 LOVE it November 12, 2009
Lester B. Horne Jr. (New Orleans, LA USA)
Love it - so much that I came back to amazon to order another as a christmas gift and ordered a diffrent one in the series for my self. I love Mike.
EXCELLENT! November 10, 2009
big Ry (New York City)
Excellent collection of Michael's videos. My brohter bought a copy and I watched it and loved it so much I bought my own. Yea Michael Jackson!
 Michael can't do anything small...CAN HE? November 8, 2009
Freelan Justice (West Virginia, USA)
TEASER - This is why I say that Michael can't do anything small. Just watch it and you'll see what I mean. He takes something as small as a music video DVD release and turns it 360 degress with this teaser into a whole lot more than that. Only Michael, folks, only Michael.
BILLIE JEAN - Motown 25. Live. Michael Jackson and Billie Jean. They go together perfectly. And when you can see the wheels in Michael's head turning, you know that something special is about to happen -- and that's when the debut of the moonwalk -- very spontaneously -- happens. Very historic performance, very historic that I'm glad that they put on this DVD.
BEAT IT - This is one of the video's that broke the color barrier on MTV, and it has very good reason to have done so. I love the plot of Michael breaking up a gang fight by using the power of dance -- only Michael could get by with this stuff, in all honesty.
LIBERIAN GIRL - I love all of the celebrity guest appearances -- we even get a guest appearance from Bubbles! Everybody is looking around for Michael, and then he descends from the sky on a camera. So simple, yet very effective...and actually quite fun.
SMOOTH CRIMINAL - This is one of Michael's most known songs, and one of the more beloved from the perfect Bad album. And this video is proof of why. It's the full moonwalker version, and it contains the ever famous anti-gravity lean. When I was younger, this video didn't make any sense to me, but now that I'm older and finally understand what I'm seeing, I can say that I really do appreciate and love this video.
1995 MTV VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS PERFORMANCE - Wow. Michael is DEFINITELY the greatest entertainer that ever lived. Songs include "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough," "The Way You Make Me Feel," "Jam," "Scream," "Beat It," "Black Or White," "Billie Jean, "Dangerous," and "You Are Not Alone." This is 15 minutes, 16 at most, and Michael simply does not stop. He proves here that he's the greatest entertainer in the world.
THRILLER - You can't make a Michael Jackson video collection WITHOUT including this video. I'm sure it's been on all of them (except for Dangerous) in the past, and I'm sure that it'll be on all of them in the future. This is the ultimate music video, and, for that matter, it's the ultimate Michael Jackson video. So it HAS to be included here.
Now we flip it to side two...
SCREAM - The most expensive video at the time of it's making, featuring his sister Janet, Scream looks like technology come to life...especially for 1995 it looks like technology come to life. You can tell that Michael and Janet are having the time of their lives, too, which is always something good to see.
CHILDHOOD - The theme from Free Willy 2, the video doesn't really do much for me. Quite possibly my least favorite video on the entire collection, but that's not saying that it's a bad video. It just, to me anyway, doesn't feel too much like a typical Michael Jackson video.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE - I LOVE this video. This video just has to be seen to be believed. Trust me, for 1995, THIS is Michael at his absolute best!
THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT US - Ah, this was so controversial. It actually had two video's made for it, but the one included on this disc is the publicly released video. It'd have been much more cool if they'd have included the banned video, but I love the song and I love the video, so I'm not going to complain too much.
STRANGER IN MOSCOW - Remember what I said about "You Are Not Alone?" Now, take that down here, change the title to "Stranger In Moscow," and you have my thoughts on this video.
BLOOD ON THE DANCE FLOOR - It's HIStory in the mix, ya know? I love this video. It just goes and goes and goes and goes -- and then, when you think it's done, it goes even more! Michael simply doesn't stop -- of course -- and the atmosphere of the video is completely awesome. One of my favorites on this set.
BRACE YOURSELVES - Yep. You should always brace yourself when it comes to Michael Jackson, because you never know WHAT in the world is going to happen!
Angel on Earth He Was November 1, 2009
Lakeisha Harrod
To me, this is the best MJ DVD to have for devoted Michael Jackson fans. Michael sends us the message beyond the grave that he loves us and we should always remember that. This magnificant work also shows Michael's fun playful side, as well as his serious side, and his great, dedicated humanitarian efforts. We have lost a true angel on earth, but we can rest assured knowing that he is an angel in heaven.

If you want to see an incredible musical genius then you should own this compilation. The Michael Jackson history on film volume II is amazing. But if you love Michael Jackson then you should already know that. The teaser is tremendous with Michael surrounded by military guards like the king that he truly is, it then goes into the motown 25 performance. This performace is the birth of an icon, many of Michael's signature moves are seen here for the first time including the moonwalk. The dvd includes some of his most famous short films: smooth criminal, thriller, and beat it; all ground breaking and all phenomemal. The dvd also includes the rarely seem videos librarian girl and a stranger in moscow. The dvd also includes one of Michael's greatest MTV performance which is a combination of some of his greatest hits and includes the guitarist Slash. The one downside to the dvd is that it is placed on two side instead of one. The second side includes his duet with sister Janet, and the song childhood which Michael has always recommended as a way for all to get to know who he truly is. Another video on the dvd is earth song, which highlightes one of Michael's greatest passions which is to heal the world by taking better care of the planet. The video happens to be one of the most requested short films of all time. The dvd also contains one of Michael's most controversial songs "they dont care about us" It is a good idea to get both volume one and two of the history collection, it makes for an almost complete collection of the superstar.
