About the Lean: Michael himself actually designed and patented the mechanism that would allow him and his dancers to lean forward like that without needing wires. He had a locking mechanism built in the hill of his shoes so that when it came time for the lean hooks would appear from underneath the stage and they would lock their hills in place so that they could perform the illusion. However, it took training and a hell of a strong core to pull the trick flawlessly.
The guy coming on stage with the stick of dynamite was a distraction to pull your attention away from Michael and his dancers hooking their shoes into the hooking mechanism in the floor
If you pay attention to him dancing right after wards you will also see the wire pulling up on the back of his jacket. In other performances you can actually see where he gets ready to hook it up. But its the shoes and a tiny wire for stabilization, but still requires tremendous core strength.
Even though whatever bullshit they speak might be true, I just hate the fact that they discredit his talent because of what he did. Whatever happened happened, it's bad yeah, but saying he sucks is just insane.
@@kitrodriguez992I see you're uncertain on wether or not he was guilty of the allegations against him, as for me, based on the info I've read and seen, I'm 100% convinced he was absolutely innocent!! I'd put my life on it. And I'm not even a diehard fan. You're right though, theres no doubt the man was next level talented.
@@kitrodriguez992 but most of it is just slander for the tabloids. Bad news sells more apparently and some people are just jealous of what he's accomplished
Michael is everything and beyond. I was unbelievably blessed to have seen him live twice at Wembley in 1997, visit Neverland in 2004 and meet him in 2006. Watch squareonemj. Thank you guys. 💖🤘
I was in Gothenborg Sweden in 1997 and it was memorising. Me and a buddy of me talked about after the concert we couldn't really remember all because you had to keep up with the show, music, dance, message in the songs and the space Michael always gave Jennifer, Axal Al, Sugarfoot, his dancers and backgrounds singers. It was too much to take in.
Smooth Criminal is one of my all time favourites, the Music the theme and the spectacular dance moves that Mike puts on is a "clinic" it makes me wanna jam hard that only MJ can provide......... 😉🙌🏽✨️💙🤍🎶🎩
Can we just take a moment to honour 7:39 and the hat action. It’s blink and you’ll miss it, but those extra details that won’t necessarily get noticed but he adds in make Michael beyond the GOAT!
When I went to MJ on the HIStory tour, in Auckland NZ. Somehow managed to get myself right up the front. It was those gold pants that had me mesmerized, at just how muscly his legs were, thigh muscles were real.
I’m sure you’ve had loads of MJ reaction requests but a few especially great performances to watch; human nature live at Wembley 88, heartbreak hotel live at Yokohama 87, Billie Jean Motown 25, live at MTV awards 1995
There are bolts that raised up from underneath the floor and they slid their shoes on to the raised bolts then tilt forward then slide shoes back. Michael and his team invented a special shoe that would anchor him to the floor during the tilt. Michael patented shoe.
4:31 I always get mad when people pretty much ignore this move, it is literaly the hardest MJ move I have ever learned, actually I'm still learning it, for like months or even a year
You guys need to do Michael's 1995 VMA Performance. That has to be one of the best if not the best live performance I have ever seen. Talk about getting chills 🤯🔥❤️
its the heel thing. small metal rods come up from under the stage and lock into the heels. when the move is finished they slide their feet back to slide out of the rods, and rods retract back into the stage. think of the rods as a big screw. look at your hand and turn it into a "V" shape. like the volcan hand sign. thats what the bottom of the heel looks like. slides in. slides out. the real MV used wires tho.
*Nonverbal screeching* this is my fav MJ song! Thank you. ^_^ *later* OK, revealing some age here, but I remember some of the best times my class had in the schoolyard were playing this on illegal boomboxes and trying to imitate the dance moves, esp the moonwalk & lean of course. ^_^ I still work out to this. It's freaking amazing.
Michael Jackson Have a special shoe that have a hook under his shoe so it can hook the nail on stage same thing in music video and on stage nail raise up and down for the lean but like Michael say he wanted create illusion
The way they do the lean is that Michael Jackson would have nails in the stage in a specific area of the stage for that part of the song, and would slide the heel of his shoe onto the nail and the heel of his shoe had sort of a slit in it and that’s how he’d do the lean
Doing the lean needs to have increadibly strong legs esp. calf and front thigh muscles. MJ did forward lean in bigger angle than anyone else. He was storng as fck...impossible but he did it.
nice review, did you know that the idea of smooth criminal was taken from an old film with Fred Astaire, it was called The Band Wagon , take a look and see the similarities
@Kev and Dave please react to you rock my world live at his 30th anniversary it's personally one of my favorites also Chris Tucker and usher also danced with him onstage it was so fun
There are bolts in the floor and a special designing in the bottom of the shoes that’ll help them connect their feet to the floor and then the rest of the body will have to do the work

The world became empty without MJ
Truer words have never been spoken
Yes
The performance was fire 🔥🔥
certainly was :) -Dave
He is the king of pop, my forever legend. Can't be forgotten. I miss him so much.
Here here he will always be a legend 👍😁... Kev

At about 6:20 you can see the guy on the right almost falling trying to unhook his right shoe.
@@SureNot oh yeah! Never noticed that :) -Dave
Good to see people talking good on mj. Rather than the bullshit. Dude was a true musical legend.
Hell yeah 😁👍🙏... Kev
Yeah I am sick and tired of all the stinking negativity surrounding Mike,he doesn't deserve that :'(
Even though whatever bullshit they speak might be true, I just hate the fact that they discredit his talent because of what he did. Whatever happened happened, it's bad yeah, but saying he sucks is just insane.

My favorite Smooth Criminal performance!
Sweet 👍 😁... Kev

Watch squareonemj. Thank you guys. 💖🤘
This performance is what you call a master at work. Unbelievable. You should react to michael jackson human nature 1988 wembley
i love mj please more more mj
We plan on it 😀👍 - dave
Mj was and still best artist walked on this earth
Michael will never be forgotten. This performance will always be fire! 🔥
He could wear 3 different colors and still make them work
Yep🤭

Awesome 👍 😁... Kev
Loved this lads, that quote about "it wasn't look at me, it was look at THIS" is fantastic. Spot-on.
the king of kings , the greatest forever
Those gold pants!! Mike was fine AF 🔥
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
He's the best.
Sure is😁👍.... Kev
Jermaine Jackson said that the song, Smooth Criminal, is based on Serial Killer, Richard Ramirez The Night Stalker.
I love MJ..he performed this the year I was born! 1997💜R.I.P KING OF POP💜
There will NEVER be another MJ.
❤️
Smooth Criminal is one of my all time favourites, the Music the theme and the spectacular dance moves that Mike puts on is a "clinic" it makes me wanna jam hard that only MJ can provide.........
😉🙌🏽✨️💙🤍🎶🎩
Only Michael Jackson could make shiny gold pants look supremely fashionable, especially while singing and dancing.
Michael music is my favorite
The one and only! Michael Jackson!!!
The only artiste to ever make a dance move just his. The lean.
Forget the moon walk. But a simple lean. Lol damn he was good.
Awesome guys BIG fan for life of Michael thank you ❤👑❤👑❤👑❤👑💣💥🔥🔥🔥🔥great job young men
Can we just take a moment to honour 7:39 and the hat action. It’s blink and you’ll miss it, but those extra details that won’t necessarily get noticed but he adds in make Michael beyond the GOAT!
Its so fucking smooth

The greatest ever....the world has lost a genius..such a shame
Ye guys are are awesome!! Love from ireland.. Mike is the greatest dont@me
Please react to his performance of Dangerous live in Munich!
Will do, sounds like there's a ton to do :) -Dave
@@Davesmusicreactions Dangerous from 1995 MTV is better in my opinion.
@@fightersfan5363 it was awesome too but I don't think it was better, his moves weren't that good actually
@@daquavioushornswoggledilly1553 you’re saying the one in Munich is better than the MTV?
I’m sure you’ve had loads of MJ reaction requests but a few especially great performances to watch; human nature live at Wembley 88, heartbreak hotel live at Yokohama 87, Billie Jean Motown 25, live at MTV awards 1995
One of my favorite performances of Smooth Criminal
King of Music génie love mj 🙏🙏😍👏😱🎤🎶🎼👍💖😭
ngl this was the first and my favorite song i've ever heard and first time seeing who is MJ
Moonwalker was amazing!
Certainly was 😀 and Kevins never watched it! 🤪-dave
The best smooth criminal live performance
MJ is not just a name. MJ was an Era 😢😢
Great Performance 🍾
Yes! More MJ please
You should react to the whole concert in Copenhagen, 1997, HIStory tour. Honestly one of his best concerts.
Smooth criminal on moonwalker!!! The effing b est!! STILL gives me goosebumps now
The GOAT
I was there and I consider myself so very lucky 😃
Went to 3 of his concerts in Munich and loved every second of it 😍 ❤
The greatest entertainer of all time alived.
There are bolts that raised up from underneath the floor and they slid their shoes on to the raised bolts then tilt forward then slide shoes back. Michael and his team invented a special shoe that would anchor him to the floor during the tilt. Michael patented shoe.
Amazing performance and great reaction. Thanks for making it!
Another must watch by MJ is the 1995 live performance of Dangerous.
4:31 I always get mad when people pretty much ignore this move, it is literaly the hardest MJ move I have ever learned, actually I'm still learning it, for like months or even a year
I know what you mean. I tried myself some time back. Has an element of tap dance in there but looks so cool -Dave
You guys need to do Michael's 1995 VMA Performance. That has to be one of the best if not the best live performance I have ever seen. Talk about getting chills 🤯🔥❤️
MJ inimitable et inégalable
vrai
Hope you spotted me in the crowd there!
Ohhhh really wow what a fantastic memory to have, well jealous 👍😁... Kev

Nice trick... Gave that shock reaction so did the job... 😁 👍... Kev
Ah, guys, thank you for your reactions!!! I'm a huuuuge MJ fan :D

More MJ

Do

I’d love to see you guys react to more MJ, loved your reaction 😍
Moonwalker 🥺
Doing the lean needs to have increadibly strong legs esp. calf and front thigh muscles. MJ did forward lean in bigger angle than anyone else. He was storng as fck...impossible but he did it.

For the body lean: I think hooks in the soles of the shoes.
nice review, did you know that the idea of smooth criminal was taken from an old film with Fred Astaire, it was called The Band Wagon , take a look and see the similarities
he has screws in his shoes that go in the stage holding him up

Moonwalker classic
There are bolts in the floor and a special designing in the bottom of the shoes that’ll help them connect their feet to the floor and then the rest of the body will have to do the work
