Maybe it is just that I know the story of his life, but it seemed to me that as I watch him sing this song, I get a glimpse at a frightened, lonely, bewildered child, aching in vain for the kind of friend he was rhapsodizing about in this song. I didn't know him personally of course, but I got the sense that he lived (and died) carrying an immense burden of pain.
I wish I still had this album. There were some great songs on it. MJ had such a beautiful voice. Hard to believe such as beautiful song was about a murderous rat but we loved it .
@te481 Ele não quis ficar branco,ele sofreu de duas duenças chamadas lupos e Vitiligo o que acabou resultando na sua mudança de cor. KING OF POP 4EVER!
Had a yellow lab called Ben who used to come find me when my Mum put this on the record player! I'm 33 now....this song still makes me cry......life was much simpler when I was a kid! God help all the 'kids' now....wouldn't want to be a kid now!
@IDontCheckMyInbox this song makes me cry too, i had to learn the song for my musictest on highschool and sang it on the same tone like michael when he was this age. that's now 30 years ago and i was at that time 17. i saw before the movie ben about a rat as a pet with a boy like michael which was so ill that he couldn't go to school and had no friends or a brother or sister, so he felt verry lonesome just like mj in later life. verry sad how it ended
I love this song from the bottom of my heart. It's the fact that the song reminds me of my boyfriend so much since his name is Ben and that is sung by one of my favorite artists of all time. Such a great combination. Love you. <3
Absolutely right about the Jacko name calling. He hated it and it was so disrespectful of them to start it in the first place. He didn't deserve to be hurt by the media and ppl. They needed to walk a mile in his shoes one time. He gave this world so much. He had values and morals from childhood up until his death. He was a kind hearted generous man and greatest enertainer of all time. God bless the Jackson family. RIP!!!!
y'all need 2 chill out with all this jacko stuff becuz everybody know that people from the media just try 2 find something wrong with him they never get the good stuff like how many charities he supported.
This is the way I like to remember our amazing Jacko, not as the ''pervert'' and crazy guy that everyone made him out to be, but for the young talent in singing and preforming that made him famous, before he had everything... truely a shame that the world has lost such a legend...
I know that you're saying something good about him, but please, please, please don't refer to him as 'Jacko.' It's just that the other word that was always included with that name was 'Wacko,' and I certainly am offended by that. Michael was offended by the comment as well, as he once stated in an interview. I'm sorry, please don't think I'm being a snob or anything. Just please, out of respect for Michael, don't call him that.
Perhaps now the world reproduces the list of those who made us feel more alive, free and beautiful: Hendrix, Morrison, Elvis, Freddie Mercury, Lennon, and they realize that with your death was ended an era when superstars had beyond everything, a grace that made them be unique... i love you Michael!!! Rip!!! :( I don't listen to a word they say / They don't see you as I do :(
That beautiful words writing is the pure truth I support you ..!
Indeed we love to michael ..!
It was only and truth seguire listening to his music because there was valuable mas that I leave us in our hearts and for it did not go away poque I it have in my heart with his incredible dances we love michael ours peace to his remains
Je n'arrête pas d'écouter ta Musique, je n'arrête pas de voir ta danse... Je pleure...J'ai tout simplement du mal a accepté que tu n'es plus parmi nous...
Mais tu serra la dans nos cœurs, dans nos esprits car tu es une LÉGENDE Implacable que Dieu nous as offert...
Tu vie dans nos coeurs, et tu serra toujours dans nos cœurs Michael, !!! Si j'ai des enfants dans l'avenir, je parlerai de toi et je montrerai ta danse et tes chansons...
just very few song make with me that i will cry on it but on this i'm crying.very few singer can sing like him...no...nobody...in this video how old is he? i love you Jacko!!!!
