RUSSIAN REACT TO Michael Jackson -“Billie Jean” | MUSIC REACTION for a FIRST TIME 

It always kills me that people forget the most important factor about this video. This was the first video by a black artist ever on MTV. It opened the door for every other black artist to showcase their videos on MTV which was the most popular and influential music video show in history. This video broke the barrier. I know a lot of younger people today don't get the weight of that but from the 80's - 2000's, music videos were the premiere way we got to see artists. We didn't have the internet to instantly see someone or something. We had to wait for these shows to come on tv and show the music videos. But that made them that much more special to gather around with friends and family to watch them.

The King of Pop (music), The Greatest Performer/Entertainer Of All-Time, MJ!🐐👑💯😊👍

10,000 impersonators and none of them moved like MJ.

It's just entertainment. He was a greart entertainer along with being a gifted singer. I didn't folow him but he was everywhere. I respect the fame he earned. Nothing fake about his talent.

These reaction vids are my favorites, happy to have discovered your channel.

Michael made his professional debut at the age of 6, in 1964, with his elder brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, and Marlon as a member of their singing group The Jackson 5 then when they quit michael went on becoming a big star

Seems strange to watch this short film without seeing MJ do his famous breakdown at the end (live).

Fun fact, he was previously married to Elvis Presley's daughter 😽

Michael Jackson was the best, and always will be the best also smooth, criminal song from him when he did his first movie moonwalk that’s was awesome and amazing Happy new years everybody out there.

Amazing, stunning. Drums intro made by the master (R.I.P) Ndugu Leon Chancler, who performed with Santana band back in the 70`s. This was a monster big hit song, and the entire 1982 "Thriller" album as well, and today, makes the people get on the floor and start to dance. A timeless song, coming from a this truly genius from american Rythm and Blues, Soul music, formerly a member of The Jacksons band, with his brothers. To much material to check as well. Cheers, sweet heart, take care.

i love mj long live the king of pop

King of POP forever👑

This video is the 25th Motown anniversary with his brothers singing songs from when they were the young band, called the Jackson 5 and at the end, his brothers leave, the stage and he does the live version of Billie Jean, one of the best live performances you’ll ever see in your life !!

Don’t care about any of the other stuff. This dude was a music legend

The story is that Billie Jean is a girl claiming that Michael is the father of her child and Michael denies that. So they get into a lawful problem with each other. If you remember the lyrics 'For 40 days and for 40 nights law was on her side'. At the video you can see a person that looks like a private investigator or reporter.He's following Michael in order to take pictures of him, mostly with Billie Jean, to prove that they are in fact lovers. Then a newspaper appears, saying 'Billie Jean Scandal' and of course, the press never lets scandals fade away, that's why that photographer or reporter follows Michael. As for the floor that glows when Michael walks, I personally believe that that is related to the fact that in the song's story Michael was being talked around, followed and accused. Everything he would do, someone would be there watching. So the glowing steps symbolise the fact that he was being always spied and watched. The song and the video are related, just think deeply about it.

MJ is alive in our hearts,minds & souls also I find it hard you’ve never listened to MJ before lol I call cap and MJ is bigger than anyone you’ve reacted to up until this point he’s Thee Greatest Human Being To Ever Walk This Earth other than Jesus Christ himself i definitely recommend you React to Michael Jackson “Billie Jean” Motown 25 Performance 4K it’s Legendary it brings this song up to another level and shows his showmanship and genius and how one of a kind he was/is and forever will be😇✍🏽👑💯

Michael jackson was like a magician on stage. Nobody better than him

Irina if you have never seen it I think you would enjoy both Thriller and Smooth Criminal by MJ videos. Lots of dancing and choreography you might enjoy.

Can't think of anyone else today that was as amazing as him dancing and singing and his type of style

Without any doubt he is still the greatest entertainer of all time. All the love from kerala ❤️❤️❤️

Me Born in year 1988 I guaranteed when you hear the sound of Michael Jackson music you like to start to dance

This was "The" music video that revolutionized music videos as a whole, if this didn't aired music videos would've been dead by now. This Short Film/Music Video really marked an important fundamental change in music history it shifted culture in general and MJ MADE MTV PERIOD!!!😤👊🏽👑🖤💕🔥✨(Please React to Michael Jackson “Dirty Diana” Music Video he’s The Greatest Music Artist Of All Time FOREVER!)

This came out in 1982. I was 13. It was awesome.

Merry Christmas.... hope you have a great holiday season. This song (and his performance at Motown 25) are epic.

Micheal Jackson..awesome

Mj still a legend to this day since his death. Please react to Selena Gomez hands to myself.

Michael Jackson I love your reaction ✨mor reaction video thank you so much ❤️. 🌏🕊️🌏🕊️

Different from many modern pop artists, MJ used some of the best musicians while writing and recording his albums. For example, Eddie Van Halen, Steve Lukather & most of the band Toto, Paul McCartney, and David Foster to mention a few, played and/or wrote music for this album (Thriller).

Check out "Dirty Diana" and "Smooth Criminal" also.

Sorry I was off RU-vid for a while nice listening to you.

I think what you were referring to were photo, or film, negatives. Used to use those to make multiple photos, or overlap and splice them together for different effects.

his videos are the best watch thriller unbelievable it was most expensive video made at the time spent millions on it fantastic there will never be another Michael Jackson so many good songs and the videos no one dune what he did

The album Thriller and most of the videos was released in the year 1983 or 1984

He was very talented

Another song I love

I recommend that you read the Wiki page about the song - it's inspired by a true-life CRAZY event.

I have never seen this video before. The original video had the legendary "Moon Walk" if I am remembering correctly, or was that just done in the concerts? The man could out move anyone!

Michael Jackson. #strangerinmoscow. #earthsong 🌹. 🌏🕊️🌏🕊️🌏💞

Felt old when I started watching this , felt ancient by the time this ended . 😉

Michael Jackson had many video games for the Arcade and Old Consoles at the time and also appeared as a guest character in Ready rumble 2 and he was reference in Plants Vs Zombies as a dancing zombie but later changed due at the time the game was finished Michael had died.

This song came out January 3rd 1983

this and Thriller were the videos that made MTV show more black artists...the execs were like, "Hey, we gotta get in on this ..these people have got some great music-if we don't cash in, someone else's is gonna!" Before that, MTV was mainly rock videos. Watch M.J. as a kid with the family (Jackson 5, lots of utube vids) -you knew you're looking at a kid that's gonna be a superstar.

You should see Michael Jackson's video of Give it to me!

Billy Jean and was a lady in the 1970s she was a very successful tennis player and Michael did have a liking for her like many men did back then

The king❤

oh the memories. "Jackson 5 " was the best.

This is such a good song IMO

smooth criminal , stranger in moscow , dirty diana, remember the time , black or white , u rock my world , who is it , earth song , heal the world ,....

You might be referring to splicing frames or also overlapping frames for effect - today we often do that both in audio and video and call it mixing. Back then, motion photography would mainly be edited (often extra footage would be shot and then would be cut together during editing - then the final would be spliced together, and a final copy made).

*The picture in the thumbnail is from beat it*

michael kinda taught me a little bit of english and how to dance when i was a child. i even had an arcade(?) game for the megadrive videogame 😂😅

The G.O.A.T.

"Billie Jean is not my lover She's just a girl who claims that I am the one But the kid is not my son". Search "Yo no me llamo Javier" from "Toreros Muertos", in lyrics is similar.

Irina: if u danced to popular music, u would double your subscribers 🎉. Btw: this album was released in November 1982

good to see you again

the roll of film from the camera when you first take it out is undeveloped . then you go through the developing process with chemical bath. I know the chemicals used but you can't have lights on unless they are special dim red lights that wont damage it. the developed film is called a negative. some photographers could probably explain it better. expensive and alot of work.

Irina the video predates you back when the music came first then the video later. MJ’s videos were an art form. As far as what you described I think you simply mean FILM itself as a medium. Like the original video things were analogue in those days. No digital recording or internet and few people had computers as they were very expensive. A lot has changed since then except talent and beauty are timeless. Nobody knew back then a Russian ballerina would entertain many at their home or work. Спасибо большое.

So I think the story goes a lady called Billie Jean was calling him the father of her child

The video (after being delayed) came out in 1983 - probably long before you were born! However, as one MJ song says, you are a PYT.

This song Billie Jean is about an obsessed fan who claimed Michael was the father of her son it’s tru im a huge MJ fan i could tell you everything

Nice reaction as always 👍

I don’t believe she really knew what the video is about that’s why she kept saying kitty cat 😂 The video was about him getting constantly harassed by the paparazzi not about cats 😂

Невероятно стильно)

DONT PAY ATTENTION TO THE VIDEO, YES ITS A MASTERPIECE BUT THE MUSIC MY DEAR, THE MUSIC

I’m guessing she already tried stranger in Moscow lol guess I’ll have to jump over to the Patreon!

Mike was the best hands down 🔥 great reaction 😉

Billie Jean is about a girl who claimed that one of Michael's brothers was the father of her child.

Hi, Billie Jean was releasedi n 1983 and its from the Thriller album.

I loved 😍

react to Beat It and especially Thriller. you will love the zombie dance

Check out the Weird Al parody "Eat It"

OMG your eyes are amazing I can't get over how gorgeous you are 😍

Only Elvis and the Beatles had a bigger impact on Pop music than Michael Jackson. I wasn't alive for the first two but as a young child who knew nothing about music, I knew who Michael Jackson was.

40th anniversary of the release of this album.

Irina, the thing u r describing with your Russian word seems to be edit/editing

If you like that, one video like beat it from Michael Jackson

look up the video Thriller its a good video of michael

Yet for me, I was like 3 😂

You talking about Film which is the thing in the Camera

The video was that he was the Midas man...everything he touches turns to gold...why the coin turned to gold in the jar etc.

found the last person on earth who hasn't seen this vid 👀

I'm not a simp but dam your eyes are like ice Berg's so beautiful and love the accent

misheard lyrics: as a child, I always thought he was saying "people always told me, Big Jaffa was a Jew". I am English, so maybe I didn't get the nuanced American accent.

👏👏

What is your intro song?

When this vídeo was realease, y'all until under the USSR! Long time ago...

You need to listen to smooth criminal beat it you rock my world black and white and thriller

Other Michael Jackson songs I’d love for you to listen to are: 1 Dirty Diana 2 Earth song

Your talking about camera film. You use to take out the roll of film to get printed.

For me the Best version is so far from the Motown performance.

React to Morphine by MJ

You have absolutely beautiful eyes.

Nice reaction😊..can you react to Michael Jackson Remember the Time live performance??..but for the quality to be good, go to MJ's YT channel, that's all, I hope you react to that Thank you.
