Chinese audience first time reaction to Michael Jackson - Smooth Criminal Live in Munich 1997 

Because of his talent, the industry milked everything they could get out of him until the very end. No one will ever compare. Rip Michael

That is why Michael Jackson is still the King of Pop.

Michael was 39 in this performance and still manages to out dance his young dancers. His dancers had to be replaced like every 3 to 5 years when they got older and slower but MJ kept his crisp moves til the end.

Michael was so talented!!! He could beatbox like crazy, he could draw really well, he was an amazing dancer of course, could dance like a robot, songwriter, amazing singer that could sing like an angel, and many people sleep on his acting!!! He discovered one of the most iconic girl groups Brownstone. He could do it all❤️ Forever a legend.

The Greatest Music Artist To Ever Live Period! He’s Truly The King Of Music Forever MJ's dance technique is unparalleled. MJ is on another planet overall. Not only was his technique incredible,but he had an unparalleled grace and fluidity that made him seem to effortlessly float on air. He had a presence never before seen & never since or will be equalled not to mention his singing is unmatched. He had the full package nobody will ever surpass this man from Childhood to Adulthood he dominated Music! The Greatest Singer & Dancer Of All Time!🙌🏽👑💙🔥✨💯(And you mentioned you couldn’t understand what he was saying MJ had different styles of singing this style is called “Staccato” Also doing “The Lean” you still need hella upper body strength to do it so not anyone could pull dat off in front of millions without there knees/legs shaking while leaning only MJ could pull dat that off tbh that’s why he’s The King!!!! And the idea he went for his background dancers and the story he was telling was basically he’s the infiltrator going into this 1950’s club MJ is Smooth but the true Criminals/Gangsters end up being the fellas he’s dancing with hence them getting shot down at the end by MJ cause they were in disguised all along and the ladies you see dancing represent just bystanders MJ is a Smooth Criminal but with this performance he wasn’t finding a certain Criminal etc. so you looked at the concept entirely wrong which is fine it’s your first time reacting to this specific performance And the girl who was born in the 2000’s is absolutely right MJ’s path of being The King Of Music isn’t even legal to replicate anymore and never will be basically he didn't have any formal composition training, though one could say he was trained harder than any other performer by his father MJ had nothing but God Given Talent and learned from the greats to become greater often imitated,but damn sure never duplicated Please React to Michael Jackson “Beat It” Live In Bucharest 1992 4K”)

Spectacular reaction to my favorite artist of all time! Crazy that he was 39-40 years old here. More MJ!

It was written by Michael and produced by Michael and Quincy Jones. The lyrics address a woman who have been attacked in her apartment by a "smooth criminal." The refrain Annie are you ok?" was inspired by Resusci Annie a dummy use in CPR training.

React to Michael Jackson Rock with you live Yokohama 1987

His concerts were amazing to see in person. Costume changes, extravagantly choreographed, with custom mixes of songs. Concert tracks used to be rare and worth lots of money for collectors. Many musicians back then would often create unique 'concert' arrangements that you would typically only hear during their concerts. Sometimes they would release them into special LPs, other times there would be bootleg copies of the concert tracks that would get circulated amongst collectors and super fans. But concerts back then were a show, and not every musician could put on an amazing concert. Great reaction.

God Of Music, MJ’s songs just hit different where in any era in time it’ll always be good to listen.

hey I'm very excited to share this with you --- MICHAEL JACKSON WROTE 95% OF HIS "BAD"album.- isn't that awesome, like all the hits everything he is the true artist, he is involved in production, dance, style, lights, he is all package. like "BAD" for example, almost every song was written by him

I swear to God, if there was a God of Music, Michael Jackson was literally the avatar of the God of Music.

In case you're wondering how he did the lean watch at ...7:48, they wear special shoes that have a negative space to slide into those metal bumps on the stage to allow them to learn. It's even more incredible that they were all about to do it at once with perfect timing in the choreography.

From my childhood, in my opinion Michael Jackson during that era was probably one of the few true artist that could sing and dance extremely well at the same time especially his LIVES. It still makes me angry knowing that people still look down on him negatively because of what darn tabloids say about him just for being unique and different.

the King of pop

There's nothing wrong with this performance, it's perfect 😏

Whatever issues Michael had, he was an AMAZING performer. Crafted his art to damn near perfection on earth.

I saw Michael live - this tour - History....yeah, yeah, I saw the golden pants really close, I was near the stage. :D It was out of body experience. Till today it seems like a dream.

I loveee this reaction Sooooo much . I really hope you guys keep reacting to him cuz they're so many different performances . Can u react to Michael Jackson 10th MTV anniversary next pls 💖

RIP Michael. Thank you for providing the soundtrack to my childhood.

How many songs did Michael Jackson write on the Bad album? 9 Bad was the 3rd and final album collaboration between Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones. Michael wrote 9 out of 11 songs on the album tracks and was the co-producer for the entire album.

MJ❤ Greatest artist of all time

4:20 You mentioned about the drums for this song. Oddly enough, MJ's longtime drummer, Jonathan "Sugarfoot" Moffett has a RU-vid channel where he uploads videos of him playing the songs he used to perform with Michael. He said that MJ loved how his drumming perfectly accented his dance moves, like at 8:30 with the cymbals & the scoot.

i am an 80s kid and for me, michael was like a substitute father as a positive influence in my life and he taught me compassion for nature and the world and i went vegetarian when i was 7 because of him

I love your reactions guys, pls do more reactions about michael jackson he is a legend

Michael is really a master of his craft. I highly recommend his performance of Billie Jean in Kuala Lumpur 1996, you'll know why when you watch it.

Michael IS the greatest! No doubt about that. The other artist that wrote, produced, sang all of his music, was Prince. Prince also played all of the instruments, sang lead and backing vocals and put it all together himself. (His first two albums). He incorporated others for obvious reasons, including of course live performances. Check out Prince soon, please. Great reaction, I like your channel. Peace

You can Reaction Michael Jackson Human Nature This is It 2009....

First I’m 65 yrs old. I’ve always admired Michael but not a fan. Years ago I saw that lean forward trick and never new how it was done. I racked my brain for years. I think Michael had died and I watched a documentary on him. And, they showed how they did it because was done by a group not just a Michael trick. Of course he invented it. Remember this no matter the trick all the dancers had to be trained physically to do it. Ther were some kind of clips on the floor that they stepped into. And the heels of the shoes had to be special made to fit in the clips for them to be stationary. I’ve thought about it when I say their legs and feet had to be trained to hold the weight of their bodies at that position. I would say his dances were almost as good as him. Michael was a perfectionist. He did it in the video to but here he is doing it live. I believe this is the trick that had the lights in the square tiles that lit up at night as he dance Solo on top of them.

this young man as soul. enjoyed your vid and the trip back to my past. michael will never be forgotten.

This old man recalls the early 1970s 'Jackson 5' animated cartoon TV series, in which the whole family had a role. Michael was then just the youngest member of the band, and sometimes an animated version of him would dance, but he wasn't then the focus. There were usually two or more songs per episode back then. A parallel was a similar 'Harlem Globetrotters' animated TV series that was on TV in Britain at the same time. Both were very popular with kids.

No one ever has been able to move just like him and never will! Some get close but none master!

Can we all appreciate how he was in his 40’s here

👍👍👍thank you, cool reaction from New Zealand. Dimash & Lara fabian and King MJ fan.

His shows were so thought out. He was so different to everyone else more like a theatre experience. He is missed.

no one will born Again like mj..he is king of dance and pop song

10:19 you got it girl. This has to be Music that make your body and mind move . I am glad you understood that. 🥰😍

Greatest entertainer of all time!

Greatest Entertainer Of All Time....

o maior cantor de todos os tempos, nunca haverá outro igual.

Mimi you are absolutely right ..the music of this song has a lot of sadness which reflects the actual MJ personality with all his suffering from not having a normal childhood, racism, to the keen attempts to destroy him , but still he remains the most famous person on the planet earth.

1976 born andf I grew up with MJ and ET, Star Wars and all the greart sitcoms. MJ is a phenomenon not a man. I really believe we needed him at this time in the mid cold war. We needed a badass and he was that.

My favorite song and video of his of all time. The outfits and song are based off the 1920s prohibition era in the United States. When they do the infamous lean, watch the guy in the front to the right of MJ .... you can see his shoe get stuck coming out of the lean. There is a whole video of how that lean is done. Greatest artist of all time. His concert in New York in the early 2000s with his brothers and other artists was so big that people were taking loans out on their homes to get tickets. His dancing insirpation was Fred Astaire.

Smooth Criminal is one of my fav tracks The base line, the guitars, the tempo, the change in rhytme, its an absolute banger that din't age a single day in over 30 years. Its something that you notice when you listen to his songs, beginnign with Thriller album, is that ALL of his songs were actually quite in advance for their time. The Off the Wall Album was still pretty much 80's Pop/Disco/Funk, but after that, its quite hard to actually place a date on MJ's songs. And his vocal range was ENORMOUS, be it on High notes or on lower notes. I really love it when he's singing in a smoother and mellower tonality, like in the Libean Girl or Who is It.

MJ truly is the king of music, his lyrics, the choreography, it all blends and fist into his unique style

Girl on blue is so bubbly and joyful. Love her

he does really sing through the whole song, it's just that you cannot hear him, what you can hear is the playback, the playback is *exactly* the album vocals, but mixed differently (ex. the background vocals are softer) but when you can actually hear his voice is at the end, before the backup dancers get sparkle'd (or shot down)

He created everything

Fr.. he is to cool. King of pop🥇👑

Michael Jackson cool dance 🕺

MJ , the king ❤️🔝

One of my favorite dance songs of all time. Whenever I hear it, I can't avoid singing and TRYING to dance along.

There are nothing near of what Michael did before today. Music missis him forever.

As a former active paramedic I can tell you that the resuscitation dummy really was called Rescue Anne

when an artist passes and the world cries, you cant put a number on that.

Do more mj live performances

There is a reason his the greatest singer, dancer to have ever lived and will ever be.

Michael is the definition of talent he wrote his music he created beats he beatboxes what come to his mind and create the beat he is a legend React to Michael beatboxing complition

Michael Jackson is dance king he can dance and sing I love his all songs RIP king of pop Michael Jackson

I was blessed at 6 years old to see Michael Jackson live in concert, he was my first album aswell. He set a high standard in performance for me. He is such a pure soul that the world didn't deserve. I miss him so much and wished we got to see his last tour before he passed to see the greatness that he was to the world Rest in Love MJ x

A LEGEND!

Mike set the world on 🔥😏 nice reaction!

THE KING AND LEGEND ALWAYS

More MJ!! Greetings from Germany! ✨

The goat 🐐. React more to MJ.

I really enjoyed your reaction to this!! It's very encouraging!!

The songs from MJ are so good...Can't believe it

as a little girl, i went thru a tomboy phase and was obsessed with michael to the point i could evwry move of his peefectly and people called me lil michelle. strangers who didnt know thought i was a boy. but i was extremely shy like him which was what moved to him who was very sinilar but i stopped dancing mj moves the moment someone started saying i was an impersonater. anyways... mj is inspiring.

Best reaction I have seen, you guys appreciate every detail! :D

I grew up in the 70s and loved his off the wall album 1981

😎 Loving your reactions and honest emotions. thanks for appreciating this Legendary artist. 💜💯👊

The best artis of the history. Cingrats, great reaction, God bless u

Great reactions you three!

the story is actually very understandable once you watched the full "smooth criminal " film

love your guys' reaction! truly felt like i was jamming with my buddies

I like how the girl in the blue is totally into it !! 😂 I need friends like her!

I was very lucky to go to his concert in 96 when I was 10 it was so dope live!

❤❤❤ yalls reactions and insights

He could sing, write songs, compose, act, paint, beat box, play drum and piano, choreograph, and much more

Epic reaction vid, enjoyable from start to end. I saw Michael perform live at Wembley Stadium when i was a young lad, the energy & atmosphere was on a whole other level. Soon as Michael stepped out on stage, everybody around me was losing their minds, people were passing out left & right & were being carried out by paramedics. Was actually really scary, my first thoughts were what's happening, why are so many people dying etc, wish people would stop screaming as i can't hear Michael sing. Once people calmed down a bit, everybody held their lighters up & started singing along. Was incredible! The amount of love, magic & excitement Michael created that day will never be beaten. Everybody's problems instantly vanished & the whole crowd became 1 big family. It's crazy how 1 man, 1 mic & 1 song can have such a positive effect on thousands & thousands of people all at once in such a short amount of time. RIP Michael, my idol forever, hope he's smashing it just as much again in his next chapter 🙏❤️

He is the king of pop

I love MJ forever please react they don't care about us live please more mj

I'm just really impressed ya'll have taken the time, effort and interest into dissecting and learning about the culture.

Michael dance just soo charismatic

Michael Jackson dangerous... Live..#dangerous. 🌹 ✨ 💞

His shoes were attached to the floor. That’s how he can lean forward so much. Smooth criminal is a great song.

This was the first thing I saw your video and all of you are entertaining and fun great job

We appreciate you guys we love you very much and remember we function as one we are One

Not only is that an amazing performance by Michael Jackson, but I love your guys' reactions. :)

The true GOAT of pop he was an amazing one of a kind person that entertained inspired and touched the lives of millions RIP Michael the world misses u

King of pop ❤

Because he started singing in competitions at 5 y o, people think he has talents. No, through hard work, he became who he is, the KING OF POP. For those of you who never read his biography, Moonwalk, he wrote in the book, "I used to look out the window at the recording studio, and watch other children play outside, when I and my brothers was working." Never forgotten. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

An to think this was him outside of his prime an it was still amazing

Loved your video. Do more Michael Jackson reactions please 😍

MJ forever....
