I got this DVD for 3 videos only. If you arent a collector I suggest you get HIStory on Film 1 & 2 or, as the editing of this review, Vision instead since most videos included on this DVD are edited/shortened versions of ones shown on TV in the 80s and 90s, with the exception of Thriller. Man in the Mirror - A powerful montage juxtaposing news footage and images of people and places in need with people in power who've made a difference in the world. It's a somber departure from the version shown in Moonwalker and was one of the few music videos that really had a impact on how I viewed and interacted with the world around me. It's not for the faint of heart but it is from a place deep within Michael's heart. Smooth Criminal - Most people write this video off simply because it doesnt showcase the choreography while speeding through key scenes and replacing others with footage from the storyline in Moonwalker. But from a video editing standpoint it is one of the more cleverly edited pieces of work and really inspires people like me with its tempo timing. Dirty Diana - Michael opt out of his usual big budget film production styled videos and went back to his roots, performing live on stage. The raw and unrestrained charismatic energy captured in this footage is the epitome of Michael as an unequaled performer. Other short films of note are Blood on the Dance Floor and You Rock My World both of which seen on this DVD for the first time. My only complaint is with the packaging, instead of getting a booklet of screencaps with some info about each video, all we get is a single-sided 'table of contents' sheet. If I didnt purchase this from a store, I would have thought I had been ripped off with a bootleg copy.Read full review
Eeeeee hewwww, I like Mike. "Ahhhh oooo wah"(oops, that's Prince, not Michael). This dvd is a thriller. Most of Michael Jackson's biggest hits are here, the only disappointment was Smooth Criminal which seems to have changed a bit from the video they used to show on MTV. It could be my imagination. I bought it for my friend Billie Jean (who's not my lover by the way); she likes MJ more than I do. Watching them again brought back memories of his real talent, eeeeeeeeeeeee hew.
Great DVD ! Came fast& in great shape I played it many times for me & Friends! Love it

I Love this DVD!!! It starts with a young Michael Jackson,Don't Stop 'til You get Enouph, early in his career. Rock with You is very simply done, just Michael and a backdrop of light. I think he divides into three of himself, cool. We don't really want to see anyone else, do we? Then it progresses to Billie Jean which In my opinion shows Michael at the height of his Superstardom. He is Quick on his feet and he has perfected his look and his style. He is so beautiful!! Beat it is a full scale production number and Michael has many back up dancers and camera men to enhance the action. He still amazes with his unique timing and dance. Thriller is overkill, but we love it!! The full version is here in all it's scary glory!John Landis helped to write the story and Vincent Price does a mean Voice over!! Bad, I think was directed by Martin Scorscesi and it is in color, but I like to think of it as black and white and raw. The Way You Make Me Feel is an extension of Bad, showing Michael as a street tough, an image that becomes a little bit of a stretch for him at this stage of the game. Still, the level of his talent is above and beyond anything else that has been done before or since. Man in the Mirror is very fitting for this time in our lives. Michael will meet his maker tonight... are we ready to meet ours? He asks us this and I think he means it!! Smooth Criminal is a new experience for me and probably for Michael as well!!!this video is loaded with all the effects Hollywood has to offer, slow-mo Fast Forward, laser fast edits and blurs make Michael's performance over shadowed by it all. Dirty Diana is HOT!! It is hard driving and does not let up!!!We are back to basics and Michael performs his @ss of with the help of a great back up band and the only special effects here is a wind machine!!! Anyway we are more than halfway there and there is more to come!! Black or white with its incredible morphing effects is produced to the max , but still when Michael Jackson is on camera, he will never fail to mesmerize. You Are Not Alone is a sweet side of Michael on Video. This is when he was married to Lisa Marie and she joins him nude in this history making video. Earth Song is a protest and a strong message song. He has the means now to put his message out there. It is strong and not pretty. It makes me think that he is in a better place now. I had a copy of this DVD and when Michael Passed away today I decided to sell it on ebay. I watched it one more time before letting it go... Well, I enjoyed it so much that I purchased two of these DVD's to replace the one I listed!!! Go Figure!!!!???? Blood on the Dance Floor finds Michael back at the disco, no special effects to speak of, just a good beat and alot of fashionable people dancing with the King of POP!! You Rock My World pits Michael against some very nasty looking gangsters Soprano Style. He Dances them to death, but not before he steals the girl!!This is a long number and he delivers the dance and the anger with a bottle smashing scene.You Rock my world closes this extravaganza with a full blown movie style video complete with a guest shot by Marlon Brando. We will never see another like Michael Jackson. May he rest in Peace and find the happiness in the next world that eluded him in this one. I know for a fact that I will miss him emmensely. I won't be alone, but when I am feeling the loss, this DVD will bring him back for an hour or more and that is Magic!!Read full review
It is exactly what I wanted I love Michael Jackson!
