Michael Jackson Making of Thriller pt.1

[MONEYSUMPAWFUL]

Michael Joseph Jackson: Forever sexy

[MONEYSUMPAWFUL]

Who wouldn't go crazy over Michael he's like the best entertainer well, ever. That lady was right when she said he was the sexiest man she ever met. I can say the same except he's the sexiest man I'll ever meet.

[mitrooper]

"i don't believe that there will ever ever ever be another artist that accomplished as much as michael."

Definitely not now...Look at what kids are listening today...Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber...............yeah, I know.

[MrMichaelJoeJackson1]

iJermaine Jackson the second? (in 6:02)

[909TOSHIBA]

ii juss lovee myy sexii daddy mikee!! hes suppr delisiouse an all mine!!

-tymiia

[60microphonemajesty]

the look on his face at 8:15 was like "No one can touch me now.Im invincible now what." There was a tiger that just unleashed in him to prove everyone wrong bc he had so many doubts about thrillers success.and b4 that album he humble but very worried about where his career was going but once thriller took off he knew, he knew he was getting ready to OWN the world.

[isabellamjjd]

thriller was the best thing EVER made, in history, no one will ever beat it

[caitlinjane92]

Happy Halloween, Mike!! We love you SO MUCH! You will FOREVER be the King of Pop, Rock, and Soul!

[comali2212]

Beat it.... Epic

Best video ever made in the history of music videos.

[mysticdarkrai135]

@comali2212 i think smooth criminal was better though, becuase of the lean

[ABCHealTheWorld]

OMgosh .. I've got goosebumps from the top of my head to the tips of my toes and I'm only 50 seconds into this !! LOL. I've never seen this !! I've heard this video .. The Making of Thriller .. may be made available again .. on dvd of course. Anyone heard?

[MissAshanti24]

is that Michael's Who's Laughing At 6:42??

[sprintbass]

its sad that im old enough to recall when all this was going on...in 82 i was 9 and MJ was on top of the world....i became a bass player in part becase of his off the wall album, he used bassist louis johnson from brothers johnson and was sold..i took orchestra and here i am 25 years later...im glad i can look back on this and smile..i wish he was still with us, but in good health and state of being..it was hard to see him sink like he did and i hope he is in a happier place..

RIP

D

[TheMidnightskies]

Dern straight he's the best!

[Tand0oriCh1cken]

Wow it must have suck to have been MJ ppl wont shut up and leave u alone.

[nonplayerzealot4]

Landis approved of a remake of An American Werewolf In London, will probably come out on the 30th anniv of the original (1981). Hope it's not some CGI garbage. They need to do an old-style make up FX remake of that. Anything short of that will be sacrilege.

[Shannifer]

MICHAEL JACKSON IS THE BEST!!!

[jordanjones15]

Refering to the michael and beatles issue, the beatles might have been the greatest band of all time, but michael single-handedly is the greatest artist of all time

[imperialpod]

@jordanjones15

Wrong...NO ONE is 'single-handedly' anything.

It takes many coaches, engineers,producers AND cash to make a Michael Jackson or a Beatles.

[princesskagome23]

i used to have this whole special on tape...i'd watch it EVERYDAY!!!!

[GuysTheOther]

@princesskagome23 ME TOO!

[buzzialdrin]

I like this hollow sound lol...for some reason

[xosmvxo912]

i was watching vh1 100 greatest artists of all time last night and I COULDN'T BELIEVE MICHAEL WAS NUMBER 2!!!!!!!!!! apparently people thought the beatles were better than him. no offense to beatles fans,they were good but they couldn't TOUCH michael jackson.

<33 mj

[ta4life27]

@xosmvxo912 i adgree

[ChrisBrownsGirl17]

@xosmvxo912 The only reason MJ was #2 on there is because thats a white channel. thats what I think.

[mike2009ization]

@ChrisBrownsGirl17 yeah i agree he should had been #1

[mrLimaloui]

@ChrisBrownsGirl17 Yea, and the fact that it catered to a rock and roll audience. If you look, most of the artist on there were rock and roll groups. And how could they place Justin Timberlake before Tupac Shakur? That doesn't even make since.

[ChrisBrownsGirl17]

@mrLimaloui Your right. Justin above tupac? HAHA! Thats stupid. eminem was #79 that don't make any sense!

[liacashmere58]

@ChrisBrownsGirl17 Yes the beatles are very overrated! I'm sick of them always being number one on every god damn music list. Why not MJ, Prince, or Stevie Wonder?

[ChrisBrownsGirl17]

@liacashmere58 Yeah Michael is the greatest entertainer ever. know one will ever accomplish the things he did.

[italianman1992]

@liacashmere58 how can you say that about the Beatles? They made a HUGE impact on the 60s and rock n' roll. Yes MJ Stevie Wonder and Prince are great but still . . . they are number one on every list because they are GREAT.

[liacashmere58]

@italianman1992 Yes they were great but there number one because it's the ''in'' thing to say. Like when people say Elvis is the greatest of all times. Really??? The media has brain washed alot of people. I don't know anybody who listens to the beatles that often but everyone I know listens to Prince, Stevie, and MJ but I'm black so that may play a part in it

[MissPYT95]

@xosmvxo912 IKR!!!

Well maybe they thought the beatles were better......

[mrLimaloui]

It's weird. It almost seems like Michael was my family because I swear, I don't like looking at none of his old recordings or videos because it hurts so bad. As soon as I turn it on, I turn it off. I really don't want to see it. And I hate when people do tributes to him. I wish he were still living.

[leesiluvzmjj2009]

@mrLimaloui That's exactly how I feel.

[MrsMJLoveAlways]

lol John Landis is such a funny guy... I'm glad MJ chose him to work with

[laurikim]

quel génie ce Michael

[ibringthefireexo]

OMFGG! HAHAHAHAHA 2:22, that lady is a genious! LMFAO! xD <3

[Ch1ris23]

soft voice

[mjlover910]

I watch this like twice a day :D

[iamjosefin]

hahahaha he called me 2 in the morning XD<3

[JacksonLoverMJ]

This Is Awesome

[JAZZSTARish]

classic..great memories..thanx for the post.

[blackjet21]

Hey is that Borat on 2:19?

[camisa2009]

what the girl whos a fan say in 9:50 did she say" hes not that singing good"

[qweds34mj]

Michael IS my life.

Some ppl say: "MJ isn't that good" and stuff but HEY!

HE IS THE BEST!!! ♥

I'm in a BIG depression and his music, HIM, make me wanna stay breathing. I don't know what I would be without him.

I love you!! ♥

[CassidyRaciappa]

"Kentucky fried movie." XD

[nath909]

"its evil, pure and simple evil". Who remembers that programme on Bravo. Erotica/sci-fi crap.

[yoshi2612]

making of the greatest album of all time, but i was really surprised when they said "bopb giraldi directed beat it and beat it is geneualy good..." good? man they were really though on their selves.

[Darslow]

Michael's hot! Damn, he was so good looking, especially during the thriller and bad era's.

[KeepTrue56]

@Darslow omq i sooo AGREE! THE THRILLER & BAD ERAS HE WAS BEYOND GOODLOOKING! & OFF THE WALL ERA TO, but especialy THRILLER!

[kelseyhm]

aw this is adorable :) i wouldve freakin ran there if i had been alive and stuff lol :D

[OctoberMuffinxMJx3]

since the quality of this video isnt the best, his beat it jacket looks hot pink xD

[whippedcream100]

i don't believe that there will ever ever ever be another artist that accomplished as much as michael. he was an inspiration and a talent beyond comparison. sure, many more talented artists will come along but none close to as unique as michael. he is just too good! in my opinion, there are good, bad, and great artists, and then michael reigns above them all

[SholaMind21]

I swear man if I was a singer durin the 80's I woulda told my manager to HOOK ME UP with him!

I hate how these girls let him sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide

He is frickin sexy!!!

jheeez

[psicomgroup]

I was 4-6 when I first saw this and i was terrified aswell. I cried and ran to my room whenever my parents were watching this. I also remember crying and trying to get the scary parts out of my head.

[sketchley80]

4:46 - admitting he hasn't seen most of John Landis' films - hahaha! Then Landis is like - what is the song Thriler? hahaha

"Little Michael of the Jackson 5?" - lol

Hearing l'il Mikey in 1969 singing Who's loving you - brings tears of joy and sadness to my eyes - that performance is beyond this world...

[lacyt36]

@2:53 that little girl is horrible!!!lol!! just horrible!!

[asadzayat]

♥ Michael Jackson 4ever! best singer everr

[selemawit14]

She said he's the greatest dancer & the sexies man. I agree 100% ! :]

[Hi8380]

That is me at 1:25 I have never seen this and cannot believe it is on yotube.

What a night that was:)

[masterofillusion1]

@Hi8380 wow! was that really you? I wish i was there to see the greatest entertainer in history.

[Hi8380]

@masterofillusion1 Yes it was an incredible night. I will never forget it.

I was born a long long time ago. But still, I love it and still I love him!

Michael was, is and will always be the greatest and the best.

we love you, Michael 1958-forever

[MsFoster86]

oh my god this film i had this!!....Makin of thriller!!!!..........Memories­.....sitting in the hallway looking thru frontroom door!!....im scared i was 5 or 4 looooool

[Trish93882]

Wow!!This documentary is great because it's showing you how they made it and how they came with the idea.I was so little when I saw this video.I was so scared when I saw the beginning.I used to run upstairs and hide.I would cry too because I though I had the curse.But after watching this documentary,I realized it was not real.I got used to it.Michael can do it all in the music business.RIP Michael 1958-2009.

[KaylaJene1]

@Trish93882 No Not RIP Mike He's Forever

[Trish93882]

Right.Thank You For Correcting Me.I'm Not That Good With My Sentences.Michael Is One Of My Favorite Artists In The World.

[MrsMJJForever1]

@KaylaJene1 Agreed. Even though people say RIP out of respect, I hate seeing it. I hate seeing 1958-2009 too! I feel like his fans are suffering enough with his absence so there's no need to put that because it only makes the pain worse. Michael Joseph Jackson: 1958-FOREVER. :)

[Trish93882]

@KaylaJene1 Do u know he had more money than any other artist or rapper in the whole wide world?

[AlovesMJ]

@KaylaJene1 exactly.

[daisyladii]

i love that song Who's Loving You he was sooooo precious

i miss mj<3

may he rest in peace

[Mspendragon72]

I watched this thing in Glen Burnie MD. on Super TV over and over...I couldn't talk...I didn't have words to express how I felt...It was awesome

[vdbling]

i will always love michael the most... he affects me on a level that defies comprehension. quite simply, he was a genius and a beautiful soul.

[MrJesusislord]

I remember MTV aired this making of Thriller and showed it every couple of hours for a couple of days. And would watch it over and over. I was about 8 year old then. Thats when MTV had real music videos, mostly pop/rock then.

[april104ful]

i am going to play his music all day friday cause its his death anniversary in his memory

[RushingRussia]

I wanna make it to heaven just to see you, Michael.

[MissAshanti24]

I Like This!!I Like Michael Joseph Jackson

[fresh77896]

I read something about John Landis saying Michael had Joe removed from the set when him and Katherine had stopped by the Thriller video shoot. Of course Joe denies this but he denies everything so I still believe the story.

[Th4Pr1m3K1n6]

@fresh77896 It could be true. Remember Jehova's Witnesses strongly don't believe in resurrection in that way. They don't believe in zombies and all of that. After the video released the Jehova's Witness church tried to sabotage MJ's career saying negative things about him and that he was like a devil etc. That's why that warning message is in the beginning of the Thriller video.

[fresh77896]

@Th4Pr1m3K1n6

Yea but what would that have to do with Joe getting removed from the set? I think he was saying it like Michael didn't want Joe to be there period. Not because it was against Joe's religious beliefs.

[krystalgem97]

@fresh77896 I'd have him removed too to be completely honest I can't stand the guy!

[MISSELO27]

@fresh77896 hahahahah I am so happy to know that!! joe removed from the set!! he deserved it!! I also believe the story!

[pkoppes777]

i wish people would just beleive him that he didnt molest any kid he was AWSOME RIP

[MJluv4allTIME]

this is history being made here and everyone at the time knew it

[iLoveMichael1958]

he is so fucking cute!!

[believerangel001]

WOW - brilliant! Love you always, xxx RIP

[Michaelwolf1000]

[qweds34mj]

Naaw this is so cute! I love you Mike, I miss you. ♥

[MrEriken]

3:35 lol and i had it on almost full sound lmao

[Darslow]

I just can't fathom how perfection can be so tragically dismantled. Mike had it all, but he couldn't seem to hold on to it. God, he was gorgeous! In my opinion, he was one of the sexiest men I've ever seen in my life. Even in his latter years, I could see that beautiful face beneath that mask.

[WizzardOfGlue]

heh damn michael was the shit back then, i mean he had no haters

[MsQUEENCELINE]

omfg! I swear I could watch this all Day!

I Love how Mikey Transforms into something else,

I just LUV him what a Legend (:

[99Dimesforever]

This is the best music video ever created. Michael pushed back boundaries with this masterpiece!!!

[Mrsmoothcriminal100]

this omfgoodnes  brings back alot of memories idont know if anyone had this as a video on cassete its called the making of thriller and in the end it comes on its like the hole story of thirller this brings back bunch of memories even with the fans just talking im gonna start crying aww

[choniz1]

it's so funny how they made this video, because they thought the thriller cost was too expensive and they would have to get there money some other way. Turns out they got t here money back and more

[williamkatt81]

Hey there... I was 78 Michaeljackson.. I am in the process of putting some MJ lists to my EVER EXPANDING lists here on my one page.. Google caused me to downsize... MJ rocks and I hope to add a LOT MORE MJ here soon... I am glad to see this still here.. :-)

[musikrocksme]

i luv michael aint he just so sexy. :]

[InfluenceFilms]

I always thought John Landis and MJ made a great time. John had real respect for Michael, the entertainer and the person. It was so sad (and fascinating) to watch John speak about his experiences with MJ on both shoots. (Thriller and Black or White) I wish the estate would get this on DVD already. It is long overdue. Should have been included with the Thriller 25 DVD if you ask me.

[cariboujoe]

@InfluenceFilms to bad in like '06 Landis tried to sue Mike over Thriller. Something about him not getting all the money he was due.

[cassiezheng1983]

do they have this making of thriller on dvd?

[mjlover4ever098]

i think so cuz my music teacher has it on dvd

[cassiezheng1983]

I want to have it in my dvd library. u know where i be able to get it?

[soulfyrestar]

Michael Jackson, U R the reason why I've been introduced thru your music, and also a big influence in my life ever since. U R irreplaceable and may your musical legacy will forever lives on.

[crvorhees]

And John Landis would go on to kill Vic Morrow and a couple kids. See you next Wednesday!

[Blackjesus3]

[montezdariel]

[TeyaEvans]

I was four years old when i first watched this song/movie, I was terrifed and i remember crying so much.

Now i'm 18, little did i know the man behind that scary makeup was so beautiful and sexy.

His smile makes my day every single time, and his laugh is beautiful!

Rest in peace, we miss you Michael

xxxxxx

[lovegurl2284]

I was the same way. I was maybe three when I saw it and scared me shitless for a number of years until one day I got over that fear and enjoyed every minute of the video and the documentary. By the way, I'm 25 years of age.

[chuneeh08]

@TeyaEvans o gosh same here hehe i didnt finish watching it and so scared and i dreamt all the time the zombies haunting me hehe but i love mj..;)

[ricolalozenge]

[fattoking]

@TeyaEvans same here... i used to watch this all the time at the age 3-4

[EnigmaMind]

@TeyaEvans lol me too! I remember running out of the room with my cousin when the dance sequence started and listening outside of the room till the end, then daring someone to change the channel or turn off the TV. Haha.

[LeondP]

@TeyaEvans haha I was sooo terribly scared as well the first time I saw it... must have been of the same age like you ;)

[BloodNote]

THIS is how I found out about MJ. THIS is the very first MJ anything that I watched and been in love since. I was about 4 years old when I saw this. I'm 22 now.

[RRRRRRodriguez123]

[Cassie86R]

[Stlcards789]
