Is there some call and response going between the guitars from 4:01?
Big sincere thank you, and God bless Chris Liepe.
Nowhere on the Internet have I seen a vocal teacher who shares as much information as Chris
It's because he loves to teach people to sing. Music can make anything better. I've seen his Ren interview and he was so happy to find out his lessons helped Ren be as good as he is.
Faaaaaaaaacts!!!!!!!
Specially with Michael's songs ✨
Him and Keegan DeBoheme are my go to guys for vocal stuff 🙌🏻
He´s the man for sure😮
That is a voice and talent of a 19, 20-year-old at the time. As a singer and independent recording artist, I know how much work, focus and dedication went into creating the vocal masterpiece, let alone the entire song. Micheal was truly in his own caliber and lane from the jump!
yeah incredible at that age, taken me 20 years to just be able to sing his songs, and thats not even creating, so pales in comparison.
one of a kind
Off The Wall is one of the best albums ever made. It’s my favourite Michael Jackson LP.
It absolutely is one of the best albums ever made, but imo still not the best MJ LP. Just goes to show how great he was.
I have listened to these stems before and the layering is next level. Over 45 years old and sounds better than anything today with better technology
It was better recorded than most of what passes for what some think is good sound today. Bruce Swedien is a master engineer, and the production from Quincy Jones was exceptional.
MJ once again demonstrating why he’s the King. Another wonderful lesson Chris. The way you teach invites passionate learning and it’s so exciting to see 🔥
Quincy jones had a strong rule here.
@@jacquesfinster5034 he definitely did. His role can’t be overstated on this whole album. You can hear a synthesis of Q, MJ, Bruce, and Rod. But it’s also a prime example of MJ’s creativity and passion. There are things on this song that he takes with him all the way to History and Invincible and those are part of his signature. It’s amazing to see.

Every time a new one of these MJ multi tracks are released, it feels like Christmas unwrapping my presents.🎉🎉🎉
The bassline is an interpolation of Heatwave's "Boogie Nights" from 1976 which was also written by Rod Temperton.
I have never immediately felt so in love with a song like this one. I was watching Bad Tour videos on YT, found this song and went straight to download it.
Yep bad tour was amazing too in its own way. He could sing greatly at that time.
Man off the wall is his most under appreciated song. It’s perfect
Michael is so amazing!!! Don´t forget!! In this era he was just 19/20 years old! He is unbelievable! He is the best!!!!!
Keep in mind Michael was 20 years old when Off The Wall was released INSANE 🔥
Right?!?!
thank you Chris for this content and helping keep this man innocent. Michael is 1/1000000000000000000000000000000000 and there will never be another like him
I am swooning. The parts where Michaels voice is isolated are heavenly. Thank you for sharing this.
Really enjoyed these MJ multitracks and what you brought out.
For me this was his best album, and that's not an easy pick given the strength of all his work. I was teenager when this first came out and all my early disco experiences were accompanied by some of these songs, fantastic memories.
Love your breakdowns Chris, always next level..
❤ you can tell that vocalist has been doing this his whole life
Insane combination of vocals. OTW has always been an absolute top 5 for me MJ-wise, but all these gazillion tracks, dear lord 😮 Thanks for sharing Chris!
Also, the haunted sound of that Off The Wall intro with that theremin you talk about.
That was the start of Michael becoming the King of Halloween.
Rod Temperton made both the songs Off The Wall & Thriller so whatever horror vibes he was feeling were delivered expertly by Michael & the studio band. I can NEVER get enough of those odd chord changes & eerie sound with Michael's creepy laughs.
This song is BEST when played at night. ALWAYS. LOVE it!
sometimes i think that off the wall (self titled), this place hotel, and thriller are all connected
@@MsLafayette12 Absolutely.
You can even see this trend extend into the HIStory era with the short film Ghosts as well as the Invincible era with Threatened.
Even look back at that Triumph era again beyond Heartbreak Hotel & listen to Your Ways throughout the song.
Finally some off the wall action!!
Would love a breakdown of “Butterflies” by MJ.
OH GOD YES! Not only Butterflies but also whole (I wish) Invincible album! Such an underrated album 😭
@@aibotakali8636No available multitracks (on the internet, of course) for any of them sadly.
Oh, MJ.. I already here. Hit the like button. Love these videos 🫶🏼
Man! Shout out to Mike,Quincy, Rod Temperton, Jerry Hey, Greg Philliganes and everyone else who contributed to this masterpiece. Especially the greatest engineer of all time Bruce Swedan! Thank you so much for true Artwork
Placement in this production is incredible!!!!!!!!
Wonderful. My favorite MJ album.
Chris' musical tastes are sublime!
You are going through one of my ALL TIME favorite songs. A song that I THOUGHT I knew humming it by ear.
But it's more complex than I thought when you go through it track by track.
I have to redo my homemade workup of the song notes now. You still miss a lot even playing by ear.
The vocal harmonies by Michael on Off The Wall are some of my all time favorites.
I love trying to sing along to each line & find out how different they are from each other. Especially the lowest line.
And the sheer joy in Michael's voice here. You FEEL the sentiment of being free & off the wall from him in this song.
Before Michael's life got so complicated, he was able to sing songs like with this kind of abandon & joy.
That's why so many people like the Off The Wall album over his others even though they're all good.
Every now & then I just get an inkling to start singing out loud:
♫ *SOOO TONIIIIGHT, GOTTA LEAVE THAT NINE TO FIIIVE UP ON THE SHE~ELF!* ♫
♫ *And Just Enjoooy Yourseeeeelf. GRooOOVE!* ♫
Incredible. Pure genius at work.
This kind of videos not only show tracks, but also the magic of them and how each small detail out of these create a bristling, unique and beautiful masterpiece. Thanks for sharing this!
Its ridiculous how bad the goosebumps on me are every time i hear these breakdowns of MJ voice abs music. The king!
Michael's alibis were mesmerizing.
Nunca me cansaré de ver estos análisis, gracias desde Colombia
This somg is so complex. It’s mind blowing. I like Mike jack
Michael was a musical genius, surrounded by Quincy and Rod forged an unbelievable powerhouse team that could layer upon layer sounds and melodies that would gel beautifully to create magic. All those nuances that in isolation sound odd when mixed in with the other elements just make so much sense. This and Rock With You are my two favourite pop/rock recordings as they are just exemplifying geniuses at the top of their game. Wonderful.
Those vocals are INSANE!!!! Thank you Chris for this analysis♥
Chris, admit it. You lose yourself for hours ruminating through these tracks, don't you?
I don't blame you. I would do exactly the same thing. Michael's song production is just WHOO!
Yes :)
My favorite MJ song of all time. It will never get old.
I could listen to this for hours! Absolutely amazing 🤩.
Thank you 🙏🏻
One of my favorite songs ever recorded !
The end of the bridge @26:00 is pure bliss to the ears
This makes me emotional! These arrangements, instrumentals and vocals are sooo good 😭😍 And your analysis, as always, is so educational and fun! 🤩
I am Gen X, and have been a Michael Jackson fan for almost all my life. I have seen him live in concert and listened to his music for countless hours. It makes me happy to be able to still discover new aspects of his music that is still so fresh and joyful to this day.
I love Rhodes too Chris! Live instrumentation!!
My brother steve was MJs limo guy bringing him to the studio on this album 1978/1979.
Claims he gave Mike the idea for Beat it that he used later on thriller
That's a great story :)
Agility is a great description of Michael.
❤ Chris what I call it as my bag of tricks
Love it love it love love it ❤
The king of Voice , Vocal , Harmonies , Sing and Dance !!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Think you so much my Favourite Chris 😊👍👍👍👍
Just crazy to hear those vocals, and have them explained. I love it when Chris finds a phrase and demonstrates, exaggerates, and explains what he hears.
On August 10, 1979, we were given this masterpiece of an album. At that time, we had to enjoy it as is.
Now, thanks to channels like this we can absolutely dive into these classics and have an experience previously unattainable.
The Quincy Jones, Rod Temperton, MJ combo is immaculate! Off the Wall is objectively better than Thriller
Both have their own charm. But I like Thriller better. OTW is phenomenal too
I agree. I love Off the Wall much better. Both are great albums though.
Song for song i choose Thriller, even tho I like the song off the wall better than the song thriller lol I like Bad album better than both, only thing missing from Bad in my opinion was a Rod Temperton song
Don't forget uncle Bruce
Chris, what a video! Wow! Love the analysis, the explanation, and most of all-‘your excitement!👏🏼
Thank you for reminding us once again what an exceptional vocalist MJ was and how those brilliant tracks were recorded back in the day- real music, no tuning and just pure fun and passion for music ❤
Can’t wait for more!
That end ad-lib.. “living oooff” is something Chaka Khan is infamous for too
You the bomb Chris!
Just hearing that gives me chills literally!😮
You like this man more even to listen to him without music, his own voice, the way he uses it already gives even the melody. I know there are many good voices,
Like Freddy Mercury, and others. But I've never really heard such an incredible voice, it's not just the tones he uses, it's that he plays with it as he wants, it's something wonderful, and he always seems to give his life when he sings and that transmits it and all that is why we love Michael Jackson. Thanks for the video. Let's see if you can play any from the Invincible album. King of Music
I could easily just listen to each stem individually over and over again whilst chilling out.
I have replayed the first 5 minutes more than 15 times already… and when Michael comes in…. so much color comes into the mix. truly unreal! thank you for this! this video is a GEM!
This guy's reaction to the music is something I found very enjoying to watch😅💕
Love it... top musicians of the time too... my fav MJ LP by far... Rod Temperton on fire...
❤ you really get to learn how open music is to play with
The one I was waiting for 🤩🤩🔥🔥🔥is just amazing
❤ it shows you how they structured it
Dude, I love hearing those gang vocal stacks with Michael, Rod Temperton and Patti Austin❤
Yay! *grabs popcorn and perks ears* 🤩
Yes, I’ve been waiting for this. You should just do the entire album because I think you love it just as much as we do.
Rod Quincy and Micheal laid some funk on yo ass with this one buddy ❤..big up to the musicians also ..very funky
Hi Chris! Love the reaction as always! I highly suggest reacting to Michael Bolton next! His vocals are truly INCREDIBLE!
This is outstanding I cannot wait to hear it too.
Now the laughter, dissonance used in harmonies, backing voices, vocal ad-libs, percussive hiccups etc are off centre-ie Off The Wall to the average disco track of 78/79. Which is why the Off The Wall album is the standpoint in between from disco popularity to the new pop R&B coming into the early 80s. Thanks Chris for the track analysis.
Mate……… no words as just listening to this is emotional. Quincy was a master at getting the best vocal performances out of Michael. Tone, texture and pitch. Michael executed them all with precision. What it must’ve felt like to actually be in the room while they created this… 😮
❤ Chris you're wonderful instructor
❤ Chris I think you're a great voice instructor but somebody I don't think does😊 I'm going to figure out what the email man to said someone was not happy❤ maybe I misread it
Always waitin on the mj breakdowns 💪🏾. Appreciate you man
Totally enjoyed every minute of this your analysis of one of my favorite Michael Jackson's songs from one of his greatest Albums (my fav)!
Que grande era, genial gracias
Mj songs are like great cakes they have the best layers
Dear Chris, I wanna thank you for this magnificent experience.
I knew that song like millions of people, but never the way like that.
From now on, every time I listen again, it will be a magical moment. It's really a masterpiece, thank you.
The vocals gave me chills!
The group backgrounds weren’t used in the final mix Chris. Michael thought it was overkill so they took them out.
and i agree with him ;)
I think its just Michael's natural soulful style shines naturally so thats why every announcing run or rasp to his words come from his natural gritty soulful singing
Soo good & impossible to not move. One of the greatest albums ever recorded. RIP MJ.
I love watching your MJ analysis sessions, Chris. You don't miss a thing! Best regards, C.
OMG, Michael's voice t the 9:00 minute mark.... UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!
And sometimes the structure doesn't make any real musical sense but it works😮❤🎉
Miraculous. Thank you for stratification of this master artist performance. It is clearly distinctive and so spectacular. Really unprecedented.
Off The Wall the album and the title track is my favorite MJ album and song of all time! 😊💕💕💕
This is such an amazing song! Thank you so much for breaking these tracks down with us ❤
Only wish I can give you 10 thumbs up because I love what you do so many people don’t get the respect as well as a person giving them their applause. Keep doing what you’re doing. There are a lot of people like myself who love all the music that you’ve helped Michael put out not just wanted two songs, thank you for your knowledge and thank you for making the greatest that has a microphone
Just goes to show you how much incredible work went into the production of these works of art. And I do mean work, no short cuts here, just grind after grind after grind. Really, really long hours. Everyone absolutely KNEW what they had to do. Absolute Mastery! 😳🔥🔥🔥
Wonderful, wonderful!! Thank you Chris!!🎉
If we want to be great in a domain, we need to learn from the greatest. Thank Chris to share this kind of content. That's why OFF THE WALL is part of my MJ's TOP3 aldult albums.
29:47 why do i like this part so much? beautiful run into this fun play with "9 to 5 upon the shelf..", he sounds like he could just starting making up a new song right there...that "9 to 5 upon the shelf" playfulness sounds like the song could turn into something off of Broadway.. was he recording for the Wizz at that time too? ... Oh, what a treat is to listen to this man making music. there is so much groove in all of what he does, his voice, his relationship to instruments, how he plays with words, rhtyhm.. such groove.. just "Nasty" in the most glorious way possible..
❤ Chris, I love this software you turn me on to it is so great😊❤🎉 and I'm having a lot of fun with it too
hi chris! just came by to say that i think i watched every of your mj analysis videos while i work and relax. thank you for doing this 🥹 i'm still in awe about michael's craft and artistry because of your analysis even more. can't wait for you to get on the last album he made before he passed which is invincible. he more so leaned on rnb there and his track, butterflies, especially vocally is very interesting because i know he did something new there.
can't wait for more mj music analysis from you!
I wish the song heartbreaker 🥺 but thanks for your good videos we like and love Michael Jackson and thanks for upload this videos have a nice day 👍
The choirs with MJ voice in this particular track are the amogst the best all time for me.
Great video as always Chris. I really love your insights and opinions on Michaels voice. A lot of people totally disregard or overlook the fact he was an absolute masterclass singer not only performer. I think that’s why most people who truly enjoy his voice are singers themselves lol. You have covered a lot of his voice now from different eras except in or around the invincible album period. I think it would be interesting to see what your opinions are on an older and more experimental Michael. Of all the songs on that album “2000 Watts” is the one that stand’s out the most to me. Most people I play it for don’t even realise it is Michael Jackson since the vocal sits so low. I think when isolated that could make a phenomenal analysis video and give you a new look on the King of Pops range. Much love from Ireland 🇮🇪
Chris - PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE do a video on 'The Lady in My Life/The Girl is Mine' - i thank the universe everyday since i discovered your channel. i cannot believe we get to hear the true GENIUS of michael we have NEVER been privy to before. bless you. you are fantastic with a brilliant personality. big love x
Love it! Keep them coming 😊
I love love love otw. MJs voice is just beautiful. Love how you share so much knowledge Chris - thank you 🙏🏻
Wonderfull as always ! Thank you Chris
“The minute you stop caring if you’re stupid is the minute you unlock your voice.” That is definitely being added to my Chris Quotes that instruct and inspire. Stupid I can do. Translating it into amazing music is a fun goal. Thanks for another amazing analysis video Chris. 🙏🥰
On second thought, accidental stupid I can do. The on purpose, I don’t care stupid for the sake of a fantastic performance, that is not so easy. My ego fights the freedom. I need this kind of practical demonstration to put said ego to rest to unleash the unhinged.
Lord that bass just brings it home
You've been killing it with these uploads Chris! One of my favourite songs for sure!
