One of his most underrated songs EVER
True, and "Who is it" either
There is soooo many underrated MJ's song
Facts
He has endless underrated songs. This comment is on most of his videos on here.
Absolutely. This, leave me alone and liberian girl are my favorite of his.
He was in Moscow, Russia at a hotel when he written the song in 93’ After facing them allegations. He was feeling lonely and stuff. Sad, but an uplifting song but beautiful and beautifully written.
Maybe he shouldn't have written the beggar boy lyric then lol
@@aaronbarlow4376 the beggar boy was true a boy really did call his name so stfu
not the full story. Dallas Austin said in an interview with VladTV that the russian government HID MJ during that time. Nobody in the world knew where MJ was ... think about how POWERFUL MJ was when Russia was helping him ...
I've been to Moscow. Strangely, of the 36 countries visited whilst working it was the place I felt most alone. Unfortunately theres something about Moscow that makes it this way, I hope it has changed....
You can really hear his sadness. I was just revisting the whole History album. I can't believe the media did that to him. The pain you hear in his voice man...so sad
This song is about feeling lonely and being lonely and feeling like there’s no escape because Micheal went thru so much that nobody understand it’s basically about not being understood
But it’s so much deeper then that also
*michael stupid auto correct
@@JackReacts904 Great reaction Jack. It's his comments on how he felt during the allegations in 93, abandoned in his fame, swift and sudden fall from grace, Armageddon of the brain. It's such an underrated song. Now you're into Michael Jackson, you'll totally see why people are so loyal to him and why he is called the king of Pop.
Jack Reacts can you react to Michael jackson earth song I think you will love this song because there’s such a great message to this song
@@bevsworldseats Exactly
I love how your mood switched into another gear when MJ started singing 😄. It's so refreshing to see the next generation appreciating the genius of MJ.👏🏾
He was a genius! Never on earth you ll see another performer like him in this lifetime! One in. A million. God sent us the best! Long live the King!
Yes.. Michael was unique ... one of a kind... this is happens just once in a lifetime !!!!!
RIP beautiful angel!!!! ❤️ “We love you more”❤️
Such a genious he was!!! His music, his voice lifts you to heaven 💖💖💖 thank you God thank you Michael for all the magic and the love you've given us 👏👏👏 RIP KING 💖
one in a billion
One in a billion*
"Here abandoned in my fame, Armageddon of the brain."
Brilliant writing ❤
Correct, MJ don’t get enough credit for his vocals! Thanks for saying so!

@@Penczerzinski what the fuck are you talking about
That is Michael's beatbox that's how he wrote songs then he built around it. Along with the piano harmonies and melodies
no this is a drum computer with Michael Jackson's beatboxing elements that he beatboxing in a microphone
@@romanodanjetto9117 I don't think so. He always said it was important for him to be innovative with all the sounds and that they made them all themselves.
The meaning of this song is based on his own experiences during the '93 allegations & was written in a hotel in Moscow. His HIStory album is autobiographical and worth the listen. I appreciate your interpretation very much. If I didn't know the story behind the song, I'd state the same.
It's a beautiful song. My absolute favorite. He was heartbroken at the time. He thought his fans had left him due to the ridiculous accusations against him. How wrong he was. We will always love him.
Whoever says this man is not a true artist is an idiot! He absolutely had a God given gift!!! His vocals are truly amazing!!
I love this song, but it brakes my heart that he wrote this when he was at Moscow with the Dangerous tour, alone in his room and sitting in the closet feeling so alone and so sad…
Ladys and Gentleman.. thats THE King of Pop !!
The little snap after he sings the stranger in Moscow bit 😍😍 love his passion no one will ever match the King of Pop
Earth Song Video will Blow Your Mind!!!
This song is a MASTERPIECE
Of the fucking highest order.
"Michael transcends music" - nailed it
MJ was going through a lot during that time period this video was shot, with the child molestation allegations thrown at him. His voice, his emotions and demeanor demonstrated that he felt lonely in general, the media wouldn't stop bashing and criticizing this man. He was the most misunderstood, sensitive and generous musical artist I have ever came across (RIP 👑). This song is one of my favs and your reaction to this, gained my full blown attention. Thank you Jack! 😘❤
Sophia😚😗😘😙💏💑❤💙
Stranger in Moscow is the pinnacle of his artistry. This is a timeless track with so much meaning, it should be depressing song but it’s soothing instead.
The stank face was heavy with this one 😂😂 same tho I love this song
MJ the greatest entertainer that ever lived
Michael Jackson was definitely sending a message in the song. If you don’t feel something listening to this song then somethings wrong with you. This song was so underrated 🔥🔥
4:41
the people with umbrella ignoring the beggar.
the people with safety and stability trying to hide eyes from MJ and the support he needs.
That ladies and gentleman is the king of pop the man was utter perfection
Jack why were there no reviewers like you back in 1995?! To their eternal shame, they were more interested in his nose, what he was wearing, or ‘Wacko Jacko’ distraction stories... they simply didn’t want to give him any credit. You’re right, this song is a haunting masterpiece. It follows Scream & They Don’t Care About Us on the HIStory album, and before it starts you can hear cleansing rain, washing away all the anger and bile of the opening tracks. The man was a genius. Thank you so much for this Jack, genuinely. #AmplifyMJ ❤️
I agree with you so much and appreciate your comment. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💙💙💙
I just want you to know the joy it's brought me during this quarantine season to see you, as a teenager react to the music of my childhood with such intuitiveness!! Like you really dig down deep on so much of the music that shaped me!!!
I thought exactly the same 😭
I think the same thing
It's a great analysis because really he has so emotion about he's listening
Same 💫
“I was wandering in the rain / Mask of life / Feeling insane... / Here abandoned in my fame / Armageddon of the brain” Not only an incredible vocalist, and incredible dancer, and incredible performer, but also an incredible songwriter and producer.
Aw.. I just wanted to stand beside Michael throughout the entire video 🥺 He seemed so sad.. People really put alot of pressure and stress on him.. he didn't deserve all the hate.. we didn't deserve him..❤ he's so amazing.. I love him so much..✌😭❤
Isolation. He was very upset during this period. A response to what he was dealing with at the time.
Stranger in Moscow hidden symbols:
Mj was literally hiding in Moscow during 1993 during the sexual abuse allegations.
Jordan Chandler, the child who accused him was of Russian/Chinese/Caribbean descent.
In the line “here abandoned in my fame, Armageddon of the brain”... that line made reference to mj’s growing depression and addiction to pain killers. No amount of celebrity could save him from that.
The HIStory album is Michael’s most personal and raw album.
OMG 🙈 thx for sharing...
Why? Why Michael? 🙈🙈🙈
@@ProofCare he was hiding. Dallas Austin said the russian government hid him ... your statement doesnt make sense because the allegations began 24th of august 1993
@@xabun do you realize how long it takes to write and produce music specially in the 1990s. Re-read my statement and process it deeper
@@biracialangel8040 whole thriller album was done in 4 month whatya talkin about
@@xabun and dangerous took 5 years
MJ is a legend. They do not make music like this anymore and never will
Long live the king of pop Michael Jackson amen
Both the song "Stranger in Moscow" and it's music video are works of pure genius. Love the way Michael Jackson uses the city of Moscow as a metaphor to express the cold loneliness and isolation that he felt inside especially in the wake of the allegations that were levelled against him.
Easily one of the most underrated MJ tracks. So, so special. The beatbox is so simple and so addictive, and the harmonies and whistle are so distinctive. Incredible. Even the video is unlike any other MJ productions.
The message I get from this song and video is “if you feel lonely, don’t be. Look around, be in the moment and feel the beauty all around you. You are part of this beauty. Everything is part of your beauty. Be aware of it, enjoy it and express it. That’s where loneliness ends and life begins.”
MJ will always have a special place in my heart musically! I may be a fan of other artists and different genres of music but he's the only artist that really hits my soul
Stranger in Moscow is one of Michael's most beautifully composed pieces of music, the way the sounds, harmonies, beats and his voice are layered and put together is artistry in its highest form.
I always felt like this video depicted his true spirit during those dark times. For someone who is so high spirited, high energy, a vibrant view on life full of color and wonderment. For him to create a very slow moving dark, cold, raining ethereal world. Just captures where his soul was. It breaks my heart man 😢 it really does. He deserved all the joys god wanted him to have on this earth. We treat our angels with such evil. I’m not surprised many of them are gone now and the world suffers in ruin without them 😢. It’s as if we brought it onto ourselves.
I don’t know how old you are but your musical taste is on point. And the fact that you love this song which for me is one of Michael’s most underrated speaks volumes to me. Stranger in Moscow is a masterpiece.
I am listening to this for the first time....I can't even explain how I am feeling right now, I just know it is something I haven't felt in a long time
My favorite song not just of MJ but of everything. Period.
This one right here… MJ always reached deep within 👑
The king of pop Michael Jackson wrote the words in Moscow for history album.and it is true Michael Jackson did beatbox the sound of the video god bless may Michael Jackson rest in peace
This is a great song, has to be a favourite.
I thought the exact same thing the first time I heard it - this is my new favorite song by him! So beautiful & detailed, is right!:)
The lyrics of this song are also incredible too, like the part where he says "here abandoned in my fame" it creates a beautiful conflict because you'd think you can't possibly be abandoned when you're famous cause you're the center of attention but michael was famous to the point that all everyone even people close to him cared about was "michael jackson" the brand while the real human michael jackson was not cared about at all and was sort of abandoned also there's another interesting part where he says "take my name and just let me be" again pointing that(even to this day)he's seen as a brand(name) not a human being.also the whisper in the end is a man speaking in russian,the translation is
"Why have you come, the enemy, from the West? Confess!
To steal the great achievements of the people?
The great accomplishments of the workers?
Confess. Have you tried hard to bribe the people with the riches of the West?"]
The end with the Russian interpretation I think is far deeper than we realize. The Russians hated Mike in the 80s. They saw him as a shiny gimmicky puppet for the Americans to consume while our Government were doing atrocities across the globe. So to hear this, it’s as if he’s trying to say, “I am abandoned, spare me, I have no one else to turn too. I need your security.” Or even, just referencing how America has tarnished his name. That ending can have sooo many symbolisms. He found refuge in the arms of America’s enemies. It doesn’t get any more serious than that.
@@Phillyhippie215 interesting interpretation.
@@Phillyhippie215 that’s a fascinating interpretation and makes a lot of sense. Thank you for this comment. 🙏🏼💙
Beautifully written and I agree with you. I think this is his best written song. This and is it scary
This has been one of my favorite MJ songs ever since it came out in the 90s. So beautiful and haunting. This and The Earth Song are my two favorite
This is one of my favorites of all times....unbelievable vocals
Your interpretation is spot on. Wrote this masterpiece around 1993 Moscow when the the ridiculous allegations first hit. He felt betrayed and so alone.
The beginning of the song, that beat was a pre recording of Michael Jackson boom boxing with his hands over his mouth. Classic!!
Lowkey his best song
Michael actually stayed in Russia, that’s how large he was, they shut down an Airport when he first arrived! He was going through turmoil and accusations so much that he was a formal guest of the Kremlin! Great Reaction, if you enjoy MJ, you HAVE to get into his first adult solo album, my favorite, Off The Wall! It’s a Masterpiece!!!!
True, the CIA also opened a case file because of this. Both FBI and CIA investigated him. An innocent, tortured soul.
The mindblowing part is that he walks on a treadmill the whole time.
Luv this song! Michael never disappoints. He really was the star among the superstars!
It’s sad because you can hear the sadness and desperation in his voice. Michael was crying out for help.. don’t want to go too deep but he was a prisoner in his own home towards the end of his life.
I must sadly say that used to skip this song when it came out. I thought it was just boring. To my excuse I was a teenager who didn't understand the lyrics. Now I am able to understand and this song hit really hard. It is clearly one of his best. According to some music writers even his best song.
Michael Jackson used his own heartbeat as a sample to create the beat for this song
It wasnt for this song bro. It was for smooth criminal
Stranger in Moscow beat is Michael beatboxing, Smooth Criminal has his heartbeat
@@aaronbautista3632 he recorded his heart beat more than one song bro. He's right
From that part 5:20min. It drops song to another level. I think we all feel that. The legend
this is one of my favorite MJ songs, I still miss him and his mega talent. he will forever be my all-time favorite. I appreciate your reaction same way I felt many many years ago when I first heard this.
That's exactly what I feel. You really miss your talent. He will live on in my heart forever. At least I was allowed to see him live once
At the beginning it's not just drums, it's the beat of his heart actually recorded and placed as part of the music
Michael transcends music, you nailed it, he really did, that's what made him such a huge Superstar, who he was not only as an artist, but as a person, a personality, and he definitely was an amazing vocalist. You should react to his Jackson 5 era when he was a kid, it will blow you away :)
Huge Facts
Stranger in Moscow is about Michael's experience of feeling so lonely there was no escape. The song was in fact called its title due to him writing the song while he was in Moscow, Russia 🇷🇺 while on tour. The line "KGB was stalking me" was a true story
If ya listen closely you can here it's MJ beat boxing, he loved doing that in a few songs.
a musical and visual masterpiece, from the one and only, true king, MJ
Stunning totally and utterly heartbreaKINGing. End Blown Away.
One of the coldest beats ever tbh
Thanks bro. The idea of the video is amazing, walking around the city and people around him so sad and slow. You can’t tell this was 1995 so different and new and you can tell this song will never die. I can’t stop listening to it for almost 38 years now Literally! A lot of people remember MJ with Beat it and Thriller and Off the wall but MJ has a lot of amazing and incredible songs.
Jack Reacts glad you found it . Bless you
Michael was writing about the isolation, fear, paranoia and loneliness that he was experiencing during the 1993 allegations investigation. At the time he was in Moscow undergoing rehab from pain medication addiction and living in effective exile from the United States while the Santa Barbara PD ransacked his home and invaded his private life.
“Sounded like God was singing”. No better way to describe the experience of listening to MJ.
@musiclover06
@Jack Reacts
I'm positive that @Jack Reacts has never heard GOD, YHWH, sing, nor has anyone else, so the comparison/likeness is impossible and completely false, a.k.a., a lie.
The fact that @Jack Reacts stated this & you agreed & repeated it, clearly displays that you both don't think about the meaning of what you hear, say or repeat as long as it feels good enough to serve your narrative.
I'm also positive that GOD, YHWH, and/or the sound of HIS voice, cannot be, so similar to any man's, that you and Jack Reacts would mistakenly & FOOLISHLY liken any man's singing to YHWH, HIMSELF!
Neither of you know what your saying or anything about the GOD, YHWH, that you speak of, because you wouldn't have carelessly & foolishly used HIM for the subject in your lying statement, which was completely void of any reverence for HIM, & only served your own narrative & pride to praise and uplift a man and falsely attribute the credentials of THE CREATOR to the creation. It sounded warm and fuzzy to your own feelings and looked to be so grand. "The highest compliment that you could think of, right"? You are fools.
Michael was an extraordinarily, talented man and one of the greatest singer/song writer/dancer/philanthropist that lived. He was a great gift to us. But Michael reverenced YHWH and purposely served HIM with a humble heart & gratitude & he would have never uplifted himself or his talent & make himself equal to or like GOD! If you told him that foolishness, Michael would have been OFFENDED FOR GOD,YHWH! He also would have been forced into the uncomfortable position to hurt your 'feelings' with truth to correct you or a troubled discernment for how to tactfully reject your foolish exaggeration with a clear & concise display of nonacceptance!
You also do not know your god's name. It is wiser for you and the reactor in the video to learn about the GOD, YHWH & what offends & disrespects HIM & HIS authority before you speak ignorantly about HIM, and believe your own foolish, self serving pride!
Truth matters, not your temporary feelings. You may have done this with sincere intentions but you are sincerely wrong!
A word to the wise is sufficient.
@@thequieterubcomethemoreuhe1198what
That drum patern is Michael beat boxing
This song, stripping it down to every detail, from start to finish, is musically and aesthetically a masterpiece.
He used to say “i am the loneliest person alive”...
Jack Reacts
Michael was one of the toughest and most brave human beings ever... he couldn’t catch a break from the minute he was born almost... in every aspect of his life... health, abuse, bullying, being falsely accused and simply be the cash cow for every lazy person out there... and yet he still managed to keep going, keep smiling and keep his humanitarian work... anyone of us who had to switch life with him for an hour would probably go crazy....
Also, 1988 American Music Awards performance of The Way You Make Me Feel/ Man in The Mirror is absolute 🔥 🔥
Definitely.
Please react to Michael Jackson man in the mirror live in Bucharest 1992 🙏🏾. Love your reactions❤️👏🏾
Man in Mirror at the 1988 Grammys was superior.
Yes!!!! Please do this performance
Yesss please
yes
If loved this then you should listen "Will You Be There" It's one of the deepest and prettiest songs he's ever written! It was featured in "Free Willy" so the music video has clips from the film that play in the background as he performs.
With Michael they all become favorites 😉. He was a deep thinker and writer he's been through things that no one can imagine since he was a little child.
I love you MICHAEL..!!
This song literally gives me chills every time I bump it. Free note is that during this time Russia was helping him get away from the United States and they were hiding in. He had love around the world he could go anywhere except the United States because they would bash him so much for whatever reason.
King of Pop forever 👑❤️❤️
You know, every time I hear him say "im living lonely" I tear up, sometimes cry fully because I can feel him heavy....
We need a lil Michael Jackson marathon on here 🔥😁😉
I bet he’ll like the Liberian Girl video. It’s a lot of recognizable faces in that
Ty'Shia Adams he did that one
@@classyboy04 yesssss
classyboy04 he didn’t do the video just the song lol
Antiunna Butchee yea I get that but I assume her focus was more on the song than the actual video because all it was ere a lot of celebs showing up
@@classyboy04 I was wanted to see the song and video, was just curious if he recognized any big names of that time
You're just like me. It's so hard to fight that ball of tears in your throat when u hear beautiful music! Let it out!
Long story short😥..This song was my comfort in my darkest and sadest times in my childhood. Every time i was gonna spend the weekend with my father, he just dropped me off at my grandparents to go out partying instead..everytime! I was 8 years old and always had the history album with me and this song stood out. (I cut my father off a long time ago but the pain and ptsd remains) I am now 35 and this song still makes me cry and i feel it deep in my heart. I don't care, Michael have always been a comfort and means a lot to me🤩❤
He had so much money and he was having a lot of fun in his life....but there was ALWAYS preassure, lonliness and darkness waiting to get him....
This song was from when he was being accused of molestation. He took off to Moscow for awhile and wrote this. Its worth another listen to get that real feeling from it. It makes me cry to know he was so lonely and felt like an outcast.
The climax at the end , always giving me chills
0:48 that little drum pattern , Michael did that with his mouth , beatboxing
The people are lonely and depressed, meaning they lack connection and feeling. And when it starts raining, they are touched by the rain like it is caressing them and they start feeling again and letting out their emotions. Also the standing in the rain symbolizes crying.
I love his music❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Eternal ✨MJ✨
I cry every time I hear this song,so emotionel 😢MJ forever 😇👑❤️
Michael Jackson's they don't care about us...🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great song
YEAH,.. THE BEAT BOX IS THE DRUM BEAT, & IN THE BEGINNING!!!
