[MimiLovesMJ]

[MimiLovesMJ]

Awwh, bless him when she asked him at beginning about did he ever remember not performing, he paused and said not really. U can just see some pain in his eyes. Bless him ! In a way i feel sorry for him.

[cku99]

Michael never stopped looking cute :)even when he was an adult :)

[MsCLavette]

He was a sweet soul. I love him too.

[zizooo94man]

[200damary]

@zizooo94man duh redneck

[ElzBelz211297]

I can't stop watching it, he's beautiful!"

[ElzBelz211297]

He is perfect. I just don't get why people think I'm weird for liking such a great person. (He was also beautiful.)

[kazmjfan4eva2010]

He was such a lovely and sweet teenager lovely smile everything:)

I loved the fro years

x

[claudiadragnea]

His voice and his smile melted my heart.I cannot put in words how much I love him!

[jackson1389]

OMG HE SOUND LIKE A BABY :-)

[Becky123190]

omg he is so sexy and he sounds nervous at the beginning. Where did u find this if its from a site could u send me a link.

[aimafa]

I think, if his look would have stayed that way, nobody would have ever supected him to be a child molester. I mean, come on, look at him there, he's an angel, so cute, beautiful, shy and pure, it's amazing! But he seems so sad in way and uncomfortable...

[milkinmychocolate]

@aimafa What do you mean if his look HADN'T changed?!?!?! Michael was always gorgeous. He was even gorgeous when his look "CHANGED." He still looked like an angel and sweet and charming. The folks that accused him for being a child molester were just ignorant. If it had anything to do with his looks,it just shows how ignorant they were and it's a shame.

[misumike25]

Diana was always so nice towards M.J. nothing but positives things 2 say about him, as it should've always been by talk shows & the media. I think she really like him & kinda felt his sadness & pain he tried so hard 2 hide, she knew he had a kind sweet Spirit & a loving generous Heart. I loved when they were on her show, now they r singing, dancing & laughing all the time in Heaven. God Bless them both.

[binkybreezy1988]

Give me the address to the one dislike so i can beat his ass "jay and silent bob" style! :DXD

[strawberry5889]

No matter how much Michael smiles in ANY interview hes done. He was holding in the pain. He hated to be interviewed. He saw it as "an intrusion" he said so himself. He felt violated by interviews. And he was painfully shy as well...

[truth8809]

Michael is over there jammin all by himself....as usual lol

[changemeization]

2:37 sweeeet...his laugh never changed :-)

[MJ5er]

0:30-0:40 its funny how he says he doesnt miss not having an average childhood and that they get to do stuff other kids do. i love him, but wasn't his entire adult life "compensating" for the childhood he never had? i just think its weird.

[miap]

@MJ5er I'm guessing that he didn't really want be vocal to the public about the negative things in his life. Especially during those years when he was still under the management of record companies that would tell him what to say during interviews. I think when he went solo and took charge of his own career he was able to be more honest.

[isabella23121961]

@MJ5er He couln't say it all during interviews... they wetre told what not to say... and plus, at that age you still don't realize very well what you are missing until later in life

[amozoness6]

@MJ5er he's lying. at that time he was still tied to the family... do you think he could come out and just say 'yes, it's awful- my dad beats me and at 5 I was made the provider' ? think before you judge.

[TheRaGiTe]

He's really nervous, you can hear him try to calm down at the beginning.

[ThisHotelPlace]

@TheRaGiTe No, HE isn't nervous. HE is very tired because the interview has been taken right after HE had performed One Day In Your Life and We're Almost There.

[paradais2]

@ThisHotelPlace Yes, he also looks flushed in the face which would suggest a strenuous performance just prior to the interview. I think he sounds confident.

[SkInHoUnD]

@ThisHotelPlace Great USE of CAPITALIZATION

[baseballllll1]

@TheRaGiTe he doesnt get nervous

[prettyyoungthing89]

@TheRaGiTe It seems like he's trying to catch his breath

[okcoolios]

he is ssooooo CUTE! here he's only like what, a 3 years older than i, and i am not kidding i have SUCH a big crush on him!! he's just so good looking and nice and pure and sweet and handsome:)

[OlyviaStaples]

I just LOVE how at 2:54 michael breaks out into a dance. That boy just can hold still during a song. haha :)

[cutiefrogskermit]

sometime randy just goes in my closet and just take my stuff out" LMFAO

[kfag101]

he looked better when he looked like a black "man"

[num1Jaysta]

@kfag101 WHy did you put man in quotations?

[onlineobserver1]

@kfag101 STFU!!!!

[MrsMJLoveAlways]

Michael was 18... I am currently 18... IF ONLY!!!!!

Oh my, and his voice is so soft, I'm about to pass out over here

& did you hear his laugh @ 2:36 He always had that short HEHE laugh =P

[natagirl93]

@MrsMJLoveAlways

[DMob888333]

[80srockerrr]

[lightpurple35]

lol he is sooooo funny he is precious to me and my heart!!!!!! i love you!!!!! michael

[xKeepTheFaithx]

his voice is so quiet, smooth, & sexy I could listen to him talk all daay(:

[ph1484]

@xKeepTheFaithx It was a front. Nice guy though

[TheThrillerFan1]

I love Mike's voice, I could listen to it for hours and never get bored. I also liked how nice Dinah Shore was with Mike. If only every person that interviewed him treated him that nicely. Bashir could have learned a thing or two from Dinah, same goes for Diane Sawyer. But, Mike always gives good interviews! There's never a dull moment as far as I'm concerned. He was always very gracious and humble, and I can't forget shy, lol! Michael was truly a blessing from God. Thanks again, Marinela! <333

[spiritchild16]

@TheThrillerFan1 omg YES!!! <3

[TheThrillerFan1]

Thanks for sending me this video, Marinela! I loved it! I had seen snippets of this interview on ET, but I'd never seen the whole thing before. And yes, even as a straight guy, I can see that Michael was a very beautiful soul! I guess at the time, he didn't think his childhood was that bad. But later, he realized it wasn't normal. :( He seems so innocent here, and that innocence, purity and shyness never really left. It was always there, especially when MJ would get embarrassed! haha. continued

[snakespot]

This is sad.

[MichaelJackson7447]

TOOOO CUTE I LOVE MICHAEL JACKSON. <3 RIP MJ I LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING . MJ IS THE MOST SEXY,PURE,SWEET,INOCENT MAN-HUMAN EVER<3

[animeblue13]

SEXY!!!!

[shadowmia22]

They were two truly good peoplel

[TheJazzlady40]

Love Ya Mike

[eyeluvmjj]

He looks so delicious I want to eat him up with a spoon

[kazluv4disney10]

He was so lovely<3

[slolove06]

It is a shame he cudnt watch himself as beautiful as he was...sometimes that happens to many of ous!

[misskate822]

Wow try to make him feel bad about his childhood Dinah lol

[darkberry001]

Michael had a very big natural beauty, he was so handsome, why the world is so cruel that made him think different?

[Tatstube77]

ahhhhhhh I just keep falling in love with him more and more everyday and I can't help it!!

Michael I love you more!!

[jm1lvmj]

She is really concerned for him, motherly.  She tries to talk about the brothers, but her main focus is her concern for MJ's well-being. Lovely.

[alli13941]

so precious!!!

[Blackjesus3]

he has such a soft voice here

[boamandobo]

i love michael to, but mike never had a childhood

[GadgetTrish]

Michael is so great because he knows how to find the soul of a song. I find him so amazing. It's sad about the vacation comment, MJ sacrificed so much for his craft. Thank you for this post - it's GREAT!

[mjhuong]

Michael is so pure and sexy. A natural sexiness that created only by God. LOOOOOOOOOVE HIM SOOOOO MUCH!

[DeishaGuy]

He kinda hesitated when she said something about not having a NORMAL childhood! He's so handsome...

[KeepTrue56]

OMG! i looooove this! he is soo wonderful! he is soo beautiful! and wow he is soo sexy! I love him!

[KeepTrue56]

Wow I dont think i ever seen this, and aww she asked him, I dont know if at this point mj realized, but he didnt have a normal child hood! wow his whole demenor is soooo magical! what an angel.

[ThisHotelPlace]

@KeepTrue56 Of course, here MICHAEL is so young, HE is 18, and HE didn't realize that HIS childhood hasn't been a normal one! And maybe at that time HE was still henpecked by Joe!

And, wow MICHAEL is so beautiful here out of any imagination! Yes, HE is the most beautiful creation of God! HE is just PERFECT!

HIS smile is the most precious thing in the Universe, and HIS eyes are the most brilliant stars in the sky!

Oh I LOVE YOU,MICHAEL, SO MUCH! I WANT YOU, NOW,MORE THAN EVER!

[MJJsWife4EveR]

@ThisHotelPlace I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU : ) You've just said what I always think about Michael : )

[7fire7ice7]

@KeepTrue56 michael said he didn't relaize until the thriller era that something was missing.
