Summary: WOW! Absolutely Brilliant
Review: Just thinking of the videos and music in this video from the KING OF POP brings a smile to my face every time. On this video there is only a handful of MJ's Greatest videos of all time. Why? Because the man is a legend when it comes to videos that there wouldn't be a tape long enough to show all his masterpieces. From the greatest video of all time - "Thriller" - to the special effect dazzling "Remember the Time". There is everything on this video for an MJ fan. Pop HIStory on one tape, what more could you want?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Some of the greatest videos ever made
Review: Many people around my age (teenagers) don't even know most of what Michael Jackson did now and to me thats really sad. Well I'm a big fan of Michael Jackson and have been since I was five. Michael Jackson showed us that actions can speak louder than words. His videos have a way of showing you what its all about.

BILLIE JEAN is a video that struck me as something never to forget. All the videos are spectacular because The King of Pop does something you don't much of anymore, DANCING!

THE WAY YOU MAKE ME FEEL is a video that again won't be soon forgotten and once again shows that lyrics aren't everything and that love triumphs. Not to mention that this ia also a video about being yourself.

BLACK OR WHITE is a video telling us how bad racism can be but it shows that color skin doesn't matter. At the end where he does the panther dance (one of his best dances ever I think!) you see him smash a car that has racial graffiti all over it and see him smah windows that have other graffiti.

There are many others including what I think is his best, THRILLER. Also another good one was DON'T STOP TIL YOU GET ENOUGH from one of his earliest albums.

I'd recomend this even if you aren't a fan of Michael Jackson. Some of his songs such as HEAL THE WORLD and BLACK OR WHITE really help you notice what's wrong with society. They aren't about lyrics they're about life lessons and learning.

Also its nice to see that there is still SOMEONE out there that can dance and isn't afraid to show it.

Summary: The King of Pop lives on.....
Review: Michael Jackson does look different now...yes thats true, but that is no reason to degrate him. Yes he's been through a lot with all that plastic surgery and his visits to court and being called a child molestor, but that doesn't mean he didn't give us a lot.

I admit, I'm not a big fan of his new stuff...but I'm absolutely CRAZY about what he did in the 70's, 80's, and early 90's. Before he lost his mind and became too wierd looking (actually I honestly didn't think he looked that bad in the Dangerous era).

These videos are classics! I don't know where music videos would be without BEAT IT or BILLIE JEAN! Without these two (yes I know, "what about Thriller" well Beat It and Billie Jean came first). I liked all these videos because of his dancing (Thriller and Bad have the best choreographies). MJ could really move.

One of my gripes however is that I wished the videos had been in chronological order. Also, I'm saddened that Smooth Criminal wasn't there (even it was really long and would've taken up 1/3 of the DVD), and I don't know what it is but "Heal the World"? I'm not sure that I approve of that..."Man in the Mirror" was WAY better than "Heal the World", I admit the song was good but the music video doesn't depict it right.

We got "Thriller" the ULTIMATE MUSIC VIDEO!!! In my opinion NOTHING will ever top Thriller. Eventhough Thriller is the best video, my personal favorite (besides Beat It and Billie Jean) was Black or White. I remembered when that video first came out and he was smashing the car (I thought he was crazy too...) and grabbing his crotch like some....well you know. But when you actually see it with the racial grafite it changes all that (except the crotch grabbing what the hell was that all about?).

The rarely seen long version of THE WAY YOU MAKE ME FEEL is seen as well as the NEVER commercially released ROCK WITH YOU and the never before seen 18 minute long version of BAD.

my gripes with the DVD are that it doesn't have enough special feature. LIke there's no 5.1 surround Sound and the picture is really dark, and if you put the lyrics on they might be a little dipped into the screen. Also, we only got ten of the music videos! I guess it was okay though the videos are great!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Michael At His Best!
Review: Michael Jackson is a Pop Culture Icon known around the world. Everything on this DVD is his best - from his beginings to the present and a few surprises as well.

Watching him and his Docuvideos and then the actual multi-million dollar videos themselves will make you wonder where his energy comes from.

The vidoes are sharp and exciting and filled with special effects. The one overwelming observation that can be made is that Micahael loves children.

I really liked this DVD.

Summary: Essential for your collection
Review: Michael Jackson's HIStory is certainly an essential in your MJ collection. There is more than one history going on here. Not only do you watch his progress from phenomenal little boy to phenomenal young man, you watch the progression of his disease, vetilligo. And still he shines on. There are some things, though, that I wish had been done better. The history is not a true timeline in that the songs are not done in sequence. I also wish the songs had been printed with the counter numbers so that you could just fast forward to the video you want to watch.

Summary: MJ'S BEST!! (4.5 Stars)
Review: No one has as much great music videos or "Short Films" as Michael Jackson has. This DVD shows that MJ is a "Trend Setter" and not a "Trend Follower". Michael's videos are very original and different. Here are the 10 videos:

1) BILLIE JEAN - This video is great. It goes very well with the song. I'm sure you all saw it.
2)*THE WAY YOU MAKE ME FEEL (Long Version) - This is a rarely seen 9:30 min. version of this video. It has a whole beginning when MJ tries to fit in with hoodlums.

3)*BLACK OR WHITE - The Best Video on here!! The Complete Version, with the ending, when MJ is dancing in the alley, and smashing the windows with the car. This is the uncensored version, with the bad words spraypainted on the car. It ends with Bart and Homer Simpson.
4) ROCK WITH YOU - This is so Old School. Michael is dancing in this really tacky suit, with all these lights on him. Klassic MJ video!
5)*BAD (Long Version)- This is the 2nd best video on here!! It's like a movie!! Michael plays a character named Darryl in this video. The long version has never been released on TV. Only on this DVD and MJ's Website.
6) THRILLER - You guys have seen it tons of times. You know how good it is!
7) BEAT IT - This video is pretty cool. The dancing at the end is good.
8) REMEMBER THE TIME - This video takes place in Egypt, when Michael entertains the queen. The dance break in this video is sweet.
9) DON'T STOP 'TIL YOU GET ENOUGH - like "Rock with you" this video is klassic! Michael dances while different backgrounds are behind him.
10) HEAL THE WORLD - This is the reason why I onle gave this DVD 4.5 stars. Why is this video on here? I understand that Michael wants to heal the world, but couldn't he do it somewhere else? He could've put something better on here (along with the HIStory CD), like "Smooth Criminal", or "In The Closet". I'm sorry, this video does NOT fit in with the rest.

The DVD also has the lyrics that can go along with the video, and it show MJ's discography, also.

Besides "Heal the World" this DVD is awesome. Especially since all of the videos are full length and some are not the short ones that they play on TV. Get this DVD!!! It's Worth it.

* "Bad" and "The Way You Make me Feel" were not full length on the VHS version of this video, so that is why it is listed as "long version". Also, on the VHS version of this video, at the end of the "Black Or White" video, there is no spraypaint on the car, because of the bad words.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the godfather of video
Review: not only has his music been a real treat but his videos as well.they have taken the concept to greater heights.his vision&dancing are still major events as far as i'm concerned.he was already bad musically and then came video and he ran away with it.folks might not want to fess up but alot of folks rock on his style.
