In simple terms, he’s shaming the media industry for their clickbait headlines, those that write up false narratives to tarnish celebrities, etc. He’s basically saying that if everyone stood up and didn’t glorify such things, that it wouldn’t have legs to stand on anymore. Unfortunately, it’s still a huge problem today, and has even gotten bigger with social media.
this is when he started to always tell fans to have a massive tabloid burning especially the fans waiting in front of his hotel. He would write it on pillows and throw it into the crowds. I think he wished to see a massive fire.
2 weeks without MJ reaction feels like eternity. Finally another MJ reaction! This track is fire, glad you liked it! That's how you clapback to the media...with "CLASS" ✨
This song should have been a single!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE it. #TabloidJunkie is my fav twitter hashtag. Michael really understood how the media manipulate us. Great video, Seph. I will echo others requests for you to react to Ghosts soon!
don't forget to watch full 39min version of Michael Jackson's Ghosts and History Tour. But i'm not sure what concert recommend you. Most of the 96 footage has TWYMMF and D.S./Come together, but don't have Blood on the dance floor. Definitely not Munich 97. Sydney and Manila is good but they are not full. On the other note there is a one-time event special out of tour concert in july of 1996 in Brunei, where everything is going in Dangerous Tour setting with some songs from History album. So it is starting with Jam in 1996 oO
True, people think he only sang songs, but he pretty much wrote every song he sang and was a co-producer on his albums having a lot of input on the musicality, he picked the musicians, the instruments and styles he envisioned and then directed everyone on how to produce the final product. If you've seen his documentary This is It you can see how involved he is with his music production giving pointers and suggestions on how a particular chorus or verse needs to sound like.
Excellent reaction and thoughts. As a fan who never believed the news from 1993 and who doesn’t read newspapers or watch the news knowing the words used are just for attention and taken out of context, I can say the moment I heard this on HisStory back on its release , the chorus and meaning stuck.
What I absolutely love about this song is the distinct layers. Lots of songs have a verse, bridge, and chorus, but each element in this song is superb. Just when you think the song couldn't get any better or more interesting it does! Also, the way he sings on the verses is amazing. He is practically spitting. It's amazing. I love that about his vocals on HIStory. He is such a multi-faceted singer.
I think he mentioned Marilyn cause she was another public figure and also the target of speculation, rumors and sensationalism, hence the line "She's blonde and she's bisexual"...
"The singer says that the hyperberic chamber has the benefits of reversing the aging process" when did he ever say that?? He already cleared that up see that's what they do, the man can't even talk about a story he liked they twist it damn
Unfortunately I've been rather sick with Covid and had to take off a couple of weeks to recover. But I'm slowly getting back into reactions. By Monday I should be back to normal enough to release videos more often 😄 Also on a side note, OMG Kelly! You have been going through all my Michael reactions and I absolutely ADORE your comments you have been leaving!! Very informative and lovely, I've learnt a lot from you not gonna lie. I honestly want to send you the biggest hug 🤗 thank you ❤️
Everybody wants to Read All About It!.. referring to himself , this is the way life was for Michael every single week you couldn't go anywhere without seeing his face plastered on a magazine, a tabloid!
Funny how this song was the starting song for the tribute concert (by Sergio Cortez) at Varna yesterday I even got the jean jacket and a fedora on, cause who else would do that here
Omgg welcome back Seph!! I thought you quit youtube 😭😭 I was so sad I missed you so much!! It's great to see your lovely smile and excitement again ❤❤❤
I've been waiting for this for weeks! VERY powerful song, he was crucified by the media and tabloids until he died, and what angers me the most is that the second he died, they started praising him again, calling him the King Of Pop as if they weren't largely responsible for his pain while he was alive, constantly mocking him for his appearance calling him "wacko jacko" etc 😡😠
It's so powerful I love it but it's so sad he even had to make this song 😢 the pain in his voice especially towards the end you can feel it! It's really personal to him, "speculate to break the one you hate", "assassinate and mutilate", "with your pen you torture me"... the lyrics are so heavy, the adlibs you can hear him saying "you gotta believe me", shows how much he was suffering having his image distorted 💔💔 the media was rurthless to him!
since 1995, i thought this song's verses were lyrically nonsensical gibberish. it wasn't until recent years that i learned the words that i realize Michael was hitting us heavy in the lyrics. dropping real knowledge. one of the biggest mistakes was not including song lyrics in the HIStory album's booklet. could have used those back in 1995.
Seph: That will preach you are so correct, I am always saying the exact same thing to people who ssay ( they say) wouldn't it be nice to actually met the group called they (LOL) !???
I’ve been waiting for you to listen to this one. Amazing song with an amazing message that’s just as (if not more) important today as it was back then.
8:40 Adrian Garay, President/CEO of Hyperbaric Modular Systems said "Michael did not sleep in a Hyperbaric oxygen chamber as doing so would cause oxygen toxicity in the body and he would have died" but no tabloids published that quote 🙄
They dehumanized him in a way that I've never seen with any other celebrity I feel bad for him :( "People will believe anything about me... in fact, why not just tell people I'm an alien from Mars. Tell them I eat live chickens and that I do a voodoo dance at midnight. They'll believe anything you say, because you're a reporter. But if I, Michael Jackson, were to say "I'm an alien from Mars and eat live chickens and do a voodoo dance every night at midnight", people would say "oh, man, that Michael Jackson is nuts. He's cracked up. You can't believe a damn word that comes out of his mouth." People don't know what it's like for me. No one knows, really. No one should judge what I've done with my life, not unless they've been in my shoes every horrible day and every sleepless night." - Michael Jackson, September, 1995.
Hey Steph have you heard that the Elvis evolution tour is on and it’s happening next may you need to check it out if you live near London that is.great. Vid keep it up.

@@tim3970 Not at all trying to self promote haha but i recently made a lyric video on my channel where i show all of the 'hidden' vocals and adlips like this. There are so many hidden things he said in that song 👀
I wrote down what I read in a comment someone left on this songs' audio on the official MJ channel about what he may be saying: "Everybody got someone thinkin' about them Everybody got some food to throw Everybody got some vicious slander Everybody got some news to know [...] Everybody's talkin' 'bout the end of thunder Who's got to accept it from them? Can't nobody know that they used to blame us" I'm not 100% certain if this is what he's really saying, but it sounds really close, and I've been running with it since. Hope this helps

How did you highlight *clickbait*😮
Us Moonwalkers have missed you seph!!!

He beatboxed this song also you will prolly see in an interview in 1995 later on the lyrics are very deep and still hold weight years later
SEPH IS BACK!!!! Dang it feels like it’s been weeks.
2 weeks without MJ reaction feels like eternity. Finally another MJ reaction! This track is fire, glad you liked it! That's how you clapback to the media...with "CLASS" ✨

I discovered this song last summer and have been obsessed ever since.
MJs beatboxing on this song was crazy! Glad you enjoyed this one. Wasn't sure you'd like it. But yeah, it's one of his best
I have a recommendation... The short film "Ghost". Another masterpiece
OMG yes!!! An underrated gem!
7:34 "See, Sunday times' not a friend of mine" - a line that is missed by many people, but is very direct and fits right into the song!
I thought he said "so many times gotta read a lie" 😂
Finally ❤ I've been waiting anxiously for another MJ reaction 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Seph. listen very closely to the very end of the song and you can hear the mic turn off.
I absolutely love this one it is so powerful.
He's such a great songwriter! He said it back then and people still read and believe everything..
Seph if you listen carefully you can hear him beatboxing in the background in your left ear! That's how he made songs, the man was a genius!
True, people think he only sang songs, but he pretty much wrote every song he sang and was a co-producer on his albums having a lot of input on the musicality, he picked the musicians, the instruments and styles he envisioned and then directed everyone on how to produce the final product.

The line you wrote actually refers to Madonna
@@Lucas_boilon No, to Marilyn.
@@globalcitizenn No I confirm once again it was addressed to Madonna
"The singer says that the hyperberic chamber has the benefits of reversing the aging process" when did he ever say that?? He already cleared that up see that's what they do, the man can't even talk about a story he liked they twist it damn
You should do MJ reactions closer than 2 weeks.. there is lots of MJ music out there
Unfortunately I've been rather sick with Covid and had to take off a couple of weeks to recover. But I'm slowly getting back into reactions. By Monday I should be back to normal enough to release videos more often 😄
Also on a side note, OMG Kelly! You have been going through all my Michael reactions and I absolutely ADORE your comments you have been leaving!! Very informative and lovely, I've learnt a lot from you not gonna lie. I honestly want to send you the biggest hug 🤗 thank you ❤️
Extremely happy & proud your back continuing your MJ journey Seph!😅🎉
Everybody wants to Read All About It!.. referring to himself , this is the way life was for Michael every single week you couldn't go anywhere without seeing his face plastered on a magazine, a tabloid!
one of my all-time favs
Seph is back! ///
Funny how this song was the starting song for the tribute concert (by Sergio Cortez) at Varna yesterday
I even got the jean jacket and a fedora on, cause who else would do that here
Happy to see that you’re back Seph.🔥🔥🔥🔥reaction ❤
I Can't wait when You react History World Tour Live in Auckland 1996 or History World Tour Live in Munich 1997.
You should do a reaction to Michael Jackson's "Ghost" on Halloween
Omgg welcome back Seph!! I thought you quit youtube 😭😭 I was so sad I missed you so much!! It's great to see your lovely smile and excitement again ❤❤❤
I have had covid for the past 2 weeks "Or it might have been the flu maybe" either way i was extremely unwell 😭
But I'm back now 😄
@@SephPlays I'm so happy you are ok and back now ❤😊
5:00 real motherflippin' talk bro
I've been waiting for this for weeks!

Would love for you to react to the Ghost short film on the 31st 😊
It's so powerful I love it but it's so sad he even had to make this song 😢 the pain in his voice especially towards the end you can feel it! It's really personal to him, "speculate to break the one you hate", "assassinate and mutilate", "with your pen you torture me"... the lyrics are so heavy, the adlibs you can hear him saying "you gotta believe me", shows how much he was suffering having his image distorted 💔💔 the media was rurthless to him!
The instrumentation on this one is incredible, without a lyric sheet it's rather difficult to understand him though!
Hearing these for the first time with you , this was an actual banger bro!!
since 1995, i thought this song's verses were lyrically nonsensical gibberish. it wasn't until recent years that i learned the words that i realize Michael was hitting us heavy in the lyrics. dropping real knowledge. one of the biggest mistakes was not including song lyrics in the HIStory album's booklet. could have used those back in 1995.
Michael entirely created this song with his beatboxing and recording it. All the percussion you hear is actually Michael's voice.
Seph:

Make cry by michael jackson please is amazing. thanks!!
Never heard this song 😍😮

yes I missed you seph I am so glad you like tabloid junkie and I Hope you wil like the next song which is 2 bad❤
They dehumanized him in a way that I've never seen with any other celebrity I feel bad for him :(

Lyrics are pretty close. You’d have to do some serious research to understand the message he’s sending with this one.
I've missed your MJ reactions 😢. It's such a pity you are doing them so rarely nowadays.
I've been extremely unwell over the past 2 weeks with covid but I'll be back doing reactions regularly next week 😄
@@SephPlays Oh, I see. I'm glad you are back, I'm looking forward to see your next reaction video! Best wishes from Germany from a Polish girl 🙋♀️🌻
Seph we need some Bon Jovi on the channel I know you’re gonna love them!!
11:44 yeah, and then they said it was a "sham".. he could never win 🙄
Hey Steph have you heard that the Elvis evolution tour is on and it’s happening next may you need to check it out if you live near London that is.great. Vid keep it up.
You doing history tour
Seph Can you react to ghost music video by Michael Jackson?
.... And video
Seph cant you please react to "You Are Not Alone" Live?
4:10 I've been trying to understand this part for so long... Does somebody know what is being said by Michael here?
I've no idea, someone needs to seperate the voiceovers cause I don't understand either

I think he was just saying random words and making random sounds to make the bridge more interesting, and express his frustration of course

Everybody's talkin' 'bout the end of thunder

I'm not 100% certain if this is what he's really saying, but it sounds really close, and I've been running with it since. Hope this helps
U still don’t get the d.s song? Even though the comments told u what it was about?.
What took so long?
I've had covid or something flu like for the past 2 weeks 😭 completely lost my voice for 3 days. Sad days 😩
Just because you read it in the bible, don't make it factual.
