This was made before the media and sharks started to tear Michael down. Nobody took into account that this man never lived a normal life. He tried to live a "normal" life, but it was impossible, especially as time went on. In the end he was truly a recluse who couldn't go anywhere without body guards, back doors and mobs. Remember, money does not buy happiness. His life is a perfect example. He had all the money that a person could want, yet he was still unhappy. RIP MJJ.
Michael Jackson was (and still is) so big that they had to make a tv special about how many fans he has.. I don't see that being done for many other artists. That's why Michael is and always will be the King Of Pop.
I was there through it all! Got my first Jackson 5 Album in 1972. The 70's were the DISCO years! They were fun, fun, fun. MJ's music at the beginning of this video was Disco before he became Pop.
That dude saying MJ was a con man was some BS. People like that must have been jealous of him or something. It's like they couldn't fathom a young man could be such a talented, rich superstar, *and* a sweetheart at the same time. MJ was special and it wasn't an act, that guy's a real douche for suggesting otherwise when he doesn't even know him.
Archangel Michael He's basically staying on code and saying, "This nigga is all hype and in due time he will be destroyed." That's white supremacy speaking nobody was supposed to be bigger or greater than their beloved Elvis in America.
@@NicolesView1984 Yes exactly. It was around 1983/1984 that the tide started to turn for michael and he started to face a backlash against him from the media. There was a more cynical attitude towards him that there wasn't with the success from the Off The Wall Album. That guy who said Michael was a con job sounds bitter as hell. I feel that when Michael bought the rights to the Beatles songs that was a step too far for the rock music journalists. There was a sense of collective outrage. How dare he? Who is he to think he can own the rights to the "holy grail" of pop music. Of course Paul McCartney makes everything worse by doing the media rounds playing the victim making out like mj had stabbed him in the back. Just awful.
Michael Jackson is not only cool he is tight 80s was the only good decade there was Rest in Heavenly Peace Michael Jackson. Michael Mania Yesterday, Today, Forever hands down.
The guy who called him a con job is a jerk. Michael is in the Guinness book of records for giving the most charity and you can’t do that by being a con man.
1. Jackson donated $500 million to charity and died $400 million in debt. 2. In 2005 employees from Neverland Ranch filed complaints with the State of California against Jackson because Jackson did not pay his employees for four months. Jackson was fined because he let the insurance for the employees run out. 3. The State of California ordered Jackson to pay his employees, which he did. After he paid them he fired them.
Elvis was the icon of 1950s. The Beatles were the icon of 1960s. Michael Jackson was the icon of 1980s. However the world had forgotten that the Bee Gees were the icon of 1970s.
There were some fans whose's obsession with Michael surpassed the screaming or the passing out. I'm talking about the really obsessed fans who inspired the song Billie Jean, the ones who used to break into his house or accuse him of being the father of their children. I created a video on my channel specifically about this, check it out if you're interested. I hope you enjoy it.
God how I wish I had that concert footage, this might of been before the Victory tour when stations used footage from the 80 and 81 tours, I have the same special on DVD
Wow, Michael's wearing one glove on the triumph tour, thought the first time he did that was thriller era. It's not White but still ( you can see it at 1:14 and later)
wow classic when mike walks out with his brothers he looks so focused ina zone he looks predatory and dangerous and handsome its sad he tore his face up so much . R.I.P MY BROTHER
@jasonROXcarlySUX Michael was OBVIOUSLY sincere. If you can't understand that then you don't have any business being on a video like this. I *know* what I'm talking about, but I'm not sure you do. Michael's appeal doesn't only extend as far as him being an entertainer. It's about his personality; his humility, his sweetness and generosity. He wasn't faking it, and when people say he was they're usually haters or full of shit. Denouncing MJ as a PERSON matters to me and countless others.
Michael was a visionary who could foresee the future in many instances. He probably was able to foresee that as his popularity grew there would be antagonism from some sources. I believe he worked extra hard to keep his image as clean as possible for that reason, but he was sincere in that, it was not a sham. Unfortunately, the more power he gathered, the more determined some people became to tear him down. And in the end I believe he was killed because of it.
MICHAEL IS NOT A MAN, NOT A HUMAN BEING, NOT AN ALIEN, NOT AN U.F.O., NOTHING OF THIS EARTH OR OTHER PLANETS OR ENTIRE UNIVERSE, IS NOT A KING NOT A WORLD STAR, NOTHING OF ALL THIS! MICHAEL IS SIMPLY A DIVINITY, HE’S ACTUALLY A GOD, THE GOD OF MUSIC DANCE AND SHOW. WE LOVE FOREVER HIM AS HE LOVES US, ALL HIS FANS! OH MICHAEL OUR BELOVED GOD OF MUSIC, BLESS US🙏🏻
love him the best entertainer of the world of all times .. but lol that newsreporter said he has been famous before boy george knew eyeliner lmao at that
@Famfriass Why put so much pressure on Beyonce? The whole music industry needs to be innovative. These young people today have NO Idea how huge MJ was and the impact he has made .This is due to the Wacko Jacko jokes they have grown up with for the past 20 yrs.
@unlimitedwebsite You heard right but what he meant was that people will hate disco, such as Michael Jackson, because MJ has a disco sound. He was saying MJ, not that MJ didn't like disco. What he said was kind of confusing though, I agree, lol. He just meant that even people who didn't like disco, liked MJ.
Can someone please help me out here...my 10-year-old son thinks the moonwalk is fake...he won't believe me but seems that he will always believe a total stranger. 🙄

Prince was better Purple Rain Purple rain "i neva wanna be your weekend lova, baby I could neva steal you from anotha" only want to see you laughing in the purple rain!! I loved both but Prince I loved a little more!
Many people didn`t like the fact that MJ in 1984 was allready the KING,that explains what happened later

It's really stupid for someone to be jealous of him. They should be INSPIRED! not jealous!
@@Masterminds.analysis I am inspired and proud of what he did
Wow. I love discovering rare footage of Michael.
Seeing him perform "Human Nature" always make my heart weak.
It's my favorite performance too!
this was the era baby! glad I was around when it was going down!!!!!

Same-it was incredible
By 1984 Michael jackson was already considered the Greatest, at the age of 25.
Let that sink in..
Underappreciated ❤
Don Cornelius called him a legend at 16.
king of pop also the king of the 80s no one like him

No BS think about it, the con man story isn't too far fetched. Nothing to do with race etc...And I am a huge MJ fan. But let's be real here.
@@NicolesView1984 Nobody was bigger than Elvis, Led Zeppelin and the Beatles. Do this day still, so what's your point?
Michael was perfect from childhood and his Magic captured the world then.
long live the king of pop

@@goldenface1731 led zeppelin....
Isn't Donny Osmond the icon of the 70's? I mean he was a heartthrob who had the fanatic fan girls chasing & screaming n crying moments at the time.
The Jackson 5 were the icons of the 70’s.
Stevie Wonder was the Artist and icon of the 70s
Miss him and I'm sooo proud of him❤❤🥺🥺👑👑👑🕊🕊
