Right you dont get it until you see footage like this, this one piece of footage makes him liking children make sense. Most people think its weird because they dont live in his world if they made a movie showing these backstage footages and what his life really was like being handled and controlled. people would get why he preferred hanging with kids. It was escapism when your surrounded by darkness you seek a light and kids were a light to him.
Its disturbing they talk about michael as a product instead of a person! And that right in front of him while he is standing there. The way michael is with the kids displays his innocense and unfortunatley his ignorance to what is happening around him. I didnt know him but after seeing all the videos and interviews i believe he is the sweetest most kindhearted person the world has ever seen. And media and society broke his spirit.
Yeah..so true! Those men were driven by their greed and wanted to make money from him. Michael was the most humble and kind of all the entertainers . His legacy will live forever. I love him ..always!
I mean if we are being very honest, he has probably been talked about like a “product” since he was 9 years old. Doesn’t make it right but it’s the industry he was in and he was definitely used to it.
michael was a smart mature business man. his close friends have said this and he was very aware of what happened around him just look at him buying the atv catalog or protesting against his label he knew what he was doing the whole innocence thing was a facade he made up he had a deep voice and could be powerful. he had two characters in one person one that is gentle that is loving with a light voice and a deep voice and a strong man that can command and do business he just made this character with the light voice at a young age he never grew out of it till later on in his life
this is kind of a surreal video for me, as this is how I imagined he would be backstage with all the senior "important" people and he'd just be his innocent, wonderful self, all humble, real and grounded.
Those people treated him like a nobody. They were there for their businesses..talking about the things that matters to them but wasnt concerned about the "k.o.p".
this clearly shows how naturally he felt among kids and how little these bussiness men cared for Michael, they left him just there... like idk some furniture
I can understand MJ with feeling more at ease around kids. I once had to go to a family birthday visit and all adults were in the garden sitting in a circle. I felt terrible. I was always a bit different, a free spirit and I didn't fit in the picture of getting married in your twenties etc. All uncles and aunts looking at me and about to interview me how my life was going etc. I fleed into the house where my nephews were drawing at the table. I joined them and we drew together. My aunt walked by saying to me 'you missed your calling'. Because I was having fun with the kids referring to teacher or whatever. She didn't understand and I felt sarcasm, I always felt as if they tried to belittle me. I think many people do recognize small elements of MJ's emotions from our own lives. Not to compare his life with ours ofcourse but to say that it's ridiculous peopke misused his explanation about feeling good around children,
@@constance6761 Kids are true to themselves unlike adults. While adults always have ulterior motives and want to use each other in their goals. Not all people like this of course. But unfortunately in our materialistic world most of the people care about money, fortune, status but not about spirituality. I feel you on this story. I just wish that we are as adults would more embrace our inner child with just simple joy .
Video's like this always make me realize how exhausting it must have been to be Michael Jackson... Everybody wants a piece of him and they kinda treat him like an object, rather than a person, don't they? It's just really weird, scary, and somewhat suffocating to see those things from this perspective... (I'm not saying I wouldn't go crazy if I'd see him in real life, because I think I would, but it actually doesn't make sense...)
Michael and his mother were both very humble and down to earth. The way those men excluded him, talked about him like he wasn't there, and treated him like a prop was shameful. It was like he was relegated to babysitting the kids.
It's interesting when he talks to the older people his voice gets immediately lower. 1:07 It's shameful how the media has smeared this man. he was a genuinely kind soul.🌈
Raven-Symoné really grew up in the industry and hung out with LEGENDS. From Michael Jackson to Whitney Houston, she’s been around every successful artist or actor! She was too cute here!! So poised and so precious! Michael ASKED for them to come back that’s so sweet!!
Of course cuz he always sorrounded Himself with army of ppl. Cuz of attention, love, he loved speaking with others. Thats what U see on this vid and he had that girlz who escorted Him to kinda public events. It doesnt mean those girlz were his girlfriends -nope -it means MJ could not b alone.
People can fall so low for their selfishness and greed. Michael always loved his fans and children just because he always knew who actually loved him, and not his money and fame. He always felt alone because he didn't found a single true friend in his personal life except Liz. He deserved to be loved and being taken cared of, cause there's very few existed like Michael. ❤️ Ever since I saw you, there was only one wish that I had was to be your best friend michael. I know that I will not be able to meet you in this life, but we will definitely meet in the next life. And till then I promise you that I will love, and adore you the same way until my last day. I can spend my entire life watching you and listening to you on RU-vid because that makes me feel that you're somewhere around me. I love you more Michael 💫💕
This was beautiful. Chris Tucker was a friend to MJ as well. I know he came into his life later, but he was there as well as Liz during MJ darkest times. It would have been nice if he had a real woman by his side too.
When I see Michael I see an angel. He was one of the best entertainers of all time his heart was so pure that he would do anything to make someone so happy. Why did I have to be born in the crappiest generation ever while I could’ve been born in like the 70’s or 80’s like dudeeee I miss him with all of my heart he is my favorite singer my inspiration my idol my everything ! I will f&a love him❤️❤️
One of those "disgusting individuals" by the way is Bob Jones. He's the guy in this video directing people and asking who the photographer was. He was head of Michael's "publicity" at the time. He also ended by suing Michael for millions and writing a horrible book with some other guy where they completely trashed Michael and said disgusting things about him. I hate seeing videos where people like him are in it. Same with Martin Bashir.
Yeah this guy was a jerk off for sure. Bob Jones was pissed because Michael had let him go and replaced him with someone else at the time, so what does Bob do? Instead remaining loyal and moving on to other endeavors he makes a book trashing Michael. The video makes me cringe because at this time nobody suspected him.
when they asked him to take photos I was like "oh no, here they go again" and knowing how much he hated to take pictures, I cannot imagine what it would be like to be in his situation. He looks so tired. They literally left him alone in the corner of the room right after taking pics... UGH! my poor baby! I just want to hug him so bad!
While every big name is having discussion there, the king of pop was happily talking to the kids. Even the kids, see are so friendly with him... biggest celebrities go awe just seeing Michael, but these lucky kids just got to meet a sweet friend in the greatest entertainer that ever lived! Simply a gem!
Michael is so beautiful he's shining so much and his posture how he's posing like a soldier but with royal glory. Actually more glory and royalty than any earthly king or queen.👑
These videos definitely confirm the reason why he liked being around children more than adults🤦🏽♀️. Children didn’t want nothing from him but to just be his friend and have fun. But on the other hand, adults always wanted something from money , clout , or fame... the ppl who think Michael is not innocent need to watch this ‼️😳
There are other videos similar to this on how he was treated backstage. Check out the back stage after his Oprah interview. She was definitely there for more clout.
KATHERINE JACKSON IS TRULY A MOTHER WHO LOVED HER SON UNCONDITONLY. I LOVE THE RELATIONSHIP THEY HAD SHE SUPPORTED HER SON DURING HIS LIFE AND DEATH WE NEED MORE MOTHERS LIKE HER!!!!
I wanted those horrible men to move out of the way so I could see Michael interacting with the kids. I don't blame him at all for wanting to be around children. These creepy men trying to get close to him are the exact reason why he didn't trust most adults but totally trusted kids. Plus, kids are much more fun and interesting than most adults!!!
Never mind photos of Him if I was in a room with Michael Jackson id take the opportunity to talk to him and ask him loads of questions! They acted as though he was just an ornament.
MJJ understood that being on stage & stardom was being at work, all this people up in their feelings must stop feeling sorry for Mike. He understood his job that is why he rarely went out because that was the only space he could control. Thank u Mike for being a gracious man many could learn from you,your parent did an excellent job raising you❤️🇸🇿
Good point and reminder. You're right, although I still feel he could have been treated with more respect but I agree he was an adult man knowing what he was doing. A professional on a heartfelt mission so he paid the price. Gracious indeed. Very sophisticated. He knew he'd be going home afterwards..... Time to relax. MJ became a victim at the end of the day on more levels but he was smart and strong too.
I just watched the video of Michael being mobbed in the Indianapolis mall and now this. It is almost beyond comprehension the life he lived, the hysteria/madness/masses of people always crushing around him, clamoring after him, wanting to "be seen" with him. God bless you, angel. As much as I miss you, I know you now have solace, serenity and peace...
I think if I were that famous, I would need to have my spouse or one of my siblings with me at all times. You cannot trust these industry folks. It is actually terrifying to watch how he put his safety into the hands of these people. Oh wow!! that was a young Raven Symone and Bryton James the kid who played Richie on Family Matters @6:49.
When Raven Symone siad in her childhood interview she would like to meet Michael Jackson I guess her dream came true! I would of died if I got to meet him like this!! MJ R.I.P!!
This video is so good for those people who accused him of loving show off, well according to how famous and loved he was you can tell that he was the most humble person in the 20th century
I do not blame him for wearing masks his face......the media was to hash on him the world was a better place with you in it......wish you were here now......magic man MJ
all these leeches and fake folks around my man....treatin him like a product instead of a human being...michael knew this deep down......rest peacefully baby
Instantly recognized “Little Richie” from Family Matters as he was walking iff the stage with MJ. Raven Simone was, also, one of the little kids hanging out with him.
Great quality in this, seems to be, obscure footage. First time I've seen it. Always a treat to see old quality footage, or rare footage. I wish everyone would upload any special or quality footage of M.J. Amateur recordings, old televised footage. I'm sure someone is sitting on something great that needs to be shared. Thank you for sharing!
I agree with the comment michael was used those people just wanted proof they might know him no conversation or respect king of pop my ass! Know wonder he ask for the kids this probably happened all the time micheal made a statement once that know one talked to him I now see what he was talking about just plan rude his songs said it loude and clear everyone wants a piece of me and boy did they thank god for the children this just breaks my heart what this man had too endure know wonder he took time off after the trial he was broken he surly paid the price for his fame like no other michael im sorry! If only you hear those words your fans didn't know at I know I didnt iam mad as hell! Those bastarded greedy good for nothing monkeys I wanna say something else you ppl owe a life blood is on your hands big time ! Boy how I want redemption for you michael this was just unreal what can be said what price could be paid in how!
Michael s mother should were SO PROUD OF HIS CHILD OH BOY PRECIOUS INNOCENT moments for Michael GRATEFUL FOR SHARING THIS INVALUABLE DOCUMENT CONTINUE LOVE FROM GREECE TO YOU LOVE FROM EARTH TO MICHAEL
All my life I wanted to be famous but now I don't just imagine someone asking you for a picture every second then talking about you behind your back I could never
Michael speaking with director John Singleton,what a moment..wow!!!! GOD Michael's a vision of gorgeous perfection.I'm loving Michael's voice..yummmmmm
What I love the most is the aa community, even most aa celebrities; will not turn their backs on mike. Esp now that he’s gone….from the actors and actresses to pop stars to the gangsta rappers…esp after leaving neverland. They back mike non stop. He always showed love to his community and they always respect him…excluding Chris rocks silly ass
I just love how easy it is for him to talk to the kids but he is all shy in front of everyone else! its crazy how he can just relate! WOW! All i have to say is if i was around MJ id be to nervous to speak and blushing the whole time.
I'm too late.. Those men were disgusting..they brought him in just to take photos of him..they always want something from him but never gave anything in return..not even respect..shame on those evil men! Mj was always humble and forgiving..i feel him. I knew the feeling of being neglected. I love u mj..
WOW that one guy sure thought he was a hot shot didn't he?!!!!! Michael deserved so much better than those goons surrounding him! The kids were beautiful and so sweet - you could tell he loved them!
2:52 😲 damn those flashlight MJ so humble saying thank you. And not talk with MJ but talk about MJ like he is a statue or a picture on the wall.😡😢. Btw where that a nephew of MJ sweet Katherine in the dressing room.
There will never be another like Michael Jackson he is 💯pure ,unique ,kind & caring this world has lost the best man there will ever be a genius and a great legend 💖👑⭐💎💖🌍💞
His heyday was during the years with the Jackson Five, Off the Wall and Thriller, by Dangerous his career had declined sharply, Dangerous wasn't even in the top 100 on the billboard charts by the time this awards show took place in 93
+scorpionJB Early 90s are still a relavent period for MJ. He had 11 hits coming off that album 2 years before this and some of those hits Like "Will You Be There" and "Heal the World" are trademark records. "Dangerous" album went diamond and sold in the 20s of millions worldwide within each singles and lp format. For my money his best years are 1975-1995. And 1993 (even with the concerns and hassles brought on by filthy ass liars) is still heyday level to me. But I can totally get what you're saying.
Not when you lose your foundational support.....I'm not trying to talk about MJ, I'm a fan throughout his entire career, especially his adult solo career, followed the entire span of it....but he lost his foundational support, those who supported him in the beginning, his lost his tremendous black following and it happened fast when that Bad album debuted, losing over half his overall fanbase in the process because of his drastically changed appearance, if he would not have done that to himself, all of his albums would have sold more than what they actualy did after Thriller, as by the time the 90s hit, he spent the remaining of his career trying to regain while giving the impression to his current fans of the moment he was not.....Dangerous no longer charted in the states which is why he started making all those public appearances by the beginning of 1993, like on this show here........he was given terrible advice by cohorts who only sought to exploit his talent and his success and and that's why he's no longer around
Incredible how Bob Jones is smiling away at MJ and his mom and how he turned on him ,What a horrible person..May God Bless you Michael, way too sweet for this world
