THIS SET PROVES THE SIMPLY INCREDIBLE TALENT THAT ONCE *was* MICHAEL JACKSON. It's just a damned shame. Twice. The most horrific shame, of course, is the artist's seemingly obvious pattern of molesting very-underage boys, if the court papers on TheSmokingGun.com are even half true. (This author notes that they appear to be 100% genuine, FYI). The second shame is Michael Jackson, pop superstar, laid waste. Having thoroughly enjoyed Jacko's talents since he fronted his family quintet as lead singer for the Jackson 5 at age 11, it was clear that he had the kind of stage presence even then to hold an audience spellbound. I witnessed this myself when the Brothers-Plus-MJ performed live during their "Victory" album's national tour in 1984. Nobody then knew about Michael's weird sexual preferences, as detailed in the aforementioned court documents. Instead, the man's talents, including his superstar-hot-looks,(so said the girls then), made him the biggest star in the world, period. Several bizarre, voluntary plastic surgeries later, Whacko Jacko now more closely resembles Lon Chaney's visage from 1929's "The Phantom of the Opera" than the face that, in 1983-84, the girls all screamed FOR--not at! It should be noted that, so as not to put royalties in Jackson's pocket anymore, I try to buy any of his product from secondary, or even "used" sources. It's my way of protesting what he has become. While lamenting how fantastic he used to be.

All MJJ's videos are awesome. You can never go wrong buying ANY of his DVDs. There will never be another King of Talent like Michael Joe Jackson! I am glad that, out of all the prodigies that have ever existed, MJJ (the biggest prodigy of them all!!!)existed during my time! There never has and never will be a talent like this man! This DVD is awesome as all the others!
