His artistry is unparalleled. Whenever he premiered a new video the world stopped to watch, it was an event. I got to see him live on the "Bad" tour and I will never forget it. To this day that is still in my top three concerts ever. They even did the "Smooth Criminal" lean and the crowd was mesmerized. It was pure magic! There will never be another MJ!
I was a fan, but not a really really big fan. I went with friends to a venue on the "Bad" tour and I actually won a ticket lottery and we got in the first five rows. At first I was going to give the tickets to friends but then I decided to go. Definitely the most mesmerizing concert I'd ever been to!
@@KittyMKing Can you please give a lead so we can find out? I'm also very curious about "Dirty Diana". Sounds like she was a higher up in the music industry.
@Charity Chanda - “Annie “ is the name of the mannequin when you’re learning CPR . You’re supposed to check if the person can talk, ask if they’re okay .
My daughter and I had the wonderful privilege of meeting Michael Jackson in a recording studio where his HiStory CD was being worked on. He had asked that my 9-year-old daughter attend the recording session that night so that he could hear her sing. He had been told about her by the gospel singer Andre Crouch, whose group was doing some of the backgrounds on HiStory. After hearing my daughter (Leah Frazier) sing for him, he asked her if she'd like to sing a small part on the song HiStory. After that conversation, Michael ordered dinner for himself, Leah and I and we went upstairs to a small room overlooking the recording going on downstairs. About a week later we were in a recording studio where my daughter sang her small part, and afterward Michael asked if we would come out to Neverland for the day when he was going to be doing a luncheon for those who worked on the HiStory CD. We ended up spending 12 hours at the ranch, and it was a thoroughly enjoyble day for my family. She is one of the two child singers on the CD. The other child sang on the song 'Little Susie.' She was given album credit and paid by Sony Music. Her small part starts at the 2:16:19 mark: ruclips.net/video/S8Qrj9Gtzy0/видео.html
WOW! I am speechless. What a great moment in - no pun intended - history for you and your daughter to share together! I'm curious, did she realize how big of a deal it was, or was she just doing what she loved to do while spending time with one of the greatest performers to ever exist? Was she star struck? :)
Gosh, you are so lucky and I bet you are proud of your daughter. It breaks my heart to think of all the false facts and nastiness that was said against Michael. At least your time with him will never be forgotton ❤
@@charlotterockel-kennedy8913 Yes, and people STILL make those allegations, even though he's been gone since 2009. It's so sad to think we're living in a world without Michael, but one thing is for certain: he may not be here physically, but he is ALWAYS with us through his music!
If you like this performance, you need to check out the Billy Jean live performance where he did the Moonwalk for the first time. The turn and raise on his toes. Wow!! He was performing solo but he held the audience in the palm of his hand. An amazing showman from when he was a small boy (ABC).
@@Rutabega_NG I remember the next day in school all the kids trying to do the moonwalk. I was in grade school, so it was quite the site watching us try.
Definitely remember first time I saw Billie Jean live when he hit that moonwalk. It was jaw dropping. He could always dance 🕺 that's another one worth seeing
Not trying to be rude. But there are more than one of those. Michael Jackson performed Billie Jean live several times. And over the years improved the performance more and more. But all of his live performances of Billie Jean are amazing. 😁
I was at home when the news reported that MJ passed... A radio station played his songs all day long. They called it MJ radio! I cranked it up and danced in his honor while bawling my eyes out! No one will ever be like him again!
He was great on TV, in person and vidoes. More people should apply there craft the way he did. He gave you his best. All or nothing. Agreed! He the mountain.
Thank you for playing Smooth Criminal! It's one of my favorite Michael Jackson songs. He did the performance in Munich Germany. Y'all need to review his video of the song. Even if you review is amongst yourselves. That leaning move was awesome! No one I repeat NO ONE can replicate his sound, moves and talent. A true entertainer to his core! There will be only one MJ and he was called home way too early. His stage presence was like no other. A G.O.A.T. in every sense of the word! I was in shock like the rest of the world was when his passing was announced by his brother. It was devastating to hear. Not to mention he had three young children at the time. They knew he was a superstar but to them he was just Daddy. It was a sad situation for his fans but especially for his family. Again, thank you and please play more of MJ's music!
I was home in The Bahamas when I heard the news that Micheal Jackson had died, it was like a solemn feeling come over the whole country. I cried like a baby... I truly believe that anyone who loved and had a connection with his music understood the drastic loss on that day. RIP MJ
I remember when I heard the news… I’m not one to watch tv news or listen to it on the radio, back then I never had a smart phone. I had been out shopping all morning so was none the wiser. I got in and my partner at the time, said ‘have you heard the news??!’ I was like, ‘no, what?’ . Then he told me! I was in total disbelief, couldn’t believe I’d been walking round all morning not knowing 🙄.
Watched his entire career... from the little boy in the Jackson Five to the amazing transformation of the music video genre. He was a genius who made the most of the artistry of James Brown and added his own twist to it all.
Baphomet is represented as a goat. I know you probably mean well, but the creator is the Most High. If you’re a Christian, then you know the devil tricks people into praising him, by praising the creation and not the Most High who is our creator. That is what destroyed M J., and kept him in perpetual slavery, when he tried to speak out about the evils of the world. He’s still singing and dancing, and will use his images, music, and especially the holograms. They will do it as long as they want, while making more money for his owners. When you choose to follow God, they call you a sheep, well the Lord is my shepherd, therefore I am one of his sheep. Following evil, will have you calling yourself the greatest of all time, which is in direct conflict to the most high, for none is greater than he. Being too prideful and worshipping money and fame, is not of God.
MJ is the TRUTH!?!🎶🎶🎶❤️ Brings the Fire🔥🔥🔥 MJ wore special shoes designed by his creativity to do that “Lean”!!! The Original Performer!!!❤️ When he passed I was at work and was devastated by the news!! MJ Forever!!💕💕💕 So you guys are from Gary, Indiana , so cool that you lived near the Jackson 5 and family!! Love your reactions!!!
I remember when I was a young kid playing baseball ⚾️ outside with my friends and my mom or sister would cone out to tell me Micheal Jackson is on tv and I would stop call time out 🤚👈 be right back fellas. I will run into the house to watch Micheal Jackson perform and when it was over I would run back out side and continue playing baseball with my friends..🕺🕺🕺
Micheal, genuinely and ethically cared about people and he took security issues serious when it came to protecting his fans during his concerts. He is truly missed ❤
This man made music for and entertained literally 4 generations during his own lifetime. From my grandmother to my children. We will never see another like him.
I seen him and his brother preform at our school. I am 56yrs old. I taught my son the Moonwalk at 11 months old, and he has Never stopped dancing. He has video's on RUclips, and he is good ! Not because he is my son, but because he has a Love for dance. Michael Jackson is Beyond a legend 💣💥💗💨 I am happy I grew up in his ears, to watch him continue to blossom throughout his Cast career. I and my children mourned the world's loss of such a gifted soul. To the host's and those who have never really seen his skills, nor really heard All possible recordings of his vocal abilities, should truly research him. I encourage everyone, to look into the Black and White old films, from way back. Search for the dancer's (in different categories), the Musicians, singer's, and Actor's. Then you can learn so much. You will see moves, that different artist's have used. Michael Jackson, isn't the man that invented the Moonwalk.... Once you start watching these Films of Black Entertainers, you will see other's preform such moves. Michael was highly intelligent. His words, all had meaning. He never had a "pointless" song. Really listen the his words, I implore you.
When Michael Jackson died and it was announced on our local radio, I was walking into a restaurant in Mizner Park, in Boca Raton, Fl. As I was parking I heard the news and broke down in tears. All of us attending high school and college during the MJ years were sad. He took a piece of us with him. RIP Michael Jackson
Fun Fact: This song was inspired by a first aid class. When they covered CPR they had a practice dummy named Rescue Anne. The first thing you're supposed to do is determine if the victim is conscious which resulted in gently shaking the dummy while asking, Anne are you ok?, etc. The rest of the song filled in with how Anne/Annie ended up on the floor.
MJ will always be one of the greatest! That stamina, those moves, just incredible! My parents saw him live three times and had tickets for the tour he was planning to do before he died, he must have been amazing to see live. He was the first celeb I ever saw my mum cry over when he died.
I love watching the young ppl discovering and enjoying the gifts and talents of the superstar MJ. He left a mark on the world and will never be forgotten.
When mj the GOAT passed I was 4 and cried hard and I feel asleep on the treadmill in the house and watched the funeral I will forget that day even tho I was 4 I still remember it
In my lifetime, I was blessed to see him live twice. He took the torch from a few entertainers before him and he ran with it like no other. The blueprint he created may never be duplicated, as far as the impact....Like most, I remember when the world seemed to stop moving on the day he released "Thriller"....Literally!! A lot of his music had a message in it....while at the same time, it was full of energy...and the videos...him dancing....WOW!!
I remember I was sitting outside on my porch with my family eating and we heard the news that Michael had died. I bawled my eyes out. Shortly after, there was a violent thunderstorm and I remember feeling like that was Earth’s reaction to his death as a lot of other areas across the country reported storms too. I have loved Michael for as long as I can remember and I’m now 50 years old. He’s also always been my biggest crush. There will never be another like him. I’m so glad I had his music in my life since I was a child. I will always love him and mourn his death and mourn the way so many treated that wonderful and kind man the last 16 years of his life over a bunch of lies.
He is the best that ever done it. I was blessed to go to a Micheal Jackson concert. It was amazing. I was home. A lady name Farrah Fawcett died first. So they were talking about her death and then hours later they said he died. Unbelievable.
I was in the car when I heard the news, and I cried every day for 4 years after that. My daughters and best friend wondered if I'd ever get over it. I did, but I didn't forget. There were flash mobs everywhere doing the Thriller dance. Ten thousand people shut down a freeway in Mexico City to do it. It was truly a watershed moment.
A MASTERPIECE! It doesn't matter how old it is. MJ is the beast of music. Every moment in this entire music video is a continuous dance. Absolutely incredible! 🥰
@Sharian Fields, I'm glad you are good. Yeah, we ONLY got 7.7", co-worker got 24.7" in her area. 😁 NYC got almost 10", but the city DIDN'T shut down. Businesses were opened & public transportation was still going. Now we are preparing for a bad ice storm on Fri!
Guys, first of all Greetings from Germany to you! And then, let me say: YES, I saw him live, also 1997, but not in Munich, I saw him just the show before, in Cologne. And it was unbelievable, the best show I ever saw in my live... Sound, Band, Performance.. just like from another planet... Probably the best Entertainer we had in history... All the best to you!
The dancing. OMG. We DO have dancers that can do this - but def do not sing and dance. Every single muscle in your body is under your control and on beat. Amazing. . .
"He the mountain" You are spitting FACTS. There are VERY few artists that can even remotely touch the level of artistry that Michael had, and STILL has. No other artist today is on the same level imho. They can be the greatest of THEIR time, but the greatest of ALL time is and honestly might forever belong to him.
I grew up with four sisters. Our whole family went to see the Jackson 5 at Cobo Hall in Detroit in 1973. My only time seeing MJ live. Even then MJ was like a bolt of lightening on the stage! "Dancing Machine" was their big hit.
The full official video to this song (not the weirdly speeded up version they released as a single) is probably the best music video of all time and features extraordinary dancing.
The "leany bit" Smooth Criminal dance move is utterly iconic. Period. That said, the Thriller dance routine is the best music video choreography ever, nothing compares. Nothing.
Have you seen the actual music video? You know you're the GOAT when you make the other PROFESSIONAL DANCERS in your video look like background noise...
I saw that live and i am so thankful for it. It was a pleasure to see him on stage. My expectations were high, but he blowed away. It was the best concert of my life. MJ was the king and will be ever the king. He was the inspiration of so many artists, he was the game changer. As he passed away i slept and got a text-message from a friend. I was awake directly and ran to the tv and it was real. Horrible day. The next weeks i couldn’t hear any music. He was the soundtrack of my life. Thanks for this video!!! I had goosebumps, it was my concert… in a huge stadium … Memories
Boy watching this definitely brings back memories and you really realize how amazing MJ really was. There is absolutely NO ARTIST that can do what he did, there is only ONE MJ!! Respect!!🙏🏽
I was sitting in my living room with my pops and a couple of other people. The room just went silent and stayed silent for a solid few minutes before there was a legit outpouring of emotion from everyone in the room. It hit hard man.
I was in Cañon City, CO. It was a really rough spot in my life. Mike was a piece of my childhood. What a loss. You are absolutely right, he is the Mt Rushmore of Entertainment! Great analogy. Appreciate you both.
I grew up listening to the Jackson 5, he was awesome in the 70's & to perform the way he did clear up to his death was amazing!!! I think I told this story, but SEGA put out his "Michael Jackson Moon Walker" game & Michael designed it!!! I played that game all the time!! The music was crystal clear like you had it on the stereo turntable. The quest was to rescue Annie, the little girl who was mentioned in Smooth Criminal. There were "Goons" that were like in the mafia. In order to beat them up to save Annie, you pushed "A" & "C" at the same time on the remote & Michael would do a dance move throwing his hat & knocking them down. They played a bunch of his songs, I loved that game so much!!! When MJ died, I think I was cleaning house when I heard about it. I watched the funeral in awe thinking it couldn't be possible the "King of Pop" has passed away. Loved your reaction, Tim & Fred. If you liked this, you should try, "Scream" with MJ & Janet. That was a newer one that they did not too long before he passed away. His music got me busting a move on many of his songs, more to possibly try is: Dirty Diana, PYT (Pretty Young Thing) , Rock With You, Man In the Mirror, to name a few. I'm not sure if you've heard these or not. I'm sure you've heard "Beat It", "Bad", "Billie Jean", etc & I think you'd like these as well!!!! 😎👍🏻❤☮
I've been a fan ever since watching him and his brothers on the Ed Sullivan show around 1968. I was 7, and have followed him through the years. My favorite album is Off the Wall, which I found on vinyl a few months before his death at a flea market along with Thriller, the originals :) anyway, I'm a home health and hospice nurse and had finished seeing my patients and when I got home I heard the news that he was in the hospital. I immediately started praying for him, only to no avail. After he passed my son wanted me to sell the vinyl, to fund my trip to the UK. NOPE, i didn't do it, still have them
I cried every day for two years when Michael died. I never got to see him play live but he did come into Tower Records in London in about 1995 and we shut the store down so he could shop. He walked right passed me. My friend who was chosen to show him around the r n' b and soul section said he was so lovely and he smelt amazing 💔
I have a good friend who grew up in Poland, that saw him on this tour as a teenager. Her and some friends traveled down to Bucharest. They arrived two days before the show and camped out in the rain with thousands of other fans, just to see a glimpse of him at the hotel. She said the concert was the best she's ever seen, and that the atmosphere was wild. People were being carried above the crowd to medical personnel, because they'd passed out from pure excitement. She summed it all up by saying it wasn't just a concert, it was an experience.
This is probably my most favorite MJ song. I was a teen/young adult during this period of time and it was probably his best years, in my opinion. I love watching you guys hear new and discover new to you music! It’s awesome.
Michael always spoke of how inspired by Fred Astaire he was. His whole smooth criminal idea came from Fred Astaire movie Bandwagon dance with Cyd Charisse. You should check it out. ❤️
@@harvestnoelcrawford7026 Fred was inspired by many but he had been in vaudeville and was experienced and taught dance with his sister Adele before getting in films. He too was in a class of his own.
I was at a check cashing place watching the breaking news on their TV screen. My heart stopped, and I almost broke down right there. I couldn’t believe it. Not my idol. 13 years ago and It still hurts like yesterday. MJ was family to the world.
I am thankful that I was able to see MJ live! One of the best experiences of my life. I had just left my mom’s house where she and I were talking about Farrah Faucett, who had passed away that morning. By the time I got home and turned on my tv, there was breaking news that MJ was rushed to the hospital. Such a devastating loss to this day.
My family had just gotten home from my grandfather’s funeral… which didn’t effect me nearly as much as reading that Michael was gone. That’s when the tears started… and to this day will still flow when I think about him. I grew up with Michael’s music and thought of him as a friend, even though I never met him. His death is still the most profound “celebrity death” I’ve experienced.
Awesome choice! Thanks Guys! 😃 Without a doubt, it’s a banger! 💥 I saw The Jackson’s Victory Tour in Vancouver, BC Canada , in 1984. Smooth moves!! They played two nights. I went to both shows and had an incredible time. Amazing performances with all six brothers on one stage. It was also the debut of Michael’s legendary moonwalk.
Michael’s genius began at such a young age. Please check out his amazing vocals on Who’s Lovin’ You (a Jackson 5 song but Michael sings lead), written by another goat, Smokey Robinson. You hear that and it’s easy to see why he was revered for decades.
Check out some of his older music videos, Remember the Time, Thriller, Beat It, MJ tore the floor UP with his dancing in those videos. Even this video here he was amazing.
Remember the Time, was my favorite. I was mesmerized by this video loved it. It had everything in it music, song, dance, magic. Eddie Murphy, Magic Johnson and Iman a whole production...🌠⚡🌠 awesome👍
Absolutely amazing. I’m a dance fan and tbh there’s no one like Michael for those moves! My daughter learning to dance and we gotta watch a few MJ dance routines every now and then. Wow 😮!
Michael Jackson has all the moves he has so much music that I've listened to in my life I just turned 43 today and mjs influence in my life will always be there if he was still alive and he had concerts omg they would be lit
I went two of the Victory Tour concerts. I was obsessed with Michael in high school. I have an official tour jacket that I won from a tv show contest. The "glossy book" from the concert is so cool.
Best concert i ever went too cost me $75.. highlight of my life to see MJ in concert in Auckland, New Zealand 11th Nov 1996 the HIStory tour. Just a once in a lifetime. He dedicated his life to entertaining us and sharing his love❤🙏 Thanks Michael for the memories!
Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal video (and this live performance) were tributes to Fred Astaire's movie "The Band Wagon". Michael's style of dancing was not like that of the performers who dance or create dance routines, but rather the styles of the greats that were before him. They didn't DANCE, they PERFORMED; they put on PRODUCTIONS. They told the story with their dancing. They ACTED in their DANCES. THAT'S what seperates Michael from the others. In order to really appreciate Michael, you have to know WHERE his inspirations came from and how everything he did was so intentional. And guess wha? i'm still learning, and i've been a fan for 53 years. And in my learing, I am discovering; discovering the old movies, the old stars and it's so fun!! In MJ's song "Dangerous", his spoken part was a take on Fred Astaire's spoken part in "The Band Wagon": Fred: “She came to me in sections... She was bad; she was dangerous.” MJ: “She came to me in sections... The girl was bad; the girl was dangerous.” ruclips.net/video/T8QmkDzD8Sk/видео.html
He was an amazing entertainer. I saw him live in the '80s and even though we were sitting way up in the corner of a stadium and he was on the opposite end of the field on a stage, we could not take our eyes off him. You felt like if you blinked, you were going to miss something cool that he would do with his dancing! When he died, I was at a business conference and we were all shocked to hear about it. Shocked, but almost not shocked, as his lifestyle had grown increasingly out of hand; he was using drugs to sleep and drugs to wake up. So many stars who live in the spotlight all the time go that route, and it never seems to end well.
It must have been a few months after he died that Neverland rides were sold to a carnival company , it was strange because in my town about a year after his death when the county fair came into town they had all the Neverland rides. They were playing all his music. As people walked past the various Neverland rides and heard the music you could see the effect it had some would start to cry some would dance. It was surreal.
This is the mj I grew up on. Unmatched in talent and my favorite artist. I have him tattooed on me and performed his songs in talent shows. Thanks for this. No one will ever have these kinds of crowds again. If you REALLY want to see him dance react to the 1995 MTV awards. Not to mention he is SINGING and dancing live..no lip sync
I saw this concert in 1997. I was overwhelmed by his craftsmanship and talent, I cried all night and the next day! I get goosebumps every time I see his videos, and sometimes shed a tear remembering this gig. Thanks, lads for taking my suggestion and letting us in on your reaction to this video. MJ, always and forever.
Yeah, I don't recall what I was doing at home when I heard about Michael passing away, but I was totally surprised by the news. When I was a kid growing up in the 70's,I used to listen to some of his and his brothers music.
I was about 20 days away from my due date with my second son, who ended up being 2 weeks late, when MJ died. I named my son after him. Smooth Criminal is my favourite MJ song. If you guys watch This Is It you'll see how much energy and work he put into his shows and videos. He was a perfectionist and put everything into his art. I could not imagine growing up without his music.
I remember exactly where I was. My mom was picking my grandmother up from work and she got in the car and told us what happened. It was a crazy time, because so many people who hated his guts when he was alive were all of a sudden in LOVE with him after his passing. SOOO many phony people in this world. Full disclosure, I’m (obviously) partial to Prince as the GOAT, but that’s another conversation and is not to take anything away from Michael. All I know is that we lost SO many of the greatest almost all at once. The world just isn’t the same... If you haven’t already, check out his performance of “Rock With You” from the “Bad Tour” in Kansas City ‘88. You won’t be disappointed. 😉
You should watch the movie “This Is It”. It is a behind the scenes movie of his concert at the O2 stadium in London, where he was due to perform 50 shows. Unfortunately, he wouldn’t even do 1 show. The behind the scenes shown in the movie is a taster of what show could have been, and trust me, epic is an understatement.
Thank you for this video - which is such a tribute to all that Michael Jackson was - an entertainer who was truly a gift - wrapping his unbelievable joy of song and dance and presenting it to those lucky enough to hold a ticket to see him live and in concert. I feel truly blessed to have been there for his “Bad” tour. And dance he did, behind a white curtain until it dropped and revealed a full blown stage production. Watching and hearing Michael was insane, and seeing the crowd react was a part of the show that I will never forget. A young boy in front of me mimicked Michael’s every move, and sang every word. Michael and I grew up together in the 70’s - we never met - but I knew him … from watching him on his cartoon and seeing him perform on various TV shows including American Bandstand. I was on summer vacation in Hayward, WI when I heard the news - and I spent much of the following days glued to MTV and watching every video played and hearing his story. I love watching your videos and it’s cool to hear you grew up in Gary, like Michael. Thank you for this incredible memory of him performing live. Peace💜
His artistry is unparalleled. Whenever he premiered a new video the world stopped to watch, it was an event. I got to see him live on the "Bad" tour and I will never forget it. To this day that is still in my top three concerts ever. They even did the "Smooth Criminal" lean and the crowd was mesmerized. It was pure magic! There will never be another MJ!
Facts. A new video on MTV was an event!
👏👏👏👏👏 well stated
I was a fan, but not a really really big fan. I went with friends to a venue on the "Bad" tour and I actually won a ticket lottery and we got in the first five rows. At first I was going to give the tickets to friends but then I decided to go. Definitely the most mesmerizing concert I'd ever been to!
@@IntriguedLioness that’s the thing even if you’re not a big fan of MJ u still recognized he’s The Greatest!
Sounds amazing.
Often imitated. Never will be duplicated. He's the master.
He said it himself he will never be second to non
I just read about where the phrase Annie Are You Ok comes from. Mind blown.
@@KittyMKing please tell me about it
@@KittyMKing
Can you please give a lead so we can find out?
I'm also very curious about "Dirty Diana". Sounds like she was a higher up in the music industry.
@Charity Chanda - “Annie “ is the name of the mannequin when you’re learning CPR .

My daughter and I had the wonderful privilege of meeting Michael Jackson in a recording studio where his HiStory CD was being worked on. He had asked that my 9-year-old daughter attend the recording session that night so that he could hear her sing. He had been told about her by the gospel singer Andre Crouch, whose group was doing some of the backgrounds on HiStory.
After hearing my daughter (Leah Frazier) sing for him, he asked her if she'd like to sing a small part on the song HiStory. After that conversation, Michael ordered dinner for himself, Leah and I and we went upstairs to a small room overlooking the recording going on downstairs.
About a week later we were in a recording studio where my daughter sang her small part, and afterward Michael asked if we would come out to Neverland for the day when he was going to be doing a luncheon for those who worked on the HiStory CD. We ended up spending 12 hours at the ranch, and it was a thoroughly enjoyble day for my family.
She is one of the two child singers on the CD. The other child sang on the song 'Little Susie.' She was given album credit and paid by Sony Music.
Her small part starts at the 2:16:19 mark:

Aww that was so sweet, her voice is beautiful ❤
WoW ive just listened to her, this is very touching ❤️
If you like this performance, you need to check out the Billy Jean live performance where he did the Moonwalk for the first time. The turn and raise on his toes. Wow!! He was performing solo but he held the audience in the palm of his hand. An amazing showman from when he was a small boy (ABC).
I remember that like it was yesterday. My mind was blown!
@@Rutabega_NG I remember the next day in school all the kids trying to do the moonwalk. I was in grade school, so it was quite the site watching us try.
That was the best performance ever. Also rumor has it, MJ wasn't satisfied with his performance!
Definitely remember first time I saw Billie Jean live when he hit that moonwalk. It was jaw dropping. He could always dance 🕺 that's another one worth seeing
Not trying to be rude. But there are more than one of those. Michael Jackson performed Billie Jean live several times. And over the years improved the performance more and more. But all of his live performances of Billie Jean are amazing. 😁
🕺🏼🕺🏼💃🏿💃🏿🕺🏼🕺🏼💃🏿💃🏿. Thanks for the reaction to my all time favorite person MJ.
Love your enthusiasm in this video. MJ was truly a musical genius. Gone too soon.
Thanks Tim and Fred.
When you said "He is the mountain" that summed it up. My all time favorite. #KingOfPop
I was at home when the news reported that MJ passed... A radio station played his songs all day long. They called it MJ radio! I cranked it up and danced in his honor while bawling my eyes out! No one will ever be like him again!
I was driving home from work it came on the radio I had to pull over I 😥 so much it truly hurt I grew up on the Jacksons
Same🙋🏽♀️
His death made me cry hard. Couldn't listen to certain songs from him for years. Made me so sad.
He was great on TV, in person and vidoes. More people should apply there craft the way he did. He gave you his best. All or nothing. Agreed! He the mountain.
Definitely agree
Thank you for playing Smooth Criminal! It's one of my favorite Michael Jackson songs.
He did the performance in Munich Germany. Y'all need to review his video of the song. Even if you review is amongst yourselves. That leaning move was awesome!
No one I repeat NO ONE can replicate his sound, moves and talent. A true entertainer to his core! There will be only one MJ and he was called home way too early.
His stage presence was like no other. A G.O.A.T. in every sense of the word! I was in shock like the rest of the world was when his passing was announced by his brother. It was devastating to hear. Not to mention he had three young children at the time. They knew he was a superstar but to them he was just Daddy. It was a sad situation for his fans but especially for his family.
Again, thank you and please play more of MJ's music!
Michael Jackson is the GREATEST MUSIC ARTIST who ever lived!!!
Ditto!
Elvis
Michael
Elton
Bruce
Madonna
Tina
Gaga...
Some just GOT IT...others we I'll try but fail every time
The absolute Best entertainer Ever!

I was home in The Bahamas when I heard the news that Micheal Jackson had died, it was like a solemn feeling come over the whole country. I cried like a baby... I truly believe that anyone who loved and had a connection with his music understood the drastic loss on that day. RIP MJ
I was in total disbelief when I heard the news... My friend had to put me to sit down. Felt like I couldn't breathe! I loved him soooo much!
I remember when I heard the news… I’m not one to watch tv news or listen to it on the radio, back then I never had a smart phone. I had been out shopping all morning so was none the wiser. I got in and my partner at the time, said ‘have you heard the news??!’ I was like, ‘no, what?’ . Then he told me! I was in total disbelief, couldn’t believe I’d been walking round all morning not knowing 🙄.
Then I just watched all his videos back to back for days on MTV! 😂
Watched his entire career... from the little boy in the Jackson Five to the amazing transformation of the music video genre. He was a genius who made the most of the artistry of James Brown and added his own twist to it all.
He was also influenced by Jackie Wilson
He was the only one who combined James Brown and Fred Astair and received praises from both of them!
he far surpassed them
He was THE CREATOR...THE ORIGINAL....many have tried to copy...NO COMPARISON... GOAT!
Usher for one
@@dawnbailey910 exactly who I was thinking of!!
GOAT 💯
Baphomet is represented as a goat. I know you probably mean well, but the creator is the Most High. If you’re a Christian, then you know the devil tricks people into praising him, by praising the creation and not the Most High who is our creator. That is what destroyed M J., and kept him in perpetual slavery, when he tried to speak out about the evils of the world. He’s still singing and dancing, and will use his images, music, and especially the holograms. They will do it as long as they want, while making more money for his owners. When you choose to follow God, they call you a sheep, well the Lord is my shepherd, therefore I am one of his sheep. Following evil, will have you calling yourself the greatest of all time, which is in direct conflict to the most high, for none is greater than he. Being too prideful and worshipping money and fame, is not of God.
@@dawnbailey910 wouldn't say copy...inspired for sure. like mj was inspired by james brown frank Sinatra and many more and incorporated into his own s
This generation has been soooo deprived of this kind of GREATNESS, NOBODY can touch his showmanship..Periodt
Thank God for videos of his performances. His legacy lives on through us sharing his artistry with our kids & grandkids.
MJ is the TRUTH!?!🎶🎶🎶❤️
Brings the Fire🔥🔥🔥
MJ wore special shoes designed by his creativity to do that “Lean”!!!
The Original Performer!!!❤️
When he passed I was at work and was devastated by the news!!
MJ Forever!!💕💕💕
So you guys are from Gary, Indiana , so cool that you lived near the Jackson 5 and family!!
Love your reactions!!!
I remember when I was a young kid playing baseball ⚾️ outside with my friends and my mom or sister would cone out to tell me Micheal Jackson is on tv and I would stop call time out 🤚👈 be right back fellas. I will run into the house to watch Micheal Jackson perform and when it was over I would run back out side and continue playing baseball with my friends..🕺🕺🕺
He was a musical genius. Gone too soon. I watched Janet Jackson documentary last weekend and saw the house they grew up in. Great reaction guys
I was fortunate enough to see Michael and all the Jackson brothers on the Victory tour when it came to Toronto. Fantastic show. Unparalleled talent
I saw The Jackson's at Dodger Stadium on their Victory Tour.
Saw that concert in Dallas! Amazing. Walked away stunned at the talent I just saw.
There will never EVER be anyone who can live up to Michael Jackson ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Micheal, genuinely and ethically cared about people and he took security issues serious when it came to protecting his fans during his concerts. He is truly missed ❤
This man made music for and entertained literally 4 generations during his own lifetime. From my grandmother to my children. We will never see another like him.
I seen him and his brother preform at our school. I am 56yrs old. I taught my son the Moonwalk at 11 months old, and he has Never stopped dancing. He has video's on RUclips, and he is good ! Not because he is my son, but because he has a Love for dance.
Michael Jackson is Beyond a legend 💣💥💗💨
I am happy I grew up in his ears, to watch him continue to blossom throughout his Cast career. I and my children mourned the world's loss of such a gifted soul.
To the host's and those who have never really seen his skills, nor really heard All possible recordings of his vocal abilities, should truly research him.
I encourage everyone, to look into the Black and White old films, from way back. Search for the dancer's (in different categories), the Musicians, singer's, and Actor's. Then you can learn so much. You will see moves, that different artist's have used. Michael Jackson, isn't the man that invented the Moonwalk....
Once you start watching these Films of Black Entertainers, you will see other's preform such moves.
Michael was highly intelligent.
His words, all had meaning.
He never had a "pointless" song. Really listen the his words, I implore you.
When Michael Jackson died and it was announced on our local radio, I was walking into a restaurant in Mizner Park, in Boca Raton, Fl. As I was parking I heard the news and broke down in tears. All of us attending high school and college during the MJ years were sad. He took a piece of us with him.
RIP Michael Jackson
Fun Fact: This song was inspired by a first aid class. When they covered CPR they had a practice dummy named Rescue Anne. The first thing you're supposed to do is determine if the victim is conscious which resulted in gently shaking the dummy while asking, Anne are you ok?, etc. The rest of the song filled in with how Anne/Annie ended up on the floor.
Thanks I never knew that very interesting. The song never made sense to me, it was just good music, good song and I was just jamming to it.
Wow so interesting, tfs.
I remember certifying in CPR and the dummies WERE called Rescue Annie... But I'd never heard that story! Thank you for sharing!
and the song Staying Alive by The Bee Gees is the beat for the chest compressions of CPR
@@ajruther67 really wow that is so interesting, tfs that
MJ will always be one of the greatest! That stamina, those moves, just incredible! My parents saw him live three times and had tickets for the tour he was planning to do before he died, he must have been amazing to see live. He was the first celeb I ever saw my mum cry over when he died.
YES! More MJ dance videos! Your reactions were just as fun to watch as MJ's dancing!!! MORE PLZ ❤❤❤
I love watching the young ppl discovering and enjoying the gifts and talents of the superstar MJ. He left a mark on the world and will never be forgotten.
When mj the GOAT passed I was 4 and cried hard and I feel asleep on the treadmill in the house and watched the funeral I will forget that day even tho I was 4 I still remember it
In my lifetime, I was blessed to see him live twice. He took the torch from a few entertainers before him and he ran with it like no other. The blueprint he created may never be duplicated, as far as the impact....Like most, I remember when the world seemed to stop moving on the day he released "Thriller"....Literally!! A lot of his music had a message in it....while at the same time, it was full of energy...and the videos...him dancing....WOW!!
I remember I was sitting outside on my porch with my family eating and we heard the news that Michael had died. I bawled my eyes out. Shortly after, there was a violent thunderstorm and I remember feeling like that was Earth’s reaction to his death as a lot of other areas across the country reported storms too. I have loved Michael for as long as I can remember and I’m now 50 years old. He’s also always been my biggest crush. There will never be another like him. I’m so glad I had his music in my life since I was a child. I will always love him and mourn his death and mourn the way so many treated that wonderful and kind man the last 16 years of his life over a bunch of lies.
He is the best that ever done it. I was blessed to go to a Micheal Jackson concert. It was amazing.
I was home. A lady name Farrah Fawcett died first. So they were talking about her death and then hours later they said he died. Unbelievable.
June 25th, 2009. My world stopped for a little bit that day.
I was in the car when I heard the news, and I cried every day for 4 years after that. My daughters and best friend wondered if I'd ever get over it. I did, but I didn't forget. There were flash mobs everywhere doing the Thriller dance. Ten thousand people shut down a freeway in Mexico City to do it. It was truly a watershed moment.
Same!! It hurt so bad and the pain lingered.😔 You do get over it, but you don't forget.❤
13 years and I'm still weeping 😭
I still cry
I am still crying 13 years later
I cried for years too I had a really hard time accepting his death. He was my childhood and a part of my childhood died with him on june 25 2009
I watched Michael perform live in London in 1992 on the Dangerous tour. Hanging off the crane singing Beat it!! Increíble.
A MASTERPIECE! It doesn't matter how old it is. MJ is the beast of music. Every moment in this entire music video is a continuous dance. Absolutely incredible! 🥰
He was the best!
@@sharians-bluesky howdee my southern sista! How are you?
@Marilyn Appleton Very good 👍🏼 😊!!! Hope you are well Sis. Sorry about that snow 🌨🌬. Stay safe friend.
@Sharian Fields, I'm glad you are good. Yeah, we ONLY got 7.7", co-worker got 24.7" in her area. 😁 NYC got almost 10", but the city DIDN'T shut down. Businesses were opened & public transportation was still going. Now we are preparing for a bad ice storm on Fri!
@Marilyn Appleton Goodness 🥶. It was 57° today & 68° tomorrow with rain. Scary. Tornado weather. Too much fluctuation.
There will never, ever be another MJ. I'm so glad I got to grow up watching him. RIP Michael, The King of Pop 👑🎤🧤 You are greatly missed 🕊♥️
Guys, first of all Greetings from Germany to you! And then, let me say: YES, I saw him live, also 1997, but not in Munich, I saw him just the show before, in Cologne. And it was unbelievable, the best show I ever saw in my live... Sound, Band, Performance.. just like from another planet... Probably the best Entertainer we had in history... All the best to you!
The dancing. OMG.
We DO have dancers that can do this - but def do not sing and dance. Every single muscle in your body is under your control and on beat.
Amazing. . .
"He the mountain"
You are spitting FACTS. There are VERY few artists that can even remotely touch the level of artistry that Michael had, and STILL has. No other artist today is on the same level imho. They can be the greatest of THEIR time, but the greatest of ALL time is and honestly might forever belong to him.
I grew up with four sisters. Our whole family went to see the Jackson 5 at Cobo Hall in Detroit in 1973. My only time seeing MJ live. Even then MJ was like a bolt of lightening on the stage! "Dancing Machine" was their big hit.
That was a great, great song.
Those were the good days of his career!!!!! Loved his moves!!!!!
The full official video to this song (not the weirdly speeded up version they released as a single) is probably the best music video of all time and features extraordinary dancing.
I HAVE to agree with you, phenomenal
The "leany bit" Smooth Criminal dance move is utterly iconic. Period.
That said, the Thriller dance routine is the best music video choreography ever, nothing compares. Nothing.
MJ was definitely the first artist I fell in love with. Used to watch my Moonwalker tape constantly as a kid!
Have you seen the actual music video? You know you're the GOAT when you make the other PROFESSIONAL DANCERS in your video look like background noise...
I saw that live and i am so thankful for it. It was a pleasure to see him on stage. My expectations were high, but he blowed away. It was the best concert of my life. MJ was the king and will be ever the king. He was the inspiration of so many artists, he was the game changer.
As he passed away i slept and got a text-message from a friend. I was awake directly and ran to the tv and it was real. Horrible day. The next weeks i couldn’t hear any music. He was the soundtrack of my life.
Thanks for this video!!! I had goosebumps, it was my concert… in a huge stadium … Memories
Boy watching this definitely brings back memories and you really realize how amazing MJ really was. There is absolutely NO ARTIST that can do what he did, there is only ONE MJ!! Respect!!🙏🏽
I was sitting in my living room with my pops and a couple of other people. The room just went silent and stayed silent for a solid few minutes before there was a legit outpouring of emotion from everyone in the room. It hit hard man.
Still one of my favorite songs by Michel Jackson!! Such a tragic loss for the music community 💔
I was in Cañon City, CO. It was a really rough spot in my life. Mike was a piece of my childhood. What a loss. You are absolutely right, he is the Mt Rushmore of Entertainment! Great analogy. Appreciate you both.
I grew up listening to the Jackson 5, he was awesome in the 70's & to perform the way he did clear up to his death was amazing!!! I think I told this story, but SEGA put out his "Michael Jackson Moon Walker" game & Michael designed it!!! I played that game all the time!! The music was crystal clear like you had it on the stereo turntable. The quest was to rescue Annie, the little girl who was mentioned in Smooth Criminal. There were "Goons" that were like in the mafia. In order to beat them up to save Annie, you pushed "A" & "C" at the same time on the remote & Michael would do a dance move throwing his hat & knocking them down. They played a bunch of his songs, I loved that game so much!!!
When MJ died, I think I was cleaning house when I heard about it. I watched the funeral in awe thinking it couldn't be possible the "King of Pop" has passed away. Loved your reaction, Tim & Fred. If you liked this, you should try, "Scream" with MJ & Janet. That was a newer one that they did not too long before he passed away. His music got me busting a move on many of his songs, more to possibly try is: Dirty Diana, PYT (Pretty Young Thing) , Rock With You, Man In the Mirror, to name a few. I'm not sure if you've heard these or not. I'm sure you've heard "Beat It", "Bad", "Billie Jean", etc & I think you'd like these as well!!!! 😎👍🏻❤☮
Been tMJ concerts they are the best. It leaves you wanting more,
Loving the energy and the genuine excitement of your reactions!! Keep them coming!!
I love Michael I am glad to see other fellow young people listening to him and recognizing unparalleled talent and legacy 🥰💯
I've been a fan ever since watching him and his brothers on the Ed Sullivan show around 1968. I was 7, and have followed him through the years. My favorite album is Off the Wall, which I found on vinyl a few months before his death at a flea market along with Thriller, the originals :) anyway, I'm a home health and hospice nurse and had finished seeing my patients and when I got home I heard the news that he was in the hospital. I immediately started praying for him, only to no avail. After he passed my son wanted me to sell the vinyl, to fund my trip to the UK. NOPE, i didn't do it, still have them
I cried every day for two years when Michael died. I never got to see him play live but he did come into Tower Records in London in about 1995 and we shut the store down so he could shop. He walked right passed me. My friend who was chosen to show him around the r n' b and soul section said he was so lovely and he smelt amazing 💔
There will never be anyone else like Michael Jackson. The one & only. May he RIP.
Saw Michael live in Sweden, it was lit! Life changing experience. I’m so glad you get to see it too. ❤️
There is the reason why he was the King of Pop. I was blessed to live during his career.
I have a good friend who grew up in Poland, that saw him on this tour as a teenager. Her and some friends traveled down to Bucharest. They arrived two days before the show and camped out in the rain with thousands of other fans, just to see a glimpse of him at the hotel. She said the concert was the best she's ever seen, and that the atmosphere was wild. People were being carried above the crowd to medical personnel, because they'd passed out from pure excitement. She summed it all up by saying it wasn't just a concert, it was an experience.
This was the Life.... trying to copy those moves..wait until you see THE MOVE😲😲😉
That LEAN THO
This is probably my most favorite MJ song. I was a teen/young adult during this period of time and it was probably his best years, in my opinion. I love watching you guys hear new and discover new to you music! It’s awesome.
I saw him live in 1988 in London. Even though I was a long way from the stage the atmosphere was ELECTRIC!!
I saw him at Wembley Stadium in London on the History Tour. Something you never forget
Live in concert he was truly a sight to behold, unmatched performance. 💜
Michael always spoke of how inspired by Fred Astaire he was. His whole smooth criminal idea came from Fred Astaire movie Bandwagon dance with Cyd Charisse. You should check it out. ❤️
And fred got his move from the harren brothers
I remember seeing that movie.
@@harvestnoelcrawford7026 Fred was inspired by many but he had been in vaudeville and was experienced and taught dance with his sister Adele before getting in films. He too was in a class of his own.
Hey love ❤️ you guys .. MJ is The Best .. pure gold
I was at a check cashing place watching the breaking news on their TV screen. My heart stopped, and I almost broke down right there. I couldn’t believe it. Not my idol. 13 years ago and It still hurts like yesterday. MJ was family to the world.
I am thankful that I was able to see MJ live! One of the best experiences of my life.
I had just left my mom’s house where she and I were talking about Farrah Faucett, who had passed away that morning. By the time I got home and turned on my tv, there was breaking news that MJ was rushed to the hospital. Such a devastating loss to this day.
I am so grateful that I grew up in the MJ era. I was in high school when he came on the scene. He was and will always be amazing!
My family had just gotten home from my grandfather’s funeral… which didn’t effect me nearly as much as reading that Michael was gone. That’s when the tears started… and to this day will still flow when I think about him. I grew up with Michael’s music and thought of him as a friend, even though I never met him. His death is still the most profound “celebrity death” I’ve experienced.
Awesome choice! Thanks Guys! 😃 Without a doubt, it’s a banger! 💥 I saw The Jackson’s Victory Tour in Vancouver, BC Canada , in 1984. Smooth moves!! They played two nights. I went to both shows and had an incredible time. Amazing performances with all six brothers on one stage. It was also the debut of Michael’s legendary moonwalk.
If you went to a MJ concert you were truly lucky and blessed!
Michael’s genius began at such a young age. Please check out his amazing vocals on Who’s Lovin’ You (a Jackson 5 song but Michael sings lead), written by another goat, Smokey Robinson. You hear that and it’s easy to see why he was revered for decades.
I love this one.
Yes! Great video of when they audtioned for Barry Gordy @ Motown
Check out some of his older music videos, Remember the Time, Thriller, Beat It, MJ tore the floor UP with his dancing in those videos. Even this video here he was amazing.
Remember the Time, was my favorite. I was mesmerized by this video loved it. It had everything in it music, song, dance, magic. Eddie Murphy, Magic Johnson and Iman a whole production...🌠⚡🌠 awesome👍
Thriller or Beat It for absolute certain!
Absolutely amazing. I’m a dance fan and tbh there’s no one like Michael for those moves! My daughter learning to dance and we gotta watch a few MJ dance routines every now and then. Wow 😮!
I was at work at McDonald's..and I just cried and I felt like I died. He was the ,"REAL" HOUSEHOLD NAME IN MUSIC, AND STILL IS
at the grammys or mtv awards when he broke out the moonwalk for the first time is legendary
Michael Jackson has all the moves he has so much music that I've listened to in my life I just turned 43 today and mjs influence in my life will always be there if he was still alive and he had concerts omg they would be lit
Please watch MJ at the 1988 Grammy Awards singing The Way You Make Me Feel and 1995 MTV Awards singing Dangerous. You will love it ❤
Michael is everything. I Just Can’t Stop Loving You is the jam
Yes it is!!! I listen to that song so much I drive my husband and daughter crazy!
IMITATED, never DUPLICATED 🎤❤️
I find it hard to listen/watch MJ these days but his talent was undeniable. You need to watch the Smooth Criminal video that isnt live. Its amazing.
I went two of the Victory Tour concerts. I was obsessed with Michael in high school. I have an official tour jacket that I won from a tv show contest. The "glossy book" from the concert is so cool.
Best concert i ever went too cost me $75.. highlight of my life to see MJ in concert in Auckland, New Zealand 11th Nov 1996 the HIStory tour. Just a once in a lifetime. He dedicated his life to entertaining us and sharing his love❤🙏 Thanks Michael for the memories!
You know it's MJ by the perfection of the moves. Flawless master at work.
Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal video (and this live performance) were tributes to Fred Astaire's movie "The Band Wagon". Michael's style of dancing was not like that of the performers who dance or create dance routines, but rather the styles of the greats that were before him. They didn't DANCE, they PERFORMED; they put on PRODUCTIONS. They told the story with their dancing. They ACTED in their DANCES. THAT'S what seperates Michael from the others. In order to really appreciate Michael, you have to know WHERE his inspirations came from and how everything he did was so intentional. And guess wha? i'm still learning, and i've been a fan for 53 years. And in my learing, I am discovering; discovering the old movies, the old stars and it's so fun!!
In MJ's song "Dangerous", his spoken part was a take on Fred Astaire's spoken part in "The Band Wagon":
Fred: “She came to me in sections... She was bad; she was dangerous.”
MJ: “She came to me in sections... The girl was bad; the girl was dangerous.”

He was an amazing entertainer. I saw him live in the '80s and even though we were sitting way up in the corner of a stadium and he was on the opposite end of the field on a stage, we could not take our eyes off him. You felt like if you blinked, you were going to miss something cool that he would do with his dancing!
When he died, I was at a business conference and we were all shocked to hear about it. Shocked, but almost not shocked, as his lifestyle had grown increasingly out of hand; he was using drugs to sleep and drugs to wake up. So many stars who live in the spotlight all the time go that route, and it never seems to end well.
Did you hear how they hit that "A smooth criminal" at the same time? Just like "Jolene"! 😁😁😁
It must have been a few months after he died that Neverland rides were sold to a carnival company , it was strange because in my town about a year after his death when the county fair came into town they had all the Neverland rides. They were playing all his music. As people walked past the various Neverland rides and heard the music you could see the effect it had some would start to cry some would dance. It was surreal.
This is the mj I grew up on. Unmatched in talent and my favorite artist. I have him tattooed on me and performed his songs in talent shows. Thanks for this. No one will ever have these kinds of crowds again. If you REALLY want to see him dance react to the 1995 MTV awards. Not to mention he is SINGING and dancing live..no lip sync
I saw this concert in 1997. I was overwhelmed by his craftsmanship and talent, I cried all night and the next day! I get goosebumps every time I see his videos, and sometimes shed a tear remembering this gig. Thanks, lads for taking my suggestion and letting us in on your reaction to this video. MJ, always and forever.
Yeah, I don't recall what I was doing at home when I heard about Michael passing away, but I was totally surprised by the news.
When I was a kid growing up in the 70's,I used to listen to some of his and his brothers music.
I was about 20 days away from my due date with my second son, who ended up being 2 weeks late, when MJ died. I named my son after him. Smooth Criminal is my favourite MJ song. If you guys watch This Is It you'll see how much energy and work he put into his shows and videos. He was a perfectionist and put everything into his art. I could not imagine growing up without his music.
I remember exactly where I was. My mom was picking my grandmother up from work and she got in the car and told us what happened. It was a crazy time, because so many people who hated his guts when he was alive were all of a sudden in LOVE with him after his passing. SOOO many phony people in this world. Full disclosure, I’m (obviously) partial to Prince as the GOAT, but that’s another conversation and is not to take anything away from Michael. All I know is that we lost SO many of the greatest almost all at once. The world just isn’t the same... If you haven’t already, check out his performance of “Rock With You” from the “Bad Tour” in Kansas City ‘88. You won’t be disappointed. 😉
You should watch the movie “This Is It”. It is a behind the scenes movie of his concert at the O2 stadium in London, where he was due to perform 50 shows. Unfortunately, he wouldn’t even do 1 show. The behind the scenes shown in the movie is a taster of what show could have been, and trust me, epic is an understatement.
Michael Jackson Could Dance!!!! He was extremely talented
Thank you for this video - which is such a tribute to all that Michael Jackson was - an entertainer who was truly a gift - wrapping his unbelievable joy of song and dance and presenting it to those lucky enough to hold a ticket to see him live and in concert.
I feel truly blessed to have been there for his “Bad” tour. And dance he did, behind a white curtain until it dropped and revealed a full blown stage production. Watching and hearing Michael was insane, and seeing the crowd react was a part of the show that I will never forget.
A young boy in front of me mimicked Michael’s every move, and sang every word.
Michael and I grew up together in the 70’s - we never met - but I knew him … from watching him on his cartoon and seeing him perform on various TV shows including American Bandstand.
I was on summer vacation in Hayward, WI when I heard the news - and I spent much of the following days glued to MTV and watching every video played and hearing his story.
I love watching your videos and it’s cool to hear you grew up in Gary, like Michael. Thank you for this incredible memory of him performing live. Peace💜
I've seen Michael Jackson in concert only once, Facts: 'This Brotha' was 'Simply Dope'.. R. I. P 4-Ever💖
He is soooo AMAZING!! Could watch him dance all day!!! Never gonna be another like him.
What musical genius looks like!!!!!!💖💖💖
