Michael Jackson reaction, First time hearing Childhood reaction
Thank you for Seph, I want to truly thank you for peeling back the layers of MJ’s career and him as a human being and finally coming to an understanding of him as a man and as a artist it’s truly amazing to see your journey. I’ve been here since the beginning of your MJ journey and it’s been nothing less than phenomenal, i understood everything you were saying and felt about your statement I can tell you’re were being vulnerable and 1000% genuine w/ us as your subscribers etc. this is probably the best reaction to MJ you’ve ever done simply cause you’re scanned him as an artist & human being and can finally connect w/ him on the level as more than just a reaction-er you’re completely invested into MJ and it’s so nice to see you make it this far remember these days cause it’ll make this journey much sweeter each Era of Michael Jackson is such a special experience within itself you’ll want to go back and relive these moment/memories so please as you’re reacting to everything truly embrace it all cause this only once in a lifetime you get to see MJ’s evolution until you’ve became a full on Moonwalker like myself and others and scraping for rare/unreleased material or footage on MJ. Love ya Seph thank you for coming around and appreciate this one of a kind/Angel named Michael Joseph Jackson🥹🫂🤍✨

All i can say is thank you for your wonderful words And being here with me throughout my journey. ❤️
@@SephPlaysno thank you Seph your change of heart and especially your understanding of MJ is truly appreciated!❤️
🦋 Michael JOE Jackson is his BIRTH NAME .🦋 JOSEPH IS NOT MICHAEL MIDDLE NAME ✌️
@@user-gf9lf2dv2e Joe is short for Joseph also his middle name has always been Joseph he only changed it legally I believe halfway thru his life
Man... this man was the most famous star, had all the money in the world and still all he wanted was his childhood, he was so damaged, spent his life trying to recreate it and make up for his lost childhood, makes you wonder if it was actually worth the pain and suffering, he did not have a childhood at all, working since 5 is not a childhood, and if you know the extent of how his father treated him.. just shows the importance of showing love and affection anf let them be kids and play, which his father never did, you know people will try to justify it in whatever way they want, but NO child should be treated the way he was, there is a letter Michael wrote to Bill Bray, his longtime security guard, saying that his father only saw him as "a way to make money", his words, thanking him for being a father to him, think about it, his security guard was more of a father than his own father ever was... it's sad man, rest in peace Michael, at least he showed and treated his kids with all the love and respect always.
😢😢😢
Very sad. I understand people will go around justifying it by saying that’s just how it was back then.. but being forced to work at 5? And facing beatings just because you’re not perfect? Not justifiable, sorry.
While I believe they all enjoyed performing, children need to have time for enjoying their youth.
I was watching an interview and by then Michael was 16. He said they worked 9 months a year and spent the rest mainly writing or recording, so really all working.
Not many people can relate to Michael and his experiences, that’s why not many people can understand him.
But as he said, “No one should judge what I’ve done with my life, not unless they’ve been in my shoes every horrible day and every sleepless night.”
❤
The sign of being a true MJ fan: feeling the urge to protect him and let everyone know he was never the freak the media loved talking about, but instead just a kind soul surrounded by very cruel people. And you're so right for always making it clear that he was childlike, but not childish. He was naive and sweet, but also very bright - you don't become the king of pop by sheer luck or even relying just on your talent. Showbusiness is brutal, and you need to know how to make audiences go crazy over every little thing you do on stage, in short films, etc
HIStory is probably his most personal era. It really is a "masks off" time of his life. Michael showed his vulnerability and empathy, but also his courage and strength. He truly stood up for himself on this album in a way he had never done before, but without ever forgetting his goal of inspiring change in the world. It really makes you respect him even more, not just as an artist but as a person.
If you go back to the Dangerous Era, mainly the bucharest concert which is amazing, I'd also recommend watching the Oprah interview, because it really shows the true Michael and the transition from Dangerous to HIStory. Oprah would turn out to be yet another snake that didn't truly understand or care about him, but their conversation really shows off how smart, kind, funny and charming MJ was. It provides very important context about the Neverland Ranch and how it was much, much more than just Michael's way of experiencing the joy of the childhood he never had -- it was his way of making sure other children wouldn't experience that same pain due to not having the best living conditions, or having severe health issues.
His speech at the Grammy Legend Award in 1993 is also an easy way of understanding Michael and how he was way ahead of everyone regarding lots of social issues. And as a bonus you get to see him and Janet being really cute together.
You totally get it! I feel so protective of Michael as a fan it is infuriating sometimes when I see the crap said about him
I will definitely be going through the dangerous era very very soon. This was a teaser more then anything. ❤️
You feel the same way as all Michael Jackson fans, fed up with the constant attacks without knowing anything about the media rubbish and the false allegations . People who do their research know all of this and there are a lot of ignorant people who believe the made up stories of tabloids . Those who love him and understand the facts and have done their research love and protect him and I'm proud of you and your videos and i can see your emotions are real . I'm sure better times are ahead ❤️
As a fan it’s like we’ve built a sacred relationship with him.. whether we’ve met him or not, there is just something there. Something so strong that we can’t help but wish we could make the media just stop. Something so strong that we cry with him and for him.
We see him as a beautiful, sweet, gentle, and wise being. Sadly not everyone seems to have that understanding..
I also quite like his interview with Geraldo Rivera in 2005 I think? It was respectful and Michael had such a way with words! He was very much a brilliant man.
Something about him is so captivating as well, once I started looking into him it’s like a fell into this rabbit hole and I’m stuck, but I don’t mind!
I’ve drowned myself in research, which is something I wish others would do.
Once you look past the tabloids a whole different beautiful picture is painted.
There’s a video of him on TH-cam recording this song in the studio. It’s really emotional 😭
Please react to that🙏
Yes in fact seeing the recording of this song made me appreciate it even more. Michael is always to respectful and polite to everyone.
Ohhh thank you, how may I find it? 🙏
@@claudiaputtin287 Jsut Put in Michael Jackson Childhood Recording on TH-cam
This is one of few songs on the History album that isn’t angry. History was full of f you moments but it had it had its balance of emotions. Sadness, loneliness, rage, happiness, and uplift. Also the repeated theme is to be yourself and you get what you want. Low-key I put it up there with his best work.
I haven't read all the comments to know if anyone has already said this, but it gets even sadder when you realize that all of the actual children get to be in the flying boats - while he's forever stuck on the ground because he missed his window to be up there.
Beautiful reaction Seph, its a shame the tabloids ultimately took a toll on him mentally and ended up driving him to his death, they will one day pay for breaking down such a innocent and pure human being
❤
For the ones like me who have stood by him for so many years your reaction is truly heartbreaking. Thank you for giving him a chance .
This is Michael's best self-expression in his own words on record. Love and to be loved. Its an absolute blessing to feel it. Praise for humanity and humankind. God bless.
What these people don't understand is if Michael were to hurt a child, he would've been hurting a part of himself, Michael said it himself: "I would slit my wrist before I would ever hurt a child" it's sad man
this is an on cam testimony of what happens with ppl who get it...who begin to understand. I am in tears bc u feel what we all feel since decades and how unjust it is how they treated him. Especially if we ourselfs did have a terrible childhood and he helped us escape from it with his music and his existance. And they try to take our joy and his joy and turn it into something it never was. His hugs btw were the best. He hugged tightly and understood exactly.
I don't know of a singer who has been more dehumanized than Michael, what you said is very interesting, if they give you hate, return it with love, that was Michael's Philosophy too, even with all the bad things they did, and they never talk about him He gave it back in kind, I admire those who are evolved like that.
So sad that he even had to make this song asking people to try to understand him :( you can tell it came from his soul, there is a drawing Michael made which was included on the HIStory booklet in 1995, which shows little Michael sitting in s corner like almost hugging himself with a microphone in his hand and next to it he wrote the lyrics: "before you judge me, try hard to love me, look within your heart then ask have you seeh my childhood - MJ" 💔😞
So very sad reading this too :(((
Oh yes that picture made me so sad! It’s sad that he was constantly having to justify who he was, but people kept hurting him anyway.
People are so ignorant too. I see so many of them spreading lies and people believe it.
I saw someone say that he was playing a victim and seeking attention and sympathy through that drawing.. they refuse to open their eyes to the pain he truly suffered, I sometimes wonder how they can be so hateful. 💔
@N0EL-7007 the world is full of evil people. We need more empathetic and sympathetic human beings like Michael
I found the video more heartbreaking as I got older because I see it as Michael has repeatedly been left behind or ignored by the kids, forcing him to be alone.
“Childhood” ~ Written by Michael Jackson. Produced by Michael Jackson and David Foster. Additional vocals by New York Children's Choir. Recorded in 1994. Released as a double A-side with the single "Scream". "Childhood" is an autobiographical song written and composed by Michael Jackson. Of all the songs he composed, he condidered this his most personal. "If you really want to know about me", he would say in a 2003 interview, "there's a song I wrote, which is the most honest song I've ever wtitten... it's called 'Childhood.' [People] should listen to it [if they want to understand me]. That's the one they should really listen to." "Our personal history begins in childhood", he said "and the song 'Childhood' is a reflection of my life... it's about the pain, some of the joys, some of the dreaming, some of the mental adventures that I took because of the different life that I had in being a child performer. I was born on stage and 'Childhood', it's my mirror - it's my story" The theme of the track is his difficult childhood experiences. If you know anything about Michael Jackson's childhood, it is that he didn't have one. In this song, he is saying "have you seen my childhood?" - he didn't have one, and is constantly trying to make up for it. The poignant lyrics provide insight into his tragic life. Several lines are heartwrenching. In his pleas for understanding, he reveals self-awareness of how his life was peculiar and eccentric due to his attempts to regain his childhood. Thrust into performing and a public life practically since birth, his life really was devoid of a childhood. He was formed, admired, then ridiculed by the media and greater public. The video is set in a forest; Jackson, in scruffy clothes, sings "Childhood" while sitting on a tree stump. The camera moves up the trees into the night sky and flying airships travel overhead. On board the ships, children w/ childhood experiences are seen playing a variety of games as they travel further away from Jackson, towards the Moon. Other children w/ childhood’s appear in the forest undergrowth before floating up towards the airships, but Jackson remains seated on the tree stump ultimately cause he had no childhood. (MJ poured his heart and soul out onto this song and the short film is a masterpiece truly Long Live MJ The Greatest Music Artist To Ever Live The King Of Music You’re Truly Missed My Idol Forever! I truly believe MJ is the most misunderstood human being to ever live he even said it in the song he hung around children cause only they could make him joyful and he compensated with them to gain back the lost of childhood he never had imagine being a superstar the biggest superstar of all time and never getting to stop to smell the roses around you alot of us take our childhood for granted MJ taught me to appreciate mine cause you could have none at all like his self and it’s so hurtful he was made fun of by his own father etc. and then to be ridiculed by the media/tabloid junk for helping children through his humanitarian works the whole universe deserves to give Michael Joseph Jackson a Big Ol Apology! 🙇🏽♂️😭👑💖💫)
Beautifully put!
you should react to the footage of him recording this song , it's magical , you can hear how high his voice can REALLY get
Can't wait to hear it! But also kinda dreading hearing this again... 😢
Thanks for defending MJ in public.
People forget that he lived in his crazy lifestyle since he was 5 years ago. Not many people can even remember what they did at 5. Michael had to be an adult sooner than he should have. No matter what went on he tried so hard to keep that child like innocence we should all keep.
It seems like such a hard life to live. As a child he was said to be like a 40 year old man in a child’s body, then as an adult he’s portrayed as a 10 year old boy in grown mans body.
Which isn’t surprising, considering he spent his childhood having to live as an adult (the constant working, performing at clubs) it’s no wonder he’d feel like he needed to relive his ideal childhood.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to hold onto that innocence and joy, I agree we all need to hold onto it.
Thank you for looking beyond the tabloids. He was in my world from 9 and watch him soar than then be attacked relentlessly. He deserves recognition and respect ❤ and I respect you 🫶
Thank you Jill! Wonderfully put!
Seph, I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for your honest and heartfelt reaction videos. Thank you for going on this Michael journey with an open mind and a serious point of view. And thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to truly understand Michael and feeling that need to protect our MJ. Thats what being a true fan of this man feels like ❤ ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you Shannon for being here. Being surrounded by other great fans like yourself makes me feel like im not alone ❤️❤️
I love that you have taken the time to get to know Michael. There are many close minded individuals who don’t care to understand him and see where they could possibly have misjudged him.
I truly love and respect you for your honesty and openness and candor regarding your feelings about Michael past and present. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, now you understand why Michael’s fans are so fiercely protective of him. He was and is so misunderstood.
Thank you for this reaction!
Steph, I unstand actually where you are coming from, when you say you want to protect Michael. I have felt that way since i first saw the K5 at the age of 6. And Michael was 10 at that time. I could see so much through his eues, joy, heartbreak,sadness, and fear. Throughout J5 into The Jacksons, he had so many struggles. Please watch, Jacksons: An American Dream. It will give you more insights into his life. I for one Thank you for having an opened mind. Michael was so misunderstood and ridculed for just being a kind, loving, and caring person! Caring about the planet, people, and animals should be a human goal, not just put on a few people. It's up to all of us to make this a better place!
GOD BLESS!
Omg, this really got to me as well Seph, started to tear up listening to the lyrics, the media can be so cruel!! Believe me as much as I miss this guy, he is in a much, much better place, god I believe made sure of this!! Be there with the angels MJ!!! You dig it Seph, that is why I love you, you get it!!🫶🫶🫶🫶
Okay, you've entered the HIStory era - I'm so excited! It's something very personal, in different situations and points. The album is divided into two parts, with some hits from the past and new songs. The album itself starts off explosive. You kind of started at the end hahaha but you're going to love it, Seph! It's something that Michael himself once said, this album is a sonic biography of himself.
To know him. Is to love him❤
9:27 The boy is the son of Barry Gibb (Bee Gees) and Michael's godson. He is named after Michael.
WOW i didnt know this connection before!
@@SephPlays There is even a video in which Michael introduces his godson. While Michael and his brothers were inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997, Barry Gibb surprised him together with his son Michael. It's a beautiful moment.
The History album is pretty much all Michael telling his own story. It's my favourite album for this very reason. Be prepared for a the most emotional journey with this album.
Wow, I really appreciate your heartfelt reaction to this song. At MJ's funeral, Brooke Shields did like a remembrance speech and described MJ as having 'arrested development'. I have seen females for example who were teenage mothers trying to dress and behave like a youngster when they get to middle age. So as you mentioned there may be quite a number of people out there who still behave in a child like manner but behind closed doors.
"Childhood" is Michael's most autobiographical song. He wrote and composed this wonderful song while "Man In The Mirror" is by Siedah Garrett and Glen Ballard.
And thank you very much for your kind words.
I love you steph. Thank you you understand him. God bless you sweetheart
I know, Steph, this song hurts me so much!
It makes me cry every time, as beautiful as this song is, it still hurts me to my heart ❤️😢
As heartbreaking as this song is I think it is very important, Michael said this is the song people should listen to if they wanted to know him, he said this was the most personal, honest and autobiographical song he ever wrote, and you can see it and feel it, the emotion in his voice, the sadness in his eyes in this video is so noticeable 😭😭 I just wish his father would have shown him a little love and affection, and that he was able to play with other kids instead of working working working and that this world wasn't so mean to him oh my poor baby Michael 😭 if there is a heaven I hope you are up there right now, where this cruel world can't hurt you anymore ❤
Please react to Michael Jackson in the studio recording childhood it's so beautiful and Michael is holding pictures of children to inspire him he said if there was no children in the world he would throw in the towel ❤
So bloody sad that even something as simple as that could be taken the wrong way ya know!?
Ah, Steph, this song - the lyrics and music really touched you in ways you didn't expect. Your empathy and care for Mike and transparency is admirable.
It seems that it's been important for you to redeme yourself, because how you once felt and thought.
I hope you have some self-care in place... can offer yourself the same empathy and care.
Love and light, C.
Omgg this makes me want to cry so hard 😭 I understand you Seph I feel very protective and almost in a maternal way too about Michael even though I don't have children yet ❤ it may sound weird but he is always so adorable, listening and watching this and knowing just how sad his childhood was and how mean people were to him his whole life, I just wish I could hug him very tight and tell him that I understand him 💔💔😢😢
Thank you for this wonderful reaction. Michael was an angel on earth. He deserves our respect. I love hearing him sing Childhood.
I can see you now see his heart. You get it now. So happy for you.
Refreshing to hear somebody speak this way about MJ. Lovely video, mate. New subscriber.
I hate that I can relate to this
I feel like my childhood was slaughtered in front of me
awww, I didn't expect this song today, but it makes me sooo happy!! this song is so emotional :((, his voice is so lovely
Michael, in his own words, was raised in a world of adults, and adults have ‘let me down’. Michael trying to recapture and recreate his childhood is something many people would do, if they had the means and the money. Love your reactions Seth, you’re a joy to watch. Michael will be never be anything less than a hero to me, he made MY childhood better, and he sacrificed his own to do that, and not just for me. Also, is that music at the end, from Donkey Kong Country?! 👏
you know, I'm a fan of Michael. I'm a lover and a fighter. I will defend this man until my last breath. He deserves it. he is not only a mega star, he is also a man with a heart. He changed my life. Michael said something extraordinary: "My fans and I share something extraordinary that few people will ever experience." It's true.

Commentaires
This song does hit different, especially after what happened after 1993 with the allegations and stuff. HIStory is an album where Michael strikes back. More angry, more aggressive. This is one of the few calmer songs, but what a masterpiece this song is. There is also a pretty long video on youtube with Michael recording this song. It's beautiful.
But to fully understand where HIStory is coming from, you have to finish the Dangerous era. There are so many videos I can't wait to see your reactions too, like the 1993 Grammys speech by Michael, where he is presented an award by his sister. It's one of the most beautiful speeches he has and in the Dangerous era he opens up more and speaks more about himself and stuff and then the allegations happen. It's just really sad. The MTV 10th anniversary awards, Bill Clinton's inaugural Gala, The Superbowl, The Oprah interview and of course the Dangerous Tour (Bucharest especially). So many things to go through. Also the years in review.
Thank you for doing this Seph. I really appreciate you, your videos and your thoughts and very excited whenever you post a MJ reaction.
He always thought he was not okay and all those terrible tabloids called him eccentric and strange and probably made him believe that crap. I REALLY wish there would have been more people like him, he was more than just okay. Pure soul!!
Your lover not a fighter, was perfect. A line from the song The Girl is Mine with Paul McCartney
Even though i hate that song with a passion! I have to admit MJ's lines in it really did stick with me. I love to quote him haha
Why do you hate it?
To be honest, after Michael's death, you couldn't find, the girl is mine or say, say, say anywhere. It just started be played on TH-cam. TGIM and The Way You Make Me Feel has his sister LaToya is in it. And also what you may not know is where they shot both songs, was on the future Neverland sight!
@@michellec5407 You might have to watch my reaction to it haha
this is one of the most beautiful yet heartbreaking song ever… i think it was Michael at his most vulnerable. i hate how many people were awful to him and how the media dragged him because he was such a beautiful spirit and a talent we’ll never know again.
I’m really late to respond, but hearing what you said at the end really struck something in me and I felt the need to comment.
I feel the exact same as you. I’m a fairly new fan, but I remember being scared because I started enjoying him so much, which led me to basically putting my life on hold in order to research him. I went in thinking he probably did it and came out absolutely shocked. I just can’t believe how he was treated.
I personally have only interacted with the “haters” once. I usually refuse to feed their ego but it’s so hard because once you learn about him you feel as if you have to protect him.. it’s hard to explain but it’s likely because we understand the injustice he faced.
I just want to say to you and any other fan to not let the negativity get to you. Follow the facts, haters will spread misinformation and call you names because they want to feel validated and bring you down, but you can’t let them. I just remind myself that if they spend so much time trashing a man and his fans they probably don’t have a life. 😅🤷🏼♀️
I personally have to say being a Michael Jackson fan is the best thing, but can also be the worst. He brings me so much joy and has made me a better person, but having to deal with what people say can have such a bad effect on you mentally. The best we can do is just continue to spread love to our community, follow the facts, and stay strong.
Thank you for bringing your positivity in and sharing it with us 💛
Steph,
At least you gave him a chance, more what others have done, even to their date and time.
Bless you and your family indeed 😊😊😊
@Sephplays To watch your fanhood and appreciation of Michael Jackson grow over these ten months have been wonderful to see. I wish more who do not know him well would have your approach. It is easy to see that you have been authentic and true in your reactions. The great thing is, there is still so much for you to learn about him, the good and the bad things that happened to him. (Especially in the 90's) Michael will forever be missed.
I've just watched this reaction because some MJ fans are sharing it. I so much see myself in your reaction because I had the same experience almost 15 years ago now. There's feelings you just can't forget, although over time you'll learn how to cope with them... Finally you got the truth and that's what really matters! I'm sure Michael's happily watching over us
I've noticed a sudden influx of new people here, where is this being shared if you dont mind me asking?
Thank you for being here ❤️ lovely to meet you
@@SephPlays nice to meet you too! It’s being shared on some MJ Facebook groups with a lot of appreciation for the video! People are happy that among the hatred there’s someone changing his mind about him :)
Being 21, I just started discovering Michael a few days ago. I mean... I've been knowing him for as long as I can remeber, as long as I've been conscious, like everyone else, but I never took the time to really search on his career and discover his story and who MJ really is, I didn't even know about all the allegations that were against him, didn't know about his childhood, i didn't know about Jackson 5, didn't know he had children...
Once, by chance, while scrolling on instagram reels, I came across three consecutive funny videos about him, as if it was a sign, and there I realized that I only knew his name as a brand "Michael Jackson" the sound of his biggest hits and his dance moves that everyone imitates, nothing more. There, I understood that I needed to search about this man.
I went on you tube, and watched the first video, then the second, the third, the fourth, the fifth, and didn't stop for 3 consecutive days, and each one of the videos was longer than the previous, and each one on a specific aspect of his life. They were all pretty long videos that I'd normally never watch in a normal context, but I didn't even feel the length.
So video after video, I found myself extremely and unconsciousely attached to this man, Michael Jackson, I litterally fell in love with the person he was, the artist, he was, and felt a deep pain for every single trouble he faced during his life. Idk why, but as soon as I found out about all the allegations against him, I didn't believe a single word of them, as if I've been knowing him personally for my whole life. And I still can't understand people who think he really did the stuff he was accused of. Without talking about the pressure media exercised on him, and the infinite critics on his physical evolution, and btw I find him extremely handsome in all his looks, and cute, I loved his shyness, his purety, his way of behaving, his politeness, his STUNNING SMILE, Idk I just loved the globality of this man, I realized that I'm in love with Michael Jackson. Now I feel sorry for not having known him earlier, when he was still alive, considering that I was born in 2002, and now I just feel the need and the necessity to protect him from every single person who talks bullshit about him. The only explanation that I can give to people who still think he's "a weird criminal", is they FOR SURE didn't take a second to get to know him, bcoz it's impossible to know Michael and not love him, it's impossible to know MJ and don't feel the urge to protect his child-like soul, and his pure heart.
I'm glad and proud that I never ever judged him in my whole life before doing any research, and never followed any of the bullshit that was spoken about him, but I really wished and hoped from the deepest bottom of my heart that he was still alive, just to show him and give him the love he deserves to receive, and make him understand that he is really the great and beautiful person he didn't know he was inside and out.
I hope your soul is peaceful, and I'm sending you tons of love and respect Michael, know that even after you're gone you gained a new fan, fan of you as a person before anything else.
Love you Michael Jackson.
Goodbye 🤍
Wow i loved your story! So you discovered Michael some days ago and you already know all these things? And btw are you italian?
@@AlexSR__ thank youuuuu ❤️ I mean...I knew him since I was a baby just bcoz he is Michael Jackson, but never thought he had such a rich and emotional story, so when I searched and watched maaany videos about him I just fell in love with the person he was so randomly 🤍 and yeah I'm Italian haha how did you know 😅??
@@hajarhilal9235 Yeah but you said you started your research a few days ago and you already know a lot! E ho capito che sei italiano/a leggendo la descrizione del tuo canale hahah
I had pretty much the same experience. I always liked his music but at the same time I believed he was weird and guilty.. I was actually scared of him as a child.
It wasn’t until I started finding videos on him like stage fails and stuff that I felt sucked in. I knew about the allegation but only to a certain extent, I eventually started digging into those as well and it changed a lot of my views. I never realized how the media was so terrible to this man, but looking back it was nothing short of bullying.
There’s something so special about Michael.. it’s like despite him being in a way such a mystery he’s so easy to connect to you know? I’ve never felt so emotional towards a person I never met, but then when I started researching him it was so hard I cried every time he was mentioned because I felt so emotionally connected! It was like I could feel his pain and wanted nothing more than to help, but then you just have to accept that what’s done is what’s done and sadly we can’t see him.
As sad as him being gone truly is, I’m just relieved that he’s at peace and no longer has to witness the BS and go through the pain just because some people are too ignorant to actually judge him fairly.
@@N0EL-7007 yeeeeah! That's exactly what I feel. It really hurst to see all he went through, but at least and I hope he's now at peace, even though there are still some people accusing and judging him. But let me tell you, it's clear that they don't know a single thing about him, bcoz it's impossible to get to know Michael and still hate and accuse him!
Hi Seph, I think it's already been mentioned, but never mind. I highly recommend Michael's acceptance speech at the 1993 Grammy Awards, where he addresses all these aspects. And his sister Janet gives a remarkable laudatory speech for her big brother.
I LOVE YOUR MJ REACTIONS
There is a roller-coaster in WDW or WDL, not sure which has his picture at the end of the ride. With him in a car with children around him, with the biggest smile on his face.
What a pleasant surprise :D! Fantastic reaction, Seph! I loved it just as I loved how you reacted do Jam a bit earlier than expected. Best way to start the weekend! And yes, the song is about himself. Not only that, but the History album is biographical, so if you think "oh, this might be about him, his feelings or related to him in a way", it is! This mix of sadness and anger will be present in nearly every song and you're in for quite a ride! Thanks for all your hard work! You're awesome!
Welcome to the history era early lol. Your watching a 1995 video now. You could still watch the 1992 dangerous tour Bucharest show.
Just to finish the era off :)
Yep super early. Its just a teaser really as i will be going back to the Dangerous era as soon as i can.
And all his live performances i plan on doing after i've heard all his album songs and his life story.
@@SephPlays ok that’s great!
@@SephPlays love your videos. I love your funny acting and the reactions and your laugh. :)
Freakin love your comments too :D You seem super *real* to me, Not something you see too often!
This is yet another song that I have never heard before. I don't know where you keep pulling these gems from Seph.
We have come so far now, his haircut here is like in the video of 'You Are Not Alone', another of his huge hits.
I never believed any of the bad stuff in the news about Michael because you must always remember, people will do ANYTHING for money.
Hello. I really like your authentic surprise and how you are moved through his art and his personality.
If you can, maybe do a reaction to Little Susie. 😊❤💔
If the song wasn’t emotional enough your reaction made it 10x emotional🥲🥲. Thank you for such a 🔥🔥🔥🔥reaction.
Carissimo amico, è cio che è successo a tantissimi di noi, io personalmente nn ho mai creduto ai giornali li ho sempre bruciati, ma sono 5 anni che studio la sua vita, mi ha cambiata mi ha insegnato ad amare incondizionatamente. Un bacio a Michael.
Thank you for being kind to him. People can be harsh. Despite what they known you to be good. They want to think bad. That is all they see
They think negative about others because they themselves are negative. So that is why they could never understand Michael Jackson. I will always love my dad. Thank you for sharing this with us..
Seph I just want to say, that's so beautiful what you said at the end, it takes courage humility and honesty to admit what you thought and then you apologize, that's very admirable, I just wish people would open their minds and hearts and do the same or at leaet see both sides of the story and the facts to decide what they want to believe ❤ I definitely feel your anger trust me that's how felt for the longest, Seph I can see you are a lovely beautiful soul and it may sound weird but I've been watching you for a while and I've become so used to watching your videos and I consider you almost like a family member haha, I feel like we're all family, experiencing this amazing journey together 😊 there's ssomething special about you that other channels don't have, you are definitely the most fun, funny, sweet, genuine and honest "reactor" out there and congratulations for 14 thousand subscribers Seph!! We all love you ❤❤❤❤
Ive actually read this and replied twice haha not sure whats happening 😂
But I'll say it again:
Thank you ever so much for this Anaabella! Im honestly not worthy of your kind words!! Wow, you definitely made me smile and made me happy reading this!
And omg i so wish that other people would just gibe MJ the same chance i have "Im talking about all the haters out there" it doesn't take much to change ya know!? So many people out there that are so set in their ways 😔
Its soooo nice to have a genuine soul like yours here on this journey with me and i look forward to reading your comments on future videos ❤️
Thank you, Seph. You know, many people and societies condemn those who are childlike. Yet being childlike is an absolute prerequisite for being creative! I did my senior thesis on the psychology of creativity at college
Omg Seph I think this might be your most beautiful and emotional reaction to Michael so far! Thank you for understanding him ❤ this song and video is so heartfelt and sad especially the last part.....he is left behind because he isn't a child...as his time is past... so sad :( his most emotional song, in an interview he said this song was the most honest and autobiographical song he ever wrote, and that this was the song people should listen to if they really wanted to know him, the sadness in his eyes in this video kills me 😢 you are so right, people say neverland was weird but if they had gone through what he went through and had the money space and opportunity to create the world of their dreams I bet they would do the same thing, and great point you made, there are many people who have that childlike spirit and playfullness but they're not on the spotlight with millions of people watching their every move, and you're right he wasn't childish, he was very inteligent and a genius in his field which was music and a very good business man which was what he learned since he was a child, but they never gave him any time to be what he actually was, a child. He was just a beautiful soul with the heart of a child and unfortuntaly quite naive when it came to the kind of people that was around him, a little too nice, he always wanted to see the good in everybody, I wish I could protect him, his mother said the one thing she regretted was not having prepared her children for the world because the world is evil 😢😢
cant wait to see your reaction to the HIStory album (i can be called history or His Story) to me its the one album which shows you all of his love, sadness and anger, to me its the most biographiical album
Also never aplogoies for reactions to music , for me music that can cause an emotion is the best kind
I feel for Michael, his childhood was tragic, even his death was tragic.. Michael grew up too fast and had to be an adult and do adult things as a child, he never played, I feel like he felt like innocence and the innocence and beauty of childhood was taken from him so as he grew up he wanted to get that back, in the simple things, and children and animals gave him that, in fact he said that often, that he learned a lot from children, they are open and honest, no judgment, he wanted to be in that pure good energy, with no pressures from the adult world
Thank you for sharing 🙏 you are so sweet 😊loving Michael till last breath ❤🫶💘❤️🔥❤️
It's very true what you said Seph and also Michael liked fantasy magic, cartoons and Mickey Mouse, most adults his age are not into that anymore, kids loved the things he loved so who else he would enjoy these things with? That is why he could relate to them, but he invited families to Neverland as well, he did have adult friends as well but most of them betrayed him or used him in some way so he couldn't trust them, children didn't care about his celebrity, his fame or his money they just wanted to play and have fun, poor Michael I wish there wasn't so many backstabbers in his life.. he looks so cute with this hairstyle ❤
I wish there were more people like you who would do their research before judging this wonderful man and artist! Every time I try to educate a hater, I see these people putting up a wall of hate and ignorance. This is very frustrating...how can someone be so fact-resistant and stubborn!?🙏🏼❤👑🕊
Hey Seph, ❤ hope you're doing ok, yeah I love this one...very emotional ❤❤ and an autobiographical song...
Such a sad symbolism, that the children can fly to the adventure boats, and Michael has missed it, because he is an adult, but a child trapped in his body..❤
great reaction..
This just goes to show that sometimes, the media can purposely tear down an individual (s) and brainwash the public... not just Michael Jackson...its very sad. Once again, great reaction Seph.❤
Does this mean we've just opened HIStory Album 😮. Oh please, do a reaction to every song (second Part, obviously), you will not regret it!
Having said that, watch some of the live performances in the Dangerous era 😊
Its just a teaser really as i will be going back to the Dangerous era as soon as i can.
@@SephPlaysReally cool. Thank you! Ive just discovered your chanel and Im enjoying the videos very much. Great job Seph!
Based on your reaction to Childhood, I think you're gonna respond very strongly to the HIStory album.
❤ kudos to you, most people with common sense and the ability of critical thinking are able to realize how truly amazing MJ was as a person if they actually do basic research on him. Glad you're enjoying this somewhat bittersweet journey, his life story is heartbreaking but also a lot of fun😁
More MJ😻
Just a small thing you might want to consider Seph, might have to upload more/double MJ reactions during the upcoming year in preparation for the Michael movie, we are not sure if it will cover his entire journey yet but still wouldn’t want you getting exposed to things you haven’t watched yet via the movie
I hateeeeee spoilers!!! I'll see what i can do :D
What a surprise seph! 😊 what made you react to childhood of all songs from the history album? Anyway, i agree with you in all aspects. The funny thing is, other famous people would just get wasted, go to bars, doing drugs, etc as their happiness.. And its never going to be a headline in the news. But when it comes to Michael, the most famous person in the world would just rather go to amusement parks, zoos, toy stores and play as a kid, would make headlines out of it by calling him weird, psycho etc. Cause thats what sells.
I couldn't have said it better myself!
Thing is people are judging him for being childlike & twisting it to make it weird but there’s millions of adults who love video games, comic books, superheroes, animation & cartoons, disney, musicals, rollercoasters and theme park rides etc and do that stuff all the time & collect that stuff regularly and it’s seen as normal if a bit nerdy or perhaps girly (Disney), yet Michael does it and it’s a big issue. You can’t win. He got older and decided to indulge and unapologetically do all the things he missed out on, that he knows he enjoys you can’t really argue with that plus he was so famous it wasn’t really feasible to do so outside with the public on a regular basis so he just built his own park instead of having to shut down major attractions constantly with his presence.
Yeah, who doesn't love Messing about and feeling young with no responsibility, he was beaten pretty bad too, prob like a circus animal. Bullied, called names, his looks mocked and I heard he had to undress, have oil on him and be whipped by his father as they had to call him by his Christian name...
Wildly unexpected, but still enjoyable. Keep up the great reactions! Oh, and just so you know, you will see another side of MJ once you get to that album. Partially angry, tad bit of naughty words (not too much, but you will be surprised), political, etc. So I hope you prepare yourself, even though you aren’t quite there yet.
He created his world to help him cope with the pressures of growing up in the publuc, he told us all many times, but they just wouldn't let him be...it was seen as strange for a grown man to like the things he did, they turned it all around and attacked him with it. This man had a beautiful heart and he only wanted to do good and bring a smile to people. Great reaction 😉
Lloro cada vez que escucho ésta conmovedora canción que retrata la triste infancia de uno de los artistas más incomprendido del mundo.
you are a beautiful soul ❤
Oh! Oh! Why didn't this show up in my reccomendations, I've been waiting for this!
Michael said that, if people truly want to know him, this is the song they should listen to and it shows. I love it because it's beautiful but I so rarely dare to listen to it because of how sad it makes me.
On another note this song was recorded with a live orquestra! There is a video of him recording this song you should react to it, this song has such a disney feel, he does sound like an angel
"You give a kid a bunch of money what are they gonna do? Gonna go to Disney World every single day." (8:11) I like this insight.
Congratulations on reaching 14,000 subscribers, Seph!
Thankkk you Brad!! ❤️. I didn't notice until like an hour ago haha
Seph this is amazing video your reaction is just priceless ❤ its a little early to start history era because this song and this album after the allegations about him thats why you feel how much he is in pain continue with dangerous era to find out what happened to him and you still have dangerous concert live in Bucharest 1992 you must see that before getting into history era
Seph your honesty is refreshing x you’re are doing an excellent and genuine job your reactions are beautiful xxx
Seph just so you know, Michael did the HIStory album after the allegations hit. So every song in this album was written with this in his mind. It was somewhat his 'respond' to the allegations that destroyed his so deeply and his public image. I believe when the first allegations was made public, some news channel did a survey of the people, and about 70% of all the people they asked believed he did it. Without no proof, without nothing. That crashed him
I feel you man, unfortunately I also believed the things they said about him specifically about the allegations, especially after a certain "documentary" came out, I liked a few of his songs but didn't really know nothing about him, it just sounded convincing but then I watched a video on all the inconsistencies and lies and I decided to do my own research look up all the facts and form my own opinion and I'm glad I did, after everything I watched, court transcripts, documentaries about the cases and him in general, etc, I became more and more interested in knowing things about his life, I admire him a lot, it is horrible what they made this man go through, seems like the guy could never catch a break he suffered since he was a child and they always found something to criticize or mock him for, he suffered terrible injustice, meanwhile he gave 45 years out of his 50 years on this earth just to entertain the world and had a beautiful genuine good heart and all he wanted to do was help people and this is how the world repayed him, some of the rumors were ridiculous but to be accused of such horrible acts to children while being innocent and being portrayed as a monster and people believing it I just can not imagine that, it's the worst thing they could ever do, then when he died they started praising him again, and to think that some people still believe it to this day even though he was found not guilty by a jury on all 14 counts including 4 misdemeanors which they couldn't even get him on and refuse to do the research even though now it's all available they just will believe whatever they want to believe, it just makes me very mad, I hope he is finally at peace now, anyway sorry for the rant lol this was a great video!
Well said! Thank you. I like what Michael's older brother Marlon said at the memorial: "We would never ever understand what he endured. Not being able to walk across the street without a crowd gathering around him. Being judged, ridiculed, how much pain can one take? Maybe now Michael they will leave you alone."
He said in an interview that this is the most autobiographical song about him. He was so mistreated 😢
It's so very sad :(
Anybody who had his childhood will always be different.
Exactly and with all that some people use that, twist it…., for a couple of bucks…. 😕🤷🏻♀️
Hope that his biopic coming april 18th 2025 will help another generation (just like you, Seph) of young music lovers to help them know Michael Jackson's personality & musical catalog (all of it).
Michael deserves the respect of young consumers who hear their music on digital platforms.
❤️🔥❤️❤️🔥
You are so nice. Your reactions come from the heart, I love that. Maybe you could react to Michael's film "Ghost". You will totally freak out. Best wishes from Germany. ❤
