Below is a summary of each video/peformance: TEASER- This commercial for the HIStory album is just as extravagant as one of Michael's music videos. Featuring Michael himself amidst thousands of soldiers, you can't go wrong with this. AWESOME! BILLIE JEAN (Performance from Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, and Forever)- This shocking performance earned Michael Jackson an Emmy nomination and started the Moonwalking craze that lives on today. CLASSIC! BEAT IT- This video, which was also featured on HIStory: Video Greatest Hits Vol. 1, is a classic from THRILLER. Featuring real gang members and stunning choreography, this video is a must-have! LIBERIAN GIRL- This video from BAD is VERY rare. I did not know it even existed before I bought this tape. Features cameos from Whoopi Goldberg, Richard Dreyfuss, Danny Glover, and even Bubbles! SMOOTH CRIMINAL- There are many versions of this music video, but the one on...

"We wanted a tough album," producer Quincy Jones recalls in a bonus interview on this special edition of Bad. Though the 1987 blockbuster would appear to be Michael Jackson's most personal statement to date--9 of its 11 cuts were written solely by him--its appeal also rested more on craft than the idiosyncratic art of Thriller and Off the Wall. At the same time, most of Bad has aged well in spite of its digital brittleness and MIDI treatments of gems like Jimmy Smith's organ solo on the title track. While the third best of his first three Epic solo discs, Bad carries a lot of what people love about Jackson's music. This disc also benefits from two fine outtakes, the exciting, uptempo "Streetwalker" and the Carpenters homage "Fly Away." Either could easily have extended the record's run of hit singles. --Rickey Wright

This review is from: Bad (Spec) (Audio CD) I know some of you are going to say it's just plain sacrilegious but hey, just because everybody jumps into the lake.... "Thriller" is a great album with great tracks and because of a variety of fortunate reasons e.g. timeliness, MTV etc, has become the biggest selling album of all-time but that doesn't mean that everything else that MJ comes up with later that doesn't sell as much is crap. In fact, this is the album when MJ's weirdness first became pretty obvious. "Hey! Is that really Michael on the cover?" was my reaction as well but I chose to look beyond the looks and not to judge the book by the cover and just listened to the tunes. Some of my favourite MJ songs ever are on this disc. "The Way You Make Me Feel" is an MJ classic and clearly among his top 5 ever songs. "Smooth Criminal" was always a great track even before Alien Ant Farm showed us why, "Liberian Girl" and "Man in the Mirror" are also great tracks and the rest of the tracks cannot be called...

A little too young when Thriller was at it's peak it was the relative pop perfection of "Bad" that appealed to this young child and a few million other new inductees. This is not to say it doesn't stand up to repeated listenings by the more critical adult ears though... it very much does. The title track kicks things off in boastful style, with MJ assuring he's "Bad". This big hit was initially hoped to be a duet with 80s rival Prince however the line "Your butt is mine..." meant the MPLS Genius was less than enthused. ;) "The Way You Make Me Feel" is a catchy pop effort, recently re-immortalised in his excellent single "Rock My World" (Both concept wise and video scenario). "Speed Demon" is amongst the more experimental music on "Bad" with it's clunking chain sample and unusual tempo. It all works well however as Producer...

After all, it was the biggest selling record in history and spent a remarkable 37 weeks at No.1 on the US chart. So along came 1987, and with it, Michael's long-awaited follow up, "Bad." It's a well-known fact that it wasn't as good as Thriller, but it's definitely still an excellent and classic record too - and 25 million sales prove it, even if this was only half of its predecessor. As with all Michael Jackson albums, "Bad" spawned a string of massive worldwide hits which topped the charts worldwide and set new trends, broke records and revolutionized the way the world listens to music. Bad contains an impressive eight singles that were released in the UK. Bad opens with the superb title track, "Bad." As the second single to be taken from this album, the song peaked at No.3 in the UK and was another...

This review is from: Michael Jackson - Live in Japan (DVD) I wanted to see concert footage other than the all too well known Bucharest dvd with footage that showed more of the audience than Michael and his band (except when they were doing dance moves.) While that DVD is good it's not the Michael I like to see performing nor the Michael I am used to seeing perform. This particular DVD concert footage doesn't have the familiar song lineup. Not too much out the norm but there are songs from the J5 days. Not just the cute little J5's medley (I'll be there, I want you back, The love you save, etc.) but the young adult J5's. Songs like 'It's the things I do for you', 'Shake your body down', 'Lovely one' and 'Heartbreak Hotel'. This is more of the type of concert I like because he not only danced his butt off but he sings too. Many people forget he could actually sing...and well! He mixes up his dance moves but he doesn't forget to sing here and it's a real treat. Although, by the time he gets to 'Billy Jean' he's a little winded from...

This review is from: Michael Jackson - Live in Japan (DVD) Been a Michael fan as long as I can remember hearing the Jackson Five. I'm guessing aroung 1975. I've seen Michael perform a song or two live over the years, but other than the very short Destiny Tour on VHS, and the lip-synched Dangerous DVD, this is by far the best Michael concert I've ever seen. Michael sings very well with absolutely no lip-synching at all. The band is tight, the dancers are on point. Michael looks good and healthy, and is in fine form. Great energy from him throughout, especially given the often rapid pace of his dancing and singing. Set list was the best I've ever personally seen from him. Dangerous Tour DVD had too many songs I didn't really care for. This is the Michael I know and loved. I will admit the picture quality could have been better. There were a few brief minor gliches and lasted maybe a split second. For the most part everything looked good. There were enough close-ups for me personally. No 5.1 audio, but the stereo sound played well on by tv and...

Smith (South Texas) - See all my reviews    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?) This review is from: Michael Jackson - Live in Japan (DVD) I enjoyed watching Michael Jackson perform some of his all-time greatest hits. This DVD contained outdoor concert performances during Jackson's 1987 "Bad Tour." Michael performed two concert dates while he was in Yokohama, Japan. (Note: Michael's "Bad" album wasn't released until August 31, 1987 which contained the song, "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" -- towards the end of "Shake Your Body Down," a caption was listed for Yokohama Stadium, Sept 26, 1987). The "Bad Tour" was Jackson's first solo tour (without his brothers), so this concert footage clearly wasn't recorded in "1985." Michael's magical showmanship is undeniable during his energetic performances. Sheryl Crow is featured as one of Jackson's back-up singers. She accompanied Michael in a duet, singing "I Just Can't Stop Loving You." I thought they performed well together on stage. The DVD's overall picture and sound is not top quality, but its still worth it to have in your Michael Jackson collection. The...
