i just saw mj's 'earthsong' video for the first time!

i never knew he made a video for this but i finally watched the entire number ones dvd and this video was great. the message and brutality of the images is very powerful.

And this is why "the man" is trying to take him down. MJ is the mack. GOD forbid (and I really don't think he is) but even if he were guilty, he would still be #1.

i'm not sure how the legal system works over there in the uk, but here you are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty.

now, go deal with your issues.

"The Man" took Nathaniel Jones down. Michael brought this on himself.

ok, so before this thread goes the route of cnn, msnbc or, god forbid, fox news, can we stick to the topic. there are countless other threads about mj's legal dealings...can we leave them there?

the video is great. the song is great. there is an obscure but slammin' house remix of Earth Song by Hani.. he's kinda Deep Dish-esque. If you're into house music, it's worth finding. I'll be picking up that Number Ones DVD soon.

the only warning i have for you in regards to the dvd is the selection of cuts. most of the videos are the edited versions instead of the long forms. also, some seriously great videos are missing...scream, jam, remember the time...i was surprised they weren't included. but i still love the dvd! i'll check for that remix, too. thanks!

The Earthsong video sucks. Especially the parts with MJ in it. Another in a long line of MJ's overblown craptactulars.

It's a great video to a great song. The message is clear and people still wanted to attack him for pointing out what is patently true.

Jarvis Cocker is clearly a deluded knobhead.

Not so. He just took offense to Michael acting like he was Jesus. There are limits that a celebrity can go.

Yeah, he raided the stage 2 minutes BEFORE the act he later claimed to be protesting against. Jarvis is PSYCHIC!

There's a new DVD out called 'The Remarkable Life of Michael Jackson'. It might not have been released in the USA yet but it came out about a month ago here. The guy who directed the Earth Song video was speaking about the concept and the filming. It's a great little documentary actually with all MJ's professional aquaintances, past and present talking about being in the studio and on tour with him.

Agreed.

MJ is over. He had something great, but he ruined himself. What a sad postscript to a great career full of wonderful music (Invincible excepted).
