yeah too many pauses at critical moments, and didn't go back so he missed the transitions. it's like he wasn't listening to the music, or watching the dancing, or listening to the guitar solo. the video is as straightforward and uncomplicated as possible but he said he didn't understand the message of the song? sad
Constructive criticism--no disrespect. I don't know why you'd look at a song/video on how it would make you feel if you saw someone at work act like that. lol. It's sad that the younger generation can't appreciate him for the artist he was. I remember where I was and what I was doing when he moonwalked for the first time on tv...and that was in the early 80s. I doubt we'll say that about any of today's entertainers in 40 years.
"Younger generation" this dude doesn't represent the younger generations perspective of Michael Jackson and that's a fact... this is just one guy and your going to find this kind of "guy" in every generation.
The video had a mix of actor/dancers and real crips & bloods. It was one of the first instances of street culture being brought mainstream. The song also features one of the greatest guitarists of all time, Eddie Van Halen. He did the guitar solo for free.
This is the problem with you teens today this more then a singer it’s called an entertainer!! People use to be more talented then just half ass writing a song. People sang and danced backed then and played instruments unlike todays lame music
heyyyy, there's still many good signers-songwriters, just to start, Taylor Swift or Ed Sheeran for example. But yeah, there's way more space for the "influencers" and "entertainers" now.
It was 1982 or 83, and he was about 24. He was complicated and struggled mentally later on in life. But he was a brilliant artist. A musical genius, and a phenomenal performer. He's an Icon. Show some respect.
I was 19 years old when the Thriller album came out. And 5 years old when Michael and his brothers came on the scene in 1969. He is an international icon . You have no idea. Please react to him respectfully . He is the largest selling recording artist of all time. Maybe you should react to his sister Janet’s music as well.
This was an age when Jackson had the power to create videos that resembled tv and movie videos with well known film directors. An incredible amount of money went into production, and these videos were shown on MTV constantly. Those dances were part of his generation's moves.
Yeah, and when Quincy Jones originally phoned him to ask about it, Eddie cussed him out. He thought somebody was making fun of him, but when Quincy called a second time he realized the offer was serious.
Yes, but he makes only the solo. The rest of guitar playing from the beginning to the end is performed by Steve Lukather (Toto guitarist), plus the drums and the synthetizer are both played by Porcaro brothers from Toto, Jeff and Steve.
@@QUINTUSMAXIMUSyeah but then he said it was a different name but that the movie just looked like the outsiders because he was describing the leather jackets
That jacket is not from the thriller mv. These are two different jacket. I think he was around 23 or 24 at that time. Yeah you’re absolutely right according to the people who were close to him he was a very very funny guy and also very very kind and pure
Now watch “Eat It”, by Weird Al Yankovic. 😂 It’s filmed at the same location and MJ helped with the project. The guy in all white is the choreographer from Thriller and all his videos.
This was at the early days of MTV and his videos were huge improvements on weird and strange videos that were playing then. His dancing was revolutionary. A little respect please, young man. You want to check out a consummate performance, check out Queen at Live Aid.
Putting "who is he" in the thumbnail? Desperate. Everyone knows who MJ is. Anyway, the dude in the white suit is Michael Peters, openly gay choreographer for this video AND Thriller. He trained actual gang members to dance for this video. Eddie Van Halen (Van Halen) does the guitar Solo. The movie you're thinking of is Grease....but Sweat is kinda hilarious.
I understand why you would think everyone knows Michael Jackson. You’re right with most people, but he’s been gone 14 years now, and a younger guy like IAMKING may not have heard of him.
@@66.6FMRadio ok so he found Michael Jackson. That’s good. Now he knows he has two good songs.👍 That doesn’t mean he knows who MJ really is as far as his place in music. He keeps comparing him to some dude at work.
Michael was a different person(as far as his presence) in day to day life and on the stage. He came alive on stage. His element. His performances were amazing.
If you never heard of Michael jackson and its 2024 I feel sorry for you You dont know what your missing out on go binge listen to all jackson 5 songs and all his solo albums And mj never fails wihen it comes to his music videos
Yeap And Nowadays These Damn Weak Ass Cowards Only Settle Shit With Guns And Weapons Now SMH Compared to The 90s And Early 2000s I Wasn't born Yet In The 80s But Ima Old Soul I know it Were The Best Decade Still
Interesting & disappointing reaction again…. MJ was brilliant, but you keep being immature & making fun of him… you need to do your homework with a lot of artist from the past & show respect
How he listen to this whole song and not understand that it saying go the other way when the boys get up to there gangster shit.i understood the meaning of this song when i was 10.born 83 gen z crazy
You need to do your Research on MJ. MJ was a genius on many levels. Instead of laughing and making fun educate yourself for knowledge and wisdom. And grown up.
iconic song from the iconic album...MJ was on the very top of the world then...Steve Luthaker from Toto did the guitar riff, Eddie Van Halen did that badass solo in the middle, Quincey Jones produced this album (he's the guy who created "Fresh Prince of Bel Aire") ...DUDE SOLD 70 million copies...BEST SELLER EVER
@@for-house-stark of course MJ sold the records. I was pointing out the all-star lineup that were part of the project. I was a teenager when the album dropped...remember it well
Dude, never pause during a Michael Jackson dance choreography! You missed the most part of the video ! You need to stop pausing & actually focus on the beat & lyrics. Stop making fun of MJ. That jacket he has on costs more than your entire house with everything in it. So please show some respect!!!
Bro did you seriously pause the iconic guitar solo by American rockstar Eddie Van Halen on the 4th track of American singer-dancer Michael Jackson's critically-acclaimed 'Thriller' album releases in 1983?
Michael was a trend setter. Him doing dances in the break room Monday morning would normal now, TicTok allows dancing to be enjoyed by everyone. When this song came out in the 80's you kept everything private, MTV was new and there was no YT to learn from. Lovr that you see him as a funny person. Growing up with his music I saw him as shy, but I am a Gen X.
It's a different jacket than he wore in Thriller. I remember back in the 80's Miller Outpost sold a variety of colors of that "Beat It" jacket. Great reaction.
Why in the unholy hell did you laugh, be very disrespectful and talk about MJ like he was your coworker?? And you’re making fun of his SINGING? He single-handedly created the music video industry and had more #1’s than 90% of any other artists! If you want to review a King, remember to show respect because this man was a God in his time. Jesus! 🙄
I guarantee every member of your family now above 30 wanted to be Michael Jackson 😂 he was the literal definition of slick, I don’t understand how in 2023 this is considered UNcool? I guess laughing at the greatest makes you GREATER... kinda sad😂
The movie you're referring to is Called The Outsiders. It stars Patrick Swayze. Mike would put today's dancers to shame. He was the greatest at what he did.
To be alive while he was at his prime was pure fascination. Check out Billie Jean live, the first time he did his famous Moonwalk. I worked for him back then - swear to God. -Stacie from Bawstin
We were different 😂😂😂GENX.... WE Had the best music...big hair, and actually had to talk to people or ask someone to prom😅.. we raised ourselves..what other generartion could you see motley crue one month and next month see mc hanmmer,boyz II men,jodeci and oaktown 357😂😂😂😂 i would go back in a ❤beat... Thanks for your reactions....😊
You seem like a nice young man and I appreciate your joy. That’s refreshing. But try to make the reactions about the music or video, not you. Please respect the artist & your audience.
To answer your questions - He was 24 - Yes Michael was very funny but not in the way you think. He was just comical. - The dancers behind him were real Crips and Bloods gang members - Thriller is the best selling album of ALL TIME still
The guys in this video were not real crips and bloods ….it was real crips in the way you make me feel video and he also took a pic with them throwing up Cs
"Beat It" was probably the first song by Michael that I ever heard - I was just 8 years old at the time. I loved it so much, that my younger sister, my slightly-older uncle, and me all made a home video performance of it. I wish I still had a copy, but sadly I don't.
I was your age wjen this came out and it blew me away. I did not see anything funny about it. I guess we are from different generations but i am glad you enjoyed it.
I was 8 or 9 when this came out, and was an instant fan. MJ was the first musical artist i was ever a fan of. #GenX 😎👍 Also.. did you happen to hear the song?
Ok, I *think* what you mean is that the Greasers in the movie The Outsiders remind you of the guys in the movie Grease, which was a musical, and they look like these guys lol I've heard that MJ loved to play pranks on people lol. I think he would be a very funny person in real life. I'd love you see more reactions from you. It makes me sad that MJ was one, of the most famous people in the world (like top 5 it feels like to me), and a whole generation is missing out on his music. The song was basically about walking away from fights and avoiding violence. That's why he recruited gang members for the video. MJ was a passivist. Other good MJ songs: Bad Smooth Criminal Billie Jean (the live version where he does the Moon Walk for the first time) Black or White Scream The Way You Make Me Feel Man in the Mirror Heal the World They Don't Really Care About Us Will You Be There (personal favorite of mine)
Man i can't remember how old i was i was born in the 90's so i was a 6year old kid when i first heard MJ , so my mother is a big fan of MJ so that's how it goes around the family 😅 ... Anyway you need tho watch the whole music video please dont pause it because you missing the whole thing in the song and massage so do more MJ please ... R.I.P to our legend King of Pop MJ❤🕊️
I'm always initially incredulous when someone says they have never heard a song like Beat It. Back in the day, everyone would have heard it, whether you were a fan or not. It was on everywhere - television, radio, booming out of car radios and boom boxes. But, then...this isn't "back in the day" i guess.
I’m one of the GenX fans, and I get what you’re saying about the video. And Mike. There were a TON of comedians and shows that made fun of MJ being a coworker, friend, parent, etc. I was in love with Michael Jackson, and I had a Beat It jacket.
Roller skating music! LOL Oh my gosh, you are such a breath of fresh air! Michael Jackson was very young when he did this. It was 1983, so he was about 25. 9:30 Did you just say "That other guy caught the lord for a second"?" Oh my goodness, I just snorted and woke up the dog. Too funny.
mj was a very unique person in many ways. he was very innocent and sweet almost childlike. he had a house with a zoo in it and an amusement park. and he was scared of people he was very shy and had a hard time trusting people. everyone even the president was his fan. so he was also very lonely. he enjoyed company of children who he could talk with without feeling they judged him. but no one really knew michael. he was a very private person. his song childhood is a story about his childhood he wished he had. because he became famous since he was 5 years old or something
also his voice is also the most unique voice i have heard and he only needed a beat for his songs his voice is an instrument in itself. he could also beatbox so when you hear him do that while singing you can´t tell that the song isn´t playing. it´s just perfect. he sang it live at with opera
Check out his really early songs. He started singing with his brothers when he was around 6 years old. He became a sensation in the 60s. He was very unusual. His songs were strong but he was so soft spoken.
Yup but he should have mentioned West Side Story too, MJ's inspiration....the soundtrack to which is the only album with more weeks at #1 than Thriller.
Dude, YOU are not making Michael famous. From your apparent age, Michael was famous long before you were born. Read a little history before you make that kind of statement.
A lot of people saying no one made fun of him back then - that’s the nostalgia talking. There were comedy sketches about him on pretty much every show that did comedy sketches.
What's so cool about this video is the fact that the choreography that you Don't see today really and the part where Michael comes in and stops the fight and unites basically and then everyone is dancing to the same tune it's genius! Music in our generation if you delve deeper into the 80s it was some damn good stuff along all genres. Try listening to Rush might blow you're mind. Do 2112 or Xanadu or live in Cleveland working Man.
HOld ON,, i thought everyone knew this song?? everyone Needs to know these Michael songs,, My favorite Michael song is 'BAD'....... i like those Edgy Michael songs alot.
I was in middle school when this song was released. I remember Michael did a Pepsi commercial. One day, one of my classmates, who was a big fan of Michael's, announced that she would never drink Coke again. She was the first person I thought of when I heard he passed away.

he's too young to know , young people mostly only listen to rap nowadays 😕
My man, try not to pause during a Michael Jackson dance scene! How can you appreciate what you're watching?
yeah too many pauses at critical moments, and didn't go back so he missed the transitions. it's like he wasn't listening to the music, or watching the dancing, or listening to the guitar solo.
the video is as straightforward and uncomplicated as possible but he said he didn't understand the message of the song?

Eddie Van Halen did that guitar solo, never asked for credit.
Did not know that
Yeah, and when Quincy Jones originally phoned him to ask about it, Eddie cussed him out. He thought somebody was making fun of him, but when Quincy called a second time he realized the offer was serious.
No one who ever played anything for Michael took any credit... it's a unique thing to collaborate with a god...just take that !
Yes, but he makes only the solo. The rest of guitar playing from the beginning to the end is performed by Steve Lukather (Toto guitarist), plus the drums and the synthetizer are both played by Porcaro brothers from Toto, Jeff and Steve.
You're the first person I've ever seen make fun of MJ.
The liquid you're thinking of is Grease.

Michael Jackson?! Seriously? Iconic performer!
This generation is deprived of good music!
The movie you're referring to is Called The Outsiders. It stars Patrick Swayze. Mike would put today's dancers to shame. He was the greatest at what he did.
The Outsiders was "Stay Gold, Poneyboy." This video used to make me think of a cross between "The Warriors" and " West Side Story. "

this man was trying to remember the name of the movie "Grease" lol
Yeah, a one-word title. Can you imagine if he actually had to remember 3 words! Like _West Side Story,_ which is what Beat It is *actually* based on.
You seem like a nice young man and I appreciate your joy. That’s refreshing. But try to make the reactions about the music or video, not you. Please respect the artist & your audience.
he wasn't super animated when he wasn't performing. very lowkey
I find it kinda funny cause I actually see lot of style from back then showing in these younger generations style. Kinda crazy
Michael was 26 in this video
No he was 23 or 24. They shot the mv 1883
Movie is Grease fam🤣
To answer your questions
- He was 24
- Yes Michael was very funny but not in the way you think. He was just comical.
- The dancers behind him were real Crips and Bloods gang members
- Thriller is the best selling album of ALL TIME still
The guys in this video were not real crips and bloods ….it was real crips in the way you make me feel video and he also took a pic with them throwing up Cs
1983 he was 24 or 25
It's not the Thriller jacket!
It's the BEAT IT JACKET!!!!
OMFG YOU YOUNG PEOPLE ARE SO STUDIIIIIIIIIIIIID!!!!!!
"Beat It" was probably the first song by Michael that I ever heard - I was just 8 years old at the time. I loved it so much, that my younger sister, my slightly-older uncle, and me all made a home video performance of it. I wish I still had a copy, but sadly I don't.
I was your age wjen this came out and it blew me away. I did not see anything funny about it. I guess we are from different generations but i am glad you enjoyed it.
I was 8 or 9 when this came out, and was an instant fan. MJ was the first musical artist i was ever a fan of. #GenX 😎👍
Also.. did you happen to hear the song?
Ok, I *think* what you mean is that the Greasers in the movie The Outsiders remind you of the guys in the movie Grease, which was a musical, and they look like these guys lol
I've heard that MJ loved to play pranks on people lol. I think he would be a very funny person in real life.
I'd love you see more reactions from you. It makes me sad that MJ was one, of the most famous people in the world (like top 5 it feels like to me), and a whole generation is missing out on his music.
The song was basically about walking away from fights and avoiding violence. That's why he recruited gang members for the video. MJ was a passivist.

Billie Jean (the live version where he does the Moon Walk for the first time)
Black or White

Fun fact:There were no humans before this song came out thats how great this song was it created life.
Bruh the pauses..........................................
mj was a very unique person in many ways. he was very innocent and sweet almost childlike. he had a house with a zoo in it and an amusement park. and he was scared of people he was very shy and had a hard time trusting people. everyone even the president was his fan. so he was also very lonely. he enjoyed company of children who he could talk with without feeling they judged him. but no one really knew michael. he was a very private person. his song childhood is a story about his childhood he wished he had. because he became famous since he was 5 years old or something
also his voice is also the most unique voice i have heard and he only needed a beat for his songs his voice is an instrument in itself. he could also beatbox so when you hear him do that while singing you can´t tell that the song isn´t playing. it´s just perfect. he sang it live at with opera
Check out his really early songs. He started singing with his brothers when he was around 6 years old. He became a sensation in the 60s. He was very unusual. His songs were strong but he was so soft spoken.
😂 Grease!
The Jackson 5s Dancing Machine was the first album I ever owned, that was back in 1972-73. There will never be another, he was the greatest!
The message is - don't get in fights, RUN AWAY. RIP 2Pac
Grease is the movie you were talking about.
Yup but he should have mentioned West Side Story too, MJ's inspiration....the soundtrack to which is the only album with more weeks at #1 than Thriller.
MJ changed the trajectory of my life. Real talk.
😂😂😂
Dude, YOU are not making Michael famous. From your apparent age, Michael was famous long before you were born. Read a little history before you make that kind of statement.
I said that???😂😂
The Outsiders is definitely not a liquid lolll Bro needs to be the first one in the theater for the MJ biopic
A lot of people saying no one made fun of him back then - that’s the nostalgia talking. There were comedy sketches about him on pretty much every show that did comedy sketches.
What's so cool about this video is the fact that the choreography that you Don't see today really and the part where Michael comes in and stops the fight and unites basically and then everyone is dancing to the same tune it's genius! Music in our generation if you delve deeper into the 80s it was some damn good stuff along all genres. Try listening to Rush might blow you're mind. Do 2112 or Xanadu or live in Cleveland working Man.
Choreography first seen in West Side Story, which of course MJ modeled this after. The greats always look to the greats that preceded them.
That’s the King of Pop 👑
Micheals personal life was actually quite tragic, so it’s bizarre to hear someone speak of him being a happy-go-lucky dude
HOld ON,, i thought everyone knew this song?? everyone Needs to know these Michael songs,, My favorite Michael song is 'BAD'....... i like those Edgy Michael songs alot.
I was in middle school when this song was released. I remember Michael did a Pepsi commercial. One day, one of my classmates, who was a big fan of Michael's, announced that she would never drink Coke again. She was the first person I thought of when I heard he passed away.
Are you thinking of Grease? If so, that's a musical from the '70's...
