Has anyone noticed the rare verse at 2:16 - 2:24 “ Every time I tried to find him he’s leaving no clues left behind him. And he has no way of knowing of the suspect or what to expect “
The best version of Michael Jackson. Even though I wasn't around in 1987, to me, I think this is the song that truly defined Michael Jackson, Smooth Criminal.
YES that part is absolutely it right there. It just makes the song flow better. Somehow this song better longer, with those cinematic extended instrumental parts
I was 16 in 1988 when this came out, and although I've had this song on every playlist of every device I've ever owned, this version is, in my opinion, the very best of them all.
I was born 84. Think it was very early 90's by the time I first heard this. Been a huge fan ever since. I used to watch the film all the time when I was a kid, drove my mum & dad dotty with it. I'm about to turn 40 in July. Where does the time go at all.
This song will always go down as one of the greatest classics of all time. Even if I have no idea what a bunch of the lyrics actually are. What the hell is a "shin-dome?"
ᵗʰᵉNight★Star It is an amazing song! I think your talking about the line ‘a crescendo’ which basically means loud noise. I know what you mean tho I have to look up the lyrics half the time because MJ has such a pronounced way of saying words 😂
Back in 1988, I was a kid, I did not have the money to buy the CD and the vinyl. In the Philippines, the trend was the cassette tape! So, I rushed to the nearest record store in our area and bought the tape, says BASF on the upper portion. Years later, when I had a job, I bought the CD and the vinyl itself, which I still kept in my collection of CD's and records. I love MJ!
I always loved the ending of the original song, so to see that they extended that killer segment quite a bit in this version made me move my feet I really love this
I loved this version! Smooth Criminal is the best song ever. I still dance to this in dedication to Michael Jackson. He was the man that got me into music and how to dance to it.
Ferrarist Probably because it was too long. His label felt his songs went on for too long & wouldn’t fit on the records. To compensate, they basically butchered the final versions of his music in order to get them out to us. I think it was fucked up they did this, but at least we have the power now to enjoy the music as Michael originally intended it to be.
I use to have an “extended version” very similar to this (all the unused versus and additional instrumental parts) a lonnnnggggg time ago on Napster (only the OG’s know about that) & then on my first Android phone when u could download ANY song to your phone for free. I cannot find this version anywhere but here so PLEASE never delete ❤
I’ve always liked this version better than the one on the album. This one is slower and sounds fuller. Drums sound different and there’s extra arrangements like the tomtom drums in the beginning. Plus the full second verse.
The saddest thing is that his music went quickly out of fashion. He simply was a product of the 80s and somehow late 70s craze. Don't get me wrong l grew up with the guy...buy wish his music was somehow was rediscovered and rejuvenated through other artists after his death. I mean l don't mean to insinuate his music died with him, he influenced choreographed music to the max..
So they came into the outway It was Sunday What a black day Every time I tried to find him He's leaving no clues Left behind him And he had no way of knowing Of the suspect Or what to expect Mouth to mouth resuscitation Sounding heartbeats Intimidations
Metrica impeccabile ed omaggi che evocano una nostalgia che solo tu sei in grado di riesumare. Un altro regalo fatto con il cuore e che con il cuore accetto. L'Olimpo degli artisti è cosa tua. Continua così!
To the Time of the CD it would really possible to do the Album Moonwalker with all Songs of Bad and this in the original size. His Record Company did him wrong, the same thing with Billie Jean but i am glad that there is the long intro that Michael always wanted and not the short version....
I've been looking for a mix like this for years. Thank you! Now I just want to find the instrumental version that was on one of the UK vinyls of the single...
d s first of all, thank you! :)) unfortunately I am on holiday at the moment so am unable to create a link! Have you tried youtube to mp3 on google that should do the trick ;)
Thanks for getting back to me! I've tried youtube to mp3 but the quality is only a 192kbps mp3. A download link should be a higher quality depending on the source
And the sad part is some of Justin Bieber's Bielieber fans will still say, "that Justin Bieber is the modern "King of Pop", based on streaming and other reasons". As If MJ's throne was even meant to be passed on the minute He touched the crown. Justin Bieber is good but can never ever be compared to MJ, because when it comes to everything concerning Music Michael is light years ahead of Justin.
sweet im so glad u did this, awesome job!! i always had to use vdub to edit the videos myself, cuz i always preferred the video versions, and i never did it as good lol, thanks, now i just gotta see if someone did this to thriller! edit: u did it to thriller, awesome! yes, and speed demon too! thanks. i didnt see remember the time. maybe u should do that one next ;)
Actually this is STILL edited down where it doesn't have the slow music and moaning and groaning! 😅 We need this AND that version as well too by the way!
This is better than the one on the album
way better
@@Bebornagain12345 bad is shorter this is longer
This has different mixing sounds better

Yeah that was in the music video
Yeah but is included in any álbum?
Really?
@@j22l11 sadly no it was cut off for time
we know.......that is why everyone is here
4:39 best part
compton Aviation baseball the lean :D
Something we can agree on

I've been looking for this version for years and finally found it, you are a hero without a cape
Same I was looking for it
What makes you think they don't have a cape?
Same bro best ver
@@MKDumas1981 Like the saying goes, not all heroes wear capes.
No capes!
The damn 80s synthsound...made this version magical..
Quincey Jones a genius

1:23 thats why i love this version
YES that part is absolutely it right there. It just makes the song flow better. Somehow this song better longer, with those cinematic extended instrumental parts
4:40 the best part for me
@@kyolopez85u bet brother.. l was blown away when l saw this bit ...the synth is magical
@@kyolopez85 because that’s when Michael
Jackson did the anti gravity lean.
4:41 And then I became his biggest fan forever!
You bet...absolutely spot on
Idk why but this just sounds even better and I had no idea that was even remotely possible
The snare and bass are mastered to be a lot cleaner, which just intensifies the rhythm imo.
I was 16 in 1988 when this came out, and although I've had this song on every playlist of every device I've ever owned, this version is, in my opinion, the very best of them all.
Same for me with everything you just said.

A crescendo a high pitched sound
It's "crescendo" with MJ's Accent when singing
Crescendo 🤣

I absolutely love MOONWALKER version 😍😍😍😍😍

“I taught him everything he knows.”
Minister ZazBog oh yeah right you show me
Eric Johnson ok sure, hold this...
Minister ZazBog kid starts dancing
@@ericjohnson5462 the kid who said that was actually Sean Lennon.
4:00 is the best part(the whole thing is beyond god tier)
same here.
C-Nation YAS QUEEN
4:24 the bass solo ( if you want test your HIFI speakers) 🔊
Complete ear orgasm ❤
Dx7 fm bass
I was watching the video, and was honestly taken aback by the unused verse.. I guess I just never noticed it before...
Dylan McIntyre I guess it’s just such a small part of the song you never notice it straight away! Still really cool though :)
Great edit. I don't understand why Jackson or his heirs never released an audio version of the Moonwalker version of Smooth Criminal.
Ferrarist I never understood it either! In fact MJ had a lot of of extended versions of songs that were never officially released!
King_of_Pop-Mixes Yeah and this Smooth Criminal version is like one of the best songs ever
Ferrarist I know because I love the long version of this song
Sonic Forces The Hedgehog We can only hope it comes true! 🤞

I love this picture used. Look at the eyeliner it’s so Smokey
🤣
You're real for this imao
It is quite… criminal that they don’t have this version of the song on iTunes!
Not all heroes wear capes... 👑👑👑
4:58 best Part 😍😍😍
What a singer Mr. Michael Jackson
I love when he scream Hoo paww.
I don't think "hoo paww" is in the song. 🤣
4:04 goes *INSANELY* hard
This has become the Definitive version of “Smooth Criminal” for me. I can never un hear this masterpiece
It beautiful.
MJ would be very happy.
Was an amazing excellent.
There is no man
greater than him
and there will not be.
It cannot be forgotten.

I always wondered why that great verse at 2:12 was never in the album version :(
The absolutely best version of this song.

Best mix i've heard of this MJ Classic
love this version
MY GOSH! THAT BASS IS BANGIN'!!!
Definitely The Best Version. Absolute Banger! All the transitions are very smooth and catchy well done!
4:03 The best part
This is my favorite song ever I love it so so so much 💞👑✌️R.I.P Michael Jackson 1958-FOREVER
Those eyes❤️
I could listen to that end chorus for hours

You gotta throw this on and get your dance moves on during this track.
The BEST Version of This Song!!! RIP MJ!! THE KING 👑 OF POP!!!!
This is one my favorite songs from him
This is badass
Would have been nice to get this version on Bad 25
I love this song

La mejor versión de smooth criminal

04:24-04:57 the best part
Najlepsza część
In this video, Michael looks like he has dark blue eyes. I just noticed when I clicked on this video
I just danced to this song wearing a Spider-Man jacket and white fedora
The Vintage Kid good for you my friend ;))
The Vintage Kid I used to dance to this song as a kid. I knew all the moves and it was so much fun
TREVORVADER sounds like we had a similar childhood 😂👌
King_of_Pop-Mixes awesome dude
kingofpop
Fav part 3:40-3:55
I love Michael Jackson songs
I absolutely hate the siren and "Okay I'd like everybody to clear the area right now" in the original, so glad it's nowhere to be heard in this mix
Me, too.
Each to their own. It goes with the theme as it's 1930's gangster hence (smooth criminal)
Btw this is meant to be the moonwalker version so that's why there's none of that lol
Well to be clear this is the moonwalker version so that's why you don't get that lol
TH-cam IS SO GOOD
So they came into the outway
It was Sunday
What a black day
Every time I tried to find him
He's leaving no clues
Left behind him
And he had no way of knowing
Of the suspect
Or what to expect
Mouth to mouth resuscitation
Sounding heartbeats
Intimidations
THE BEST VERSION!!! 😍🙌🏼 THANK YOU for uploading this version. ❤️🖤💚
I love you Michael Jackson ❤❤❤❤❤🥰😘🥰😘🥰😘
Anybody here have a link of this song with 320kbps or maybe flac quality?
estuve buscando por mucho tiempo esta versión :'3

Gracias uwu
Exactamente esa fue mi situación también pero ahora la encontramos :D
No fuiste la única :')
Esa parte le da una mística distinta al tema
This is in the album version bruh, in the first verse.
0:00- 7:30 favourite part 😂❤
Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson together was dangerously good
Not really!!!

An absolute Champ!

Now I just want to find the instrumental version that was on one of the UK vinyls of the single...
I always like this mix better. I wonder if it was too long for the record?
Nop, the song was edited for the movie to be longer (as the clip is).
3:56 Man i love this part so much better without the cops and siren sounds
This is the best mix I've heard! Any chance for a download link? Would love to throw into a set
d s first of all, thank you! :)) unfortunately I am on holiday at the moment so am unable to create a link! Have you tried youtube to mp3 on google that should do the trick ;)

As far as I can say, no one's managed to usurp MJ's throne. The man was truly one of a kind, for this age.

This is so good, I can't stop listening
This is more like the music video version isn't it
That's what the title and description says. Yes!!!
