Michael Jackson: HIStory on Film - Volume II

I will do this review on a video by video basis,

First of all I really didn't like the "teaser" because it made MJ look like a demigod and there was no real purpose to it except an ego trip 0/10.

video 1: BILLIE JEAN (from Motown 25h show) good performance of MJ being MJ 10/10

video 2: BEAT IT good video not enough MJ dancing 6/10

video 3: LIBERIAN GIRL what's this all about huh? MJ friends 4/10

video 4: SMOOTH CRIMINAL very good video. MJ at his very best 13/10

video 6: THRILLER MJ classic video and second best ever 12/10

video 7: SCREAM (With Janet Jackson) strange video 5/10

video 8: CHILDHOOD okay song worse video 2/10

video 9: YOU ARE NOT ALONE can MJ become any whiter 6/10

video 10: EARTH SONG a okay song but a silly video a better one with a simular message is MAN IN THE MIRROR 4/10

video 11: THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT US (BRAZILIAN VERSION) 7/10

video 12: STRANGER IN MOSCOW sad video 8/10

video 13. BLOOD ON THE DANCE FLOOR (refugee mix) bad song/video 0/10

video grade 85/130 or 7/10

Michael Joseph Jackson (born in Gary, Indiana-1958) was an American singer, songwriter, record producer, dancer, and actor. Called the "King of Pop", his contributions to music, dance, and fashion, along with his highly-publicized personal life, made him a global figure in popular culture for over 4 decades.

Michael Jackson was inducted onto the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1980 as a member of the Jacksons and in 1984 as a solo artist. Throughout his career he received numerous honors and awards.

Jackson's awards include many Guinness World Records (8 in 2006 alone), including for the Most Successful Entertainer of All Time, and 13 Grammy Awards. Estimated sales of over 350 million records, worldwide, made Jackson one of the best-selling artists in modern music history.

In 2009 - Michael Jackson (50 at the time) died from heart failure due to medical negligence. Criminal charges of "involuntary manslaughter" were brought against those involved.

A video of Michael Jackson songs . From the Billie Jean Motown performance to the effects of Thriller, they are all here . However as the tape goes on and you get to present day Jackson , there is an obvious fall in standards of the videos, especially the new ones .

And Jackson with full make-up and lipstick on for the final video , 'Blood on the Dancefloor' . Strictly for Jackson fans .

Such a genius..wow. there is a reason he is the most successful artist in the world. Truly incredible. Once in a billion years entertainer he was.

I bought this on DVD, and was astounded by the sound quality, music videos and the amazing performances by a truly talented artist.

His performances include, Billie Jean (Motown 25: Yesterday, Today and Forever) which started the unique 'moonwalking' dance and the 1995 MTV video music awards performance which shows the highly skilled dance routines that will leave you drooling and your jaw hanging.....

The compilation of all of his music shows all the stages he has been through in his life from a innocent, sweet, black boy to a surgically enhanced, scrutinized adult with a rollar-coaster past...

Some of the music videos on the second side were not of a high standard as his hits such as billie jean, beat it and thriller and it would have been nice to see some more of the oldies such as bad, rock with you, remember the time and the highly acclaimed black or white.

On side one we see original music that you can get on down to...but on side two there is a twist as we see the expensive 'Scream' showing his harrassment from the media, 'Childhood' which shows his painful youth. They all show a negative but true message.

This is two hours of short films that will definately leave you spinning and wanting more from one of the best artists of the millenium...Michael Jackson.
