FIRST TIME WATCHING Remember The Time - Michael Jackson | REACTION 

Super great reading seph 🌹🌹🌹 I think it's obvious why this one is one of my favourite short films at all ( I'm Egyptian if u still remember 🥰) The Egyptian vibe was amazing here✨✨ ... For your note about cats ... Yeah , ancient Egyptians had so many statues for giant cats as they can get rid of insects and kill snakes like cobra for example... This is one Egyptian information... For me this video was amazing especially the Egyptian set and the eyeliner they used in Egyptian way ( i sometime use it but not that long hahaha ) but for me it had 2 historical faults... But it's Michael's video after all For the music video There is alot of facts .... So i will tell u some of them now 😊😊 1) Michael was so influenced by the movie " ten commandments" and he designed the outfits for himself and the crew 👏👏 2) this is the first time Michael wore complete wig ... So his hair look like Egyptian wavy hair which was perfect 3) the queen... Her name is iman and she was supermodel at a time and she said that Michael was too humble and made her feel so comfortable in the set ... And he had a great sense of humour 😂😂 4) this video included so many famous people like Eddie Murphy and magic Johnson 5) at the end of the short film the guards spoke something in Arabic " هيدا هو ... يلا هاتوه " Which means " that's him ... Bring him right now " i think u didn't notice that These are some notes Tell me what u think about them Have a great day 🌹🌹🌹

Now you understand why everyone was asking you to react to this!! That's why I love Michael's short films it's so unpredictable you never know what he's gonna do next!! It's always soo entertaining like a movie ❤❤

The Queen is played by Iman Abdulmajid (Bowie). A very successful model in the 80s, she is from Somalia.

Remember Michael loved magic and fantasy and transformation magic dust and stuff so this is all in one lol literally Michael magic! He waa always soo creative! Innovative!!

The lady is the supermodel Iman. She was married to David Bowie until his death.

I audibly squealed when I saw you'd reacted to this! Everyone in the comments being like, told ya so 😂

I think she was David Bowie's wife until he died in 2016

Yes this was his very first time kissing on video lol

one of my favorite michael short films, maybe my favorite one??? tbh I don't know, it's soooo hard to choose. the song, the dance, the cinematography, this kiss!!! so perfect

Omg Seph please stop being so adorable 😭😭😂😂 love this sooo much ❤️❤️❤

Michael and Eddie were good friends! Michael even made a song and video with Eddie as a thank you cause he appeared on this video called "Whazupwitu" it's nothing serious but just a very fun funny song and random video with lots of effects lol you should check it out I think you might like it actually 😂

You have no idea how big of a deal this video was when It premiered in the 90s. It was almost as big of a deal as thriller was in the 80s. News channels, freaking news channels were showing MJs videos! They wanted to cash in on MJs popularity and exploit it for ratings. It wasn't just music channels that aired his videos. The premiere would be announced for weeks and weeks building anticipation. It was a worldwide event

yes finally! also i really hope you react to the Jackson’s American dream movie here on youtube eventually

i've heard that this shortfilm is the respond from MJ to hollywood after they rejected his idea to create a movie where Egyptians were all black, the way it should be historically

Lol u are adorable ! The guy yelling out was magic Johnson, the queen was Supermodel Iman ( David Bowles wife ) this was great ❤❤❤

Video begins showing 3 Egyptian idols.... Ramses/murphy, the queen/iman & the sphinx/Jackson!!! Assuming mj/murphy/Iman emulate chooses Egyptian idols for the music video.... THE SPHINX NOSE IS REMOVED, JACKSON NOSE REMOVED 😮

Omg Im just loving your MJ reactions ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ mj is just so addicting 😭😍

The queen is played by Iman Abdulmajid, then ofc there's Eddie Murphy as the king, and the guy who presents the people performing for the queen is Magic Johnson. MJ wanted him in his video because he had recently announced he was sick with HIV, and michael wanted him in the video for a memorable moment he could share with Johnson. Back then people saw this diagnoses as a deth sentence bc of the the aids scare back then. Thankfully magic johnson made it and is still alive today. Also this is the first time media depicted black people as Egyptians which was actually historically accurate to actual ancient Egypt.

Hey Seph 😊😊😊😊 I was so happy when I saw the notification

You should watch Liberian girl video please

There's another funny story about Michael's outfit. Michael was supposed to wear a headgear that he didn't like. His costume designer Michael Bush recalled in his book "The King of Style: Dressing Michael Jackson" that this headgear suddenly disappeared. It only reappeared on the last day of the video shoot. Michael had been hiding it the whole time.

i was like where the f is a camel looool i have not once seen it hahahahahaha and all of a sudden the different looks that seemed "weird" when not knowing him u start to dig, right? Like the long long wavy hair...etc etc hahahha i was waiting for that dance scene ...i skipped the album version straight away and i am glad i did...

It's the joy that Michael brings us. Wonderful reaction.

Love this reaction, Seph, thank you for making this video! The short film is one of his best for sure an your reaction is wildly entertaining)) Keep them coming!

I think I remember Iman saying that Michael was very shy but also easy to work with and very professional, and that she was very impressed by his humanitarian efforts and that was very endearing to her 😊❤

ooooo this is gonna be goooddd!!!!

I'm ready for the dangerous tour reaction

Love your reactions to MJ! This is one of my favorite short films! And regarding the dance, MJ reached his pick during dangerous phase, you will really like his performance in the Dangerous world tour!

I've loved Michael's music video since the first time I saw it, it became my favorite and it remains that way to this day, in my opinion, it's an impeccable video as always, in addition to the incredible choreography, it's also my favorite and for me the best one, Seeing it, I can't fully describe what I think and feel about this short film and yes, for me it's Michael's best music video, I have no words to describe this video, it's simply perfect, Michael is perfect here and yes, this was Michael's first kiss in screen and I love Eddie Murphy too he was a great friend of our King. 🙌🏻👏🏻👑🤩❤️

This is my song!!! my video, its just perfect This one and you rock my world are in my top three. You will get to it eventually. This was the first music video with an all black cast Michael set the standard!! The moves everything just chef's kiss 💋 and the Woman is Iman! A model, eddie and Mike were good friends

Man you are the best at doing reactions to MJ I love them all! I watched your reaction to Don't Stop Till You Get Enough when you didn't know much about him and his music, I'm wondering how do you like the journey so far? What do you think about him? Is he one of your favorite artists? Do you actually listen to his songs in your alone time outside of reactions? What has been the MJ song you've been listening to the most lately? I'm addicted to a song called Slave to The Rythm it's sooo good, I hope you react to it! The lyrics are great too! Sorry for so many questions 😂

Everybody (including me) was going ballistic at you in the comments, we were only looking out for your best interests man. Amazed you still have under 14k subscribers. There is a girl I watch movie reactions from (Once Upon A Reaction) and she is easily the best movie reactor on RU-vid but only has 33k subscribers. Some of the rubbish reactors have like 500k lol. I don't get it.

the first video (or short film) entirely with black actors...  

you're not reading for the dangerous tour performances , he peaked in dancing during that era

I saw this video like 10000 times, as I am biggest MJ fan, but ☝️ I've never seen this camel before 🤣🤣🤣🤣 when you see Michael you are just so hypnotized that you see nothing but him. Thanks Seph 🤭

I live to see Seph's adorable reactions and the joy he expreesses watching and listening to Michael's masterpieces for the first time ❤

Well, about the kiss, rumours say that he liked her so much, that couldn't stop kissing her. She stopped him by saying something like ''stop, i;m about to marry David''.

“Remember The Time” ~ The meaning of the song is basically a breakup song. With MJ asking an ex-lover (over and over) for her to remember the special times they had together. When the single was released MJ dedicated the song with love to Diana Ross. In Michael’s 1988 Autobiography titled “Moonwalk”, he stated that he had his longtime love interest and mentor, Diana Ross, in mind when he wrote the song. The accompanying Music Video for "Remember The Time" was filmed in January 1992 at the Universal Studios Hollywood backlot. Prior to the release of the video, Jackson's record label promoted it by releasing clips, as well as releasing behind the scenes clips of making the video. It premiered on ABC, NBC and Fox and BET on February 2, 1992. After the video premiered on MTV, the channel aired a special called "More Dangerous Than Ever" which included glimpses of the making of the video. Directed by John Singleton and choreographed by Fatima Robinson, the video was an elaborate production and became one of Jackson's longest videos at over nine minutes. It was set in ancient Egypt and featured groundbreaking visual effects and appearances by Eddie Murphy, Iman, The Pharcyde, Magic Johnson, Tom "Tiny" Lister Jr. and Wylie Draper, who portrayed Jackson as an adult in the made-for-TV movie The Jacksons: An American Dream and died shortly after appearing in this video. Jackson appears in the video as a hooded wizard who enters an Egyptian palace and attempts to entertain the Pharaoh's bored Queen. Two other entertainers have failed, and she has sent them to be executed. The Queen sees that this wizard is different - instead of juggling or eating fire, he walks up the steps to her throne and sings to her, asking her if she "remembers the time" they were together. The Pharaoh (played by Murphy) hardly appreciates this move and summons his guards. Jackson runs away to another room and begins elaborate, Egyptian-style choreography with the Pharaoh's servants. When the guards find him, Jackson turns into golden sand. In the video, Jackson was dressed in a costume made of gold satin. He wore golden chain mail, a white skirt with a phallic dangling sash, black pants and black boots. This video features a physically complicated dance routine that became the centerpiece of other videos from the Dangerous album. The Music Video was generally well received by music critics with most calling it a "Gorgeous Ancient Egyptian Extravaganza".🙌🏽👑💛💕💫(This Short Film/Music Video premiered on my BDay February 2nd and this Short Film is such a masterpiece from the choreography,the song itself,the outfit’s,MJ’s vocals his solo dancing,the plot etc. just truly stellar Long Live The King Of Music Michael Jackson My Idol Forever! May I add that this was a very monumental Short Film/Music Video for the Black Community to be represented as true Royalty in every sense of the matter MJ honored his heritage that the media and folks tried to claim he wanted to desperately deny which couldn’t be further from the truth. Also I love MJ’s Live Performance of this song during the 1993 Soul Train Awards,who was laid up with a severely twisted ankle,gave a one of a kind memorable performance of the song while sitting in a egyptian gold throne Please React to that performance.)

Can you react to Janet Jacksons rhythm nation music video

That was a Great Reaction Seph; also the Model Iman (The Queen) ; was the wife of the Late Great David Bowie.🔥🔥🔥

Please do a reaction to Michael Jackson's daughter Paris Jackson song dead Sea off of her debut album called wilted

And the servant was Earving "Magic" Johnson.

As a thank you for Eddie for being a part in this video Michael was part of an Eddie Murphy song from Eddie's album called "Whatzupwitu" and also appeared on the video, you should react to it, it's just a feel good song and video very fun just 2 friends joking around, you could actually see Michael was having fun just dancing around in the video with Eddie it's really cute 😂😂❤🥰

Literally thought that dude was actually magic when I was a kid 😆😊

I always look forward to your reactions. This one didn’t disappoint. This is such an iconic video. I hope you also get a chance to react to his soul train performance of the song. He’s sitting in a chair the whole time and yet his performance is awesome. Great reaction as usual!

amazing I am. happy you did this video... because if you do not watch Michael's videos then you really don't enjoy them more,,, he did a lot of hard work in his music videos which is not going on nowadays in music videos... you pls must watch the GIVE IN TO ME music video also...

I remember watching this the night it premiered in my living room and being a 12 year old girl who was in absolute awe of this man and his genius! His video’s when they premiered it was an event!

Mj was always ahead of everyone else in his vision for what he wanted, unique in everything he ever made, a phenomenon

i just dont understand the comments ( and you ) saying "this is my favourite video/mini movie ' i love them all the same ! watching the master at work is always a good time !

that intricately difficult Egyptian dance sequence was brilliantly choreographed by famed choreographer Fatima Robinson. she even appeared as a dancer in the scene twice. now, i know the majority of the choreography for Michael's short films, but i must say this is the hardest. to this day, i am still learning certain steps and moves. it is a testament to his ability (as a dancer) that he was able to master it.

Seph I hope that you keep releasing MJ at this pace, I'm really enjoying your reactions

I think the acapella bit is set up specially for the dance breakdown in this short film 🤗✨️🌠🙆🏽‍♂️💛👑

Hi Seph! Did you know that one of the dancers is Wylie Draper, who also appeared as MJ in the TV movie The Jacksons: An American dream?

Greatest Entertainer of All Time

Amazing video Seph ! I remember when i first seen this as a kid , i will not lie i was shocked at MJ's appearance for a minute but that went out the window very fast.

where is Black or White short film reaction? Where is Dangerous performance reaction? were they striked or u haven't watched yet? Bc i see u are already at Childhood ?

Hey yessss🎉🎉🎉 this is why!❤❤😂😂aah am so glad you watched it reaction speaks for itself.

Love your reactions Seth :)

Hey Seph, sorry if i'm not commenting that much like before but in this period i have been really busy. I'm still watching all your videos and i'm loving them all, i've not abandoned you dont worry haha. And yesss, finally you reacted to this short film🔥 It's one of my most favourites Michael short films of all time! And i apoligize again with everybody for not letting him to react to it some weeks ago, plans changed many times haha.🔥 I'm now planning to comment under this video and all the other videos you have done in the past few weeks to write information for you, it will take me some time since they are a lot but i'll do it🔥 Thank you Seph🙏

Thanks, Steph, We love you for experiencing M.J. and taking us a long for the enjoyment and pleasure of still enjoying the G.O.A. T. ( THE GREATEST VOF ALL TIMES) Long live the 👑.

Michael wanted people to understand our history and have a good time. Egypt is part of Africa! Michael has a way of given us more then one note, he tells stories not just with the music, with his body! This came out in the 90s and it seemed like school play had this song in it! This is why he is..... King of Music!

Great review, I was really looking forward to your reaction to this one. This is my favourite MJ video ❤

You were funny in this video lol 😂

I touched that outfit at the MJ exhibition in London! I almost got kicked out by security! That is gold plated material! Insane! Magic Johnson is the gong hitter! Basketball player 😊

I enjoyed your reaction.

11:10... I read a while back in his biography that he ran off set into his trailer immediately after this scene was shot out of embarrassment. Not sure if its factual but likely as we know Mike was very shy/introverted

Keep in mind that Eddie Murphys wife here is Iman, David bowies wife back in the day

Just subsçribed Big fan now

You are so much fun to watch Seph!!

Mike was NOT shy. lol. Plenty of stories about how normal mike was in private. He played the act on camera

lol... I love how you're surprised about not recognizing the part of the song when the dancing starts. FYI, for all if not most of Micheal Jackson's videos that includes a dance segment, the song is re-edited/ extended specifically for the intended dance sequence. Not many people know, the song Thriller was beautifully butchered to play all the vocal segments first, before any of the chorus. Then he played the rest of the video, starting from the dancing, with an extended instrumental, and then as only singing the chorus parts of the song till the end. like I said... "Beautifully Butchered". The guy's a genius.

Seems No one knows who magic Johnson is

Michael asked last minute to kiss Eman ha ha he was fine with it

Hi Seph, I don't know if you saw my comment on the last video, but I suggested that for the next song on the album, you can watch the album version up until 1:48, switch right into the music video, and then when it ends switch back to the album version at 5:24. Maybe it's too much trouble Idk, but that way everyone will be Satisfied. Tell me what you think if you like the suggestion🤔🤔

Sale Magic Johnson estrella de los Lakers

Your so cute with your reaction

Actually it quite makes sense for the song to be set in some ancient place, since the words Remember the time talk about Remember something in the far past, something ancient to today to Remember, like ancient Egypt😅. It was huge when it came out, it was the second song and video released from the album after Black or white, and the two were basically THE main songs of the album, one big banger and a love song, like don't stop till you get enough and rock with you to off the wall, and bad and the way you make me feel for bad. Just out of curiousity, after you have reacted to off the wall, thriller, bad and (most of) dangerous, which album and era of michael is your favourite? Also, after reacting to alot of michael and elvis, I'm just wondering in your opinion who is the bigger 'king' in your eyes. The king of rock VS the king of pop Which songs and albums and videos do you like more, or who do you think is the overall greatest entertainer/dancer/singer of all time? Elvis VS Michael

A model named Iman

15:48 ok but tthat little smile was so cute aww 😂❤❤️😍

That was Iman.

React to "In the Closet" Acapella version. You can't miss it.

Some have already spoken on this, but I'd just like to add on to the importance of this music film. Me knowingly, it is still the only all black/Arab cast portraying the high culture of Ancient Egypt. Atleast the only one of this magnitude and influence in western culture. All other ones have been done with white casts. It sais alot about Hollywood and western culture; only able to picture a powerful, influential and long-lasting culture like that, as whiteskinned...even though it was situated in northern Africa... It's still - by far - the most longlasting high culture known in history and ofcourse it had a tremendous importance for western culture and developement forwards through the Babylonian Empire, Ancient Greece and -Rome. The kiss is the first of the only two MJ ever did on film. Making it this kind of unnatural - sweeping but stiff - classical Hollywood-kiss, I presume is a nod to the type of movies done on the theme before (of which Elisabeth Taylor starred in the most famous one, Cleopatra) or rather to that whole movie era. Atleast that's my parents who grew up during this era - born in the 40s - association..! I find it very plausible. John Singleton as director, all black cast, hip hop moves in the choreography, Paula Abdul among the dancers (I've seen you have other named in other comments); MJ was using esthetics to make a clear point. Black people and POC have been and can be kings and queens. Magic Johnson risked becoming pariah after their HIV diagnosis. The HIV/AIDS panic and -hate was real and horrifying back then, top down. MJ saying right away that Johnson should be in this, was a clear message as well. You should watch the live performance from Bill Clinton's inauguration, including the song Gone Too Soon (also on Dangerous) - a very unfestive and bold pick by MJ for that occasion. The video is important too, you'll come to know Ryan White who was immortalized for the wider public, through that one. You'll know how MJ stood up by example for HIV/AIDS victims, also here Elisabeth Taylor was a very important frontfigure. The hich culture of Egypt was a cult around magicians, their priests were magicians and magic was a fundamental part of their empire's beliefsystem. MJ ofcourse would have known about this, being very well-read. I've always wondered if MJ thought abput how perfect it was to have the black basketball star Magic in this particular shortfilm, taking back the blackskinned vision of Ancient Egypt, themed around magic..! (It would surprise me if not, but I've never heard it mentioned.)

Seph you look so confused, got so chuckled!!

This is the very best kiss of MJ on videoclipe.

4:46 one person that did that told me that they themselves as they bring the fire to their mouth they exhale so they’re blowing it out before it gets to their mouth. 15:49 that smile reminds me of Eddie Murphy’s smile in his movies.

Iman said he was a great kisser. :-D

The best is yet to come 😊!

If Eddie Murphy can't entertain you, Michael Jackson surely can 😂

12:46 “It’s a bloody machine gun!” 😂

YES!! IMHO.. The last EPIC Michael Jackson short film.

Man I'll tell you imagine listening and watching this back in 1988. Amazing!!!

I love your reactions man 😫😫😫❤️🙏🏼
