Brooke from London, United KingdomThe opening in this song is great, Michael Jackson knows how to keep you listening to his songs.Mercedies from Soldotna, AkI love his music.Any does anyone notice the particularly lewd guestures Michael makes when he sings about "keeping you satisfied"? LOL I love the synth in it too, I just picture the girl as she's walkin away, swingin her hips to the rythm.as they seem to in the video. Maki from Moses Lake, WaI love this song! It is my favorite, and I adore the video! He's just so sexy in it, the way he pursues that girl so aggressively in that video, and the way she so coyly tries to dodge him.Pete from Nowra, AustraliaI heard Jackson wasn't overly interested in the girl in the video, she was, and made it known, Michael just didn't care.Brother from New York, NyThis is one of the best music videos I've seen.Chi Girl from NigeriaThe song makes me feel so wanted!.Siahara Shyne Carter from United StatesI love All his music! Very Beautiful Who's bad! I love it too -).In hindsight, the video for this song has been criticized for promoting cat-calling, and the subject of the song is a narrative of Jackson trying to get the attention of a beautiful woman, but generally speaking, the song contains no offensive material. This song is slightly less known by students, but their reaction to Jackson's music is generally positive. Published in 12/8 time, this song is a good listening example to use as students learn to play in that particular time signature.Ĭonsiderations for Teaching: Students are very familiar with Jackson's ouvre. This song serves as another portion of Jackson's legacy, which includes multiple Guiness World Records (including Most Successful Recording Artist), 13 Grammys, and the biggest selling record of all time.Īnalysis: With a quick tempo and lilting feel, this song serves as a good example of symmetrical compound meter. The song was written by Jackson, who also co-produced it with longtime collaborator Quincy Jones. “The Way You Make Me Feel” was the third single in a row from Jackson's 1987 Bad album to reach #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart and it reached #1 in Ireland as well. De dame wordt gespeeld door Tatiana Thumbtzen, op dat moment ook. Jackson heeft dan al eerder meisjes bezongen in nummers als Rock With You en P.Y.T, maar dit nummer heeft de eerste videoclip waarin daadwerkelijk een meisje te zien is. Intro: Quite possibly the most famous American performer of the 20 th century, the man known as the King of Pop was unusual also in that the second act of his career was even larger than the first, even with the massive success of the Jackson 5. The Way You Make Me Feel is de derde single van Michael Jacksons album Bad uit 1987. ”The Way You Make Me Feel" - Michael Jackson Either way, this song is a good listening example. In simple meter, you would divide the beat in two, essentially by eighth notes (and further by sixteenth notes) - think "one-and two-and three-and four-and." In compound meter, at least some of the beats are divided into three rather than two - think "one-pu-let two-pu-let", or in terms of words, "strawberry strawberry." However you want to count that I'm not up on the latest research as to what helps students to best subdivide (but there is research done on the subject). Why do we call it symmetrical compound meter? It's all about the subdivsion. If you have students playing a piece that's in a quick 6/8 or 12/8 time, this might be a good listening example to reinforce playing 6/8 at a fast tempo. This song is a good example of 12/8 time that moves very quickly. Typically in pop songs, when you have symmetrical compound meter, like 6/8 or 12/8 time, the songs are slower and more lilting.

If you are a Pandora subscriber/user (I am not), you'll find that some of their musical suggestions are based on meter.
