Michael Jackson - Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' | REACTION

[@vlaszestyle3848]

If Michael Jackson was a song this would be it. It's so him and it's so iconic 👌🏿

[@DanielleGillmoreJohnson]

YESSS!!!

[@Shorty2Tyte]

Never thought of this before but... ABSOLUTELY!!!

[@lb8471]

"With a Child's Heart" is Michael Jackson.

[@darnell49]

Michael goes OFF on the end of this song. Makes me wanna do the church stomp. Whoo!!!

[@k-specs]

He was doing it himself live😂‼️

[@broque28]

Literally what I just got finish doing. No 🧢 😆

[@NaNa-ms1fs]

😂Love it!

[@herthaaa9171]

i think "you're a vegetable" refers to how he can just exist and do nothing yet people/the media still will have something negative to say. Or at least that's my interpretation lol.

[@GalaxyNexus1]

he actually spells out in the lyrics what it means: "You're a vegetable...you're just a buffet...they eat off of you...you're a vegetable." He's talking about basically how people with nothing better to do, try to gossip, start trouble and bring you down because they need to feed off of you to make them feel better about themselves. Even in this reaction Jack said he didn't know what vegetable means and MJ immediately responded "you're just a buffet," but he was talking and it was lost.

[@VVilla-zh5mw]

MJ wrote and composed this song FOR his sister Latoya but he decided to kept this song for himself and released it as a single for Thriller Album . *THANK GOD* he changed his mind 😅😂

[@nerdygirltravels]

The mama-se mama-sa mamakossa is from Soul Makossa by Cameroonian artist Manu Dibango who unfortunately passed away from Covid-19 earlier in the year

[@tryumvira]

Yeah sadly Michael didn't pay him enough for that!

[@dfree1442]

It's, "Imma say it one more time. I'm not gon' stop".

[@sampa2nyc]

Rihanna interpolates the mama-se mama-sa mamakossa chorus in "Don't Stop the Music" as well.

[@dfree1442]

@@sampa2nyc I understand what you're saying about what she said in reference to what he said, but that's not what he said.

[@drewvitale8366]

Rihanna took the “mama se” part form this song and used it in Don’t Stop the Music

[@ouleymatoudiallo7465]

The real owner of this mamase macossa is manu Dibango a african muscian who's died recently

[@VVilla-zh5mw]

Michael was one of the composer of that song right ? and I can easily recognize MJ's adlib

[@liquidlightz]

And that came from a 1969 song called Soul Makossa. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWGmlnmOa6plr6s

[@T1000-s4j]

@@liquidlightz yawn

[@liquidlightz]

@@T1000-s4j if you're tired go to sleep. But MJ wrote in his book Moonwalk that he loved that song and used it. Just like he used 'shamone' from the Staple Singers' 'I'll Take You There".

[@mmbrady]

Michael Jackson has uplifting music. They don't want this in this world today just like they don't want r&b.

[@Butterfly22593]

They want people buying mindless uninspired crap. That's why hip hop is the way it is

[@bilalghafoor1943]

CartoonHero dude that is so true man we all as a people gotta be woke 👁 but people are too blinded by the media and the trend of this era so people get distracted by what is actually happening behind closed doors. and also the reason why people do not listen to inspiring songs because all this generation cares about is the beat of the song not the message behind it.

[@XXavierTaylor]

Curtis Mcatee the eagles is number one in the US with 38 million over thriller’s 33 million but thriller beats it worldwide by over 20 million more sales.

[@sweetangelplus]

Michael wrote this song initially for his sister Latoya. It is said her sisters-in-law were ostracizing her and spreading rumors. There is a video on KZbin of Latoya singing it. Well MJ added it to his album instead. The vegetable and buffet part is referencing how people and the media like to dig into you and eat off of you for gossip. I believe so.

[@herthaaa9171]

I just searched for the video of her singing it...Thank The Lord he took the song for himself lol

[@sweetangelplus]

@@herthaaa9171 lol, you're too bad 😂

[@RockFan89]

She said they would pick on her and she would go crying to her room. Michael came in one day and said dont cry over them, I wrote a song for you.

[@marayalockett844]

Lol the thing about a lot of mj songs is that if you actually listen to the lyrics it sound like random nonsense or something really deep but is really upbeat. Like in this song he said If you cant feed your baby Then don't have a baby And don't think maybe if you can't feed your baby You'll be always tryin' To stop that child from cryin' Hustlin', stealin', lyin' Now baby's slowly dyin'. And no one caught on to that growing up

[@amirjaa7286]

Wow.. i never thought about those lyrics. This show me the other seide instead of just dancing and thinking its an song to dance and laugh lool

[@zerbstablackthunder3514]

I really love this song also because of the deep lyrics. I always feel the "You're a vegetable" is an insult.

[@hairchick9069]

7:49 Jack hit that classic clap that we all do at the end of this song 😂 you hit it so smooth and effortlessly like you've been here before lol. You are definitely invited to the cookout Jack. You are officially part of my family 😂💕 TFS love 💜

[@rhys992]

Excellent reaction. The live version in wembley 1988 is an absolute MUST

[@jannis5418]

Yes it is!

[@femiismail1593]

Never been so fast, you need to react to MJ wanna be starting something live 1988 Wembley

[@goldbrooks]

This song also did the same thing to me as a teen . I remembered " Mammasay " but had no idea this was the song. My world was forever changed #RIPMJ❤🙌🏽🙏🏽

[@Shyamanic]

MAMA SE MAMA SA MAMA COO SA, yo i cant get enough of that stuff michaels a legend

[@misscocoababii]

Me love this song! the coolest part is what he keeps saying 'hee-hee' every few seconds towards the end that really means that those vibes are good it's just flowing like fire and ice. Me is a dancer so me can dance like him!

[@vincentbyrd5350]

2 legends in this video. King of pop forever. Jack keep it up Lil bro. This is one of my all time fave mj songs

[@shays.3104]

“If you can’t feed your baby, then don’t have a baby” I think this refers to the how the media and paparazzi will do ANYTHING to these celebrities and make excuse like they have children to feed etc.. the extent they’ll go to is ridiculous. The lyrics to this song is upbeat and fun and seem so simple however they’re so much meaning hidden in the metaphors and so forth

[@cvanz]

That Mama say part came from the song Soul Makossa by Manu Dibango. Give it a listen with good headphones 😏

[@zerbstablackthunder3514]

I feel you!! I'm only 17 and when I heard the Mamase mamasa mamakusa part I was like, this part is so familiar. Just wow. I was very surprised but excited at the same time that it is in Michael's song.😍

[@GalaxyNexus1]

One of the greatest tracks of all time, Michael's voice, and energy, and writing and production skills on full display. I wish you would have also focused on the lyrics though. Yes, the beat and track are contagious, yes it makes you want to dance, but also, Michael was 1 of the 1st to make you dance but still give you a message. Lyrics like: "If you can't feed your baby/Then don't have a baby/And don't think maybe/If you can't feed your baby/You'll be always tryin'/To stop that child from cryin'/Hustlin', stealin', lyin'/Now baby's slowly dying" and "Lift your head up high/And scream out to the world/I know I am someone/And let the truth unfurl/No one can hurt you now/Because you know its true/Yes I believe in me/So you believe in you" should not go unnoticed.

Hey Jack, excellent job! I know what you mean about just making you dance... but those lyrics deserve some more attention! For a start it’s our first introduction to Billie Jean! “Billie Jean is always talkin’, when nobody else is talkin’” also, ‘you’re a vegetable, they hate, you’re just a buffet, they eat off of you, you’re a vegetable...’ that’s how he felt, and how right he was, more than a decade after he passed people are still feasting on him, sadly... he covers a lot of ground on this song, ‘if ya can’t feed your baby, then don’t have a baby, and don’t think maybe, if ya can’t feed your baby...’ Jack great work and thank you and can I please request that you react to his very early, pre Off The Wall solo song Music & Me. I really think it will touch you. #AmplifyMJ ❤️
