Basically Michael woke up on January 1st 1983 and decided this was the year he would step on everyone necks and not let up for 20 years 😂😂
LMFAOOO right
😆 true
You right he coulda released Thriller back in late 1982 but it seems he took on 1983 by storm since Day one in January!!! The timing is perfect
😹😹😹
Your comment won the internet
1983 was the greatest year for Michael Jackson he definitely took over the world no artist will never do that again
Someone like Micheal and Elvis come around every 50 years.
Wait, why did they started with 1983 instead of 1968? that would've been a great inception towards his career history
@@MrGoodman174 good point 👍
@@oliviajohnjohnolivia8142 Elvis was not bad but Michael Jackson was a worldwide phenomenon
@@erichill3128 thnx
Thrillers impact was so huge we are still feeling it 37 years later. This is unprecedented, this is unheard of.
Since then there was never something like this - culmination of many aspects -
@@platadeluna imagine 83 there was youtube insta... OMG
imagine 83 there was youtube insta... OMG
you can say that again!!
Don't say it too loud the media and MJ haters won't like that
Michael Jackson basically broke the world in 1983. The most popular human being that’s ever existed in 1983.
Lol he’s a pedophile
I wish I was alive in the 80s to see him back then 😩
Justyna Jakacki Samee 😔
I was alive but I was 5yrs old in 1983, I remember watching the Motown special on TV & Billie Jean for the first time. It was magical!!!!!
It would be nice to have been born a few years earlier, as BAD era was my first MJ at 8 years old. But I didn't have cool parents that would take me to concerts. And Thriller era Michael is just so sweet, I wish I had personal memories of seeing him on tv in that time but I don't remember him at all.
I'm 57 still this man is my all time favorite, I grew up with the Jackson 5 and Michael, blessed to have seen him in concert 5 times, the Bad tour was the last concert I attended in Atlanta GA .....simply the best of times to have been in your 20's!!!!
It was magical.
When michael said "I'm now starting to enjoy friendship which is new for me" that hit me and that's sad knowing and learning that he was really never happy in his younger days
Theo Tingz 😞🥺
But later he would be lonely his whole life and depressed.
I remember this year clearly!!! It was just like that. Month after month Michael was in the news. He was everywhere. To a black kid, growing up at that time, that meant everything to me
How old were you?
@@abirmohamed8343 9
Comming from Va in 84 and moving to NY at that point in history. Unbelievable!!! 😎
Can you explain to me how the album was released, and then the songs came out after??? What did people buy if not all the songs came out?? Cause I see that Billie Jean came out in January 83 but according to websites the album came out 1982…what did people get if they bought it in 82??
@@nahumyehdego8612 thriller was released during Christmas time in 82. First single was girl is mine. Followed by billie Jean
Still find it hard to believe that Thriller immediately became the best selling album of ALL-TIME that year, he was truly the man in 1983-1984.
No he was the man of the 80s period.
Paul Gilbert yea the only competition he had was Prince
He had the record before and broke his own record with thriller.... amazing
People will never understand how hard that is for an album to become the best selling album of all-time in the year it's released.
@@nomibe2911 Further Proof that MJ is the greatest
Quite possibly the greatest year of his career. His ascent to the top of the musical world was incredible.
Kind of hard to believe 83’ was 37 years ago
Yeaah, it still feels like it was 20 something years ago to me.
Damn , knowing that I was alive is scary
Time goes by so fast. Especially the last 10 years.
Do 1983+37 see? Equals 2020. Damn
Michael Jacksons Biggest Fan I was more saying it like time goes by real fast
He worked really hard to be what he was, the legend !
You mean he is........!
I can’t believe he released all those songs in one year, with a music video for half of them. It wasn’t just “his year” that’s a lot of hard work.
I admire 50 cent for that too. Shot music videos for his album. His debut one I think.
@@charlie6909heck ya in 2003 & in 2005 Massacre album videos
Imagine if he would've did a video for pyt 🔥
I'm a heavy metal kinda guy, but there was never a musician-showman artist like Michael Jackson. He was a musical magician...
This takes me back to a fun time being a teenager, I already purchased "Thriller" on December 2, 1982, already wore it out around Christmas 1982 and wore it out some more throughout 1983 & 84. Watched the Motown 25th Anniversary Special with my grandmother, after the MJ performance my cousin called me and scream into my ear. Everyone in school talked about the next day which was a Friday. I also bought the Police album, "Flashdance" soundtrack, Prince's "1999" album Eddy Grant, Culture Club, Thomas Dolby and others. Cable TV arrived at my home around August 1983 and MTV stayed on almost 24/7 with the exception of HBO & Showtime. Then around December 1983, I arrived home from school, turned on MTV & watch the premiere of the video "Thriller" on a Friday. Watch it throughout the weekend and on Monday everyone was talking about it in school.
Man those were the best times ever. I feel sorry for kids not experiencing great artists & MTV like we did in the 80's. I miss those days.
I know what you mean i experienced Michael mannia as a teen in 83' & it was surreal yet exciting!!!! Woooo!!! Sha-mone!!!!😆👍
Amen to what you said yes the people that was not around to witness 1983 and 1984 they miss something truly special but I remember after the Motown 25 the next day in school it was a Michael Jackson craze going on it was hard to get class started when everybody was talking about the Motown 25 special Michael Jackson was the man!!!!
must be nice
I’d kill to have been born in the 60s so I could’ve experienced the 80s 😭😭😭.
@Chuck Haggert yes indeed! 😊👍
"I can't be hurt on stage." What a sad truth that was.
That was proven wrong in 1984.
@@frankstrawnation technically…not really 😬
@@frankstrawnation 💀
@@frankstrawnationthat was a staged stage😂
I would've given anything to have seen this man at his height/prime. Had whole industry shook and set the bar extremely high from that point on. All it took was _one_ album and _three_ videos. You'll never see that level of impact ever again.
Y'all should keep doing these for every era if possible!
Yeah the 'Bad" era is definitely in need of one. 1987 was the year of his long awaited and triumphant returns. He instantly went from superstar to megastar.
@Thriller82 J fair enough. 😊
@@nuwavegurl he wass already a megastar thankss to 83 ..87 michael was a beast but he couldnt touch himself in 83 as in he never reached same height but was still way above the rest of the world.till this day no one has sold more albums than 83's thriller
He will forever be a megastar 😎
AGREE
I wish I grew up in the 80s
The eighties were some of the best years of my Life thus far! MJ in concert,what an amazing entertainer
I tell my niece that every time that, 1983, of Michael Jackson was a thriller it was causing Mass Hysteria sorry you miss that time
Don't want to rub it in Miles but those were amazing times, an awesome era.
I was a teen in the 80s thriller was huge.
Right I was born in 87 so grew in the 90s which were pretty great but I think the 80s were the decade ever.
Hang with me on this, people. I just turned 40 Oct. 7th and I have ALWAYS been a MJ fan. My hero, he was... is. As a black man, it really makes me feel good to see people loving and showing appreciation for this man. The year, 1983 was a life changer for so many people. I am one of them. The video Thriller stayed playing in my house. That vhs tape played about 30 times a day. I ran the tv. Lol. I grew up watching people love this man to joking and hating him. There wasn't a week that went by that I wasn't fist fighting with dudes defending him. 2005 was the scariest year of my life, but then turned to one of the greatest after he was found NOT GUILTY. 2009 is a year I'll never forget. Fast forward to today... this video brought back memories of a happier time for me and for the first time (since I was 13 years old) I cried like a baby watching this. When it got to the Thriller video, I had to stop the video and walk away from my pc. It finally hit me! He's gone. The happiness, the magic is gone. I finally got myself together to finish this well put together of footage and facts from that year. This video helped me release what I have held in since 2009. Thank you, THE DETAIL. Great video! Much love and loyalty to all the MJ fans.
Wow man I wish I was born in the 80s you're so lucky
@@spicychickensandwich84 Yea.... the 80's were great.
that was beautiful
Wow! What a story you've just told. Thank you! MJ forever! ❤
awesome and yeah so true
It's insane how huge Thriller was.
Was?
He knew that he was the 'chosen one', yet the media still trashed his name.
Long Live King of Pop Michael Jackson 🙌🏾🔥
Michael owned 1983. It was the YEAR OF THE THRILLER. Nothing was ever the same after that. And after his motown 25 performance it went nuclear.
We'll never see one artist dominate a year in music like this. He was on all the charts.
Cross over into many audiences, races, old, young...Thriller changed music. Threw the old notion that black artists couldn't sell
With bootleggers and decline in music quality not to mention the hype over talent we'll never see this kind of success ever again
With the exception of Bobby brown 1989' and 50 cents 2003
Don't forget about Prince in 84 with Purple Rain. Because he pretty much did the same thing
Truth
Elvis Presley in '56? The Beatles in '64?
I was a little kid back then and what a great year it was back then for Michael ! Love him always and forever ! He's the greatest !
1983 was a magical year. I remember watching Michael unveil the moonwalk and everyone was talking about it the next day. If the internet was around then, he'd have broken it. He was unstoppable back then 🥰❤❤❤
That's FACTS👏🏿👏🏿OMG INSTAGRAM AND FACEBOOK would have been on it..everyone page will be the Motown 25
Ironically when he died he crashed Amazon, iTunes and UA-cam
Album released late 1982, circulation 1983, and then 1984 had the awards that followed lol. Power packed trio if you ask me.
Era ended 1985
one word: ICONIC
Right on there
Thriller was selling out in stores like Toilet paper and Lysol. What a time. I am becoming a MJ stan. Tremendous channel thanks for putting it 1983 and 1984 in a timeline. Amazing. Cant say it enough.
MJ at his absolute peak. ´83 Michael is like '87 Prince, or '76 Stevie (or '92 Michael Jordan if we're talking about sports) : the closest thing to perfection. Gosh I miss those days so much
Prince in '84?
@MrJon76 yeah Prince in '84 (Purple Rain era), but Prince's creativity peak is '87 (Sign O' the times album). But I agree I should have said 84´ Prince, his mainstream peak
@@Tom-rh5ns Michael had several peaks throughout his career! He's the most successful entertainer of all time! '83 was like a highlight reel!
Didn't prince peak in '84?
Thriller is the best era of Michael Jackson!
So true.
I Was 11 Years Old Back Then
So Of Course I Was Swept In The Wave!!
But One Thing People Tend Forget
Is That Michael Was ALREADY
A Phenomenon BEFORE THRILLER!!!
I was borne in 83. Always was proud that it was one of the best years in MJs career! Thank you for remainding me this
Me too！Σ（￣□￣;）
I like his humility, I also want the Red jacket from "Beat it".
Who doesn't
@@paulgilbert5278 my Senior year of highschool in 99 my brother surprised me and got me the black and white beat it coat(that he wore in the Pepsi commercial with Alfonso Roberio) for my birthday it was a great moment for me and him
Michael Jackson’s greatest year
🇩🇿In 1983 the world was suspended on Michael Jackson’s breath....The chemistry of the Magic voice , rythm, dance, lyrics, vidéos, the look.... He was and will be always phenomenal . Thank you for your love and the joy that you spread all over the planet and beyond....
I remember 83' vividly! It so much star power in the air. Madonna and Prince, along with Michael ❤️ was at the top of their careers around that time. I remember sitting in front of the television and watching all of these great artist and timeless videos/short films on MTV back in the day. Growing up in the 80s was a fun and magical experience for me. 🤗
Yeah same for me I was in jr high music back then was great can't say being a teen was first me though it was an awkward and lonely time being bullied but the music kept me going through
AMEN, Bro. I was only five in '83 but believe it or not, I remember all of the things you mentioned. This may sound sacrilegious and I do recognize there's only one God, but MJ and Prince were like my Lord & Savior respectively throughout my life, even now. Their gifts got me through some really dark and tough times. Madonna is a legend, too and deserves everything she's gotten, but for me...MJ & P- Man 4eva!
DAMN! I envy you for having experienced that era.
@@eph_loves_80s74 I said nothing about either one of their hair, but apparently you need a haircut because of COVID, so hair is all you can think about.
@@eph_loves_80s74 You assume too much. And totally incorrectly, I might add.
MJ doing thriller dont know that he is creating masterpiece ahead of its time. Cant believe its 37 years ago yet his song live till today.
He ran the 80s👏periodt
Never seen the Motown 25 rehearsal clips. That was dope!!!
The footage was included on the Motown 25 DVD set that came out a few years ago.
@@columbia81 oh that's wassup. I need to buy a copy. Good looking out man😊
@@alanhumphrey6613 just a heads-up, what you saw in the video here is the same on the DVD. Just two brief clips.
@@columbia81 oh ok. I though the DVD will have a lengthy version of the clips shown on here. Cool man. Thanks again 😊
Out of boredom a few years ago, I wanted to make a playlist for every year mj was in the public, doing anything exciting. This video is definitely way better than all those playlists combined! 🤣👏🏼👏🏼
What's up Michael Jackson
👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹
Happiest year of his life.
The album Thriller will always be the best Michael Jackson album in my opinion
Bad is his best record IMO
He put his blood and sweat into that album
But isn't it the number 1 record in world
Every MJ ALBUM is Special to me. Each Have Different Sounds, Qualities & Experience From off the wall to Invincible .
@@iJeffChiefsKing . .
Wow i remember ALL OF THIS. Everyone talked about him in a GREAT LIGHT then. What a year.
The 80s were brilliant MJ dominated loved it
Michael was so handsome!
Crazy how he had lupus and still had athletic energy! BOSS!
Michael was such a unique talent.
We’ll never see anyone like him! ❤️
I wish i could time travel so that I can see or watch him live . He is so super talented. ❤❤❤ I really love his music.
you could have warned him...lol
I wish I can travel back in time and make thriller before he did and see if it has the same effect lol.
@@reduXstereo well maybe haha.
Thanks for sharing back then Michael Jackson was very young and he knew actually what he wanted and the direction he wanted to go. Very young and a excellent dancer singer.. One of a kind a legend I believe no one will ever replace Michael Jackson. 🌹🌹🌻🌻🌻🌻
I can listen to Michael speak all night long , beautiful and humble man 💋❤️💙
That's what I wanted to say 😊😊😊❤❤ Oh my God 😊😊😊❤❤💯💯
I love this idea for an episode! I would like to see every year of Michael's career presented this way! There would be enough material to keep this channel going for years :)
Great job the detail.! And thank you for it :)
I love how you juxtapose the Happy New Year of 1983 to Mike officially releasing Billie Jean the next day. What a boss.
My 2nd favorite era 🤩🤩😍😍🤗🤗😘😘😘😘. Infact, all era's are outta this world 😎😎.
I really like Human Nature. One of my favorite MJ songs. I've been a fan since I was 5, and I'm 42 now.
he was sooo handsome in 83
Soli Nekahiwot the surgery was a huge mistake
@@nateowen1064 it wasn't his choice. Health, vitiligo, lupus all played a part. All Michael did was alter his chin and nose.
I still love MJ all of him til the last days. But i love the years before the controversy.
@@steelstreet3765 everyone does. I don't know who would love it other than a sick person.
@@batmanarkhamvengeancetm6358 you ever go to his concerts? Or done any fan events? I never saw him in person but have gone to MJ events since 2009. I have met people who seem him in tours etc.
Exellent video. I like vintage media and music from 80s.
This is a great video !!! Look forward to more of videos like these !!! Can’t wait for 1984 !
His best year in terms of musical success. And the 80’s his best decade
I never knew there were behind the scenes photos/footage of the Motown performance. That's so dope. Where did you find them?
The footage was included on the Motown 25 DVD set that came out a few years ago.
Billie Jean
Beat It
Wanna Be Starting' Somethin'
Thriller
Human Nature
Baby be Mine
PYT
The Lady in my Life
The Girl is Mine
That's pretty much my personal ranking of the Thriller album.
I rank Lady In My Life higher
@@OldNudy exactly... That song is such an underrated classic
OMG!
It's exactly as same as mine!!
how would you rank other MJ albums' as well?
Good.
THE DETAIL!!! I don't subscribe to many, but I subscribe to you. This footage is amazing and some incredibly rare. Thank you for sharing more MJ moments and your great videos! 🙏❤️🎶
they're showing clips thats been on youtube for ages
Do more reviews on years In Michael's life.
Love it
Wow, what a year! And not only the successes, the looks, everything!
I love Michael Jackson he was the best wow 1983 40 years ago this aired
5:21 first time seeing this footage.
Omg me too! I love seeing him in rehearsals 😍😍😍
Same
I was born in 1982 two months before Thriller came out
I didn’t see the James Brown Concert where MJ & Prince attended and made on stage appearances in 83
It was there but taken out due to copyright issues
What month and day was it
Aramiyun Staley New Years Eve 1983.....Dec 31 1983
STFANS' STF really wow thank you I will sub
And just like any "high" or climax I think that's what 1983 was for MJ. "The king on hill can only go down or stay up."
Videos like this is a reminder (for people my age or, older) of the ‘Golden Age’ of early to mid-80’s! I feel TRULY fortunate to have lived, witnessed and participated in such a magnificent time known as, “The era of Michael Jackson!” For those of you too young to remember or, not born yet...., you have my sympathy!! These videos are great but, they’ll NEVER capture the electricity in the air that Michael exuded!! I remember playing outdoors with cousins, then hearing my Mom yell, “Michael’s Pepsi commercial is on!!” In the house I’d run, only to catch a small scene. I was SO disappointed although, I’d seen the commercial about 80 times before.
You sound like me..anything MJ I was on it
And the mind-blowing fact is... It's been 38 years of its releases and even the digital platform could not beat the records set by the "thriller".
That year changed everything for MJ but also the music industry and Pop artistry in general. Those who remember it must've been bowled over by all the greatness they were seeing.
The greatest to ever do it and the greatest that ever will do it.
You truly do an incredible job with documenting the history in these videos. You have very clean edits and a particular, consistent flow that makes everything thing feel adventurous. Keep up the good work!
The way he did tht glide was so magical
Now I do LOVE this & hope for more like these in other years like 1987, 1988, & other best years of MJ's, maybe even 1979!
Thanks so much. Being a fan from 1984-1996 and then 2018-... there's so much I haven't seen, especially considering I belong to an era where there was no Internet, cell phones and we have to rely on TV, mags and radio shows. To top it, I don't live in the US where every single day there were news about Michael. Those days were a real trial for us fans waiting for Thriller's follow-up, and then Bad's follow-up, and so on. Great, great memories. Really helpful for my fan fic, too. Greetings from Argentina.
@J Crash That's right. Waiting for Bad proved nerve-racking, especially living in a country where little news from him were shown. Americans was very fortunate because all the time they had info about Michael: We Are The World, Captain Eo and whatever he did, though he was quiet reclusive during those years. We had to rely on some lines in newspapers or music mags. And then until the 1993 allegations it was the greatest era ever. Michael was hotter and hotter. I just can't believe what happened and how from mid 1993 things went downhill for our poor Michael. He didn't deserve to suffer that way...
Such a soft voice...but so powerful when he sings.
MJ pulled up to the Dream Girls play with the beat it jacket on. Lol
Great to see this month to month account of an important year in Michael's life!
I love this channel and yours as well girl🤗
@@mocancer8485 thank you so much!❤🤗
These year in reviews are so cool. Thank you for creating these!
Michael Jackson 🇺🇸🇺🇸👑⭐⭐⭐⭐🗽
Its been awesome year for Michael today is 38 years since he release Thriller.Its been a huge best selling album WW.
This is a great video!! One of my favourite so far! Really good to see it all summarised like this. I hope you make more for other pivotal years for all the eras.
I felt the could have been just slightly faster and full screen images makes it hard to read subtitles.
I remember these days. Thanks for this. I was already a huge MJ fan before 1983, and 1983 turned me from fan to fanatic. I remained a fanatic through the BAD album, then after that I went back to fan, and I'll always be there.
thank u for putting his interview in!!!👍🏻👍🏻and ofc this whole thing!!
what a time to be alive. I wish i lived the 80s.
this has got to be THE BEST VIDEO On this channel so far! im amazed at THE DETAILS in this video i found so much out! PLEASE do the 1987 follow up PLEASE
I want to go to this year!!! Michael is literally on top of the world!
MICHAEL JACKSON HIS MUSIC 🎶 WILL LIVE FOREVER 👏
Please please please do 1984!
Excellent work here, nicely done! I was in Junior High at the time and seeing all of this in sequence really brought back memories. Thanks!
This was EVERYTHING..THANKS
I love all of his music sooo much R.I.P Michael Jackson king of Pop ✨
The footage of him at Disneyworld walking around, posing with fans so carefree and undisturbed is nice to see since he would soon become too famous and create hysteria and mob scenes if he went anywhere in public.
Wow I think this is your best video yet! What an incredible way to lay out Michael Jackson's peak in fame, how he got there and how it impacted the world. You should really do more year-in-review type videos like this one. So informative, insightful, entertaining etc. It would be so cool if you laid out every year of his life lol but I know that's asking too much.
You really did it with this one @Thedetail, I applaud you, this was soooo epic & it really made my day, Thank you for this❤️
Michael Jackson in 1983...
I don't think anyone in recent history had a better year honestly
Thank you for this video!!! And also thank you for not letting this be a voiceover lol
These reviews are great! Thank you so much.
I love how he always mentions those who influences him but Michael was sooo much more talented than those that influenced him
