Michael Jackson's vocal performances could embody so many different characters and emotions as he journeyed through a song. Part of what makes MJ so interesting is that you can feel like you are part of the angsty conversation going on in his head, oozing out of his voice as you listen. He pulls you in with every word and every phrase!
He was simultaneously relatable on an emotional level while on a completely other planet with his musical genius and technical ability.
In these studio multitracks of Liberian Girl, we get to hear the unprocessed lead vocals. This means that we get to notice how he works the mic, the full range of his dynamics as he goes from character to character with this voice, and a number of easter eggs found between the sung phrases!
Join me as we explore the whole song together!

MJ's copyright owners will allow this video to remain on youtube but there must be consistent use of frequent stops. No one part of the the song in part or in whole can be played without frequent interruptions. This is partially why I stop and comment and sing during and after key sections that I play. If I just play the files, the video will be taken down. Presenting the files in this format with this kind of flow cements the FAIR USE intent which is why it can remain up on RU-vid. Along these lines, I can not reveal where or link to the source files or I'll get a takedown notice as well. Giving away content that is not mine to give also falls outside of FAIR USE intent. Thanks for understanding and for enjoying the video! I'm excited for you to hear all the wonderful nuances!

Michael Jackson is not given the respect he deserves by the music industry or American society in general. He is not honoured enough for his genius and contribution to music and humanity. Are there any schools, gardens or streets named after him? He was very reserved and private with his work. Dissecting all his songs and parading them on the net like this to me as a fan, given how sensitive Michael was, just makes me uncomfortable. It's fine with 1 or 3 song sampling, for learning and appreciation. We appreciate MJ more for the lengths he went to and his creative visionary in content creation. Michael Jackson deserves way more respect than we see him being given or the way he's being treated. I'm saying this with l.o.v.e ❤ You are clearly in a position to lobby for honours for MJ. That's what we would like to see. With all this microscopic dissection and appreciation, how about you lobby for your government or whomever the powers that be to build or name a university or children's hospital in his name to honour our King of pop, rock and soul Michael Jackson ❤❤🔥

@@oDiiJei We are talking about Michael Jackson, no heavy burden at all. He deserves all the honours. People who really love, appreciate and have the means to get things done for him should do so without thinking of it as a burden. There has been so much taking from and exploitation of MJ throughout his life, even in death. Honouring him should never be seen as a burden.

@richardkovacs2006 2 года назад

Since your interruptions highlight interesting bits and add to what we hear, no problem with that! I must add, though... copyright owners tend to think too much of themselves... just a bunch of businessmen and lawyers without one iota of creativity, they just wanna live well throught the hard work of creative/dedicated people like MJ. Or yourself. A pity.

@StratMatt777 Год назад

Chris, the analysis you do of ALL these MJ songs is kind of the best thing ever (speaking as a life-long singer who remembers bringing Thriller (on vinyl) home with mom as a little kid). Michael would be flattered that you respect his work so much and that we all do too. Thank you!

Of all the thousands of documentaries made about MJ there’s not one to date that really focuses in on his art, his creative process and ultimately the reasons for why he has been listed, officially, as the most successful artist in history (Guineas book of world records).

@6hypnone 2 года назад

His very very expressed emotion + talent is what gives so much expression. When I sing I hold back... I get self conscious.. He is the polar opposite. Being as seemingly shy as he was, he let everything out in recording. I also think just practicing that melisma technique can help with when you wanna add expression. Not to overdo it, but to put it in at all.

@user-bl1pw2th4l 2 года назад

As one of my favourite MJ songs I've heard all of these nuances having listened to the song for the last 35 years every so often. His voice is taken for granted nowadays and because modern vocalists don't have these kinds of nuances and Michael used his voice to set the scene and build emotion, it wasn't just to show off how good he could sing. Also the use of synthesisers is just because back then in the 80s he wanted to try different things. He came up in the 60s so wanted to build different textures and feelings rather than everything sounding brassy and jazzy all the time.

@oDiiJei 2 года назад

It was just amazing to be able to hear isolated vocal tracks for this beautiful song. I used to listen to this song several times to catch the nuances. Now it’s here, what a pleasure!

Wow, Chris thank you so much for sharing this analysis, it was a journey to go through all. We can just imagine and replicate as a producer, but how immensely creative MJ was on his every single song was commendable to learn through your exploration and technology. Once again thank you.

I can probably explain the overloading of the mic preamp: MJ used an SM7B for a lot of his early recordings. It‘s a very power-hungry mic and MJ‘s quiet parts have to somehow be picked up, so they put the gain way up.

Always has been. For me it's the diamond on Bad. Yet it was like the 7th or 8th release from the album. I JUST CANT STOP LOVING YOU. BAD THE WAY YOU MAKE ME FEEL MAN IN THE MIRROR DIRTY DIANA ANOTHER PART OF ME SMOOTH CRIMINAL LIBERIAN GIRL (08) Yeah 8th release. Which is literally bad. As its the best song on the album IMO. So by the time they got to it. The album had been out for like 18 months. And most people had bought the album. So the single never even made the top 10. When it should have been top 3. Well number one for 6 months as far as I'm concerned.

Now that was one hell of a journey to the recording room of the 80s, where this was recorded to be a part of Bad LP. Thank you as always, for the content itself as well as the quality of the stems. So good.
