BIGGEST SELLING ALBUM OF ALL TIME

[@harriettholmes539]

MJ wrote this song. Which can be interpreted as an angry attack on the tabloids press and others who hounded him.

[@ririremix8888]

Thriller is the best selling album of all time

[@AdrianSLorio]

RIP Michael Jackson. The greatest humanitarian and artist of all time

[@markr.devereux3385]

I wouldn't go that far. I think Jimi Hendrix .might qualify . FRED ASTAIRE is a better dancer and. not so weird.

[@TrentonSmith-hi3cm]

This song was meant for OFF THE WALL, but he held off for Thriller.

[@othmane_kh5255]

Just imagine this song is 40 years old how good Michael was is just unbelievable

[@jay-tc7we]

UNBELIEVABLE

[@v.j.3029]

You've probably also heard Rihanna using that Ma Ma Se line in her song, Don't Stop The Music. It's such a recognizable and iconic line in the history of music.

[@gujjewman96]

Mj also sampled it from an another song: soul makosa.

[@marirezende8478]

This is the biggest album in history The best selling album of all time, incredibly remarkable in pop culture, almost every song is a major *major* hit worldwide. Not to mention the trinity "Thriller, Billie Jean, Beat it", some of the biggest songs of all time as well.

[@dgoat2427]

Best selling album of all time still after 40 years

[@dgoat2427]

And Mj actually wrote this in 79 for his sis LaToya but he saved it for Thriller

[@jay-tc7we]

Michael wrote this in 1979 you can look up the demo Thrilelr is the best album of all time and still remains after 40 years cant wait for more THRILLER REACTIONS!!! YEAHHHH

[@lydmarl.475]

You are wright on the money, “if you cant feed a baby then don’t have a baby”, so agree with you!

[@harriettholmes539]

Your reaction had me smiling with you to the end. With this song MJ lashes out at those who take advantage of him. They eat off of you, you're a vegetable.

[@noname-nobody1247]

The most sold album in the history of mankind

[@SarahAli-oc8hy]

40yrs later and still THE BEST SELLING ALBUM OF ALL TIME.. it's gone past platinum lol

[@pressurejawn]

[@lydmarl.475]

You are so fun to watch, like a little child discovering something amazing!!

[@SephPlays]

[@johnalafis1004]

[@erenyeeagah204]

This song was written by MJ himself

[@ririremix8888]

YESSSS !!! Thanks for your MJ reaction, I love u

[@SephPlays]

You are more than welcome haha

[@lailanafees5141]

Oh my gosh your reactions makes me smile🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Its only gonna get better like I said before you're in for a treat. MJ songs mostly have great messages.

[@lydmarl.475]

Is he not so fun to watch?? Love it!!

[@glamourisbest]

Off the wall is my all time favorite album. Michael recorded Thriller when he was 24. Off the Wall he recorded when he was 20/21. I am having a blast watching your reactions!

[@mrexecutive]

He recorded OTW when he was 19/20.

[@annmariering6606]

Saw Michael back in ‘88 during his Bad Tour, and this is how he started the show! Still the best concert I’ve been to!

[@jay-tc7we]

Yeah his voice is more defined hes older now and grown into his voice off the wall was when he was freshly 20

[@michaelfoxx547]

BEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME

[@mathiussmith9119]

He truly was the worlds greatest entertainer! 🙏🏽 rest easy brother

[@Chackz0]

You've possibly also heard the Ma me se chorus in Rihannas, don't stop the music single from 06, she sampled this verse from Michael's song here

[@elizabethgomes5562]

MJ👑

[@Inesbrooooo]

I'm sorry but i can't help my self i need to get this off my chest , you're so cute specially when you were dancing to the "you're stuck in the middle " part 😭😭🤍

[@lydmarl.475]

Love his dance, he created, he is so cute!

[@Inesbrooooo]

@@lydmarl.475 thanks god you agree with me I thought i was the only one 😭 but literally he seems like such sweet guy

[@lydmarl.475]

[@SephPlays]

OMG Stop it you xD haha

[@erenyeeagah204]

Yeah his voice sounds more definded and has more character on this album.

[@catsara9114]

His singing started to be more percussive here ... really unique ! Unique is also your choreography 🤣Love your energy!

[@SephPlays]

I love just playing around. I cant dance to save my life haha

[@olivehealy603]

Thank you when Michael was small he said he doesn't sing it if he doesn't mean it

[@PhilipRivers-j7r]

Yeah Michael is credited as the songwriter, you're right he was a genius 😂 great lyrics

[@shantoyacobourne5368]

He wrote this

[@HappiestG]

This song says somethin's amazing is coming your way 😊 I have such great memories of my parents buying this album and our family listening to it together. I have the album images permanently etched in my mind.

[@markr.devereux3385]

This is unbelievable groove. Always gets me groovin. It heats up at the end . I hand to MJ on this one

[@user-vg2xu7xe1e]

wow wow wow amazing. he makes me happy also with his genuine lyrics and honest singing voice.

[@lailanafees5141]

Best selling album

[@brandonmitchell5867]

6:24 Michael out of nowhere: "you're a vegetable" Seph: "I AM NOT A VEGETABLE" 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂 that was hilarious!!

[@llLuthor]

I say with peace of mind, the most important album of all, the best for me is bad, but this is the most important and best selling of all, +100m.❤

[@danimalwonderpants2123]

To me this is MJs first musical indictment of the media 🔥

[@dcstoy]

You definitely have to react to MJ performing this song live at Wembley 1988 when you get a chance! Great reaction as always!

[@eelsworldjks]

Hi! First comment haha ❤❤ Waiting for more MJ reactions 😄😄

[@gujjewman96]

You should react to Jackson 5 songs when Michael was just a 9-10 years old kid. You will see why he's the greatest.

[@FinOM-hb7wp]

I never thought I would ever be grateful to La Toya. 🙃 Thanks to her, this very favourite song of mine was created.

[@maha77]

when you do *Billie Jean, Beat It, and Thriller* make sure you do the official videos

[@yisselcuban]

Okay, starting with Thriller era 🙌🏾. This song is really catching and is more when you see it live. Until I read the lyrics I didn’t get that part where he says you’re a vegetable 🥕 I don’t know why I though he was saying you’re the best of all lol 😂

[@CyberChunk77]

my fave MJ song ever

[@ahmedhero1348]

OMG what a song though it's funky and fire 🔥 imagine if they called it one of the funkiest songs of all time i love the phrase ma ma se ma ma sa ma ma makosa this song should have got a award for that thanks for reacting that I love it😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥and I love the lyrics as well

[@gurke..]

I prefer his more recent albums where he sings about his problems in a clearer way, but it is always a pleasure to listen to the old songs and just have fun. Not that they are not deep, just more concealed. At least I need the lyrics to understand the majority of his songs.

[@mandystylinson8986]

this is one of my fav songs of all time

[@luciawoods5654]

He did write this

[@MarianTamaritFlores]

Reaction michael jackson elizabeth i love you

[@tyleredison-zq4uk]

Michael is the only one listed as the songwriter of this song so yes, he was a genius lol

[@damianlove8026]

I love the “WOO HOO HEE HEE HEE” background vocals too. It’s the most high pitched hee hee hes ever done

[@TheRebuilt1]

You will love the moonwalker version of Man in the Mirror as well. This how reactions should be, no staged stuff i like his free spirit and movement and dancing during these reactions this is how people feel no staged stuff. great job sire

[@damianlove8026]

12:11 Your wanna be starting somethin dance is so clever lol ❤

[@katy5467]

Love MJ! Off the Wall was my party tape both headed out and back home we played it. Now, to clarify, I did say “Tape” as in 8 Track Tape 😁. That was before CDs. 🤣

[@michamankowski5781]

You put such a nice Neverland background for the Thriller album reactions :3

[@naiel18]

Yesssirr you've heard it in a short live performance clip from that "mj blackness" Video

[@ruff1draft]

Rod Temperton was one of the writers. He is British and does not do much interviews. I think he was in the band Heatwave from.the 1970s

[@jay-tc7we]

He wasn't per say a writer Michael wrote the whole song in 1978-1979 he just helped compose it a bit michael did all the writing and chose the beat and sound.

[@kyriesampson7781]

@@jay-tc7weRod Temperton didn’t have anything to do with this song. He only wrote the title track, Baby be mine and Lady in my life on here. Temperton did not tend to co-write songs.

[@finderkeeperrrs]

Well he didn't write this song. This was all mike

[@GodlessFiend]

Gone way too soon, SHOULDVE stayed alive until the end of his comeback tour. I was hoping to go if he ever came to my state if the money was right

[@cristianonascimentodasilva9773]

Biba !mj

[@erenyeeagah204]

u got the best reactions fr

[@katie4aday511]

hahahaha that was so fuuunnnnn

[@romeosyne]

When he sings the word "breakdown," i feel like it's an imitation of james brown a little bit, or an homage to him. I could be wrong. Plus "you're a vegetable...they eat off you" is my favorite lyric Michael ever wrote. It is not the expected thing, it's quirky. He should've done more odd, surreal lyrics. But then he would not have sold so many records, right?

[@damianlove8026]

Your right it’s in the mj blackness video

[@noname-nobody1247]

The song was written by Michael Jackson.

[@SarahAli-oc8hy]

King of ad libs

[@harriettholmes539]

Please react to MJ "Human Nature" Live performance.

[@SephPlays]

I promise i wont miss a single song 😍

[@ILDomer17]

Perfect. Pop. Song.

[@balovett]

I love how you kind of lose your train of thought at the very beginning of the song as you become distracted by how "bloody good" it sounds! (0:20) "If you can't feed your baby, then don't have a baby." (10:47) This lyric clearly struck a chord in you. Have you thought about fatherhood? Baby Sephs?

[@SephPlays]

When i was in my late teens i did actually realllyyy want children. But as i got older my mind started to change, then covid hit and that was the last nail in the coffin for me. What kind of life would my child have, what kind of world would they grow up in. Would they have to go fight in World War 3? Would they have to live through Covid 2.0? That and the fact im getting on a bit, i don't want to be picking them up from school and people mistaking me for their granddad ya know?

[@balovett]

@@SephPlays Oh, yeah. Completely. And add to that climate change impacts. I don't think we'll be as lucky with the next pandemic, either. This is what happens when a species overpopulates. My older brother (straight) never married or had children. And obviously I didn't. I know this must have been a big disappointment to my parents who I think would have loved to have had grandchildren. I don't think I've heard you mention siblings, other than the occasional appearance of your evil twin. Do you have brothers/sisters?
