Michael Jackson reaction, reaction to thriller album reaction
MJ was one of those artists who drew in ALL kinds of people. Among his fans you'd always see all ages and people from all walks of life; people who grew up entirely different, were at different parts and stages of thier life and who would still all be brought together.
It's not often that you get to see a crowd as diverse no matter where you go. And this only increased in diversity over time.
Landis and Michael worked so good together.
You mentioning the thing about "If Michael calls you at 2 at night, you'll be happy" reminded me of a story Jackie Chan once told in an interview. Because he WAS called my Michael at some point and it was late at night and his... I believe his agent told Michael that Jackie was asleep. And Jackie the next day was all "Why didn't you wake me up?! It was Michael Jackson!"
I vaguely recall a few other people sharing similar stories, but Jackie is the only one whose name I recall for a fact because that was...basically two legends whose work I admire adknowledging each other, haha.
Seriously i can hear Jackie Chan saying that sentence 😂
36:29 Again, you can see he's 12 years old. Behind the mask, he's not an adult. He wants to play. It's not complicated to understand.
36:40 "He always looks happy" Like a kid/teen actually.
36:53 Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.
44:25 Also
45:10 Also
Just because he works and talks like a professional doesn't mean he's not 12 years old. He's been doing it since that age.
I hate to admit it BUT... You are right! Child like for sure!
No he started when he was 5 so even earlier
This is exactly why its the BEST MUSIC video ever. Even after 4 decades because so much went into it, the dedication etc
Thank you so much for this reaction! It was so much fun to watch this right along with you! Isn't it wonderful getting to "know" Michael more? His personality is so wonderful. And you know what? I have never heard anyone who ever worked with him say a single bad thing about him. It's always about how kind, gentle, encouraging, and inspiring he was. Just a wonderful human being through and through! ❤
That childlike wonderment is very evident here. He finds the good in absolutely everything, and i love him for this!
11:02 the picture of Michael surrounded by the zombies was used as the alternate cover for Thriller 25
MJ’s vision is just undeniably genius he was destined to be The Greatest Music Artist To Ever Live! Also mind you MJ was already legendary by this point with his own successful solo career and his childhood success being the lead vocalist alongside his brothers in the Jackson 5 MJ by Thriller Era most would’ve hung it up but to think he went another 3 more decades of dominance after this is just incredible!🙌🏽👑💖🌟💯(This was a true cultural emergence that will never be duplicated ever again.)
Wait until you see the flash mobs after Michael died in 2009, there are so many videos of millions of people across the globe doing the thriller dance moves and his other songs, truly a once in a lifetime powerful artist whose voice resonated and united people across the globe
28:42 "He is a good dancer himself" so sweet hahah he considers as the greatest and most influential dancer ever. He studied the greats and became greater. He is the only artist who is inducted into the dance hall of fame. I think you don’t even realize what a dancer he was and how he revolutionized dance forever you can see his dance influence in every generation. He is the face of dance. He was unbelievable
I wasn't talking about MJ i was talking about the other guy 🤣
@@SephPlays oh 😂 my bad 😬
oh, a few quick things!
1) Michael actually self-funded the Thriller video! His label didn't want to pay for another video after Billie Jean and Beat it, but he was determined to make it, so he paid $1million to have it made. I *believe* his record label eventually paid for it though.
2) In order to make up some of the cost, they decided to make the "Making of Thriller" VHS tape that fans could buy, which is what you just watched! I'm not sure if this is true, but I read that this video is actually partly responsible for popularizing people buying movies!
3) I think it is interesting that you pointed out John Landis being kind of tough on him. Michael has said in many interviews that he likes people who are tough on him, artistically. He really thrives on critical feedback because he wants to be the BEST at EVERYTHING. However, it always makes me a little sad too, because he grew up with an incredibly harsh father who physically and psychologically abused him. There are stories of Joe Jackson watching his sons perform while holding a belt and whipping them if they missed a step or a note. So you can see how Michael would be responsive to critical feedback and have a thick skin for it too. Still, I read a story once where Quincy Jones said he was frustrated with progress toward the end of Thriller so at one point he kind of yelled at Michael. And he said he saw Michael flinch and have this look of real fear and pain flash across his face, before his eyes went kind of vacant. And he said he felt so badly after that, because Michael was so sensitive and he could see he was traumatized by his father, so he made it a goal to never yell at him again. It breaks my heart. Michael was an incredibly strong person. When you know about everything he went through, it really makes his personality even more remarkable!
I loved this information!! Thank you this answered a lot of my questions!! ❤️
@@SephPlays you're welcome!! ❤️ also I gotta say, you're like the best UA-camr I follow. Your reactions are top tier, but you also take the time to reply to so many comments. I cannot believe how consistent and dedicated you are. It's amazing! Thank you 😊
@@thewild5719 I honestly do try to keep up with comments. Even though im a small youtuber im still getting about 800 comments a week. And 90% of the time i can keep up with them. But sometimes it can take me a week or so to answer some of them 😔
But i do endeavour to answer everyone regardless haha
@@SephPlays wow!! 800 a week is insane!! I really respect that effort. Especially because I know I write a lot in almost every comment. I do that partially because I feel Iike you actually read comments, even if you can't *always* give a personal reply. It's obvious you do because you reference the stuff people say in your videos. Also, I feel like you've created a lovely little community here 😊 I honestly feel like you must have studied what you like and don't like in other channels and then applied it all to your own. You've never done a reaction I haven't loved! I love your MJ content so much I might *actually* start checking out the Elvis stuff, too 😂
ohhh gosh! You would be one of the few if you did watch my Elvis and MJ videos. I think only about 3 people actually do that "That i know of" haha
I don’t know where to start! The work and creativity that went into this was insane!! MJ was fully committed to the role and took it all like the consummate professional his is. Those contact lenses definitely hurt! In the 80’s they were thick and rather rigid. Thank goodness now they are almost paper thin. Younger generations will get an appreciation for what went into a production like this. No green screen. No computer-generated special effects. Thriller is a masterpiece!
This is why Michael and his whole body of work are on another level. Artists don’t spend this much time on videos. His work ethic and dedication to his craft are truly remarkable.
And yes, Ola Ray is stunning in this video. One of these days I’m going to master her sexy walk. It’s epic!
I really enjoyed the making of thriller. The behind the scenes was a lot of fun to watch
This is actually a VHS I remember getting this when I was little!!!
This is interesting!! Was it all of this video or only parts?
@@SephPlays It was all that vid. My aunt had the VHS as well.
I had it on VHS too. I wish they'd release it in HQ. I'd buy it all over again !
Omgg I can't how cute is Michael ❤ 36:30 he's running and jumping around lke an excited little boy hahah 😂 makes me want to hug him seeing him happy aww 😍💗💗
The world's best musician and dancer Michael Jackson. His style of dancing and singing music never seems childish. He always sang music in deep voice, so his songs are hit and catchy. Moreover he always wrote teachable music. He was the only person in the world who performed dance-music together in front of live audience. May her soul rest in peace..🇧🇩🎵🎧🇧🇩
John Landis is as much a perfectionist in his profession as Michael is in his. I recommend the rehearsals for Dangerous World Tour and especially the rehearsal for "Workin' Day And Night", where Michael rehearses a certain part over and over again with his dancers until he is satisfied. You get a brief glimpse of how Michael works, or at least you can guess. I find it very fascinating.
Michael here is so hug- able 😊 cuddle- able ❤ friend- shaped
MJ is a legend !
I'm watching all your Michael videos lol wow I didn't know there was a making of Thriller!! Such a fun video!! I feel like that time was probably the happiest he ever was, before the media started to make stuff up, he looked soo adorable during the Thriller era 😍
Thank you for this video it does make you appreciate how much went into this video
Great reaction
Truly Michael, you are second to none, a phenomenal artist incredible human being with the biggest heart and sole. Thank you Seph you are such a genuine thoughful person it come across in your reactions, a beautiful quality. God bless.
The Mickey Mouse sweater aww so cute! 😂❤😊
It's so adorable! I kinda want one because he had one xD
This is so amazing. Thanks for sharing this reaction. Loved it👍
Amazing behind the scenes 😍
I watched making of Thriller for the first time in 1988
nice! please reaction to michael jackson captain eo of 1986
YESSS CAPTAIN E.O:00
Its on my list 📃😉
This was very interesting! I love behind the scenes videos. I was 13 when this video came out, it was so exciting! Ya, putting in his contacts got me too, I’ve always worn glasses because the thought of contacts is horrifying. 😂. Seems like Michael and John had a good friendship going, very relaxed together. And to think he was technically Elvis’ son in law for about 2 years! Of course Elvis was already gone, but still!
Im glad im not the only one who hated the contact lenses 👀 gahhh!
Also its lovely to see the relationship they had 😍
Still the greatest album of all time. Thank you for doing a reaction for Thriller.
That making was awesome.
I loooove this reaction seph ❤❤These kinds of reactions i like the most . I looove behind the scenes and it's very obvious from the amount of facts i share with u 😂😂 . I do like the outcome and see the final product but my passion to see the creative process how they made it wether it's music, film or dance ant to analyze them as well especially when it came to Michael Jackson the king of details himself and to be honest some of the people around me think that i'm a bit crazy 😂😂😂 they say " the song is good after all why do u think too much about the angles of camera or is that soft guitar or piano we are happy with what we see take it easy ..lol😂"
Omgg how can you not love Michael?? So fun and funny!! Don't know if you know but John Landis and Michael also worked together on another video for the Dangerous album! I love their friendship!! I saw a video after Michael died where John talks about Michael and working on Thriller. He said it was like working with an "extremely gifted 10 year old", that he was "terribly sweet" and you can actually see that here 💗😊 he said Michael in general was just "a genuinely caring person", while talking about him he got really emotional and cried, he said it wasn't like him so that really is saying something, I actually teared up myself seeing how much he loved and missed Michael 😢😢❤
45:03 aww that part where John tickles Michael's foot is soo cute and funny I can't stop smiling 😂😂❤
(23:50) Your reaction to the insertion of the contact lenses is pretty funny here. I take it you don't wear contact lenses. I wore them for years and I did not like the feeling of putting them in and taking them out.
(28:50) (30:42) Oh, man, do I love when you dance along here, mimicking Michael's moves during his rehearsal. Those shoulder shrugs! The ghoul hand moves!
(33:24) "My toes hurt thinking about that!" Mine too!
Can you *Feel* them at all when they are in? 👀
@@SephPlays As your eyes become dryer, particularly at the end of the day, you can definitely feel the contacts in your eyes. They start to stick to your eyes like glue.
I had LASIK eye surgery to correct my vision about 15 years ago. Now that was terrifying. After the doctor performed the procedure on my first eye, all I could think was, "OMFG, now he's going to do that to my other eye!"
@@balovett Gahhhh NOPE!
Stick to your eye at the end of the day is a massive *nuh uh* from me 👀
You've had that laser eye surgery!??did it actually make a difference? I'm guessing you were short sighted?
@@SephPlays The laser eye surgery worked really well. I had nearly 20/20 vision afterwards. But after a few years my vision started to decline again, so I eventually had to get glasses for driving. However, my vision is far better than prior to the surgery. You're right. I'm near sighted. I won't describe the surgical procedure, because it still gives me the creeps to think about it too much. So it probably would rightly freak you out!
I love this so much 😊.
Been waiting for this ❤
Hey Seph!! Great reaction, I agree about contacts, I would always go with glasses and I did....luckily I didn't need it for long...😂😂 zombies doing normal stuff.
This is such an amazing video❤
Awww omgg Michael just so incredibly adorable here!! The way he's running around so happy at 36:31 with the big smile is just like a kid jumping all over the place super excited 🥰🥰😂❤
Btw it's not a fan made video as you keep calling it lol it's an actual documentary that was released on VHS back in 1983
Michael at 13:36: (when John Landis is putting him down) "you fuck!" 😂😂😂
Haha i love this 🤣🤣
I thought he said "you punk"? Lol
OLA is the lady’s name that’s in the thriller music video who’s playing Micheal jackson girlfriend, who actully was flirting with Micheal on the set of thriller. But years later she sued him
34:01 that’s little Micheal
I wear contacts they're fine. You get used to it
0:04 You're wrong my friend, this is not a Fan-made video, this is the official 'Making of Thriller' short film directed by Jerry Kramer and was released as a Home video worldwide by Vestron Video in 1984. Making of Thriller' became the biggest selling home video. Get your facts right bro, no disrespect..!
I can only go off what i was told 😅
@@SephPlays yeah seph its not fanmade haha, I didnt remember this being a documentary haha
The choreographer of the thriller dance Micheal peters sadly died of aids probably in the early 90s or something
Or maybe the late 80s he passed
Please react to Michael Jackson’s Captain EO full short film 4K from inbetween thriller and bad era in 1985 :) ❤
Seph i think you missed what Michael Peters said from here 32:30
Yeah you are completely right!
I was getting distracted by the dancing and MJs awesome jacket! Haha
But yes! What Mr Peters was saying here, really is talking up MJs talent! How he can learn stuff fast and even add in his own stuff is truly remarkable! The guy was a genius and people around him noticed 😍
@@SephPlays He was probably the best dancer of all time, in the next videos I'll make you notice how no one can copy his style, it's something you'll come to notice over time (us Michael fans notice everything haha), he had a perfection of movement that was out of this world. Btw Michael Peters was also the guy with the glasses and the mustache in the Beat It short film
@@AlexSR__it’s not even probably MJ is Thee Best Dancer Of All Time!👑💯(He is the only artist in the Dance Hall Of Fame)
@@Milkers777 yeah he is the best, dunno why i said probably lol
You should watch the makings of some m chemical romance songs ! Lol
I will definitely check more MCR songs and OTHER videos out :D
No Seph this is not fanmade haha, I remembered wrong hahaha
Keep telling him that all videos are fan made so he won't blurring them 😂😂😂
@@esraa-elgezawy2001 lol yeah haha, i didnt remember this was a documentary lol
Nahh its all cool! Haha
@@SephPlays my bad😅
Too bad John Landis also turned on Michael
Why are you talking over the commentary? you're missing all the interesting things they're saying
Tell me the things i missed?
@@SephPlays you’d know that if you weren’t talking now wouldn’t you?
@@JuzTroublez i dont think i missed anything. Unless you can mention something specific I'm just gonna say you are trolling me 🤔
