Michael Jackson - Ben ( RARE )

[Roseleepv]

The movie was a sequel to the 70s version of Willard. It was about an outcast boy who befriends Willard's biggest rat named Ben.

The boy was attached to the ray as a pet. And nobody would accept that. They tried to take him away and everything! Ben was his only friend. Hence the beautiful love song!

Why couldn't I have been growing up in the 70's? Everything today is so screwed up, including his death. RIP MJ.

[TheGirlIsS0Danger0us]

Michael has such a beautiful voice in this video, just like an angel :)

...as a matter of fact he always had a voice of an angel... Rest In Peace, Michael

[TheMOIIIii]

[Cheeseisgoodontoast]

It was about his Pet Rat. There are multiple interviews. His dad killed the rat with a mousetrap and said it was gross. Who cares anyways. The song is beautiful, his voice is beautiful, we love him. RIP MJ

[MileycSpace2]

it was for a movie. and then for the movie ppl liked it so they had a rat in the movie so the song could resemble to the rat and his friendship, but the song was for a different movie

[darienreaper]

he named a rat he found in his house after the rat in the movie -.- his dad didnt know it was his friend probably have u ppl wud do something similar if u saw a rat in ur house

[Theshannypanny]

u guys who have written Evil Stuf u can have it just 4 urslf!!

[partyladygirl]

oh yeah i rat LOL ben ur always running here and there YEAH SOUNDS LIKE A RAT LOL

aww RIP MICHAEL JACKSON

[rachelalondon]

i dont know what came first, MJ's rat or the movie...but he was pictured with a rat and his sister both gazing at it.Lets put it to rest along with MJ, in peace...

[jaa1994]

the movie came first then the song was made for the movie.

[nakita13williams]

no the song is about his only friend a rat and he called him mr rat it was not made for the movie and his dad killed him he alwase used to feed him stuff when every one was in bed

[jaa1994]

lol no the song wasn't even written by him and the movie american dream misled you. Go on wikipedia and look at the difference in the movie, michael had a pet rat before he joins the jackson 5 but Katherine, his mother said he had pet rats until he join the jackson 5. So you were mislead and need to do more research.

[rachelalondon]

lol jodie foster at the end, i wanted to see that part.

[nadyi75]

pffff nul !!!

[wschac1]

Darn you people! The song was for the movie Ben about a boy and his pet rat named Ben. Youtube the moive trailer and see for yourself.

[aouani]

The song is about a pet rat which his father was supposed to have 'Accidently' killed.

Look it up if you dont beleive me.

[UpThePosh10]

Your all wrong, Ben Was written about his Pet RAT Ben.... Not a sequel!

[pinkandtrees]

if you want...

[edmame]

[johanna794]

MOOI

[marcotechio27]

[LifeAsAbigail]

god bless you michael

moonwalk on the clouds know

your free

i love you x

[pinkandtrees]

OMGGGG. he didnt write it from personal experience, he didnt even write it.. it was from a movie called 'rat' , and was menat for donnie osmond... maybe it related to him because he was lonely but it wasnt based on his rat friend ben. jeeez people do your research.

[totalnothing]

Actually, it was from a movie called "Ben," which was about a rat - not a movie called "Rat." It was a sequel to "Willard." Do your research LOL

[vipermatthias]

@LifeAsAbigail Its not a pet , its a RAT he found on the streets or something like that

[ECFletcher2009]

i dont understand. someone please tell me how this is a joke?

[samuca62]

You are all idiots...

[juanalejo9]

viviras por siempre michael

[ambientsky01]

RIP from manapla

[silkeeuh]

Rest in peace.

[purkoy]

I remember after he had the physical transformation (from black to fair) he was undergoing some health routine to increase his life span. There was this controlled environment chamber where he would spend some time in it (especially when he is resting and sleeping) for better life expectancy. We were wondering how many years he would be living. But I am really surprised with his leaving. May Peace Be Upon him... The King of Pop!

[rainiernew]

RIP MJ

[potchingatben]

R.I.P.  MICHAEL FROM PHIL.

[RememberToday4ever]

26 years ago, I begged my mum for some extra pocket money to buy the Thriller album (my very first album). I also remember the excitement of placing the needle on that record for the first time and been blown away by his music. I must have danced for days back then. I was also very lucky to see him live at Wembley Stadium in the early nineties with his BAD concert. Thanks Michael for the good memories and your magical music. RIP from England

[ephemerol]

Rest in Peace, KING!!!!

RAT ^^

[gax2121]

jajajajaj

[dearprudence11]

i think it's illegal to show oscar performances on the internet. i can never find like isaac hayes doing shaft in 72. any way this was at the oscars in the 1973, which had the nominees from the year 1972 which explains why ben is there. and the people after are jodie foster and johnny whitaker, they were in tom sawyer together, which had an oscar nominated score.

[TheFatHitman]

WTF THIS CRAP IS NOT RARE!

[japangirl87]

yes it is actually because its from a very very old tv show that you cant get anywhere anymore so there its impossible to get unless you taped it while you were in that time so ha..

[glotex99]

mmmmm.....bue

[elwantesiberiano]

I felt so emotional almost about to cry!..but only for just a few seconds HAHA!! I`m fine now!

[Bleak]

It was funny how the singers at the end started and the video was like "aw, hell no" and ended. LOL

[rockinrobin24]

who are the last people on 00:09?

[ally121a]

[mj80s4life]

[joriice]

I don´t understand, if the video says Oscars 1972, why say 1973 in the description? :p

[DSL89]

This is Michael Jackson at the Oscars. Ben didn't win the Oscar but it did win a Golden Globe.

[LJ43094H]

Where did you find this where can I see the whole video
