Thanks to the BBC, we have an intelligent documentary about Michael. We do not need all these stupid reports and naughty lies about his life.

Thank you SO much for posting this....it's wonderful. I keep watching it over and over. I've used so many words trying to describe how Michael makes me feel, how seeing that Billie Jean vid and Mo25 performance just set me on fire inside....the memories of my childhood that are evoked when I see them....and ugh..there just aren't adequate words to capture my feeling. But I think we all feel that...he's magical and he transcends any description. I wish I could have thanked him for everything

6:13 - 6:26 - Savion is so moved that you can see his feet start to vibrate. That's what Michael does. He makes everyone want to dance.

Irony. Now the majority of today's pop music is written, produced and performed by the very black people MTV didn't want to feature. Rest well, beloved. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Michael.

@praisedancer73 because with the backslide you put your balance on the front on your foot and the moonwalk you put your balance on the point of your foot not sliding, Anyone can learn the backslide, but to perform the moonwalk smooth and fast is very hard.
