I think you´ll agree that all those people have never looked better.

Michael Jackson and Naomi Campbell.

MJ has looked better practically in all his videos pre Bad.

I see no real chemistry between him and Naomi, as usual it looks contrieved. If you want to see real chemistry between Michael and a woman, check out Diana Ross TV special 1981, when he joins her on stage for Upside Down.

However, you may have a point with Madonna, J-lo, Janet etc.

Still Naomi Campbell looks hot in the video. And Michael Jackson looks great dancing.

Not to mention...



Ms.Ola Ray

I've always wondered whateva happend 2 her

Harlepolis said:

Other than falling on hard times, I dunno.

Timmy84 said:

Hard times?

Wait a minute,,,is she still married to Jim Brown?

Harlepolis said:

Nah, they've long separated. Jim Brown is married to another woman now. Ola hasn't been really doing much since the "Thriller" video. You didn't know she had a drug problem a while back? Last time she made the news, she was suing a production company who didn't give her royalties of some sort for appearing in Mike's video.

Thanks for posting those videos. I haven't heard 'in the closet' for sooooo long and it was awesome to hear it again. I used to love that song when it first came out.

They have great chemistry because Diana "understands". She also "understood" transvestite one-hit-wonder Marilyn. They were very close. When she appeared on American Idol this year it was clear she had the best chemistry with the one obviously gay contestant, Sanjaya. The term "fag-hag" could have been invented for Diana.

Timmy84 said:

NOOOOO! Damn Ola

I remember reading in Ebony couple of years ago about that lawsuit, I don't remember exactly how much she squeezed outta that deal but I remember that it was chump change.

Poor thing

Upside down

dag said:

Yeah, I still have a grudge against Herb Ritz. That bastard conned me into thinking Janet Jackson was sexy. I saw the LWNDWY video and overnight she became almost the definition of beauty in my mind. Whoever said "the camera never lies" obviously never saw a Herb Ritz video.

midnightmover said:

You don't think Janet Jackson is sexy?

Rodya24 said:

If the lights were dark enough and her tits were hanging out and she kept her mouth shut so you didn't hear that squeaky voice...hhmmm, maybe. But generally speaking, naaahh.

midnightmover said:

ouch! that's deep.

midnightmover said:

damn, even in a non-combative thread you gotta go get your digs in...did janet kill your first born? steal your wealth? do share, inquiring minds wanna know.

Harlepolis said:

I think she looks nice in the Thriller video with MJ too! I also checked out the Upside Down video. Nice!

sosgemini said:

I'm gonna leave this one alone, I can already see this thread malfunctioning.

dag said:

the man left us some amazing work!!

kinda neat seeing mj adore ms. ross on stage...but let's not kid ourselves, that's not sexual chemistry...that's maternal chemistry.

sosgemini said:

Yeah, I think so, too. When they are hugging, it looks like he does not want to let go of her! So sweet.

sosgemini said:

Pretty much.

It's a shame he's deceased although he did beautiful work...

ABeautifulOne said:

Damn, I had no idea. RIP.

sosgemini said:

Whatever you want to call it, there is still more chemistry there than with Naomi or Lisa Marie-the YANA video was cringe, cringe.

I also believe he and Ola Ray did look good together in Thriller.

The You Are Not Alone music video: the worst Michael Jackson-associated music video of all time. He should never take his shirt off -- unless it is 1988 and he is performing Dirty Diana.

Rodya24 said:

Mike looked really weird in "You Are Not Alone". It was like he was trying to be sexy but failed miserably. At the time R. Kelly used to always run around shirtless (or at least with just a vest on) and because Kells produced "...Alone", I think Mike thought he tried the "shirtless" approach and it just looked tacky. He should've shot a different video. Have it a black and white video and just sit around singing the song and looking miserable, that would've been a better scenario.
