Michael Jackson Songwriting Masterclass 

Watching this, i can't wait for the day somebody makes a claim on the following song.....google WHY? by JASMINE LAMPORT.... I was looking for something to stretch and test Jasmine's beautiful voice so i picked up a piece of paper which i'd written a lyric of about 300 words the day before and took it back again in lyrical content until all that was left were between about 17 and 19 words which said what i wanted to say....WHY?,...WHY,...WHY,..WHY?,...WHY?,.....WHY?WHY DID YOU LEAVE, BECAUSE YOU'RE GONE, WHY DID YOU GO AWAY....then i asked Jasmine to sing the word WHY? with a variety of notes.... .....and it's deep...and yes, repetitive....and yet, if you think that, come back to the song when or after you have tasted great loss....i have watched grown men(and women) well up in tears within three to four of Jasmine's "WHY?'s". Something is happening with it though...a top critic panned it because of repetition...then he was panned by a member of JOE PUBLIC...and she went on to admit to BUYING,yes BUYING(not streaming) all three of Jasmine's songs...on the strength of one listen of "WHY?". Might be an interesting day in court.

Lol Phil, I just fell on this video and was thinking the same thing !!

Crazy right..?

David Harrell if you interview a musician you have to ask him about the process though lol but they just focused on his life and controversy

Everyone who interviewed him pissed away their time on nonsense. It would be like going back and asking Michelangelo who he was dating instead of how he was an artist.

Kenia Salas right their hating ass

That's correct☺️🤣🤣

Media and the Illuminati killed Michael Jackson.

Me too. Miss u Mike.

People want to forget what he did because they like his music, I can't.

@@strumminfuel4625 What did he do that has not been proven to be false ,he was innocent every time they accused him of such nonsense

@@strumminfuel4625 forget what he did? You mean the hundreds of millions of dollars for charity he gave? You mean the tens of thousands of hours humanitarian work he did? You mean showing the world love even when the world treated him like shit? You mean being the greatest artist ever? Hope those are what you’re talking about and not allegations that have been proven false over and over again. Please tell me you have a thinking brain

The greatest education in the world is watching the masters at work.

Really 😀😂🤦🤦👏👍.he was really a funny man 🙏.court became hall of fame.and the judge,advocates all became his audience.

Yes😂🤦

I'm

I'm

Mlchael love elly Xxxxx 😘❤💖💕♥

He's pissed off he's there.

OnlyMichaelJackson (Angel) “I haven’t heard this in so long” bless him🥺🥺

1. You think its incredible. It isn't. Singers do it all the time. Its like calling someone a great drummer just because they can keep time. Its the most basic requirement of playing drums but people call them "genius" 😏

@@onesong2001 Michael clearly has perfect pitch, it is no doubt a very rare ability, most songwriters don’t have it in their possession, just straight scientific fact my friend Cheers

@@lostparlour If it's a "straight scientific fact" can you show me the straight scientific evidence?

@@onesong2001 sure, a quick google search for the term "perfect pitch" would reveal millions of result i'd like to copy and paste something here for you to read my friend "Absolute pitch (AP), often called perfect pitch, is a rare ability of a person to identify or re-create a given musical note without the benefit of a reference tone." or "Only around one in 10,000 people has the ability to correctly classify a note simply by hearing it. This phenomenon is called perfect, or absolute, pitch, and has been made famous by the well-known composers who are believed to have possessed such talents, such as Mozart and Beethoven." if you go further, a list of modern composers who possess this ability only included some of the greats, including michael jackson, jimi hendrix, jazz singer ella fitzgerald and singer maria carey as the most famous examples, if i can add, brian wilson has it too John Lennon might be the greatest songwriter ever lived, but even John or his song writing partner paul mccartney cannot do that

@@lostparlour Thats not evidence that Jackson had perfect pitch. If you're going to reproduce a quote you should say who/what/where it came from. There's an enormous amount of inaccurate information on the web.

He had it all.We are lucky to have lived in his time so lucky.A genius!!

Matter of opinion.

@@taalibhossandorff8287 It is always the Prince, Beatles, Elvis and Freddie Mercury fans who come on MJ pages, articles all over internet and say is better than MJ. Heck beatles and prince fanbase are the most deluded and fallacious. They keep spamming everywhere that MJ took credits of other musicians and he couldn't compose himself because he didn't play instruments like everybody else.

@@SeldomPooper Let's start with the inflated title "Greatest Composer Of All Time". Mozart wrote 41 symphonies which lasts 45 - 75 minutes and the orchestra that consists of 100 pieces played the music. Jackson couldn't read music nor could he write music so how is Jackson a superior composer? Prince, Stevie Wonder, Phil Collins and Steve Winwood have all done something Jackson never did. They all have written the lyrics, wrote the music and played the all the instruments, arranged the vocals remixed the music on an entire album themselves. No one else in the studio helping them. Jackson had never done that for an individual song, let alone an album. We all know Jackson would beat box the drum parts, sing the guitar and other musical instrument parts to the studio musicians who would then translate to musical notes. Hear a sound in your mind and vocalize it or play it on an instrument. Jackson wasn't the first to do this, he wasn't the last and he wasn't the best.

@@taalibhossandorff8287 yet he still became a greater artist than all of those guys

Better to watch the original, this has stuff cut out of it. Also, there is another trial you can listen to.. it is for the song Dangerous. About the songwriting process... some people get the lyrics first. There is no set way to do it. Also check out Elton John's song writing process. It doesn't matter if you like him or not.. you can still learn from him. Elton can make up songs on the spot. Michael can't. I am not trying to slam Michael, I am just showing that there are many ways to write songs

+brendalg4 That's true they are ways different ways to come up with lyrics. Sometimes I already have concept in mind before I even hear instrumental, because come up with the melody in my head. I will check out Elton John some more too, I know he makes great music too. Thanks for the tip, I appreciate it.

In Elton's case, there are videos of him making up songs on the spot.. such as someone giving him a oven instruction manual (or similar) and he writes a song out of it while we watch.

💣🔥

brendalg4 u know Michael made “Another Part of Me” on the spot right? Not arguing or knocking Elton John cause I too recommend him and he’s amazing but just letting that out there

OnlyMichaelJackson (Angel) wow, well said. You must be a musician

It's not God. Of you studied the bible you would know who responsible for music in heaven

@GP Lol she didn't reply......

@@alyjulmim8447 - and who gave Lucifer that ability?

The voice is an instrument, even musicians should be able to understand that fact. The human voice has a certain range dependent upon the individual and requires proper care. An instrument requires being put in tune and oiling just like the vocal chords need care. You train your voice like you train on an instrument needing to learn pitch and meter. People saying MJ can't play an instrument likely sound like croaking frogs when they sing any song themselves.

Rules the Moonwalkers. The recording artists pay their proper respects and keep it moving. No One is trying to be Jackson. No one is trying to surpass Jackson. The majority of the artists aren't trying to tarnish his legacy. The artists are busy working on their own careers and legacies.

elva136 Everybody feels entitled to the black man’s wealth, Luke how dare he own all that alone? Racist, jealous people.

@@globalcitizenn He's white

Liam Gallagher African American *

@@WakaWaka2468 he's a black man

@@gameolot3401 he's a full on black man

Fingers, mouth(beatboxing) , & from his head dude was a masterpiece man

...then he got a producer to turn it into a real song.

@@onesong2001 Well, the producer can't do shit if the song itself isn't good

​@@onesong2001he also produces his song lmao

I'd go up a level and say artistic genius or downright genius when you factor in the dancing/choreography/concepts. Not to mention he was a great illustrator too.

@@Chessbox09 I would go further and say he was a business genius spending tens of millions of dollars on his image which encouraged children to buy his products and ultimately make more money than any musical artist, even the really talented ones.

Don't think. Feel. Let your singing be like water around the other sounds

Thanks Recently I guess I was wondering about my lack of creating and Holy Spirit told me I was unimaginative. So I knew I needed to use and see hear how I envision the song to be And This vid helps. Charlie puth is similar

Its like a muscle you learn

Matter of opinion.

Hopefully history will show that MJ was a great human being who was sadly falsely accused of the worst crime possible.

How do you know what he heard in his head? You hear all Michael Jacksons BS with your ears and you believe every word of it despite being able to hear his mediocre pop music. You are what is known as "brainwashed", "musically uneducated", and "a sucker".

He acted almost happily surprised enjoying one of the tapes and jammed along with his now self to his “then” self. Loved that moment.

J'Kalah Furlow I agree it really does

Same girl

D Anderson yes ! He was truly a beautiful person inside and out and everyway in between.

I'll buy an album with just his demos and creative process

He wrote 100 songs for each album...

Yeah, turns out all the allegations of some parents lying about the kids thing was also just a way for some envious poor people getting money out of MJ. He really didn't deserve all the lies that were told about him.

@@theblackbaron4119 facts.... people only believe tabloid Media...the assholes 💔that's why I Research stuff for myself before I judge

Facts the bigger the star the bigger the target and so many vultures wanted a piece of him for financial gain

@@MusicKnowledge1 facts

haha! yeah!

He don't need I'd instrumental. Everything on his head!! This is very rare to a human being

😅

As did Jesus

He's the god of little children who don't know what music is. Love is actions. Not just thoughts or words. You don't know what music is either.

@@onesong2001 You made zero sense.

@@noahweston9100 I make complete sense to anyone who has some intelligence

That's beautiful

MessiThunbo messi✨❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Where is this version lol

The beginning sounds like 2300 Jackson Street

the demo version of 'the girl is mine' better than the duet in my opinion.

Spot on...me too...it's not rocket science...it's FEELING....and Michael FEELS it on this video. Read my comment five above yours Kyri...about a song called "WHY?" by Jasmine Lamport.

SONIC FOXX MUSIC...(D.N.A... Developing New Artists) Wait I don't see the song

I do the exact same

Nah I don’t force it at all I let the song create it self, like the beat talks to me and I easily come up with melodies. I hum the melodies and words just pop out my mouth that I feel that goes hard and easily able to write an entire song off it. But mainly, don’t force it let the song talk to you

I was about to say that 👌❤

+Malik Abdullah It is a trial. Someone had sued him for plagarizing The girl is Mine (I think). Of course it was just a sham, but isn`t ironic that none of these questions were asked by interviewers? We have to watch trial footage to get answers to the most basics questions about his genious.

+Malik Abdullah It is a deposition. He got taken to court for plagarism for a song and they demanded to show them how he writes a song. So he got up and showed them what he does. He's not a very talented musician, he started most of his songs by beat boxing and the lyrics were just mush until he figured them out.

+Joe Cassandra lol "not a very talented musician." Are you high? Also if you knew anything about songwriting, most people start out with "mush" lyrics and then figure them out. Rarely do people write out a poem and then put it into melody. It's much less calculated than you think.

Uncle Joe I bet you are talented then, We would like to learn from you. Please teach us something or show us your track record UNcle Joooeeee!!!!!

+Charlie Sumner unless of course you are Elton and Bernie

Great ear there bro

Indeed he was at a genius level here that is Supernaturally given. Everyone in that courtroom had to know he would win. All were “schooled” by MJ and loving it. How much were they all “not on purpose” enjoying this… best case in court ever. Imagine being the court reporter (if there was one)trying to shorthand all of these layers into the transcript. 😂

Have you listened to the demo version? I really prefer that over the album version.

The demo is divine. The strings are magical. McCartney makes it sound like a nursery rhyme.

It's impossible.We are individuals.And Michael was in a league of his own.He has no equals

Everything these days is so excessive and over saturated as well in the world of music it's impossible for someone to be able to come close at all to bring a legend like him

It's impossible. He was one with the music and understood what people could connect to and feel for more than any artist of today

Nobody will

Because they don't have passion in music as much as Michael

Tonisha Chadwick He was actually sick Donuts in today but you had to do it and not stay home because he was this is a court disposition so he was facing jail time about stealing music he don't have a list he just learned his pictures because he took a lot of medication before he that won't stand and even doing this that he was still on pills

He wasn't sick.. He just had oral surgery

What a coincidence that my comment got hearted today after I was listening to keep the faith .
