@Michael Jackson
The rhythmic interplay between the instrumental arrangement and the vocals are truly unique and inspiring in this piece. There’s this sense, in many cases, that Michael is playing the role of a horn player in the way he phrases. There is evidence of this in other pieces too, but this song really brings that ‘instrument nature’ of Michael’s voice to the forefront.
…And you hear it in an extra enriching way when you get to isolate out the different instrumental aspects to hear how Michael’s voice pulls and plays with time.
Lots more easter eggs and interesting discoveries too! Let’s jump in!

One of the greatest singers and musicians of all time, and your analysis is 🔥
His voice cannot be copied. Harmonies here are epic. This is great, thank you 👍😁
Thank you a lot for Michael's music, but where instrumental tracks?))
So is "going back" in the space vocally infer more in the nasal area?
And going through these intimately, and hearing him sooo into it and alive… Makes it seem like he's still here. Like how can he possibly be gone.
Where can I get the leave me alone multitrack?
Quincy had very little influence on this particular track. This is purely Michael and his B team at Hayvenhurst
If I remember correctly, all the work that went into this song is why it was only available on CD as neither LP or Cassettes would do it justice
Have you done Michael’s cover of “Come Together” yet? IMO, way better than the original. I’m glad he got the rights to all the Beetles’ music just because of that song; it was perfect for his voice.
Great video as always! Just wanna add a little detail: the Bad album wasn't that much of a Q project. Most of it was done in MJs home studio, where Q wasn't around. The Bad album was supposed to be a Bill Bottrell project, as MJ belived his contract with Q ended with The ET Storybook album. Q however found a way to get into another MJ project, when MJ had already done a lot of work with Bottrell. There's an interview with Bottrell, where he talked about this in detail. I guess that's why Q didn't wanna take part in the Bad25 docu. I guess he wanted to avoid these subjects (how he put his name on somebody else's work). John Barnes said the same thing about the Bad project in an interview, btw.
Amazing break down, so much detail that i never picked up before this video. I loved the bit about the horn player, it's so genius!
Nice one Chris!
So… you switched to Logic Pro. Good for you 😉 Well, thanks for all your awesome video's. So much insight and inspiration.
Incredible video. This is fascinating!
Michael Jackson was on another level 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎 his level of singing was outstanding the Vocal king 👑👑👑👑 what I just heard today in your video wowww😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Please do the way you make me feel! It's my all time favorite song
Magnificent!
The chorus has 3-4 layers of crescendo. Also all or most of Michael's choruses are by himself! The trumpets are signature 1980s tradition. His doing the "tappa do.. tappa do…" is repeated again in Remember The Time.
Since Tabloid Junkie (History album 1995) and Price Of Fame (Bad album 1987) share similar theme of paparazzi, it'll be wonderful to watch your reaction to them.
where are you finding these stems
I wonder when will you do for the song Jam
Definitely wasn't on the original album version
the best video everr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you Chris
Michael Jackson is still alive. The truth will be revealed soon.
hmmmmmm, maybe its time you do Michael Jackson's 'Dangerous' song?
Day made ❤
When the greatest vocalists are discussed by YouTubers it's nearly always a bunch of females somewhere between spinto and mezzo with the odd coloratura thrown in 🙄. If male vocalists do get a look-in they're usually tenors of the pop/rock/soul variety like Stevie Wonder, Axl Rose, Freddie Mercury and Bryan Adams. Michael is often left out for unjustified reasons. I do not know another vocalist with his range of versatility able to sing every genre like a professional and if more critics were able to appreciate good singing they wouldn't merely see him as a song & dance man.
Leave Me Alone is brilliant and its composition is very similar (in my view) to The Way You Make Me Feel.
15:10 I always suspected that Michael was emulating the instruments there with his voice but wasn't 100% sure
Oh snap he did it I was waiting for this thanks Chris ❤️✌🏾
Can you do this in Billie eilishs lovely 💕
This by far is my favorite song. I’m so glad you broke it down. I love it.
There’s also some missing little vocals , doh doh doh, doh, doh. You can hear them on this track, at 8:35–8:45. Please please explain!
