Michael Jackson reaction, First time hearing Smooth Criminal in wembley
And he did this with lungs affected by lupus! 👑👑👑
Many simply do not know how lupus can damage internal organs, especially the lungs. There can be life-threatening bleeding in the lungs in addition to repeated pleurisy. Michael recalls in his book Moonwalk: "I was messing around in the surf, and all of a sudden I couldn't breathe. No air. Nothing. I asked myself what's wrong? I tried not to panic, but I ran back to the house to find Jermaine, who took me to the hospital. It was wild. A blood vessel had burst in my lung. It has never reoccurred, although I used to feel little pinches and jerks in there that were probably my imagination. I later learned that this condition was related to pleurisy. It was suggested by my doctor that I try to take things a little slower, but my schedule would not permit it. Hard work continued to be the name of the game."
I know I sound redundant but MJ’s ability to sing and dance live as exceptionally as he does blows my mind! He’s the best there will ever be!
he makes it look easy. Just thing of going clubbing and singing key songs your dancing to for over an hour
@@richardwilliams6256 I would need an oxygen tank!
@@jlcmsw I had a dance rehearsal on wednesday evening for a christmas panto I'm doing. I was exhausted after just the warm up.
@@carn9507 I’m sure you’ll be great! That’s so awesome! Performing in front of people isn’t easy.
@@jlcmsw Thanks. :) I feel more comfortable on stage than I do off it. I never know what to do or say in 'real life' but on stage I've rehearsed everything that was written for me and know what I'm expected to do. Unless it's improv. I cannot do improv. I feel like everything I think of saying is gonna be stupid and I won't say it. :P So yeah, I love being on stage... when I've rehearsed a script. :P
Get ready the next song is gonna set the stadium on fire
Oooooooohhhhb yyyyyeeeahhhh🤩🤩🤩🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
This is why I never cared about the lip-synching later on. I knew he could do it live and had been since he was a kid. He never had anything to prove to me. 🤷🏻♀️
So long as it's still entertaining i honestly couldnt care about lipsync to be honest!
Well he also had health issues later on. Like his lupus was severely affecting him and it even affected his lungs.
@@finderkeeperrrshe had laryngitis at one point also
@@sophiaamancioo22 yep 👍
Listen to the 1988 concert in New York Madison Square Garden (only audio). There he sang Smooth Criminal in its entirety live, even including the second short clip verse.
Singlehandedly the greatest performer ever.
I loove your excitment everytime you watch Michael 😍
The lean is introduced better in later performances! Then he does it fully. The dance routine starting at 5:00 will be replaced by the now famous anti-gravity lean.
oh man, even I can't stop smiling today. seriously he is so good so mesmerizing dance moves and vocals here my gosh. and his lean oh I love him to doing lean here so so incredible performer he was and he did this lean without wearing his special shoes here. hats off to this man. his body is so good and so flexible. really he has a dancer's body. and dance suits on his body so well. I just love it. so happy feeling to see this. and yeah you should even react to Michael Jackson's Bad tour rehearsals it was damm good...
Oh yeah, no special shoes for this one. I don't think he'd had invented them yet so yeah he just does a lean til he's about to fall then walks on. The shoes would allow him to lean much further and obviously raise himself up again. I know that knowing the trick 'spoils the magic' for some folk but I still think it's super impressive he even came up with the shoes and has the strength in his core and legs to lean so far with them and rise up completely straight.
Amazing performance and yeah, live vocals and sounds fantastic.
You are absolutely right. Even if you know about the "shoes", it is absolutely crazy how Michael does the "lean". This is only possible with very good leg and back muscles. Very impressive to watch.
How did hendo the lean in the music video before the shoe trick.. I thought it was always the shoe trick
@@SarahAli-oc8hy Likely wires in the video. If you watch the Smooth Criminal short film look closely at the bottom left guy doing the lean you can just about make out a line above him that moves with him. And when they rise up straight it then cuts to another angle which is likely when wires have been removed and they copy the pose they were in to make it seem like they were continuously dancing. The shoes only came about when Michael decided he absolutely wanted to be able to perform the full lean effect live on stage in front of a live audience and appear totally seamless.
@@e.s.7272 Yeah, he is still absolutely defying gravity with the shoes on, cos most people would just flop down from the waist or even break their ankles because they haven't trained and strengthened the required muscles like he and his back up dancers had done. And yeah, I've never believed magicians perform real magic, what impresses me is the ingenuity and skill that comes from making it APPEAR to be magical. :) Kinda the same with movies, when Jurassic Park first came out in 1993 we all knew dinosaurs didn't actually come back to life but the skill and technology in making them look they had back then was what amazed audiences. :)
I agree. Just having the idea to even attempt a lean like that is amazing in itself - let alone inventing the shoes!
To me, it doesn’t even really spoil it that much because it’s kinda like just using a prop. He still does the move, just with a little something extra. 😍
In the Smooth Criminal short film, he used cables to perform the lean. In the live performances, he used his own patented shoe design that stuck to the floor, allowing him to lean without falling over. He did it perfectly in the 1992 Bucharest performance.
In the Smooth criminal film, he also did it with the bolts in the floor and the shoes (you can see them 'unclicking' their shoes in the music video at 7:07). The cables were only used to make sure nobody hurt themselves on accident.
@@tim3970 Michael's costume designer Michael Bush writes in his book that the shoes were designed later. They did not exist for the short film.
@@e.s.7272 Why are there clearly little bits of metal shining on the floor on the place the feet of the background dancers on the left and right were during the lean then?
@@tim3970 It was wires in the short film. The shoes were created later for the Dangerous tour. They were even patented. Filed in Jun 1992 and fully patented in October 1993. You can look up the patent file info.
@@carn9507 Please explain to me why they are 'sliding' off a certain spot with their shoes in the short film and why there are little bits of shiny metal you can see on the sports they slid over. I'm certain that they did it like that.
If you think this lean was good…just wait until you see it during HIStory world tour
Calm down Seph 😂😂😂.
Thanks again for such a genuine reaction to this absolute king!
Subscribed.
Thank you! And omg it took me until late last night to actually fully calm down 😂
You are too hilarious, the enthusiasm is just beaming of your face!!! I wished you had be at least seen him in concert, do not know what would have happen to you!!???
I have never been to a concert of any kind in my life so i have no comparisons to draw haha
Hahahah 😂😂😂 love it, the screaming is like on point.....😅😅😅 ❤❤❤ you are now officially a crazy michael fan.😅😅😅❤❤ .
5:56 its not quite a lean, that you'll have to wait for his dangerous tours, if I'm correct.❤
The best lean ever tbh ❤
I just have goosebumps everywhere watching your reaction especially when you moved your hat with Michael i was like yaaaay go seph 😂 and actually you think you seen the lean ? its only the beginning wait until you watch dangerous live in Bucharest 1992 you will see another level of lean even more than the music video lean 😉 i think now you are so excited to start dangerous era your body language say it all ❤
He leaned with no special shoes with nails on the floor in this tour. He started doing the lean properly by special shoes and nails on the floor in his dangerous tour 1992-1993 to the HIStory tour 1996-1997
I love your reaction to this so much. I think you’re the only person who actually noticed him doing the lean 😂
It's pretty easy to dismiss to be honest though!
Even the people in the comments say it wasn't an actual *Lean* 😅
Smooth criminal, the greatest music dance choreography in history. People will marvel this for centuries. I remember when you said you liked MJ dance, and I pointed out Smooth Criminal. This is other worldly.
Also give it up to those dancers, to keep up with him, perfection and nothing less, this is what MJ expected!!!
Michael didn't lean during this concert. The first live lean Michael do during Dangerous World Tour in 1992.
Michael, the gift of inspiration in full display commented by the perfect thoughtful descriptor, Seph. I am smiling simply beautiful. God bless.
The special shoes for the "Lean" Michael uses on the Dangerous Tour. Here Michael wears his beloved Loafers shoes, but he can't do the "Lean" with them.
It's so good seeing someone react to seeing MJ like this for the first time... brings back so many memories! I was lucky enough to be at one of the Bad concerts at Wembley... it was truly the most amazing experience of my life! ❤
I am crazy about MJ❤
Seph reaction 😂😂😂😂😂 Amazing reaction
I thoroughly enjoyed your reaction. This is my first time viewing this live performance...so amazing. Loved your excitement, it was contagious 😅
Absolutely phenomenal !
Awww, Seph! What a great reaction, thank you! This is Michael's magic coming at you full force! So exciting that there is still so much to uncover, can't wait for the upcoming videos!
I actually never noticed he did that lean attempt before. He worked out some technical details and it's much better by the Dangerous Tour. Dangerous is my second favorite album, can't wait for you to get to that era.
Yes he's so fantastic live. On top of the amazing singing and dancing, it's almost like you get to hang out with him for a while. The way he could connect with his audience is also amazing.
You won’t believe when he does the anti gravitational step of this dance live on stage other shows.
Oh yeeeeah , smooth criminal performance 🔥🔥🔥 i love looooove it I can't even describe man 🌟🌟
Ok i need to calm down 😅😅
About the lean , yeah seph at this time the shoes technique was not invented by Michael yet, soooo he was doing it by himself here 😍😍without any special effects and this lean was about 75 to 65 degree
and the beginning of the song ( the speaking section) was a part of the song this place hotel in previous tours
The dance technique was so so so rich as it contains the moonwalk, the lean, the attitude of the original song, the jumping walk (that what i called it ) and so many others ❤❤
And with all of this awesomeness in this performance but my favourite best smooth criminal performance is in the next tour so u can imagine the level of perfection of the next era ✨✨ that's why i keep telling u that u have seen nothing yet ....
Oh my god I'm super duper happy right now
Great reaction seph🌹🌹
Can't wait for the next one ❤❤❤
This performance is so lit. He's truly badass. that's the blueprint for what entertainment is all about 🫡💙🌟💫👑🔥
I like how you they picked the best possible dancers out there and still everybody is a tier below him.
5:45 he leaned here as well. He leans 2 times like that all the time on his 1988 bad tour. He also did not peform smooth criminal in 1987 in his bad tour probably Becuase in that year 1987 is when he was making the song and made the music video for his movie moonwalker in 1988. If u don’t know what I mean by bad tour. Bad is the song u heard before and it’s an album too. By the way The bad tour concert is what your watching now
First ❤ so exited to see your reaction to THIS!!
🤩🔥Michael and Seph on fire!🎆 I love how Michael appeared in the stained glass window in your background during the shadow scene 😂 So cool!
Your background is very beautiful, by the way 😀
I do love the feel of this backdrop to be honest 😍
Yeeesssss Sephh, i was waiting for this🔥 You know, Smooth Criminal is my favourite song hahah. So have you rewatched the short film before reacting to this? If yes, have you spotted other dance moves that you hadn't noticed like the 360 circle glide (the one you saw him do for the first time at the Grammys 1988) and the tap dance, both introduced there?
Your excitement is contagious 😂😂
Seph play Jackie Wilson, Lonley Tear Drops, To be Loved and Danny Boy MICHAEL and ELVIS Loved him
AWESOME REACTION
can't wait 'til you get to Smooth on HIStory tour hahahaha ( i think from now on you should start each clip tellin ppl not to spoil with info what will be happening later in his life)
It really does ruin things when people put up spoilers for me :(( But to be fair most of them probably don't know that i'm doing this in chronological order. Spoilers would normally never be a problem to a reactor xD
my mother not only went to see MJ at Wembley but at milton keynes bowl as well pretty sure it was the same year plus she was pregnant with me at the time as well
And I love your enthusiasm!!!
Yey!!! Thanks for the reaction seph! Never thought it would be this early😊😊😊
Loved your reaction, so much pleasure and excitement in it!
This is the first performance where he changes his clothes, he put on the iconic Smooth Criminal white jacket and hat!🔥(he still has the grey jacket on though under the white one if you noticed, same with the trousers, he doesnt have the white trousers like in the short film). And omg, i love the Smooth Criminal choreography🔥
And about that lean, it was a fake one lol. For the Bad Tour, they didnt find a way to do it live yet. They managed to design the stage to do it live from the Dangerous Tour on, the next tour he's done to promote the next album you will listen to, Dangerous. So Seph i cant wait till you get to the Dangerous Tour and the Dangerous Era in general🔥
What Dangerous concert did or would you recommend to Seph?
Alex love your comments you know a lot!
@@e.s.7272 I would say definitely the Bucharest one, it's also on his official channel❤
@@luana45393 What do you think about the Argentina concert? I love Siedah's prank and Michael's reaction.
I wrote a very similar comment 😊 except for the clothes point lol..
Nooooo , i hope bad era would extend until i finish my exams to be completely free while watching the dangerous era ..
I hope u put moooore videos in bad era 😂😂😂😂
And I'm reminding u ( even i know u remember😂😂) to put dangerous 30 documentary from the detail in your list ...
Seph you should buy a Smooth Criminal hat haha. Nono wait, at the end of your Michael journey you're gonna buy all his outfits hahah
And learn all the choreographies too haha
Hahaha once i finish up my MJ journey im probably going to go to visit "Or get as close as possible" to all his homes and filming locations "Money permitting of course" haha
@@SephPlays That will be so cool and emotional i cant waittt haha🔥
He didn’t lean with the shoe and nails in the music video, they used strings. The shoes and nails was later on in the 90s
🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for doing MJ again 🎉
React to dangerous tour and then history tour please
For the ones thinking the shoe trick was not used in the Smooth Criminal music video: you are wrong. The system did exist back then and was used to perform the infamous anti gravity lean.
Do some research before you say something please.
Prefer this one to the Munich one that everyone seems to react to.
I love this, but my favorite is the Bucharest one when the dancer throws the bomb and MJ does the lean, I felt it was perfect. Wasn’t too fond of the Munich one.
@@MAV7REK What about Buenos Aires (Argentina)? I quite like this concert, especially the prank of Siedah. Munich is probably chosen because of the excellent image and sound quality.
@@MAV7REK I dunno the Bad tour MJ was more fluid
Me too!
Did not use cables. Special shoes he has invented for the farther down lean. On this vidio he used nothing. He Patton the shoes
Maybe you have living under a rock, hahaha just kidding!!!
They makes me laugh with their stupidity when they compare the king to other bullshit artist's, he is the best of the best forever
I hate when people talk down MJ :(
