    Yeah Michael really liked Peter Pan (you know the story of the boy who didn't want to grow up), and remember that interview from 1983 at his family home, he was singing a Peter Pan song 😊 Michael said he was Peter Pan in his heart

    he was a bit closed off in this interview cus he lost trust with journalists/the media and its been a very long time since his last one, but as the years went on he becomes more open even tho the media became more and more vicious. actually it took less than a month.
    this one took place in september 1987. the last one you reacted to was in november 1987 and he was already much more relaxed.

    Michael spoke up a lot later on, but he was going through some things at this in life and didn’t want to answer personal questions. He was closed off from his family at this time, which help allow a lot predators in his inner circle.

    You have to understand at this time Michael Jackson decided to go on his first tour. He turned himself into a pop star machine right after his Bad Album was released back in 87. I saw the Bad Tour back in 1988 in Europe. It was the first time I saw him live and in action. It was like looking at the perfect show. His demeanour was positively vibrant. He gave his all to the end. I have respect for Michael's work. He inspired me on my journey in the music industry and Entertainment machine over the years. I saw him live on all his major solo tours after that.

    Michael Jackson was good hearted person. So he probably was sensitive towards others feelings. He doesn't play with his gifts. I love that about him. He says that about his lyrics, because its true. He believes in a Supreme being. Money can always come working towards a focus target.

    I love the interview that his friend Brett Ratner did with Michael in 2004. It's a very personal interview. No boulevard questions, but Michael talking about his music, his career, his inspirations, among other things.

    I think it was a bit personal and Michael must have told Frank he just didn't want to address these rumors, he didn't have time for that cause he thought it was so ridiculous and would go away soon. His manager would also give statements Michael would tell him to say in his name to the press and he even said that Michael didn't like to do press statements cause he was always "grossly misquoted", he was trying to help Michael :( he would open up more later cause it would become too much for him and it would get serious as well.

  • @Milkers777

    You have seen Frank during the shadows where him and MJ handshakes during the Short Film “Another Part Of Me” and this is the Era where MJ was dealing with alot of rubbish media/tabloid junk false stories about his surgical procedures and this is before the public’s knowledge on his private medical conditions like the fact he had Vitiligo which wasn’t known much about,lupus and then he had major migraine headaches cause of his 2nd & 3rd degree burns to his scalp this is when things form the media kinda got ridiculous from this point on so please don’t believe any of it!👑💯

  • @roseclarity1493

    Knowing what I know about how different things played a factor into how he felt about his appearance, from the way his dad treated him, to having to deal with lupus (we only found out about that after he died) and vitiligo (he doesn't even talk about that till the '90's Oprah interview) and the issues he went through as a teen growing up and feeling rejected because he wasn't a cute little kid anymore I don't have an issue with him letting Frank address the questions about his plastic surgery and appearance. It was a sensitive subject for him, and I think he may have had some body dysmorphia where he couldn't see himself for how he actually looked, so his changing appearance was always a subject he avoided if he could. In his autobiography I think he admitted to 2 nose surgeries and a chin cleft. He attributes his changing skin color at that time to lighting differences. I don't think he knew how to address this subject simply because he was in denial and couldn't really see himself. I forgive any avoidance or flat out lying he did about this subject. It was his own business imo and he didn't want people picking at it.

    The film "The Wiz" (1978) is a musical version of "The Wizard of Oz" with differents songs from the 1939 version. With Diana Ross as Dorothy, Michael as the Scarecrow and many others.

    “The wiz” is a 1978 movie u should watch if u want. It’s inspiration is from “the wizard of oz” the movie. Diana Ross plays “dorthy” and Micheal plays “the scarecrow” in that movie. That was when Micheal met Quincy jones for the first time and make the off the wall album

    Just one information about what Quinshit said about Sokratis-Sokrates. You may call him Socrates in English, but in Greek (i am Greek like Socrates) his original name is Sokratis with the tone on A, exactly just like Michael called him.

    How in the twelve years of being Michael Jackson's fan I've never seen this interview?!😲😲My mind is blown right now!! And You are right, they are already painting the image of him being child like (not in the good way)...And let's remember, those are the times way before the internet, when the only way You could see or learn anything about Michael were either newspapers or TV, so it's no brainer that everyone saw the narrative those media wanted to create about him and with him being so keen on being private and shy a lot of people believed (and sadly still do) the rumors (however ridiculous they weren't)😢

    I do believe during this period he was at odds with his family having gone solo. There was quite a lot of publicity about rivalry with his brother Jermaine. So moving away from the shelter of his family I think he was very cautious about what he said because it might be misconstrued. He said he didn't want to fuel these rumours. Also his first nose surgery was as a result of a broken nose after a fall. Being sensitive about the size of his nose as a teenager he also did a reduction. Afterwards he had to do corrective surgeries because his breathing and singing was affected.

    • @Milkers777
      @Milkers777 7 місяців тому +3

      Yes and he would eventually leave the Jehovah’s Witness as well which became a major change throughout MJ’s life. Don’t forget he also had Lupus which also effects the lung capacity and also creates scar tissue which he needed reconstructive surgery in order to fix the damage skin etc.

    This interview was the same year as the other one it was 1987 but this one like a fast interview backstage as entertainment tonight ( ET ) show doing now not like the other 1 you reacted to yesterday its highlights of his career so far personally i prefer his mood this one he seems more relaxed and happier even though it's not giving you much about Michael its normal general questions about his music .. Michael interview with oprah 1993 was something else it's about his personality and thinking more than his music although i hate that she asked him some Inappropriate questions but personally oprah interview takes the cake for me its the best interview you can ever watch for Michael i bet you will going to watch it more than once but its early because you have to finish dangerous album first 😅 but thank you seph for reacting to this one i loved every minute of it waiting already for the next MJ reaction 😂❤❤

Even I had a trouble doing it at first back in 2021 when I was 11 years old. But that same year I did it and I got really better at it a year later. That’s why I became an mj fan and learned about him and his life becuz of the spins and the moonwalk he does. I can imitate mj really good. And to all of his songs :)

    Mj admitted to two nose jobs and a chin surgery in his book moonwalker but he actually had 3-4 nose jobs plus reconstructive surgery’s for lupus mostly also he changed his makeup routines a lot and his changing skin color probably contributed a lot

    • @glamourisbest
      @glamourisbest 7 місяців тому +4

      He had two nose jobs. The problem was that since he had lupus, he didn’t heal properly. That is the reason why he had to have reconstructive surgeries on his nose multiple times to repair the scar tissue that was building so much that he couldn’t breathe anymore. On the making of the Black and White video, you can see the divets on his nose that were indications of the scar tissue forming inside.
      This also explains why he still had a painful wound from his Pepsi accident in 1983 as late as 2008. He was still being bothered by it up to his death. With lupus, you just don’t heal properly, which is unfortunate.

  • @esraa-elgezawy2001

    Hey seph ❤❤❤nice reaction 🌹
    Here is some notes i got ....
    1) I really wish i was an interviewer at his time . I'd ask ask him about every single detail in every single song he did ✨✨✨because the questions he was asked was so shallow and too personal are coming as well which get on my nerves really
    2)the wiz was a movie he did when he was about 18 or 20 with Diana Ross it was before off the wall album and it was the beginning of the relationship between Michael and quincy John's.
    3)Frank dileo was Michael's manager and a friend at that time , personally i don't prefer him talking for Michael as well but may be that's Michael order not to answer at these kinds of questions ( idk though but Michael talked about the plastic surgery topic very clearly in his autobiography 'moonwalk' he released in 1988 )
    4)and the best thing i love most about Michael that he really cared u can see it u can feel it and later on it will show more in his songs so he made u feel that ' yeah i feel what u are going through and it's affecting me as well ' he was this type of artist that speak about topics he doesn't need to speak about (for example he had his private jet at 24. so yeah he spend the first years of his life in small house and these stuff but compared to the years he lived in fancy life he should've know nothing about poor people but no he would write we are the world , he would donate looooots of money to charity and poor people and there are some more he did ) and that one of the reasons people love him so much at that time or he even now ❤❤❤
    5)And about the children topic u know i know this topic after listened to half of Michael's albums and footage and i didn't buy it for a second as i saw in his eyes the purity and happiness when he talked about them i didn't see something uncomfortable u know and im that judgemental to the artists but they choose the best way to destroy him 💔💔💔
    So that's was my notes for u today i hope u like them 🌹🌹🌹
    U know seph i dream of the day u will upload 2 Michael's videos every day for one week hahaha... And we will call that week ' the magic week' 😂😂😂

    I love how he is described as a rockstar "without the sex and drugs" lol. Please. I buy the no drugs part, of course. But the no sex part is such an insane presumption that followed him for years. I've never bought it for a second. How can there be "no sex" when he himself IS sex on stage? Lol
    But in all seriousness, I like all of his interviews and interactions with Molly. Michael was selective with the journalists he spoke to and would often repeat the same ones. But it's painful to be a Michael fan in this sense. Here we have this beautiful, brilliant, gentle genius of a person, and his interviews rarely dip beneath the superficial and are increasingly laced with disrespect the more time passes. Once you get to the 90s there are three primary interviews that stick out as offensive to me. It's pathetic. Once again, poor Michael.

    • @Anaabella-ey1

      I mean he isn't really wrong though, Michael didn't really use sensuality on stage consciously or not on purpose at least since he said when he did his movements he was only feeling the music and not thinking about looking sexual or something like that, so even though some of his dancing on stage may appear sexual he wasn't really doing it with that intention, like many other artists did at that time, does what I'm saying make any sense? 😂
