Michael Jackson is the world’s most famous person of the 21st century. I have always been curious to know what his life was really like during the peak of his fame. In order to find the best answer to that question, I met with his personal photographer, Sam Emerson, who worked for Michael Jackson from 1984 to 1994.
He witnessed the most iconic moments, which we are going to discuss in my upcoming interview.

Sam obviously didn’t like Michael and never did. But that’s not a reflection on Michael or Sam. It’s to do with Sam’s personal experiences and his own personality as well. Michael didn’t really let down his guard with everyone and he obviously didn’t for Sam and that might’ve hurt Sam’s feelings.

@eimensaleem280 9 месяцев назад

Also, I see a lot of feeling of resentment here and could be many reasons. I mean, sure Sam worked with other big names but not as big as MJ. I mean, outs side of states, who would know sam if it wasn’t for MJ? MJ’s power was ALL over the world even BACK then without social media. I mean, you can’t just say you have talent and that is. I’m sure, Sam has talent but MJ’s name is the biggest out of all his stuff so there’s some weird feeling at SAM’s end.. too bad honestly

@erenyeeagah204 9 месяцев назад

@@globalcitizenn i dont think that was the real problem. MJ got him fired for no reason, for something he didnt do but for something another person did and that person still got to continue working with him while he was kicked out and heshowed no support when he faced the allegations and then begged him to come back without apologizing for what he did. im an MJ fan but that was messed up from him. you could argue thathis way of apologizing was by giving him ownership for all of his future pictures but thats not the same.

We don't know the complete story why he was fired. There might have been a reason. Michael is known that he always was humble, polite and loyal to his band members and other artists he worked with. Sam Emerson might not have told the truth, he liked to show a certain image of himself. He seemed to me very arrogant. Why would he fire him without a reason, that doesn't make sense.

@Gabrielle4870 8 месяцев назад

@benscr 9 месяцев назад

A very interesting but a very cold interview with Sam Emerson. I attended the Bad Tour in 1988, and I was one of those teenage fans waiting outside The Mayfair Hotel here in London to see MJ in person (which I was lucky enough to see him in person) back in 1988. I remember seeing Sam Emerson, with his Camera taking photos of fans, talking friendly to fans etc. He appeared very very happy and clearly part of MJ’s team. I also remember fake news story in The about Sam Emerson. I never believed it then as it obviously wasn’t true. I do think MJ firing Sam Emerson over the sneaky Bob Jones had a serious effect on his working relationship with MJ, and his opinion on MJ. Which is understandable. I was always aware MJ fired Sam Emerson, and was surprised in 2012 to see him speaking so well about MJ (especially in contrast to this interviewing) in the ‘Bad 25’ documentary. But as Sam Emerson kept saying “Paycheque” in regards to many parts of his career with MJ. Could it be the case of Sam Emerson being a hypocrite and taking a “Paycheque” from the The Estate to speak in a more friendly tone about MJ in ‘Bad 25’. There isn’t anything horrible in this interview that Sam Emerson says about MJ. Only really that MJ wasn’t a person he wanted to be around (Paycheque, Mr Emerson), but to many of us MJ is someone we’d have loved to be around, and to him MJ was “ The Boss” and Work. But I can’t help but feel a loss of respect for Sam Emerson the same way I’ve lost respect for Quincy Jones. Aside from MJ’s big mistake of sacking him over Bob Jones, and not taking time to listen to his side of the story. I do think his little digs at undermining MJ by saying Elton John was the biggest artist around circa 1984 was pathetic. I have also read an interview with Sam Emerson’s son in a MJ fan magazine about 10yrs ago, and it was a very nice interview, and I think Sam Emerson liked being around MJ and got on with him very well. Especially from reading comments he’s made on his Instagram account, in which he says MJ called him a Magician in one of his comments when asked what MJ thought of his photos. Plus the fact, when MJ phoned him to comeback and work for him again, in 1991 he cameback and didn’t hang up like he did on Bill Bray etc. Plus Sam Emerson currently has an exhibition on showing his MJ photos.

I’m almost positive that the Oprah interview was right before the 1993 allegations, Oprah never had any questions of misconduct with kids in that interview. In fact it happened right after the Oprah interview because the interview gave MJ very high acceptance in the publics eye and so that’s when Evan Chandler ( annoyed by MJ’s shrewd move to gain some public affection ) launched his claim of misconduct after MJ refused to loan him twenty million dollars to make a movie.

Oh, thank you so much for this complete interview, recently I made a tutorial on how to draw MJ and the photo I chose for reference was by this great photographer, so somehow RU-vid recommended this video to me and I am so glad I watched it completely, so very interesting, all the stories he could tell about Elton and Rod as well, even Miley... but I am glad this interview was merely focused on MJ. You made some great questions there, congratulations!!!

Its obvious bob Jones sold that story to the sun .I wonder how many false stories he sold about Michael. Sam also sounds so bitter to. Michael will always be the greatest.😂no matter how many watches Elton gives away

@theansweris4241 7 месяцев назад

and if Bob Jones did that he had an interest telling MJ that it was Emerson who likely believed it really. Otherwise how would it serve him to fire Emerson?

@jfacts2113 7 месяцев назад

1:15:53 he contradicts his story here. He says "I told you those weren't mine" but earlier he said he did not talk to MJ about this so how could he tell him there weren't his? When and where did he tell him before meeting with him in that trailer in 1991, two years after he was fired, that he didn't do it? 1:11:40 He does not even say that he asked Frank Dileo or Branca: I want to talk to MJ directly about this but he just says "I didn't get the chance to talk to him". Well, did he even want that chance in the first place? What did he do to try to talk to MJ about this directly? 1:13:22 why would he get recognition he didn't do it if MJ really believed he did it because that's what Bob Jones told him? It's not that Sam did any effort to contact MJ directly and explain himself so why would MJ believe he was even interested in explaining himself? 1:13:32 he says MJ woudln't even listen to the explanation but earlier he said he did not even talk to MJ about this so what exactly should MJ have listened to? Why would he want to fire him if he knew it wasn't him?

@richardmoonstone52 8 месяцев назад

Sam says they were not friends, but their story sounds very much like they were friends who had a lot of respect for each other, not just respect as friends, but respect for each other as artists. I think Michael Jackson saw him as a good friend and one of the few people outside his family he could trust and maybe Sam just does not realise it. Certainly Michael saw him as one of the few friends or people in his work that he could trust. I think when Sam was gone, Michael missed not just his work, but also his friend and wanted, not just his photographer back whose work he respects, but also his friend he had a treasured history with that he could trust. It's sad Sam does not seem to realise this and how special he was to Michael and so I hope one day he does because they have such a beautiful story. Thanks for the wonderful photos and works of art. Peace and love

Give God a little credit jeese! If he made Michael, he can make another. He was only a man. Not a perfect God. He worked hard and practiced and had millions of dollars. Don't doubt yourself, God or other artists. Who knows. Maybe God will provide a greater artist. Michael was only human.

@taurus8382 7 месяцев назад

The interviewer missed some opportunities to ask some really good questions. 1). Was there a particular reason Sam didn't want to be around Michael? 2). Why didn't he want to stay at Neverland? 3). How did Michael and Oprah get along. Michael always appears uneasy around her. You can see it in the photos but especially during the interview. I wish they would've shown the photos longer for the audience to see. The interviewer just kinda holds them up a few seconds. Not nearly long enough to appreciate them. Sam Emerson's Sylvester Stallone impression is spot on. 🤌🏾 And.... dude loves him some champagne .🍾 🥂 He clearly drank more than the interviewer. 😏
