Teen Reacts To Michael Jackson - Beat It (Official 4K Video)!!!

[@valee6790]

The fact that these are real gangsters MJ looked for is amazing. And that he took the time to organize them and teach them to dance is wild.👏

[@BrenJen86]

The gang members did not dance. They were in the background. The real trained dancers performed the choreography at the end including the choreographer, Michael Peters, in the white jacket and dancer/actors Michael DeLorenzo and Stoney Jackson.

[@objectiveobserver4278]

There was 80 members of the actual rival LA gangs, the grips and the bloods in the video.

Michael Jackson was phenomenal.

[@chillywillie6283]

I saw Michael Jackson on television for the first time on Saturday night January 30, 1970. I knew then that he was gonna be special for a long time.

[@alexkx8599]

Wow! You are showing your age, lol.

[@bigdipper249]

Bro he was not just special....he was damn Extra ordinary elements inside him !

[@Nahid-zz7nj]

Uncle your +50 is the same as my dad's age 😮

[@danimal519]

damn it's absolutely addicting to watch him dance. Incredible

[@sunnyd4734]

I cannot believe this was 40 years ago. Seems like yesterday watching this on MTV in 1983. The video is so dated but the song remains fresh 👏

[@charlierussell6577]

Eddie Van Halen played the guitar solo.... iconic video

[@clbdyc]

Steve Lukather played rhythm

[@BLUEYENKO]

Eddie said he did this song for a 12 pack of beer.

[@quinny6920]

Michael was a freak, in a good way. So so mega talented!

[@sameersaha3378]

There is nobody in planet who didnt immitate Mj's dance in his/her life..

[@terryvittitow6362]

Silas, if you like this, you should react to Michael Jackson performing Billie Jean at the 25th Anniversary of Motown in 1983.

[@flubblert]

Yes!!

[@Shango]

That's when Jackson introduced "the moonwalk" to the world.

[@RobertSmith-iw2kb]

You should play eat it by weird al.thats a rip.this is Eddie van Halen on guitar. Wow.😊

[@nenabunena]

I prefer his Munich Billie jean tbh

[@CCJD]

I liked your reaction! I can tell your a younger man! Glad to see you appreciate MJ! I'd advise you to watch more and learn more from him! You won't regret it! Again! Nice to see the joy on your face! Keep it up man! 😊

[@AbrahamdeLacy-xm8sb]

Oh, man, he was awesome with those moves. So cool seeing you react to this the first time. You're not alone wanting to do those moves. Woo-hoo! Cheers 🍺

[@biaashley7638]

I love Michael Jackson ❤ Forever

[@intelligentfringe]

Michael Jackson was a great singer and writer, but he was a genius dancer and choreographer.

[@robinbeers6689]

I've heard this song a million times but i'd never seen the video before. It has a very Jets vs Sharks feel to it.

[@SMRT79]

Exactly!

[@r.l.marcelle8665]

Good honest review, brother. This guy was/is a legend. EXTREMELY talented!

[@AbhyashDahal]

Forever and ever ❤️

[@robbob5302]

In the 80s there were two kinds of music videos. Michael Jackson videos. And videos by everybody else. And I do mean this literally. This is because there was a very small team of people, responsible for thinking up video’s for literally everybody. And they tended to run out of original ideas very fast. Michael Jackson meanwhile had his own team. Just for him. So he got a lot of original ideas.

[@leahartlee29]

Great reaction and great giggles from me, re your dance moves, but you are a great sport, and funny! Michael Jackson was 5 years older than me, so he was the best entertainment in the WORLD for so much of my life. I miss him being in the world SO MUCH! Keep those MJ reaction videos coming, there are generations of people who just love him and love his videos, concerts, award show performances, etc!

[@SMRT79]

ME TOO! I will forever regret missing seeing him in concert live!

[@ayaanbretmitchell9830]

You really need to do Human nature 1988 Wembley. People also tend to forget just how important this song was for the massive sales of Thriller. With this song MJ now appealed and crossed over to a new rock fanbase. There are literally thousands of metal fans that have a soft spot for MJ cos of his crossover appeal. Oh and yes 3:24 is tooooo iconic.

[@SMRT79]

If you didn’t grow up in the 80s/90s - I’m not sure you will EVER grasp the mind blowing reality of this video! MTV was the lifeblood! We LIVED for these music videos - it was our souls!

[@ernestamari8298]

It's kinda strange when someone tells me they don't know Michael Jackson's music

I've always enjoyed Scream with Michael and Janet together as well.

[@Navyman825]

I was 10 yrs old and got to watch this being done. One of the dancers Peter Tramm was a friend of the family and he took me there to see this. I have the coolest picture of MJ going into his trailer. something i will always treasure.

[@stevemattfis]

The mention of there being real gang members is true. To give the scenes an authentic look they hired guys off the streets of LA as the background but the dancers were specifically hired separately. The story goes it took about a week to film all the separate shots. Behind the scenes the real gang members were ragging on the dancers but as the week went by they came to respect just how hard those dancers worked doing it over and over to get all the parts just right.

[@sslerlin]

No one can dance like Michael

[@ziky2967]

I'm happy to see the you g generation reactions to MJ songs. He was the best, his legacy will live on for centuries

[@janicepowell2188]

I like Michael Jackson and his songs

[@AbdullahAl-mamun-cd4wi]

The world's best musician and dancer Michael Jackson. His style of dancing and singing music never seems childish. He always sang music in deep voice, so his songs are hit and catchy. Moreover he always wrote teachable music. He was the only person in the world who performed dance-music together in front of live audience. May her soul rest in peace™🇧🇩🎵🎧🇧🇩

Now you need to compare Weird Al Yankovic's parody Eat It,

[@user-vu7us9sw9i]

🤣🤣🤣 Bro. you a fool!!! All good. We all used to try those moves back in the day...

[@heathermackinnon9527]

When Weird Al Yankovic does a parody of someone's song, it's a huge compliment. Check out the hilarious "Eat It" By Al. To wit:🎶...You'd better listen, better do what you're told You haven't even touched your tuna casserole You better chow down or it's gonna get cold So eat it I don't care if you're full Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it Open up your mouth, and feed it Have some more yogourt, have some more spam It doesn't matter if it's fresh or canned Just eat it!...🎶

[@richardnoggin1904]

It's mandatory now to watch Weird Al's "Eat It"

[@SMRT79]

MJ started the dance battle…let’s just say it

[@davenewman1970]

Eddie van Halen played the lead 😊 guitar in this.

[@williamcci]

Only the solo

[@hectorcabezas9619]

michael is the one 🔥

[@johnlynem]

Thats old school knife fighting. They would tie one hand from each fighter to the hand of the other fighter so that no one would chicken out or run then fight. usually the first to draw blood won.

[@Rhiannon011]

Silas you are so cute😎👍, watching you try Michael Jackson's "dance moves"...great song and video he was such a fantastic dancer..

[@Jewlietoo]

This was filmed with actual gang members. I remember reading about it (I’m that old!) MJ - sound track to life in the 80’s❤

[@mr.championsReyDeEuropa]

Michael Jackson el más grande siiuuuuuu 🙊❤️

[@kalel311superman9]

this is iconic dude

[@d_Howard]

The two "gangs" in this video were 2 actual rival gangs in L.A.; the Crips and the Bloods. The cast featured around 80 genuine gang members, 18 professional dancers and 4 break dancers. The chances for these gang members to break out into violence was a real concern. But it never happened. After all, this was MICHAEL!! They were all well-behaved, and together they made one of the most iconic music videos of all time.

[@joaoluizfonseca6914]

MJ’s music videos are the best things aside from the songs itself that he ever did😂

[@veadairavani5692]

You are so cute and funny! But I'm glad you can appreciate the fantastic dancer that Michael was. The guy in the white jacket was the choreographer for this video and "Thriller."

[@Usernamea1b12]

The most genious videoclipe of the all times (Mike said to stop gangs fights in streets on USA)

[@claudiovargas7361]

lol you have to check out the video for the Weird Al parody of this song called Eat It while this version is still fresh in your head to fully appreciate the genius in Weird Al's parodies.

1983 was the year of Michael Jackson, RIP to the king of pop.

[@jdice6868]

In 1983 Michael Jackson astounded the audience during Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever to commemorate Motown's 25th year with his moonwalk during a performance of Billie Jean. The next day an 84 year old Fred Astaire called Michael Jackson to say “You’re a hell of a mover. Man, you really put them on their asses last night.” Live performances are even more impressive since they don't benefit from editing.

[@BetoMelancia]

this is the extreme short version most MJ videos have 10 to 16min the begginingof thid one is really nice looks likea movie

[@johnthegreek5836]

Great reaction, I haven’t seen this video in years; I just came across your channel last night and I watched a few of your George Carlin reactions and I loved them, I subscribed right away

[@bonniespruin6369]

Now that you've seen Beat It, you have to see Eat It by Weird Al. He mimics the video in such a funny way it's great!!

[@josephstalin1789]

Underrated guitar solo

[@hughfuller8416]

Dance battle solves everything. My MJ logic.

[@Legion831]

Kid you’re breaking my heart, i’m a child of the 80s and it’s making me sad that you haven’t seen this till this point in your youth. Do your self a big favor and have you and your friends 80s get together and watch Michael Jackson, queen and movies from the 80s. Trust me, this stuff will help you self empower you. Other than that great video kid.

[@EP_121]

😂😂 nah respect for going for those dances

[@__blue--blood__7857]

Trully my best MJ song of all time . Also the most bad ass video ever made . In MJ videos Thriller remains my best music video of all time . Beat its music video comes in at second place for me . But over all Beat it best song .
