I found this on a blog and I found it amazing and insightful. I agree with the blogger that it is one of, if not the most relaxed interview with Michael Jackson I've ever heard.

It is an interview with Jesse Jackson from 2005 that covers so much and is so poignant in the wake of the passing of Michael Jackson, the King of Pop.

This is also found on Youtube:
Michael Jackson has a skin disorder called Vitiligo. After years of fighting it and covering it up he choose the final solution, what many people with the disease do, which is a procedure called Depigmintation. This gets rid of all the remaining color on the skin so the skin all matches.Song is "Stranger in Moscow" by MJ. -JRAR0405 Youtube

That question may be impossible to answer however if forced I would probably choose "I Can't Help It" from Off The Wall...My favorite video would be "Can You Feel It?" but that is from before he went solo...you?

Skull!

I'm an "Off the Wall" girl :smile: so....love "Rock With You" and "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough but I love it all...can't do without the total MJ package...dancing, video, performance, music - everything Michael did including the biggies - Thriller, Bad, Billie Jean

"Can you feel It" is an all time favorite too lol.

I had to listen to "I Can't Help It" to see if it hit me...this one hit me more:

"She's Out of My Life" - Michael will be special forever.

Oh...I love Floetry so I fell in love with Butterflies

I love Butterflies too. I even liked it when Ace Young sang it on American Idol.

I like Earth Song, Stranger In Moscow, the list would go on forever. When I was a young child I loved the Smooth Criminal video. And shout out to Eddie Van Halen with the guitar solo in Beat It.

Me too. I love Earth Song and Stranger in moscow too. Not enough appreciation for those.

I love the 45 degree lean in Smooth Criminal. Genius.

I'm loving "In the Closet"...Michael and a beautiful brown skinned woman and he was sensual, sexual and comfortable LOL...definitely his sexiest video.

You're right...could go on forever :)

Lifetime Achievements of Michael Jackson, the King of Pop

Charity King, Michael Jackson holds Guiness World Record
As the world continues to mourn the loss of a great artist, the Guiness World Record book remembers Michael Jackson instead as the king of charity.
The Millenium issue listed the music legend under Most Charities Supported By A Pop Star, with a staggering 39 international organizations including the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the American Cancer Society. Those are only the known ones however, as Jackson was also prone to giving away impulsively and anonymously.
Jackson had been known to hand over the proceeds from concerts to local charities and hospitals as he did with the History tour in Bombay, or donate personal items for auction to organisations like UNESCO. It’s been estimated he may have given up to $500 million to charity in his lifetime.
