Michael Jackson The Interviews Vol 2 Reviews:
Annoyed by ONE STAR posters!
2009-11-29 - First of all, can I echo the sentiments of all the recent posts on here in saying that this really is a great DVD. I'm not going to do a review as such though as everyone else has already done a better job of it than I possibly ever could.

I'm actually here to have a moan. I'm really annoyed by these people who have posted reviews without having actually seen the content, giving only ONE STAR often simply because they just don't like Michael! I know that early on some people were unaware of what was actually on the DVD but now that that has been made clear I really wish that they'd edit their posts and be a bit more objective. Otherwise we end up with the case where a FIVE STAR release only has THREE STARs simply due to Amazon screwing up the listing and we have inferior releases with better scores. The whole point of these reviews is to help people like me decide what to spend our hard earned money on. I nearly didn't buy this as when I first looked it mainly had negative reviews. Of course, if I'd listened to those I'd have majorly missed out.

I'm going to post this in the hope that some of those people might read this and decide to put things right! I'm also going to post it on the pages for the other DVDs, such as this one, that come in the Michael Jackson Mega Box!!! I might even start putting comments onto their reviews!

really great
2009-11-29 - i purchased this dvd included in my mega-box set that i got - i thought it was absolutely wonderful.

it starts out with mj narrating home movies about himself - when he was little having snowball fights, dancing at his home, his first christmas in which elizabeth taylor surprised him and decorated the whole neverland ranch for the holidays, fun takes of him having water balloon fights and being pushed in the pool, dancing on the high dive, jumping on his trampoline, having an easter egg hunt, he scene where he receives a present from elizabeth taylor of gypsy (his elephant) and then gives her a really nice drawing in return, explains how he had a day for his father at neverland where he and janet got thier dad a boat, how his friends put on a day for him to go shopping in a regular grocery store (which is something he never gets to do since fans always end up wanting autographs) - it really was fun to watch. it's neat to see footage of mj going into hospitals as well and caring for the children.

it then goes to the footage of the martin bashir interview that was captured by michael's own camera - so it is the unedited, good version of the footage. that was really cool to watch, too.

then it goes to a deposition in which mj answers tons of questions about whether he actually wrote "the girl is mine" and "we are the world" or stole them from some one else - he was also questioned about "thriller" - which i found fascinating to watch, but felt sorry for him, too, because the lawyers questioned him for so long and were so picky on phrasing that i could tell he was getting tired - he had just had a concert the night before and was hoarse so he kept having to drink water and clear his throat a lot. it was very cool to hear him tell how he actually goes about writing songs and it was awesome to hear him give examples of that by making the noises from his seat - there was a part where he was giving an example of how he hears every part of a song in his head and he sat there and made noises for the song "who is it" - amazing!

i am glad i purchased this as a part of the box set instead of by itself since it worked out financially better to do so.

I loved it
2009-11-28 - You get to see parts of MJ in these interviews that you may not have seen if you missed the original broadcasts. it is a must have for a fan..a must have, you will love it

Spend time with Michael
2009-11-27 - I absolutely LOVE watching Michael in the questioning part at the end. You get to know him in a different way from the usual. I just hope they come out with a volume that will have the rest of it.I don't know what the other people are rating on, but I thought the whole V.2 was excellent!

I felt bad for Michael while watching this
2009-11-24 - I bought this DVD really just to be able to see and hear Michael, and hopefully to learn something new. The only part of the DVD I enjoyed was the first set of three, which was a part of his at home interview collection. That was fun to see. The other two parts consisted of 3.5 hours of part of Martin Bashir's interview and some sort of interrogation of Michael from 1993, regarding his music and whether or not he wrote or co-wrote them and if he stole any of them. It was ridiculous and sad to watch but I couldn't turn it off. I felt bad for Michael and wanted these lawyers to leave him alone. I wish this and any and all of those other horrible things said and done to him never happend. I would not recommend this volume. I did enjoy most of volume 2 however. He was a beautiful human being inside and out. I miss him greatly and will always love him. He will forever and always be in my heart.
