MJ's dance technique is unparalleled. MJ is on another planet overall. Not only was his technique incredible, but he had an unparalleled grace and fluidity that made him seem to effortlessly float on air. He had a presence never before seen & never since or will be equalled not to mention his singing is unmatched. He's the greatest singer & dancer of all time! He truly was ahead of his time🙆🏽♂️🙌🏽👑💖🔥🌟(Please React to Michael Jackson Full 1991 MTV 10th Anniversary Performance it is his first performance since the release of his Album Dangerous it’s amazing! To me the thrusting isn’t weird cause like MJ said it’s a form of expression he’s not intentionally doing anything provocative at all so it’s just others who have dirty minds not Michael Jackson...)
@@mrpussinboots4252 he did sing live MULTIPLE TIMES and even on this show in Munich and danced like no one else. When you dance like him, you cannot sing. This man wouldn’t stand still for a second when he went on stage. Imagine dancing so heavily til you’re outta breath. You cannot sing while dancing on the level Michael Jackson danced for hours straight.
Also, his drummer - Sugarfoot Moffett - is an absolute beast. Puts most metronomes to shame, and with a phenomenal amount of groove and oomph built into it. A big part of what made Jackson’s gigs what they were was his ability to assemble a crew that were almost as good at what they did as he was.
Michael had practiced every new performance again and again and again, until every finger, every look, was in right place, he was a perfectionist in every part of his music.
If you wonder why Michael used playback more often in the history tour it was because he suffered from laryngitis and other health issues. It’s a wonder that Michael kept going but we all know that he sang since the age of 5 so he don’t have to prove anything to anyone
Comparing the live in South Africa with the live in Munich and Copenhagen, I think his voice is a little low.The Dangerous Tour and Bad Tour should have been the best voices for Michael.
@@CaptainJadenAR well for the Royal Brunei concert which was 1996 a lot of that was live some playback to me that is the best it's like having dangerous and history tour all-in-one was not a big fan of the history tour only because it was mostly playback but his dancing was amazing during that tour
As a guitar player I notice many singers have poor timing - they cant count the beats. MJ has impeccable timing and a sense of where he is in the musical phrase. Everything he does exudes rhythm and timing. its the foundation upon which he builds his performance. Pitch (and MJ is always right on with pitch) is one aspect of his performance, MJ is all about theater.
@@paul-Ess During Destiny his vocals were almost identical to the studio album. In my opinion 1979-81 is the peak of Michael’a Live Vocal ability. Have a listen of one of the songs and compare to the studio album.
Michael Jackson a true legend!! Sad he had so many health problems. Known dancers of his said that even in between he sometimes had to take in extra oxygen because of his long problems. Lupus I think it was? And with that he had to dance, sing, and everything around it pfff. (and of course his back problems later on as well because of a fall with a crane during a performance)
That crane fall was insane, yeah. Watching the video of it again and the way it slams the bridge down onto the stage hard and yet he kept on performing the song. The shock to his spine must have been immense but 'show must go on' apparently. After the show I think he got taken to hospital because of course.
He's the best entertainer music has ever seen, his combination voice,dance,song writing,videos,live shows and charisma are rarely seen he's one of a kind.
i saw a reaction from someone who does production. apparently there are some tracks of micheael jackson that are available without mixing, and you can hear all the vocal tracks individually. it's extremely impressive.
i find it so incredible that he could sing so will while still having to dance and run on the stage. must have been so hard for him to breath, such dedication R.I.P MJ
Great reaction! I saw him and his brothers at the second stop of The Victory Tour in Kansas City. My girlfriend won a lottery and got us 4 seats Front row, just the right of center stage. He/they were amazing. The place was packed it was like one big party. My friend who only liked Metal joined us and after the 3rd song, he was like this is great I am so glad I came. If you watch the This is it movie, the rehearsals, he is looking at everything, listening to it all, over and over looking for perfection. It is watching a performer trying to eliminate errors. He is trying to save his voice at one point and the dancers and performers are all off the stage and he is singing to a playback and they are all clapping and dancing and he starts to raise his volume and do the entire part of the dancing, and he finishes and playfully tells them to not do that to him. He was a born performer, he just couldn't help himself.
As good a singer as Michael was, it was his dancing that really made him unique and in a league of his own. I had not seen this video before and it really highlights his dancing style.
People who’ve worked with him say he was an amazing person and artist to work with because of his precision, he always had a precise vision and knew exactly what to do.
Such a shame that controversy has marred the reputation of a genius. He was exceptional. I feel sorry for the life he was put through in order to create such masterful art.
@@mrpussinboots4252 you just like to make up shit without any evidence. If theres one place where i dont take peoples statements at face value its a random youtube comment from someone who is clearly biased.
That man became the embodiment of the music. His singing and dancing were both on such a next level and he combined it into magnificent performances. Lets also not forget that he also wrote songs and produced music as well.
He did an excellent job on man in the mirror live... Michael had an amazing singing voice... The voice he used in public differed from his everyday voice too...
Music is about getting an emotional response. This performance shows how you do that. The lead up builds anticipation. The dance is also a visual message, then comes the singing!
There have several analyses which examine the “between” sounds and how they were actually part of his internal time-keeping and beat-counting. Truly one of a kind. He will be imitated, but never really going to be anyone like him ever again.
if this song was released today, it wouldn't sound dated at all. I don't know any song that has that ageless quality. I bet 20 years from now it will stay have that quality
To truly understand Michael vocal effects, yells, movements and style you have to study his greatest inspiration James Brown. That’s coming for Michael who presented James Brown with the lifetime achievement award.
He's simply the best on the stage ever. Professional dancers look so so with him in front of them. His LIVE vocals while doing serious cardio routines for 2 hours are insane. Harmonizers? LOL...Michael never needed one all the while dancing like a madman on stage. One of a kind, for sure.
I'm old, and MJ was just a few years older than I was. In 2nd grade I had a huge crush on him (yikes!). His voice was amazing as a child, but it was almost too slick. When he was an adult, he managed to roughen up the edges. Which ironically shows that he was even more slick as an adult than he was as a child, because he still managed to be so precise.
Barry Gibb and Michael were very good friends. In fact, Michael has said that the Saturday Night Fever album inspired him to make his Thriller album. Michael truly is a musical genius and no one dances like him!
Love the fact you mentioned how his glove was originally there to cover up, a problem but became such a staple. you wouldn't see a MJ act now without the glove thats for sure.

@@bluesfingers1 agreed, she definitely needs to react to Angelina's version of this song - but fyi she has already reacted to Angelina's Bohemian Rhapsody. 🙂
@@petersteenjensen1362 Thank you Peter. Yes I listened to her last year and she was truly amazed and impressed but I have been unable to get Beth to visit Angelina again and as you well know Beth scratched the tip of a humongous iceberg. Here is to hoping she trys to scratch a little deeper. I am subscribed to over 300 channels and almost all are me following someone's journey down the Angelina Jordan Rabbit Hole.
Michael Jackson was one in a million with his art style on the the stage and in his song texts and he will always be the king of pop no matter what i think and i grew up with him on his high point like the hystorie world tour i saw it on television at that time and it was really incredible still thinking of it gives me goosebumps
This is hands down one of the best analysis of the King I have ever seen. Dude was on a WHOOOOOLE other level. I pray we see another artist as gifted and trained as him. Then again I don't, it was his downfall. RIP KING
Damn girl. I absolutely love that you've taken the stance that it's more important to applaud the societal contributions of an artist rather than focus on their transgressions. Especially in today's cancel culture, I truly applaud you for taking a stand based on a lifetime of art rather than a period of sickness. Good for you Beth. Keep doing you girl. Mad love.
This was truly an engaging reaction to watch, first time I watched this channel, your energy is so positive and you are sharp! You should definitely check out the 1988 version of Billie Jean from Bad Tour. That was MJs true prime both when it comes to singing and dancing!
MJ is the best performer of all time at least that we have footage of but I've to say your reaction was also on point ! We already knew he was great and "oh my god, he did the moonwalk" but you truly added insights as to being oneself with your voice and owning the moment ! A like and sub for sure.
You gotta love a performer who feels their own music, and Michael was a fine example of that. You could tell how much he enjoyed what he was doing by the care and precision he put into it, the perfect tempo he kept in his dancing, the light it turned on in his face.
Keeping in the Michael Jackson and Christmas theme, check out 11-12 year old Michael Jackson on the Jackson 5's Christmas album "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" That kid had pipes
I havent seen this commented about very much, but his impeccable vocals, his unparalleled dance moves Are Amazing in their own right. However, the fact that he is able to move like that and expend energy, and still have studio quality vocals while moving....I haven't seen anyone else do that ever
I was getting a tour at a Motown museum in Detroit and was a bit tired and leaning lightly against a display case. The tour guide was pointing out some different items on display, some of which were pretty impressive. Then she pointed to the case behind me, and inside was Michael Jackson's glove. Needless to say, I nearly needed a change of underwear.
"Billie Jean" is so iconic, it's a classic. Michael's legwork is so amazing! I think it was his breakthrough performance as a solo artist. He was and will ever be the King of Pop!
Me: Gosh today I was so productive, I did clean the dishes *and* did laundry Beth: Produces 3 amazing new reaction videos, an educational video, goes hiking in scotland, and forges Saurons ring. Before noon. I have no idea how u can be so productive, but you're amazing 🤩
I love how it doesn’t matter who you are no matter where you are on the planet, when Michael Jackson comes on, EVERYONE gets down to it. That should show you the impact his music has.
In 1983, Michael Jackson lip synced his way through “Billi Jean” during a Motown anniversary special on television. His performance of the song was still so great, no one seemed to care he wasn’t really singing.
"I think the '80's were a decade of showmen". From day one Michael was a showman of the highest order, from the 60's right through to his tragic last day. His mere presence elevated every one, and everything around him. At once consumed in majesty, and tragedy. But always, people wanted to pry back the door. To consume more. Thank you for lifting the lid, and giving a solid critical look at this one aspect of a complex genius. And happy holidays!
Fun fact, Michael was actually extremely disappointed in his Motown 25 performance. He was planning on hitting the toe stand, holding it and then finishing the performance. But continuing helped develop the rest of the choreography for the song in years to come.
This song and smooth criminal were my favourite songs and still are. like literally rip michael rn no one makes music like you but we still have your masterpieces
You know one is an icon when people can't seem to get enough of him even when his gone.. She literally clapped for him at the end that speaks volumes of what MJ was all about
An ICON, the greatest entertainer ever that walked the earth, a perfectionist, his performance was effortless, miss you so much 😢RIP 🎵 🎶 your music will live forever 🎵 🎶 ♥️ 💕 💖 ❤️ 🎵 🎶
I think the only performer who could even hope to compare to MJ with respect to crowd control and sheer entertainment levels/ showmanship would be Freddie Mercury. The two greatest ever in my opinion.
It was very interesting to hear what you had to say about MJ’s self-confidence. The work that he he had to do was remarkable. To be on point every moment in a long song is something few people could do. On a different note, could you give us a lesson about Tom Waits’ performance? Ty
When a of a high caliber as Michael Jackson, it does not matter how unusual or weird he is but he is a genius. He influenced so many and his music will live on.
I don't think he's weird per say but you have to remember he no childhood at all he spent his life on the road and add that to the abuse he suffered is it any wonder he felt uncomfortable in his own skin
@@shronazam276 yes I know this both conditions are awful and that one of the reasons he began bleaching his skin. My theory on the nose job was his. Nose and face reminded him of his father and therefore the abuse he suffered at the hands of his father. No wonder why he wanted to change it.
The performer becomes one with the performance. Michael Jackson was a great singer and dancer but most of all he was that rare thing: a performer. From the first time I heard him on the radio when he was a baby at Motown I could hear his greatness. I hadn't seen him live cause this was in the late 60's before video but I just said to myself this guy is the future of music.
@@eyeamrandy70 yeah especially with a voice as good as his, but it's understandable given how hard it is to sing and dance at the same time, he's only human at the end of the day.
The song wasn't based on anything Michael himself went through but his brothers constantly had groupies over and they often came back claiming that the children they bared were fathered by one of his brothers.
No matter how much time passes, Michael Jackson is and will remain the King of Pop.
+1 he is king
Jesus loves you

Always the king forever facts ❤❤
No, he was and if he were still alive then he would be but since he's dead he isn't anymore, Ed Sheeran on the other hand

I love how it doesn’t matter who you are no matter where you are on the planet, when Michael Jackson comes on, EVERYONE gets down to it. That should show you the impact his music has.
Taken back to a time when he was singing live. I've seen a lot of videos from later days, when it was all playback. RIP Michael, never forgotten!
History tour almost entirely playback, for health reasons. A bad tour is probably his peak of singing and dancing at the same time.

He had lung problems
It was cause he had Is Larry jitis
In 1983, Michael Jackson lip synced his way through “Billi Jean” during a Motown anniversary special on television. His performance of the song was still so great, no one seemed to care he wasn’t really singing.
"I think the '80's were a decade of showmen". From day one Michael was a showman of the highest order, from the 60's right through to his tragic last day. His mere presence elevated every one, and everything around him. At once consumed in majesty, and tragedy. But always, people wanted to pry back the door. To consume more. Thank you for lifting the lid, and giving a solid critical look at this one aspect of a complex genius. And happy holidays!
Watching Michael Jackson always makes me want to go watch Bob Fosse. Especially the scene in Little Prince.
Spot on! It's just another day for the King at work...
Fun fact, Michael was actually extremely disappointed in his Motown 25 performance. He was planning on hitting the toe stand, holding it and then finishing the performance. But continuing helped develop the rest of the choreography for the song in years to come.
It was playback, so it wasn’t supposed to end after the toe stand. He was disappointed with it though
This song and smooth criminal were my favourite songs and still are. like literally rip michael rn no one makes music like you but we still have your masterpieces
Yes that s what the glove was actually for. He also had Lupus. He went though alot of trauma medically and mentally.
Mjj forever 🤴🏽🤟🏽
Um that's a lie.
@@TheNaturalGamer1 What’s a lie? It’s true
@@TheNaturalGamer1 literally in his autopsy. Vitiligo and discoid lupus.
You know one is an icon when people can't seem to get enough of him even when his gone.. She literally clapped for him at the end that speaks volumes of what MJ was all about
Michael Jackson's live performances in the 80s and 90s were legendary. Yes, he made great music, but he also made dancing fucking cool.
Dont complicate it,MICHAEL JOSEPH JACKSON,WAS,IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE AN ICONIC LEGEND PERIOD
Uuuuu yeah BABBY!!! Hail the King of Pop.
Michael Jackson forever ♥️♥️
I am only here because there is Michael Jackson😂❤love you MJ
An ICON, the greatest entertainer ever that walked the earth, a perfectionist, his performance was effortless, miss you so much 😢RIP 🎵 🎶 your music will live forever 🎵 🎶 ♥️ 💕 💖 ❤️ 🎵 🎶
I think the only performer who could even hope to compare to MJ with respect to crowd control and sheer entertainment levels/ showmanship would be Freddie Mercury. The two greatest ever in my opinion.
I agree!! No one can top them both. 💕
Note: MJ said in a very young age in an interview that he would never sing a song the he never means it.. So the expressions beautifully
It was very interesting to hear what you had to say about MJ’s self-confidence. The work that he he had to do was remarkable. To be on point every moment in a long song is something few people could do. On a different note, could you give us a lesson about Tom Waits’ performance? Ty
MJ IS FOREVER THE KING!!!
When a of a high caliber as Michael Jackson, it does not matter how unusual or weird he is but he is a genius. He influenced so many and his music will live on.
Weird?? Why
I don't think he's weird per say but you have to remember he no childhood at all he spent his life on the road and add that to the abuse he suffered is it any wonder he felt uncomfortable in his own skin
@@DanielSmith-pq4yc he had vitiligo and lupus.
@@shronazam276 yes I know this both conditions are awful and that one of the reasons he began bleaching his skin. My theory on the nose job was his. Nose and face reminded him of his father and therefore the abuse he suffered at the hands of his father. No wonder why he wanted to change it.
The performer becomes one with the performance. Michael Jackson was a great singer and dancer but most of all he was that rare thing: a performer. From the first time I heard him on the radio when he was a baby at Motown I could hear his greatness. I hadn't seen him live cause this was in the late 60's before video but I just said to myself this guy is the future of music.
Technically this is mostly lip synced so I wouldn't really call it live, but still incredible nonetheless.
I was wondering when she will realize it 😄
MJ lip synced a lot. He was entertaining but that always bugged me.
@@eyeamrandy70 yeah especially with a voice as good as his, but it's understandable given how hard it is to sing and dance at the same time, he's only human at the end of the day.
@@eyeamrandy70 he didn’t lipsync his whole career you forgetting about the bad victory destiny and triumph tours?
He was everythingggg!!!! EV-ER-EY-THINGGGGG
On stage He never crossed any lines. He defined the lines for others to follow.
I love his music, his dance moves.
The song wasn't based on anything Michael himself went through but his brothers constantly had groupies over and they often came back claiming that the children they bared were fathered by one of his brothers.
There was a girl named Billy Jean who claim that Michael was the father of one of her twins🤦♀️
@@shronazam276Lavon only did that after the song came out and I'm 75% sure Michael can't see into the future.
I love how there is a real band playing there live along with him, also I loved how you mentioned the Buddy Holly reference!!
Awesome song, awesome performance. 100% playback on vocals tho.. as other suggest, please react to a 1988 performance .
Best wishes
Not really 100%, as it clearly changes to live vocals shortly after the moonwalk.
Lovin' the bass on this song, never realized how much it MADE his sound, call it souloing!
A magical man true goat!!!
Hes one of a kind. Only one person with that talent in a Millenium.
