I feel like the message / story of the music video always gets overshadowed by the music, but I think it's pretty powerful, especially with how it relates to Michael at the time he made it.

Being 'Bad' isn't being a tough guy or gangster like so many make it out to be, it's staying true to yourself and your roots. While also escaping from all the evil and baggage that comes from trying to make a better life for yourself, no matter how others may judge you for it.

As for Michael's part, it pretty nicely 'explains' his physical changes. A message that would be expanded upon in Dangerous. His acting in the video itself is also great.

I wish kids nowadays would take a page out this one, lol.

She is loving Michael so much.

I am a 30 years old woman and as an adult, I have always been proud of the fact that I wasn’t “fan” of anyone. I like good music, good movies, good art in general but as an adult I have never been obsessing over any celebrity.

Ever since the movie came out, I have been my 13 yo self again, which started listening to MJ a lot EXACTLY after he died. I remember how I was mourning him and even though my family is a big MJ fan and has always been one, they were concerned.

Thank God my husband is neurodivergent like me and understands hyperfixations and hyperinterests very well. I am not sure any other man would be chill about his wife scrolling MJ content at 3-4 am at night almost every weekend (when I know I can sleep next morning) 🤣

I now realise what adult people mean when they say they are a fan of someone. Apparently, you can go through this “fan” phase even as an adult too.

I have been playing his vinyls much more than I did before. My other vinyls from the collection I possess got dirt on them coz I have barely touched anything else lately.

I have this strong will to purchase History and Invincible non-picture disc vinyls. Last time I checked and I realised they weren’t pressing them anymore, I kinda accepted the fact and was okay with apple music but NOW I am willing to pay disproportionate amount of money for those discs.

Had he died from some illness or a tragic accident or idk, something much more “common” I think it would ve been easier to accept the fact that he is gone but he died in a such random way, all of a sudden, due to a freaking mistake of that doctor that my brain refuses to accept the reality.

He is the only artist which has no flop track (in my opinion ofc). I have gone through his entire catalogue many times and every damn track is a masterpiece.

He was so BIG that even his most underrated album, Invincible, is absolute genius of an album! Maybe one of my all time favourite albums! Imagine being so BIG that your most underrated work of art is that good…

I posted this once as a post solely about allegations and it got removed so I will just mention this that this year I went down that rabbit hole once again and finally I realised that the man was SO humble, kind, calm and grounded , being the biggest star this world has ever seen, that I think it was beyond the human capacity of comprehension to understand that phenomenon - so they started attacking him…

Whenever I start enjoying his music I remember how he was treated and I get teary eyes. I have never cared about any celebrity on a personal level like I do about him.

One of the first things I will do as a parent will be teaching my kids how to use the turntable and let them know where I keep MJ vinyls. His legacy will never die as long as human kind exists.

Hey everyone!

I just came to know that Invincible and HIStory got new Dolby mixes and remasters on Apple Music, so the question is that are those mixes exclusively available on Apple Music or did they also update it on other platforms like Spotify, Amazon Music etc?

I’ve seen videos going into detail about the relationship between Michael and Tatiana, and it all seems like such a mystery…and very odd.

it’s so strange how tatiana was chosen out of many girls personally by Michael to star in TWYMMF, how she was invited by him to the set of leave me alone, taking multiple photos together and her kissing him on the cheek. To then have her visit his home and meet his family and get close with his mom, all to then invite her on tour but barely see her until on stage, just to let her go after she kissed him?

But beforehand she had kissed him on the cheek on stage, and he never seemed angry. Even other crew members said her kiss on the cheek made his day.

So it’s clear he did like her.

But the mystery comes from why he never spoke to her again after the kiss happened (especially when she stated that she had asked him if she could take it further and he said yes)

I just feel like she may have been led on by Michael, why would he have her so much in his world? To then cut her off so easily.

He had a team and manager, but he was still the one who had a final say.

He also expressed if he loved or liked someone, but here he never expressed that verbally, but he shows so much interest like he does with everyone else he likes by his actions (photoshoots, making her meet his family, taking her on tour/in his circle)

He also didnt look angry after she kissed him and was happy with her kissing him on the cheek.

It makes me believe that he liked her but the kiss made his managers mad because they didn’t want it to affect his career since he was at his peak.

But I’m still wondering why Michael never spoke to her at all in the end? From her perspective other than the kiss she didn’t do anything drastic for him to dislike her. After being so fond of her it doesn’t make sense.

If he did end up using his managers to fire her because of the kiss, to never speak to her again, that’s very odd behaviour. Especially after spending so much time with her and knowing she likes you.

It’s such a odd mystery
