On 11th May 1996, a few days after performing "Earth Song" at the World Music Awards 1996 in Monaco, Michael Jackson went to Germany to inaugurate a new roller coaster in the "Phantasialand" amusement park in Brühl, near Cologne. Michael apparently had some input in the creation of the roller coaster (see 11:08), so it was called "The Michael Jackson Thrill Ride". ( At the same time Michael also made headlines because all of his upcoming HIStory Tour concerts in Germany had been cancelled. More about that topic (and the happy end) in this other video: ua-cam.com/video/VmZ-k1daczg/v-deo.html ) In this video: 00:00 1996-05-11 RTL Nachtjournal ...MJ at book store in Cologne 00:30 1996-05-11 ZDF Heute Journal ...MJ at Phantasialand 02:18 1996-05-11 RTL Explosiv Weekend ...MJ at Phantasialand 08:31 1996-05-13 ARD Brisant ...MJ at Phantasialand 10:49 1996-05-13 Pro 7 SAM ...MJ at Phantasialand 11:34 1996-05-11 (stock footage) ...MJ at Phantasialand English subtitles on all clips. ▶▶▶ more HIStory era TV news clips PLAYLIST: ua-cam.com/play/PLHtVErmOSbgOICDVI76ticxMsvMixxDpQ.html
Odio tanto cuando veo que lo llamaban "jacko" Joder se llamaba MICHAEL JACKSON! Y fue el mejor artista y ser humano que pudo tener este mundo. Él fue un dulce angel💜💫
I live a little more than an hour away from phantasialand (I live in the Netherlands, near the border of Germany) and my boyfriend works at a roller coaster making company. They opened a new ride, which my boyfriend has helped to work on, last year in Phantasialand, which gave me and him free tickets to go there. I went in this ride too. I remember thinking the whole time "Oh my god, Michael has been in this ride too!" while I was on it. It's an awesome ride. Together with the new one and another roller coaster that's inside, this one definitely makes the top 3 of my favorite rides in Phantasialand🎉🎉
@caddieohm7059 Cool right? The company he worked for, Vekoma, also made the Colorado Adventure and Michael helped design that one, so, my bf has a funny indirect link to Michael there

The press always said that, but I was 16 and I don't know that it was not a normal nickname 😢I really hope, that I don't wrote it in my fan letter, I dont remember 🙈
I think it was his main market at the time, "Earth Song" and "They Don't Care About Us" were his biggest hits here ever. So lots of appearances to do, to keep the fire going. In the USA, "Earth Song" wasn't even released as a single for whatever reason.
Wenn tust du eine Reportage, dann sagt man keine Jaco..... beleidigend war immer!!!!!!! Sollte man der Künstler Name nennen nur Typ für dich , der Künstler hier heißt Michael Jackson!!!!!! Besonders der größte Künstler in ganzen Welt.
So ist es. Aber wärst du damals (1996) Fan gewesen, hättest du ihn, wie ich und viele andere Fans, vielleicht auch Jacko genannt. Es wusste hier damals niemand, dass das irgendwas anderes als ein harmloser Spitzname ist.
Wie respektlos kann man eigentlich sein, Ihn “Jacko” zu nennen?! Ich glaube, manche Menschen verstehen die Bedeutung des Namens nicht. Es ist beleidigend und somit Respektlos! Außerdem “Jacko Maniacs” ?! Ernsthaft? Was Ihr da abgezogen habt, ist einfach nur ekelhaft.
Ja, der Ton der Boulevard-Medien und Feuilletons war damals meistens respektlos. Aber ich denke nicht, dass sich das bei den deutschen Moderatoren / Sprechern durch Benutzung von "Jacko" ausgedrückt hat. Das eine Interview von 1997 (!), in dem Michael das Thema erstmals ansprach, hat kaum ein Normalo mitbekommen. Als Fan ist man natürlich immer schlauer. Vor allem jetzt, wo man seit einigen Jahren auch wissen kann, dass "Jacko" im britischen Slang einen historisch rassistischen Hintergrund hat. Aber selbst in UK wird das kaum ein Normalo wissen. Der weiße australische Schauspieler Hugh Jackman wird übrigens auch "Jacko" genannt. Für die meisten ist und war das einfach ein Spitzname.
Lots of explanations so let me add one more- he had lupus and as a result his immune system was weakened. He was more susceptible to illness and infection so he wore a mask to protect against germs.
Das ist aber keine freundliche Medienberichterstattung. Weiß noch wie MJ früher kritisiert und in den Dreck gezogen wurde. Hauptsache Schlagzeile. Bevor man hier überall PR unterstellt, soll man auch Mal bedenken, wie ernst MJ seine Musik genommen hat und wodurch er letztendlich so populär geworden ist

As a German, I apologize for the condescending tone of the German media in this video. Embarassing. I will just continue watching this on mute ...
same, shame on German press.
Yeah, German media treated MJ horrible. I am journalist myself and was disgusted by their mocking. Muting is a adequate method.

Is not " Jacko " is Michael Jackson 👊😠
The press always said that, but I was 16 and I don't know that it was not a normal nickname 😢I really hope, that I don't wrote it in my fan letter, I dont remember 🙈
Why dutch tv hosts keep saying "jacko"?? He's a JACKSON not a JACKO
Am i the only one who realized it??
They're not Dutch. They're German. Dutch people I don't think ever called him Jacko directly. The Germans definitely did at the time.
Все любят. Джексона весь мир и это наш бог от него только излучается любовь надежда красота
why these reporters always saying jacko?! is it a more professional to say by his real name?! much easy to say and respectful...
I love youuuu mykol
Croroeee onieeie😭♥️♥️♥️
He is having fun there.. 😂😂😂 but the fans are dying😂😂😂.. mj needed more privacy...❤❤❤
I wonder why MJ was in Europe alot in early 1996?
I think it was his main market at the time, "Earth Song" and "They Don't Care About Us" were his biggest hits here ever. So lots of appearances to do, to keep the fire going. In the USA, "Earth Song" wasn't even released as a single for whatever reason.
@@Visionary also Ghosts was only released in overseas but not in 🇺🇸 😂😂
I think Europe gave him a lot of love, at least more than the USA

"I'm not Jacko

It was 3 days
er ist nicht Jacko nur Jackson bitte?
12:41 Sarah Connor war mit 16 offensichtlich auch Michael Jackson Fan Girl 🙂
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Extremely mad public for M.J 😲

How are these people able to squeeze the word "Jacko" out of their mouths, smiling like nothing is happening?
Because they don't know it's anything but a nickname.
Wenn tust du eine Reportage, dann sagt man keine Jaco..... beleidigend war immer!!!!!!!
Sollte man der Künstler Name nennen nur Typ für dich , der Künstler hier heißt Michael Jackson!!!!!! Besonders der größte Künstler in ganzen Welt.

Ja. Sie ist mehrfach zu sehen.
Sein Name ist michael jackson und nicht jacko

Why did he wear a mask?
To avoid the noisy press people
He had a lung disease
He was afraid of getting sick and also the press mocking his face
Lots of explanations so let me add one more- he had lupus and as a result his immune system was weakened.
He was more susceptible to illness and infection so he wore a mask to protect against germs.
Das ist aber keine freundliche Medienberichterstattung. Weiß noch wie MJ früher kritisiert und in den Dreck gezogen wurde. Hauptsache Schlagzeile.

Don't call him Jacko😢
Billie Jean
Jackson no jacko
er ist kein jacko nur Jackson!
jup ganz klar ein Double ........ scheiße sind die Leute hängengeblieben ey -.-
Mit dem "Ist er's, ist er's nicht?" wurden damals so einige Sendeminuten gefüllt. 😅
