heck beatles and prince fanbase are the most deluded and fallacious. They keep spamming everywhere that MJ took credits of other musicians and he couldn't compose himself because he didn't play instruments like everybody else.
@@SeldomPooper Let's start with the inflated title "Greatest Composer Of All Time". Mozart wrote 41 symphonies which lasts 45 - 75 minutes and the orchestra that consists of 100 pieces played the music. Jackson couldn't read music nor could he write music so how is Jackson a superior composer? Prince, Stevie Wonder, Phil Collins and Steve Winwood have all done something Jackson never did. They all have written the lyrics, wrote the music and played the all the instruments, arranged the vocals remixed the music on an entire album themselves. No one else in the studio helping them. Jackson had never done that for an individual song, let alone an album. We all know Jackson would beat box the drum parts, sing the guitar and other musical instrument parts to the studio musicians who would then translate to musical notes. Hear a sound in your mind and vocalize it or play it on an instrument. Jackson wasn't the first to do this, he wasn't the last and he wasn't the best.
I'd go up a level and say artistic genius or downright genius when you factor in the dancing/choreography/concepts. Not to mention he was a great illustrator too.
@@Chessbox09 I would go further and say he was a business genius spending tens of millions of dollars on his image which encouraged children to buy his products and ultimately make more money than any musical artist, even the really talented ones.
Rules the Moonwalkers. The recording artists pay their proper respects and keep it moving. No One is trying to be Jackson. No one is trying to surpass Jackson. The majority of the artists aren't trying to tarnish his legacy. The artists are busy working on their own careers and legacies.
Ugh HIS MIND. 😭❤️😩 I feel like God drops this little melody into his head, and then it spirals into this whole song, his mind must take it and run with it, and he's just trying to get it all out before it disappears. I bet there's thousands of things always floating around in his head, and he just filters through them. Just look at the mood he gets in anytime music is played, how he starts dancing. Look at how he smiles and laughs when he recalls what he did. And how he knew exactly where the song was going. Lol he lived and breathed music. He was always in that place. I love him ❤️
It all makes sense now, when you see artists humming out the melody first and then coming up with the words that fit with that melody or rhythm. I picked up some more songwriting tips that I can use when writing my songs, because the words will come easier to you. I'm glad I came across this video of a legend because I learned a lot just by watching his songwriting process. No wonder Michael Jackson had so many hits and they call him the King of Pop.
Better to watch the original, this has stuff cut out of it. Also, there is another trial you can listen to.. it is for the song Dangerous. About the songwriting process... some people get the lyrics first. There is no set way to do it. Also check out Elton John's song writing process. It doesn't matter if you like him or not.. you can still learn from him. Elton can make up songs on the spot. Michael can't. I am not trying to slam Michael, I am just showing that there are many ways to write songs
+brendalg4 That's true they are ways different ways to come up with lyrics. Sometimes I already have concept in mind before I even hear instrumental, because come up with the melody in my head. I will check out Elton John some more too, I know he makes great music too. Thanks for the tip, I appreciate it.
In Elton's case, there are videos of him making up songs on the spot.. such as someone giving him a oven instruction manual (or similar) and he writes a song out of it while we watch.
brendalg4 u know Michael made “Another Part of Me” on the spot right? Not arguing or knocking Elton John cause I too recommend him and he’s amazing but just letting that out there
The voice is an instrument, even musicians should be able to understand that fact. The human voice has a certain range dependent upon the individual and requires proper care. An instrument requires being put in tune and oiling just like the vocal chords need care. You train your voice like you train on an instrument needing to learn pitch and meter. People saying MJ can't play an instrument likely sound like croaking frogs when they sing any song themselves.
Going trough the allegations, having oral surgery, being tired from the performance last night, he killed it. From beatboxing, singing and even explaining his creative processes. This guy Is more than unique. I have nothing more to say, just mindblown
1. It’s incredible how through the entire demo he managed to stay in the same key without going up (real songwriters will get this one) without an actual instrument to help him stay in key. 2. That beatbox was made in the early 80’s but sounds like something from the mid to late 90’s hip hop. He was ahead of his time.
1. You think its incredible. It isn't. Singers do it all the time. Its like calling someone a great drummer just because they can keep time. Its the most basic requirement of playing drums but people call them "genius" 😏
@@onesong2001 Michael clearly has perfect pitch, it is no doubt a very rare ability, most songwriters don’t have it in their possession, just straight scientific fact my friend Cheers
@@onesong2001 sure, a quick google search for the term "perfect pitch" would reveal millions of result i'd like to copy and paste something here for you to read my friend "Absolute pitch (AP), often called perfect pitch, is a rare ability of a person to identify or re-create a given musical note without the benefit of a reference tone." or "Only around one in 10,000 people has the ability to correctly classify a note simply by hearing it. This phenomenon is called perfect, or absolute, pitch, and has been made famous by the well-known composers who are believed to have possessed such talents, such as Mozart and Beethoven." if you go further, a list of modern composers who possess this ability only included some of the greats, including michael jackson, jimi hendrix, jazz singer ella fitzgerald and singer maria carey as the most famous examples, if i can add, brian wilson has it too John Lennon might be the greatest songwriter ever lived, but even John or his song writing partner paul mccartney cannot do that
@@lostparlour Thats not evidence that Jackson had perfect pitch. If you're going to reproduce a quote you should say who/what/where it came from. There's an enormous amount of inaccurate information on the web.
it's so cute how Michael can't help but vibe and even join in with the tapes he's just so connected to his songs and you can tell he's proud of it and holds it close to him
“And don't write this song. Don't write anything. Let the song create itself. Let the strings tell you what to do, where they should come. Let the piano tell you what chords to hit. Let the fills, let the bass tell you what it should be doing. Everything. Let it create itself. Let it form. Let it do what it wants to do. Don't force upon the song. Let the song force upon you.”
Someone actually claimed that the girl is mine was stolen?! ARE THEY FREAKING CRAZY! All this started when Thriller sold a million albums , everyone wanted a piece of it.
He hears everything simultaneously in his head at once like a symphony. The song appears from above. Many people hear a short melody in their head and dismiss it. Let it grow, imagine what it can become. Hear all of the details. Your creative/ musical muscles must be "worked out" every single day or they will get weak and disappear. You can bring them back but it gets more difficult with age (just like real muscles). Regardless of what history says about MJ its difficult to argue the man was one of the most brilliant artists and composers ever; perhaps the Mozart of our time.
Thanks Recently I guess I was wondering about my lack of creating and Holy Spirit told me I was unimaginative. So I knew I needed to use and see hear how I envision the song to be And This vid helps. Charlie puth is similar
How do you know what he heard in his head? You hear all Michael Jacksons BS with your ears and you believe every word of it despite being able to hear his mediocre pop music. You are what is known as "brainwashed", "musically uneducated", and "a sucker".
Yeah, turns out all the allegations of some parents lying about the kids thing was also just a way for some envious poor people getting money out of MJ. He really didn't deserve all the lies that were told about him.
And we’ve got just this footage where we hear his original demos, just imagine how many are there from Heal the world, will you be there, earth song and so on the list must be endless. I wish there would be more of those demos.
seeing him smiling and bopping and so full of joy listening to and reminiscing on the girl is mine is the best thing in the entire world. I wonder where he went, sitting there closing his eyes, while listening to the demo in the last part of the video. i know he loved escapism, which is what his music does for me, takes me to a completely different place. i can only imagine what's going on inside his head, the level of excitement he must have through this whole process. making his ideas come to life, seeing what he did in the past, all of it rushing back to him.
This makes me wanna cry.. This song really created itself... Amazing... Music is life!!!!!! We didn't create it... It was breed forth from within us without a cause and without command that anyone should tell it what to do.. Its as if by itself it saw its need to be our companions... Tho it doesn't need us.. We needed it.. It just did us a favour..
Michael Jackson was an amazing talent, he had a God given gift. I am sad just thinking about the fact that we will never get any new music from him. RIP Michael. We miss you so much.
The way he wrote songs was just like magic If you reading this Michael where ever you are thank you so much and god bless you Thank you for making me wanna make my dreams come true love you buddy.
Dear Michael I just posted a Comment But I really wanna say You were and still the best song writer that ever lived on this wonderful earth no matter what people say about you You'll always be the one person i'll look up to. I'm in a wheelchair people say I can't do it but as long You are with me I believe I can do it Thank you Mr Jackson I hope I get to meet you when the times comes.
I think I have a newfound appreciation for "The Girl Is Mine". I always thought the song was one of MJ's lamer songs, but there is something to it that I like now.
Some of Michael songs were written by Michael himself but he never really wrote him down he beat box them and then might go ahead and make since his innate sense of rhythm and timing so he never really needed you to meet anyway but he could play piano a bit and he was said to play violin for medication so we may not know exactly how get to he was an an entertainer but one thing's for sure Michael was a musician for sure and he dances butt off and one of the greatest entertainers of all the time.
Everything these days is so excessive and over saturated as well in the world of music it's impossible for someone to be able to come close at all to bring a legend like him
Michael...I love you and always will. I have found out this court stuff for the first time, and I am appalled. YOU are a legend, you are fantastic, they are all leeches and you WILL NEVER DIE!!! Always and forever, Michael. Always xxx
Wow full of awe & love & inspiration. Some deep sadness i turn into passion as best im able. Because Michael's legacy is inspiration, unity, love, care Humanity. I won't let small deceitful minds who undermind Michael & The Jacksons in my heart. The sorrow is there, that's okay, it's there to help me, guid me, & heal, & allow for differentiation. 'Wisdom to know the difference'. And In a blessed way this IS A BLESSING - WE SEE MICHAEL'S CHEERY ATTITUDE EVEN WHEN UNDER SCRUTINY. WE SEE HIS BRILLIANCE SHINE , & WE ABSORB LOVE SWEETNESS ENCHANTMENT... . SO MUCH MORE. What was meant to destroy will glorify for ALL TO CELEBRATE OUR DEAR MICHAEL, & REMEMBER ALL THE JACKSONS. WE CELEBRATE YOU DEAR MICHAEL TITO BRANDON YES JOE TOO & ALL IN HEAVEN & DEAR KATHERINE & ALL HERE. BLESSINGS TO US ALL. WHEN YA KNOW YA KNOW. MAY MORE KNOW TOO SOON THANK YOU GOD & ANGELS
I love and respect all human beings, but there's millions of ways to write a song, this is Michaels way so why are y'all saying I have new advice, there's no advice, just tell the truth, I usually get a feeling, I write to some melody in my head, while doing what I call head singing, singing in my head, and then writing it on paper, so when I see the lyrics there's already an approach to the music, emphasized through my wording, find the best place for you to write, because this is Michaels way
Spot on...me too...it's not rocket science...it's FEELING....and Michael FEELS it on this video. Read my comment five above yours Kyri...about a song called "WHY?" by Jasmine Lamport.
Nah I don’t force it at all I let the song create it self, like the beat talks to me and I easily come up with melodies. I hum the melodies and words just pop out my mouth that I feel that goes hard and easily able to write an entire song off it. But mainly, don’t force it let the song talk to you
Michael couldn't read music and couldn't play any instruments. He thought it unnecessary. He had his voice. He simply sang what he wanted the music to sound like.
Very informative. But it sounds like a deposition in a trial. I truly wish that someone had convinced Michael to share his talent and show his songwriting techniques, to give other aspiring writers encouraging points.
+Malik Abdullah It is a trial. Someone had sued him for plagarizing The girl is Mine (I think). Of course it was just a sham, but isn`t ironic that none of these questions were asked by interviewers? We have to watch trial footage to get answers to the most basics questions about his genious.
+Malik Abdullah It is a deposition. He got taken to court for plagarism for a song and they demanded to show them how he writes a song. So he got up and showed them what he does. He's not a very talented musician, he started most of his songs by beat boxing and the lyrics were just mush until he figured them out.
+Joe Cassandra lol "not a very talented musician." Are you high? Also if you knew anything about songwriting, most people start out with "mush" lyrics and then figure them out. Rarely do people write out a poem and then put it into melody. It's much less calculated than you think.
I always laugh at how NO interview EVER asked about his songwriting process, and it took a COURT ROOM DEPOSITION for us to get this golden knowledge on how he created his music.

This makes me wanna cry.. This song really created itself... Amazing... Music is life!!!!!! We didn't create it... It was breed forth from within us without a cause and without command that anyone should tell it what to do.. Its as if by itself it saw its need to be our companions... Tho it doesn't need us.. We needed it.. It just did us a favour..
😅
As did Jesus
First honest to God "mic drop"
"And that's how I did it."..... 🖐🎤
haha! yeah!
Even the lawyers wanted to hear him sing.
One of the greatest insights into the songwriting process ever!
Michael Jackson was an amazing talent, he had a God given gift. I am sad just thinking about the fact that we will never get any new music from him. RIP Michael. We miss you so much.
So humble expression at the end...
The way he wrote songs was just like magic If you reading this Michael where ever you are thank you so much and god bless you Thank you for making me wanna make my dreams come true love you buddy.
That demo near the end is just savory. Oh my gosh.
Michael Jackson is the God of Entertainment, the Icon, the King of Music! No one can beat him.
We love you more and more.
He's the god of little children who don't know what music is.
Love is actions. Not just thoughts or words.
You don't know what music is either.
@@onesong2001 You made zero sense.
@@noahweston9100 I make complete sense to anyone who has some intelligence
Dear Michael I just posted a Comment But I really wanna say You were and still the best song writer that ever lived on this wonderful earth no matter what people say about you You'll always be the one person i'll look up to. I'm in a wheelchair people say I can't do it but as long You are with me I believe I can do it Thank you Mr Jackson I hope I get to meet you when the times comes.
That's beautiful
The judge, lawyers and everyone in this room became musicians after this 😂😂😂
This is so entertaining and informative. Thank you MJ! 😘❤❤❤😊
He was litterally singing the whole time in the court rom 😂
I like this version of the song more then the one with paul
Yo I was enjoying tf out of that demo, and did you see how relaxed he was? I got chills, that was beautiful.
WOW, he says don't write the song,let the song create it self,so true Master Maestro Michael J 🙌🙌🙌👌💜l
14:05 - 14:40 is extremely satisfying and awesome
MessiThunbo messi✨❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Where is this version lol
The beginning sounds like 2300 Jackson Street
the demo version of 'the girl is mine' better than the duet in my opinion.
This man has been singing and listening to music since birth. The magical process came easy for him after a while.
he s freak genius
I see his joy here, how his music makes him elated and calm...his smile is so beautiful, too!
I do the same beatboxing thing! This literally confirmed that I am indeed an artist
I looove how his own music just jazzes him! He lights up at his own music. It's a deposition and he's just so cool 🤗. I can't get enough of him!
His voice is just pure magic.
You can't learn that
The greatest. ..I love you Michael
The doggone song is his 💕
One thing I can say about him... GENIUS! HE IS GENIUS!
Oh my! He's so lovely! Such a handsome man. His smile at 10:59! So sweet and charming!
Much better than the trash interviews...he talks about he create his music...seems he is happy
He is a genius!!! One of my favorite videos of Michael ever. Wow, just wow. I love you Michael.
You just watched the worlds most famous and amazing and loved artist make and break down a song. Let that sink in
When he says, "That how I did it" is at the very last second of the video.
Leave Michael Jackson alone he's amazing
If Michael was alive
I do think a Masterclass would have been possible
I'm in heaven ! Thank you Syl
Great! He’s out of this world... He is a gift...
I think I have a newfound appreciation for "The Girl Is Mine". I always thought the song was one of MJ's lamer songs, but there is something to it that I like now.
Have you listened to the demo version? I really prefer that over the album version.
The demo is divine. The strings are magical. McCartney makes it sound like a nursery rhyme.
What I learnt watching him
U must love first what u are doing
we all miss him... the master and king of pop
HE really is the genius
SImply amazing, the little parts where he sings are so cool! The ending is hilarious "well that's how I did it"
ive beem studying Michael for the last 3 hours already i learned alottttt
14:18 Magical as usual !
Some of Michael songs were written by Michael himself but he never really wrote him down he beat box them and then might go ahead and make since his innate sense of rhythm and timing so he never really needed you to meet anyway but he could play piano a bit and he was said to play violin for medication so we may not know exactly how get to he was an an entertainer
but one thing's for sure Michael was a musician for sure and he dances butt off and one of the greatest entertainers of all the time.
Too many people these days are trying to be Mike...... None them have even come close.
It's impossible.We are individuals.And Michael was in a league of his own.He has no equals
Everything these days is so excessive and over saturated as well in the world of music it's impossible for someone to be able to come close at all to bring a legend like him
It's impossible. He was one with the music and understood what people could connect to and feel for more than any artist of today
Nobody will
Because they don't have passion in music as much as Michael
The king himself......Rip this world never deserved you 😭😭
"I love you more than he".....Mike had to sip whatever the fuck he had to that one....That part was P U R E magic!!
So i take it he won this copyright ting? 😂
Yep he did 😆
Michael...I love you and always will. I have found out this court stuff for the first time, and I am appalled. YOU are a legend, you are fantastic, they are all leeches and you WILL NEVER DIE!!! Always and forever, Michael. Always xxx
Wow full of awe & love & inspiration. Some deep sadness i turn into passion as best im able. Because Michael's legacy is inspiration, unity, love, care Humanity. I won't let small deceitful minds who undermind Michael & The Jacksons in my heart. The sorrow is there, that's okay, it's there to help me, guid me, & heal, & allow for differentiation. 'Wisdom to know the difference'.
And
In a blessed way this IS A BLESSING - WE SEE MICHAEL'S CHEERY ATTITUDE EVEN WHEN UNDER SCRUTINY. WE SEE HIS BRILLIANCE SHINE , & WE ABSORB LOVE SWEETNESS ENCHANTMENT... . SO MUCH MORE. What was meant to destroy will glorify for ALL TO CELEBRATE OUR DEAR MICHAEL, & REMEMBER ALL THE JACKSONS.
WE CELEBRATE YOU DEAR MICHAEL TITO BRANDON YES JOE TOO & ALL IN HEAVEN & DEAR KATHERINE & ALL HERE. BLESSINGS TO US ALL. WHEN YA KNOW YA KNOW.
MAY MORE KNOW TOO
SOON
THANK YOU GOD & ANGELS
I love and respect all human beings, but there's millions of ways to write a song, this is Michaels way so why are y'all saying I have new advice, there's no advice, just tell the truth, I usually get a feeling, I write to some melody in my head, while doing what I call head singing, singing in my head, and then writing it on paper, so when I see the lyrics there's already an approach to the music, emphasized through my wording, find the best place for you to write, because this is Michaels way
Spot on...me too...it's not rocket science...it's FEELING....and Michael FEELS it on this video. Read my comment five above yours Kyri...about a song called "WHY?" by Jasmine Lamport.
SONIC FOXX MUSIC...(D.N.A... Developing New Artists) Wait I don't see the song
I do the exact same
Nah I don’t force it at all I let the song create it self, like the beat talks to me and I easily come up with melodies. I hum the melodies and words just pop out my mouth that I feel that goes hard and easily able to write an entire song off it. But mainly, don’t force it let the song talk to you
I Love Michael!!! This Whole Video Felt Like 5 minutes.
Michael IS music. PERIOD.❤️🎤
Michael couldn't read music and couldn't play any instruments. He thought it unnecessary. He had his voice. He simply sang what he wanted the music to sound like.
This is golden. They gave him a little something to make the dreadful court proceedings bearable, and I'm not sure if they knew it.
What a coincidence that my comment got hearted today after I was listening to keep the faith .
Very informative. But it sounds like a deposition in a trial. I truly wish that someone had convinced Michael to share his talent and show his songwriting techniques, to give other aspiring writers encouraging points.
+Malik Abdullah It is a trial. Someone had sued him for plagarizing The girl is Mine (I think). Of course it was just a sham, but isn`t ironic that none of these questions were asked by interviewers? We have to watch trial footage to get answers to the most basics questions about his genious.
+Malik Abdullah It is a deposition. He got taken to court for plagarism for a song and they demanded to show them how he writes a song. So he got up and showed them what he does. He's not a very talented musician, he started most of his songs by beat boxing and the lyrics were just mush until he figured them out.
+Joe Cassandra lol "not a very talented musician." Are you high? Also if you knew anything about songwriting, most people start out with "mush" lyrics and then figure them out. Rarely do people write out a poem and then put it into melody. It's much less calculated than you think.
Uncle Joe I bet you are talented then, We would like to learn from you. Please teach us something or show us your track record UNcle Joooeeee!!!!!
+Charlie Sumner unless of course you are Elton and Bernie
He is so humble❤❤ and talented.
MJ is awesome !
He’s just so gentle and sweet and tabloids...just broke him🥺
