Michael Jackson: HIStory on Film - Volume II

I will do this review on a video by video basis,

First of all I really didn't like the "teaser" because it made MJ look like a demigod and there was no real purpose to it except an ego trip 0/10.

video 1: BILLIE JEAN (from Motown 25h show) good performance of MJ being MJ 10/10

video 2: BEAT IT good video not enough MJ dancing 6/10

video 3: LIBERIAN GIRL what's this all about huh? MJ friends 4/10

video 4: SMOOTH CRIMINAL very good video. MJ at his very best 13/10

video 5: 1995 MTV AWARDS couldn't get into first part of it but after guitar solo it got much better 8/10

video 6: THRILLER MJ classic video and second best ever 12/10

video 7: SCREAM (With Janet Jackson) strange video 5/10

video 8: CHILDHOOD okay song worse video 2/10

video 9: YOU ARE NOT ALONE can MJ become any whiter 6/10

video 10: EARTH SONG a okay song but a silly video a better one with a simular message is MAN IN THE MIRROR 4/10

video 11: THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT US (BRAZILIAN VERSION) 7/10

video 12: STRANGER IN MOSCOW sad video 8/10

video 13. BLOOD ON THE DANCE FLOOR (refugee mix) bad song/video 0/10

extro: BRACE YOURSELF CLIPS MJ concerts and things

video grade 85/130 or 7/10

It does show some of the same stuff from Volume One, but it shows his best videos from his wonderful C.D. History. If you enjoy his music, then you will surely be grateful for this video or D.V.D. To Michael Jackson: The King Of Pop!

10/10

History-on film volume II was given to me as a gift when I was about 11 years old. At the time Michael Jackson had disappeared from the public since the birth of his 2 children.

This video was so cool and is unforgettable. Tracing back to the day's when Mj first became a mega star after his performance of Billie Jean on the Mowtown special to his amazing short films from the History album. You will be absolutly mezmorised by every music video especially (Well im my opinion) the 1995 MTV awards performance. This is an absolute must have for any MJ fans. 10/10

Such a genius..wow. there is a reason he is the most successful artist in the world. Truly incredible. Once in a billion years entertainer he was.

I bought this on DVD, and was astounded by the sound quality, music videos and the amazing performances by a truly talented artist.

His performances include, Billie Jean (Motown 25: Yesterday, Today and Forever) which started the unique 'moonwalking' dance and the 1995 MTV video music awards performance which shows the highly skilled dance routines that will leave you drooling and your jaw hanging.....

The compilation of all of his music shows all the stages he has been through in his life from a innocent, sweet, black boy to a surgically enhanced, scrutinized adult with a rollar-coaster past...

Some of the music videos on the second side were not of a high standard as his hits such as billie jean, beat it and thriller and it would have been nice to see some more of the oldies such as bad, rock with you, remember the time and the highly acclaimed black or white.

On side one we see original music that you can get on down to...but on side two there is a twist as we see the expensive 'Scream' showing his harrassment from the media, 'Childhood' which shows his painful youth. They all show a negative but true message.

This is two hours of short films that will definately leave you spinning and wanting more from one of the best artists of the millenium...Michael Jackson.
