10:48 "it's a wonderful day!" 🤗😂 omggg Seph loll why is he the cutest thing ever 😭😭 this is so random but soo sweet he was precious too pure for this world I swear 🥰🥰 how have I never seen this interview before? This is now my favorite cuse at this time everything was going so well for him he just looks sooo happy and free, full of life
This interview was the turning point for me! Up until then i didn't *Truly* understand what his deal was. Now i get it... He's a man who never grew up but just got more intelligent with time. Not childish, but childlike. This is the reason why he preferred to be around children, he understood them more then adults. Full transparency Saramaria! before watching this i was on the fence about the accusations!... But after watching it i KNEW without even knowing all the details that he didn't do what they accused him of doing! I cannot express my love for this interview!! ❤️❤️ And ever since i watched it my love for MJ grew and grew! 😍 He went from someone i had actively avoided for YEARS because of the lies of the media, to a guy i listen to every day! ❤️
@@SephPlays omgg yess I'm so happy about that Seph so beautiful what you said ❤❤ there's even one time he was performing and there was a bug on stage and he literally called security and asked them to take it out cause he didn't want to step on it and asked them not to kill it!! 😭 like this man couldn't even harm a bug and they're telling me he would hurt a child??? He was just so isolated and sheltered during his childhood and teenage years he just didn't know what "normal" was cause he never got to experience it, the stage was all he knew and everything else was new, he was literally just starting to live and learn about life around the time Thriller was released, there's an interview from 1983 at the height of his success and he's so shy he says that he's afraid of people and the interviewer asked who were his real close friends and poor Michael couldn't even answer at first he stopped and said it was his fans 😢😢 he said he was just beginning to learn about friendship and he was over 20, he was an easy target, that's why he was so close to animals, for people to take his love for children and try to twist it is just horrible, his mom said the one regret she had was that she did not prepare him to the world cause the world is evil 💔💔
MJ was a child prodigy turned genius..he actually had a very high IQ also.. he was an enigma. MJ is Magic, his body was like an instrument and he was the music ❤
Sorry for my millions of comments lol I keep thinking of things to say. Michael and LaToya used to really close and they even lived together in New York for a bit in 1977 or 1978 (I forgot which) while Michael was filming The Wiz but within ten years or so they wouldn't be as close and sorta had a fallen out to no real fault of LaToya's because she was in an abusive relationship and her husband made her say horrible things about her family and mainly Michael. They mended their relationship later but they were never as close
This interview is one of the reasons why the Thriller era is my favourite but it makes me sad when I see how happy and stuff he is here and knowing what happened to him ten years later
Michael: "When I was little I grew up in an adult world. I grew up on stage. I grew up in night clubs. When I was seven, eight years old I was in nightclubs. I saw striptease girls take off all their clothes. I saw fights break out. I saw people throw up on each other. I saw adults act like pigs. That's why to this day I hate clubs. I don't like going to clubs - I did that already, I've been there. That's why I compensate now for what I didn't do then. So when you come to my house, you'll see I have rides, I have a movie theatre, I have animals. I love animals - elephants and giraffes and lions and tigers and bears, all kinds of snakes. I get to do all those wonderful things that I didn't get to do when I was little, because we didn't have those things."
@@SephPlays I highly recommend Michael's biographical song "Childhood". In which he asks, "Have you seen my childhood." The first time I heard this song, knowing about his childhood and his life, it was very hard for me not to cry.
Since you loved the way Michael sounded when he sang here in that soft high voice (and don't worry he has plenty of songs like that which you'll hear later) I'd recommend an unreleased song from the Thriller era called Dream Away it's beautiful
I know what you mean but The Girl Is Mine was always going to be on the album no matter what because it was with Paul. The label immediately decided that that would the first single of the album and because of it the critics at the time didn't have high expectations and were questioning if Michael could ever do better than Off The Wall
@@SarahAli-oc8hyexactly. Not saying the girl is mine a terrible song but Michael would have been better doing it without a duet. I just feel it messes up the track with Paul as it's just one of those songs
I'm a skeptical person of any God, but it's still very beautiful how michael talked about spirituality, about music coming to him in a divine way, about him being an instrument of nature to transmit music, it's very beautiful.❤
That is Latoya. She was also in a few of his videos. Say Say Say and The Way You Make Me Feel. They are at Hayvenhurst the family mansion. This was their second home when they moved from Gary Indiana.
MJ was so full of life & so humble I love how he never took credit for his work he always gave that back to God and we all need to do that more cause taking credit for everything can put you on a high horse and MJ never did dat always gave the credit to the Lord above also I love that he always loved children he truly did which is why the devilish media try to use it against him and damage his soul and image smh MJ didn’t deserve none of the things he went through also I love MJ mentioned “Liberian Girl” that song went on his 1987 album “BAD” Long Live The King Of Music Michael Joseph Jackson Forever🙏🏽🙌🏽👑❤️✨
Awww he had the sweetest voice and spirit, makes me want to hug him 🥰😭🥰 so gentle with his llama 🦙😊 I loved Michael ever since I was little and this makes me love him even more, what an incredible insight into his spirit and focus. No wonder he hated being interviewed later in life, having to answer so many ridiculous questions, when THIS is the kind of stuff he's interested in and inspired by, he's very ungarded and comfortable, just talking about magic, what he liked, it's a shame later on in his life they didn't care much to talk about his creative process or leave any space to invite or encourage this kind of conversation, I could watch this all day, it actually inspires me 💕✨️✨️
He named his ranch neverland because it’s his place where he can return to his childhood because he never had one he also really loved Peter Pan Mickey Mouse tinker bell etc
FUN FACT ✅ This is the Jackson Family compound in Encino, Los Angeles. (before Michael had Neverland) you can now visit the actual property every halloween during a charity event held by Michael's son Prince Jackson.
Omg how can something from 43 years ago give me so much joy every time!! He really was special and the CUTEST most adorable thing during the Off The Wall and Thriller eras!! ❤❤ this is so precious omg how I treasure this interview!! 😍 my poor baby Michael before all the bad stuff started happening in his life 😭😭🦋💗 I'm sooo happy you understand Michael after watching this interview and I think anyone who watches this and don't fall in love with Michael and doesn't see how sweet he is then something is wrong with them! I like to think this is Michael in heaven if there is heaven, singing happy surrounded by his animals and nature and magic 🥰🥰💖❤😊
I love this interview, its so spontaneous and natural and Michael was still really happy, before all those horrible things that destroyed his life😔 I would really love if his life had always been like this, I'm sure without all those allegations, Michael would still be alive (this is one of the main reasons of his death, in the last years of his life he was dead inside)😔 Anyway now I'm going to name all his siblings, you'll learn to recognize them as time goes by: Brothers (Randy, Jermaine, Marlon, Jackie, Tito, Brandon but unfortunately he died at birth), Sisters (Janet, La Toya, Joh'Vonnie and Rebbie, the eldest). That's the llama Michael brought into the studio with Freddie haha. You really deserve this money Seph, love your videos🔥
Ok first off, thank you ever so much for that Alex! It is completely unnecessary though, to be honest im more happy with the amazing help you've given me with knowing what is coming up next and your amazing comments "You really are very cool😎" Secondly... yeah! He was hounded by the media for all the wrong reasons so very sad! Especially after watching this interview. And thank you for the list! I know the names now i just have to try to learn what each of them look like haha
@@SephPlays I love giving money to the right people! I do it very, VERY rarely but you are one of those people hahah, btw one thing i didn't mention is this interview was done after Thriller, Thriller came out in 1982🔥
Such an adorable interview ❤ If you're curious about what he says when the sound cuts off at 19:14, I found another video of this interview a little bit more low quality but he says: "I think with any type of creation, you create what's inside of you, subcounsciously, what influences you. I'm a fantasy fanatic, anything that take you off into another world, escapism, that's what I like. I'm not so crazy about the reality of everything, I like a lot of fantasy and that's why I try to create, to get away, to become moved." His personality fascinates me 🥰 everytime I watch I wish I could protect him from all the evil people who tried to hurt and take advantage of him later on 😢
Omg he's such a sweetheart, pure soul, when he sings the Peter Pan song ❤😊 "I'm just living day to day, dreaming and wishing upon stars and all that magic stuff" 15:57 aww so precious I want to hug him I wish he was always this happy 😭🥰 and how are you as adorable as Michael 😭😭 you are so likeable 💕
23:51 to answer your question the Thriller album came out in late 1982, this interview was 1983, he had already done Motown 25 although I'm not sure if it had aired yet but if I had to guess I'd say it probably would have, and Thrilker became the highest selling album of all time in early (I think early) 1984
so much joy here💜I call this the ‘magic interview’💜he’s on cloud nine from the success of ‘thriller’. his dreams have come true, and he’s more optimistic than ever before 💜he’s unguarded in the natural environment that he created. I used to have this on vhs 📼 I would begin my day with it, and feel inspired. this is how I choose to remember him💜 ‘another banger’ as you would say😊 that’s the Jacksons home hayvenhurst.
15:37 Buffalo Bull was a song that eventually became "Al Capone" which became "Smooth Criminal". Unfortunately, while those other two songs have been released, Buffalo Bill has yet to see the light of day.
MJ had an INCREDIBLE pitch accuracy with his voice, that's just a fact. The channel "Wings of Pegasus" has some really fascination videos going over examples of his singing in unprocessed form; before any mixing or the like. And any footage of his singing A Capella, even small little things like here, are also able to showcase this skill well. :D Also, thank you for taking us along on your journey of discovery of this mans legacy. I hadn't actually ever seen this interview before now, so that was something really special to enjoy alongside your insight!
Seph! I am screaming with excitement haha. I LOVE this interview and I believe at some point I suggested it in comments for you. I am SOOO happy you reacted to this! A few thoughts: 1) Michael's love of animals is one of the purest and most beautiful things in the world. People found it weird, I think, to see a man so gentle, kind, and sensitive. But this is one of his most attractive qualities as a human being, IMO. Also, I very much see his view of children the same as his view of animals. It's just an appreciation for innocence. This is a man who grow up in an entirely adult world. He saw the dirty behind-the-scenes nature of the music industry. He grew up performing in strip clubs (literally) when he was 5 years old. He toured with adults around the world. He NEVER got to appreciate just being a child. So when you say toward the end that it is a choice for him to be this way, I think that is true. He chose to maintain a childlike sense of wonder, joy, and awe. He chose to not be cynical and to lean into the beauty of the world, instead of the darkness. But he was NOT naive and he was not some man-child. He understood a lot more about the seedy aspects of life than I think most people realized. He just didn't emulate them himself. 2) Aside from some of those childlike qualities he had, he was also very much a businessman, very savvy, very bold. He was in total control of his own performances and recordings, especially after Thriller. He was very much a normal "man" in certain ways, but he was also very unique. I think his masculinity as a performer really explodes in the Bad era, but it's never performative IMO. It's very genuine and raw. That's why I think Michael confuses people so much. He is man with childlike wonder and enthusiasm for life, while also being a beast as an artist. He was an exceptionally private person, in spite of appearing so open, so I think people have misconceptions, trying to fill in the dots. Also, I think part of what we see in interviews like this, some of the uniqueness of his personality is the result of him being a literal *genius.* 3) His random singing is insane, isn't it??? His voice is just staggering. I love the effect it had on you! :) He has the voice of an angel and it is so effortless. 4) There is so much more I can say, but I'll wrap up here. I just LOVE seeing the affection you have for Michael. It is so wonderful. I remember your very first reaction to him and you were quite blown away by him, but you were questioning some stuff you didn't know about (understandably). But then every reaction since, it's like you're learning another layer about him as an artist and person. I'm telling you, I think it's impossible to learn about him and not fall in love with him as a person, as well as an artist. Other people have charisma, but Michael has something that goes far beyond that to me. He talks about magic so much, but he is the literal embodiment of magic. I find many artists charming and charismatic, but no one stops me in my tracks like Michael. Anyway, I'm just so glad you're on this journey. And seeing you react so purely and genuinely to him makes me really happy, so thank you 😊
So sad he was bullied by the media later on😢 and called freak, wacko and wierd 😭.. so sad what greed and jealousy does when all MJ was doing was trying to bring people together
@@SarahAli-oc8hy I totally agree. It's horrible. One of the MANY reasons no modern artists should be compared to him. MJ had massive appeal and success in spite of an ongoing, relentless media campaign to destroy his career starting as early as the mid-80s. He succeeded against all odds and broke records until the day he passed. He was/is legendary. But he didn't deserve a shred of the unkindness he received.
"He chose to not be cynical and to lean into the beauty of the world, instead of the darkness". THANK YOU!!! THIS WAS A PROFOUND OBSERVATION ON YOUR PART. YOU GET MICHAEL. YOU REALLY REALLY GET HIM! I LOVE YOU 😂
And what you said about him being almost like a child is so true, many people who knew him said the same, you should listen to his song "With A Child's Heart", it's from his 1st or 2nd solo album and he was like 13 when it was released but I swear that song is all about him and it's so beautiful, Michael's voice sounds really angelic, I guess he really took this song to his heart and lived by it ❤
Can I just recommend for future album reactions that when you listen to a song for the first time that you listen to the audio first and then do the short film/ music video in a separate video may be. Because in my opinion when you reacted to Billie Jean which I think was your first time hearing it (somehow lol) that you focused on the video and trying to make sense of it instead of listening to the song and the lyrics and story and stuff a bit too much
Wow you reacted to this!! This is one of my favorite interviews!! Would you say he was 25 here?? He was certainly different from any 25 year old I know; just so cute 🥰 he said adults have let him down, judged him, children never did, people just couldn't understand that...
Omg you react to Michael too ❤ he's so sweet I love how he appreciates all the simple litlle things, I think it's a very special quality and something we forget to do! Ok wait a minute the owner of this channel is just as adorable as Michael! 😂😂❤ I had to subscribe!
I don't know if anyone answered your question about where this is filmed, but this is the Jackson family's Encino home. He bought it from his parents a some point and remodeled an continued to live there with him family untill shortly before the Bad album when he bought Neverland. The Jackson Family still owns it, and I was the main family hub untill a few years after he passed. Katherine and Michaels kids moved out to Calabasas. They still own the Encino house but I can't remember which Jackson's are living there now.
Thank u seph for this beautiful reaction and the nice things that u mentioned about Michael at the end which actually made me respect u more than i do my friend❤❤. Alot of people misunderstood Michael and misquoted him also but this because their minds are not pure and innocent, Michael said once " never judge a person until u talk to him one on one i don't care what the conversation is " and if those people think of that for a second they will find that no one does something wrong and talks about it in every interview that's ridiculous. He was so pure and loving so he didn't think that much to tell the things that he like out of innocence. And yeah he called the ranch Neverland because he loves Peter Pan alot and he inspired him but this interview was in parents home . By the way , u are right it was his choice to be like that and to sound like that also as Michael's voice deeper than that u can tell from his vocal range (and his vocal coach said that he has deep voice but he always preferred that soft voice and that actually helped him alot as it is like doing exercise all the time so your voice never gets old) but he was sooo knowledgeable as well . he was obsessed with reading his library contains 10000 books and he read them all. and i don't think u know but he was a great painter, his portraits was insane. No one mentally ill or childish do that ... Sorry for being so long but i have to say that because it's not just thinking or being a fan that makes me believe in his innocence i searched and listened to the 2 sides and find true proofs so it's not fair Thanks again friend unfortunately there are no facts today 😂😂 Great reaction god bless u ❤
I have to admit this was very interesting! The guy was freakin chased by the media for the most stupid of things ya know!? He was obviously super intelligent as you can read that in his lyrics and some of the things he says are quotable!! He certainly wasn't mentally ill or childish, This interview proves that! Childlike is a more apt description in my opinion.
@@SephPlaysAnother thing ✨ I just want to tell u that i almost comment on every mj reaction of yours sice the very first day you started to react to him and to be honest it's not my cup of tea, i don't feel comfortable when i share information with people in general but u are so friendly seph so if u have this attitude for your channel then thank u for making us the viewers comfortable 🌹and if it is in your soul then keep yourself like that as it's a rare quality nowadays 🤍🤍
LOL lovely Louie the llama! You can tell Louie feels Mike's positive energy. Many of Michael's animals were rescued from circuses and other performances.
Hello friend I'm new here, what a lovely fun reaction video! He really had the heart of a child, if only people tried to understand the psychology behind why Michael was the way that he was. He became famous when he was only 8 years old, being the lead singer and star of the Jackson 5. Singing and performing way before that, since 5. Imagine the impact at that age. Could not make a single wrong move or sing a wrong note or his father would beat him brutally. He HAD to be perfect. That is a huge amount of pressure for a child. He grew up with no toys, no permissions to have friends or play in parks. He celebrated no birthdays and no holidays. He didnt even celebrate Christmas until his early 30s. He got psychologically, physically and emotionally @bused and tormented by his father more than any of his siblings, no love or affection ever shown or felt from him, with a mother who, despite being affectionate, only stopped the beatings when it "got too bad". It was impossible for him to be what we consider to be "normal". I have a degree in psychology and in my opinion, I believe Michael suffered from a form of age regression from extreme childhood trauma. The trauma was so deep that it affected him for the rest of his life, you can even see it in some of his interviews, where a 21 year Michael talks about his father, terrified to even say he was "too strict" in fear that his father was "going to kill him". At 21. Laughing to hide the pain. Unsurprisingly, Michael grew up very socially awkward and isolated himself during his teenage years, very insecure about his appearance due to puberty and the bullying from his father, never quite knowing how to deal with the outside world and being off the stage. Not being able to relate to people his age cause they had completely different interests.
I agree with almost all you said however the real reason he never celebrated Christmas is totally due to his mother being Jehovah Witness as well as her involving Michael in the religion too. It's not fair to put 100% fault for Michael's missing out on certain things all on his dad.
Oh! Seph I love and adore this interview, I'm so glad you react to it, I remember very well the first time I watched it. For me was like very random in the beginning, because is not like any typical interview of him and then more I listen to MJ more I started to love him like 1000%. I never going to believe that this man did something wrong to any children. Oh! I'm so happy I found your chanel, because I can not really share this kind of moment with anyone in my real life, I try it but is like they don’t get that excitement....I really love how you got to understand the man behind the magic
I honestly feel it’s not wrong to say you want to spend time with children nowadays it’s folks out there with the nasty minds that think negatively about pure natural loving things like that MJ was a victim of this evil world we live in turning the one thing he loved the most against him which is children and he wasn’t childish he was childlike✍🏽👑💯[Please React to Michael Jackson “Disneyland 25th Anniversary (1980)”]
I love his voice it's so pleasing to listen to ❤ both while talking and singing 😊 7:31 so soft and sweet 😭😍 and he seems so at peace here and looks soo happy it makes me smile 💗 this video brings me such comforting peaceful vibes I can't even express how much I love it 😭💖 nice seeing La Toya!
When he was really little, his mother said, he was dancing to the rhythm of the washing machine. They had an old machine which made a special noise, and he was dancing to it😊.
People say MJ was weird but all of us are different, I think he was definitely unique which is not necessarily a bad thing, he was just special, watching this he seemed like a very genuine, real, fun guy to me
It's said Michael liked to read a lot of books of various things and you can tell he's very inteligent when he talks about his llama, that they're from the same family as the camel and alpacas and that they're from South America, I definitely didn't know that 😂
He’s childlike not childish tho MJ didn’t choose or pretend to be this way he never had a childhood at all! It was always something to do cause he was a child prodigy being in the music industry since 11 years old and doing music since 7
@@SephPlays Not a choice. It's neurological. I often meet people like him. They are alone and only get along with children. Like MJ on tour or at his home.
You know, I think it's really beautiful that he tried to keep his inner child alive, he seemed generally happy during this time, it's so sad because you can see how he changed over the years, in the sense that he became sadder and much more reserved I would say, he couldn't go out and everything he did people judged and he couldn't feel free to enjoy what he enjoyed anymore, so he built Neverland, the place of his dreams, and still, people wanted to destroy it and sadly, it worked, his sanctuary got destroyed by greedy people because of these ridiculous allegations and multiples raids and he said it wasn't his home anymore, just a house, he never went back there again after the 2005 trial. He looked so tired in the 2000s. It seems like people can't stand to see someone successful and happy, you can't be positive and kind, they will become jealous and do everything to bring you down.
I was going to request this interview haha 😂 you're right, it's not a mental disorder or anything like that at all cause yes he was very childlike but he was also very inteligent and smart especially when it came to his creative process, he was like a genius lol, he was just a very sensitive soul who loved animals and children and liked to have fun and play, the fact is that Michael never hid this side of him and what he liked, he lost his childhood so he just wanted to experience what he never could as a child as an adult, that's why he had an amasument park and a zoo and a movie theater in his home but instead of enjoying it all by himself he decided to share it with other less fortunate kids so that they could also have a childhood and he invited many families as well, like how sweet is that, unfortunately society couldn't understand that so they called him weird, a freak, "wacko jacko"... they were very cruel to him, it wasn't malicious he just couldn't understand what he had done wrong 💔😢😢 anyway sorry I really enjoyed your reaction ❤❤ so nice that you understand him
This the most adorable interview I have ever watched ❤ always come back to it and it never fails to cheer me up, it's amazing that this interview is like 40 years old but I feel so much joy and positivity through this video, his aura is just so beautiful, love his positivity and his passion talking about magic and everything that inspires him and how he's so connected to nature 💕💕 there's not many people in the world like him, he just seems soo sweet and happy especially during the Trhiller and OTW days!! Well, happier than he ever was after this, It's a shame the way people treated this kind sweet soul as the years went by 😢😢 I sense no evil or darkness in him, he seems full of love, look how gently he treated his llama and sang so softly and beautifully 😭 I think his light was so bright that people couldn't understand it or accept it so they tried everything to bring him down so they would feel better and you are totally right, I feel like he loved children because they are innocent and saw HIM, Michael the person, not what he had, what he looked like or any of this superficial stuff, if there is heaven, I truly hope he is up there right now, singing happily with his animals and like he said surrounded by magic just like in this interview, cause this world did not deserve him.
Damn seeing Michael so happy here and knowing what would happen just a few years after this is actually sad, Michael was never that free and comfortable while doing an interview ever again
Ok Seph I have to say, when I first watched this I fell in love with Michael immediately!! Lol, he is so fascinating! I guess that's also what happened to you?? I mean I didn't have any opinion about him to "change my mind", I knew a few of his songs and watched a few of his performances and thought he was very talented but other than that I didn't know anything about his life or what he was like, and there is something about him that's very captivating and just makes me want to hug him haha I don't know, so cute! ❤🥰 I think what got me was the fact that he was 24 in this and still had such an innocence and fun and joyful aspect about him that he appreciated and loved all the simple little things about life that we normally don't really stop to appreciate, like a flower, sunset, dawn, butterflies, all the animals, children, nature, people, I don't know I mean he just seems so genuine, it's just so rare and special, that really sparked my interest to know more about him, and what really breaks my heart is that bad greedy people really wanted to take that away from him in the most cruel way, he suffered so much all of his life, and still all he wanted to do was to heal the world and make people happy, I watched an amazing documentary about all his humanitarian efforts (which I really hope you react to), he went to a hospital and did not stop until he found a liver for a little boy who was dying, he saved him! One of many, no one talks about that, he's such a lovely soul! After watching more documentaries and his interviews, I gained such an appreciation and love for him, as a person more than anything, he really was magic ♥️😢 this interview has now a special place in my heart ❤
Cute story, Michael was having dinner with friends or whoever, and just general dinner conversation but as quiet and shy as Michael is, Michael then announced in his quiet voice, "I have a llama" LOL
And I must say you're so cute and there is something about you that is so welcoming! You're so fun 😁 I just noticed that you have a whole Michael playlist I think I'm gonna have to subscribe and watch it all hahah 🥰
This is a beautiful interview, it's like a reminder, I think we all should be a little more like Michael and appreciate and see the beauty in nature and animals and all the simple things ❤ I feel like we don't really stop to appreciate the little things enough and actially naturally we tend to lose that magic as we age but he never did! Very inspirational 😊 oh and I just remembered some theories and studies say that people actually kinda stop growing from the moment they become famous like their minds, they get stuck there, obviously I don't think there's confirmation to this but it's certainly interesting, if there's any truth to this imagine Michael, that became famous when he was only 8 years old!! 😮😮 and he never had a childhood, It can kinda explain why Michael acted so childlike, what do you think Seph?? 🤔🤔
Speaking of the moon...... there is a song called "Scared of the Moon" I can't remember which album I think it's Blood on the Dance Floor which you'll be doing next, but it is a lovely, lovely song, a must hear
If you have time can you react to these videos: “Michael Jackson’s Private home movies” (it was a tv special) “Michael Jackson Prime Time interview 1995” (this was an interview with his wife at the time Lisa Marie Presley) “Michael Jackson Oprah interview”
That video was not filmed in Neverland. It was at his old home before Neverland. This was filmed 5 years before he moved into his Neverland Ranch home.
Hello first time on your channel you're very funny!! Michael is soo cute really like a child, he says the reason why he Neverland is because he related to Peter Pan and the youth and that he was a child at heart! 🥰 the world was so cruel to him 😭😭 you should react to his Oprah interview if you want to know more about what he thinks :)
He was a genius! Of course, a genius sees things and acts differently from ordinary people but it doesn’t mean genius is abnormal. It’s just people don’t understand Genius and may be jealous of him. It’s not a crime to be different, right?!
Michael was sitting at his family home in Encino California. I've been there too LOL) fountain really drowns out his voice. Michael was still living at home with his parents at this point
"Buffalo Bill" was never released. "Liberian Girl" is a great song from the Bad album. I don't recommend the video, but the acoustic version. The video detracts too much from this wonderful song.
I agree! The video was a baller move and really showed his power in the industry. But it totally detracts (and distracts!) from the beauty of the song itself. I think it's worth watching the video, but not for a first time reaction to the song itself.
This was at his and his brothers and sisters and his parents Hayvenhurst home. They moved to that home in 1971. Michael moved out in 1988 when he bought the Neverland Ranch. So he moved to Neverland after his skin color changed.
Ok one last comment lol sorry, this is a beautiiful rare interview not many people have reacted to it and your reaction is the best that I've seen! The title said this is the interview that changed your mind, I'm new so I'm curious what do you mean by that? Did you not like Michael before? 💕
Up until watching this interview I disliked Michael Jackson as a person and believed in the false accusations. Growing up i purposefully avoided him and his songs. Only song i knew going into this was Thriller, i didn't even know what he looked like 😅 If it wasn't for this interview I probably would have given up on MJ and would have carried on believing the ridiculous accusations 😭 I some times look back and feel ashamed about the things I said about him. But I can't change the past, but i can certainly learn from it
@@SephPlays ohhh now I understand thank you! I haven't watched all the videos yet but I take it that you have now learned he facts of the cases and what the motivation was. Don't feel ashamed, you're right, what's important is that you now know the truth, actually it shows maturity and humility being willing to have a different perspective and open to the idea that you may have been wrong in what you thought, and also being willing to go out of your way to look for the facts and decide for yourself and not just accept what they want you to believe, from the first videos I watched I can tell you are a beautiful person ❤
@@TheresaWarnner-1 Its the reason i started to go through all his albums and life story in chronological order. I'm up to the HIStory album now. I can't post reactions to Jackson 5/the jacksons because of copyright issues, but anything that's just MJ seems to be ok. Ive learned a lot 😊
Seph I found this rare home video of him and his brothers and family members when Michael was still a teenager and look how adorable and attentive he is with the little kid ❤ while everyone is joking and talking loudly Michael is just shy in the background making sure the baby is okay and gets attention, it just shows he always had a loving connection to kids 😊 I don't see how anyone can see anything wrong here, here is the video: th-cam.com/video/wYjluCxGeHY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Ra7hMdoUefx6avAK
10:48 "it's a wonderful day!" 🤗😂 omggg Seph loll why is he the cutest thing ever 😭😭 this is so random but soo sweet he was precious too pure for this world I swear 🥰🥰 how have I never seen this interview before? This is now my favorite cuse at this time everything was going so well for him he just looks sooo happy and free, full of life
This interview was the turning point for me! Up until then i didn't *Truly* understand what his deal was.
Now i get it... He's a man who never grew up but just got more intelligent with time. Not childish, but childlike. This is the reason why he preferred to be around children, he understood them more then adults.
Full transparency Saramaria! before watching this i was on the fence about the accusations!... But after watching it i KNEW without even knowing all the details that he didn't do what they accused him of doing!
I cannot express my love for this interview!! ❤️❤️ And ever since i watched it my love for MJ grew and grew! 😍
He went from someone i had actively avoided for YEARS because of the lies of the media, to a guy i listen to every day! ❤️
@@SephPlays omgg yess I'm so happy about that Seph so beautiful what you said ❤❤ there's even one time he was performing and there was a bug on stage and he literally called security and asked them to take it out cause he didn't want to step on it and asked them not to kill it!! 😭 like this man couldn't even harm a bug and they're telling me he would hurt a child??? He was just so isolated and sheltered during his childhood and teenage years he just didn't know what "normal" was cause he never got to experience it, the stage was all he knew and everything else was new, he was literally just starting to live and learn about life around the time Thriller was released, there's an interview from 1983 at the height of his success and he's so shy he says that he's afraid of people and the interviewer asked who were his real close friends and poor Michael couldn't even answer at first he stopped and said it was his fans 😢😢 he said he was just beginning to learn about friendship and he was over 20, he was an easy target, that's why he was so close to animals, for people to take his love for children and try to twist it is just horrible, his mom said the one regret she had was that she did not prepare him to the world cause the world is evil 💔💔
MJ was a child prodigy turned genius..he actually had a very high IQ also.. he was an enigma. MJ is Magic, his body was like an instrument and he was the music ❤
Sorry for my millions of comments lol I keep thinking of things to say. Michael and LaToya used to really close and they even lived together in New York for a bit in 1977 or 1978 (I forgot which) while Michael was filming The Wiz but within ten years or so they wouldn't be as close and sorta had a fallen out to no real fault of LaToya's because she was in an abusive relationship and her husband made her say horrible things about her family and mainly Michael. They mended their relationship later but they were never as close
This interview is one of the reasons why the Thriller era is my favourite but it makes me sad when I see how happy and stuff he is here and knowing what happened to him ten years later
“Where else are you gonna take a llama?” If you’re MJ, to his studio to meet Freddie Mercury 😂😂😂
His studio was right there.. behind where they’re standing
Michael was so cute ❤❤❤
Adorable!
@@SephPlays yes
Michael: "When I was little I grew up in an adult world. I grew up on stage. I grew up in night clubs. When I was seven, eight years old I was in nightclubs. I saw striptease girls take off all their clothes. I saw fights break out. I saw people throw up on each other. I saw adults act like pigs. That's why to this day I hate clubs. I don't like going to clubs - I did that already, I've been there. That's why I compensate now for what I didn't do then. So when you come to my house, you'll see I have rides, I have a movie theatre, I have animals. I love animals - elephants and giraffes and lions and tigers and bears, all kinds of snakes. I get to do all those wonderful things that I didn't get to do when I was little, because we didn't have those things."
This just confirms my suspicions!
Thank you for this
@@SephPlays I highly recommend Michael's biographical song "Childhood". In which he asks, "Have you seen my childhood." The first time I heard this song, knowing about his childhood and his life, it was very hard for me not to cry.
He'll get to that eventually when he gets to the History era
That was the Jackson family home that they all grew up in after the Jackson 5 took off. I think it's called Havenhurst.
Since you loved the way Michael sounded when he sang here in that soft high voice (and don't worry he has plenty of songs like that which you'll hear later) I'd recommend an unreleased song from the Thriller era called Dream Away it's beautiful
And Carousal please... not sure why it never made it on the album
Because Human Nature replaced it
@@KD-cd2ck human nature is my fave, maybe Carousal should have replaced girl is mine lol
I know what you mean but The Girl Is Mine was always going to be on the album no matter what because it was with Paul. The label immediately decided that that would the first single of the album and because of it the critics at the time didn't have high expectations and were questioning if Michael could ever do better than Off The Wall
@@SarahAli-oc8hyexactly. Not saying the girl is mine a terrible song but Michael would have been better doing it without a duet. I just feel it messes up the track with Paul as it's just one of those songs
I'm a skeptical person of any God, but it's still very beautiful how michael talked about spirituality, about music coming to him in a divine way, about him being an instrument of nature to transmit music, it's very beautiful.❤
That is Latoya. She was also in a few of his videos. Say Say Say and The Way You Make Me Feel. They are at Hayvenhurst the family mansion. This was their second home when they moved from Gary Indiana.
This is my all time favorite interview by Mike so raw and real... And not only that, but he looks ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL IN THIS like goodness...
MJ was so full of life & so humble I love how he never took credit for his work he always gave that back to God and we all need to do that more cause taking credit for everything can put you on a high horse and MJ never did dat always gave the credit to the Lord above also I love that he always loved children he truly did which is why the devilish media try to use it against him and damage his soul and image smh MJ didn’t deserve none of the things he went through also I love MJ mentioned “Liberian Girl” that song went on his 1987 album “BAD” Long Live The King Of Music Michael Joseph Jackson Forever🙏🏽🙌🏽👑❤️✨
After watching this i think i respect him and understand him a lot more then i did before!!
Awww he had the sweetest voice and spirit, makes me want to hug him 🥰😭🥰 so gentle with his llama 🦙😊 I loved Michael ever since I was little and this makes me love him even more, what an incredible insight into his spirit and focus. No wonder he hated being interviewed later in life, having to answer so many ridiculous questions, when THIS is the kind of stuff he's interested in and inspired by, he's very ungarded and comfortable, just talking about magic, what he liked, it's a shame later on in his life they didn't care much to talk about his creative process or leave any space to invite or encourage this kind of conversation, I could watch this all day, it actually inspires me 💕✨️✨️
He is a genius. And so amazing. I will always love Michael.
This is his home in L.A., called Havenhurst with sis Latoya❤❤❤
He named his ranch neverland because it’s his place where he can return to his childhood because he never had one he also really loved Peter Pan Mickey Mouse tinker bell etc
FUN FACT ✅
This is the Jackson Family compound in Encino, Los Angeles. (before Michael had Neverland)
you can now visit the actual property every halloween during a charity event held by Michael's son Prince Jackson.
Omg how can something from 43 years ago give me so much joy every time!! He really was special and the CUTEST most adorable thing during the Off The Wall and Thriller eras!! ❤❤ this is so precious omg how I treasure this interview!! 😍 my poor baby Michael before all the bad stuff started happening in his life 😭😭🦋💗 I'm sooo happy you understand Michael after watching this interview and I think anyone who watches this and don't fall in love with Michael and doesn't see how sweet he is then something is wrong with them! I like to think this is Michael in heaven if there is heaven, singing happy surrounded by his animals and nature and magic 🥰🥰💖❤😊
I love this interview, its so spontaneous and natural and Michael was still really happy, before all those horrible things that destroyed his life😔 I would really love if his life had always been like this, I'm sure without all those allegations, Michael would still be alive (this is one of the main reasons of his death, in the last years of his life he was dead inside)😔
Anyway now I'm going to name all his siblings, you'll learn to recognize them as time goes by: Brothers (Randy, Jermaine, Marlon, Jackie, Tito, Brandon but unfortunately he died at birth), Sisters (Janet, La Toya, Joh'Vonnie and Rebbie, the eldest). That's the llama Michael brought into the studio with Freddie haha. You really deserve this money Seph, love your videos🔥
Ok first off, thank you ever so much for that Alex! It is completely unnecessary though, to be honest im more happy with the amazing help you've given me with knowing what is coming up next and your amazing comments "You really are very cool😎"
Secondly... yeah! He was hounded by the media for all the wrong reasons so very sad! Especially after watching this interview.
And thank you for the list! I know the names now i just have to try to learn what each of them look like haha
I dont think you had to mention Brandon and Joh'Vonnie lol
@@SephPlays I love giving money to the right people! I do it very, VERY rarely but you are one of those people hahah, btw one thing i didn't mention is this interview was done after Thriller, Thriller came out in 1982🔥
@@KD-cd2ck yeah haha
Such an adorable interview ❤
If you're curious about what he says when the sound cuts off at 19:14, I found another video of this interview a little bit more low quality but he says:
"I think with any type of creation, you create what's inside of you, subcounsciously, what influences you. I'm a fantasy fanatic, anything that take you off into another world, escapism, that's what I like. I'm not so crazy about the reality of everything, I like a lot of fantasy and that's why I try to create, to get away, to become moved."
His personality fascinates me 🥰 everytime I watch I wish I could protect him from all the evil people who tried to hurt and take advantage of him later on 😢
Omg he's such a sweetheart, pure soul, when he sings the Peter Pan song ❤😊 "I'm just living day to day, dreaming and wishing upon stars and all that magic stuff" 15:57 aww so precious I want to hug him I wish he was always this happy 😭🥰 and how are you as adorable as Michael 😭😭 you are so likeable 💕
Ohhhhhhhh!!! Thats what he was singing here!?? 😮😮😮😮
@@SephPlays yess 💕 if you go back he sings "watch me now, watch me fly, I'm Peter Pan, I soar so high, I am forever.." 😍🥰 how adorable 😭
23:51 to answer your question the Thriller album came out in late 1982, this interview was 1983, he had already done Motown 25 although I'm not sure if it had aired yet but if I had to guess I'd say it probably would have, and Thrilker became the highest selling album of all time in early (I think early) 1984
Thriller***
Brilliant! This is exactly what I needed to know 😍 thank you!
My pleasure
so much joy here💜I call this the ‘magic interview’💜he’s on cloud nine from the success of ‘thriller’. his dreams have come true, and he’s more optimistic than ever before 💜he’s unguarded in the natural environment that he created. I used to have this on vhs 📼 I would begin my day with it, and feel inspired. this is how I choose to remember him💜 ‘another banger’ as you would say😊 that’s the Jacksons home hayvenhurst.
15:37 Buffalo Bull was a song that eventually became "Al Capone" which became "Smooth Criminal". Unfortunately, while those other two songs have been released, Buffalo Bill has yet to see the light of day.
MJ had an INCREDIBLE pitch accuracy with his voice, that's just a fact. The channel "Wings of Pegasus" has some really fascination videos going over examples of his singing in unprocessed form; before any mixing or the like. And any footage of his singing A Capella, even small little things like here, are also able to showcase this skill well. :D
Also, thank you for taking us along on your journey of discovery of this mans legacy. I hadn't actually ever seen this interview before now, so that was something really special to enjoy alongside your insight!
Seph! I am screaming with excitement haha. I LOVE this interview and I believe at some point I suggested it in comments for you. I am SOOO happy you reacted to this! A few thoughts:
1) Michael's love of animals is one of the purest and most beautiful things in the world. People found it weird, I think, to see a man so gentle, kind, and sensitive. But this is one of his most attractive qualities as a human being, IMO. Also, I very much see his view of children the same as his view of animals. It's just an appreciation for innocence. This is a man who grow up in an entirely adult world. He saw the dirty behind-the-scenes nature of the music industry. He grew up performing in strip clubs (literally) when he was 5 years old. He toured with adults around the world. He NEVER got to appreciate just being a child. So when you say toward the end that it is a choice for him to be this way, I think that is true. He chose to maintain a childlike sense of wonder, joy, and awe. He chose to not be cynical and to lean into the beauty of the world, instead of the darkness. But he was NOT naive and he was not some man-child. He understood a lot more about the seedy aspects of life than I think most people realized. He just didn't emulate them himself.
2) Aside from some of those childlike qualities he had, he was also very much a businessman, very savvy, very bold. He was in total control of his own performances and recordings, especially after Thriller. He was very much a normal "man" in certain ways, but he was also very unique. I think his masculinity as a performer really explodes in the Bad era, but it's never performative IMO. It's very genuine and raw. That's why I think Michael confuses people so much. He is man with childlike wonder and enthusiasm for life, while also being a beast as an artist. He was an exceptionally private person, in spite of appearing so open, so I think people have misconceptions, trying to fill in the dots. Also, I think part of what we see in interviews like this, some of the uniqueness of his personality is the result of him being a literal *genius.*
3) His random singing is insane, isn't it??? His voice is just staggering. I love the effect it had on you! :) He has the voice of an angel and it is so effortless.
4) There is so much more I can say, but I'll wrap up here. I just LOVE seeing the affection you have for Michael. It is so wonderful. I remember your very first reaction to him and you were quite blown away by him, but you were questioning some stuff you didn't know about (understandably). But then every reaction since, it's like you're learning another layer about him as an artist and person. I'm telling you, I think it's impossible to learn about him and not fall in love with him as a person, as well as an artist. Other people have charisma, but Michael has something that goes far beyond that to me. He talks about magic so much, but he is the literal embodiment of magic. I find many artists charming and charismatic, but no one stops me in my tracks like Michael. Anyway, I'm just so glad you're on this journey. And seeing you react so purely and genuinely to him makes me really happy, so thank you 😊
Also, I'm sorry for the long comment! I got a little carried away lol.
So sad he was bullied by the media later on😢 and called freak, wacko and wierd 😭.. so sad what greed and jealousy does when all MJ was doing was trying to bring people together
@@SarahAli-oc8hy I totally agree. It's horrible. One of the MANY reasons no modern artists should be compared to him. MJ had massive appeal and success in spite of an ongoing, relentless media campaign to destroy his career starting as early as the mid-80s. He succeeded against all odds and broke records until the day he passed. He was/is legendary. But he didn't deserve a shred of the unkindness he received.
@thewild5719 the media really did go out of their way to belittle him. It's absolutely disgusting and nobody should have to go through that
"He chose to not be cynical and to lean into the beauty of the world, instead of the darkness".
THANK YOU!!! THIS WAS A PROFOUND OBSERVATION ON YOUR PART. YOU GET MICHAEL. YOU REALLY REALLY GET HIM! I LOVE YOU 😂
And what you said about him being almost like a child is so true, many people who knew him said the same, you should listen to his song "With A Child's Heart", it's from his 1st or 2nd solo album and he was like 13 when it was released but I swear that song is all about him and it's so beautiful, Michael's voice sounds really angelic, I guess he really took this song to his heart and lived by it ❤
I like that you are going chronically through Micheal’s career. Can’t wait for you to get to the Bad album
Because of copyright problems, the bad album is coming muchhhhhh sooner then i anticipated 😅
Can I just recommend for future album reactions that when you listen to a song for the first time that you listen to the audio first and then do the short film/ music video in a separate video may be. Because in my opinion when you reacted to Billie Jean which I think was your first time hearing it (somehow lol) that you focused on the video and trying to make sense of it instead of listening to the song and the lyrics and story and stuff a bit too much
If that makes sense
I have to admit i do get easily distracted haha
Just a heads up I guess
Omgg you reacted to this interview! This is the most adorable precious interview ever!! 😍😭❤
He was adorable 🥰❤
Very much so!
Wow you reacted to this!! This is one of my favorite interviews!! Would you say he was 25 here?? He was certainly different from any 25 year old I know; just so cute 🥰 he said adults have let him down, judged him, children never did, people just couldn't understand that...
People twisted his words and took everything he done out of context
@@SephPlays exactly Seph!! It's sad 😢
Michael loved animals!
Yeah Michael had A LOT of pets, like giraffes, chimps, tigers, etc living at his home with him! He loved animals
He really was a kind hearted soul!
4641 Hayvenhurst Ave Encino CA...used to live near his home
I love Michael, he’s so funny, I laugh at him when he’s being funny 😂
"I'm just living day to day, dreaming, wishing upon the stars and all that magic stuff" how can anyone not love him 😭❤
He was so happy here. His genuine self. Nice interview.
That's early 1984 in Hayvenhurst, the family house in Encino, California
This was at their family house havenhurst this was before he bought neverland havenhurst was bought after the Jackson 5 became really big
I was just at that house last October for the Halloween party! I sat in that very spot at the fountain and it was wonderful!
Liberian girl actually ended on Michael’s Bad album! That’s interesting he said that in this interview
Omg you react to Michael too ❤ he's so sweet I love how he appreciates all the simple litlle things, I think it's a very special quality and something we forget to do! Ok wait a minute the owner of this channel is just as adorable as Michael! 😂😂❤ I had to subscribe!
Awwwww thank you Katherine ❤️❤️❤️❤️ biggest compliment right there!!!!
I don't know if anyone answered your question about where this is filmed, but this is the Jackson family's Encino home. He bought it from his parents a some point and remodeled an continued to live there with him family untill shortly before the Bad album when he bought Neverland. The Jackson Family still owns it, and I was the main family hub untill a few years after he passed. Katherine and Michaels kids moved out to Calabasas. They still own the Encino house but I can't remember which Jackson's are living there now.
Thank u seph for this beautiful reaction and the nice things that u mentioned about Michael at the end which actually made me respect u more than i do my friend❤❤.
Alot of people misunderstood Michael and misquoted him also but this because their minds are not pure and innocent, Michael said once " never judge a person until u talk to him one on one i don't care what the conversation is " and if those people think of that for a second they will find that no one does something wrong and talks about it in every interview that's ridiculous. He was so pure and loving so he didn't think that much to tell the things that he like out of innocence.
And yeah he called the ranch Neverland because he loves Peter Pan alot and he inspired him but this interview was in parents home .
By the way , u are right it was his choice to be like that and to sound like that also as Michael's voice deeper than that u can tell from his vocal range (and his vocal coach said that he has deep voice but he always preferred that soft voice and that actually helped him alot as it is like doing exercise all the time so your voice never gets old) but he was sooo knowledgeable as well . he was obsessed with reading his library contains 10000 books and he read them all. and i don't think u know but he was a great painter, his portraits was insane. No one mentally ill or childish do that ... Sorry for being so long but i have to say that because it's not just thinking or being a fan that makes me believe in his innocence i searched and listened to the 2 sides and find true proofs so it's not fair
Thanks again friend unfortunately there are no facts today 😂😂
Great reaction god bless u ❤
I have to admit this was very interesting! The guy was freakin chased by the media for the most stupid of things ya know!?
He was obviously super intelligent as you can read that in his lyrics and some of the things he says are quotable!!
He certainly wasn't mentally ill or childish, This interview proves that! Childlike is a more apt description in my opinion.
@@SephPlaysAnother thing ✨
I just want to tell u that i almost comment on every mj reaction of yours sice the very first day you started to react to him and to be honest it's not my cup of tea, i don't feel comfortable when i share information with people in general but u are so friendly seph so if u have this attitude for your channel then thank u for making us the viewers comfortable 🌹and if it is in your soul then keep yourself like that as it's a rare quality nowadays 🤍🤍
Chatting to you is a pleasure my friend! 😀
LOL lovely Louie the llama! You can tell Louie feels Mike's positive energy. Many of Michael's animals were rescued from circuses and other performances.
Hello friend I'm new here, what a lovely fun reaction video! He really had the heart of a child, if only people tried to understand the psychology behind why Michael was the way that he was. He became famous when he was only 8 years old, being the lead singer and star of the Jackson 5. Singing and performing way before that, since 5. Imagine the impact at that age. Could not make a single wrong move or sing a wrong note or his father would beat him brutally. He HAD to be perfect. That is a huge amount of pressure for a child. He grew up with no toys, no permissions to have friends or play in parks. He celebrated no birthdays and no holidays. He didnt even celebrate Christmas until his early 30s. He got psychologically, physically and emotionally @bused and tormented by his father more than any of his siblings, no love or affection ever shown or felt from him, with a mother who, despite being affectionate, only stopped the beatings when it "got too bad". It was impossible for him to be what we consider to be "normal". I have a degree in psychology and in my opinion, I believe Michael suffered from a form of age regression from extreme childhood trauma. The trauma was so deep that it affected him for the rest of his life, you can even see it in some of his interviews, where a 21 year Michael talks about his father, terrified to even say he was "too strict" in fear that his father was "going to kill him". At 21. Laughing to hide the pain. Unsurprisingly, Michael grew up very socially awkward and isolated himself during his teenage years, very insecure about his appearance due to puberty and the bullying from his father, never quite knowing how to deal with the outside world and being off the stage. Not being able to relate to people his age cause they had completely different interests.
I agree with almost all you said however the real reason he never celebrated Christmas is totally due to his mother being Jehovah Witness as well as her involving Michael in the religion too. It's not fair to put 100% fault for Michael's missing out on certain things all on his dad.
Oh! Seph I love and adore this interview, I'm so glad you react to it, I remember very well the first time I watched it. For me was like very random in the beginning, because is not like any typical interview of him and then more I listen to MJ more I started to love him like 1000%. I never going to believe that this man did something wrong to any children. Oh! I'm so happy I found your chanel, because I can not really share this kind of moment with anyone in my real life, I try it but is like they don’t get that excitement....I really love how you got to understand the man behind the magic
This is the interview that changed my mind on Michael. I went from a MJ hater to a lover after watching this.
Stunning footage!
I honestly feel it’s not wrong to say you want to spend time with children nowadays it’s folks out there with the nasty minds that think negatively about pure natural loving things like that MJ was a victim of this evil world we live in turning the one thing he loved the most against him which is children and he wasn’t childish he was childlike✍🏽👑💯[Please React to Michael Jackson “Disneyland 25th Anniversary (1980)”]
This is it! Nice sum up!
@@SephPlaysThank you.
I love his voice it's so pleasing to listen to ❤ both while talking and singing 😊 7:31 so soft and sweet 😭😍 and he seems so at peace here and looks soo happy it makes me smile 💗 this video brings me such comforting peaceful vibes I can't even express how much I love it 😭💖 nice seeing La Toya!

When he was really little, his mother said, he was dancing to the rhythm of the washing machine. They had an old machine which made a special noise, and he was dancing to it😊.
Mike just chillin with his llama Louie 😂😂😂🦙🦙 I never thought I would see this
This interview warms my heart 💖😭 he was adorable and especially in the Off The Wall/Thriller eras 💞
I love his interviews. He so cute 🥰
Loving your Neverland pictures behind you, inside and out! ..just lovely!
People say MJ was weird but all of us are different, I think he was definitely unique which is not necessarily a bad thing, he was just special, watching this he seemed like a very genuine, real, fun guy to me
Damn James! I loved your comments :D
Couldnt agree more!
@@SephPlays happy to know that, you're very funny!
It's said Michael liked to read a lot of books of various things and you can tell he's very inteligent when he talks about his llama, that they're from the same family as the camel and alpacas and that they're from South America, I definitely didn't know that 😂
Ya the guy was very intelligent! Another reason why i enjoyed this reaction as much as i did :D
These videos your being given recommendations to do is amazing!! Great video
the Queen left the studio he came in to record with michael just because he went there with his llama lmao
What a sweet soul! Everything was magic to him! He seemed so genuine and so fun to be around! I wish I had a friend like Michael
Well said Danielle ❤️
You can see he's 12 years old.
I still think its a choice though!
He’s childlike not childish tho MJ didn’t choose or pretend to be this way he never had a childhood at all! It was always something to do cause he was a child prodigy being in the music industry since 11 years old and doing music since 7
i can agree he is definitely not childish!
@@SephPlaysyou need to react to all the Jackson 5 Videos where Michael was 10 Years old. Songs like Who‘s Loving You :)
@@SephPlays Not a choice. It's neurological. I often meet people like him. They are alone and only get along with children. Like MJ on tour or at his home.
I swear this has got to be the most adorable interview I have ever seen omgg 😭 and the most adorable reaction! 🥰
You know, I think it's really beautiful that he tried to keep his inner child alive, he seemed generally happy during this time, it's so sad because you can see how he changed over the years, in the sense that he became sadder and much more reserved I would say, he couldn't go out and everything he did people judged and he couldn't feel free to enjoy what he enjoyed anymore, so he built Neverland, the place of his dreams, and still, people wanted to destroy it and sadly, it worked, his sanctuary got destroyed by greedy people because of these ridiculous allegations and multiples raids and he said it wasn't his home anymore, just a house, he never went back there again after the 2005 trial. He looked so tired in the 2000s. It seems like people can't stand to see someone successful and happy, you can't be positive and kind, they will become jealous and do everything to bring you down.
I was going to request this interview haha 😂 you're right, it's not a mental disorder or anything like that at all cause yes he was very childlike but he was also very inteligent and smart especially when it came to his creative process, he was like a genius lol, he was just a very sensitive soul who loved animals and children and liked to have fun and play, the fact is that Michael never hid this side of him and what he liked, he lost his childhood so he just wanted to experience what he never could as a child as an adult, that's why he had an amasument park and a zoo and a movie theater in his home but instead of enjoying it all by himself he decided to share it with other less fortunate kids so that they could also have a childhood and he invited many families as well, like how sweet is that, unfortunately society couldn't understand that so they called him weird, a freak, "wacko jacko"... they were very cruel to him, it wasn't malicious he just couldn't understand what he had done wrong 💔😢😢 anyway sorry I really enjoyed your reaction ❤❤ so nice that you understand him
This the most adorable interview I have ever watched ❤ always come back to it and it never fails to cheer me up, it's amazing that this interview is like 40 years old but I feel so much joy and positivity through this video, his aura is just so beautiful, love his positivity and his passion talking about magic and everything that inspires him and how he's so connected to nature 💕💕 there's not many people in the world like him, he just seems soo sweet and happy especially during the Trhiller and OTW days!! Well, happier than he ever was after this, It's a shame the way people treated this kind sweet soul as the years went by 😢😢 I sense no evil or darkness in him, he seems full of love, look how gently he treated his llama and sang so softly and beautifully 😭 I think his light was so bright that people couldn't understand it or accept it so they tried everything to bring him down so they would feel better and you are totally right, I feel like he loved children because they are innocent and saw HIM, Michael the person, not what he had, what he looked like or any of this superficial stuff, if there is heaven, I truly hope he is up there right now, singing happily with his animals and like he said surrounded by magic just like in this interview, cause this world did not deserve him.
That’s truly beautiful. Well said.
@@glamourisbest thank you ❤️
Its in Hayvenhurst! The home he grew up in!
Liberian Girl from the bad album that he spoke about is such a beautiful song to this day after 17 years its one of my favorites
Damn seeing Michael so happy here and knowing what would happen just a few years after this is actually sad, Michael was never that free and comfortable while doing an interview ever again
This has got to be one of the most amazing interviews i have ever watched. It's a side of michael i bet a lot of people have never seen before
Ok Seph I have to say, when I first watched this I fell in love with Michael immediately!! Lol, he is so fascinating! I guess that's also what happened to you?? I mean I didn't have any opinion about him to "change my mind", I knew a few of his songs and watched a few of his performances and thought he was very talented but other than that I didn't know anything about his life or what he was like, and there is something about him that's very captivating and just makes me want to hug him haha I don't know, so cute! ❤🥰 I think what got me was the fact that he was 24 in this and still had such an innocence and fun and joyful aspect about him that he appreciated and loved all the simple little things about life that we normally don't really stop to appreciate, like a flower, sunset, dawn, butterflies, all the animals, children, nature, people, I don't know I mean he just seems so genuine, it's just so rare and special, that really sparked my interest to know more about him, and what really breaks my heart is that bad greedy people really wanted to take that away from him in the most cruel way, he suffered so much all of his life, and still all he wanted to do was to heal the world and make people happy, I watched an amazing documentary about all his humanitarian efforts (which I really hope you react to), he went to a hospital and did not stop until he found a liver for a little boy who was dying, he saved him! One of many, no one talks about that, he's such a lovely soul! After watching more documentaries and his interviews, I gained such an appreciation and love for him, as a person more than anything, he really was magic ♥️😢 this interview has now a special place in my heart ❤
Escapism!.... that's what Michael was always trying to achieve for himself and especially for his fans!
Yay!!! I'm glad you enjoyed this interview 😊
This is latoya
Yeah! I found out by the end haha
Louie is so cute 😍
It is the llama I told you about earlier! 😂
Ohh its the same freakin Lama he took with him to record with Freddie!!!??? hahahahaha
😂😂😂😂 where the hell is muscles ? 😭
@@NaturallyTekHe was there in the recording studio while MJ did Billie Jean no?
@@NaturallyTek There's an interview he does with Quincy Jones where they are both holding Muscles lol. Seph should react to that! haha
Oh hell nooooo 😂😭😭😭.
Cute story, Michael was having dinner with friends or whoever, and just general dinner conversation but as quiet and shy as Michael is, Michael then announced in his quiet voice, "I have a llama" LOL
28:12 "your voice is very irritating" damn poor La Toya 😂😂😂
That is LaToya.
Yes and I didn’t know that
This was filmed at the Jackson’s Hayvenhurst home in Encino, CA.
Yes
Yesssss! 😍
Thanks
Awwwww thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
And I must say you're so cute and there is something about you that is so welcoming! You're so fun 😁 I just noticed that you have a whole Michael playlist I think I'm gonna have to subscribe and watch it all hahah 🥰
Welcome to the channel haha
I've been making my way through all his albums and life story and concerts. It's been quite a journey 😍
@@SephPlays that's so nice! I hope you're enjoying it 😊
The interview took place at the Jackson family home Hayvenhurst.
This is a beautiful interview, it's like a reminder, I think we all should be a little more like Michael and appreciate and see the beauty in nature and animals and all the simple things ❤ I feel like we don't really stop to appreciate the little things enough and actially naturally we tend to lose that magic as we age but he never did! Very inspirational 😊 oh and I just remembered some theories and studies say that people actually kinda stop growing from the moment they become famous like their minds, they get stuck there, obviously I don't think there's confirmation to this but it's certainly interesting, if there's any truth to this imagine Michael, that became famous when he was only 8 years old!! 😮😮 and he never had a childhood, It can kinda explain why Michael acted so childlike, what do you think Seph?? 🤔🤔
Could be! Very interesting theory!
Speaking of the moon...... there is a song called "Scared of the Moon" I can't remember which album I think it's Blood on the Dance Floor which you'll be doing next, but it is a lovely, lovely song, a must hear
If you have time can you react to these videos:
“Michael Jackson’s Private home movies” (it was a tv special)
“Michael Jackson Prime Time interview 1995” (this was an interview with his wife at the time Lisa Marie Presley)
“Michael Jackson Oprah interview”
That video was not filmed in Neverland. It was at his old home before Neverland. This was filmed 5 years before he moved into his Neverland Ranch home.
Hello first time on your channel you're very funny!! Michael is soo cute really like a child, he says the reason why he Neverland is because he related to Peter Pan and the youth and that he was a child at heart! 🥰 the world was so cruel to him 😭😭 you should react to his Oprah interview if you want to know more about what he thinks :)
Its definitely on my list 📃😉
He was a genius! Of course, a genius sees things and acts differently from ordinary people but it doesn’t mean genius is abnormal. It’s just people don’t understand Genius and may be jealous of him. It’s not a crime to be different, right?!
Michael was sitting at his family home in Encino California. I've been there too LOL) fountain really drowns out his voice. Michael was still living at home with his parents at this point
First comment hehe ❤❤ Great video 😊😊
"Buffalo Bill" was never released. "Liberian Girl" is a great song from the Bad album. I don't recommend the video, but the acoustic version. The video detracts too much from this wonderful song.
I agree! The video was a baller move and really showed his power in the industry. But it totally detracts (and distracts!) from the beauty of the song itself. I think it's worth watching the video, but not for a first time reaction to the song itself.
Michael didn't even want to be in that's why he's only in at the end for a couple of seconds
you notice, you both did the same movements at the same time 6:52 till 7:02
That is very funny!! I was trying to hear the woman and so was Michael at the same time haha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This was at his and his brothers and sisters and his parents Hayvenhurst home. They moved to that home in 1971. Michael moved out in 1988 when he bought the Neverland Ranch. So he moved to Neverland after his skin color changed.
Didn't he buy Neverland in 1988?
@@JamesPerry-wt7no I just edited the comment. Sorry.
That llama is actually the reason mj and Freddie mercury didn’t do a collab😂
Yeah that story makes me laugh haha
Not actully funny Becuase Freddy hated Louie the lambs for no reason at all
It’s filmed at Hayvenhurst, Encino.. where he lived with his parents
I believe it was right after this when Michael got commissioned to do the movie "The Wiz" with Diana Ross
Wrong . This movie got out in 1978.
Ok one last comment lol sorry, this is a beautiiful rare interview not many people have reacted to it and your reaction is the best that I've seen! The title said this is the interview that changed your mind, I'm new so I'm curious what do you mean by that? Did you not like Michael before? 💕
Up until watching this interview I disliked Michael Jackson as a person and believed in the false accusations. Growing up i purposefully avoided him and his songs. Only song i knew going into this was Thriller, i didn't even know what he looked like 😅
If it wasn't for this interview I probably would have given up on MJ and would have carried on believing the ridiculous accusations 😭
I some times look back and feel ashamed about the things I said about him. But I can't change the past, but i can certainly learn from it
@@SephPlays ohhh now I understand thank you! I haven't watched all the videos yet but I take it that you have now learned he facts of the cases and what the motivation was. Don't feel ashamed, you're right, what's important is that you now know the truth, actually it shows maturity and humility being willing to have a different perspective and open to the idea that you may have been wrong in what you thought, and also being willing to go out of your way to look for the facts and decide for yourself and not just accept what they want you to believe, from the first videos I watched I can tell you are a beautiful person ❤
@@TheresaWarnner-1 Its the reason i started to go through all his albums and life story in chronological order. I'm up to the HIStory album now.
I can't post reactions to Jackson 5/the jacksons because of copyright issues, but anything that's just MJ seems to be ok.
Ive learned a lot 😊
Seph I found this rare home video of him and his brothers and family members when Michael was still a teenager and look how adorable and attentive he is with the little kid ❤ while everyone is joking and talking loudly Michael is just shy in the background making sure the baby is okay and gets attention, it just shows he always had a loving connection to kids 😊 I don't see how anyone can see anything wrong here, here is the video:
th-cam.com/video/wYjluCxGeHY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Ra7hMdoUefx6avAK
I'll add it to my list 😉📃
@@SephPlays really you want to react to it? ❤ thank you! I sent it for you to watch it on your own but your reaction would be even better 🥰
