The “Thriller” music video is just a masterpiece. It’s almost like an actual horror movie in its own way.

Your reactions make me laugh and smile. Great work and thanks for sharing. I think your subscribers are making great recommendations so far. I have enjoyed the variety. I saw the Jackson's Victory Tour and MJ did a great job live so this was a fun one.

[@ayaanbretmitchell9830]

Was 8 when this came out and the lean was almost as shocking as the moonwalk. Everything that set MJ as the greatest is in this short film. His trademark vocal, moonwalk, fedora, choreography. Everything.

[@PhilPastor]

Yeah, I heard there was some type of peg that popped up from the floor into the dancer's shoes to allow that "lean".... because it really is gravity defying, but looks cool as hell!

[@blakepowers777]

“Jam”, the video he did with Michael Jordan was unfuckingbelievable !!!! The humor, then the guest stars. Unreal. Also “Give In To Me” is by far the sexiest song he’s ever done. Most people don’t think sex appeal when talking about MJ. But he turns it ON in this song and video…

[@ZeeZee9]

Yes. And Dirty Diana!

[@gracemichelli.2am124]

RIP Michael. Truly one of a kind.❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@dipsydoodle7988]

Every new video MJ released during the height of the MTV days was a huge deal. A world premier that usually played all day and was hyped up for weeks before. I still recall watching this world premiere and trying desperately to scrape my chin off the floor during the lean. No one knew what to make of that and we couldn't even rewind. 😂 Have you seen the full version of The Way You Make Me Feel? That's definitely a must!

[@JohnJames_Wpg]

MJ's videos are always like little mini-movies. If you've never seen Thriller, you have to! That's almost like a full length feature film.

[@billyjohn7846]

he already has, i'm sure he has lol even if he says not lol

[@JohnJames_Wpg]

@@billyjohn7846 Yeah I see that now. He's recorded his reactions but didn't necessarily post them in the same order.

[@Cloud_Strife0811]

The funny thing is that this video is from a movie he stared in called Moonwalker. If you haven't seen it I recommend doing so.

[@darraha]

I have to answer the skin thing. Michael Jackson had a skin condition called Vitiligo, which causes 'blotching' or light spots. He used light makeup to help blend and eventually went through bleaching processes to make it even.

[@MiddleAgedBob]

Lots of people of all skin tones have vitiligo. And some of them use makeup to cover it up. But they use makeup the color of their natural skin tone. MJ had issues that went a lot deeper than a skin condition. Still managed to be the greatest performer of all time.

[@e_hachi1235]

@@MiddleAgedBob MJ did use dark makeup for years tho, but he had Vitiligo Universalis where the whole body is affected. So as time went on his condition became where he had more white skin than dark skin, it wouldn't make sense to do full body makeup every time you step out the door. It's a very common thing for people with vitiligo universalis to "switch" tactics to have an even skin tone, it's just a rarer form of the condition and MJ was constantly in the eye of the public who thanks to the media made it into this "weird" thing because a lot of people had never seen it before. He used Benoquin cream on his face and hands, wich lightens the dark blotches and works only on skin of vitiligo patients (FDA approved), agian commonly used for vitiligo sufferers. So to say someone had "issues" when you don't know the situation is unfair to do. Sorry for the whole rant but just wanted to shed some light onto it.

[@michymabelle1965]

Michael Had Vitilago - which made parts of his skin turn light, for years he covered it with makeup to blend in his skin colour - finally it was easier for him to blend in with the lighter tones - its well known check out this The Jacksons: An American Dream (TV Mini Series 1992 - it will give you some insight into younger life etc

[@GodParticleZero]

For the lean move, he has special shoes that hook into the floor

[@Betts711]

Your reaction primo 😂👍🔥

[@kimmycook2698]

MJ invented long form music videos...his Thriller video was groundbreaking for a lot of reasons, not just the make-up and special effect legends or the legendary director..but the amazing dancers and choreography. His sister, Janet, also did some long form videos.

[@SassyIndian]

"Annie are you ok?" He came up with that when he looked over to the CPR doll. Back in the 80's and 90's when you’re learning CPR, you shake the doll and say, "Annie are ok?!"

[@michymabelle1965]

The chorus refrain, "Annie, are you OK?", was inspired by Resusci Anne, a dummy used in cardiopulmonary resuscitation training. Trainees learn to say "Annie, are you OK?" while practicing resuscitation on the dummy.[10]

[@ajruther67]

If you want to see him do the Moonwalk for the very first time, watch him perform Billie Jean and the 25th Motown Anniversary concert in 1983. None of us had ever see the moonwalk before and everyone watching was amazed!

[@PhilPastor]

Great reaction, Shon! I'm a classic rock lover myself, but I'm also an old guy. So, I remember when the Jackson 5 were on the television all the time, along with the Osmonds, etc... The OG MJ has always had a special place in my heart. Regardless of how strange his personal life seemed to be, as a performer, there was none better. I am so happy that a younger generation is "re-discovering" just how great Michael was.

[@PhilPastor]

Oh, and if you haven't seen "Thriller", then that is a MUST!

[@SKEC212]

Michael got the name "Annie" from the CPR plastic training doll. The dolls name is Annie. And, when you get CPR training they tell you the first thing you say to a victim is "are you ok?". Now you know. I used to be a lifeguard and had to take the classes.

[@billolsen4360]

Oh, yeah...recessa-Annie! I'm glad Michael didn't have a friend who got murdered in her apt.

[@JohnAntunes-z5l]

It was also the birth of the original "hold my beer" when the little kid starts to dance.

[@Nelle1404]

Did anyone else notice that after the "lean," during the dance sequence, Michael did the first ever DAB!!!

[@harrietmiller3982]

Fun reaction! Nobody can beat magical Michael when it comes to smoothness for sure! It's as if he has some other substance besides bones as he is so fluid! The lean was imagined by Michael and it is special heels with slots that fit into grooves in the floor. So of course they have to be in an exact spot to make it work. However you have to have great core strength to pull it off and he has that for sure! You can see him perform this song live on tour and you won't need a filter as it is not an "official" video. A good one would be from Rumania in 1992 I think. They do a great job live. Most all of his tour videos don't require a filter! And speaking of filters there are other choices that aren't so dark you might look for✌️

[@angelaarsenault]

Elvis was the King of Rock, but Michael Jackson was the King of Pop! RIP both of them.

Your reaction to Michael Jackson makes me so happy. I grew up watching him starting with The Jackson 5 and then through his solo career. As a girl growing up in the 1960's and 70's there was so much great music to listen to, but like there will never be another Elvis, there will also never be another Michael Jackson. His creativity is unmatched. He was so diverse in what and who influenced his dance moves from both prior generations and contemporaries like James Brown, Elvis, Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, The Nicholas Brothers, Sammy Davis Jr., Jackie Wilson, Bob Fosse, Marcel Marceau, Charlie Chaplin, and Jeffrey Daniel. Then he took all that knowledge and put his own stamp on it. All his music videos are incredible. You've done Smooth Criminal and Thriller so I'm going to suggest another couple of my favorites: The Way You Make Me Feel kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqu9kKiopc9nd9U Remember the Time which also starred Eddie Murphy, Iman (model/actress and wife of David Bowie), character actor Tommy "Tiny" Lister and Magic Johnson kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpbMd3lmnNukmcU

This song and video is basically based on the classic gangster movies of the 1930's and 1940's which were popular at the time because organized crime and mob was rampant which amplified during the Prohibition years 1919 - 1933. Mobsters pretty much owned every speakeasy in the U.S.

ps I know you like the BeeGees check out Michaels duet with Barry Gibb - All In Your Name - its amazing and theres a video with it also x

[@seecha8970]

So MJ's skin color changing was wasn't a natural thing. He suffered from Vitaligo and in the early years, it was small enough that it could just shade it with darker makeup, matching his complexion. But as he aged, the condition worsened and expanded and I'm sure at first it was easier to to adjust the makeup to a lighter tone to cover the remaining darker skin tone. Ultimately though, it appears bleaching the skin made more sense cause makeup would've meant he had to sit down everytime he wanted to go out and get covered in makeup.

[@ajruther67]

Some men are gifted with singing in high octaves. Dimash is famous for that as he can sing 6-8 octaves where most singers can only sing 2-3 octaves. Check out Dimash - Stranger Here is the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/onfWc2h-i9OgiaM P/S Dimash started music school when he was 5 years old. He is currently working on his PhD in music.

"When he was black" lol He had vitiligo, and as he got older, the lighter patches were more prominent, so he had treatments to even out his skintone.

Michael Jackson had vitiligo which is a desease that destroys the pigmentation of the skin that's why his skin color changed he also had lupus not to mention that his hair caught on fire in a Pepsi commercial , and for his nose he obviously did a surgery but the reason behind it is that he broke his nose while rehearsing so he had to do a surgery in order for him to breath properly specially since he had lupus so he faced alot of difficulties in breathing , if you want to know more about his condition watch blackness by Jackson passion in your free time or react to it if you want , i hope you don't disrespect this man cuz he went through alot in his life from the ppl he knew and thought about them as his friend and from his own family not to mention the media who kept spreading lies that ppl believe to this day , and he already said that in one of his songs : " just because you read it on magazine or see it on tv screen don't make it factual " i feel like the more you go into his music the more you will understand him as a person, specially in his later years when he released history album which i consider his most personal album ever

[@itsjustnaima]

You definitely have to check out his full remember the time MV. It has 3 super famous celebs in it with an all black cast! You’ll love it, promise! Michael Jackson had the same skin condition Winnie Harlow has - Vitiligo. It occurs when cells that produce melanin stop functioning which causes light patches on the skin. There’s 5 different types of it and like his Autopsy report confirmed: MJ suffered from Vitiligo Universalis which affects your whole Body. Vitiligo tends to come with other auto immune diseases like lupus. What happens when you have lupus is that your own body attacks its own tissues and organs. Since he had a lot of dead tissue around his cheeks and nose area, he had to go through multiple reconstructive surgeries throughout his life to remove the dead scar tissue which made his nose smaller over time. Greetings from Germany, huuuuuge MJ Fan here! p.s: MJ actually invented and patented the shoes he used to do the lean with! Not everyone can do it since it takes a hell lot of strength to pull off that lean!

[@dannyupthereds4729]

[@mercychoke4475]

Now you've gotta do the 'Alien Ant Farm' cover of Smooth Criminal. And Chris Cornells' cover of 'Billie Jean'. The two best MJ covers of ALL TIME. You will dig them both. The AAF one is more of an homage to MJ King of Pop. The Cornell one is different- whilst it's still an homage- Cornell manages to make 'Billie Jean' his own. Slows it way down and reminds us that Billie Jean is actually a really sad and tragic song, and showcases Cornells' voice as an added bonus. Many people- even some hardcore MJ fans- prefer Cornells version of Billie Jean to MJ's- which is clearly saying something. Next to impossible to pull off when covering one of MJ's most iconic songs. But leave it to Chris Cornell to do it- IF anyone ever could. I recommend the version from the Sirius Radio live studio performance. It'll blow you away. Chris changes it into a soulful expression of melancholic storytelling of EPIC proportions. 🤘 RIP MJ & CC 🌬🙏🏼🕊🕊🕯🕯⌛

[@michaelmorris423]

I once read that Michael was a fifth degree black belt, and some of his moves come from this. As a former martial arts student, I can see where some of his routines seem to be adaptations of what we called 'forms'. Other styles call them 'katas', and I'm not sure I spelled that right. But anyway, yeah, I can see that much of the time, he seems to be doing martial arts forms to music. Especially when the kicks, and the arm throws are incorporated. So it's like kick, strike, grab, pull, strike.....etc. So of course I don't know if what I read was true, but I definitely see martial arts forms in his routines.

And for those of you that are too young, These were EVENTS on MTV, when Micheal dropped a new video the world waited with anticipation....they were great little mini-movies. Funny story around MJ, My youngest was about 6, I listen to almost exclusively the 80's on 8 on SiriusXM radio. We're all in the car and I remarked to my wife " Do you remember when MJ was black?" My son from the backseat exclaims " Micheal Jackson was BLACK! You people don't tell me anything!" he was absolutely indignant that we didn't tell him, to be honest it never mattered really, we've laughed about that for years!

[@tomemig7465]

A lot of people don't know MJ held a few patents on inventions. One was a cleat that was screwed to the stage floor. And a loop that was on the bottom of his specially made shoes slipped over it. So he would dance into position and attach his shoes to the steel cleat, which allowed him to lean and seemingly defy gravity. There must have been some special brace that strapped to his legs as well to keep him in his shoes.

[@user-wc7mm5xz5r]

The lean was done by custom made shoes with notches in bottom and bolts in floor

For me, the reference to "Annie are you ok" comes from the CPR training doll named Resusci Annie.

So when practicing CPR on the doll we approach Annie saying "Annie are you ok". That's what I think the reference is.

I remember watching the video when it came out on MTV, and no one could figure out he did that "move." You know the one! It was only after MJ's passing that some choreographers explained how he did it. But even with the explanation, you have to be a PERFECT dancer (same steps on the same place of the stage - every time) for it to work. Simply amazing. FYI, if you want an exceptional explanation of how he sung so "high," check out Wings of Pegasus's video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYizkKCJobB-Y8U Surprisingly, his voice wasn't super high, just super "thin." Wings explains it better than I can. Definitely worth a watch since you're already an MJ fan.

The TLDR for those who don't know, there would be a mark on the stage where a rod would extend into a special slot made into MJ's and the dancer's shoes that would keep them from toppling over during the lean...and yeah, you would have to be right on the spot with perfect timing or A) the rod won't catch it you're too far off or B)you mis-time it, the audience sees the rod and gives away the trick...
