• Michael Jackson - Stra...
There never has been, nor will there every be another performer like Michael. One of a kind.
Who lifted from Sam Cooke, James Brown and Fred Astaire. And it worked for him. 🥰
@@vaughnmiller4371more so Jackie Wilson than all of them. That’s who first inspired him.
@@IAmMarcoA Yes. I neglected to mention Mr. Wilson. 👍
Story behind the song: MJ was quite literally in Moscow shortly after the '93 allegations broke. Alone in his hotel room, feeling isolated by his fame and whats going on while simultaneously seeing a crowd of fans giving him support outside of his hotel window..
He captures the feeling of isolation, pressure of the walls coming in, and loneliness in that moment.
Yes we know
The song is mostly written by Brad Buxer, who did not get the credit on the album! (kind of bad style) He did not complain because MJ was so sad (and his employer)
@herle Brad Buxet wrote the music, not the song lyrics. He took what he was working on for Sonic 3 and created the music for the song that MJ wrote to.

I will say it again - Michael should have done unplugged concert broadcasted across the globe and released. The guitar at the beginning of the song..amazing. Saxophone... This is a special song where his pain and sadness shine through, and most of us commiserate with him 💞 I think it’s one of the most melodic songs. You just sit here and appreciate Michael for everything he was able to express. Chris, thank you.
Prince suggested the same thing to him
I've always regretted that he'd put so much effects & decorum in his live shows, as in the end it felt like he was "drowning" under all those layers, while he obviously didn't need them at all to be able to shine (and nope, contrary to popular fans opinion, he didn't have laryngitis during all of his Dangerous Tour & History Tour periods... he was just tired and strained and he wanted to put up a "blow-your-mind" show where people would go nuts (he repeatedly said it in a few interviews). That's also one of the reasons why he's so underrated as a vocalist. Chris' listening sessions allow everyone to appreciate the depth of his vocal performances, I wish they would reach more people as they're really "ear-opening" and enforce respect even to those who
But still... a full concert by MJ, one spotlight on him, eventually unplugged (or semi-) musicians, no background dancers jumoing all over the place, no special FX but his raw voice...would have been a delight
@@filigrifI thought the same thing. I even think Janet should’ve done a vh1 unplugged concert for the same reason. People sleep on both of them vocally and it’s a shame
Yesssss That would have been great for him for even new fans or fans that he lost just to kind of bring him back and more of an intimate environment And then have special guests. Such as Blackstreet doing there, version of Billie Jean with him, and all of them sitting on stools, including Michael. Of course, there would be a little bit of dancing, but you get what I'm saying.
I love how they used his beatboxing as the bass line and then built around it
Stranger in Moscow is such an underrated masterpiece. One of MJ's best songs. Thank you, Chris for sharing and analysing.
13:31 his harmonies is something that makes him stand out from other artists. And i heard him talk about how long he would spend time finding the new ways to harmonize. Doing it again and again and again.
Ladies and Gents: the greatest of all time right here!
Miss this man. Master of his craft, pure genius!
My favorite MJ song along with Human Nature. Michael Jackson just kills the vocals on Stranger in Moscow. Love your analysis. Great stuff. The entire song is gorgeous from the instrumentation on up to the vocals. Brad Buxer should have gotten co-credit for this song as he was instrumental in the formation of the melody. The melody is just so moody and ethereal. Pure genius.
So many of us have been waiting for this one. It's been my favourite MJ song for the longest time, and i get such a profound feeling whenever i listen to it. The way he sings "Lord have mercy" towards the end just gives me chills. Also, the music video is just utterly gorgeous to watch. Thanks Chris!
❤beenmyfavourteMJsongfor
My forever favorite song of Michael! The amount of emotions is unbelievable..my favorite line is ""happy days will drown the pain ""
Thank you chris!❤❤
Laying on my floor crying as I listen to this 😘🤣 love you for doing this!

17:58 I’m literally in tears. Damn you left us too soon, Michael….
What a masterpiece, the lyrics, melody, short film and performance, everything!!! This is MJ and Brad Buxer making magic, thanks for posting it.🤩🤩🤩
My sister committed suicide and this was the last song she was playing in her car so it's really hard hearing it broken down.
😢
🙏🏾
One of the best songs by MJ! Absolutely genius 🙌
❤onefothebestsongsbyMJAbsoue
I don't listen to Stranger In Moscow often, but i can appreciate this vocal performance. Heavenly.
Oh my goodness, Chris! This is one of my top MJ songs, I adored it the moment I heard it. The instrumental is beautiful, mellow yet so sentimental. You did a wonderful job analysing these multi tracks, love your input. Ironically, I watched this video whilst walking in the rain haha😄. You're amazing, thank you so much for sharing these with us and your insight!
This is pure gold, it’s divine.
Thank you.
He expressed his emotions and feelings in that song while a concert in Moscow. Of all songs of Michael, this one is to me so unique and special.
One of my all time favorites of MJ. Thank you so much!
My favourite song of mj, and probably of all time. ❤ Great to hear it isolated like this.
btw, the way you are vibing with this multitrack is golden 😆
The performance for this in the MJ ONE Las Vegas concert is AMAZING btw I just saw this for the first time last week and was blown away
It was so MAGICAL ✨️❄️ I saw it a few years ago. I teared up during this presentation. I was blown away. The MJ One Show in LV is one I recommend to people over and over
Do you know everybody,
The music original came to on video game Sonic on 1993-94…
Too late , it’s Brad Buxer is arrange the same music and the melody.
Michael was write the lyrics only, but you can read on the credits on History Album is wrote : lyrics and music by Michael Jackson.
3 years ago, Brad Buxer was interviewed in France and it say :
You not credited for the music
Why ?
It say : oh it’s not important, it’s Michael Jackson the king of pop
This response was very humble.
👍👍👍
His most creative masterpiece of all came together on this track. Apparently way past his prime he never seemed more artistic than he was on this album.
EXQUISITE... I cannot find any better word... today is raining in Buenos Aires, my home city.... the perfect soundtrack for this afternoon...THANKS FOR THIS CHRIS!!
Michael jackson is music and music is Michael jackson ❤😊
❤MIchelJacksonsImusIcand
Just a perfect masterpiece!! He's giving that 'hah' sound at the snare while beat boxing is really cool it just gives more feel! Today i am actually a bit ill so i stayed at home and didn't went to college so i have heard this without disturbance. Thanks for uploading this mister Chris!! This helps a lot for me😊😊
ALwyys waiting for these, loved your in the closet analysis the way you analyse vocals in genrral ive never seen anyone do it liek you do i learn so much from these so thank you and shoutout to the guy providing these tracks, imma get my food ready and enjoy this.
My absolute favorite MJ song!! Such an underrated song!❤
case for one of the most beautiful songs of all time
Thank you Chris for devoting so much time to the instrumental tracks this time around - the guitar, percussion, sax and bass solo are all incredible. This is one of my all-time favourite of Michael's songs. Absolute perfection.
Have you ever done videos breaking down his live vocals
Thank you for showing the genius and raw beauty of this song, such an amazing video ! Incredible
Stranger In Moscow is one of my favorite tracks from Michael! 🤩
Did not expect to hear a Korg Wavestation sequence on this track: 8:50. It makes a fascinating mix with guitars
An early version of the track's chord structure appears in the video game Sonic the Hedgehog 3 in the ending credits. It's a very interesting way this all came about. More here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stranger_in_Moscow#Writing
14:18 you're having too much fun😂😂
One of his best. One of your best. Thank you so much. I love the details of this song.
Never ever heard Perc O1 L before (near beginning of video). It must sit in the mix so well it’s not very noticeable. Now I’ll listen for it. Synth Strings are magical and really are the glue to the song. Good job Chris. Always fun and informative. Brad Buxer who helped Michael with Stranger in Moscow and many others said that’s Brads favorite Michael Jackson song and mix they worked on. The Immortal mixes are the best remixes of Michaels music because they kept the essence and just accented what was there. Tasteful and really nice.
❤weItsnotverynotIeabeMow
I hope the song " We ve had enough "one day? Great job Chris. I love your videos especially on the King of Pop!
Great content as always, thank you, Chris!
This song is my favorite song of all time. My other favorite song that you should do on your channel is Michael Jackson tabloid junky. Love your content
Ayyyyyy more Michael Jackson. Off to a great start today!
Thank you Chris, loved this one as well, amazing job explaining it. 🙌🏼🙏🏼✨
Oh my God!! Thank you so much
He Is a legend no doubt about that
Thank you sooo much for all those videos! Amazing stuff!
performed, written and produced all by himself. This song is a true masterpiece and it's soooo underrated.
just WOWWW
pure genius the master at work
I think this is the first song I noticed his beatboxing
Michael atista unico. King. ❤
Love this track. Definitely underrated.
haaaaa my fav ballad )))) how does it feel
I'm so excited to watch this! 🎉
I wouldn't have expected the 12 string guitar to sound so Lofi, not just Lofi, but it doesn't sound totally perfect. Not that that's bad, but it's not very common in MJ productions. While it is true that MJ himself experimented and let himself be less than perfect from time to time, most of the instrumentation in his stuff has historically been very produced and perfected down to the smallest detail.... you can hear the imperfections here though, and it's interesting that they left that in. I like it.
"Is it scary" by MJ would be awesome!
my favourite song
He was a genius. I love this song.
Love, love, love your videos!! It’s so educational and it’s so awesome to see you break down these vocal techniques! It’s inspirational and encourages me to try new things and explore my voice! If at all possible, could you do one for “Tabloid Junkie” by MJ?? It’s such a unique song from the album. Thank you for all that you do! 🤍
Wow beautiful
All MJ wanted to do is be left alone so he could do what he loved to do best....make music for his fans that he adored so deeply. I miss MJ.
Another great breakdown Chris. I know some may say that they don’t need to sound good BUT, I’ve always hated how cheap the string and choral tracks sound on this track. It’s like they got the most basic 90s Yamaha keyboard and just used the presets. Michael deserved better, this song deserved better!
Would love to see a break down video of another pop artist who lives their art and is so creative with laying, maybe like Beyoncé or someone. Would be nice to know who you think currently is interesting with the way they build a song
Stranger in Moscow is a sonic gem like no other >3
pun intended?
@@rossfromsa It actually was not, but I know why you are asking :-)
❤StrangerInMoscowsIasonIcgem
This whole thing sounds expensive!! Which at the time it obviously was, amazing stuff!
Please please please next Smile
Chris…🥹🥹🥹
Think you 😊😊😊
Yes, I am hoping for Smile!!!!
Mj has instrument credits on this album
analyzes get on the floor from off the wall
YESSSSS!!!
Me encanta que ye dedicaste a analizarlo por completo, Michael Jackson fue el mejor artista
Thank you again!!
Ah yes, the Sonic 3 ending song reworked into an actual MJ song
❤actuaMJsong
Stranger in Moscow simple.... Magnifique ❤
Please do "You rock my world" by Michael Jackson next.
King of Music
❤kIngofMusIc
Please do a video on Richie Kotzen and his performance of 'you can't save me' in 2015. His husky mixed voice is amazing!
Steve Lukather of Toto playing Guitar on this track
Can we get Why You Wanna Trip On Me next???
Thank you for another amazing deep dive Chris! I appreciate the complexity of all of MJs songs, so these videos are like heaven to the ears! ❤
Just a question however, when you point out head/chest voice - I can hear the differences between them, but what is the actual vocal technique used to achieve them?
So glad you’re enjoying! Your question has kinda a long answer :) but if you join my free course in the video description, you’ll get started on the answers! :)
I can’t wait for you to one day get Tabloid Junkie!! One day 😍
Gorgeous song
It's interesting that he has a lisp sometimes.
In this breakdown on 'How does it feel' from the backing vocal harmonies it is quite prominent.
Another track that features imperfect diction (multiple pronunciation differences) was the one Lenny Kravitz worked on with MJ that was released after his death on the 'Michael' album.
I think it was called 'Another Day'. In fairness, that track was not fully polished by MJ before his passing so perhaps just guide vocals were used with unrefined lyrics/recording takes but I think that would be an interesting one to delve into vocally because of all these elements.
Nice analysis of Sonic the Hedgehog 3's staff roll theme.
If you listen The Road Goes On by Toto on Tambu album, the guitar part shared similarity, both tracks played by steve lukather, and both albums released in 1995
Can we have some Weeknd videos PLEASE?
Thank you, I appreciate all your videos so much! Is there a way of getting those multitracks myself? Where did you find them?
@chris I would go crazy if you found Heartbreaker multitracks from Invincible ❤
U should do you rock my world I wanna hear the multiple tracks of that
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
@Swg, @azura, @nick*, the multitracks are out. Do your thing.
I recommend MJ’s Tabloid Junkie next!
there are no multitracks available for this one :(
@@chrisliepe that’s a shame, it’s a hidden gem filled with beatboxing. I really enjoy your MJ videos Chris keep it up!
Making music its not easy
You know i can't. I just can't react right now,because I am too exited to react. Does that make sense? This should be supported by the estate and be a collaboration on mj official channel.
I agree
❤YoukonwIcntIJustcantreact
Yes CHRIS!!! It’s HERE! It’s Michaels most passionate and underrated song ever ! I’m glad you listen to us MJ fans we appreciate it! 🖤 (fun fact: the members of Toto played the instruments for this song!)
I didn't know that!!! thanks for sharing that fun fact!! ... I think that's why this song and "Human Nature" (Porcaro's touch) are some of my favorites... (obviously I cannot choose just only one)...MJ forever💖💖
I absolutely love Toto. I knew about Human Nature but didn't know they played on Stranger in Moscow. Very interesting.
'Stranger in Moscow' Is an effin' masterpiece
My favourite MJ song 😊❤, i remember hearing it when I was just about 5 or 6 and got transported into another World.
Absolutely
The guy was literally shouting out loud how lonely he was...
I'm a man of simple needs: I see Chris posting a new MJ multi track video, I click ❤
Every single time
Same😁
This track is definitely in MJ’s top 5 songs, lyrically, musically and mood is frightfully stunning.
HIStory is an incredibly underrated album. Both me and my brother are huge MJ fans and we still argue about it today 😂 I usually tell him to go to sleep and have some respect! Stranger In Moscow is an absolute masterpiece. Thank you Chris, very much enjoyed this.
History itself is another underrated track
Mj has instrument credits on that album
can u imagine if michael had done an acoustic version of stranger in moscow !!! just his vocals and the acoustic guitar would of been chills down the spine hair on the back of ur neck standing up greatness thats how amazing this song is and how fantastic michael's vocals are his ability had no boundaries no limitations!
Prince, who came to see MJ during the "History" recording sessions, suggested him the same thing.
There is kinda like a light mix of the song that doesn't have much percussion, but it does start off with the guitar and eventually the song builds up
It's called Stranger in Moscow (tee's light ac mix) and it's not on spotify, but you can find it on youtube.
