michael jacksoooooon ...
i remember as a kid "im older than you maggie." playing on the giant 4 player arcade joysticks while having fun gaming on "moonwalker" aka smooth criminal by michael jackson!!!
yeeees dear old michael has a video game out back in 80-90s era
They are all ghosts in the club....
You Are Not Alone should be the next one
Stranger in Moscow /who is it they both are very beautiful music videos
You need to watch the movie "MOONWALKER" then you know where it is from. 😉
Greatest music artist ever. This is NOT debatable!
I would say Pavarotti is number 1 but Michael is the greatest pop artist.
Just to clear up, for the video, cables and harness systems were used for the lean but in live performances Michael patented a system in the 90's which allowed bolts to come up from underneath the stage to hold the shoes down whilst the lean was performed then retract back into the floor once the move was completed.
Yep called a stage hitch! He patented it
Even in the video they had the same system they did with the dangerous tour - I saw a documentary
That seems like it takes a ridiculous amount of precision to stand in the exact spot, or get there naturally. Rehearsals must’ve been hell 😂
@@RagnarLoudpak that’s why sometimes MJ had some few stage fails with the lean
Not invented by Mike, magicians have used that for years.
I am not embarrassed to say I miss his creativity his zest, and all around music that he gave the world.
One of the most ICONIC music videos EVER
Correction: "short films," as MJ would say 😁🙌🏽💖💞🌠🔥🙆🏽♂️🎬
Michael patented a special shoe and floor system for the lean. The heels have a notch cut in them to match up to a leg in the floor
Here’s an interesting fact: Jackson’s familiar refrain of “Annie, are you OK?” carries more meaning than just the narrator asking a question. The line is inspired by Resusci Anne, the name of the model of doll used to teach CPR. Jackson combined the question trainees learn to ask, “are you OK?” with the name of the doll to create the iconic line.
I'm turning 55 in a couple of weeks and Michael Jackson's classic videos still give me goose bumps when I watch them.
Michael was a genius and not just musically. He understood the new world of music videos and used it not just as something to look at while listening. He made it a coherent whole, telling the story of the song with sight and sound and dance and just utter creativity. You originally thought MJ was just scatting? I thought he was singing Annie are you walking? 😆 Terrific video! Thank you Trixie. And super great reaction, Maggie! 🕺🏽
Thank you!! 💖🕺🏽
The lean was done with special shoes that have a v notched into the heal.
They slide the heal into a v that is screwed to the floor. The v in the floor holds the shoes to the floor. They are not nailed.
And ofcourse michael and his dancers were in excellent physical condition to perform the stunt.
And it's an invention by Michael, who has also applied for a patent for it.
Those shoes were made for his live performances, not for the short film.
Yep!! Saw these boots at the exhibition after MJ passed away, truly ingenious!!!
@@melaniemagdalene1616no they weren’t, it was for the film
@@GA-ik6pi No, the shoes were made in 1992. They used ropes for the short film.
Michael Jackson is the greatest musical performer of all time period. 😊
14:20 michael hits the "dab" several times in this music movie and no one notices or talks about it lol
His talent was out of this world!
One of the greatest music videos ever made. The choreography was more difficult than any modern dance number today. Nothing even comes close. That amount of rehearsal and preparation is rarely matched today. His videos had a quality and a magic that has never been duplicated. There was only one MJ.
This is also only a small portion of a longer video. The full video is over 15 minutes long and tells a small story. You should find the full length video when you can.
You can find the diagram and patent on the shoes they were using where the heal hooks into an anchor (nail) in the floor to be able to lean and then unhook at will making a smooth transition. He's used this in live performances as well thus disproving the "cable" theory.
this if from the film "Moonwalker," a full hour & 1/2 movie w Joe Pesci as the BBEG
For me, this is the best video in music history.
I'd give it to Thriller. It's release was a cultural moment.
Man! I'm glad i lived on MJ timeline. Those times were amazing 😊
From now on, it will be: "Annie, Biddy Boo-key, Annie Biddy Boo-key." for me. Great reaction.
WTH?? 😂
LOL I LOVE AND APPROVE OF THAT WITH ALL MY HEART!
She made me feel like I was watching the video for the very first time - great reaction, and her opera voice is out of this world, great stuff!
It's from the Moonwalker movie MJ did
Its from the michael jackson moonwalker movie...
He did this song on the Grammy awards
My mum cried for a day when he passed first time I seen her so passionate I didn't know what she was crying about just got home from work what a shame he had a lot more to share all my love to his family for mj
My mom still remembers his bday and passing each year... my middle name is Michael cause of this man... RIP MJ 🙏🏽
Nothing but raw talent 💯🔥
Cables were used in the video. In the concerts later, nails were used in the floor.
The choreography in this video is as top notch as any of his movie like videos (IE Thriller) You just love to watch it over and over.
Wonderful reaction! I think this is his best work ever. I think before he died, he was working on a masterpiece to top this one, but we never got to see it. My fav song of his is Man In The Mirror, but this is his best vid. Even better than Thriller, which was good, but this is great!!!!
Thriller was iconic, but smooth criminal is a masterpiece without a shadow of a doubt!!! 🎇✨️👑
This is a scam
What you may not know is "The inspiration for Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" video: Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse in Band Wagon (1953)."
"Annie, are you okay? Hey Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, ANNIE?!"😮
The heels of the shoes have slots in them. They slip over bolts in the floor. Then they lean forward. You have to have a strong core to maintain the straight body while leaning.
If you had seen this performed at one of his live shows you would know that the lean was not done with cables. It had to do with the shoes attaching to something of the stage floor. The trick was that he and his dancers could attach and detach instantly. It was not obvious to the audience that this was taking place.
The anti gravity lean will always be one of my favorite MJ moves
I like the coin sailing into the jukebox.
“Annie, are you OK?” carries more meaning than just the narrator asking a question. The line is inspired by Resusci Anne, the name of the model of doll used to teach CPR. Jackson combined the question trainees learn to ask, “are you OK?” with the name of the doll to create the iconic line.
I was 7 when this video came out. I watched it on MTV with my parents and sister. All waiting impatiently in full anticipation of what it could be and were blown away. Good memories.
In the Smooth Criminal music video they used wires. When performed live on stage it was shoes with special hooks into the stage with Anti-Gravity machines.
came for the music, stayed for the dancing. Has to be my favourite Jacko video for both song and the choreography. This and Remember the TIme.
His name's not Jacko, it's Jackson. Jacko is an offensive and hurtful nickname.
Edit: It would seem that you're the one who got their panties in a bunch. I'd suggest you look up "Wacko Jacko", then continue your pointless tirade.
@melaniemagdalene1616 wow chill out who got your panties in a bunch?! Jacko is not offensive or hurtful, it's merely a shortened version of his surname, just like Mel is a short version of Melanie or Chris is short for Christopher or Christian, Mike is short for Michael, Jules short for Julian or Julianne etc etc...need I go on?? Or are you going to crawl back to your hole once you realise you made a mountain out of a mole hill and took this way out of proportion?
@@shanklinkay Looks like you're the one who got their panties in a bunch. Look up "wacko Jacko" and then come back to me.
@@shanklinkay Seems like you're the one who got their panties in a bunch.
@melaniemagdalene1616 I do know the term wacko jacko...I was born and raised in the 70's! And before you start spouting "going off on tirades!" I never used the term wacko did I? No I don't believe I did.
And even if I did you do realise you can have the utmost respect for someone and still make fun of them, where I come from its called ribbing, in other parts of the world its called banter.
As said I was born in the 70's, I listened to Michael Jackson both solo and as part of the Jackson 5. I loved every song he released because I respected him as an artist. What he did in his private life was just that....private and didn't deter me in the slightest as to his quality of music. He is still (postumously) one of thr best artists in the world. Does that mean I can't poke fun at him?(i didn't but you are free to speculate in your own weird way!) Yes I can. Is it disrespectful? No, because for some that is how they show their respect.
If you cannot have broad shoulders in life, then don't put yourself out there.
Rantful tirade over!
The Alien Ant Farm cover of Smooth Criminal is an incredible rock love letter to the original.
Your reactions are so wonderful! 😎
Thank you!! 😁
Its a great movie you will ❤ it
Hi mam.maggie every song that he sing he blows my mind❤❤❤ mj thanks from philippines. God bless you always ms.maggie
ponders the concept of operatic dance choreography
It's cables for the video, then he went on to patent nailed shoes for live performances.
The greatest song artist and video of all time
This music video is actually a portion of a short film/movie that MJ did called "Moonwalker". It's about 90min, but worth it. 1 of a few albums that i know of where the artist did this ("Yellow Submarine" is Sgt Papper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by the Beatles, "Interstella5555" is Daft Punk's anime movie from the 80s)
I'm not a big Jackson fan, but you made this worth watching.. your reactions during the video were great.
The song Billy Jean also has a change.
I remember:
Mama always told me be careful what you do
Currently he sings
MOTHER always told me.
Love your reactions
When the window breaks and everything goes weird? Ever since I was a kid, I would always like to think that the Magic fills the club with MJ. When the window broke all the Magic left. But MJ can produce the magic and they beg him to do it. He opens his arms and the chord plays, then he agrees (nodding) and then everything starts to get reanimated and BOOM. Magic time.....yeah, I saw the whole movie Moonwalker more than a few times when I was a kid. This whole video is a short piece of a short film at the end of it. MJ's getting hunted by people who want to addict the kids to drugs. Then he turns into a robot, kills the bad guys, turns into a spaceship, and leaves. Yeah, that happens. I used to LOVE that movie. I am unashamed.
PS: Watching the subtitles try to keep up with MJ's awesomeness was beautiful. Maggie, you're a treasure!
Checkout the movie. 80s to the MAX. MOONWALKER I think. And bonus! Joe Pesci as Villan before Home Alone
In all seriousness I actually thought the same thing about the intro. It’s the way the bright strings swell and crest. Always one of my top MJ tracks.
ADD ON THE LIST
The Jacksons - 2300 Jackson Street (Featuring Michael Jackson, Rebbie Jackson, Marlon Jackson & Janet Jackson) (Music Video) (1989)
Michael is and was a legend! And no he nerver was what they tell you about him. RIP legend
The heels of his shoes were cut to have a V shape in them to hold the heads of the bolts in place
This is a small part of the movie “Moonraker”
'Moonwalker'
'Moonraker' was James Bond.
... Damn you, Autocorrect?
🎉🎉🎉😊
They didn't use cables, its special shoes that have notches in them to connect to part of the floor where they slide out of it. It still requires a good amount of strength to pull yourself back up after leaning forward.
Fun fact: Annie is the name of a CPR dummy, and the tempo of the song 🎶for the "Annie are you okay" is the tempo for CPR 😅
Creepy fact: the face of Rescue Annie is a copy of a 19th century drowned woman’s death mask.
Fantastic reaction Maggie! So glad you love MJ as much as I Ido!
👍🥰👍
The dance choreographer who taught Michael his moves was named Mike Gray, look him up, he was in a few of Michael's videos, an amazing dance choreographer.
You should watch the whole movie, Moonwalker. As its all music video type of thing it can be a bit difficult to follow the story, so to speak, but still worth a watch.
The movie is called Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker. I think it was from 1988 at the height of his bad album.
Michael Jackson has a US patent on a shoe device. It allows the shoe to slide into a lock fitting on the floor, then the performer has to have the strength to lean over and pull themselves straight, then slide out of the lock.
This video was shot during his feature length movie "Moonwalker", and is in the movie. It includes a song where it changes into claymation, and a scene he turns into transformer.
Watch the AAF cover of this song
A great MJ tribute
Yeah, you go watch the kids, we're gonna watch the actual adults here.
This is from the movie moonwalker it was a short movie commissioned by Michael himself at least that is how I remember from when I was a kid
❤A bit of news-Mike always wanted to act, create/write & produce movies. He tried to buy Marvel to no avail but hired a movie maker in 2008 to teach him+ 3 kids, then A.E.G.entered his world & was abused by his doctor & passed on in 2009. His dtr. Paris is an actress/model/singer, son Prince continues MJ’s legacy with a charity ‘Heal L.A. Foundation’, & young son Bigi won BEST DIRECTOR(APR 2024) SHORT FILM at the Santa Monica Film festival. I am certain Michael is proud of all three of his children ❤Rest In Peace Michael❤
This man is the and only reason why i love to sing and Dance soooo much to a point that it has become an obsession May Applehead Rest Easy
❤l just looove your reactions & you singing along to Michael + you are a looker=beautiful!!!❤
Fun fact: Smooth criminal is the only short video/film of MJ's that features the moonwalk 🎩💯🎯🔥🤍🌠💙👊🏽😁
Great reaction ❤
Should do a MICHAEL JACKSON marathon.
You’re awesome 😎
Keep it up 👍
Yes! Now my day is complete
A lot of people get confused about the kids and the kidnapping of the girl but this 10 minute video is only a snippet of the Smooth Criminal short film. The original video for Smooth Criminal is over 40 minutes long. Michael was a great short film creator as he believed in a story around the songs and the lyrics.
7:51 - priceless emotion! 😆
Incredible movie. Michael was amazing. ❤❤❤❤
I always liked MJ's songs, and then I saw the movie, which is really very entertaining, in fact, those are scenes from a movie, called Moonwalker, and he performs several songs, like smooth criminal, speed demon, Bad, among others, more songs, I hope that one day you can react to it.
Greetings from Mexico.
I think they nailed and hooked the shoes to the floor. He's done this live too.
Michael Jackson actually created and has patent on those shoes.
The reason it looks like a movie is because it was. This video was part of his movie Moonwalker
So what was Jackson's secret? The special shoes. There is even a 1993 patent filed, among others, by Jackson himself, according to which these shoes were equipped with a heel slot specially designed to slide the foot forward.
All these years, I actually thought he was asking "Eddie are you okay"?? Lol
I never saw a jukebox box that started playing by just inserting a coin. You then have to select the songs you want to hear by selecting their corresponding letter & number. 😊
So!!??
this video is actually part of the movie Moonwalker, I highly suggest you watch it.
This portion of the video was modeled after Fred Astaire's movie The Band Wagon
Michael Jackson literally invented a device to pop through the floor and the shoes fit on this thing and they can lean . I don't know if it was used in just the video it may have been just at concerts but MJ had a patient and everything .
This is my all-time favourite MJ track!
The beginning of the vid is from the movie 'Moonwalker'
I like Michael jackson
FLAWLESS CHOREOGRAPHY!!!!!😤
Apparently, this song was inspired by Richard Ramirez. The lean was hooks into the heels. He did it live so it wasn't cables
Second best music video by Michael Jackson ever behind thriller
This clip is based on the Girl HUnt Ballet sequence from the musical The Band Wagon (1953) with Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse. Many of the dance movements are copied from that sequence.
I always thought he was singing "Annie are you walking..."
I think your voice is amazing! You have amazing voice by the way keep doing your thing! God bless you!
The reason that video was so cinematic is because it's from his movie Moonwalker. If you never seen it I would suggest taking a peek. Great movie, great reaction😁😁
those were called a Nano too. just a different version. i have one still and it works fine. hard to charge though cause it has a proprietary apple cable.
Powerful remote activated magnets under floor and heels of the shoes?
Notice that when they do the inclination and return back they slide one foot first and then the other...that is to remove the nails that were in the buried floor that the sole of the shoes grabbed
I was a fan of his music back in the day, this was my first, or second favorite song of his. Eventually, i'll be going to be playing a game to where being a smooth criminal is on a daily basis (killing people, running them over, traffic accidents, etc.) for my 800 + followers on PS4. I've been watching the high quality 4K version of this, to where it's brighter, and much cleaner.
I'm sure this was previously posted, but this video is straight from his movie "Moonwalker"
It's not a movie. This is what music videos looked like in the early days of the MTV/VH1 era. Because they all fought for attention (= sales), most hired movie directors and producers to shoot the videos. As for the lean, there were hooks on the floor that hooked their heels and they stepped out of to keep dancing
I am probably wrong - but the movie you need to see is MOONWALKER - I think that was the movie this clip taken from.
His videos were always epic!
There was a music movie done by Michael Jackson - and this was cut from that movie. It was one big story and many songs
No, cables were not used at all for "the lean". Michael Jackson actually holds a patent for special shoes designed with a hooking mechanism under the heal. Nails pertrude from the floor and the dancers simply slide their feet forward to hook the heads of the nails into their heal. This anchors them so they can lean as far forward as possible without falling. When back upright, they simply slide their feet back to unhook themselves, then the nails are retracted back into the floor. This effect was also performed live on stage throughout his concert tours and even broadcast live on televised performances (such as his Live in Bucharest concert that was aired on HBO back in the 90's and is now available on CZcams). However, even with this technology employed, the move is still very straining and painful on their backs, and there have been instances where it failed to work perfectly. So in the end, it's still an amazing feat for a dancer to pull off.
