The fact that people are listening to him till this day means he is a legend
We still don’t know if Annie is ok😢😢
Context:Smooth Criminal is one of Michael Jackson's songs in the albums Bad and Bad 25. This song is about a woman named Annie, who has been attacked in her apartment by a "smooth" assailant. It was released on October 5, 1988, and recorded in 1986. This song was written by Michael Jackson and produced by Quincy Jones (with co-production by Michael Jackson). Michael Jackson based this song on mafia and criminal movies from 1940 to 1950s. The early demo version of Smooth Criminal was known as Al Capone before it was polished and finished. The phrase "Annie, are you okay?" repeated in the song's refrain references a training practice used in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (commonly known as CPR) classes. Resusci Annie is a widely-used practice mannequin throughout English-speaking countries, and students are taught to assess the condition of the recipient of CPR before performing the technique; this is commonly done by instructing trainees to ask the question, "Annie, are you okay?" prior to administering CPR in order to determine whether or not the patient is conscious and responsive. During the recording of Bad, Michael Jackson was known to have taken a CPR class.
he will always be the King of Pop, no one will ever take the throne from this legend
May he rest in peace, the greatest artist in the world ♥️ the most entertaining artist of my childhood
“To live is to be musical, starting with the blood dancing in your veins. Everything living has a rhythm. Do you feel your music?” ― Michael Jackson
Even when you listen to an MJ song this old, it still gives you that electricity running through your body that you dont get from new songs. Unique composition.
This song is inspired by Annie, the CPR doll, who was a real unidentified woman found washed to shore on a beach in France. They made a death mask of her for forensic reasons. Later her face was used for the CPR dolls. You are taught to shake the doll and ask Annie, "Are You ok Annie " and if she doesn't respond to start CPR. It was never determined what had exactly happened to the real Annie, but fool play was assumed and the case remains unsolved.
Never seen someone talk a simple sentence like “Annie are you okay” which such passion and charm
MJ FACT: That’s Michael’s actual heartbeat in the beginning of the song.❤️
Michael ❤️🔥
This track never gets old! MJ's music is timeless! R.I.P King Of Pop!
Since I was born, 1966, I still listen to my record albums, 45's, of MJ. Always a big part of my life still. Love MJ. ❤️
He is the champion. No one can beat from his songs. He is unstoppable
Truly a beautiful song ONE of the most beautiful songs I have ever seen and heard RIP MICHAEL JACKSON ❤😢
even at 3am it is amazing
3:03 Michael’s Adlibs as Annie is incredible.. 🤍🕊💙🫡👑
For an almost 40 year old song, it still kicks. This song(and many other MJ hits) dominated my childhood. I loved growing up listening to all the fresh 80s music.
Best singer of them all
