November 14, 1991 Michael Jackson’s 11 minute ‘Black Or White’ short-film premiered simultaneously in 27 countries to a record-breaking audience of 500 MILLION people, making it the most watched music video premiere in history to this day!
Bill Bottrell Singer songwriter i the rap on the song I believe - they orig wanted LL Cool J or Heavy D, but did work out. Tyra was probably just starting to garner some recognition as a model, but not quite supermodel status yet.
Saying he is doing little is missunderstanding this vid in a historic angle, no one was dancing at this time in videos. maybe madona some but generally it was a revelation. something new. this video is so big it was the most expensive ever done by this time. so no, this wasn´t small unfelt dancing, it was revolutionary. this video also shows the first time ever the new technollogy that allowd quick metamorphosis in picture. it was later fomously used in terminator 2 and the modeling of jurasic park. even having macoly culkin there was massive. you guys don´t realize what a star he was at the time. you speak relatively for today but for this time he´s dancing is out of this world.
Michael Jackson releasing a new song/video was always an "event". You knew it was going to be long, you knew it was going to be expensive, you knew it was going to be #1 and you certainly knew it was going to be amazing :)
It took about 4 hours per person to change one face into another (back in those days). This was the most watched music video over the world at that time! There’s an other longer version where he at the end only dances a couple of minutes and gets angry about racism. It’s very nice to see that, so go watch it guys! I love your Michael Jackson reactions ❤
I never knew there was a longer version until I read your comment. I looked it up and it is epic. You are right, they should have reacted to the entire video
In the 80's his videos were world premieres i remember in high school everybody would be talking about the next day.. he is a beautiful man a innocent man. Love u Michael.
Hi Twins Reacts Samuel and Lucas this is one of My Favorites Michael Jackson songs. I'm really Love all Michael Jackson songs please react Remember The Time and Who Is It By:Michael Jackson.
Michael Jackson! El hombre que permitió que mtv siga vivo!!!! Ahi les va la época dorada de "MTV" porque MICHAEL JACKSON ES EL REY DEL POP POR SIEMPRE!!! Pero la "MTV💩" NUNCA MÁS!!!!!!!
Hey guys, give his video ....Give In To Me... with Slash on guitar a listen to....such a powerful song and out of the ordinary for Michael but it just shows his diversity...my fav next to Thriller
I did the research. MacCaulay Culkin was about 11 years old in 1991 which is when this music video was released. In 1990 was when the first Home Alone was made and also when Culkin, at age 10, met MJ. Culkin was 9 or 10 during filming of Home Alone, google can't make up their damn mind.
What l will say is MJ was 1 of the goats that is for sure this, particular song and video was in its day huge and technologically innovate for its time with the whole face merging effect. I will admit, his last years for me wasn't so much a fan of his songs l felt they were lacking that edge which well, we all now know towards the very end how an ill man he was especially for his age. But he deserves the legendary status alongside greats of Elvis etc. and this 1 was certainly 1 of his best.
By the way this song is tightly related and based on Queen´s I want to break free. putting the songs together paying really show how the inspiration to this whole concept was born. Micheal was a queen fan and you can feel some of the effects they had on his music.
I LOVE MJ- he is probably my top single artist of all time! Vincent Paterson co-choreographed this with Michael & is a really cool guy. He's one of the 2 lead dancers in Beat It (the white guy) & assistant choreographer and a zombie dancer in "Thriller". He co-directed and co-choreographed Jackson's Bad tour as well as co-choreographing Jackson music videos "Smooth Criminal", "The Way You Make Me Feel", "Dirty Diana", "Speed Demon", plus live performances for the Super Bowl XXVII Halftime show, the Grammys, and the MTV 10th Anniversary. He also co-directed and co-choreographed the music video for Jackson's hit "Blood on the Dance Floor". Here's a really cool interview with him 0n RU-vid as he talks about working with Michael on Black & White & how cool he was. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zz9RoL0g53I.html
Why does ANYONE react to "shortened" versions?? There was a reason for the full length video. That "face changing" tech at the end? That was fucking unheard of when this video came out, we were astonished. These videos used to premiere on the FOX network after The Simpsons on Sunday night while we were all in front of the TV. No phones, no computers. Just TV and books. As it should be.
The "face changing" tech was accomplished by using a software program called "Morph", which was released to the general public shortly thereafter. Ground breaking program considering the limitations of CPU speed and graphics capabilities of personal computers at that time. The morphing process was quite labor intensive and tedious, matching "dots" with one face to another. This effect was seen in the Godley and Creme video for their 1985 song "Cry" where they displayed a series of faces at the end of the video. The transition from one face to another was accomplished by fading down one face while simultaneous fading up the next one. When G & C looked at the finished video they were stunned to see that at the mid-point of the fades, a third face was created. All done with analogue film (nothing digital at that point on computers). I wonder sometime if the creators of "Morph" got the idea for the technology by watching the "Cry" video. Kevin Godley and Lol Creme were, of course, former members of 10 cc.
