Thanks man! Couldn't live without it

It was a great documentary. I felt, finally, we were seeing the REAL Michael Jackson...away from the craziness, sensationalism and lies the media and opportunists have orchestrated about him. The music, the dancer, good and caring nature...that was Michael.

Amazing song:

[Slushy]

I hadn't seen this movie since I was 6 years old so let's go down memory lane with my revisitation with the imported Blu-Ray version:

Man In The Mirror - Such a great song. Very inspirational. I can see why Michael would make sure it was first thing people would experience to get them to help make the world a better place. Its amazing to see how packed Wembley Stadium was. No wonder MJ was arguably the most famous man in the world!

Retrospective - Snippets of Michael's rise to fame through his music from his Jackson 5 days all the way to Dirty Diana. Its basically a tribute and now its a morbid coincidence.

Badder - Something for the kids.

Speed Demon - I'm not a fan of claymation, but when Michael was being chased by the fans & members of the press, it looked like he was having fun. My favorite part of this was when the rabbit version of himself challenged him to a dance-off. Some really cool stuff there!

Leave Me Alone - I was never too crazy about this song, but it easy to understand why Michael would put it out there.

Smooth Criminal - This is where the real start of the film is. Here we see Joe Pesci playing a drug dealer and later are introduced to Michael donning his iconic white gangster outfit. I always loved Smooth Criminal and it was great how Michael was able to extend the song. My favorite part of the film, the one scene I always remembered, was when Michael turned into a Transformer probably because it was the coolest thing to see as a little boy. When I watched this scene again, this time in High-Definition (the soap opera feature on my HDTV turned on), again it was awesome to see how...smooth (yes, pun intended) it looked when The King Of Pop went into a murderous rampage on all those armed goons to save those kids.

Come Together - Good song chosen to bring the show to an end. Michael's cover was well done.

In my opinion Bad Tour is Michael's best tour. They should release more concerts. This Tokyo 87 video is great:

Also noticed the phrase "cold as ice" in Al Capone & I'm So Blue and I couldn't see him putting 2 different songs on one album with the same distinct terms like that. Just a little something that made me wonder about the production of the album and him writing so many songs for Bad like he did.

He put "Ghosts" & "Is It Scary" on the same album and they had an identical verse!

Hmm, I must've missed that one "Cold as ice" still sticks out like a sore thumb

[Chris Wallace]

Do you HAVE Blood On The Dancefloor? I don't see how you could miss it if you did. Verse 2. It's the exact same verse.

[JaD]

I have it, haven't listened to that album in ages. I've got homework tonight...

[Rodrigo90]

Do yourself a joyful favor...LISTEN TO IT!!!

This kid is pretty awesome, he nails this song.Kinda makes it his own in some parts. Obviously he was really nervous and needs a little more training but kudos to him for one hell of a job.

[Chris Wallace]

I'm growing to prefer MJ's lesser known/unreleased songs over some of his hits.

That is one of my favorite songs of his but I haven't heard that version before. I have listened this version of Hot Street a lot:

[Rodrigo90]

Has anybody ever heard 'Do You Know Where Your Children Are?'

That's an awesome and sadly unreleased song. It was or the Dangerous album. It was supposed to be released for the Michael album, but they thought it would be bad PR...pfft.

[Galactus123]

They should release more demos. 2nd demo of Billie Jean is awesome:
