REACTION COMPILATION | Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal | Reaction Mashup

[@WonderMommaOG]

💬 What an amazing song to do a video on. This one was super fun which is why I think it didn’t take very long to make. Every now and again I come across some “new to me” reactors who are doing amazing things on their channel. It’s rare to come across fairly new reactors who just have their reaction game pretty tight from the jump. Please allow me to big up such a reactor now! Stax Reacts: www.youtube.com/@StaxReacts I stumbled across his channel for the first time when I made the House of Pain - Jump Around video. Right away I noticed that his dynamics with his reactions was so good and it caught my attention. He gets to the point, doesn’t pause too much, genuine and is truly doing it for the journey. Most importantly, he is just a good human. He’s responsive to his viewers and actually listens to them (lol) PLEASE go check him out if you haven’t already. His rock/metal journey has recently started and so far, it’s been amazing to watch. I’m super excited for the next project. LONG OVERDUE. I don’t think I’m going to be able to keep this one secret so I’m planning to go live throughout the process. I hope you all are well and enjoy the video! Onto the next! 💜

[@StaxReacts]

Wow mama I greatly appreciate you for this very thoughtful and sweet message. I’m so glad we crossed paths and can’t wait to see what the future holds for both of our channels. You’re such an amazing human being as well and you’ll have a forever friend. Love ya OG💙💙💙

[@WonderMommaOG]

@@StaxReacts Love ya back, mister. I am happy we crossed paths too. Gonna have to bring you in to my flock of adopted internet children! 😅 (Psssst... if you want to make a general comment on the video I will pin it in a day or two so it sticks to the top!)

[@danusdragonfly6640]

Perfection! Excellent mix of reactors too! Thank you!

[@sharkbites5472]

I’ve always love your videos. But I don’t know why you always put Bisscute on your channel? Sorry but she doesn’t add anything to your own channel. There’s so many great reactors out there. I’m sure you could replace her. It’s your channel to do whatever you want to do, I’m just putting my two cents in….✌💙

[@WonderMommaOG]

@@sharkbites5472 If she has a good reaction to music, doesn't pause too much, and it appears to be genuine, she qualifies for one of my videos. As you can imagine, making these isn't easy. From start to finish, I watch an average of 40-50 reactions on every song. Usually, I weed out more than half of those for various reasons that would not make them good candidates for a compilation. Sometimes, I am not left with many to use at all so I have go with who seems genuine and technically wouldn't hinder the editing process. Also, reactors tend to evolve and improve their game over time. There are a few videos where I chose not to use her for whatever reason, but she is one such reactor whose dynamics have changed for the better over time. There are some reactors who I never use but are very popular... that is a result of either technical issues with using their reactions or there are things I saw/heard that I personally don't care for. A lot goes into the process of choosing. I respect the fact that like music, reactors and their content are subjective and I do appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.

What a lot of people dont realise is that Michael loved this cover and gave his blessing for them to release it

[@seamusburke639]

What helps with this cover is that it doesn't obscure what made the original great, it just turns it up to 11.

But why doesnt make the original version louder bro?

Well said

Michael Jackson said it himself how much he loved the reboot of this song. And his words he said it was amazing.

[@jeffosborn178]

I've always liked how they have so many references to MJ songs/videos. He is even sitting in a silver glove when he has Bubbles the chimp on his lap. Great homage to one of the GOATS.

MJ himself said he loved this cover, AAF also did a great cover of Wham's everything she wants too. But haven't seen a lot of reactions to it , Great job as always Momma

I might have to check that out on the new channel. I haven't heard it and I love that song.

[@theargentino4245]

Dude I remember that so vividly, here in argentina back then in the music channels you'll CERTAINLY see 3 music videos any time of the day: Chop Suey by SOAD, Smooth Criminal's cover by AAF and Clint Eastwood by Gorilaz

@MollyBoyTV Couldn’t sleep last night and randomly came across your Deep Purple Child In Time reaction. Ended up binging more of what you got, including this one. Picked up on a comment you made re your last name is Hughes, my maiden name. Born in England, raised in Canada. My family comes from County Durham but scattered here and there. I know that’s a very common name, but who knows, we could be related. lol New sub.

It is fun watching people enjoying music they’ve never heard before, but some songs just make people happy and make them feel good. This reminds me of your Deee-Lite video, which is also full of people having a really good time.

That was awesome!! I haven't listened to their version in a long while! Absolutely awesome job editing this ❤❤ If I can ask, would you be willing to do a compilation like this for Rammstein? I would love to try but I don't have the patience for editing 😂 but I would appreciate it. Great video!! That song got me pumped!!

[@WonderMommaOG]

Thank you. Eventually I will do a Rammstein compilation. Although there are only a couple of songs I know myself. I plan on reacting to them on my new reaction channel when I get it up and going. Thank you for the kind words.

[@AngieDoubledee]

@wondermommaOG you are amazing! I so look forward to seeing these compilation videos! I truly appreciate the amount of hard work, time and editing that you put into each video! 👏👏👏 You have a knack for picking all my favorites and this was no exception. Grew up on MJ, but AAF just killed it with this cover! I was so lucky to get to see them perform this live in 2001 and they killed it live too! For an old lady like me, it’s easy to forget how incredible it was to have that first listen. Your videos allow me to get that feeling back and I can’t ty enough!🎶❤️✌️

[@WonderMommaOG]

I love hearing stuff like this. That's how it feels for me. I can't ever hear it again for the first time but this is almost as good! Thank you very much!

[@AngieDoubledee]

@@WonderMommaOG Just based on your music choices and various genres I could swear we grew up around the same time with the same music. So when you choose a song it’s always something I totally can’t wait to see their reactions to it, it’s so dang fun! That being said, have you ever considered doing a reaction compilation of “ROCK LOBSTER” by The B-52’s? That would be hilarious!!! 🪨🦞😂😂😂

[@WonderMommaOG]

​@@AngieDoubledee There are one or two others that have said something similar. The truth is... I think we walk similar paths musically with many, many others. That's why it's so cool actually connecting with other people and hearing these things. It reminds me how connected as a species we are. lol I dunno... my brain tends to over analyze things. I look for anything positive about humanity as a whole whenever possible drown out all the negative. Music is definitely one of those things. One of the best things is even if you don't have the same tastes in music with someone else, as long as you both have open minds, music can become a tool for connecting. 😅😅 Deep thoughts with WonderMomma Handy. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6jYh52Kp9Frorssi=aGWEgsHSrQxBNbTd

The kid dancing was great!!!

[@rolanalberto3064]

I loved all the MJ references in that video: the dancing kid with the mask was MJs “botched” nosejob, Billie Jean Floor lights, Thriller dances and the ending, the “We love AAF” Japanese schoolgirls was his Dangerous and HIStory tour (MJ was A GOD touring in Japan, there’s footage of all the students greeting him the same way), “Bubbles” the chimp, the exploding car, the Anti-Gravity lean, the WHOOs and AWWs...I mean if the King of Pop said that he himself LOVED the cover and okay’ed this video, then you know AAF did it justice.

[@WonderMommaOG]

well said! I think I missed the nosejob easter egg! I'll have to rewatch. Did the part in the singers hair mean anything?
