@MichaelJackson
The rhythmic interplay between the instrumental arrangement and the vocals are truly unique and inspiring in this piece. There's this sense, in many cases, that Michael is playing the role of a horn player in the way he phrases. There is evidence of this in other pieces too, but this song really brings that 'instrument nature' of Michael's voice to the forefront.
...And you hear it in an extra enriching way when you get to isolate out the different instrumental aspects to hear how Michael's voice pulls and plays with time.
Lots more easter eggs and interesting discoveries too! Let's jump in!
I get these multitracks from a friend who has a large collection of them. Lots of you have been asking :)
Hello, can i get multitracks too..? please:))
@@alekseypro2416 I can not link to them or provide them for download. I tried and Sony took my videos down. You'll just have to find them yourself. I'm sure they are out there somewhere. :)
Its called chemical casteration
@@chrisliepe finding it alone is difficult and the only ones that are available are fake multitracks of this song
I´m a Dj and I would ask if can I have them!!! I´m from Mexico
As long as you keep doing Michael Jackson, I will keep coming back.
:)
Same here!
Hashtag metoo.
#mjforever #mjeveryday ME, TOO !!
Me too!
Michael once said about dancing that one becomes the bass, the drums and the strings.
This man was the physical embodiment of music
10:47 is craaazy the bass line plus the harmonies is nuts
Loved that part
Sounds amazing
That part has been on repeat!! Where Chris sighs after hearing it for the first time like that, I sighed too.. I felt that exact same way
With this time stamp I can keep on hearing it just one more time for like the 50-11th time! ❤
You hear a lot of James Brown's influence in Michael's vocals on this track. That's definitely his aggressive gritty singing style. James Brown sang with the beat and added in all his nuances. Michael took that same approach and really took it to an untouchable level. As Michael said himself "Study the greats and become greater".
That’s what we’re trying to defend for Michael Jackson’s legacy, his voice placements, his vocal arrangements, he was a real genius...
There are many artists who sing very well but I understand why Michael Jackson stayed in the studios of Motown with Berry Gordy, Bobby Taylor and Stevie Wonder... at the age of 11 he understood everything how to make a song...😊
And his innocent
@@vexingwinstones2644 agreed
I Believe that he was a Pop King of my Time❤

I love the Bad album. The raspy, airy, almost rap like, James Brown style delivery. the ad libs and callback’s he was experimenting so much here. Brilliant.!
My favorite album of all times!
First album in history that generated 5 consecutive #1 singles: I Just Can't Stop Loving You, Bad, The Way You Make Me Feel, Man In The Mirror, and Dirty Diana.
I became a fan when Dirty Diana was on top of the charts in 1988. I could go on and on about the album. 😁
@@gildaslefur2435 Should've been 6. I still can't believe Smooth Criminal only peaked at #7. Only two albums have accomplished the feat, Michael Jackson and Katy Perry 25 years later.
I love the Michael Jackson episodes. Keep them coming!
I have more in the works!
@@chrisliepe yessss!
His voice cannot be copied. Harmonies here are epic. This is great, thank you 👍😁
One of the reasons I looooove this song is the harmonies......soooo exquisite
ME TOO!!!
Michael was like an actor with his voice . Even when on stage . Like a play actor
Michael was the king of the groove. This song shows it perfectly. This song IS groove.
The piece that starts at about 10:40 -I can listen to just that on a loop. So good 👍🏽
That high note does it for me everytime 😂 I love it
After Michael passed, I was sad that I would never again hear his voice for the first time on a new song. Your analysis videos allow me to hear his voice for the first time again! Thank you 🙏❤️😊
Oh that's an awesome way to express how I feel about these. I complete rediscovery!! Thanks for this comment!
@@chrisliepe Thank you! You do an amazing job of expressing what made him great!
What a thing to say!!!! WOW
I didn't know this was a micheal jackson song until a couple years ago. when i was a kid my dad used to mess with me when i said "leave me alone" and he would always suign back the chorus of this song
Who is "Micheal?"
@@mg19caloompa loompa obviously
Quincy had very little influence on this particular track. This is purely Michael and his B team at Hayvenhurst
That's exactly what I wanted to point out. In fact many songs of the Bad album was actually Bill Bottrell, Matt Forger. John Barnes talked about in an in depth interview how Q just simply stole their work. And yet called them the derogative 'b team'.
@@richardkovacs2006interesting
@@richardkovacs2006 Quincy was somewhat low key jealous of Michael, his younger prodigy....it shows in old age
@@Shayzar1 Michael is not a prodigy of Quincy. he was famous and a legend before quincy.
@@richardkovacs2006 Quincy Jones puts them altogether, he is the master producer or creative director. He brings in creative people to do things for him, play instruments, arrangement, writing etc. QJ productions is a company.
This song made me a fan. I heard it on the radio around 1997 and became obsessed. Of course I knew many other MJ songs but this one was the first one that I recorded, heard compulsively and analysed. A couple of weeks later I got History and OMG I was completely blown away by his magic.
Only MJ can do that rythm to his music.
Soooo true! He was a master with the rhythms!
This song is absolutely epic. And now I appreciate it even more, after hearing how beautiful all instrumental and vocal parts are!
I think the same!!!
Thanks for stopping by and listening!
10:47 i just cant put into words how good this section is; the lower notes with the chorus really fits! love it man, MJ was one of a kind, and forever will remain that way
so incredible, keep doing MJ, I'll keep watching.
MJ was a musical genius. It ran in his blood. He lived and breathed music. His mum even said as a baby he would dance around.
He was constantly writing songs. Constantly coming up with new revolutionary ways to entertain us.
When touring he would at times write song lyrics on pieces of paper and even on his pillow case. Michael's voice was an instrument in itself. He would beat box a rhythm and build the song around that.
Such an amazing talent.
And such a great humanitarian.
The way you break this down is every bit as genius as MJ’s work. The way you understand it, not many do.
why at 10:46, the harmonies with only the bass give an amazing vibe to it !
Since you posted your first MJ multitrack video I hoped this song would come some day, this is awesome, I’ve been obsessed with those chorus harmony vox for years
The amount of control Michael has in his voice is insane but you do a even better job breaking it down for us thanks Chris 👍👍👍
I just noticed a little easter egg, on the bridge the background vocals with the effect say "and this choice you will take" but MJ actually sings "and this choice you MUST take" over it.
Top 3 MJ song easily….His vocal stacks and adlibs are second to NONE. Thank you so much for this breakdown. It makes my appreciate for the GOAT grow more n more with each vid you drop! 🙏🏾
I'll keep 'em coming!
Michael was one in a million.......one in ......not in a generation even!...no human will ever see or hear anyone like him again!
A billion universes a billion planets there will never be another Michael Jackson ! just let that sink in!
I was maybe 9 when I found the CD version at a relative's house and it was like a second Christmas finding out there was an extra song on the album. And it was amazing AND he made a video for it! One of my all-time favorite pop songs, not just MJ's
The video came from moonwalker movie. ...
There was also at the end a suprise of Beatles song remake
Maaannn @2:30 OMG!!! That Guitar Riff And The Other Riffs Is My FAVORITE PART of That Song!! I Get Chills Hearing That Part From The Beginning Of The Song!!!🙌🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥😳🥲😄
that with 3:36 n hearing them all together. is just out of this world.
One of the greatest singers and musicians of all time, and your analysis is 🔥
The chorus has 3-4 layers of crescendo. Also all or most of Michael's choruses are by himself! The trumpets are signature 1980s tradition. His doing the "tappa do.. tappa do..." is repeated again in Remember The Time.
Since Tabloid Junkie (History album 1995) and Price Of Fame (Bad album 1987) share similar theme of paparazzi, it'll be wonderful to watch your reaction to them.
Thank you. Michael's voice is so unique, so cool.
Damn Mike was gritty on that hook
AND he was still singing in a high range in his natural voice over long notes. Dude was one of one.
Amazing man. I'm still waiting for Michael's Who Is It, Threatened, They Don't Care About Us and Speed Demon
Omg Speed Demon next! Please!!! 🔥
Hearing it individually is something magical
I don’t know what it is about these breakdowns and Michael’s voice. I’ve had tears streaming down my cheeks every time I hear his voice on your videos. He is such an underrated vocalist and songwriter. Thank you!
Thank you for this.
Michael will forever be the greatest entertainer in the world.
He produced magic and was also an awesome human being.
Leave Me Alone is incredible but my favourite from Bad has to be Speed Demon. That song is pure perfection on all accounts. Maybe you can do that one some day?
Also à balade, the track 4 beegining with klaxon sample
OH MY GOD! Chris this is the best MJ song breakdown you've ever done. The multi tracks, the HARMONIES, the bass, his RAW VOCALS 🔥 🔥 🔥 everything was fire about this. Thank you for doing this! Can't wait to see the next MJ multi tracks analysis
15:37 This vocal part basically matches with the saxophone solo, until right here. Now I can hear how smoothly Michael actually bends the note at this 'harmonic divergence.' 🎶
He does get quieter than the 🎷sax here; perhaps another of those intentional back-offs you describe. To my ears, this made Michael's voice seem 'strained' or 'faltering' at this part. 😕
Oh, and I've always loved that 🤌 sound labeled "OBX," presumably comprising the saxophone solo filtered through an Oberheim synthesizer. I don't recall hearing the _raw_ sax in the mix though.
Just a pure harmony for my ears and my brain. His voice is so beautiful, he had a total control on it 🫶
Let’s vote this get done for his entire catalog 🔥🔥❤️
This by far is my favorite song. I’m so glad you broke it down. I love it.
Amazing production in this song. I love how the synths, and bass, and guitar all work together to make this rhythm. Its just amazing. Are you able to do Michael Jackson's "Scream" multitrack next? Those are SO great! Keep up these videos, I love them and how you do them.
much love!!!
Chris, I had to come here to thank you for showing this to us! I cried from relief of finally hearing and revelling in these vocals the way I’ve always wanted to. I’ve been fascinated with this song since I was a very little girl! And the way you talk so passionately about Michael’s music and performance feels like we’re geeking out together over MJ’s greatness! Thanks again 🙏🏾❤️
Michael Jackson once said that the greatest "education is watching the masters at work". As an aspiring music artist, watching your videos and listening to these Michael Jackson songs in close analysis, I must say, I'm learning a lot about vocal performances and much more. These are things I'm gonna hold on to, keep in mind, and I'm very interesting in learning more about music from your videos.
Michael was an example of the accumulation of "Practice Makes Perfect" from diapers to death. Practice Practice practice. Dev8ne indeed. Rare. Surreal. Pure magic. RIP
Bro you are so lucky 😭😭 I wish I could get Micheals multitracks
These background chorus vocals heard alone are pure magic, magical pureness.
Amazing break down, so much detail that i never picked up before this video. I loved the bit about the horn player, it's so genius!
Nice one Chris!
Glad you enjoyed it!
i love how the snare on the song is so powerful, that the subtitles think its an applause every time XD
Incredible video. This is fascinating!
Glad you think so!
I was waiting for you to do this song!!!! It's my favorite MJ song ever! There's so much complexity in this song and his vocals are impeccable. It's a very underrated song in his catalog, imo.
Michael Jackson was on another level 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎 his level of singing was outstanding the Vocal king 👑👑👑👑 what I just heard today in your video wowww😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
His voice gives me goosebumps in this song especially, the guy is on another planet. The king forever 👑 the world will never have another Michael
I’ve been searching all over to try to isolate this vocal harmony for years 10:37
I just realized he uses his breaths to come in on the correct bars. Insane
Michael Jackson ❤️❤️❤️👑👑👑
This has always been my favorite song on the album (CD), it wasn't on the EP when released. I still can remember when I got the CD as a present and I couldn't stop listening to this tune. Michael's harmonies during the chorus are insane, they always give me goose bumps, but hearing them in isolation @13:40 brings me to tears, just wow!!!
Yo. Mike was a savage. Ppl dnt understand this. It gets overlooked so much. His songs are bodies of work. Artistry. This breakdown is so amazing
EARGASM - this song is so cool! The bass slaps like CRAZY!
Have you done Michael’s cover of “Come Together” yet? IMO, way better than the original. I’m glad he got the rights to all the Beetles’ music just because of that song; it was perfect for his voice.
Ohh not yet. Good idea!
Thank you Chris! And Thank to the universe 4 giving us Michael jackson.
And about how contagious is .. all MJ stuffs bring that vibes and energy to the listener .. personally can’t help it since I was a kid, 35 years ago !! And still ..
3:06 Quincy barely had any influence over this track. On the other hand, getting to hear these stems is a blessing
I don’t think that he thinks about technic when he is singing. He is just singing, thats hes voice. Incredible. Greetings from Belgium
Was so excited to see another video notification for more MJ Isolated vocals. I love these. It was awesome, especially what you unpacked in Michael’s voice. Love it.
DUDE U ROCK!!!! GREAT SHOW ON THE GREATEST, MJ.
OMG THIS WAS AMAZING!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SONG AND i'M SO GLAD I HEARD THE BACKGROUND VOCALS. Chills!!! MJJ will always be the best. Thank you for this and all of your other videos. :)
One of my favourite MJ songs, those chorus harmonies are a goosebumps moment! Very cool to hear it all separately.
Being able to watch these types of videos and then go back and listen to the full mix is crazy helpful for those who write marching band arrangements. Even though we already have an ear for the chords and the harmonies and everything else going on, it helps to watch this and then further understand which parts to add more emphasis on. Thank you SOOO MUCH for making these types of videos🙏🏽
Hello Chris, I just wanna say I have been searching for videos like this for a long time on CZcams and finally my journey stops here. I have listened to mjs whole discography and was yearning for something new from mj. These videos are gems and every part of his raw natural voice is enjoyable. please dont stop. MOAR!!
What I find most interesting about his voice is the development throughout his career, as a youngster opting for natural vibrato then as he progressed through his adult works he utilised so much contrast in character and technique, his long held notes aren't using natural wide vibrato or any vibrato at all. instead he shifted to quick almost tremolo "fake" vibrato mostly on shorter notes.. Genius.
Leave Me Alone has definitely become one of my favorite MJ songs
Absolutely phenomenal breakdown. Love this song. Love this video. Many thanks
I’ve wanted to hear these separated tracks since I was 7 years old!!!
Love it so much!! thank you for putting this out!!
Amazing how he was able to fill in "pockets" of the track with his vocals and his nuisanced ad libs. One of the greatest of all time.
Oh man that was just awesome, I hope I can get my hands on these soon and play around with them
You are the best man. We learn so much from your videos. Leave me alone was an underrated song.
Thank you for sharing this. ❤ I always loved the way he hit those high notes in LMA. The same way he does in "Do you know where your children are" (the original) or in "Al Capone". I get goosebumps every time I hear his high pitch. Simply incredible. And thanks to you, we are now able to hear it separately. 🙏 And btw, he said it during This Is It rehearsals that he was layering his own voice: he was singing with himself. Now I understand what he meant by that, thanks to your channel. I really appreciate your videos. 🙏
THANK YOU SO MUCH for EVERY video, that you‘ve made! Especially for Michael! You are a REAL PRO👍👏👏👏🤩
The layering of the chorus line has always sent shivers down my spine
I am surprised they don't auto-detect as copyright for even short 10 second clips... and MJ Estate is so insanely protective of his music now but your videos are actually truly EDUCATIONAL
I love it!!!! One of my favourite songs!
So is "going back" in the space vocally infer more in the nasal area?
And going through these intimately, and hearing him sooo into it and alive... Makes it seem like he's still here. Like how can he possibly be gone.
Yeah. He sounds like he’s directing the sound through his nose in “alone” and then moving it around throughout the phrase!
I agree so much with your comment. I've been a fan of a lot of artists who have passed, but none of them have ever made me feel like they are still completely alive like Michael does. When I listen to him, it is inconceivable to me that he is not here. He feels so utterly present. It's heartbreaking and incredible.
Great content keep the MJ videos coming. I’m a huge MJ fan & listening to these tracks is pure gold. So interesting to hear the process of how he recorded his songs. I’m also a singer & I’m learning so much from how you explain & breakdown everything✅🤝
Yeahhhhhh, this is what i wanted to hear!!!!!!! Tkxx Chris!! ❤️
Mate this is one of the coolest videos I’ve seen. Brilliant analysis and lots to think about as a singer. Thanks for all the stuff you put out it’s helped me loads
Glad you enjoyed it!
Those backing tracks!! Those backing tracks!!! So cool to hear isolated after 35 years... damn.. I dont think I ever heard the rhythmic guitar in the mix there's just so much going on...so that was cool.. similar to BAD... that rhythmic guitar gets drowned out with the millions of layers haha. Another cool video.
I'm so happy I found this channel. Long time mj fan. This episode is a gift. God bless chris.
Great analysis! This is my all-time fave MJ song! I can listen to the background vocals on the hook all day! I love how there’s a “Leave me…” on every other beat. Genius vocal arranging!!
the best video everr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you Chris
Oh snap he did it I was waiting for this thanks Chris ❤️✌🏾
Ive been waiting a long time for you to do this one, one of my most favorite ~MJ songs, thanks
Man I wish I had those original tracks thats cool
Loving these Micheal Jackson deep dives 👍 amazing
Thank you! I know this song so well, but I have heard so many new details!
yay :) !!
YES! So glad you are analysing this track. Thanks, Chris. Kindly, C.
Thank you so much!
