Rare Michael Jackson Interview with Diann Collins Final Chapter

[alexhatzia]

I've never heard this interview before, when is it from? It can't be 1988...

[aleuberio]

I see Michael touched by the essence of Life, the one that God gave us each to treasure. He is simply the sweetest, wisest, most amazing pure heart I have ever witnessed. I love you dearly, Michael!

1988: MJ Interview with Diann Collins

[pippietater]

I love this interview. He sounds is so sweet and honest, gigglin and talkin. Also the interviewer comes off as kind

[jacksonation1]

tnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnxxxxxxxxx­xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx MJ

[pecky143]

it made him so sad when she brought up race- then pressed the issue-- his tone totally changes.. :( how many times he had to deal with those kinds of questions too.. and knowing how he was just sooo not wired that way.

[Primitive26]

Always so humble, so sweet.

[dreamysheart]

Great interview! I never heard this one before. Thank you!

[lovlisparrow]

It so funny the his kids were

Little they spoke just like him.

[jacksparrow14]

how old is he in this interview?

[sdiawaku]

he is so awesome! "music is colorless" AMEN! "I don't think in terms of color"

[sdiawaku]

"I'm human just like you are, .... I'm no better than you" Michael Jackson is the most humble loving creature whose presence the earth has ever been graced with. God bless his family. I miss him more and more each day. I can't imagine the heartache they feel. So many great people die young, it's a shame. God must have felt he had fulfilled his purpose here on earth but it still really hurts that he had to leave.

[bronxbabi100]

Is it hard to keep a "black" perspective on a private level, or is it hard to look back and remember your roots? " No, all I have to do is look in the mirror, or look at my hands." Even though his skin color may have changed later in life, make no mistake about it, Mike grew up in the black experience and culture. You never lose that, no matter how much you achieve in life. I miss you, Mike.

[MoonwalkerGirlx3]

aww hes like the most humble person i have ever seen..hes soo sweet I always want to hug him soo bad..

[nycchick93]

"this is for the blacks and this is for the whites" lol that was funny

[broasca]

Thank you for this interview. I love hearing him talk so passionately about his art and his dreams. I wonder what kind of movies he was thinking of, but judging by his videos (or short films, as he called them), they would've been amazing, just like everything he did. Man, how lucky are we to have been alive during the Michael Jackson era?! I really miss him:(

[digdatmusic]

I just noticed that he said "I didn't have stage parents who shoved me into doing something It wasn't that if it was that I don't think i would have made it this long I would have probably overdosed or something" then he giggles right at 3:17 maybe he just didn't enjoy it anymore....

[jacksparrow14]

@digdatmusic

he means, he loves performing.. no one forced him to do it.. he has it on himself.. unlike any artist who their parents force them to take music class, go to theatre even though their kid dont want it...

[bunnieroe]

Wonderful interview with a truly wonderful, amazing man. <3

Thank you.

[chaotic87]

he said ''I am not better than you..'' :)))

Michael you are the best, you are uniqe....

you are the King of Music

[bluesaway1]

I can't thank you enough for posting this. It made my day. Michael is a constant source of inspiration to me-- "I don't believe in Failure"....I'm going to remember that and learn not to believe in it either... Thank you Michael . I miss you.

[globalwaronpoverty]

I am going to learn from that as well. Not to believe in failure or race. Music is for all people. It's colorless.

[queenallegro96]

u can tell this was in the early 80's. his voice is so sweet.

[meneshayounot]

oooohhh he should've played peter pan that would've been amazing!!

[Fashion4life]

I know right! So saad he didnt :( ..i wished he could have done it ! perhaps his children will do it one day ^^ peace & love :D michael sounds really adorable and sexy ;D

[sveny1000]

Oh my god, he sounds soooo sweet <3

LOOOVE <3

[anaamamj58]

Oh Michael! I sat listening to his voice and his words in a trance like state! What a beautiful, kind, gentle and caring person he was. I pray that his children will grow up to be just as kind and caring. I love you more Michael.x

[MJFAN4life100]

God created such a good man. I thank Katherine and Joseph Jackson for raising such a wonderful son. No matter how bad his childhood was he didn't use it as an excuse to be rude or mean or delinquent. He still was kind and sweet and loving despite how the world treated him. He will be loved more and more each day.

[61grammy]

Such a unique and humble person. Michael was special and at times misunderstood. He had to do things his way and the media just made a mockery of him and never treated him the way he wanted. They forget he was a human being first and they didn't care. God bless you Mike and rest in peace. We love you forever and always. Your music and your life will always be celebrated by your fans un this country and around the world. You left us too soon

[globalwaronpoverty]

Michael left us way too soon. I want him back. This is the hardest thing I've ever had to face in my entire life an I've lost a child so it's not like I've never experienced death before. With Michael's death I find it hard to live each day knowing he's not there anymore. If I'm going through this I can only imagine what his children must be going through. I feel really sorry for them to have had such a great father and for him to be gone just like that, not coming back. That has to hurt bad.

[8mycrab]

This is a very nice interview.

She sounds like a sincere, gentle person, harder to find these days.

[KingAddi]

I`ve listen to many interviews from Michael jackson and each intervie was all surprisingly amazing...he was loving, respectful..his opinions over every matter were truthful, honest and pure...although he is no longer here with us but..I made up my mind..I`ll cherish his good works and his example as a great person! I thank GOD for the gift he had given Michael...and thank you Michael for sharing this gift with us.

[MJFAN4life100]

I agree with you.

[ranmae57]

i hope martin bashir reads this! this is how an interview is to be conducted, and not adding words to it!

[blacorwhite09]

wow! this is a great interview. RiP mj

[Lisboooa]

Listen at 3:47 ...

[Mimimusiq]

and uhh.. I love you!

[mrxsmommy]

3:15 That made me raise my eyebrows and think to myself, oh GOD! That is sad to hear. Such a sweet and soothing voice. Shy but confident in his words. I wish he felt as gorgeous as all of us as his fans knows he is. Sweet Angel

[mjlover4003]

he sound so sexy

[LoveSoldier4MJ]

Thank you and I love you more Michael!

[PoetGerri]

A very nice interview with Michael.  He does have a wonderful speaking voice. And I love how he always answers you direct and to the point and will think before he speaks. Thoughtful and insightful. Love how he says he has removed the word failure from his vocabulary!

[cottlesbutt]

I listen to this and hear such a beautiful person.

I wonder what Sneddon was doing at this point in his life when this interview was taking place and the maturity and insight and humility of Michael Jackson. I bet Sneddon was the school bully beating kids up for their lunch tickets

[NaturVita]

MJ was flashy and you can tell he lived an extravagant life, however, he was also very humble an you can tell he was did no have a big Ego like most of todays singers/ celebrities.

[buetja]

Hence Kanye's GIGANTIC EGO! He's experiencing that fall right now...

[michaelljackson09]

he just wanted a normal life like anyone else, but no one would give him one, one thing i can say is thankyou for all your great music, well love you!

[welovemj1]

3:20

:(

[bebuchina1]

This is the answer to people who ask why he is sooooooo loved... because he was real, he was humble, he didn't thought more about himself than what he was: a human giving all he got to make others happy and that made him happy!

[rockinrex]

Very interesting interview Thanks for posting.Michael is so sweet & humble.

[lenabenas]

Say what you want about his parents but they raised him right. He was so humble and he really seemed appreciative and greatful for being "average and human" with a talent. He loved being on stage. Its also nice to just hear him and not see him talk - his voice never changed! It reminds you that although he changed on the outside - he was always the same inside.

[khamone]

whooa at about 3:00-3:16 he talks about loving the stage, and if he had stage parents who shoved him into doing something he didn't love he said he would have overdosed....

[zarifa7]

who is that at 4:42?

[digdatmusic]

Brooke Shields

[zarifa7]

thanks! I wish he could have married Michael. They made such a cute couple what do you think?

[Jillgangster]

it wasn't even love he had to date her because ppl where accusing him of being gay. and an insider said he really wasn't into her kisses., she just like him cuz he was the star michael jackson.

[najahmcbryde]

what girl r u talking about??

[zarifa7]

Michael you are the most humble, sweetest, person. I love you. all others are full of ego.

[vagrl1970]

i love this man

[vargak]

Oooohhhh this is very very touching at 550

[7fire7ice7]

lol i like michael's answers, he's so humble

[MrsMJJForever]

I know Michael baby, other "celebrities" think that they are on top of the world and forget where they come from. Michael is so intelligent. He's absolutely amazing. I don't find him weird at all. He really is like the rest of us. He's not immortal. He just has a special gift. He always remains so humble, and he didn't want to be white people, he loves his race, and he doesn't see color and neither do I because we are all equal, brothers and sisters in God's eyes. Michael, I love you.
