Summary: Amazing Capsule Of MJ's Artistic Ability
Review: This DVD shows anyone why MJ is the only King of Pop! Many of this more recent videos are showcased here, several that we were never even able to watch in the US.

The performance at MTV's Video Music Awards is worth the price of this item alone. Michael's breathtaking dancing, singing, and ad-libbing are simply ingenious!!

Additional must-haves include Scream (with sister Janet), They Don't Care About Us, and Stranger In Moscow.

I really wish they had included the original version of Blood On The Dancefloor instead of the remix, but it's still great to watch.

Highly recommended for any fan or music fan!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Top quality and top fun
Review: This DVD shows most famous video and performances by Michael Jackson. Quality is superb as all products that cames from Jackson and his groups. The only spot regards Billie Jean performance: I hoped to have the original video, but there is a live performance.

Review: THis has many more videos and live performances than the first History on film. It starts off with the actual History commercial. It then launches into the legandary Motown 25 performance of Billie Jean were Michael debuted the moonwalk. Then it has an old favorite from the first History On Film, Beat It. Then it has Smooth Criminal from the Moonwalker Movie. And then the higlight of the video. Michael Jacksons performance at the 1995 MTV Video Awards. He performs a 15 minute medly wich includes the hits Dont Stop Till You Get Enough, The Way You Make Me Feel, Beat It, Thriller, Scream, Black or White, Billie Jean, Dangerous, and You Are Not Alone. Then the rest of the tape includes the videos Thriller, Scream, Childhood, You Are Not Alone, Earth Song, Stranger in Moscow, They Dont Really Care About Us, and Blood on the DAnce Floor. It also has the Brace Yourself excert from the first video.

Summary: amazing music video
Review: this is highly recommended for fans of mj and also nonfans who enjoy his music. It's all that and a bag of chips. This video came out when I was 14, but it wasn't until 3 years later I ended up buying it and it was well worth it.

It starts out with the now infamous trailer with mj as the statue on the HIStory cover, which leads the mj's groundbreaking performance of billie jean on the motown 25th special, the time he premiered the moonwalk. A definining moment in pop culture that is, and this is followed by the music video for beat it. Next up is the rare release of the liberian girl video which was an overseas hit in 1989 and features tons of celebrites such as quincy jones, weird al, paula abdul etc. and then the brilliant smooth criminal with it's amazing dance sequences, and yet another mj video moment, the lean. 1995 MTV video music awards performance is next, it's a medley of songs such as don't stop till you get enough, the way you make me feel, scream, beat it, black or white, billie jean, dangerous, smooth criminal and you are not alone. Next up is the music video which is considered the best video of all time, thriller. Followed by that is scream, a duet with sister janet and the most expensive video ever. This video set a blueprint for futuristic music videos the same way as previous videos have. Childhood is a sweet song, but I could do without the video. You Are Not Alone is also on here, but it is different from the version that used to air on tv. Earth Song is a touching masterpiece that is bound to make you shed tears. The song alone stands on it's own as a masterpiece, but the video is like the icing to the cake in a way. They Don't Care About Us the brazil version is very bright, very colourful and very rhythmic. Stranger is moscow is a calming masterpiece with a black and white video, beautiful videography here. If you buy the VHS, there is an mj megamix music video that mixes up his classic hits and shows different clips from videos and performances, you won't find this on the DVD. Last but not least, the remix video of blood on the dancefloor is at the end before ending with the brace yourself clip, a montage of Bad tour footage mixed with some victory tour footage. It is definitely worth your money and a timeless classic that is bound to forever live on.

Summary: Latest HIStory, Big HIStory and Repeditive HIStory
Review: This is some of his recent Video HIStory, with singles that didnt match the massive success HIStory vol.1 did and videos that were on Vol.1 of this collection. Preferably I enjoy this DVD more than Vol.1. But the "Blood On The Dance Floor" Remix isnt my fave to date. This is one great DVD and it should definitley be in your collection!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Plenty of incredible MJ video but two sides sucks
Review: This is, as described by other viewer's, really only for MJ fans of which I am one. I was glad to see the theatrical teaser, albeit so egotistical, it is still impressive, and some of the videos which never made it or barely made it to MTV/VH1. I first saw "Stranger In Moscow" in Paris and only once in the US and "Earth Song" only in Europe. These are both amazing videos as well as "Scream" which won, among other awards, a Grammy for Video of the Year.

Truly, the only sad part, is the fact that the videos get better and more technically complex, as well as the songs and orchestrations, and Michael still delivers, but his physical change from the Motown 25th Anniversary at 24 years of age w/Thriller to Dangerous and HIStory is unsettling.

Nonetheless, I would still recommend the title to fans and those in the music video field. This is some to the best directing, editing and cinematography work in videos and all from 1995-1996.

Bottom line, at least he did break some ground in the quality of the performances and videos no matter what you think of him personally.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Five stars are not enough!!!!
Review: This Man is the most talented singer I've never known. In those videos, you will see a magic. It's something unbelievable. Scream, TDCAU, You Are Not Alone, Earth Song, and the other videos are the best videos Michael has ever done(Jam, and the other songs during that era are also an excellent ones)....You gotta buy it now, if not, you are missing something priceless. Go for it!! Go now!! www.amazon.com
