This is what made MJ a worldwide musical king! The song is about uniting everyone worldwide against the things that divide us. If you get the chance look at the lyrics "Am I invisible cause you ignore me? Your Proclamation promised me free liberty. I'm tired of being a victim of shame! They're throwing me in a class with a bad name. I can't believe this is the land from which I came." MJ was one of if not the most vocal celebrities taking about and trying to do something about the problems of the world. His world tours weren't just concerts he would visit hospitals and meet with politicians try to help the common people. He gave away 500 million dollars in his lifetime. No one is doing what he was doing and despite all that the only thing the media pushed was that MJ was some Hollywood boogeyman.
He was worldwide king way before this😂
@@jamesway True. I meant like MJ caring and making songs like this is what made him a worldwide king not specifically this moment, I worded it wrong.
@@phoenixxking4156 OK, we are friends again. Stop by for milk and cookies anytime. 😆
@@phoenixxking4156ummm no he was world wide WAYYYY before this! Stop it
@@jamesway Thanks 😂
The woman who broke through and hugged Mike wasn't part of the script. They just did it. And yes those are real MP police officers. The director of the video liked it so they kept it in the video
It’s not real MPs. They apply military law in military areas only
The back story to have this video got made is amazing, too.
They had to ask the local crime lord to assure Michael's safety, and he was such a big MJ fan that he guaranteed his safety.
For real? WOW! The power of MJ man.
This is very true. Absolute amazing story.❤I seen it in the making of it ,the story is told by the director.. Rip MJ
@@vertigo2894 yep. he paid police for security for his entire crew but they wouldnt go into this area. so they had a meeting with the kingpin of this favella and he happened to be a huge fan of MJ so he guaranteed everyone's security while MJ was there. MJ also paid everyone, as he does with his videos, for their time.
Just in a Favela in Rio ( very poor small houses together), not in the part of the video that was in Pelourinho place in Salvador (colorful historical buildings with all of that drumers). Both cities are in Brazil.
No bad bad version of Michael exists.😊😊 Stranger in Moscow is a must.❤
I love when Micheal Jackson let the talents around him shine. Sometimes it's not just about him, and he knows that. Let the people around him have their day! :)
Amen! very true that’s why i love MJ he knew it was bigger than himself and knew to let others shine/have their moment!❤
Fun fact a gangster of some kind like drug lord who ran the territory had to be asked for permission to film there and etc and as soon as he was told it was Michael Jackson he agreed immediately and stated you could leave a pile of drugs guns or money there and not a single person would dare to touch it and everyone was guaranteed safety
Even if this turns out to be false, this is my favourite fact about any music video ever 😂
@@marktallentire3464it’s true his name was Márcio Amaro de Oliveira.
Facts
He also stated, "Wherever Michael Jackson stands, is the safest place in the world."
@@marktallentire3464no it’s a for sure real story
This Song Is a Masterpiece! The Man Was a Genius
performer, composer, author and producer of the song... Michael Jackson. The King of Pop.
King of Pop...period!
Remember the Time short film is a must.
Black or White is another very iconic MJ music video and was directed by the same guy who directed Thriller. It was very ground breaking at the time and it features a famous actor. It's also a great song which spent 7 weeks at the top of the U.S. charts, released in 1991 you will both love it! Great reaction by the way, They don't care about us has always been on of my favourites and i'm so glad you reacted to it.
Michael Jackson is the greatest musical artiste ever!!!!!
There's a (Prison Version) it's super graphic which is why it was banned from multiple television channels & countries when he first premiered/released that version of the Short Film. The music industry, media etc. really didn’t want people to see the prison version because it shows the true meaning of "They Don’t Care About Us" being about the racial injustices against African Americans by police/cops and just in general. Which explains why the Brazil Version is more popular than the Prison Version. He did face ALOT of backlash for it but MJ always had a message, was clearly fed up and just did what was the right thing to do. And as we can see and feel, the song's message as well as both versions of the Short Film/Music Video still applies to the world‘s current status. Michael was truly a innovative human being a once in a lifetime visionary Long Live The King Of Music Forever!👑❤🌟💯(Definitely would recommend reacting to Michael Jackson "Earth Song" Music Video and definitely get around to reacting to "They Don't Care About Us (Prison Version)" Music Video as well!)
They banned it because he talked about how his jewish handlers were treating him.
"Jew me, sue me, kick me, kike me."
And this one is so much better than the prison version. MJ with OLODUM is insane
The song isn't specifically about African Americans and the police. Before the prison version of the music video starts, it literally says that this isn't about any 1 specific race or people.
@@TheOneWhoSouls1405 That wasn't for/toward the message of the song. That was MJ saying this isn't against a specific race or religious group etc. it was mainly to set the record straight about who MJ wasn't against. But the song is 100% abut the mistreatment of African - Americans from Police READ THE LYRICS! And also MJ literally displayed the beating of Rodney King for a reason in the Prison Version, everything is strategic/genius when MJ is involved.
@@Milkers777 The song isn't about African Americans. That would imply that it is only about African Americans. Which is false. The song is about injustice and prejudice towards everyone. Why do you think he mentions jews in the song? Just because he mentions a specific group of people doesn't mean that the song is entirely about that one group.
“The song is in fact about the pain of prejudice and hate and is a way to draw attention to social and political problems. I am the voice of the accused and the attacked. I am the voice of everyone. I am the skinhead, I am the Jew, I am the Black Man, I am the White Man. I am not the one who was attacking. It is about the injustices to young people and how the system can wrongfully accuse them.” - Michael Jackson on “They Don’t Care About Us.”
Nowhere does this quote say that the song is about injustices towards African Americans alone. He mentions skinheads, blacks, jews, and whites. The opening text to the original music video is as follows:
"This film is not degrading to any one race, but pictorializes the injustices to ALL mankind." - Michael Jackson
You mentioned that the quote was only about him saying that it wasn't against any specific race. But you ignored the second half of the quote, where he says that it, "pictorializes the injustices to ALL mankind". Which would include more than just black people.
So I am correct when I say that the song isn't only about black people.
Que honra Mj ter gravado um vídeo no Brasil, bom demais.
man in the mirror live
Id love them to do the 1988 Grammys version of Man in The Mirror or Bucharest!
Live in Bucharest was THE best
Was amazing ✨🎶
THE KING, GREATEST OF ALL TIME
Please do SCREAM next! Amazing duet song with his sister Janet, also the most expensive music video of all time TO THIS DAY!!
MUCH LOVE LONG LIVE THE KING ♥
Yes!!!!
"Remember The Times" is definitely a must
MJ Grammy performance is the greatest live performance of his ever, epic!
PLEASE react to a 'peak' Michael Jackson's 1988 Grammy's live performance. He did 'Man in the Mirror' and a jazzy 'The Way You Make Me Feel', pretty please lol love the reactions guys, love from Ireland!
His song and video "Earth Song"are strong and very touching to many.
"Stranger In Moscow" is pretty deep.
"Little Susie" is one that makes a lot of people cry. 😢
Respect to you two for reacting to the FULL VERSION!! NO ONE ELSE HAS EVER REACTED TO IT BEFORE. The estate released the edited version to his TH-cam 🙄
I appreciate them for this as well this is why I live reaction channels because honestly I may sound crazy saying this but this is my first time seeing the extended version and I’m forever grateful 🥹🥰
The GOAT!!!
O Grupo Olodum, responsável por esta percussão pesada, é um dos muitos grupos Afro da cidade de Salvador no estado da Bahia. Se quiserem ouvir mais uma versão musical com o grupo Olodum, eu recomendo a música "Jerusalema". Boa reação.
Michael's singing about the prosecution he experience.
Yeah people miss that aspect of the song somehow...🤔
Salvador, Bahia - Brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Not only is it a 10/10 song the songwriting and production is god level
5:37, As a Brazilian, i can say that Michael knew how the country has always had social problems, no, it wasn't just at that time that the country was going through difficulties and clear differences in life between people, the favelas and basically in any city that exists in Brazil, there have always been and always will be people who will be suffering in silence because the government "doesn't care about them." Michael was a genius in coming to the favela to show how these ignored people fit into the context of his music.
Ppl Reacting to MJ is surreal ....
Loved you noticing how he changes his vocal delivery to catch the essence of the song. That I'd say is almost the biggest part of his genius as a vocalist. The fact that he does it and the fact that he can execute it so well. Especially that comment from you confirms to me that you're paying attention to what you're listening to. Not many (if almost any tbh) people have mentioned that part about his vocals from what I've watched of videos like these (or in comment sections etc).
It's always interesting to hear your thoughts. 👍
Smooth Criminal is arguably his best music video of all time. Featuring so many iconic things and aspects regarding him. Not a single person has criticizes on it
I remember Nostalgia Critic, while praising it as being better than Thriller, also admits that the section in the middle where the music cuts out is kinda weird.
@@jp3813I always referred to that section as an extacy trip😂
@@jp3813I saw the director doing a commentary somewhere and he said the point of the musical break in the middle is that it is unexpected, and it brings the high energy down, which then contrasts to when it suddenly kicks back in again. The video just carrying on without that moment is ‘expected’ and therefore suddenly cutting it off surprises the audience, which we know Michael was all about. Never predicable. When you watch it back with that in mind, it does then make more sense. I think the quote was to knock it down to build it back up.
@@goldencherry9033 I think part of the criticism was that it went for too long, and everyone was doing random things like shouting, clapping, bobbing heads, etc...
BRASSSSILLLLL !!!!
King Michael 🇧🇷 ❤❤👑✌🏻
Mike was a leader
One of the most iconic songs
Until nowadays in Salvador-Bahia (where the video was recorded) you can find a tribute to Michel. Michael with opened arms in a balcony reminding us the message he wanted about “Social equality”. The king of pop forever and ever! 🤍
I did not know that, where can I find an image of that?🥰
@@Isla-g4xSearch for “michael jackson pelourinho monumento manequim” on google ;)
Michael released this track in 1996, and it's from his HIStory album released in 1995 after the false allegations in 1993. The album has many personal songs relating to the allegations such as this one where he is empathising with victims of the system, as he was a victim of it himself. Here is his actual quote explaining the song:
"The song is in fact about the pain of prejudice and hate and is a way to draw attention to social and political problems. I am the voice of the accused and the attacked. I am the voice of everyone. I am the skinhead, I am the Jew, I am the Black Man, I am the White Man."
This is absolutely legendary and purely beautiful ⚡️
Michael Jackson forever ❤❤❤❤❤🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
You NEED to do LIBERIAN GIRL.....one of the MOST underrated songs/videos
Finalmente alguém fez a reação do vídeo COMPLETO! Fico feliz por isso pois acho errado a versão da conta oficial dele não ter, é isso rs
Viva ao meu Brasil, até hoje amamos MJ ❤🇧🇷
Melhor dia que o Brasil já teve
King. Michael. 😮😊
Spike Lee directed both versions of this video. 😎👍🏾
LOVE this song and the video also,boy,what a-GREAT-treat for that city and the citizens there in Brazil to not see MJ up pretty close,then have a video filmed there as well. Those 2 women couldn't help themselves by grabbing MJ ( kinda funny too ) they saw their chance and took it. LOL. MJ just got up and soldiered on too. You rarely see american singers filming or doing a video (LIVE ) over-seas. NICE.
The Man in the Mirror is a must. The official video. It's an emotional plea.
Dangerous performance 1995, is mind blowing. Oh, and Jam video 😊
He chose Salvador, the capital of Bahia state, specifically the historic city center where the slave market used to be located, the exact square where he filmed the video. This is because Salvador has the largest black population in the Americas, descendants of enslaved people, and is known as the "Black Rome" or "Brazilian Africa." He also filmed parts in the favelas of Rio, which are mostly populated by black descendants of enslaved people. The group performing in the clip is Olodum, considered the biggest cultural group celebrating African culture in the world.
Fun fact about this song : This song caused a lot of controversy and MJ had to re record the song and shot one of the music videos here in Brazil , but this part of Brazil was owned by a really big drug lord and it wasn’t safe so MJ team got in contact with the drug lord and asked permission to film the MV there and he agreed the drug lord was a big fan of MJ🤘🏼
Hands down his best song after "Man in the mirror".
This is a first for me. I love seeing the kids.
In case you're wondering, this was shot in Salvador da Bahía, the most beautiful city in Brazil and also with the most laid-back vibe in the country, which says a lot seeing all of Brazil has that laid-back vibe, well except São Paulo perhaps.
PS: if you like that Brazilian drums, than there's an early 90s track which is famous for those drum bands in it, called 'Give It Up' by The Goodmen. I'll place a link of the TH-cam vid down below.
The Goodmen - 'Give It Up' th-cam.com/video/zGwEDj4j62s/w-d-xo.html
Michael Jackson is the best of all time 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🪴
U should watch when he visited Africa.. he was crowened as a king by the local population. He was worshiped in All over Africa
ALL BLACK FOLKS ACROSS THE PLANET LOVE MICHAEL, period.
A fantastic video from MJ is "Black or White" it was ground breaking at the time and has a great beat and guitar line.
2 him live in concert twice. Best entertainer ever and i have seen alot of music concerts. He is missed 😢😢
Next 'BAD' full version please. You will see Michael acting and the story line is amazing. He also sinflgs acapella. Its such a cool short movie.
EARTH SONG 🌍
Please react to the prison version of this song by Michael Jackson x
michael unico
This song has another version called "Prison Version," which I believe is better than this version. It perfectly fits with the lyrics of the song. You guys should check it out.
The king
please react to michael jackson stranger in moscow another amazing song you would love
“City or town or whatever…” It’s called a favela. I recommend watching the vice documentary on the favelas in Brazil or some other documentary about it. ♥️
mj o king o genio a lenda o mito o maior de todos os tempos brasil
We need Scream ft.Janet Jackson, love your reactions❤💪
Thats my favorit song of MJ 😍 you should also check out: remember the time (Short Film), Bad, Black or white, Liberian girl, Chicago 😊
Liberian Girl asap
"MICHAEL MICHAEL! ELES NÃO LIGAM PRA GEEEEENTE!"
They filmed in two different cities in Brazil.
Rio city and Salvador city. In a favela (very poor small dirty or not finished houses together) in Rio and Pelourinho place in Salvador (colorful historical buildings with all of that drumers - Olodum band).
This is the best version. Gotta love Sam.
Spike Lee directed this video. That explains the majestic visuals. Michael wanted to show the color of Brazil, predominantly Black, in the poverished section of Brazil. One of the most fantastic videos of Michael's.
your mj reactions is why i'm subscribed to you guys!
Utterly amazing song
Merci pour vos commentaires intéressants, Michael live Bucharest intro Jam est le morceau pop pour lequel Michael a réalisé une mise en scène presque parfaite.
Impressionante essa música,essa batida vai na alma❤
OLODUM!!! 🎉❤ 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
I love my city
I can't believe as a Moon walker i never seen the end of they don't care about us music video like what i didn't know there was more after
Haven’t heard this song in years. Keep up the reactions guys, loving them. Gotta get some more Sabaton back on the channel 🎉
Blood on the dance floor or You rock my world is a good next
In all my years I've been a HUGE fan of Michael, I didn't know that last bit after the music stopped even existed!...Mikes choreography is always on point. Damn
This song is still so relevant now , its a call for action for the injustice around the world. People should unite and not take the bait of being divided
This is my favorite version of this song
Michael even was in Russia. We, russians, still remember and love him)
The History is also HiStory. It's a very political album that merges his personal experience with the collective experience. He has lived the oppression he sings about and his frustration is present in many songs beyond this one like Scream, This Time Around, Earth Song, DS, and Money. A wonderful album with Stranger in Moscow especially shining
Michael. Magico. Genio. ❤
Massive kudos to whoever sent you the link with the extended drums, its awesome! And thanks for doing the longer version, much appreciated :-) Loving this MJ journey!
This song also has 2 music videos! U need to watch the other one too. It’s titled „they don’t care about us prison version“
Loved Your Michael Jackson reaction; I would love to recommend MJ's 1995 MTV Performance one of His Best and more extensive dance performances; and some of His Great Videos; " The earth song" " Remember the Time""Smooth Criminal"and "Stranger in Moscow " I believe You will Love Them All.🔥🔥🔥
He peformed this when i went to the History Tour. Unreal!!
I love the message of this song. There’s actually another video version of this song. More militarized
Spike Lee directed both versions of this video. Great work on both of them.
Thank you❤
This is the reason why he could go into a remote village and someone will know him
Can you guys react Mj we have enough and childhood
In 2010, a life-size statue of Michael Jackson was unveiled in the same clothes and in one of the poses from the clip in the Dona Marta community, one of the locations in the video. The drums were performed by Olodum, an Afro-Brazilian percussion school in the city of Salvador, Bahia.
Paul Simon came first in Brasil playing with Olodum the song "The Obvious Child"
Songs with a message from MJ: Earth Song ❤
I’d love for you two to react to SCREAM, Michael with sister Janet. Great song & video. You’ll love it! Thank you. Love, from Beautiful Oklahoma, USA🤍
Yesss 🎉🎉🎉 MJ again!
