But you are all the future that I
need to hold you.
>> Okay. Sorry you guys. I can't stop
dancing. I can't stop dancing and
moving.
I'm out of breath. I think I might need
to go turn on a fan. I'm not going to
lie. But as you guys can tell, I am
seriously enjoying myself so much. Like,
wow. We are just a couple songs in and I
am dancing my booty off. Just such fun,
upbeat, really catchy music. I you can't
help but dance to it, honestly. Um, this
album already is so cool to me. Uh
that's that beginning song, Wann to Be
Start in Something, was awesome. I
really enjoyed that tune. I loved how
the bass and the guitar were kind of
talking back and forth to each other,
especially near the end there. And then,
yeah, it's an easy song to catch on to
and start singing along with, even on my
first listen through of it. So, that was
just it was just a treat to listen to
that. And now we're on to Baby Be Mine.
And yeah, his voice just sounds so fresh
in this song. H, I love it. Just, oh my
gosh, I just love his style so much. I
love the usage of the horns so far as
well. Um, yeah, man. So far so good. I'm
having a blast. All right, let's
continue.

Hello.
>> It doesn't say featuring anybody.

>> Well, I love you endlessly.
>> Is that Paul?
So come and go with me to one
but we both can never

>> Is that Paul McCartney? to tell you I'm
the one for her. Cuz she said I blow her
mind. The girl is mine.
>> Oh my god, I'm shook.
>> That threw me off so much.
>> She's mine. She's mine.
>> No, no, no. She's mine. The girl is
mine. The
>> girl is mine.
>> The girl is mine. The
>> girl is mine.
>> The girl is mine.
>> Mine. Mine.
>> If she's mine,
>> mine. The girl is mine.
>> She's mine.
>> Damn. He can hit that low note. Because
the dog on earth is mine.
One girl is mine.
>> Michael, we're not going to fight about
this. Okay.
>> Oh, I think I told you I'm a lover, not
a fighter.
I've heard it all before, Michael. She
told me that I'm her forever lover, you
know. Don't you remember?
>> Well, after loving me, she said she
couldn't love another.
>> Is that what she said?
>> Yeah, she said it. You keep dreaming.
>> I don't believe it.
>> I know the girl is mine.
She
>> Oh, I love Paul and their voices
together are like stunning.
I didn't think Michael Jackson ever like
featured anyone on his songs, honestly.
The Big Boy
Thriller's next. Oh, shoot.
Haven't heard this in a while. I'm not
going to lie.
Holy crap.
Oh boy. I can't imagine hearing this for
the first time for this album. on this
album changes things up really, really
drastically.
What a vibe change. Holy crap.
Oh,
dance with me now.
It's close to midnight.
Something evil's lurking in the dark.
>> Oh,
so good.
>> You try to scream,
but
you make it.
You start to freeze
as look you right between the eyes. your
paradise
cuz this is
night and no one's going to wow the
back.
Oh my gosh. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.
Let's go back 10 seconds. I'm just going
to pause it right here. This is
obviously a song I know. But it feels so
good listening to it with these
headphones on and just like taking in
this song in a way I've never taken it
in before. I've never listened to this
song with headphones on and just like
focused on the song. I always feel like
this like Thriller, the song Thriller
was used in so many different things and
I've always just listened to it in the
background of something or I don't know
on the stereo or whatever, but I've
never sat and intentionally listened to
it. And hearing all of these different
elements within the song is making it
feel so fresh and new. Like it feels
like a whole new experience right now.
It's so cool. Like just hearing the the
layers of the background vocals and
everything. Oh my gosh, it's so cool. Uh
I'm hearing instrumentation that I've
never recognized before. Uh yeah, just
different elements that you don't
usually hear uh when you're just
listening to the song in the car or
wherever. So yeah, that's really cool.
But also, was that Paul McCartney? Was
that Sir Paul McCartney singing with
Michael Jackson? I honestly thought
Michael Jackson never really did
features,
but that goes to show you how much I
really know about him. I'm not that
privy to his music and catalog, but um
I'm learning, which is the whole point
of this channel is just to learn and
listen to songs I've never heard before
and also get to know these artists
better. Uh and Michael Jackson, even
though he's such a huge name in music
history and just music in general,
there's still so much I don't know about
him. and him and Paul McCartney making a
song together was not on my bingo card,
especially for for this uh for this
album. But it's really cool. And I also
just have to say the the vibe shift
between like the three songs we just
heard at the beginning of the album to
Thriller is pretty crazy. Like I did not
expect Thriller to show up right here.
But I don't know, maybe Thriller is
just, you know, the vibe change we need
for the rest of the album. We'll see.
Let's continue.
The thrill of the night.
You hear the door slam. Realize there's
nowhere left to run.
You feel the go
and wonder if you ever see the sun. You
close your eyes
and hope that this is just imagination.
But otherwise,
you hear a creature creeping up behind.
You're out of time. I can feel the
feeling.
There ain't no
eyes. world.
You're fighting for your life inside
the dance to walk in the masquerade.
>> I honestly don't remember that part of
the song of the alien inside.
Oh,
they're about to get you as demons. I am
on every side
possess you unless you change that
number.
And now is the time
for you and I cut blow together.
Yeah.
All through the night.
I'll save you from the terror on the
screen. I'll make you see that.
>> This beat is so addicting.
>> I wonder if this is his most popular
song.
There's so many
hold and share together.
>> I mean, it's just like a Halloween
staple.
>> Darkness falls across the land.
The midnight hour is close at hand.
Creatures crawl in search of blood to
terrorize your neighborhood.
And whosoever shall be found.
>> Who's ready for Halloween
must stand and place the hounds of hell
and rot inside a corpse's shell. I'm
going to bring it to
Heat. Heat. N.
So good. The spooky organless
dentures in the air. The funk of 40,000
years and grizzly goons from every tomb
are closing in to seal your door.
Though you fight to stay alive, your
body starts to shiver.
For no mortal can resist
the
spooky season is upon us.
All right, what's next?
Let's see what's next.
Beat it.
Okay,
let's go.
Yes. Oh. Huh. Yeah. M m.
Oh my god, it's so good.
Oh my god,
this guitar.
>> They told him, "Don't you ever come
around here. Don't want to see your
face. You better disappear." The fire's
in their eyes and their words are really
clear. So beat it. Just beat it.
You better run. You better do what you
want to see. Don't be a man. You want to
beat better do what you can't. So beat
it. But you want to be just
wow.
It doesn't matter who woke up right
just
to get you better leave while you can.
Don't want to be a boy. You want to be a
man. You want to stay alive. Better do
what you can. So feel it. Just feel it.
Have to show them really not scared.
You're playing with your life. This
ain't no truth or dare. They'll kick
you. If they beat you, they'll tell you
it's fair.
feeling. But you want to be just
feeling
God, this album is so fun.
It's so good.
>> This the guitar is so good.
Yes. Guitar solo.
Wow.
He had everything in this album.
All right, let's pause right before we
go into the next song. Wow. Okay.
Thriller into Beat It was also not on my
bingo card. I did not, you know, see the
order of the songs in this album, but
this is just so awesome. I'm having the
time of my life. I can only imagine just
experiencing this full album back when
it first came out. Holy cow. Just would
probably have this on repeat and listen
to it over and over and over again. I
mean, it's just banger after banger
after banger so far. it. There's no
misses, there's no skips. Every single
song is just so good. And I love how we
we started off with like love songs and
then we went into Thriller, which has,
you know, the iconic spooky vibe, the
anthem of Halloween, and now we're in
Beat It, which has elements of rock in
it with the guitar. We got a guitar
solo, and uh the guitar riff is so
iconic, but it's just a very badass like
motivational song, honestly. Uh, so to
go from where we started to where we are
now, it's such an interesting journey
and I'm so excited to see where it goes
from here. It's just a lot of fun. All
right, let's continue.
Heat. Heat.
Heat. Heat.
Oh no.
>> It's so good.
>> Excited to see what's next.
>> Song is so good. Every single song is
amazing so far.
I'm sweating. I need a shower after this
cuz I'm just dancing so much. All right.
What's next? Billy Jean. Oh my god.
Okay. All right. Time to dance some
more.
Yes.
I watched a live performance of this
on this channel. It was really good.
She was more like beauty queen from a
movie scene. I said don't mind
the
dance.
>> That bass hits deep.
She told me her name was Billy Keen as
she crossed the scene. Then heavy hair
turn
around.
>> Oh my gosh.
>> And always be careful who you love. Be
careful with
the love you
feel
like my love.
>> Oh my god.
Okay,
>> I know I keep saying oh my god and I'm
sorry for another pause so shortly after
the other pause but I just have to say
you guys I implore you to listen to
these songs with headphones. It really
is a different experience. like you hear
so many different things that you have
never caught before. And I feel like
it's truly like an injustice to some of
these songs if you don't like just have
headphones that are able to like capture
everything. It's amazing the different
layers and elements. I'm hearing so many
things I've never heard before. It makes
a song feel so fresh and so different
and feels new. It's crazy. All right.
Sorry. Let's continue.
I love his voice.
>> This bass is killing me. Remember to
always think twice.
>> Don't think twice. Don't think twice.
She told my baby we dance to three. And
she looked at me then showed a photo
with baby cry eyes would like mine. Do a
dance floor.
People always be careful what you do.
Don't go around breaking young girls.
I must stay right by me because I smell
a sweet perfume. I guess
she
my daughter she just
I
go.
>> How did he think of all these songs?
She a girl that I am the one
but the kids are not my son.
She says I am the one
but the
I don't remember this part.
Oh,
what
you
can't my son.
She my
she just a girl that I am the one
baby.
I didn't realize how much guitar he used
in his songs.
>> Guitar in deep bass.
>> Every song is so good. The
instrumentation, oo, the layering of the
vocals, the harmonies. Oh.
It's taking me to heaven. What's next?
Human nature.
>> I don't think I've heard this.
>> Look out
across the night.
>> I don't think I've heard this.
Sweets the news
size.
Get me out
into the night
for walls
tonight.
>> Nice slower song for the end of the
album.
And let me take a bite.
If they say why
this part
sounds familiar
reaching out,
>> reaching touch
electric eyes are everywhere.
See if that girl,
she knows I'm watching.
She likes the way I
say.
>> This is so lovely.
>> I'm so hot from dancing. Why does he do
me that way? I like living this way.
I'd like this way.
>> This is a beautiful song.
>> Love this synth.
looking out
across the moon.
>> I love how breathy his voice is.
>> Heart begins to beat,
reaching out.
I touch my shoulder.
I'm dreaming of the street.
If they say, "Why? Why?"
Tell him that is human nature. Why? Why
does he do it that way?
>> I love the guitar in this.
Nothing.
Why
nothing that
do it way
just
do it that
This is such a lovely change up.
So beautiful.
That was such a gorgeous track to put
into this album. So different than
anything else.
>> You made me feel so good inside.
>> Okay, Michael.
>> Always wanted a girl just like you.
>> Pretty young thing.
>> Pretty young Thing.
>> Where did you come from?
>> Haven't heard this.
Baby, tender. You got to be sparkling.
Your sugar fly with me. Don't you know
now is the perfect time. We can make it
right through the city.
Let me take it to the max.
Okay, I've heard this.
>> This is the only part of the song I've
heard.
>> Wow.
>> Okay.
Nothing can stop this burning desire to
be with you. Got to get
you.
>> All right, I'll try to make this my last
pause of this album. So, yeah, the
chorus sounds familiar to me. Um, that's
the only part of the song that sounds
familiar to me. I don't know where I've
heard it before. I want to say maybe
like social media or something. But
regardless, it's good to actually hear
this song and know the name of the song
that I've known the chorus to for a long
time now. So, yeah, this is such a
groovy tune, man. And I have to say,
Human Nature was really gorgeous. The
why why that that's the only part I
really knew. Um, it sounded familiar
kind of from the beginning, but again,
have never sat down and intentionally
listened to it. This album is
incredible. just again banger after
banger after banger and human nature was
a completely different song and
completely different tune than the other
songs that we've listened to so far just
like how Thriller was. I don't know.
It's just it's just so amazing how many
wonderful songs Michael Jackson was able
to create. And this is only one of his
albums. It's just one. I mean, dang. I'm
just so floored by this. I'm having a
blast. I feel like I don't know. Time is
flying by when I'm listening to this
album. So, let's finish the album.
>> Cool. Fire year honey. Come set me free.
Don't you know now is the perfect time.
We can dim the lights just to make it
right in the night in the love.
I give you all that I've got. I want to
love you like a pretty young thing.
You're some
love and I take you there.
Yes, I will. Yes, I want to love you.
Young

Hello.
Repeat your face. Repeat after me. Say

Oh, take it there. Take it there. I want
to love you.
And
>> this is a jam.
>> And I'll take it there. Take it there.
I'll be

>> and I could
NJ. So NJ MJ sings so many love songs to
me.
No wonder why girls were screaming for
him. No wonder why girls were fainting
at the sight of them. They were truly in
love with him. I mean, I'm falling in
love with him. Damn. I'm not going to
lie.
Especially when he's looking at me like
this for 40 minutes.
Mhm.
What's this? The lady in my life,
which is who?
Don't know this one. At least I don't
think I know. I don't think I do.
>> Ooh, so beautiful. Trust in my heart
and meet me in paradise.
Now is the time. Girl, you're every
wonder in this world to me.
A treasure time won't steal away.
So I do my heart. Lay your body close to
mine. Hold me fill you with my dreams. I
can make you feel all right.
And baby, through the years going to
love your mom's day. So I promise you
tonight that you will always be the lady
in my life.
Feel like a lot of slower MJ songs are
not as well known.
>> Won't forget.
But girl, I need your sweet.
So I reach out to a fantasy.
I do watch in the beat of ecasy.
Come to me,
girl.
And I will keep you warm through the
shadows of the night.
Let me touch you in my love. I can make
you feel so right.
And baby through the years, even when
we're wrong, gray, I will love you more
day. Cuz you will always be the lady in
my life.
I love his uses of guitar and bass so
much.
Don't go nowhere.
Let me give you one lady.
Oh,
>> he's such a lover boy.
>> I want to touch you, baby.
You're my lady and I love you, girl. I
love you, too.
>> Oh, God.
>> I love you. I love you. I need you. I
want you, baby.
Stay with me.
Don't go nowhere.
Yeah,
>> it's easy to start smitting with him.
I'm not going to lie. It really is.
>> I'm your lady.
Cowbell again.
>> Let me
all over all over all over
me.
>> Let me touch you girl.
Back with me.
All over. All over. All over. I love
her. I love her. I love her. I love her,
baby.
>> Oh my gosh.
>> All right. I think that is the end. Is
it not? I think so.
Does the end.
That went by so fast.
I want to listen to it again.
Wow. Is it hot in here or is it just me?
I mean, you guys, I get it. I get it. I
get it. I mean, Michael Jackson just
takes it to another level. I
I don't know. I thought it was just a
total treat to listen to this full
album. Um, it is a whole another
experience and even though you may think
you've heard all these songs a hundred
times, you really truly haven't until
you've sat down and listened to them
intentionally. It truly gives a whole
another experience and a whole another
perspective to these songs. even someone
like me, it just adds a whole another
level of respect to his craft. And I
don't know, being able to hear all the
intricacies and details that go into his
songs. It's it's crazy. It it it's
fantastic to listen to. And I had such a
blast doing it. I was dancing. I was
swooning. I was vibing out. I was having
I was having a blast listening to this
album. And every song is so good. Oh,
wow. Every single song is a banger.
Every single song is so fun to listen to
or just really beautiful to listen to.
The Lady in My Life I thought was just a
great song to just mellow out the album
and, you know, end it on that note
because the album is quite high energy
the whole time. And you got Thriller on
this album. You got Billy Jean. You got
Beat It. And then uh we start with Wann
to Be Starting Something. And that just
got me going. Baby Be Mine got me going.
And The Girl is Mine also got me going.
But the problem with The Girl is Mine is
that I was trying to figure out who was
singing along with Michael Jackson and I
believe it was Paul McCartney who I love
very much. Um, but I'm surprised he
wasn't like credited on the song or at
least not on the video I was listening
to for this reaction, which was
interesting to me. I just did not know
that the album, the order of the album
went thriller, beat it, and then Billy
Jean,
like, excuse me, just hit after hit
after hit. Crazy. Like, truly, oh my
gosh. Like, what? Wild. I I nearly
fainted seeing uh Beat It Come on and
then Billy Jean right after it. I was
like, "Holy crap." Oh, wow. Okay, so
this album is very, very special. Just
it has everything you could possibly
want in it. It has the slower melodic
kind of ballady songs, and then on the
other hand, you got songs that you just
completely just want to dance to and and
go all out to. I don't know. I I don't
think I've ever gotten so like hot and
kind of sweaty during an album reaction
because I'm just dancing. I can't stop I
can't stop moving. Michael Jackson was
just so good at making a catchy beat
that made you want to move and yeah,
addicting to listen to. So good. So fun.
Michael Jackson just truly has some
timeless music. I mean, this this album
came out in the 80s, I think the
early8s.
Um, it's well over 40 years old, I
believe. You guys can let me know down
in the comments. Um, but it just
sounds so timeless. It still sounds so
fresh and very creative and innovative
and unique like no one will ever be able
to touch Michael Jackson. I mean his
style, his voice, the creativity in the
music, the layers and and just the
innovation when it comes to his music,
the iconic sound that he has, no one
will be able to touch. And then that's
just his music. You add on the dancing
and the short films and all the other
things that he's known for, it's
incredible. He was truly a marvel. Oh my
god. Like, it just is such a treat to
listen to. I don't know, man. I I think
with every experience I have with
Michael Jackson on this channel, I just
grow to love him even more, appreciate
him even more, um respect him even more.
I mean, it's so easy to fall in love
with the guy. It's so easy to fall in
love with his music. Um I I've seen a
lot of different sides of Michael
Jackson just through this channel. I've
watched some of his short films, you
know, I just watched Bad uh the short
film of that on this channel. My first
time reaction to that. I've watched a
couple of his live performances. I
watched him with the Jackson 5 and now
I've listened to a full album and I'm
just in love. Like, I really am in love.
It's just crazy. Even though he's such
an icon and a legend and we've all heard
his name, I just don't get sick of him.
He just still is so unique, so fresh,
and no one can touch a rock star like
him, a pop star like him, a sensation
like him.
Man, better late than never to get into
his music, right? Um, I wish I learned
more about him earlier in my life,
especially when he was alive. Granted, I
was still, you know, a child when he was
alive, but um I just love this journey
of getting to know him as an artist, as
a person, his music, his short films,
and all of that. I just have so much
admiration for him, and it just keeps
growing and growing and growing, and I
just want to keep listening to his
stuff. He's so great. I enjoyed this
album so much. I think I'm going to go
take a shower and drink a lot of water
cuz I just, you know, was dancing the
whole time. And I'm pretty sweaty now.
But regardless, you just know it's a
damn good album when you can't stop
moving and you want to listen to it
again. Oh my gosh, this was fantastic.

Stacy, a music reactor, experiences Michael Jackson's iconic album 'Thriller' for the first time. Throughout the video, she is visibly moved by the music, dancing enthusiastically, and expressing her awe at the production quality, instrumentation, and the seamless transition between upbeat pop tracks, rock-infused songs, and beautiful ballads. She is particularly impressed by the depth and layering of the music, which she notes is best experienced with headphones, and shares her genuine surprise and delight at discovering guest collaborations like Paul McCartney on 'The Girl is Mine'.
