Summary: what happened to the full versions of these films?
Review: okay forget about the full versions! i already OWN all of these films. what should've been there if i was the one who was directing the production of this dvd, was the live versions of these songs dug up from his past footage from his best concert performances. that would have made it alot better!!! i dont even have to take a survey and i know people would have rather seen that instead of these chopped up master peices.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Look for Free Willy on this DVD!
Review: The only thing MJ is guilty of is scoring more number ones than any other artist! (And that includes Ringo Starr and Billy Ocean!) I got down and got off on every track on this album, I swear to JC and I do mean da Lord! As you might know, most of MJ's hits were written by legendary composing duo Chick Huntsberry and Bernie Taupin, but it's MJ who elevated those songs to evergreen status by moonwalking all over the groove and fingersnapping in Dolby Stereo! It almost makes you forget he sings like a penguin! No, seriously party people out there, MJ is one bad mutha and there's no-one who can touch him except Macauley Culkin, and that cute little thang that plays Harry Potter. He can sit on my face anytime! I mean baby sit Grace, my daughter, anytime! She's only three but she knows how to rock his world (and mine)! Have you seen her Childhood? Since she's hanging out with MJ, it's off the wall, bad and dangerous! Follow her example, become a fan and then a friend. Next thing you know, you can sue his *** off!
By the way, look closely and you can see a shot of Mike's willy in the extended version of Liberian Girl, in an imitation of the Beatles Fool On The Hill. A free extra!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: MICHAEL JACKSON IS AMAZING, THIS DVD ISN'T!
Review: The only videos worth watching are, don't stop til you get enough, billie jean, thriller, beat it, and the way you make me feel. Smooth criminal sucks on here, and so does man in the mirror! This dvd about $13.00, the Jackson 5 singing all their hits live on dvd (PRICELESS!) When will that come out?

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: For folks who merely want their appetites whetted.
Review: There ain't really nothing wrong with appetite whetting, and
these are good videos, that's true. But this doesn't have the longer versions of some jams (Black and White, f'instance) and I'm surprised it did not have Scream on it. But the title of the production is called Number Ones, right? If you really want to be stunned with how some the longer forms and rare videos are get the productions History Vol II and Dangerous-the short films Videos. What I think they should produce--someone, somewhere--is the DVD production of the Dangerous Tour they did in the 90's and a vid production of Ghosts. However, this product overall is ok.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The title says it all!
Review: This compilation is very much like 1995's HISTORY. The only original tracks are ONE MORE CHANCE(not to be confused with the Jacksons' recording from their 1984 VICTORY album),and a live version of BEN,Michael Jackson's solo debut hit from '72. Some of the tracks have been slightly edited from their original album versions. One of them was DON'T STOP 'TIL YOU GET ENOUGH from 1979's OFF THE WALL. The intro is not heard on this album(MJ briefly speaks). This album has four different cover concepts. The photos were taken,respectively,in 1979,1987,the early 90's and sometime this decade. A must for all MJ fans.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Like HIStory Vol I+II DVD But has its Pro's and Cons
Review: This is definitley one of those really great MJ moments. The videos are amazing! problem is the way they shortened "Bad","The Way You Make Me Feel","Smooth Criminal"+ "Black Or White". My favourite on this DVD is by far "Blood On The Dance Floor" I mean, its such a great video, it may not be a classic but damn it its really good. This DVD comes in 4 different covers "Off The Wall","Thriller","Bad" and "Dangerous" They all reflect different songs. Ive Got the "Bad" cover, though I really wanted The "Dangerous" cover. All together....this DVD is great! It would be amazing if they made those videos more longer and used some other ones like "Remember The Time" and god, atleast "Heal The World" its MJ's fave MJ song I was certain they were gonna include that on the DVD. This DVD is great!!!!. You may feel A Bit Odd and I guess ripped off if you own "HIStory Videos Vol I" and "HIStory Videos Vol II" well I did, but it comes with videos I have rarely ever seen like "Dirty Diana", "Blood On The DAnce Floor"," Man In The Mirror" and even "You Rock My World" so it is value but then its a bit cringey. But I want to collect all Of MJ's works and if you are like me and also want to collect all of his works then this is one DVD you should definitley not miss out on!.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Critical review
Review: This is going to be the most critical review I will ever do of Michael Jackson. "Number Ones" was Ok, but it could have been so much better.

Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough: A bit better than the video for "Rock With You" but not that great.
*

Rock With You: Basically just Michael singing in front of laser lights.
*

Billie Jean: This is a good one. Michael is being followed by a secret agent, who is trying to prove he slept with "Billie Jean". Whatever Michael touches lights up. Interesting.
****

Beat It: This is good too, like all the videos (rather, short films) from the album Thriller. Michael is lying on his bed, telling you about these 2 gangs who are out to get him. Then he goes out and unites the 2 gangs, they are all dancing together in the end.
*****

Thriller: This is the original, full-length Thriller. And it's great, even by today's standards. Excellent use of all-real special effects (no computers used). Thriller is basically a mock-horror film, lots of zombies and stuff.
*****

Bad: This is not the full-length Bad. I don't know why, but this DVD shortens/speeds up a lot of Michael's best short film, and it's really annoying. Well anyway, even though Bad is short, it's cool. Great choreography.
***

The Way You Make Me Feel: Ok, Michael basically is chasing a girl.
**

Man In The Mirror: Doesn't actually show Michael, instead it shows policticans, famine and war victims, Mother Theresa, you get the point. It has a nice message, but I don't think it was a good choice for this DVD, which was meant to be chowcasing Michael's talents.
*

Smooth Criminal: This is NOT the original Smooth Criminal. Instead of the original, they sped up all the dancing and added snippets from the movie "Moonwalker". Although I was disappointed about this, I still liked this one. It was kind of scary. But I don't know why they didn't use the full version. *****

Dirty Diana: Alright, but nothing to write home about. Michael is at a concert singing about "Dirty Diana", a groupie.
**

Black or White: Argh! They shortened Black or White! Damn it, damn it. It only shows the first half, ends after the girls turn into boys, before the panther bit. I'm annoyed, but it's still good.
****

You Are Not Alone: I have never seen the original for this, but there is apparently meant to be a bit where Michael has wings. This isn't on the DVD. You can see Lisa Marie Presley in this one. It's quite nice.

***

Earth Song: Probably my favourite on this DVD, it's so cool. Michael is sad because the forest was burnt, and it keeps flashing back-and-forth from him and other people who have had bad thing happening to them. At the end, you see this person who has been shot open his eyes. Then everything reversed and the world is good again.
*****

Blood On The Dance Floor: This is just one version of Blood on the Dance Floor. I can't say I really like the video, but it's a good song.
**

You Rock My World: This is nice. Erm, I don't know how to explain it, but it ends in a fire and features Chris Tucker, from Rush Hour Two.
****

Overall, I was disappointed with this. Don't get me wrong, I like the videos, but they left out so much. What they should have left out was: *Rock With You
*Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough
-Both were just a bit dull, and Michael has so many better videos than these.

*The Way You Make Me Feel
*Dirty Diana
-Both get boring very quickly.

*Man in the Mirror
-Doesn't even show Michael.

Also, they should have had the full-length Bad, Smooth Criminal, Black or White (and You Are Not Alone?). Also, a different version of Blood on the Dance Floor.

To make this really good, I think they could have included some more stuff from HIStory (especially Scream and They Don't Care About Us) and Dangerous (In the Closet, Heal the World?), as most of his newer videos are better than the older stuff. They should definitely have had Ghosts, his best short film.
