I love this guy. He feels Michael's music like me 😭

You understood it perfectly, HIStory is his most autobiographical era of work. From Tabloid Junkie to SIM and Childhood. He was hurt and frustrated, understandably

First song I heard after he died and will always be synonymous with that for me. Yes he was hurting, and no one was listening. No one can possibly know what he was going through.

"...when you're alone and cold inside" It hits so damn hard when you're truly alone, with no friends, no family, fending for yourself since childhood with absolutely no one to rely on.

The world doesn’t like us, who share the same passion for music like Michael. They want us to be robots and play and sing the way they want us too, but they can’t make us. We are individuals with individual talents and gifts to be shared with those who can appreciate it. We use passion to get our hearts out there. Michael was a master at that. We gotta keep the passion in our music and not sell out!

Yeah that was Michael beatboxing ❤. Very hard depressing time for Michael and he was just tired😞, so he wrote this song in his Moscow hotel room. I admire his strength, bc throughout all of the turmoil, he held his head high, stayed humble and still had a genuine love for people and he never gave up💪🏾. I love you MOST Michael❤.

Michael was a force of nature. He was a master of his craft. He knew how to capture and put the essence of his soul sonically while painting an incredibly textured and beautiful musical landscape. It’s a lost art. You’re absolutely right about how he could touch your emotions and bring you into his world. As you can see, he started this song with a beat and introduced the work with very simple blues bass changes. It’s a very well thought out composition with all kinds of lovely noodles in the background. I found that the hard percussion 🥁 beats that accompanied “how does it feel” we’re almost like something whipping someones back. Like Christ being driven to the cross. There are so many layers in this music that you can hear something different every time. I grew up listening to Michael since he was one year older than me. He would be 64 today. Michael was a true gift from God who was eventually too good for this planet. So The Creator pulled him out to save his soul from further injury. He was my man too. Really miss that brother. Thanks for your awesome review and reaction young brother 👊🏽

Michael truly was a legend. You could feel his loneliness and alienation through the screen. His voice, his facial expression, his body gestures all communicated how he felt. MJ was music personified. That man felt music even to his fingertips

The background to this: he wrote it while in Russia after the allegations came out. The producer of this album (I can’t remember his name) gave an interview saying that when the allegations came out, the American media was so obsessed with trying to find him that Russia stepped in and secretly flew him to Moscow. So while news stations were chasing multiple other planes looking for him, trying to anticipate where he was going to land, he was watching the news coverage from Russia. That’s how much power this man had!

I felt that! Mike’s loneliness becomes so big in this song. Such a consummate artist! Great reaction, as always ❤️ The live performance for this is crazy!

I think this is the saddest song of him. And the 'lord have mercy' is very heart breaking ...

Fell in love with this song when I first heard it, but didn't fully understand it until the day he died. Like, "oh, thats what you meant." 🥺💔

Beautiful, haunting song. Poignant. It's such a smooth jam with such powerful vocals- so familiar and expressive. I do believe he was singing about being captive to fame and also all the accusations and filth coming at him. 💧

Yeah...i wanted to go through the screen and give him a big hug! He took his sadness and turned it into true artistry. Every part has a meaning.as you mentioned the rain. Lyrically i think the song is underrated. Thanks for reacting! Need a tissue? ❤

You feel him like I feel him.. so nice to see. He made our lives richer. He is all of us.

We love you MJ Shine & shine on forever King There will never be another one greater than Michael Jackson.

What a song! touches my heart and soul deeply,MJ is untouchable ❤❤

That song is so deep... 😢 It shows how much he was hurting, after the allegations started, he wrote this in Moscow in a hotel, his so called "friends" let him down, and this song hurts so much, it shows his sadness that he felt after being left alone.. its haunting but so beautiful 🥺

Its crazy, the day he died I was at work. I think he'd already died, but I wasn't aware until I was starting my shift at work. At had none of his music in my car, so after spending the entire shift SICK, I drove home in silence with this emptiness inside. I just wanted to go home, throw on his records and dive into my bed. Got home, changed my clothes, dove in my bed and buried my face in my pillow with this on repeat. Never thought of it before, but I believe that had I known, I would've called in sick. Up until that point, that was one of the toughest days I ever had. 🙏🏾👑🕊

Talking bout crying, you should listen/react to who is it raw tracks cuz this man was crying on beat. It’s so haunting and beautiful. But your reaction makes me so sad and happy at the same time. Keep it up!

Omg 😢 this song stays on repeat. That one line "Happy days will drown the pain"🥺💔💔 I felt that lyric.

Innocent mj forever

Happy born day, MJ

The best there ever was and ever will be. MJ will always be in a class of his own 👌

They'll never be another artist like Michael Jackson ever.

One of my all time favorite MJ songs. Very underrated song!

So many great songs from this artist❤️ And yes, Michael made the noices in the beginning of the song and later. Saw an Old clip from the studio, where he did just that. He was amazing at that. Oh and I can’t wait to see and hear you react to “Childhood”❤️🥹

You got to be blind if you can't see his heart is pure

MJ wasn't walking on sidewalk. He was walking on treadmill. And it wasn't raining. There is behind the scene video.

This song is a butterfly dancing in a hurricane. Superb.

You will always be in my heart mj love u❤

God give a good place to him 🙏 He was so hurt by the media, he lived alone. R.I.P King

3:20 That breakdown explains so much what I've been feelin as of late 😪😪😪 Just turned 25 two weeks ago, honestly felt like just another day. I love how well you put it tho 🙌🏿 And of course the king expressing what alot of us feel too.

Theres a quote by Felini" no matter what happens, never lose your childish innocence ". Only the ones who have lost that completely could ever think of Michael in such a disgusting way, it says more about them than anything could.

It’s devastating that this man died at 50, but his legacy, music will live forever

See when you went through what he went through he is telling people he is lonely. Even though he has millions and millions of fans. Nobody should feel the way he felt. It's just to much for one person to feel there nobody there to listen or understand and what's really bad he's saying he's living lonely, entertainment the media along with the who just wanted money him lying to get should held accountable for what they to this man. They just took his soul and his spirit away. I just be so happy when there is no more sadness. Just crying my eye out for him, this is heart breaking down to the heart strings. I never commented on this before when I heard he pass away I had to take off from work that next day. Felt like my heart was taking away when he passed.

love mj

Perfect you got him. Just from the title I clicked, you are a true fan of Michaels heart, imo To me Michael is his music and his dance if you pay attention and not just watch or here like most people that kinda like him.

Through his voice..emotions travel to universe and our souls

I’m glad that i found your MJ’s reactions cause i love him too ♥️😞

I think you're right. Thank you. yes this is Mj ✨ 😍 🌹 🌍 🎶 ✨

They tried to get MJ anyway they could, he was in Russia doing a concert. Liz Taylor went over there to be with him

You gotta do MJ's Dirty Diana video

How this song hasn't gained the modern day recognition it deserves is sooo wrong. This is hands down my favourite Michael song of all time, period. Thanks, my man.

One of my top Micnael songs. I was born the same year 1958. Loved him since I was 11.

Listen "Stranger in Moscow" ACAPELLA by MJ

If you ever need to unlock your deeper emotions, this is the track for it

Awoooooo. Wolf pack in Moscow, Lord have mercy.

Sing MJ. Beautiful inside and outside ❤

I'm glad someone finally picked up on that...this song was a cry for help. It's lonely being an MJ, or a Prince. This level of uber superstardom along with heinous accusations dogged and haunted MJ. The trial broke him and he was never the same.

Love mj mj o king

One of my favourites🥰🥰🥰 used to listen to it in my high school days!!! Oh the memories😍😍! I believe he was on tour and this song came to him whilst he qas alone his hotel room! I also believe they use his heart beat in the song. Michaels live performances of this are amazing!!! When he starts to sing the " Lord have mercy!" Is just wow wow wow

I adore this song and short video, it's so heartbreakingly beautiful, I wish someone would do a breakdown of all the symbolism and hidden messages -- shame it can't be MJ himself.

Its my most fav from michael jackson alongwith liberian girl and the girl is mine

Happy birthday to the king 👑 Love this song so much and da reaction bro.

Okay I've binge watched many of your reactions so far but now I'm subscribing. You really seem to enjoy all kinds of music, you analyse them so well and I like listening to your insight on songs/music. You're doing awesome, keep going. Love from germany ❤️‍🔥🇩🇪

Thank you so much love ❤ MJ

HE COULD PLAY INSTRUMENTS!!!

That song make me sad for real

Micheal did a lot of beatboxing in his songs. And he's definitely talking about feeling isolated and ostracized most of his adult life from things that he endured in his personal life and how Media would portray him.

Thank you.. ❤️✨🌏🕊️🌏✨❤️

I love you forever micheal God is there beside you no need for fear and and being lonely anymore ppl in this world were so cruel to you and now they can’t hurt you anymore ❤😢

HBD to Mike

You got it. Very Perceptive. We have a kindred spirit. Be Well!!

that is MJ beatboxing. its how he won a case in the late 80s against a woman who claimed he stole her song. he aired out his entire process of creating a song, from beatboxing the beat to laying the baselines and all other instruments on top, in front of the courtroom and won the case.

Awww 💔❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹 Thank you Toney for the MJ Birthday Month I greatly appreciate it. You are so brave to react to the greatest King of music because I would not be able to find the words. You got me in tears... We miss you Mike 😔 No one could everrrr 🙌🙌🙌

yk that’s michael best boxing fr😂he beat box for who is it music videos a lot of his music is him best boxing

MJ was innocent 🙏🥺

❤ this song, Rip MJ man

O maior artista de todos os tempos!👑👑👑

He can scat too with his mouth and it shown in remember the time and I love when he beat boxes. I'm amazed by him and his talent. If you haven't check this music video yet, I highly recommend it.

Classic

king

I love that you love Mike!

Yes for what?? For what did people make him sad ? This beautiful person is the case of the most global bullying ever... Thanks for this. Love you Mike!

I love you michael..!! Saludos desde peru

WoooW

If u speed the instrumental up it’s the sonic the hedgehog music. They didn’t wanna be associated with him after that ligations so he took his name off but still let them use the music.

Only song I love 😅

Heard this song after a break up from a relationship I really wanted to work and it hit harder 😞❤️

Great breakdown BTW

He's been through shit. His childhood is full of abusiveness.

amo essa musica

Who told you that he couldn't play those instruments? You better check HIStory album credits and you'll see just how many songs he produced and instruments he played. Yes and he does beat box too.

🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲 mj je t'aime

Couple of songs not sure if you've reacted to, Butterflies and Loving you

Lol for the nth time, Michael DID play instruments: drums, guitar, conga, and a some piano. Him choosing to sing the parts to the musicians is a personal choice since he was pitch perfect. He’s credited for instruments on some albums. I’m tired of that narrative

youre smart

Armageddon of the brain!

Ben was not a mouse. He was a rat 🐀.

Totally broken on this track

Bro already watched it tho how is it a reaction..?

Why did he have to go and destroy his look handsome in the 80s before the Pepsi commercial
