Michael Jackson Songwriting Masterclass

[@philmoufarrege]

I always laugh at how NO interview EVER asked about his songwriting process, and it took a COURT ROOM DEPOSITION for us to get this golden knowledge on how he created his music.

[@sonicfoxxmusic4281]

Watching this, i can't wait for the day somebody makes a claim on the following song.....google WHY? by JASMINE LAMPORT.... I was looking for something to stretch and test Jasmine's beautiful voice so i picked up a piece of paper which i'd written a lyric of about 300 words the day before and took it back again in lyrical content until all that was left were between about 17 and 19 words which said what i wanted to say....WHY?,...WHY,...WHY,..WHY?,...WHY?,.....WHY?WHY DID YOU LEAVE, BECAUSE YOU'RE GONE, WHY DID YOU GO AWAY....then i asked Jasmine to sing the word WHY? with a variety of notes.... .....and it's deep...and yes, repetitive....and yet, if you think that, come back to the song when or after you have tasted great loss....i have watched grown men(and women) well up in tears within three to four of Jasmine's "WHY?'s". Something is happening with it though...a top critic panned it because of repetition...then he was panned by a member of JOE PUBLIC...and she went on to admit to BUYING,yes BUYING(not streaming) all three of Jasmine's songs...on the strength of one listen of "WHY?". Might be an interesting day in court.

It all makes sense now, when you see artists humming out the melody first and then coming up with the words that fit with that melody or rhythm. I picked up some more songwriting tips that I can use when writing my songs, because the words will come easier to you. I'm glad I came across this video of a legend because I learned a lot just by watching his songwriting process. No wonder Michael Jackson had so many hits and they call him the King of Pop.

[@brendalg4]

Better to watch the original, this has stuff cut out of it. Also, there is another trial you can listen to.. it is for the song Dangerous. About the songwriting process... some people get the lyrics first. There is no set way to do it. Also check out Elton John's song writing process. It doesn't matter if you like him or not.. you can still learn from him. Elton can make up songs on the spot. Michael can't. I am not trying to slam Michael, I am just showing that there are many ways to write songs

[@LorettasOnly]

+brendalg4 That's true they are ways different ways to come up with lyrics. Sometimes I already have concept in mind before I even hear instrumental, because come up with the melody in my head. I will check out Elton John some more too, I know he makes great music too. Thanks for the tip, I appreciate it.

[@brendalg4]

In Elton's case, there are videos of him making up songs on the spot.. such as someone giving him a oven instruction manual (or similar) and he writes a song out of it while we watch.

@@SeldomPooper Let's start with the inflated title "Greatest Composer Of All Time". Mozart wrote 41 symphonies which lasts 45 - 75 minutes and the orchestra that consists of 100 pieces played the music. Jackson couldn't read music nor could he write music so how is Jackson a superior composer? Prince, Stevie Wonder, Phil Collins and Steve Winwood have all done something Jackson never did. They all have written the lyrics, wrote the music and played the all the instruments, arranged the vocals remixed the music on an entire album themselves. No one else in the studio helping them. Jackson had never done that for an individual song, let alone an album. We all know Jackson would beat box the drum parts, sing the guitar and other musical instrument parts to the studio musicians who would then translate to musical notes. Hear a sound in your mind and vocalize it or play it on an instrument. Jackson wasn't the first to do this, he wasn't the last and he wasn't the best.

[@Skitdora2010]

The voice is an instrument, even musicians should be able to understand that fact. The human voice has a certain range dependent upon the individual and requires proper care. An instrument requires being put in tune and oiling just like the vocal chords need care. You train your voice like you train on an instrument needing to learn pitch and meter. People saying MJ can't play an instrument likely sound like croaking frogs when they sing any song themselves.

[@OnlyMichaelJackson]

Ugh HIS MIND. 😭❤️😩 I feel like God drops this little melody into his head, and then it spirals into this whole song, his mind must take it and run with it, and he's just trying to get it all out before it disappears. I bet there's thousands of things always floating around in his head, and he just filters through them. Just look at the mood he gets in anytime music is played, how he starts dancing. Look at how he smiles and laughs when he recalls what he did. And how he knew exactly where the song was going. Lol he lived and breathed music. He was always in that place. I love him ❤️

He hears everything simultaneously in his head at once like a symphony. The song appears from above. Many people hear a short melody in their head and dismiss it.

You can bring them back but it gets more difficult with age (just like real muscles).

1. It’s incredible how through the entire demo he managed to stay in the same key without going up (real songwriters will get this one) without an actual instrument to help him stay in key. 2. That beatbox was made in the early 80’s but sounds like something from the mid to late 90’s hip hop. He was ahead of his time.

This phenomenon is called perfect, or absolute, pitch, and has been made famous by the well-known composers who are believed to have possessed such talents, such as Mozart and Beethoven." if you go further, a list of modern composers who possess this ability only included some of the greats, including michael jackson, jimi hendrix, jazz singer ella fitzgerald and singer maria carey as the most famous examples, if i can add, brian wilson has it too John Lennon might be the greatest songwriter ever lived, but even John or his song writing partner paul mccartney cannot do that

The demo is divine. The strings are magical. McCartney makes it sound like a nursery rhyme.

The lip thing 2:49 almost made me faint!

6:24 - 6:27 Hearing the unreleased track “Loving You” in there. It’s one of my favorites from Xscape. 😄

I love and respect all human beings, but there's millions of ways to write a song, this is Michaels way so why are y'all saying I have new advice, there's no advice, just tell the truth, I usually get a feeling, I write to some melody in my head, while doing what I call head singing, singing in my head, and then writing it on paper, so when I see the lyrics there's already an approach to the music, emphasized through my wording, find the best place for you to write, because this is Michaels way

Spot on...me too...it's not rocket science...it's FEELING....and Michael FEELS it on this video. Read my comment five above yours Kyri...about a song called "WHY?" by Jasmine Lamport.

Usually I get music first. Sometimes, music and (some) lyrics together. Rarely, do I bother to write a lyric first, or more than just a few phrases, because it's awkward and confining having to shoehorn music into a prewritten lyric. (No I have no decent quality finished music online at the moment... Even so, I have experience with this)

SONIC FOXX MUSIC...(D.N.A... Developing New Artists) Wait I don't see the song

[@javonmccord13]

I do the exact same

[@makyiabonner5950]

Nah I don’t force it at all I let the song create it self, like the beat talks to me and I easily come up with melodies. I hum the melodies and words just pop out my mouth that I feel that goes hard and easily able to write an entire song off it. But mainly, don’t force it let the song talk to you

The end result made me cry..i'm crying man...I'm crying....the combination of the strings and the soft notes were 14:31 and 14:42 magical...lovely... healing... actually i don't know the correct word to say.. these words can't explain it.. i was typing those 3 words.. but i felt they don't really match.. ahh.. got a word..it's something like divine... i don't know what you feel.. i feel like i'm in a paradise... but at the same time I feel some kind of loneliness in the music.. when i was just listening to music.. you are a genius michael... my idol...love you forever.. ❤❤❤come back soon.. this world needs you... we will raise our voice as one.. if somrthing happens after you come..i will defend you til my last breath... i hope your other fans will do the same.. keep faith on us.. Come back.... we will cross the borders if needed....❤❤❤❤❤
