First Time Hearing Michael Jackson - They Don’t Care About Us (Reaction!)

[@tiacalhoun3841]

This is when Michael was accused of hurting children and then what eventually led to his death….they knew MJ’s platform was waaaay to BIG to be spreading this kind of message!!! The world didn’t deserve Michael Jackson!!!! Man in the mirror is one of the greatest/realest songs ever recorded!!!!!

[@kellyvandijk3269]

Man in the mirror is my favorite, I was at the Bad concert in 1988 and I will never ever forget it ❤️✌️🇳🇱

[@rashadjames8996]

This was after the first allegations

[@kenyattaclay7666]

He actually wrote this in response to the Rodney King riots.

[@kj21]

He wrote it before the false allegations Michael would write stuff way before it came out like for example little Susie was written in the 70s and didn't come out until 1995

[@tiacalhoun3841]

@@kj21 right but it was recorded and released after the molestation allegations, I can’t remember if it was the first time or the second but one of them….I seen the story on VH1 behind the music

[@GuimaraesDreamers]

The recording of this video was a historic event for Brazil, most of it was recorded in my city, in Bahia, the state with the largest black population outside the African continent, the musicians who play the rhythm with it are from Olodum, a traditional Brazilian group, the fact that Michael is allowed to wear an Olodum shirt is incredible! He is probably the first foreigner to use it 🇧🇷❤️

[@DanYeLL2003]

Wow, thank you for sharing that with us. I have never heard this before and found it interesting.

[@annagonzales8178]

The making of this video is a whole deep dive

[@MonkeyFace544]

You must watch the Spike Lee directed prison version of this song. MJ was really angry when he wrote this. Another important song is Earth Song. He was phenomenal.

[@Music-Is-Real-Love]

This is my favorite Micheal Jackson song, thank you!!. His song Money never got enough mainstream media play, but it's amazing. Always loved many of Michael's B-Side hits.

[@Styxswimmer]

Same. While all his songs are great, I find this one criminally under rated.

[@jeffmorehead1311]

There will NEVER be a talent like Michael Jackson again! He was one of a kind, an Icon!

[@Dramawitsvu17]

My guy. This is the reason people believe that “They” has him deleted from this earth. He was singing about a lot of truths and he was VERY influential. They couldn’t taint him with the controversy on the TOTALLY PLATONIC love he had for children, they just feed his drug dependency and took him out that way. But his legacy still lives on. His music was a prophetic message to all of us today. Just look around now. We are dealing with everything X10 of what was going on during his time.

[@johnnypickens9228]

His sister Janet spoke on this some years ago on her seminal album rhythm nation.

[@Niniof5]

this is the song that THE MUSIC INDUSTRY shut Michael Jackson down for, because THEY did NOT want this being said in songs even back then..

[@Inesbrooooo]

Michael Jackson made a lot of deep meaning songs like why you wanna trip on me , tabloid junkie , is it scary , earth song , stranger in Moscow , ds , price of fame , childhood , this time around , we've had enough and much more , I'd love to see you react to them ,

[@annamariam1077]

Did you hear him say ‘I’m here to remind you’? I love that phrase. He was such a special person with a God given talent and a mission to spread love. He wanted nothing but love and joy for the world. Thank you. Great reaction! 🙏

[@DarkAngel1985Mike]

Love MJ and he holds a special place in my heart because I’m actually named after him in tribute to my oldest sister who died 3 months before I was born and she wanted me named after him

[@RoarinRoots]

I remember when this came out. I had on repeat for long minute. Love all MJ but if had to pick, Human Nature is my top fave

[@fuzzylogics139]

More Michael Please :) 🥰 He had more songs about the more difficult situations/ emotions in life than 'love' alone. "Scream" with his sister Janet, "Heal the world", "Tabloid Junkie", "Man in the mirror", "Jam", "Earth song".. Anyone wanna add to this?

[@SandraSealySeawomanBDS]

"Why You Wanna Trip On Me" is an excellent one too. I think sometimes MJ's beats and music are so hard hitting and hypnotic, sometimes we miss the seriousness of the messages.

[@fuzzylogics139]

Indeed! Can't go wrong with Michael. @@SandraSealySeawomanBDS

That guitar work is by Slash from Guns 'N Roses. Check out "Welcome to the Jungle" for more of G 'N R absolutely killing it.

[@paulholleman2918]

Slash did not play any parts in this track

[@BrenJen86]

⁠@@paulholleman2918both Slash and Trevor Rabin played on this record I believe. I don’t know who played what part though.

[@ZeeZee9]

I never knew that

[@quinny6920]

This is one of my favs of Michael’s! The vid is awesome! Glad you loved it too

[@ICTS22]

9:54 You are watching the censored version. Michael got accused of anti-semitism because of the lyrics of the original version so he and the label agreed to censor it because a certain group got offended. I do really like this song and the beat is nice too.

[@MichaelOttorino]

Check out the live version he did in concert!

[@Sharonmarshall66]

MJ was/IS one the best producers ever. All of his songs are made with such PRECISION. His "studio" musicians are very highly regarded.

[@reborndaughter445]

Hey, Shon, check out the 'Prison Version' of this song. It's even more shocking. We ask ourselves has anything changed since this was released? I'm so glad you enjoyed this awesome song. Thanks bud!

[@lailanafees5141]

Love this song, both mv versions are brilliant. This version has a longer version, which has a longer instrumental which is super amazing. Many of his later songs have deeper messages/themes which talk about the press, media hating on him etc Why you wanna trip on me Money Scream Privacy Threatend Morphine Are some i can think of. I'm there are many mods people could suggest😊

[@shelleylyle9058]

I AGREE AND MAY I SAY YOU ARE SO CUTE YOUR EYES ARE ALWAYS SMILING THEY SEEM TO REFLECT FROM YOUR SOUL. I THINK MJ WAS A PROFIT

[@101scetch]

That was absolutely fantastic. I’m with you, I really used to enjoy Michael Jackson’s music. He was very talented.

[@annagonzales8178]

He is so relaxed and free in this love this song

[@JaquelineGoodspeed]

He was smart to go to Brazil and sing this. I always thought it was just about police brutality. I never heard him, singing also about " him." Genuis. There's so much in this video. Didn't freak out when the lady hugged him. MJ had great political power. That scared America. Earth Song video.

[@SandraSealySeawomanBDS]

Actually in quite a few of MJ's songs, he DOES approach wider issues like race, caring for our planet etc.

[@mattleppard1970]

Always loved this. Stunning 😂

[@AmazingChinaToday]

It's a little funny MJ refers to Roosevelt, the guy who put Japanese Americans into internment camps. 😄 It's a great song anyway. Check out "Stranger in Moscow" where he sings about loneliness due to fame. Slash from Guns and Roses contributed to the guitar work.

[@krayziekiddofficial136]

This was an anthem when it came out. I still remember the events that took place with this song.

[@revolutionday1]

I feel like Stranger In Moscow is the flip-side to this song, as it seemingly addresses a similar feeling, but in a slower, sadder way, rather than him showing the outright anger. That song kills me every time.

[@anitamichell82]

Prison version hits different

[@daliinhiscoffin2493]

my fav song of him! MJ had to wait until the HIStory album to really have 'his sound' and that's what I love about this album. This song is very raw, not too many flourishes but I couldn't think of a way to improve on it! It's perfect!

[@willwhitman7534]

Glad you hit this one up, I love this song (anthem). Still listen to it quite often and will blast it when it starts playing.

[@NoaSantos-pf8lp]

Check out 'Earth Song' & 'Stranger in Moscow' for some deep Michael lyrics fam...

Would love to see you react to Michael Jackson’s Heal the World. It’s a beautiful song

[@tamaraz.5827]

Great reaction to a very good MJ song. I recommend Scream by Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson. The black and white video.

[@llLuthor]

mike talked about various causes, from racial to environmental and humanitarian, here are some of the songs about: black or white, earth song, heal the world, man in the mirror...

[@gracemichelli.2am124]

One of my favorites from MJ.❤

[@kimking6036]

There's 2 videos to this song. The other is set in prison. He does have songs about topics that some people didn't want to hear. He is one of the greatest. He was also Elvis ' son in law❤

[@beatrice1234ful]

The earth song is one you should react to, it's the most important warning song he ever gave us, and yet people still don't care

[@dr.horror9046]

Great reaction! Def one of MJ’s most profound songd

[@jeanine6328]

It really hard to believe this song is so overlooked. It blows my mind because it is so different from his norm but so powerful.

The live version to this is amazing, please do a reaction to that. The opening set of three songs on the History tour. I think its in Auckland ❤❤❤

[@aljoharas8581]

Listen to songs like “we’ve had enough”, “earth song” and “tabloid junkie” if you want to hear amazing songs about political, human rights and environmental issues by MJ.

[@DrnkTheWildAir]

I ❤❤❤❤❤ MJ

[@davidbanachek7966]

I have a reaction recommendation that would likely get a lot of views. It's by a recording duo most people in younger generations are completely unfamiliar, but they went from being complete unknowns to having their 1989 album going 6X Platinum (sold 6 million copies in the US) with 3 #1 US charts hits, a #2 US chart hit, and a #4 US chart hit. They won a Grammy for one of the songs. They were later embroiled in the biggest scandal in Grammy history when it came to light they did not sing a note on the album. They were lip-syncing and had to give their Grammy Award back. They public turned on them. They lost everything. There is a great documentary out about them recently released. One of them (Rob) spiraled out of control and died from a drug overdose years after being stripped of their Grammy award. The other (Fabrice) handled it much better and is currently married with kids and still performing. Apparently Fabrice took some voice lessons and sounds pretty good though the crowds now are much smaller. If you haven't already guessed the name of the duo / band, I'm talking about Milli Vanilli (Fab Morvan and Rob Pilatus). Blame It On The Rain is the song that won the Grammy. Girl You Know It's True and Baby Don't Forget My Number are the other two #1 hits from the 1989 album entitled Girl You Know It's True. The songs were fire. Their look and their dance moves were fire. This would be a great reaction video!!!

[@gica028]

Great reaction video! Congratulations.

[@TheNotedHero]

More serious topics? Black Or White comes to mind. One of the first uses of face morphing, was mind-blowing for the time.

[@Loveduff]

Again you are hilarious..you make me smile...

Do a reaction to "Scream" with Michael and Janet! It's a rock pop vibe, but with a much deeper meaning. Also "Earth Song" is a whole experience!

[@chriscontino6670]

The guitar is courtesy of Slash!

[@flboy85]

Oh and Slash from Guns N Roses was the guitarist.

Please, react to him in Earth Song video

A not so famous song but quite good from MJ is 'Why you wanna trip on me'. Read the lyrics.

The prison version is better but this is weirdly maybe my favorite Michael Jackson song.

The additional guitar player is Slash from the band "Guns 'n' Roses" ... maybe you've heard of them! If not: You asked for stuff to react to, ... give GNR a try. Try the live version of "Paradise City".

Try out Robert Randolph and the Family Band. He is excellent on the slide guitar. Listen to “Going in the Right Direction”. I heard them open for Clapton live in concert. Awesome show

Love your break downs and how you see the layers. You asked to hear more lyrically political songs from Michael. A song called We've had Enough is probably his most powerful. Watch a video with lyrics as the narrative and word structure are superb. You'll see what I mean. Have a good day my good man.

[@florad629]

[@MaryGreen-b4c]

You listen to his HIS Tory album ( his diss album)!

[@andibay3736]

You know they say Mike is alive… There’s a video showing a person with his build getting out of the back of the ambulance (supposedly taking his corpse to the hospital morgue) and being escorted through a back door into the facility. With all that’s been going on in this world, I don’t doubt it for a second. There’s also a video of a man with the same build and dress as Michael on a boat with his children and other family members. This person appears to be “white” but for Pete’s sake look how white he is in this video! It’s also said that Mike loved wearing disguises simply so he could be out in public without being recognized. I absolutely believe he faked his death because they were trying to get rid of him through scandals of child molestation and likely threats on his life. He refused to be under their control and if you don’t play ball, they come after you.

[@ICTS22]

When KZbin used to allow conspiracy videos, there was one that basically said what you said; that Michael was alive and had been wearing a mask and impersonating a white male burn victim named Dave Dave. Because the voice sounded exactly like Michael, the video made a very compelling case. I couldn't find the video, but I did find the article "Michael Jackson is still alive and masquerading as a burns victim, website claims." There is also a similar story about Prince supposedly being alive and masquerading as his sister. Wild stuff for sure.
