Definitely one of the best music videos that Michael Jackson put together. After seeing the whole thing, I think through the video Michael was saying that he felt like an amusement park in the eyes of the press who try to make him look bad.
I agree with you, @DJDoubleCee. I wouldn’t have blamed Michael for his having felt the way he did about the media. Many of those who had the _nerve_ to call themselves “journalists” were nothing but _LYING,_ opportunistic people who made up stories about him for two main reasons.... _ATTENTION_ from the public, and the _MONEY_ to be made from writing, broadcasting and posting blatant, outright bold-faced _LIES._ Michael had dealt with media speculation about him and his private goings-on throughout his later teenage “post-puberty” years and adult life. He wanted to be known for his _MUSIC,_ mainly, _NOT_ for such irrelevant business that _should_ have been kept private, along with the media’s meddling in and constant guessing about what he (supposedly, _allegedly_ ) did or didn’t do offstage and away from the recording studio, _NOT_ for his seeming “weirdness,” “eccentricities,” and “strangeness” to a media and general public who _REFUSES TO_ understand him and _still FAILS miserably_ at understanding him, _NOT_ for what he, his immediate family members, spouses* (*ex-wives) and _biological_ children of _mixed-race_ descent outwardly and physically looked like, nor for the physical appearance of anyone else, including that of people who just so happened to have been present in the same place at the same time as he was (at any given moment), to be seen around him and photographed _with_ him.
I fell in love with Michael at 2 years old. Moonwalker was the cause. The entire movie amazed me. As a small child he appeared so magical. I used to wonder if he was real. An actual person. It's crazy that all these years, I'm still in love.
I relate to this so much too. Moonwalker was the first VHS I had and I watched it over and over for years and years. I still do, and now my kids do too. So blessed to have his magic still in our lives
Same here :D This is a movie that, when you are a kid, really is such a magical ride where so much crazy stuff is happening and yet you never question it. You just watch it in awe and don't want this ride to end. And yes, this is STILL one of my absolute most favorite movies even (or especially) today.
For the 80s this was the type of music video that must have blown everyone’s minds. I was only a few years old and was in love with Moonwalker, I watched it multiple times a day every day. The layering and etching time and techniques were out of this world for that era. I miss you Mike
One of my favourites! Recorded in 1985 - 1986, suprised me that Michael first recorded this and Smooth Criminal in mid/late 1985! Just comming to the end of the Thriller/Victory Tour Era ...
This video has so many cool Easter eggs that I spot something new everytime. It's so unique and love that it was a message to the media and haters at the same time.
This is why i love his shortfilms. There's SOOOO much going on that you can discover. Like the Breugel Painting of the Tower of Babel with all its details. His videos have so much replay value.
Another fine video. And a good deconstruction behind the nuances of the song and the video. The King of Pop still remains somewhat underrated for the sophistication and depth of his lyrics and visual ideas.
Interesting how many people connect MJ and his music with themes of "paranoia" without giving it any thought. Since being paranoid is inherently irrational; it implies being suspicious or guarded towards something is an overreaction without an apparent cause. Would anyone reasonably say MJ was irrationally suspicious about the way the media treated him? This whole "paranoia" thing is a fundamental misunderstanding of what was done to him. He was absolutely justified in protecting his privacy and distrusting people, and especially those in the media. @12:00 "Mystery breeds rumour, and if Jackson didn't make a point of being so out of reach and exotic, maybe the public wouldn't want so badly to reshape him into our own personal pet." Wow, just wow. Bring on the victim blaming - "she asked for it by wearing that dress..." Absolutely disgusting. What gives anybody the right to demand that another person acts a certain way, and if they don't, they will be abused? Not to mention the creepy, dehumanising "pet" thing, I mean what? Man, these people really were fucked in the head.
The Media sounds like narcisist... Acting like he owed them .. they just wanted access to disrespect him anyway. They mad they never got the chance.. most of of those papers ran fascist and racist rhetoric as their throughline back then.. Michael was right to ignore them
The media always found a way to gaslight Michael; making him out to be crazy, delusional or whatever else, and whenever he dared to react or question their assumptions they act like he's proving them right that he is 'crazy' or they do a reverse move and label him as paranoid. The sheer amount of mental fuckery and mind-games this man had to deal with from the media and the snakes in his life would drive anyone to insanity and yet he somehow remained level-headed, kind-hearted and rose above the constant BS with grace.

Such an awesome video for its time… so fun but yet somewhat haunting due too the message he was getting out .. leave me alone is one of the best visuals videos too date… ❤️❤️❤️❤️
no disrespect but the press would not have been after him if he hadn't started a game with the press that he would not be able to win. the press started it yes, but Michael made things worse by messing with something he should not have been messing with. the press was the fire and Michael was the fuel and what happens when you add fuel or gas to fire it grows and that is want happed here Michael fueled the press and made things worse. The press is at fault, but Michael does have to take some of that responsibility. both are guilty of messing with each other but that is what stars/celebs do they mess with the press as much as the press messes with them. and they use the press as much as the press uses stars/celebs. But Michael is a victim not denying that. And no doubt the greatest black entertainer of all time. THE KING!!!
@@leeannabesser1374 Sounds like your dragging him in with the press. Why are you blaming Michael for something he did not do? It's the fault of the press and only the press.

Stars use the press as much as the press uses Stars. And if course if I was blaming him, I wouldn't be in a way be supporting him too I love Michael otherwise I would not have said in that comment (But Michael is a victim not denying that), but it is both their faults the press and Michael. Michael is not perfect, but you have to condone his behavior, and his ways of how he did things. yes, the press is at fault but so is Michael I see both sides not one.
The American media is what made him leave the states. You saw that footage those animals took of him walking on the tarmac with his suitcase in 2005/6????? Heartbreaking!!!! The American media has blood on their hands. The American media is the reason MJ left the US after the 2005 trial.
All I can say is no one will ever understand what Michael went through, some might say it's his fault but really u all don't know what it is like to being his shoes. For me I support whatever he did, Yes he made mistakes but we are all humans
ive been obsessed with this song and music video lately, and seeing this video just makes me love it even more. i wish more artists would do stuff like this
He became the biggest black icon and solo act with Thriller and the backlash with Bad was predicable. They didn’t want such a powerful black artist owning music publishing and selling bigger than anyone else.

I love love love “Leave me alone” . I always wanted to have insights about the production of this beautiful artistic piece. Thank you , thank you , thank you
I would love an analysis of the song itself, rather than the video. The chorus, with layers upon layers of Michael Jackson's vocals in call and response echoing off and around each other is the best example of his genius. It's a continuation and evolution of his vocals at the end of "Show You The Way To Go" off 1976's The Jacksons LP. I would LOVE to hear the original multitracks. I bought Bad when it came out on August 31st, 1987 on cassette. That same Christmas, my parents bought me a Sony Discman and of course all of Michael's albums on CD. I was AMAZED and obsessed over this bonus track, next to The Way You Make Me Feel as the best track on the album. Genius!
As a kid, I was taken back by how wacky the music video was. However, I now understand the theme and meaning behind the concept which makes me appreciate this song a lot more. This was an early version of Scream in terms of a track where MJ pushes back against the narratives that the media created about him.
It's wasn't just the doctor who killed Michael... it was the media... they were horrible to him.... he deserved soooo much better. I'm so glad he can find his peace in heaven...
He was and is, a wicked perverse godless individual who is not in heaven. There is no rest for the wicked. That's why he could not rest in this world nor now.
@@hebatalal2004 wickedness is not an opinion. You utter relativism nonsense . Do you like wickedness? Godlessness? Why would I be jealous of perverse wicked person? The fact that you celebrate such degenerative filth shows, you are like your idols.

I love this Michael Jackson music video. Love the style and it’s creativeness. I love all the symbolism and representations. Now seeing that so many staffs worked on it and how each picture /photo was taken as a single shot make me appreciate the art behind it. Love it.
As a kid this was one of my ABSOLUTE favorite music videos / Shortfilms ever. Because i had always loved anything stop motion animated and rotoscoped. The sheer creativity and crazy ideas oozing from such productions always showed me that ANYTHING you can imagine is possible to be put into a visual experience. For a young easy to impressed kid like i was THAT was one of the most important and beautiful things and concepts i could ever be exposed to. When Moonwalker came on TV for the first time i already knew about this musicvideo. I was so happy to see it was included in the movie because it really belonged there. LOVED "Moonwalker" so much and still do.
Leave Me Alone is my favorite song by MJ. Although as a child it was the music video that amazed me, the song itself is almost hypnotic as it moves like beating heart. It’s wonderful
This song and music video changed my life in 2003. It introduced me to Michael's music and music in general. I still love it. What an amazing chorus with all those layered vocals. Mind melting
@@terriansmith5136 Absolutely and I still cant believe how lucky I was as it was childhood dream to see him one day.And then out of nowhere I did. It was experience beyond words one can't describe.
wow didn't know it was from the same people as sowing the seeds of love I really really love the technology of both those videos. Those would definitely be CGI nowadays. This intricate analog cut out photo art was so expensive and short lived but it's really unlike anything you see these days.
I find it funny that the media took the music video so personally. The way they reacted to it, feeling so called out and then shifting the blame, shows that Michael was exactly right about the media😂😂
He was attacked by the industry… they had no idea what he was going through. Now I knew how bad the media was to him, but I never would’ve thought they would shift the blame for something they caused. Being called out is nothing compared to what Micheal faced in his life.
@@BubblesBear17 I feel so bad for him, he was abused by his father just because he was more successful than his brothers. Them along with the industry and him taking pills was probably the most reasonable cause for his death.
@@erimator17 Oh he was highly addicted to opioids, sleep meds and xanax and such towards the end of his life. The problem was that he was a functional addict. So he could still easily live life being an addict without many people noticing it. And that is very dangerous. Ofc it sadly cost him his life😔
Essa música é uma das minhas favoritas, gostaria que mais pessoas conhecessem ela, o videoclipe é muito criativo e interessante, um trabalho muito bem feito, a mídia até os dias de hoje não deixa o Michael em paz
The King of POP would have become The King of Cinema 🎥 ! MJ's interaction with " iconic hollywood pioneers" Made him Thee Only Artist to have absorbed Soo many experiences and to use those each performance !
sorry if this will be a long comment but Yes, i agree the press was disgusting because he wanted to be private i get that and they should have respected that but i respect Michael if he wanted to be like that, but it puts pressure on people who are trying to get the truth out there and, in this job, you have to give something up and that would include some of your privacy and since Michael wasn't willing to do that and give up some not all some of his privacy his career will demolish and get destroyed. it is the price of fame Sadly. if you don't respond to rumors they will increase. Michael should have spoken up more and done more otherwise this crap around his legacy wouldn't be around. you have to show people some of who you are otherwise people will come up with all kinds of stories and speculations and with Michael because he didn't show who he is as far as the Michael, we didn't see it allowed people to use him and Patry him in ways that really isn't him and get away with it. i get Michael is private but if Michael had just showed who he really is the people claiming he is a bad man, and a molester wouldn't have any leg to stand on but because Michael didn't it kind of made his legacy a mess. like I said you have to show people who you are especially your fans so they wouldn't feel like they are being fooled. Especially after being accused of child molestation and after that people will start to wonder if they can ever trust the person again especially a celebrity causes the good celebs do need to separate themselves from the bad celebs that are in the industry for the wrong reasons cause the good ones are in it for the right reasons and it can get a little confusing who is in it for the right or wrong reasons sometimes cause the bad ones do the same thing keep their private lives private but for a different reason unlike the good one they keep their private lives private cause they are private. And so, it kind of messes it up for the good ones because they sometimes get confused with the bad ones. I not going to lie i am a little confused because of all the crap surrounding Michaels legacy it gives me a headache trying to figure stuff out but i am not going to give up because i love Michael. LOTS OF LOVE!!! xxooxxoo
I like this music video because it shows what he was going through with the media. People think the bullying and the lies started in the 90s but it really was the 80s. Along with speed demon he literally was asking for help in these video. I LOVE YOU MICHAEL 🥰🤩

Could you do a video about Michael's biggest heroes, idols, and influences (Walt Disney, Charlie Chaplin, Elizabeth Taylor, Sammy Davis Jr., James Brown, and others.)?
"This Is It" would have been done in its entirety if they left him alone. there needs to be a code of ethics in regards to journalism, now more than ever.
I was watching this video yesterday how iconic the song and video was I remember the video when it came out definitely off the Moonwalker Movie 🎥🍿I was scared of this video too as a kid 💯is was different and unique/scary a lil
Same,… kind of. I I wasn’t out and out scared of it like I was of Thriller when I was younger, I found it weird and a little creepy but was fascinated by it. The dogs were uncanny and the overall feel was surreal one thing that didn’t bother me though was the elephant man skeleton, I thought it was cool. I had the single on 7” vinyl as well.
Good video, the detail. I remember seeing this in the cinema as a kid when I went to see Moonwalker and it was interesting but very strange. I've grown to really appreciate it. It would be good to see more behind the scenes footage one day as this video and Speed Demon are underrated tracks from Bad. I think what's easily missed about this short film is that it's a journey inside Michael's head which he himself has to navigate through. It also sounds like "The Way You Make Me Feel". Deserved the Grammy but it would've been better for Moonwalker to have won Best Long Form Video overall while leaving this for the MTV Awards.
good video!...I love this song and the video clip is also great. The effects and props are amazing, it's like a painting! The meaning of this song is what Michael felt about the tabloids! Good job 🍥🛐
My MOST FAVORITE Michael Jackson Video, Ever. I remember seeing it the very first time on my “MoonWalker VHS” in 1989 (age 9). I watched it OVER & OVER. It was the coolest video I ever seen in my life! I remember finally getting a CD player in 1993 and got the BAD CD with the song on it!!!

It's a continuation and evolution of his vocals at the end of "Show You The Way To Go" off 1976's The Jacksons LP. I would LOVE to hear the original multitracks. I bought Bad when it came out on August 31st, 1987 on cassette. That same Christmas, my parents bought me a Sony Discman and of course all of Michael's albums on CD. I was AMAZED and obsessed over this bonus track, next to The Way You Make Me Feel as the best track on the album. Genius!
one of my favorite song of michael jackson of all times , I retaliated a lot to the lyrics
As a kid, I was taken back by how wacky the music video was. However, I now understand the theme and meaning behind the concept which makes me appreciate this song a lot more.
This was an early version of Scream in terms of a track where MJ pushes back against the narratives that the media created about him.
It's wasn't just the doctor who killed Michael... it was the media... they were horrible to him.... he deserved soooo much better. I'm so glad he can find his peace in heaven...
He was and is, a wicked perverse godless individual who is not in heaven.
There is no rest for the wicked. That's why he could not rest in this world nor now.
@@danielmann5427 if you don't like him why are you here? The entire channel is about MJ , may be jealousy?
@@hebatalal2004
wickedness is not an opinion. You utter relativism nonsense . Do you like wickedness? Godlessness?
Why would I be jealous of perverse wicked person? The fact that you celebrate such degenerative filth shows, you are like your idols.
@@danielmann5427 A bunch of lies and gibberish created by you.
The American media is what made him leave the states. You saw that footage those animals took of him walking on the tarmac with his suitcase in 2005/6????? Heartbreaking!!!! The American media has blood on their hands. The American media is the reason MJ left the US after the 20045 trial.
RIP King ❤ Would have been 65 today. Dearly missed. A true pop star.

That video is an Animated Masterpiece, it's no surprise the media was to butt hurt by their depiction that they continued to mock Michael.

4:18 haha, love that you paused to flip the paper
I love this Michael Jackson music video. Love the style and it’s creativeness. I love all the symbolism and representations.
Now seeing that so many staffs worked on it and how each picture /photo was taken as a single shot make me appreciate the art behind it. Love it.
I love to listen and watch your "Details".
not to mention the beat seems to have been used also for his song A Place With No Name from his 2nd Posthumous album,Xscape
Facts
"Rising above the hatred" that's what this video is about and Michael certainly did that! The (King Of Pop) Forever
😤👊🏾✨️💖💯🎩👑
Whenever I feel angry or depressed I listen to this song.
As a kid this was one of my ABSOLUTE favorite music videos / Shortfilms ever. Because i had always loved anything stop motion animated and rotoscoped. The sheer creativity and crazy ideas oozing from such productions always showed me that ANYTHING you can imagine is possible to be put into a visual experience. For a young easy to impressed kid like i was THAT was one of the most important and beautiful things and concepts i could ever be exposed to. When Moonwalker came on TV for the first time i already knew about this musicvideo. I was so happy to see it was included in the movie because it really belonged there. LOVED "Moonwalker" so much and still do.
Leave Me Alone is my favorite song by MJ. Although as a child it was the music video that amazed me, the song itself is almost hypnotic as it moves like beating heart.
It’s wonderful
I love your videos. Michael lives forever
In my opinion, “Bad” was his best album. 🤷♂️
It's a great album but I prefer thriller
@@RyanPente. thriller is my favourite
Your opinion is correct. I absolutely love Bad.
Totally agree!
Unpopular opinion: Dangerous was his best album.
This song and music video changed my life in 2003. It introduced me to Michael's music and music in general. I still love it. What an amazing chorus with all those layered vocals. Mind melting
What a masterpiece, awesome song and amazing video! Watching it as a kid was as tripping as watching the original Disney's Alice in Wonderland 🤣
I was so terrified to watch this music video as a child. Thriller and ghosts were like Disney cartoons in comparison
The art direction in this music video is very much underrated.
It got a grammy and a Cannes Lion?
@@thedetail. But compared to his other hits, nobody thinks of this song or music video. It just flew under the radar
He was Judged more than loved because he was loved. Such a sad story.
Leave me alone is truly a hidden gem from bad
One of my favorite song king of pop forever iloveyou Michael Jackson 😍😍
One of my favorite songs that shows the legacy of Michael Jackson and his movie Moonwalker
Top nice song Lave Alone❤️🔥❤️🔥🙆
I feel like this was the cutest he ever looked right here
The most talented thoughtful and wonderful person Michael Jackson you are missed Michael
Michael jackson forever
I was lucky to see him live in wembley ages back and he was one of the greatest megastars ever
You are soooooo lucky!!!
@@terriansmith5136 Absolutely and I still cant believe how lucky I was as it was childhood dream to see him one day.And then out of nowhere I did. It was experience beyond words one can't describe.
@@mystikrebel1089 omg 😮 I am so jealous he died when I was 14 and I just wish I was given the chance u did
@@terriansmith5136 Well all i can say is he does live on forever and with his music and videos hes still here among us
wow didn't know it was from the same people as sowing the seeds of love
I really really love the technology of both those videos. Those would definitely be CGI nowadays. This intricate analog cut out photo art was so expensive and short lived but it's really unlike anything you see these days.
This video & Speed Demon are my favorite videos from the Bad album
I find it funny that the media took the music video so personally. The way they reacted to it, feeling so called out and then shifting the blame, shows that Michael was exactly right about the media😂😂
He was attacked by the industry… they had no idea what he was going through. Now I knew how bad the media was to him, but I never would’ve thought they would shift the blame for something they caused. Being called out is nothing compared to what Micheal faced in his life.
@@erimator17 very true
@@BubblesBear17 I feel so bad for him, he was abused by his father just because he was more successful than his brothers. Them along with the industry and him taking pills was probably the most reasonable cause for his death.
@@erimator17 Oh he was highly addicted to opioids, sleep meds and xanax and such towards the end of his life. The problem was that he was a functional addict. So he could still easily live life being an addict without many people noticing it. And that is very dangerous. Ofc it sadly cost him his life😔
@@BubblesBear17 It’s sad how no one cared how he really felt, they just saw him as a singer who puts a smile on for the camera every time he sings.
Michael Jackson siempre brillando a pesar de tanta oscuridad a su alrededor!!!
Essa música é uma das minhas favoritas, gostaria que mais pessoas conhecessem ela, o videoclipe é muito criativo e interessante, um trabalho muito bem feito, a mídia até os dias de hoje não deixa o Michael em paz
Super underrated tune. One of my favorites. Love the Stevie Wonder style groove.
Leave me Alone is such a catchy song and bizarre music video. Thanks for doing a video on it. :)
The King of POP would have become The King of Cinema 🎥 ! MJ's interaction with " iconic hollywood pioneers" Made him Thee Only Artist to have absorbed Soo many experiences and to use those each performance !
Yeessss more great videos from The Best MJ Album EVER…………….THE BAD ALBUM
Agreed!
the media response was disgusting basically saying he deserved how they treat him because he chose to be private smh
sorry if this will be a long comment but Yes, i agree the press was disgusting because he wanted to be private i get that and they should have respected that but i respect Michael if he wanted to be like that, but it puts pressure on people who are trying to get the truth out there and, in this job, you have to give something up and that would include some of your privacy and since Michael wasn't willing to do that and give up some not all some of his privacy his career will demolish and get destroyed. it is the price of fame Sadly. if you don't respond to rumors they will increase. Michael should have spoken up more and done more otherwise this crap around his legacy wouldn't be around. you have to show people some of who you are otherwise people will come up with all kinds of stories and speculations and with Michael because he didn't show who he is as far as the Michael, we didn't see it allowed people to use him and Patry him in ways that really isn't him and get away with it. i get Michael is private but if Michael had just showed who he really is the people claiming he is a bad man, and a molester wouldn't have any leg to stand on but because Michael didn't it kind of made his legacy a mess. like I said you have to show people who you are especially your fans so they wouldn't feel like they are being fooled. Especially after being accused of child molestation and after that people will start to wonder if they can ever trust the person again especially a celebrity causes the good celebs do need to separate themselves from the bad celebs that are in the industry for the wrong reasons cause the good ones are in it for the right reasons and it can get a little confusing who is in it for the right or wrong reasons sometimes cause the bad ones do the same thing keep their private lives private but for a different reason unlike the good one they keep their private lives private cause they are private. And so, it kind of messes it up for the good ones because they sometimes get confused with the bad ones. I not going to lie i am a little confused because of all the crap surrounding Michaels legacy it gives me a headache trying to figure stuff out but i am not going to give up because i love Michael. LOTS OF LOVE!!! xxooxxoo
I like this music video because it shows what he was going through with the media. People think the bullying and the lies started in the 90s but it really was the 80s. Along with speed demon he literally was asking for help in these video. I LOVE YOU MICHAEL 🥰🤩
The American media is what made him leave the states. You saw that footage those animals took of him walking on the tarmac with his suitcase in 2005/6????? Heartbreaking!!!! The American media has blood on their hands. The American media is the reason MJ left the US after the 20045 trial.
Fantastically written and directed as always. Thank you The Detail!
Thank you!
Il mio video musicale preferito in assoluto e uno dei migliori video musicali di tutti i tempi. ❤
Could you do a video about Michael's biggest heroes, idols, and influences (Walt Disney, Charlie Chaplin, Elizabeth Taylor, Sammy Davis Jr., James Brown, and others.)?
Definitely wanna do a video on MJ and his fascination with Disney
another amazing video!!! Thank you!!!
My favorite song & favorite video by Mike ALL-TIME!
"This Is It" would have been done in its entirety if they left him alone.
there needs to be a code of ethics in regards to journalism, now more than ever.
THE AMOUNT OF ART IN THIS MV IS UNBELIEVABLE!!!
Your work ethic maks me happy! everytime something new to watch
Thank you!
Media: YOU MADE ME DO IT, ITS YOUR FAULT. YOU
Just a fabulous song & I wish the media would've left him alone he might still be here with us👍 Rest easy in Paradise my Angel 🙏😇🙏 XOXO ❤️
Love your "Behind the Music" videos. Def some of my favorites on this channel. keep up the great work and pls make more of them!
*definitely
Obviously it’s an abbreviation 🙄
I was watching this video yesterday how iconic the song and video was I remember the video when it came out definitely off the Moonwalker Movie 🎥🍿I was scared of this video too as a kid 💯is was different and unique/scary a lil
Same,… kind of. I I wasn’t out and out scared of it like I was of Thriller when I was younger, I found it weird and a little creepy but was fascinated by it. The dogs were uncanny and the overall feel was surreal one thing that didn’t bother me though was the elephant man skeleton, I thought it was cool. I had the single on 7” vinyl as well.
This is, and will always be, my favorite video of Michael Jackson
Good video, the detail. I remember seeing this in the cinema as a kid when I went to see Moonwalker and it was interesting but very strange. I've grown to really appreciate it.
It would be good to see more behind the scenes footage one day as this video and Speed Demon are underrated tracks from Bad.
I think what's easily missed about this short film is that it's a journey inside Michael's head which he himself has to navigate through. It also sounds like "The Way You Make Me Feel". Deserved the Grammy but it would've been better for Moonwalker to have won Best Long Form Video overall while leaving this for the MTV Awards.
good video!...I love this song and the video clip is also great. The effects and props are amazing, it's like a painting! The meaning of this song is what Michael felt about the tabloids! Good job 🍥🛐
My MOST FAVORITE Michael Jackson Video, Ever.
I remember seeing it the very first time on my “MoonWalker VHS” in 1989 (age 9). I watched it OVER & OVER. It was the coolest video I ever seen in my life! I remember finally getting a CD player in 1993 and got the BAD CD with the song on it!!!
"Interesting video on MJ throughout the late 80's, up to throughout the 90's as well." 'Interesting to watch & view here.'
Man that puppet at 3:30 caught me off guard😂😂😂
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Watching this video make me wanna watch leave me alone 😂😉
