- Michael Jackson is the King! Period!

How can someone who hasn't released any commercially successful material in the last six years be the King? Watch this video and you'll find out!

This is packed with some of Michael's most ambitious video's and live performances.

1. Bille Jean (Motown 25: yesterday, Today and Forever)

2. Beat It 3. Liberian Girl (very rare)

4. Smooth Criminal (one of his finest and higly overlooked videos)

5. 1995 MTV Video Music Awards Performance (Killer 15 minute Jackson performance!)

6. Thriller

7. Scream (duet with sister Janet and an amazing visual effect video!) 8. Childhood

9. You Are Not Alone (Video for the first song ever to debut at No.1 on the Billboard #100)

10. Earth Song (Beautiful video!)

11. They Don't Care About Us (Highly contorvercial song and video from 1996)

12. Stranger In Moscow (rare)

- KING OF POP

Micheal Jackson is definetly the king of pop - after u see this collection of his videos you wont dispute that.

THE DVD

1.PROGRAM START

2.teaser-elaborate teaser showing micheal jackson as a huge statue.

3.BILLIE JEAN motown 25- an amazing performance of micheal jackson singing billie jean and doing moonwalk for first time- here he shows his amazing talent - in this performance u think it cant get any better than this but yet he ceases to amaze me - performances keep getting better. 5 star performance

4.BEAT IT- classic mj video great dancing - good song 4.3 stars

5.LIBERIAN GIRL- ok/ catchy song with alot of appearances by celebritys - very rare video- 3 stars

6.SMOOTH CRIMINAL-this one i rank up there with billie jean- here he outdoes himself again showing his amazing talent and dancing abilitys- 5 star performance

7.1995 mtv video music awards-another amazing performance- my personal favorite along with smooth criminal- here he does many songs in a mix of some sort and shows many diffrent dances and it amazes me how he can switch so quick into the diff dances -one of a kind performance - 5 stars

8.THRILLER- classic masterpiece /great performances by all- 5 stars

SIDE TWO

1.SCREAM- innovative original video with sister janet- very cool video - 4 stars

2.CHILDHOOD-pretty good video -3.5 stars

3. YOU ARE NOT ALONE- not one of my favorites but still good video/ shows micheals sensitive side- 4 stars

4.EARTH SONG- beautiful video - have to see it to believe it -5 stars

5.THEY DONT CARE ABOUT US- so so video / fun to watch- 3.5 stars

6.STRANGER IN MOSCOW- diffrent type of video yet beautiful-3.8 stars

7.BLOOD ON THE DANCE FLOOR- the worst video on whole disk - i didnt like this song or video at all but the other videos make up for this one - 1 star( this just wasnt micheal jackson- it wasnt his style ) i expect more from this - hes more talented and hes shown that in his past but maybe he just wanted to try somthing diffrent

8.BRACE yourself-3.5-4 stars

SO I RECOMEND THIS DVD TO ANYONE - any pop music lover or micheal jackson fan - even if ur not a big micheal jackson fan u will be after veiwing this collection and this dvd is also good for chronicaling some very memorable video masterpieces.

- The Modern Media *-PLUS-* The Historic Hits

The HIStory On Film, Volume II DVD is an AWESOME disc for those who wanted MORE after buying HIStory On Film or is a suuuper DVD for any collector or Michael Jackson lover. The only fault in the DVD is that it must be flipped to view the second session of its content. It is STILL DEFINITELY a 5-star DVD! It's only a little annoying when you're loafing, dazed by the Michael magic, to pry yourself from your sofa to flip the disc.

Side One is a collection of the greatest performances and classic hits (2 which weren't on HIStory On Film). The compliation is a nice little memory trip. If you're a kid, it is nice to catch some of those old moments that you weren't around to see.

:::Side One:::

~*~ Teaser [from 'HIStory' Album]

Side Two may have been separated from Side One because of its content. Michael Jackson has always liked to be family friendly in his lyrics and videos. However, Side Two features 'SCREAM' in which Janet Jackson flashes the finger, and 'You Are Not Alone' with Michael Jackson and his beloved ex-wife Lisa Marie Presley next to nude. You will still want to watch the 'Earth Song' video which is, to say the least, stunning and 'Brace Yourself', an awesome collage sort of piece.

:::Side Two:::

~*~ Scream

The whole DVD aims to please and is stellar! 'SMOOTH CRIMINAL' will have you dancing for days, while 'EARTH SONG' will keep you crying for years to come. Well worth the petty 17 dollars!! A piece of music history.

- Great if you don't have it!

Okay this is a great video for those that want everything probably already at your house in better condition. I for one had better sound of the Motown Billie Jean performance than from the original show shown back in '83. The videos shown are : History advertiserment shown on t.v. to promote the History album with the statue), Billie Jean from Motown performance, Beat It, Liberian Girl, Smooth Criminal (edited moonwalker version not the original video), MTV performance from 1995, Thriller, Scream, STranger IN Moscow, Childhood, Blood on the Dance Floor, You Are not alone, (basically all the History videos, except the mixes) and the Teaser. Basically, I had all this stuff the only good thing about it was it was in stereo and clearer and brushed up from eighties. Other than that I'd think this was a waste of money. Nothing new on here.
