This interview makes me smile so much, just to hear of the magic of Michael. I would have loved to see him recording those songs. And I love that this interview took place before his "death" I can't bear watching all interviews where people talk about him in past tense (as if not being here anymore). Michael u are beautiful, love u always

[deborahbremmer]

YES HE IS!

1:04 - 1:12, You can tell it was James Ingram who also wrote P.Y.T. And he even sang the vocals correctly after 27 years the song was written

Bless James Ingram, it's obvious that he has great respect for Michael.

@MrJacksonvill I agree, everyone else is just so mediocre, boring, no mystery or real talent whatsoever. I'm a rocker girl so I don't listen to Janet, but I listened to MJ!

[nenabunena]

LOL! That's funny! I heard that whenever MJ sang he couldn't help but dance too! He stayed that way until the end.

This is just great. MJ is perfect:) Thanks Mr. James Ingram for writing a beautiful and fun song for MJ. We all think we're MJ's PYT lol.

[AlovesMJ]
