Format:DVD
I am a big michael jackson fan and i was looking forward to this DVD but when I got it I was a little disappointed as the dvd only runs for 40 minutes. Michael does not even give an interview. This dvd is just people talking about michael and his songs. There are no exras on this DVD and we dont even get to hear one full song. Now I am saying this dvd is rubbish its good but any new michael jackson fans really should buy another dvd on michael jackson. Not the best michael jackson dvd out there.

Format:DVD
Sony publicised this DVD as having footage from the 1988 Grammy's andbehind the scenes footage from the song 'Wanna be Startin Somethin'. Therewas actually never a video for that particular song, so it came as nosurprise to me that this footage doesn't exist, but the fact that theyadvertised it as containing Grammy's footage when it didn't was veryirritating indeed. This is yet another desparate attempt by Sony to makeMichael Jackson look stupid and simulataneously squeeze money from thepublic.
But, in a welcome twist of fate, this DVD is amazing none-the-less. If youare a new Michael Jackson fan then you will love this DVD because it showshis career in highlights with cool video and tour footage combined withlots of information. If you are a long time fan then you will love thisDVD for the rare footage and the fact that it's actually positive.
For no apparent reason this DVD cuts off after Dangerous was released, andcompletely ignores HIStory, Blood on the Dancefloor, and Invinciblealbums. Furthermore, it only speaks about one song from Dangerous. In myopinion, Dangerous, HIStory, and Invincible are Michael's most creativeworks, along with Ghosts, the mini-movie, which was also made during theera that was untimely forgotten by the creators of this documentary, so Ifound their absence to be very frustrating.
The video for One More Chance is beautiful, and appears to be Michael'sway of thanking his fans. The video is packed with footage of his fansholding torches and candles for him, screaming, crying, fainting overhim... it's kind of his way of saying, thanks for giving me this, I wantthe World to see it and see how proud it makes me.
Sony advertised this DVD as an "expanded version of the CBS special" thataired last year... can somebody please explain to me how you expand anhour long show, and make it 40 minutes? JLo was cut out, Slash was cutout, and Mya were cut out... all irritating.
Yet still, I give this DVD 5/5, because at the end of the day, Michael isMichael. The songs on this DVD are beautiful. The videos are phenomenal.The dancing and the performances are the greatest this planet has everseen, and probably ever will see. It's cool to watch Beyonce Knowlesswooning over Michae repeatedly calling him sexy, and it's great to watchso many of today's biggest talents paying homage to the true King of Pop.So despite the missing footage, despite the wrongful advertising, anddespite Sony's greed and lies, this is still a great DVD to own.
If you are looking for music videos then I would suggest HIStory on FilmVolume II or Dangerous: The Short Films, but if you are looking forpositive, fun, rare footage with an incredible mix of live footage andvideos, this will do you fine.

Format:DVD
The release is an expanded version of the 1 hour special that aired in the US on 2nd of January. The artwork for the DVD includes the King of Pop's most recent bio, press release, and discography.
The special includes new takes on Michael's classic songs, combining the digitally restored original music videos with live performances from the "Off The Wall" and "Thriller" eras.
Also included is footage from his HIStory world tour and behind-the-scenes footage from Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'.
The special features guests commentaries of Beyonce Knowles, Mary J. Blige, Missy Elliot, Dick Clark, Carson Daly, Shaggy, Savion Glover, Pharrell Williams, Wyclef Jean and Quincy Jones.
The special has a (in these times rare) positive view on Michael Jackson and is definitely recommended.

Not as good as expected
Was expecting Man in the Mirror to be on this, but it wasn't, although it was a good DVD but would have like more of his popular songs on there.
