screw the haters.
I thought they would have mentioned Smooth Criminal... one of his best songs, and my personal favourite MJ music video
they at least had a small clip from smooth criminal's music video :D
Mine too
Well they did sort of 9:23
Yee
But is Annie is ok are you ok Annie?
Love you, Michael! R.I.P. I cried so hard when I found out he was gone. We'd been driving around in the car, going somewhere, and I had to stop at an Arby's to go to the bathroom. When I got back to the car, my husband was playing the radio, and one Michael after another played. I was excited because I've always loved him. I turned to my husband, who had a sad look on his face. I asked him what was wrong, and he said, "It was just on the news. Michael Jackson passed away." I swear I felt my heart drop to my stomach, and I started crying. He was a wonderful performer, a fantastic vocalist, a humanitarian, and a loving, humble, giving man. And way too young to go.
Ur story make me cry
Greatest and most talented music artist to have ever lived. There can be no disputing that he was on another level than anyone.
WHO STAYED FRIENDS WITH LITTLE BOYS--EVEN AFTER HE WAS ACCUSED OF CHILD MOLESTATION- HE'S A PEDOPHILE
Marcus Gomez You cant prove it
Marcus Gomez the kid that accused him confess after his death that he didnt do anything so you dont have anything on him BITCH
The DTR imagination no he didn't you liar. where do these people come from? Yu liars come right out of the woodworks- I will pay you 100.00 if you can find it here on UA-cam.COM
Marcus Gomez NOT GUILTY IN EVERY CASE BOOYAAA BIIAAATCH!! FUCKING TROLL GO BACK TO THE ROCK THAT YOU CAME
was the King of Pop? bruh he still IS.
Indeed. He's hiding somewhere else...
I don’t get why he looks like a woman..?? He was so hot before👅
Alfred Carabajal Unnecessary horny 15 yards back
Yh he still is
YES WHATEVER HE DIE HE STILL THE KIND OF BOB STAR
Amazing success story, when you are this talented you don't have to do much to succeed, R.I.P King Of Pop
UPlayNetwork apart from selling your soul of course
@@SXXB2208 he was actually the only Legend who didn't sell his soul.
Swag😎
MJ was actually a perfectionist. I remember interviews where he shared that he was dancing 8 hours a day to get ready for performances. As a prep he also still used to watch concert performances by James Brown, when he already was an established artist. As a young child artist he used to study the older Motown artists from the wings of the stage. Also his parents were musicians. That's what makes it look easy; he put in the work to make it so.
@@aymanbouhajja7263 CAP
The only "problem" Michael had was that he thought of himself still as a child, with a child's heart. To him sharing his bed and his home with children was like a boy having a sleepover. Because of this their were people who thought they could take advantage of this and chased him for everything they could get. This world was never meant for people with big hearts.
gutz1981 inappropriate may be but i dont think mny ppl think of him as sinister. Where as woody allen is well..... Hollywood racism at work i guess
@@tiffsaver FUCK your self negga
@@CovidConQuitTheCensorship Michael was far from a homosexual. He loved woman
Yeah 💯
holy crap this is so sick, how can you justify something like that?
Michael Jackson will always be in my heart.... The LEGEND lives on..
I wish people would stop saying he was obsessed with plastic surgery, he only had one surgery done to his nose, so he can breathe and sing higher notes better. Can't people accept the fact that MJ actually admitted the embarrassing fact that he had the skin disorder vitiligo? He dedicated over 40 years of his life, giving people wonderful music, and the tabloids are still making up stupid lies about him.
Kadance Waltz Forget the media. They're jealous!
Well the media gave him a really hard time. Just saying.
Kadance Waltz
ikr. The media is completely trash (save for the Conservative media).
*****
sounds fine.
He is beautiful always, so of course his nose was cool.
I'm sorry watch mojo, this has too many mistakes.... The history tour was more successful than bad, and Michael Jackson didn't have an obsession with plastic surgery... He had two ops on his nose and a simple put in his chin... Other physical changes cane from hair style changes, weight loss, predominantly after the child molestation cases, making him appear gaunt, and his many skin conditions that changed the colour and appearance of his skin... Evidence comes from documents and post mortem examinations.
+Thomas Camp Thank you!
I don't like the way WatchMojo (and the mainstream medias, in general) is rewriting History. There are so many lies about Michael Jackson that have been spread. I'm a bit worry about how people will see Michael Jackson 50-100 years later, because of that.
There are fortunately other people who are doing a deep research on him to find the truth, Thank God !
Pinklaeti I feel you I'm really scared as well. We need to believe the truth but all these media pages and tabloids are making up to many lies about Michael which is so disrespectful
Another problem that I have is how vague and loosely they put all of their information.
I agree with all of them but im pretty sure bad was more successful than history
"we knew him as the king." More like we KNOW him as the king.
It's funny how "Bad" wasn't considered a successful follow-up to "Thriller" at that time. It was the first album to produce 5 consecutive #1 hits and sold over 35 million records regardless.
I don't think he was ever satisfied with the success of BAD!! He tried chasing the success of Thriller for the rest of his career, but he couldn't do it. It was truly a once in a lifetime thing.I personally think BAD was the better album. He over pressurised himself too much😁 You can imagine how crushing it must have been for him to not win a single Grammy for BAD when he literally won 8 in one night for Thriller!!
+Maha bubble bad album is his best work in my opinion
+Maha bubble bad actually won two grammies but it deserved more than that
Mohammad Sufian Ohh!! Of course he deserved more than that. It was master class. As much as i love BAD, "Off the Wall" and "Dangerous" will always be my 2 favourite alums. Musically and lyrically these two are the bomb.com.
This is such a late response but it was actually 6 number hits if you count countries outside of the US. Liberian girl hit #1 in Ireland so that album actually had 6 #1 but 5 is still amazingly impressive.
I came here doubtful of what might be shown about him, due to many ignorant and biased documentaries I've seen in the past. Thankfully I was wrong. Thank you WatchMojo for this beautiful, unbiased look at Michael's life and career. Brought tears to my eyes. He truly is the greatest Music Legend ever.
Same here. Hats off to Watchmojo for being unbiased and rational.
Same here
The king of pop will live forever. #MJ4LIFE
Fo shizzle!
Michael Jackson, the one and only! I can surely say that we would never ever have such a talented and influental Musician/Singer. He is the primest example of a role model put the claws of modern mass-media, a scary reminder how the machine actually works.
First there was a dispute with the MTV, they did not want to broadcast black musicians music, that was the showcase of super primitive thinking. Then after he was aired for the first time after a long fight.......WOOOOOW! A huge success, but not for Michael! Michael would be anyway planetary famous, with or without the MTV...but on the other hand MTV should be eternaly thankful to the musician who launched them into success and they judged him just by the colour of his skin.
Then there were years of constant success in the 80's and the world watched how Michael was always setting the standards higher and higher. He only had the best musicians around, the best producer(s) and he was surely the best in what was he doing...showbusiness. Look at the nowadays music? Just a bunch of nicely packed squirreldreck.
But then, a mass-media machinery showed his ugly face again by fabricating lies about Michael, and that longed for almost 20 years! Years on we could only hear how Michael is a bad, bad man, a world class pedophile who acts as a good guy but it's bad to the bone, his albums and all of the work in that period was in a shade of fabrication.
Then, he died...! Mass medias who caused such a misery to him are suddenly in a "great and unimaginable" sorrow for the King of POP, everyone who was speaking bad about him is now practically praising Michael, and they're all "struck" by this huge loss......what a money hungry bunch of hypocrites.
Michael Jackson legacy on a modern culture can never be changed, he was surely not a perfect, but he tried! And still, his tries were the most succesful ones!

*tips fedora*
I'm not a big fan but i'll give him this he was a real show man, an if their will never be another one like him in my life time.
R.I.P an may he fine happens in the arms of the lord.
Michael Jackson is the best musical genius of our time. Who else has sold over 400 million records.All you have to do is look at the man's credits.
***** care to provide evidence that he was a pedophile? He was never convicted.
Over 400 million people are stupid?Really? Sarah Oberhofer it's obvious your a silly little child with nothing else to do.Go back to playing Candy Crush or go read a book,do something. Just stay out of conversations which are above your intelligence level.
***** You were obviously born in the late 2000's, to say some dumbshit like this. If you dislike, and hate this man so much, why go on video's about him, spreading bs? Let alone throwing your opinions around, when no one asked for it, to get a reaction? Smdh, at people these days! -__-
1. The Beatles have sold more albums; 2. If you settle out of court, you might not admit guilt, but you're paying millions for someone to shut up.
Corky Schillinger oh really?the family was after money!they said if mj won't pay them the money,they will ruin his carrier.Also even the FBI said that there was no evidence found in neverland, but media made up some crazy stories so they would get more money.Also heres what Debbie Rowe(ex wife) said about the situation-''I known Michael for almost 20 years.I haven't seen anything iilegal or non moral in Michaels house.if i would have seen anything,I wouldn't have married him''.
Undoubtedly Michael Jackson is one of my most favourite music artist / musician of all time. A Die hard Michael Jackson fan (aka. Moonwalker). MJ rocks !!!!!!
I find it funny how everyone now cares about micheal Jackson, but 6 years ago, you couldn't cross the street without hearing a Micheal Jackson joke. Everyone is fake
yeah, "had" the biggest fanbase, till he started touchin kids, then he lost it all until he kicked the bucket. Then everyone pretends all the jokes they made never happened.
haustyl12 Don't forget about the jokes AFTER he died. But then again, that happens when any celebrity snuffs it.
You can make jokes about someone and still like their music you know .
haustyl12 No, that's not it. What happened after he died was that the media started doing retrospective pieces on his life (like this video) and pointing out all the contributions he had made to pop music and music in-general. Not to mention pointing out barriers he had broken for African American musicians, like being the first black guy to appear on the cover of Rolling Stone etc.
I actually remember people, who were too young to have seen MJ in his hayday, and only knew of him because of the child molestation charges actually hearing his songs properly for the first time after his death and going "OMG! He was awesome!"
It is also important to remember that he was never convicted of anything, ever! After his death, a lot of articles came out pointing out this rather basic fact and also reviewing the charges against him and the evidence in an objective, not sensationalised manner and people started to go, "you know what, I can see why the jury didn't convict him" or better yet "yeah, he was innocent".
That's why he made something of a comeback after death. It's when the book closed on his life that many, many, many people actually looked at his life and contributions and began to appreciate him (in the case of the young and new fans) or re-appreciate him (old fans who had simply forgot how good he was) as a musician and maybe even as a person because they began to believe that Michael Jackson had been innocent.
Everyone takes comments to the extreme. Why can't everyone just enjoy the video for what it is , shit.
Michael was a good person and like every good person he got taken advantage from a lot.
This man is a legend. I did not even know that he held so many best selling records.
who cares if he mada plastic surgeries? the man blessed us with his talent and tried to heal the world, and thats how many people remmber him !
I agree with u. Why is everyone's pblm if he do a plastic surgury or anything else.....
Nobody should care about his plastic surgeries.. his music and his horrifying child abuse cases are the things he will be remembered by
hugo costa I agree
Rahul thilak he was the best
Maisha Mou this is so crazy
First Michael jackson won 8 grammys for thriller not 7
I thought it was 13
Tristen Neufville he won 8 in one night
Wow impressive
13 actually
He won 13 overall!! Including the Grammy Legend award. Unfortunately the Grammy's ignored the second half of his solo career:/
How do I feel about Michael Jackson? Lets put it this way. In 2010 I was assaulted outdoors,brutally. I had the song "Beat It" in my mind. What could I do? Mike making it clear running away from such dangers wasn't necessarily a bad thing saved my life. As long as I am alive? Michael Jackson's music and conscienciousness will be right up there with the influence of Stevie Wonder,The Beatles,Joan Baez,Curtis Mayfield and every other musical great I admire.
he was such a perfection
Indeed he was
Michael jackson is the king of pop....... His music will live on
Hello mariah
How are you doing today?
michael jackson stays as the king of pop, not "is", "is" makes the sentence sounds like he is alive
R.I.P Michael.
I have always love Michael, since I heard Billie Jean, and I remember watching Rush Hour 1 & 2 and saw him and Chris Tucker performing his new single You Rock My World. When I was 3 my dad bought me his Greatest Music Video Hits and I would watch that 100 times every single day. I would do my best to dance like him and sing like Michael. I may not be that old but I grew up with Michael in my Childhood and saw the things on the news but stilled loved him no matter what. Then in 2009 I heard of his death and I was heart Broken, my world came crashing down and I was in misery. My biggest fan, my biggest inspiration had passes away and I cried for months. He was my hero, my star, my reason to dance, to these day I still watch his videos, listen to his music and still dance like him in the best way I can. No matter where I go or where I am, I'm dancing to him and like him all over the place. Long live the King of Pop, the legend, the amazing and very incredibly talented Mr. ... Michael Jackson
Michael was like this cute little helpless innocent kitty getting run over by a giant evil truck. That's my take on this. I don't care what anyone else says about you michael, I will forever and always believe you are 100% innocent :) WE LOVE YOU MICHAEL
Greatest of all Time, R.I.P Michael Jackson.

Michael was the best artist ever. he donated hundreds of millions of dollars to charity and broke records. the public went too far to destroy his public image and now he is dead. thats sad, it really is. no one should have to go through that.
I saw michael jackson at london zoo 2005 when I was a kid.
you lucky son of a bitch
ryan kemp lucky man. Gg
Lucky
Whaaaaaaat?
HE IS THE KING OF POP NOT WAS!
You should say it like -He stays as king of pop.He is sounds like he is alive.
YES
Everything he did was perfect. His dancing, his singing, his acting, his style, his love for helping children and people all around the world, his caring and humble personality just everything! He should have been treated better because we will never get someone like him again but sadly people only believe terrible lies about him. Please leave this angel alone.
Are you a Moonwalker???
Hell yeah
Yassss
always 💙💚😊
What was the song on 9:10?
+Michael Ellis cry
The last part about his life death and legacy gave me chills rip Michael
MJ was especially unique for his place in music and pop culture, but when people say there will never be someone like him I wince. music and pop culture are always in cycles and there will be another pop star just give it time.(maybe a lot of time)
You're wrong and right. Culture does come in cycles, but what those people are saying is that there will never be anyone like MJ again. He was too unique. He encompassed the entire spectrum of talent and dialed said talent up to 13. There truly will never be another MJ.
I wanna just say that Michael Jackson was &still the best one in the world and i'd like very much to hear that MJ still alive then i will be glad more than the happiness
His love was the greatest of all
*Another very talented and VERY tormented soul. his family was beyond dysfunctional. Sad.*
Shake your body down to the ground! Oh! Thanks everybody, I love him! Make sure to like this 20 years later!
If this video would still be available that is.
Hello 👋
How are you doing today?
It's 2024. How ya doing
Rest in peace Michael Joseph Jackson
It really sucks how the media broke him down & how his dad was so unsupportive, he didn't grow in a very stable household & lead to many of his problems. Really sad tbh rip Michael Jackson
RIP MJ
The King of Pop
@3:28"He displayed his now patented move, the moonwalk"
And because they zoomed in a full screen image to fit this youtube video's window to look wide-screen, we couldn't even see his feet. Great job mojo!!
Thank you Mojo! I used this for a composer assignment in class and got a 100!
Such a legend. Not many people are in business for that long, and stay so amazing as well. Rest in peace.
He IS the King of Pop!!
Im just amazed this video even has dislikes. This is a brief information about a man who literally changed the entire pop culture, broke so many records etc.
Probably dislikes from people who are racist. Remember he suffered a lot from that. People including the media didn't like that the greatest entertainer of all time was black.
@@unathinkomo5858 I disagree and like to imagine our world is a nicer, more inclusive place than that.
@@expirednachos that's pure ignorance. It's a fact. Everyone knows Michael Jackson suffered racism coming from people who didn't like his power as a black man. He broke through racial barriers and racist people didn't like that. That's just how it was whether you like it or not.
Michael Jackson is one of my favorite artists
MJ's the Man!
Watched this all over and over again! I love you, Mike 💕 You're always in our hearts! Moonwalkers love you and miss you so much! 💖💋
Hello
How are you doing today?
you forgot to mention that he wanted to compose music for sonic 3 but he later left because the song didn't sound the way he want to (due to hardware limitations). he let sega use the unfinished track and chose not to be credited.
Sonic and Michael Jackson are my prized possessions
At 8 :39 my heart broke for him poor guy Michael hey Martin Bashir go hell
You missed a key piece of info. The Pepsi incident lead to Michael's addiction to painkillers. Which was what ultimately killed him.
SupremeJudge he just had to take his medicine a lot. Murray was paid to kill him,thats why he got only 2 years.
He was a good man, we miss you Michael
Favorite MJ video: Thriller (Obviously)
Favorite MJ song: Beat it (apart from the strong message few seem to comprehend, the beat is WICKED)
His music will transcend lifetimes!
Great short biography of Michael Jackson, one of my favorite artists.
#watchmojo
Shellyman Vol.2 short?? It's one of the longest ones!!!
They forgot the XSCAPE album
they said this is an old video, just remastered, so XSCAPE is not included.
it aint out yet. But I have hopes for it.
Xscape actually belongs to the Invincible album when it didn't made the final cut. Like the rest of the unreleased songs.
You should Re-do Daft Punks Life and career. No reason, I just love Daft Punk
you forgot to mention that Michael was a fan of the Simpsons, especially Bart, and that he wrote a rap song for Bart called, "Do The Bart-Man".

I will always love you, you are in my heart and soul for all infinity.
Your music is the greatest and for ever.
I will not forget you, may your spirit find it's way and rest in peace.
i LOVE michael jackson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
although there was some incorrect information (e.x. obsessing with plastic surgeries!, forgetting the HIStory tour which was greater than bad tour and u forget to mention that Martin Bashir's documentary was not completely telling the truth.) it was a really good job, thank u MOJO.
I agree with MJ more love :D, Less blowing up shit.
when king of pop died the music industry also died with him...😢😢😢😢😢
He is the best ever 15 awards one one album and that is the best selling one ever had the first or only i forgot what they said but to debut at number one just crazy his is one of 8 Billion witch is more than is on earth so thats how good wait great mj was R.I.P MICHAEL JACKSON
MJ is the best thing that ever happened to the music industry
MJ was not obsessed in plastic surgery. He broke his nose while filming WIZ. 😠😠😠
Alyssa Sosangyo not trying to be rude and i know he did not have many plastic surgeries but the burn accident could have harmed his brains i don't say it is true but it could have been so.
Swordmaster 69 When the pepsi accident happened his hair was burned so bad. So that's why he slept in the hyperbaric chamber to lessen the pain and to heal the wound quickly.
The tabloids always made fake news about MJ.
Alyssa Sosangyo that's true. i don't beliefe people who make money by ruining somebody's life.
@@alyssasosangyo889 he definitly had a lot of surgery. not as much as the media claims, but surely more than he admits.
No matter who you are where you from everybody likes at least one mj record!!
That's not true
I almost cried when I saw top 10 mj moments😥
Finally a biography that shows blood on the dance floor i LOVE that song. And i love that this video is unbiased. Thanks mojo!
What do you mean "knew" him as the king of Pop, he still is.
People are somewhat evil...
I was watching this is it on TV...
He was a humble guy.. He was apologies to his crew cause he having problem with his ear buds.. Thinking what people done later his years make me sick..
R.i.P Michael
We love you
+Pls End My Life yeah it's been playing on tv for years now
Thanks for this, WatchMojo!
there is not a lot of artists where i can say i love every single song by them! but MJ is one of them :)
i love michael jackson.😊
I had tickets to 'This is it'
Such a shame
Same. It was my birthday present. But know I still have them framed
somehow he owned my heart just by knowing him better. his song makes me feel like i know what it feels it's hurt so bad! i can't explain, people convert him to do something wrong. You inspired me to stay strong and unbreakable.
I relocated to Michael's hometown Gary Indiana just as Michael Jackson was slowly evolving in the legendary superstar he later became.
My biggest regret is I didn't buy enough of his collectible items.
There were a prolific amount of posters and Michael Jackson buttons and his fabled "glitter gloves" .
Yes I purchased a few of these small treasures but not enough.
I can still see the glitter gloves in a neat box sitting near the check out counters in the neighborhood supermarkets.
None of us were aware that Michael Jackson would become one the most influential singers of the late 20th century.
And something else I moved from a predominantly white city to Gary Indiana and looking back I remember the white radio stations didn't play music from Michael's album Thriller very often and very little was spoken about his amazing musical genius and immensely growing popularity.
It's only when I arrived in Gary indiana I was introduced to Michael Jackson Mania.
It was magical and spell binding if you only knew the atmosphere created by him back then.
I am proud to have witnessed the birth of THE AGE OF MICHAEL JACKSON AD
I love you Michael!!❤
RIP you music legend
There will never be another Michael Jackson. That is just a fact.
I love him so much
his doctor shouldn't gave him no drugs to take.But I still 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 Michael Jackson The King Of Pop
MJ was waaaaaay to much of a genius to let an idiot doctor give him drugs, I honestly believe, he's still alive, he wanted a normal life, now he has one.
Do you really know for sure? MJ would never take something like prescription drugs that could put his life in risk. (Just my thought)
Sorry, I just don't believe it. He was completely healthy, but lonely. He felt very alone, but it's his "death" story so people would believe it. Because most people thought he was a drug addict, and always lonely ALL THE TIME! But not me, he just wouldn't put his life in risk, or let someone else risk it.
I'm sorry if my *thoughts* are stupid to you, but I'll just leave you alone.
we will always love Michael rip we will miss you and thank you for being an inspiration to all of us
He was once in a lifetime superstar truly a great biography .
I liked mj in bille jean around that time
Apparently there is gonna be a new album released under the name Xscape.
***** Yes it is, Michael usually names his albums after one of his songs
This guy would sign as many autographs as his fans wanted him to as long as he had the time. He was truly humble and devoted to his fans.
I love how they played blood on the dance floor while talking about his dangerous album

Great job Mojo. Many props for such a well-researched and thoughtful retrospective of MJ's amazing career.
