Many of us know (and love) Michael Jackson’s Black or White song, and the music video is a favorite classic. Few know that there was an extended version of the video. This is the second half of that longer music video of Black or White.
Also experimentally uploaded in Odysee to see how that works!
PS. marked NSFW partly because of Michael’s sexy moves and partly because of “other things”!..
Yeah, I had forgotten this existed too.
I’d also forgotten what a strange blend of weird and awesome it is. Just this tangent off of the music video that’s all a dance of protest and anger, but with the utterly bizarre shouts that don’t match the feel of the visuals.
I think it not only works, but looking back at the controversy of it makes it work more.
I feel it matches perfectly, like you said it’s a dance of protest and anger, to me the improvised shouts are like outbursts of passion and anguish.
Not disagreeing with your opinion, the vocalisations are a little jarring. This music video (and a ton of other Michael videos) were a huge part of my childhood so maybe I’m just used to his shouts being a part of the visual.
