Smooth Criminal & London Symphony Orchestra

[nyuwesh]

When i heard this song, i had a pre-vision image about Heaven: TV's there r broadcasting only good movies, and between them they play epic songs (like this, for example), 24/7, no commercial blocks, wearing dresses is forbidden for beautiful women in any circumstances except masquerades, and there are endless selection of good books, video games, cold beer, no hate, peace, no whining about ridiculous "problems", everybody have common sense, and we make parties every day'n'night for eternity...

[hanseuhiara]

incrivel.

[rationalindian10]

Wow!! What a masterpiece. London Philharmonic rocks!!!

[juratuke]

@dannyboy1777 i hope so :)

[FurretLover100]

I'm playing this in my school orchestra.

[Tinkerbelle4mj]

So beautiful!!! With the visuals...just made 'goose bumps' on my skin. What an incredible man. The London Symphony got it right! I compared it to The Moscow Symphony, which was not as good as this version. Bravo to each symphony for paying him this respect. Someone said we all are lucky to have lived in this time to hear his genius with music and dance...the man who gave us all so much. Thanking for making this video. :))))

[IngerulCRISS]

/watch?v=lRlKPeLnt0U A nice violin orchestra.

[Ofir84]

[garyhful]

The party of a cat at 5:58 has simply killed)

[monkeychelsea]

this is so good (L)

i heart mj R.i.p

[drakeplayer1234]

this is a great song. we dont need a symphony to confirm it's quality. i love mj by the way.

[drakeplayer1234]

its a miracle in itself that rocknroll works. we dont need to try it again with real instruments. Just leave it be for gods sake.

[drakeplayer1234]

dude on PBS was doin the same shit with Kashmir by Led Zeppelin. AWFUL

[drakeplayer1234]

I love how whenever a symphony does a version of a pop song they fill in the vocals with violins. Sounds like shit. Not a good idea.

[CompsciWiz]

@drakeplayer1234 They also used the brass instruments (trumpets) to partly fill in the vocals.

[drakeplayer1234]

@CompsciWiz its just this seems to be the new rage ever since metallica did there work with symphony....which sucked for the most part. People will listen to anything. Using instruments to recreate the vocals is a lame idea all around i think. Instruments accompanying vocals is one thing... but this has got to stop.

[sfallow]

@drakeplayer1234. Just for the record this predates Metallica. The L.S.O. classic rock series ran from 1976 - 1994. I wouldn't say it is a lame idea. It's just a different representation of the songs. If you don't like it that's your preference but don't slate it. I'll agree that Metallica's S&M album was pretty poor though.

[Elysazz]

Im in love xD

[Meer65466]

In my language arts class, we are studying heroism. When the teacher asked us for examples of heroes in this world, i said Michael Jackson, because he was a good man who gave so much all his life.

Everyone laughed, even the teacher.

I wont listen to them, Michael. YOU are my hero.

[EffOne95]

@Meer65466 That's horrible.

Why shouldn't he be you're hero?

They're obviously ignorant to the fact that he's amazing/

[Meer65466]

@EffOne95 i know. it's horrible, isn't it.

[neonal18]

@Meer65466 Kids these days are horrible. There's a guy in my school who, every time he sees me calls me a faggot. Not only am I not homosexual(nor have I given any indication that I might), but I've never even done anything to the guy!

Also, you're right! He was a great man! Even if later he possibly became those things that the media called him(none of which I believe), when he was at his best, he was THE best!

[LOVEMESOMEMICHAEL]

@neonal18

Dear young man;

Homosexual men through out time have been some of our greatest artist, dancers, leaders, and musicians; Alexander the Great, Walt Whitman, Oscar Wilde, Cole Porter, Andy Warhol, Michelangelo, Leonardo Da Vinci, Tchaikovsky, Noel Coward, Pope Benedict IX, Julius Caesar, Rudolf Nuryev, and James Dean.

Just to name a few. So the next time someone calls you gay, gay or not say "Thank you"  ,

,

[neonal18]

@LOVEMESOMEMICHAEL Thank you very much for that sound advice.

[LOVEMESOMEMICHAEL]

@Meer65466

Time will show you were right...wait and see.

He was and IS a hero.

[designimmortal]

@Meer65466 Ask your teacher how many humanitarian awards he won....and how much he did for the world and then ask him to laugh again. Michael was even awarded awards by the president. Not many musicians have accomplished such a thing.

[fellix07]

@Meer65466 well...my friend..get used to it ...because people are ignorant...that's what Michael fought with!!! Love :)

[unknown1982]

@Meer65466 Don't listen to them....true greatness always gets shunned just as well as praised. People tend to not understand true greatness. Look what happened to Jesus when people were in awe when he stated he was the son of the living God. They crucified him. Michael was crucified in our modern times...no one in our age has suffered such humiliation and pain like MJ has. And what's mostly horrifiying about this is the fact he didn't do anything wrong except spread the word of love.

[Meer65466]

@unknown1982 :) oh and i kinda doubt that mj suffered the worst. i mean... look at rape victims whose bodies are put up for auction and sold as if they were.... merchandise. mj was exploited pretty bad, but he wasn't the worst.

[ramnajarn]

@unknown1982

How dare you speak ill of the magnificent S&M album! Best unification (instead of replacement/cover) of band & symphony made until today! RIP MK

[douwevh]

@ramnajarn

S&M is awesome.. lol and who's MK?

[ramnajarn]

@douwevh

Michael Kamen. The composer of the S music in S&M and of the band of brothers music.

[dinah19691]

Thank you very very much LOVEMESOMEMICHAEL for sharing....Love it!!

[SuperCHERISHED]

Thank you EnGrunes for posting this video and thank you LOVEMESOMEMICHAEL for sharing it with me. I really enjoyed our beloved Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" performed by the London Symphony Orchestra. It was so exciting. I could imagine sitting in the audience waiting for the concert to begin and the orchestra starts to play "Smooth Criminal". I would be feeling exhilaration and would be trying to contain my composure.

[rosechris48]

oooohhhhh I think I will sit and look at this all day and keep spewing crap about MJ , You know what they say, fight fire with fire, well for a start this is shit, plastic man cretin wig wearer, paedophile, his nose was missing at the autopsy, someone stole it and oh yes, he had a 2 month gay affair with Jason Pfeiffer, it only stopped becaus wacko jacko died. ooohhhh I am going to do this all day, tit for tat.

[LOVEMESOMEMICHAEL]

@rosechris48

Not surprised you have nothing else to do.

[rosechris48]

@LOVEMESOMEMICHAEL I have plenty do do dearie, but I can always find time to go on MJ sites to slate him if the morons coming onto our sites don`t lay off, will find the time .

[LOVEMESOMEMICHAEL]

@rosechris48

Dear rosechris48 I saw your channel and I can see you love Mr. Elvis Presley.

Honestly anyone with a brain and ears can attest the man (Elvis) was a legend with a velvety voice that will never be equaled. (MJ would have agreed). If there are any MJ fans disparaging him I am sorry on their behalf. But tit for tat never SOLVES anything. World history teaches us that. Please have great day. Love you, Love Elvis, Love MJ. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE...

[nenabunena]

@LOVEMESOMEMICHAEL I'm sorry to say but I don't think MJ would've agreed at all. He considered Chuck Berry the true king of R&R. You forget MJ is a Black man & grew up in Black culture & Black culture knows that Elvis was a watered down version of Jackie Wilson. There was nothing original or artistic in Elvis. He was a product of WASP America & their aversion to Black music, culture & people. A Black musician never would've been accepted, hence the creation of Elvis.

[LOVEMESOMEMICHAEL]

@nenabunena

I cannot as a black woman who grew up listening to The Jacksons and Michael Jackson EVER forget he was a black man. Nor would I want to.

I agree with you about a white artist being accepted easier and in my 45 years on earth I have seen many great black artist being out sold by white artist with half the talent.

But; Michael was a fan of Elvis. That is a fact he had stated several times before.

Thank you for your reply...All for L.O.V.E.

[nenabunena]

@LOVEMESOMEMICHAEL Well, I'm not Black, Im from Asia but MJ never stated that EVER. I dont think he thought much of Elvis tbh especially compared to Chuck Berry, Jackie Wilson or James Brown. Research on the history of Elvis, Elvis copied his entire look & dance off Jackie Wilson, why would MJ who grew up in Motown ever admire Elvis of all people? Elvis is the fake Black man for nonBlack folks, you have other artists that you can be more proud of. Elvis was a fantastic performer but no artist

[foreverneverO7]

@nenabunena mj never once said he admired elvis. who would admire that copycat when we have the real pioneers like chuck berry, jackie wilson, james brown?

[juratuke]

My God !! It's great !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nicohoot2007]

Holy God my goosebumps! Michael your the KING!!

[paradais2]

This is amazing. Thanks very much for sharing.

[dangerousblablao]

[DCLsMusic]

Jesus Fucking Christ this is genious!

[warlock0110]

[EmpireLS56KW]

Wow now this has sweeping scale of stings horns drum beat and percussion that sounds better than the song featured in the film in Dolby stereo SR.

Epic win! The LSO again shows theyre brilliance.

Sounds cool on my JBL, sound system!

[pinkbabyberry]

[petillantes]

I LOOOOVE IT !!!! Great Song !!!

[MZSkylark13]

This is just....perfection

[ninj77]

Well, the Final Countdown interpreted by the London symphony orchestra really gives me the chills because it is so awesome!

But I gotta admit, pal: this version of Smooth Criminal is even better!

[Mjultimatemusiclegen]

This is the only pop song ive heard thus far to sound great with an orchestra, well the earth song sounds good as well. But it really shows his genius........not even beatles or queen songs sound any where near as good with orchestra in my opinion.

[OverWilliam]

@Mjultimatemusiclegen Look up some Apocalyptica covering Metallica songs. Apocalyptica is just four guys with Cellos, so they don't have quite the punch that a full Orchestra can belt out, but it is still amazing to hear the structure and skill that goes into some of their Guitar work. Gives me goosebumps. ;)

[Mjultimatemusiclegen]

@OverWilliam it's funny you should say that lol. Im in an orchestra, principle double bass :) and the cellos section from my orchestra played some metalica for a laugh, lol. It was classic

[sadistria]

amazing!!!

[AngelFlazz97]

[Annieareyouwokay]
