![FIRST TIME LISTENING! Michael Jackson - Billie Jean-The First Moonwalk [REACTION!]🔥](/img/n.gif)
As a teenager from the 80s I can tell you I was sitting in my living room watching this on TV. We went insane when he did that. Every kid at school was trying to moonwalk down the hallways! It was incredible everybody was raving over it. And if you didn't watch it or if you were not rich enough to have a VCR back then then you missed out on the most incredible Dance Evolution ever created. I believe this was the 25th anniversary of Motown.
Yea...lol...I was a little kid cause I was born in 81, and man, that's all we'd do, all day, every day fornyrs., was try to moonwalk, and twirl and thrust..."Heee~Heee"! Seriously.
I clearly remember that night. I was old enough to have a job and the next day EVERYBODY at work was talking about it, from the big boss on down.
Great memories!! Everyone waited around the TV waiting for Michael to come on
That's a fantastic story to learn cause I was born way after this aired, but according to my mom and aunts, they saw MJ do this for Motown 25 on live television and said the same it was the biggest thing to talk about after it happened. Times were so much different then, both for better and worse, but it's way worthwhile to listen to folks who experienced these big things during their time. Thank you for sharing that story! Michael will always be the biggest superstar to ever live.
This was the EXACT MOMENT that MJ achieved superstar status. RIP, MJ. Forever in our hearts.
Naw if it wasn't ben it was the live Pepsi commercial gone horribly wrong where he screams out tito my hair
Catherine O he was a superstar as a child
@dudewheresmyjunk what I should have added was by overcoming that adversity and bad press allowed him to reach mega stardom status calm down by the way
The pinnacle of his career was the Thriller album
With three backwards steps. Amasing, he made history that day!
When he hit that moon walk the crowd gasped like someone had just got stabbed. That's power.
This is when everyone stayed home and watched Award Shows TV.
This was the Jackson 25th Anniversary Special. Google it. It was great!
@@reginapontes5672 Motown. I think u got mixed up with the 30th Anniversary.
"Oh he's still black" hahahahahahah I haven't laughed that hard in a long time! You are gold Mr Video! Much love!!!
That was funny 😄
I had a neighbor who had Michael's skin condition ie vitiligo. It started showing on her neck and arms and within 10 years turned her pale white.
The finding never land case was just dismissed 😏 he was always innocent!
Me either!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I LOL at this too..LOLLLLL
I'm a metal head from way back.... But this dude was so incredibly talented. There will never be anyone can touch him.
Same 😂
Too bad he didn't realize how good looking he was at this time. RIP Michael, total talent.
His face got burned up due to an accident from a Pepsi commercial that's why he originally got surgery
Everyone has to admit, MJ was special. No one ever was or will ever be like MJ. He touched the heart of millions worldwide
I was AT THIS CONCERT!!!! I witnessed it LIVE that night!! One of the best memories I'll ever have!! 😍
Jennifer Hurlburt that’s GREAT! I used to watch any and every music/award show I could growing up! And we only had TWO channels. There was no internet no CZcams. I used to get mad watching because the audience was ALWAYS like frozen zombies and non reactive.
That is one to chalk up.
Ohh you lucky thing I was in England and had stayed up half the night to see this after live aid.
Watch the 1955 Bill Bailey original moonwalk on You Tube.
@@MultiLakewood Cab Calloway was back in 30s/40s he made it popular.
I remember watching this when it aired. I was in my grandparents living room. My grandmother, being the 2nd oldest person in the room and having never seen anyone dance like that in her life was in awe. My memories of this performance are of her on the edge of her chair, mouth agape in total amazement of what she saw. She then slapped her leg and said, "who told him he can dance like that?" She never stopped smiling while watching. Completely incomprehensible to her that someone thought of that dance.
Heck, I've still never seen anyone dance like that... Michael was incredible.
This is the best story. Thank you so much for telling it.
@@tarahill728 no, thank you for appreciating it! It brings me joy to think of a complete stranger maybe having a smile while reading about my grandmother. That is awesome!
@@lb1984 Grandmother's are so special. I miss mine everyday. They seem to get us better than our parents lol. Hold on to those memories. There is nothing more precious.
@@tarahill728 a good friend once told me that parents see their own mistakes in their children and are much freer to enjoy the grandchildren as they are, because they aren't responsible for how they turn out. Makes sense I guess.
Television was the only medium to see stars back in the early 80's (no internet, social media etc.) We had not seen MJ perform for a few years as he was busy recording his Thriller Album. This was our first time seeing him perform like this. We were all blown away. This was the first time the world was exposed to Michael Jackson. This was a special moment in history.
Eddie Van Halen did the guitar solo on Michael Jackson’s Beat It. Instead of asking for tons of money, he did it in exchange for a case of beer and some dancing lessons. He also completely reworked the middle of the song while MJ was taking a break. It’s Brilliant! ❤️
Michael Jackson "Thriller" was the #1 album of the year (featuring Eddie Van Halen's guitar solo in Beat It) and 1984 by Van Halen was the #2 album that year - Eddie was on the #1 & #2 albums that year - IT'S BRILLIANT!
5150Ripley yes he still holds the record for most Grammys. He won 8 in 2 hours. Most artist are lucky to get 2-3 in their whole career.
@@shandrag6329 True , Fun Fact - MJ is the most Awarded Artist in History.👑 ( 24 AMA & 12 Guinness world records... more.. )
@@shandrag6329 and that's just for the 1 album - Dominant
@@5150Ripley love the user name man!!
Yyyyaaaaassss lol
At 71 I'm still heartbroken of his passing. I remember watching this performance as it happened, and I still watch it in awe to this day. He was the ultimate!! Gone, but never will be forgotten. RIP Michael.
Even after Death and Inspite of so much False stories MJ has 70M Facebook Followers & Almost 20M CZcams Subscribers. It's more than most of today's famous celebrity who are alive (& doing their things) let alone the Dead one. And even after death he have made more records than anyone for ex. Michael Jackson’s Facebook was the First to Reach 10 Million Fans.
I know I’m aging myself but I watched this the night it aired! My entire family went nuts and we were all dancing! It brings back very fond memories. MJ was amazing that night and for years to come. My personal favorite is “Keep It In The Closet”! Thank you Leo!!
It's amazing how iconic this video is. Every single movement, every single gesture is iconic. Any time you see anybody imitating Michael's dance moves, they're imitating everything he does in this video. It's hard for people who didn't live through the 80s and 90s to understand just what an international sensation Michael was.
Fred Astaire, the great one of the 1930s and 1940s, said that Michael Jackson was a fantastic dancer, he was a big fan of his.
Michael would lock hisself in his dance studio and amongst others study Fred Astaires dancing. #STAYWILD
Check out the Nicholas brothers. czcams.com/video/_8yGGtVKrD8b/video.html Fred Astaire called this dance they did to a Cab Calloway number, the greatest movie musical sequence he'd ever seen.
We don't need Fred Astaire to tell us that Mike brings a sword to the dance floor to cut a rug 🤙🤙
@Shirley Bailey I agree as a MJ fan, Fred Astaire deserve much 💓 cuz. he was one of Greatest Dancer. Here is what he said about MJ :
"Oh God! That boy moves in a very exceptional way. That's the greatest dancer of the century. I didn't want to leave this world without knowing who my descendant was. Thank you Michael."
Man scientists couldn’t figure out the physics of his dancing!!!! 😂😂😂 he was a genius when it came to his art!!! That guy didn’t touch EARTH WHEN HE DANCED! 😃🤗🤘🏼
no earth but a shitload if boys
Stoop!!!! 😂😂😂

@@ProofCare Say It Again! ❤ 👏🏿
I was a kid when this aired. I remember there being so much buzz going around that Mike was going to moonwalk live...and watching it, the way he kept teasing it, building the audience anticipation...and then FINALLY hits it, along with two other classic Mike poses, all in a row. It blew the roof off. I remember thinking “how can a person just float like that, it’s magic!”
This is one of those videos, when I don't know if I should watch the artist OR Mr.Video reacting to the artist. 🤷♀️
Another great one!
IT'S BRILLIANT
Yeah, you've got to watch this TWICE to get the best of both worlds!
Lol me too! I have seen thus performance 100 times...still can't take my eyes off MJ
I agree with Cheryl, you always gotta watch twice 😂
Michael was born and made to be one of the world's most talented performers / artists. If that beat doesn't want to make you pop then you are dead from the neck down. He's someone I can binge on , watched a few hours of Michael on CZcams. Love your reaction. Yeah, he's great to watch as well, riveting !
The world went crazy when they first saw the moonwalk... I was 8 when this happened, and I thought it was the coolest thing ever!
I'm a metal head and yet MJ is still my all time favorite artist. There will never be another in my generation with that much natural talent. Incredible. I will always love him.
I was just watching Michael Jackson's "Thriller" during Halloween yesterday. He was such a brilliant artist, and a legend.
Michael Jackson’s song, “Beat It”, Eddie Van Halen played his guitar(Frankenstein) as a favorite to Quincy Jones. He didn’t want to take credit for it & then, the song & whole “Thriller “ album was so huge, everyone wanted to know who was playing the guitar solo on “Beat It”. The secret was let out.
Here is what Eddie said in 2011 -
"I said to myself, 'Who is going to know that I played on this kid's record, right? Nobody's going to find out.' Wrong!" he laughs. "Big-time wrong. It ended up being Record of the Year." And Considering the game-changing impact the song had on popular culture Eddie said in 2011 that "Beat It" is his favorite collaboration.
Eddie Van Halen concluded MJ was a musical genius with this childlike innocence. He was such a professional, and such a sweetheart.💖
Eddie told a funny story in an interview about right after "Beat It" came out. He was browsing in a record store while "Beat It" was playing in the store and he overheard some kids talking & saying something to the effect of "who the hell is this guitarist trying to play like Eddie Van Halen?" So, Eddie walked up behind them, tapped them on the shoulder and said "actually, that was me", and then walked away.
Can you imagine how those kids' heads were blown? LOL
I love that story.
Bayou Maccabee that had to have made their year. Lol
Who knew?!! Thanks for that nugget! 🙏
This guy is credited with the first moonwalk czcams.com/video/y71njpDH3co/video.html
We were all obsessed with MJ as kids !! I remember buying my Thriller album ... pants... jacket ... glove and learned a valuable lesson ... you CANNOT PERM NATURAL CURLY HAIR :) look like a bird's nest on my head for months !!
" Im closin my eyes the rest of the year" 🤣🤣🤣 Michael was magic!
The absolute talent of Michael Jackson will never happen again. Just a one man dynasty who could do it all. Makes me so happy too see his legacy still living strong after so many have tried to ruin him.
Eddie Van Halen played guitar on Beat It.
The solo. Steve Lukather (from Toto) did the rest (and actually part of the solo due to technical issues with Eddie’s recording).
@@MehOMy Wow amazing I never knew!!👏👏
Good call! EVH RIP.
Eddie did it for a case of beer and some free dance lessons! True story.
Eddie van said in 2011 that "Beat It" is his favorite collaboration.
He did the Solo while the rest of his Van Halen bandmates were out of town."I said to myself, 'Who is going to know that I played on this kid's record, right? Nobody's going to find out.' Wrong!" he laughs. "Big-time wrong. It ended up being Record of the Year."
Eddie Van Halen concluded MJ was a musical genius with this childlike innocence. He was such a professional, and such a sweetheart.💖
Eddie played on Beat It. Check it out.
Not only that, he restructured the middle of the song so it would work better for his solo. He was worried what MJ would think, but MJ loved it and thanked him for not just mailing it in, but actually making an effort to make the song better. I don't think he got credit for it either and didn't care, he just did it because that's who EVH was.

Yessssss!
@Brad What R U Gonna Do There is not enough credit given to Dirty Diana or the guitar in that piece.
Supposedly, Eddie dis the Beat It solo in one take 😲
I was a kid when this moment happened and when he did the moonwalk, we lost our minds. My brothers, white guys in parachute pants, were trying and failing to figure out how he did it. 😄 We had never seen anything like it before
I watched this when it aired 34 Springs ago, and everybody's jaws hit the floor! I was 18 at the time, and was excited because I watched "The Jackson Five" cartoon every Saturday morning in the 70s. I'm a metalhead, but MJ was a legend to younger baby boomers, and early GenXers. It brings tears to my eyes to watch him hit the Moonwalk every time I see it. I feel at a loss to describe his dancing, because it transcends human words! Love it! Eddie Van Halen didn't just play on "Beat It", he played on Janet Jackson's "Black Cat". Good stuff! 🤘💖
Don't close your eyes you'll miss the Moonwalk Mikey does, that Man could more dance moves than you can count 😁 damn he was smooth as glass when he was dancing.
I was sitting in the floor in front of the TV watching this happen and when I tell you no one saw this coming.....oh, man.
My dad was TRIPPIN tryin to figure it out.
You are correct to say there will never be another MJ...... The amount of talent this man possessed is off the charts. He innovated every part of music. Vocal arrangements, dancing, his band is the tightest shit around. If MJ doesn't give someone chills they may not be human.
Michael had such charisma and talented as hell... He made my body so confused, I mean I'd feel like crying, laughing, pooping, dancing,pull out my hair ..... Too much man!!😂
That searing guitar solo in Michael Jackson's Beat It is Eddie. Mike is awesome!
Yes !
I was about to say the same thing.
Two absolute legends together in one song. And Eddie did it for free too.
@@RareHarmony Yes, he would have no regret about the Fee since Eddie himself said in 2011 that "Beat it is his Favourite Collaboration". "I said to myself, 'Who is going to know that I played on this kid's record, right? Nobody's going to find out.' Wrong!" he laughs. "Big-time wrong. It ended up being Record of the Year."

RIP Eddie... 💗 💖 💘 💝 💟... 💔
I have no idea how you made it to your age without saying this but I'm certainly glad you did finally get to it
There will never ever be another Michael Jackson! RIP King!
I just love your reaction ! It will be only one Michael Jackson no one in the music industry even right now even though he has passed ! Won't be able to Touch Him !! The Greatest Entertainer !! Still is in the 🌍
I was twelve when this aired on TV and it was all everyone talked about for a week. He lost his popularity later, but this is where he claimed his throne, before this he was moderately popular with the RnB crowd, and people loved him as a kid in the Jackson five, but this performance cemented him in the charts for a decade. Most people, and I guess I mean middle white America had never seen anyone dance like this and the moonwalk looked supernatural.
@Brad What R U Gonna Do after the child sex scandals in the early nineties, and his reclusive nature, yes, in America, his popularity waned. He still has die hard fans, but a great percentage lost interest leading to his financial problems as well.
@@mikefetterman6782 Correct! That's why there was no promotion of Blood on Dance Floor ( the best selling Remix Album of all time but many of US folks are Stranger to this album even to this day) in US. But regarding his Financial issue the problem arises due to his extravagant spending Inspite of not working. After History he released his last Studio Album Invincible (6 years later in 2001) & never did a Tour , not to forget the Album Release coincided with his feud with Sony which stopped the promotion. Which followed by 2003 documentary & Subsequent Allegation that Resulted in 2005 Court Trial in which he was Vindicated ✌️. Rest is the History. So basically his active(at fullest) career was till 1997. Last 10 years of his life was a hell.
Then you have to talk why he "lost" his popularity, what I doubt. After the success of Thriller and buying the Beatles catalog the industrie and the media tried with all their power to destroy this man. No other artist or should I say no other man was treated so cruel and unfair. No other artist had survived the allegations in 1993 and hit the world with the masterpiece HIStory. No other artist had survived the allegations and trial of 2005, to come back, without having new music, no promotion to sell out 50 concerts in only a few hours. And don't tell me he was not popular in the US. Look what happened after he died. Some people wanted that he stayed for ever the dancer and singer of the Jacksons and Thriller and hated all the amazing things he did after Thriller.
@@lieschenm1069 I was talkng years after thriller and McCartney and he bought and sold the Beatles catalog back and forth a few times. When Jackson was broke he sold it back. I was not judging or knocking him, just by the late eighties his numbers in charts waned, his hits were less frequent and the reclusiveness and surgeries turned a lot of people away. Anyone can still be his fan if they want. I still like his older music. McCartney and the Widows own the Beatles catalog now and since the Anthology series came out twenty five years ago.
Heaven is filled with guitar riffs, dancing and alot great things.
Rest easy all you icons. ❤
Thank you for playing this.
Best and coolest human in history. Thank you to MJ for all the good deeds!
One of the most beautiful humans I've never met.

@Garner 164 MJ's AUTOPSY has CONFIRMED he had VITILIGO a condition characterized by patches of the skin losing their pigment along with it he also had discoid Lupus.Vitiligo's drastic effects on the body can cause psychological distress.That's why he used fair-colored makeup, and possibly skin-bleaching prescription creams,(Recommend by Doctors) to cover up the uneven blotches of color caused by the disease.The creams have further lightened his skin, and, with the application of makeup, he appeard very pale.Depigmentation causes a permanent and extreme sensitivity to the sun.( That's why he carried Umbrella). He also covered his skin disorder with clothing wearing long sleeves and long pants.

OMG HE'S STILL BLACK...I BUSTED A VEIN LMAO
I watched this on TV when it was LIve, with my good friend and her three young girls. We were electrified, and not just by Michael..just so many great Motown singers. I've never forgotten it. I loved Billie Jean even before this performance from the video.
Man, I could tell there was a moment in this reaction video when Michael's memory caught you in the feels and you had to compose yourself. I feel you bro, Michael's death, along with Prince were the two most recent celebrity deaths that hit me like a freight train. I think it did for everyone who grew up with those two geniuses. They were more than that....they were icons, legends!
Michael Jackson is a complete entertainer; he does it all, the singing, dancing; he writes his own music; Bill Bailey started the moon walk; Michael was an exceptional artist
Michael was also gorgeous at this time, handsome. Miss that younger Michael.
Michael Jackson was the Bruce Lee of pop music.
One word ok two PURE PERFECTION First time ever I found myself watching the video more then you the best of the best nobody will ever be to singing and dancing what Michael was simply the best RIP Michael and Eddie!!
Thanks for the memories. Can't believe the moonwalk was all of 4 seconds twice in the song and most American kids were enamored enough to imitate or at least try.
Never never pass up the opportunity to see a legend perform live. You don't know what tomorrow may bring.
Dude, I remember seeing this when it was first aired watching TV with my girlfriend and BOTH of us were enthralled and what the heck's the word? ignited! Holy Moses! AND! I met him in 1990 when I was working at Universal Studios working at Studio Stars restaurant, which was the flagship restaurant there. He was having lunch with Steven Spielberg and Macaulay Culkin in the VIP room, which was a small dining room off the main restaurant. I was what was called a Lead and he came into the server's station, by himself! white glove and all, and told me the VIP room was really hot and could I do something to correct it, he was right, that room was having AC problems, and could he have a bottle of spring water. So I brought him a bottle of water. He said Thank you and went back into the room. Despite all the weird rumors I found him a gentle soul so I've always had a hard time buying into all that crap.
Kinda makes you think About Elvis with that leg work ? 🤔
All people who worked with MJ said the same thing about MJ that he was a Gentle Childlike genius from Eddie Van Halen to Teddy Riley.
@@tammypearson989 Yes, kinda but fact is It's Even Older than Elvis but indeed Elvis Popularized this particular move.👑✌️
Michael! He was amazing! Even if in some performances he didn't sing live nobody would care because it's Michael Jackson, no one can dance like that and expect to sing live everytime! There's no other like him and never will be! Many inspired by him but they're not him!
Mike was like magic! Been a fan for over 50 years. Remember watching J5 cartoon as a kid and lucky enough to have seen him in concert 3 times. RIP 🐐
MJ , nuff said.....people genuinely talked about this for days after.....
MJ was just one year older than me and I fell in love with his singing and dancing the very first time I saw him. I heard on one documentary that he would watch street dancers and incorporate his choreography ideas with some of their moves, and of course he loved Fred Astaire. So glad you did this, love the reaction🥰
MJ used to 💓 a tons of Art & Artist Including Michaelangelo, Walt Disney & Charlie Chaplin etc.
One of the most epic moments in music history was Michael Jackson's first Moonwalk.
Mike had the moves!!
"Eddie probably met Michael Jackson" He did the guitar work in the song "Beat It".
Check out Michael Jackson at the Super Bowl sometime.
I'm 66 years old and I still can't get enough of Michael!!!!!! What an Entertainer he was!!! And still is through his videoes!!!! Still love him!!!
One of the best tv moments for me as a kid. My mom had the VCR recording which she still has her VHS tapes 😂
I was 18 when this happened. We all went crazy and spent the summer learning how to moon walk. Great memories!
That silence and at no more words was the perfect reaction bro!!! There isn't much that could've been said... I knew you was saying we lost a great one!!!
God its still so sad he's gone. My childhood was brighter with this moment on TV.
Motown 25 year special and he stole the show with this performance! Fred Astaire called him and asked how he did the moonwalk! Best dance and singer ever! Period
Michael Jackson is the King Of Pop and always will be! Eddie Van Halen played guitar in Michael Jackson's song Beat It! Hahahahaha the best reaction EVER!
My entire family was sitting in front of the TV watching the thriller video. It was epic!
"This could be special". You have no idea how special that moment was. I remember watching it in total awe and amazement. It was incredible.
I was lucky enough to see MJ Live at Wembley (UK) in the early 90s!
I’ll never forget that day. 🤩
“Oh, he‘s still Black”! LOL You’re too funny.
He was so handsome here!
I recorded the 25th anniversary of Motown, and then wore that VHS tape out! watching this over and over. Michael was done being a group and only agreed to do this special with his brothers if BG promised him a solo at the end. How can you have a Motown celebration without the Jackson 5? So, yes MJ got his spot. Michael may have come off all meek and mild, but he knew, he absolutely knew what he had and just how to drop his bomb on us!! Gene Kelly was watching that night and called Jackson after, his reaction was the same as all of the world watching that night "What the fuck was that???" Michael was beyond special, beyond talented, he was the King of Pop!
Wow, I never knew that you reacted to this performance 👍👍 this is definitely my favorite live performance of all time from mj because of it's significance
I truly believe that was the smoothest man that ever lived.
Leo- I just re-watched the 30th anniversary myself- My God! I forgot he moonwalks his “normal” way.. but also does it sideways and around in a circle with his feet! I swear it! His intro onto the stage- to huge ending to this one song performance is gonna make you EXPLODE for sure- I do everytime I watch it! I will comment this every video til you can react to that one- as much as you and we love him, you just gotta react, please- folks can come for me- I don’t give a damn-🤷🏼♀️ please, 30th anniversary- like perfection of an already great recipe- all that good seasoning!’ ❤️🤞🏼✌️✨
🎼🎼😀🎤Yeah the next day everybody in seventh grade was talking about this this was really a big deal on TV 🎶🎶🎶🎶
I remember watching this at 9yo on tv when it aired going wtf.... he did them so quick that people couldn't even figure out what he just did... fucking brilliant on his part... thats what made the buzz go on it because no one except a few even knew how to do it... then he spent the next two years doing 9438902132 interviews on how to do it lol... brilliant on his part... he was really gifted at this. he did the same with smooth criminal live when people didn't expect it live
He was brilliant, like Einstein of music
I will admit to occasionally doing a loose impression of the Moonwalk. There is only one Michael Jackson. Often imitated, never duplicated.
👊✌❤
I was watching the night this aired on television. It was a great tribute show that featured a laundry list of great artists, but this was a showstopper. Besides being one of the great songs off the album I believe this performance pushed the sales even higher on an already huge album. Of course Michael's popularity from this point on would change his life completely. Thriller was a defining soundtrack to the 80s and his music videos changed the face of Mtv permanently.
Yo!! I definitely "don't think twice" about listening to some Michael Jackson 🎶 And yeah the dude was most certainly top tier performer who could bring the masses together. 💯💯
I love ❤️ Michael Jackson always and forever
13:20 "He's still black"... 😂 Michael had vitiligo and he was burned in a Pepsi commercial in 1985 that burned his hair and scarred his scalp. I thin that is when he got secretly addicted to dysmorphia with his constant surgeries and addictions to pain medications. This is the 25th Anniversary to the Jackson's and Motown Music. I was 7 when he did this and saw it on tv...everyone at school was trying to do the moonwalk down the halls. 😂
This is mostly true but he stopped getting full rhinoplasties after the 80s, everything else was likely touch-ups due to his Lupus and makeup.
ye he was always black skin change dont mean he not a black male
You need to watch the 30th anniversary of the Jackson 5 and Michael Jackson TV special. OMG talk about intertainment lordy
do you mean the 30th anniversary in 2001?
@@blossoms256 yes and I thought I made the correction lol. Thanks for letting me know
30th! I am requesting the same- it’s soooo fantastic! This was too, of course- it’s MICHAEL!! Oh I hope he reacts to it! ✌️✨
Is there a way you can put 30th to correct it- I just wrote a chapter (damn near) on why he should react to the 30th- he just has to- I just re-watched myself and Mr. Video HAS to see it!! Soooo much more to that performance- he’ll flip out for sure!!I just want him to get as many requests for that one as possible and know we MEAN 30th!
Yeeeeeessssss!!!!!
MJ was another we will never see the likes of again. Ed played the Beat It solo. There is a great backstory to that session.
Nobody knew he was going to make that move! Not even the band. He shocked everyone!
I remember buying this cassette tape when it first came out at the rink's bargain City on Ketchum between stickney and Buckeye Street on the north end of Toledo. Michael was special thats for damn sure!
Mj has been performing basically his entire life, I agree with some other comments you should check him out when he was a kid with his brothers the Jackson 5.
The King of Pop!!!!! What a loss- he was loved by all- just so tortured inside. God Rest His Soul!
"oh, he still black." 😂🤣 You are the king of the reactions. Have a great day.
Loved him in his younger days and with Jackson 5. I enjoyed the Thriller album when he was older. Unfortunately, the drama from the media blocked out his other albums value. Michael was an absolute genius with music and I'll remember him that way, not what the media portrayed.
"When he died, I had known him for 31 years. I have 125 Grammy´s in my studio and taught over 300 celebrities for over half a century but Michael was the most amazing man. He was such a magnificient, innocent, but very missunderstand man. His message was that we are all one family. I really want people to understand who he was and how marvellous he was - not just as a performer but as a human being. Some people don´t choose to believe that. But the thing is: I was there!"

I see the media doing the same thing to Trump as they did to Michael.
@@shandrag6329 Please, Shandra do not compare them. People judge Trump for what comes out of his own mouth.
melinda I can compare them if I want. I judge people by their actions. The fake news media lies and people believe it because they don’t do any research. What has come out of Trumps mouth that you don’t like?
Shandra G Hm. Probably various racist statements that you probably agree with so don’t find racist. Not really up for debate that hate crime levels have increased in correlation with Trump’s campaign and election, and those who carry them out cite him as an inspiration. Also mocking the disabled, saying he would date his own daughter and grabs women by the p*ssy. Now where does any of that align with MJ?
1 - 0, Thanks you really make me smile
You should check out “Beat It”. The guitar solo in that song is from Eddie Van Halen. The studio monitors actually began smoking during the recording. He didn’t get paid anything for it. Also Michael’s album “Thriller” which has “Beat It” on it prevented Van Halen’s “1984” album from ever going to number one. Pretty damn ironic! Thank you for your videos! Keep it up!
May 16 1983! That day the whole world was gone crazy!
In the history of music will never be a great and magical day like this!
MJ as entertainer was in a class by himself. Definatly the greatest!! Check out his drummer, Johnathan moffett... one the best drummers ever...
the person who taught Michael how to do the moonwalk is Jeffrey Daniels who was in the group Shalamar and he was also a Soul Train dancer! Eddie van halen and Michael Jackson were good friends! Eddie played guitar for Michael on beat it. the guitar solo on that is EVH!
This has been disbuted by Michael "Boogaloo Shrimp" Chamber who says he taught Michael Jackson the Moonwalk. He was Turbo in the movie Breakin'
@@mr.goodenough3796 i know who he is but Jeff and MJ said he was the one who taught him,.
@@tanyadavis6921 Yes I too think so. But since MJ's name always opens the Pandora Box for publicity everybody wants to associate their name with MJ. Recently Bobby brown claimed he taught the MOONWALK.
Mj asked popn taco and boogalo shrimp to show him moves after they were filming a lionel richie video all night long. Pop n taco showed him pop lock and chambers showed him his moonwalk
@@markoconnor4110 then there is 2 people claiming to have taught MJ plus they have it that Jeff did it on wikipedia! whoever did thank u!
You are hilarious. I watched this live with my family. We were speechless. I will never forget it. A legend was born that evening. Music and performing were never the same.
Billie Jean is one of my favorite songs r.i.p Michael Jackson fire reaction bro
I watched this the night it happened
Im so glad that you and Eddie could watch the GOAT. I will say that I see a little of an Elvis influence in his dance. I got goosebumps on both my arms. It broke my heart when I heard Michael had died. We have lost many of the best artists this year. Sad.
@Karen Lee Yeah the leg move was Something Elvis also used to do & it's existed even before Elvis but indeed Elvis Popularized this one move .
The peak of performance art. Just does not get any better then this one. Rest in Power MJ.
I have been head over heels in love with Michael Jackson since I was just a little girl. I fantasized about marrying him when I was little, and had I been given half the chance I would've. This is when I thought he looked his best. He will always be one of my number 1 heartthrobs, but I thought he looked his best around this time(especially in We Are the World). Rest in peace Michael, and until we can meet in Heaven you will be severely missed.
