 Michael Jackson "Number Ones" CD November 16, 2008
Really if you are going to own one video collection...this is it! You don't need to be a fan of the of the man to appreciate the top class workmanship and uniqueness of these classic videos.
Well I Feel Ripped Off! August 24, 2008
I'm not criticising Michael Jackson here, and the fact that there are no commentaries on these film clips or interviews with Michael, he probably has no idea this con job of a DVD collection was even released.
The whole problem and feeling that I was ripped off comes from the fact that they do not mention on the packaging anywhere and especially with the track listing, that these film clips on here are either not the versions played on TV in the 80s etc, or if they are, they have been severely edited with huge chunks cut away. There's a few still in their original version including his (and music's) greatest film clip of all time Thriller. What's going on with the rest though? If they need room get rid of the fillers like Blood on the Dance Floor (a song so bad even Michael stuggles to dance to it and spends most of the film clip sitting on a chair).
They should have listed the tracks that aren't the real or full versions with brackets such as with Smooth Criminal (crappy low budget doesn't resemble in any way the one you remember version) Bad (shorter starts half way though actual film clip), Black and White (controversial vandalism of car, panther turning into scenes not included) etc If they were honest and did this only the hardcore Michael Jackson fans who already have the other longer film clip versions would buy this so they have these alternative versions. The rest of the public who expect the same version they saw on their TV screens back inthe 80s and so forth wouldn't feel ripped off. Everyone would be happy!
Of course if the record company actually did that they'd make less money, but that would have been the moral thing to do.
If you can get this for $2 or something and you don't plan on getting other Jackson DVDs it's worth getting for Thriller then its worth getting. The sheer rehearsals and shooting takes it would have taken to make that masterpiece with all the zombies choreography exactly in line, leaving the ground at the same time etc is phenomenal. DVD tracks are in chronological order of his career but you know even the menu screen is pretty average. With no features it might as well have been a video, there's no advantage except skipping to the track you want instead of fast forwarding.
Yeah you probably want to give this a miss, don't get ripped off!

you name it and Michael Jackson has done it period. he came and conqured music and video. this collection of the dvd highlights why he lead the charge on mtv. the music is still great regardless of the videos. but the added visual takes it all to a whole different level. a Once in a lifetime musical force.

I already owned this DVD myself. My sister saw it and she loved it and I purchased it for her as a gift. If you love MJ, this DVD should be part of your MJ collection.
