    Michael Jackson rarely did collabs… but when he did 🔥🔥🔥

      You are so right, he doesn't miss! A real deep cut is the track with Minnie Riperton, an absolute gem if you haven't heard it 🫶🏻

    The song wouldn’t be the same without Michael’s backing vocals. Rockwell is an awesome artist in his own right. I love his seemingly British accent throughout the song. Who’s Watching me is on my Halloween playlist right after Thriller. Thanks for taking the time to break the song down for us.

    I want "Remember the Time" to be next. Or "Scream" with Janet Jackson. Ugh, "Scream", that song never disappoints 🤤
    And as with "Somebody's Watching Me", ooh boy. I had a frightening time with the remake of this song, mostly its music video. I cried over it because of the "undead" celebrities as a child. My mom was there, my grandma was there... that was all during an event that I vaguely remember 😥

      Scream would be amazing. That one has so many layers and great samples from Janet’s songs, and even some of Michael’s songs.

    • @sammymccormack_
      @sammymccormack_  3 месяца назад +3

      Yessss! I need to find the proper Remember the Time tracks - only have an early version that Teddy did before Michael hopped on (still pretty cool but not really enough for a full video, we'll see!).
      But Scream, can definitely do that for you! (and does have some insane samples!) I'm not sure when it will be, but will likely be the next Janet video, maybe 'If' before that too. Was also thinking Dirty Diana would be pretty sweet. Too many MJ bangers 😭
      I hope this video hasn't brought back toooooo many of those childhood nightmares (sorry!) I totally get it though, seeing this video as a kid would be too scary! (a much more enjoyable remake with less nightmare potential is dropping tomorrow, hopefully that makes up for this 😅❤️)

    Great song and great "de-construction"! Thank you very much (I love how you "live" every intrument's track - a sign of true musician's soul :) ).
    P.S. Unfortunately I don't believe one word of Rockwell's story about the song creation and motown contract... - to me it's just PR trick created by his father in order to avoid nepotism accusations (it's routine solution in such situations - Tori Spelling was telling almost indentical story about her Beverly Hills 90210 casting :) ). I bet it was classic situation - spoiled son of record company owner decided he wanted to be a pop star too but had no talent (he can't even sing - just expressively blabs in verses :) ) and loving (but probably reluctant :D) father arranged everything for him so his son wouldn't make him cringe :D (including someone agreeing to write the song as a ghost-author. Maybe it was MJ himself... :) ). And after just 2 years of musical "career" sonny boy got bored and moved on to something new :)

      Thank you man, I really appreciate that 🙏🏽
      I definitely get where you're coming from, it's an interesting one... 100% makes for a great story and PR looking back on it. I also do find it a little hard to understand how Berry wouldn't know his son got a contract with Motown, especially after he's already heard the song previously ahah. But who knows! At least the song is an absolute banger 😎
      Also, don't know too much on the Tori Spelling story but will do some research! A good culture lesson, thank you!
