Biggest star of my lifetime. You couldn’t go anywhere without seeing or hearing mike in the 80’s or 90’s!! I miss him so much. Music has sucked without him.

[@observantmonkey4055]

It's so soulless. Everything now feels soulless. Just money grab after money grab (I'm generalizing). All the way down to fucking video games.

[@NiftySoul1]

Still the biggest star

[@NiftySoul1]

Still the biggest star

[@user-hr1jk8il5j]

And forever

What can you say about MJ that hasn't been said billions of times? Simply the greatest entertainer in human history.

[@boonee8279]

Michael jackson is the greatest entertainer of all time

[@ViVaLaRan]

Yeah no one can ever beat mike on stage he was the greatest entertainer of all time, no doubt about it! Highly recommend you guys react to Michael Jackson - MTV Music Awards 1995 next. It's a iconic performance and does a whole bunch of songs back to back (the highlight being Dangerous, very iconic) Subbed :)

[@barsandbarbells2022]

Entertainer without a doubt! Thx for coming along with us :)

[@yojjyojj7046]

C'est vrai

[@jimakcelik6486]

Michael was a legend you’ll never ever see another Michael ever again. He was the King

[@beckyleavitt7808]

King of Pop. Elvis was the King of Rock and Roll.

[@kevinhennessy1615]

Only One Word Needed To Describe Michael Jackson - GENIUS!

[@rightwired]

The official video is a masterpiece of film.

[@f0nic1989]

Thats Michael J. He is the GOAT. Nobody got ever close to him, not even 50%. Especiallly in his live Performance

[@borakapk7418]

👑MJ>elvis and other singers Facts!!

[@timmueller7656]

I will never forget this date 3.6.1997 Mungersdorfer Stadium in cologne.10 years old with my parents.It was amazing.Im so happy that i had the chance to see him perform live.

[@alexandersteinmetz6857]

For us in Germany at that Time it were simply an Superlative Happening, Stagesize, Pyro, nearly every Song Costume Change, he filled an 40k Stadium there, counted in the Turf, he sold 70k Tickets. Double Time, two Shows in two Days, same Venue(Soccer Stadium). As his Death gets public back then, over here the Stores got invaded, in between Hours, you couldnt get an Hand on any Album of Him. Germany was and is definetly Michael Jackson Territory. RIP. Stay Healthy NWA Bavaria North

[@catsara9114]

Yes, yes, yes! Greetings from NRW, Northwest Germany 😀 I miss those days, the excitement of him touring, the concerts, ... Germany loves Michael! 🕴🤩

[@barsandbarbells2022]

We noticed he did a lot of performances in Germany!

[@itssoph99]

Michael is without a doubt the greatest entertainer of all time, if you truly want to see how incredible he could be I’d suggest you check out his medley at the MTV VMAs from 1995, it’s 15 minutes long and it’s just out of this world, his best performance in my opinion, his Super Bowl halftime show is great too but I think this one is much better, loved the reaction and hope to see more MJ soon :)

[@IndependentConversations]

"Never stop studying the greats" Michael jackson

[@msmith5121]

Greatest entertainer of all time....

[@chirovandenbos2339]

He was the last big big global superstar.....own signature, style, music, dance, clothes.....he can wear the same black pants and shoes and white socks in every clip or concert and its not boring .... nowadays nobody has that. It was before internet, social media and all platforms. There was real talented artist and quility timeless music. Now everybody can be what they wanna be and sounds all the same. No new thing anymore.....copycats . Even a Beyonce, Usher, Chris Brown, Justin Timberlake or Bieber van not stand in his shadow..... 1 of a kind and lifetime he was.

[@jdssurf]

His first moonwalk and hat toss vid blew minds, was cool as fuck, i was hooked and got into music instantly as a kid

[@davidcanning4840]

I saw Michael Jackson live in 1981, at Toronto Maple Leaf Gardens. Yep, it was good…

[@HGS434]

Michael Jackson's concerts were just one-of-a-kind. The atmosphere in the stadium was truly magical. I'm glad to have seen some of his shows.

[@dimitrasotirakoglou2553]

That was one the greatest performances of Michael Jackson Thanks ❤

[@Eyyoh755]

We Germans are admiring perfection. And Michael was perfect, indeed!😊

[@ankurkrishnan4852]

The GOAT!

[@pattiharvey1787]

RIP Michael Jackson. You are sorely missed ❤

[@djoetma]

Wanna be starting something Wembley '88 is probably a great MJ live performance worth reacting to. He was way younger back then, so it's a different vibe.

[@57kwest]

Timberlake, Chris Brown etc..imagine if they never saw the Moonwalk or Smooth Criminal...I wish I would have seen him live. Even Yelawolf talks about doing MJ moves in his socks as a kid

[@barsandbarbells2022]

We all did it at some point I think!

[@henrikalexandersson4663]

Love your reaction guys, so great to see you doing some MJ! I think one of the things I always get impressed with seing Michael perform live is how smooth but still exact and always on point he is when dancing. I'm sure those background dancers are considered to be some of the greatest there is (otherwise they wouldn't be at his show..) but Michael still makes them look "clunky" with lack of a better word..He's on another level.. It's like Messi vs Sunday-league players. You need to check out the 1995 MTV Dangerous performance btw, it's epic! Oh, and subbed :)

[@barsandbarbells2022]

Glad you enjoyed our reaction! It was a great performance! Thx for joining us!

[@SugahoneiceT]

My son is 9... this is his favorite song and video lol Always funny seeing how good music and talent pass through generations

[@IslamicStories418]

legend truly a legend king of pop.

[@e.s.7272]

I recommend you next: "Human Nature - Wembley 1988", "Workin' Day And Night - Bremen 1992", "Rock With You - Yokohama 1987"

[@greatriffishere]

I was born in the early 70's and have seen many stars come and go through the years, but the biggest star of my lifetime would have to be Michael Jackson. When the Thriller album came out in 1982 he became the biggest star in history. Yes, there was actually a person more famous than Taylor Swift is today and that person was Michael Jackson. Great reaction as always!! Here is some other artist u might want to react to Prince, Pat Benatar, Blondie, Joan Jett, Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks, Cher, Linda Ronstadt, Cindi Lauper, Twisted Sister, The Bangles, NENA, Quarterflash,... Cheers!!

[@ayaanbretmitchell9830]

Taylor swift isn't that famous tbh.

[@fredriknilsson6042]

I was at the Dangerous tour in Stockholm in 1992 and that was fantastic 😍

[@asyrotk7604]

These are some more great Michael Jackson songs "I just can't stop loving you", "Black or White" and "Ben" which is just angelic.

[@bazza5699]

what i find incredible is. he's not out of breath when he's singing and dancing..

[@JohnHazelwood58]

This was an amazing concert! Luckely I've been there ... as I was quite young (16 or something like that), it was extremly impressive! I mean: it's still impressive on video, but to have this live experience is on an other level! :)

[@user-xj3ty4dp4m]

Point of correction, he’s the greatest artist and entertainer of all time!

[@JC-bd5my]

He was great on this stage, but you should watch the original music video he did for this song. Itʻs amazing!

[@tonydynamite33]

Aaaaw so cool. I was there. This was my Wifes first concert. She was so happy

[@Charles-qm3mo]

RIP to Thee 🐐 !

[@Enjoy-the.]

The king of kings forever

[@paulobastos6475]

Here for MJ!

[@systerkeno]

Went to a History Tour 97 concert. Billie Jean was absolutely magical live 🥰

[@Chackz0]

You guys should react to some Michael performances during the Bad tour in 88, songs such as human nature, rock with you or I just can't stop loving you are good ones to react to

[@Moviefan2k4]

If you're interested in more MJ songs, I would recommend "Blood on the Dance Floor". Its one of the better ones from his later career, in my opinion. I'd also like to see your reactions to his entire Invincible album.

[@DJThijzzzz]

The KING!!

[@genie674]

The best all round entertainer. Just brilliant.

[@trishahamilton5880]

He's need inspiring people since the Jackson 5 in the 60s...Michael Jackson is GOAT!!! ❤❤❤

[@martinpoulsen3080]

Of great artists, who has been after MJ that really affects the whole world. Before it was the beatles, rolling stones but the last 15 years who has been the one who has hit everyone where everyone sings along without us even knowing it

[@dustinvangorkum3948]

So happy i was at least lucky enough to see him televised live. Such a sad day to hear he passed. Say what you want but you cant deny he made awesome music

[@Armijae]

Top 3 biggest mysteries: 3. Who killed JFK. 2. What happens in the Bermuda Triangle. 1. IS ANNIE OKAY???

[@kabirgupta9829]

[@cathyhetzel7692]

My favorite song is she's out of my life! ❤

[@monicakautzman4002]

The alien ant farm did a version of this song.. super awesome also.

[@barsandbarbells2022]

Just uploaded!

[@jonnno243]

Yes. Such a great entertainer. Michael probably influenced SO many people. But also, I think he would have agreed that people like Fred Astaire, James Brown and Jeffrey Daniel also influenced him.

[@NaturallyTek]

He idolized James Brown and love the other greats.

[@javiivallejos5341]

The best

[@annamariam1077]

Greatest entertainer there ever was. Check out the Bad Tour, good lord. 🔥🔥🔥 Thanks guys xxx

[@krw73]

Whenever I watch this, I catch at 8:26 when the dancer's shoe gets stuck on the platform after the lean stunt... He recovered nicely.

[@jdssurf]

always loved this

[@Bless-cs9ct]

His London performance was the best

[@zondax0x0]

You should check out his performance on Wembley 1988, he mostly sang live and was in his absolute PRIME, the Billie Jean and Smooth Criminal from that concert are mesmerizing.

[@ttt8878]

You should see the actual video also, amazing. Enjoyed the reaction and vibe

[@francineanthonsen2125]

Elvis:King of Rock, Michael Jackson:King of Pop.

[@redrum567]

Alien Ant Farm had an unreleased cover that they never intended releasing, but Michael Jackson made it possible with his approval. The video is worth watching 🖒🖒 Props to Michael's drummer Jonathan Sugarfoot Moffet \m/ His signature style is absolute 🔥

[@barsandbarbells2022]

Up today!

[@ccccapone]

I love mj and smooth criminal is favourite song off the bad album. saw mj twice live in London.

[@papadocsamedi2544]

I could not be further away from this kind of music but in this case I must make an exception. Choreography, performance and showmanship is insane 😃

[@fionaspath3332]

Love the song...Man in the Mirror M Jackson💛

[@carro-xb9oz]

the best evr.watched him in the old days and there is still noone who comes even close to him

[@angelramirez4656]

I like see one video of the reaction of 30th anniversary with Michael and his brothers, un abrazo a los 2 que guapa la niña

[@saltifate]

The bass in this version slaps like my dad

[@ams-nm6dl]

There will only be one Michael Jackson. The King of Pop. The greatest entertainer of all time.

[@marken8888]

what a beeeautiful version this is.....!

[@jojojojojo9806]

I just can't stop loving you Wembley 88 is ❤

[@stevenricchezza2965]

Michael Jackson was a blessing from the God's

[@CardiacCat]

The official video of this one is very good. Like a movie production.

[@kelleewolfe2834]

I love Dirty Diana!

[@zero2champion419]

I LOVE watching reaction videos, but here's the thing, Its hard watching a MJ Reaction video because I end up forgetting about the reactors and find myself in a trance watching MJ perform. Then I'm like "Oh wait, this is a reaction video".

[@57kwest]

😂 I commented during your intro and then you said the same thing 😂 BTW, is your wife related to Jamie Alexander? Cousins?

[@shennine7044]

Nice reaction ❤️ as always If you want to get a taste of Mike’s performing genius you should get into some of the performances on the BAD or Dangerous tour.

[@Bow503]

Must be heard: Scream, Will you be there, black or white, dirty Diana, given to me, jam live in. Bucharest, bad full video, thriller, beat it, eahrt song, they don't care about us', heal the world, man in the mirror, rock with you, you rock my world, blame it on the boggie. Just the albums basically. Please more more. Mj

[@TimLaBard-jf7mo]

If you check out Alien Ant Farm's cover of this song. It's a definite tribute to Michael Jackson videos.

[@deadheads1352]

Strife - Waiting!!!

[@captkt4275]

Would love for you to react to 2Cellos cover of Smooth Criminal. Elton John was so impressed with their cover he had them open his concerts

[@vinceddiesel5181]

YOU BOTH ARE SO beautiful - so handsome and very very good looking pretty lady !!! Can you react to REGINE VELASQUEZ & MARTIN NIEVERA BROADWAY MEDLEY PLS !!!!!!!

[@kurtlaurent7334]

Look at the 92 Bucharest concert. It's even better. Plus the original video of smooth criminal is a killer

[@badpinktink100]

really interesting watching your reaction to this, I went to a History concert, not this one, and I know some of the people you see in the front row. The concept of the Smooth Criminal live performance is based on the Smooth Criminal short film / music video which was part of Michael Jacksons film Moonwalker. Legendary chorographer Vince Patterson and Michael Jackson created the look and performance. Its all based on and inspired by the 1953 film The Band Wagon starring Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse and specifically the dance number called The Girl Hunt Ballet. There are even comparison videos doing a side by side of The Girl Hunt Ballet and Smooth Criminal , and even things like the costumes are almost the same. Also another fun fact , the background dancers are now high profile chorographers in their own right. After working with Michael Jackson on the History Tour, they went on to have very successful careers in dance. There are two brothers Rich and Tone Talauega have been lead chorographers on multiple Madonna tours and videos, Chris Brown Wall to Wall video, as well as dance films like You Got Served, Save The Last Dance 1& 2. Laveille Smith Jr has been lead chorographer for Beyoncé since "Crazy in Love" video. Stacy Walker, the lady in the red dress has been chorographer in films like Coyote Ugly, Date Movie, Epic Movie, Meet The Spartans, Cris Judd was chorographer for Usher, Jump, Brian Setzer Orchestra, Angie Martinez, Julio Iglesias and Jennifer Lopez.

[@diongibbs312]

Back in the 1990s and 80s you could ask anyone from any part of the world no matter how remote it is named me three things that are known worldwide. They would always say Jesus Coca-Cola and Michael Jackson. God performances like this every day's a reason why he is the greatest singer and dancer the world has ever known and will ever know. Even as a child of 5 6 7 years old he was a musical genius like Mozart and Kate Bush, she was another genius in he's era.

[@dgoat2427]

You should react to Billie Jean Basel 1997 Michael Jackson it’s phenomenal and Human Nature Wembley 1988

[@indynation6317]

Need to see official video

[@aleder74]

Bogdan Joan è l'unico al mondo a cantare come Michael Jackson ❤️👍🇮🇹😍

[@Enjoy-the.]

We want reaction about Billie jean or human nature 1988 wembley

[@jojosviolethaven322]

I made game videos slaughtering zombies to this song in 2012 about lol😂

[@MrTech226]

Band called Alien Ant Farm done an excellent cover of this classic song. I heard that MJ loved their cover. Try Alien Ant Farm's official video of this song. I am about 6 years younger than MJ. He and my older sister at same age if MJ lived. I watched him from Jackson 5 to his solo career plus reunions with his brothers.

[@barsandbarbells2022]

[@kamc1959]

Billie Jean - Motown 25

[@ramirezannette0]

You HAVE to watch the official video its the good one

[@D.nada_47]

Nice reaction. Could you do more MJ vids? All live..Billie Jean, Gone too soon, Earth Song, and Human Nature.

[@YallNotWhite_YourPINK]

React to Michael Jackson as a kid the Jackson 5

[@christinabollman795]

BTS actually did a dance break to Dynamite. You can really tell the MJ influence. Check that out

[@Kyky01010]

You guys should react to Jackson 5 when Michael was younger. They have a 7 min medley on the Ed Sullivan show

[@Nicki99779]

you gotta react to his 1995 VMA performance!!! easy one of the best performance of all time

[@tubewayarmy2]

It was a great performance, but slightly disappointing in that he didn't do the 'lean' he does in the official video for the song. I've seen him do this in some live performances, it depends on if the stage is set up for it, but definitely watch the official video version.
