He's so cute, soft spoken. Great humanitarian, very generous, oh Michael what more can you give? You gave to much, your music, your song, there will be no other Michael Jackson, and your legacy remains forever. The king of pop, the greatest entertainer of all time alived. Gone to soon, but never forgotten. Rest in peace my angel, you are now in good place.
@@ahad4488 I never thought about it really. We noticed his looks change, but none of it mattered to me. It was he aura, pure essence and soul that surpassed his outward appearance always. Michael was gorgeous from a child. I only wish he knew how beautiful he was.
@@sunni_side_up Well said! We, the fans from back in the day, really understood this point: "It was his aura, pure essence, and soul that surpassed his outward appearance always." ALWAYS! Really well said, Sunni D!👏👏👏
haddid it yes I saw the bad tour twice July 15&16 saw him once again in 1992 for the dangerous tour and for the final time I saw him in 1997 for the history tour
The media should be ashamed of the trash and garbage they put out there on him. Michael was a gift. I'm soooo glad I was born a year before Michael, since I was able from a little girl to watch him grow up to the beautiful Michael Jackson. There will never, ever be another Michael. I wish he was here now to see his impact. I have been a fan since day one and watched him grow into an incredible, charitable, loving person. And to become a dad. I will always be a MJ fan. I miss him every day as I am sure millions across the world miss him. RIP Michael Jackson, I hope now you are at peace because while you were here the media wouldn't let you have peace. RIP, King of Pop. And, the greatest entertainer that ever lived.❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love watching and listening to Michael he is such a unique amazingly incredibly talented artist he is the best and greatest entertainer and performer I love all his songs and dance moves Michael is such a great kind loving caring and giving man that ever lived on this Earth and I love him for who he is as a great person. I love you more Michael always in my heart. My superhero and my favourite pop star and artist and my best King Of Pop Rock and Soul Michael Jackson. 👑✌🏾✌🏻✌️🫶❤️💛♥️😍👑✌🏾✌🏻✌️🫶❤️💛♥️😍👑✌🏾✌🏻✌️🫶❤️💛♥️🕺🕺🕺🕺🥰🥰🥰🫶🫶🫶🫶❤️❤️❤️💛💛💛♥️♥️♥️♥️✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌️✌️✌️✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾🫶
That double looked absolutely nothing like Michael Jackson at all. The only similarity was that he was a black man with curly hair in a michael Jackson costume.
Well, everyone will always remember MJ and his gifts to the world, but no one will ever know/or care a lick about the rude journalist who kept calling him jacko 🤷🏼♀️
Of course reporters going by rumours instead of facts or asking Michael. He is who he was. What certain people expected of him idk? But thats what made him so big. He never tried copying others he was original on everything. People were just horrible to him. Its cuz weve never witnessed such fame and popularity and had he been another lionel ritchie or james ingram he wouldnt have been constantly attacked. I miss him.
The whole press becomes less becomes nothing in front of Michael Jackson's big name. As Michael himself said truth prevails. Press lies destroyed. No body believes press. I only believe you my dear sweetheart MJ
The thing bout michael jackson is he always morphed his image. Alot of people do this either cause they are bored with themselves or they change cause at thetime they feel like they should change or switch it up. Michael obviously had. A obssession with his image n trying sculpt himself into a intity. Its really a srlf identity thing. Alot of ordinary people go thru it. I feel like every look he did it was a beggening of a new era of time. Like i can look at michaels image over the years n tell u point blank wat year n wat album he was working on or wat tour he was doing.
The 2 ladies who said they prefer Michael with his brothers...!! 🤣🤣 Wonder if they still think that? The crowd would scream louder when his brothers walked off stage & Michael performed solo.. But I do enjoy seeing Marlon trying to mimic & dance like Michael, 🤣😅😆, at the 25 year Motown anniversary show, then even at Michael's 30th anniversary show at Madison Square Garden!! Kinda feel embarrassed for him, especially with him dancing in that outfit he was wearing at the 25 yr Motown show!!!
Austin Ochido The Pope is no body at all he ain't God he ain't Jesus he's just a wolf in sheep's clothing Jesus Christ is the only one to be worshipped there is Jesus than there is Michael jackson
The snobbery of these reports are hilarious. I guess snobbish retorts are all you can give to somebody that far surpasses anything they or anybody they know can do. Sheer envy.
Em pensar que neste tempo ele não sabia que a vida dele iria virar um verdadeiro inferno logo porque quatro anos na frente ele iria se mudar pro seu rancho Neverland e não ia demorar pra começar as falsas acusações é fico aqui a imaginar como este ser humano sofreu.... mesmo sendo inocente coitado
Verdade, e olha que nessa época a mídia já crucificava ele pela mudança da Cor da Pele e pelos comportamentos, em 1988 a mídia Britânica já chamava ele de "Wacko Jacko" bem antes das polêmicas mais a frente
Everytime i think of that damn catalog, that costed him his life. I feel so much anger towards those people. P.McCarthy whu didn't you just buy the damn thing when you had first offer.M.J. brought it fair and you went around acting as if he stole it from you and had the nerve to think he just shouldv'e gifted it to you, when it was just business! Sir Paul i blame you and i strongly believe you played a part in M.J. death! How do you sleep at night! Really? The songs weren't even that good! You really feel as though you have gotten away with it. Yes you do Sir Paul!
Yesss! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this way! I came to the realization that McCartney has a lot to do with MJ's ill treatment by the media. He thinks he got away but karma comes when you least expect it...
MJ and Pepsi great success except for his bad burn of his poor 🗣️ being burn so bad he needed pain meds which we no he was addicted to latter on in life sleep 💤 meds which he was murdered with.

Did you see him on any of his 3 solo tours

haddid it definitely the Bad Tour
@@therealzdeal5630 thought so. Energy looked much better than the other 2 and History's lip syncing was apparently v noticeable
Awww Michael was strong he lived a really hard life I wish I was his friend I would do anything for him and treat him with respect 😢😔😞💔😕

一個時代的真正巨星沒有人可與他相比
It's Michael Jackson NOT Jacko. This industry destroys lives.
I hate the way they treated him. So spiteful and vindictive.
Remember when the only celebrity on the news was only Michael Jackson everyday for many years before Kardashians, Bieber, Miley Cyrus etc.???
Yep
The whole press becomes less becomes nothing in front of Michael Jackson's big name. As Michael himself said truth prevails. Press lies destroyed. No body believes press. I only believe you my dear sweetheart MJ
Thank you for sharing that
Don't call him jacko bruuh!! That's not a good thing.. PLEASE! GIVE SOME RESPECT!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
MJ is legions ahead of Elvis,no comparison!!!
Damn right!

I like the MJ look alike guys!!! Good going, it is fun!! Michael to me is someone different, like the moon.
That guy looks NOTHING like Michael Jackson
chioma anona But he’s tryna emulate him. Everyone loved the man
Damn I've never seen Elton John past the 1970s without a hairpiece!!
Imagine if his mom is a Christmas baby and never celebrate her birthday because of a Jehovah witness religion,that would be heart wrenching!😭😭😭💔
The thing bout michael jackson is he always morphed his image. Alot of people do this either cause they are bored with themselves or they change cause at thetime they feel like they should change or switch it up. Michael obviously had. A obssession with his image n trying sculpt himself into a intity. Its really a srlf identity thing. Alot of ordinary people go thru it.

Like i can look at michaels image over the years n tell u point blank wat year n wat album he was working on or wat tour he was doing.
I remember these cynical reports from these days. Always vilifying him and insinuating a creepy bizarreness to everything Michael did
David Ford looks NOTHING like Michael... No! Smh 🤦🏾♀️
26:44 where is ? :(
