If you love Michael Jackson, YOU NEED TO BUY THIS DVD!
what you will find:
-news anchor Robert Abernethy interviews Michael, who was then 12, and Jackie, who was 20 at the time.
-Michael being interviewed by Oprah at Neverland and Michael calling into her show when Quincey Jones was a
guest
-interviews by Barbara Walters, Sylvia Chase, Diane Sawyer, and an Australian reporter
-an interview with Access Hollywood when Michael was working on music in Ireland
-footage taken from an interview with his parents at their Encino home
-interview with a Japanese reporter where MJ had a case of the giggles (one of my favorites, he was so adorable)
-and yes, footage of MJ with his llama (the one w/MJ wearing a red sweater in his early 20′s.)
This came as part of the Michael Jackson Mega Box set and between the two interview dvds, this one is definitely
my favorite. I loved seeing MJ through various stages of his life. From a cute little boy to the beautiful man we all admire and love,all on this dvd. There will never be another Michael!

Hello,
I bought this DVD as a part of the Michael Jackson: Mega Box along with Michael Jackson: The Interviews, Vol. 2, Michael Jackson: Fan’s Camera Footage and Michael Jackson: Press Conferences and Store Signings.
I thought I’d give some brief information on the DVD. The back of the case says:
“Michael Jackson the Interviews Vol 1 presents a 2 hour DVD programme showing various in depth interviews which reveal an honest and frank insight into why Michael became the world’s biggest superstar. Presented together for the very first time is this essential collection which also includes – The King of Pop, a 32 page book. This newly written book is a tribute biography and discography which includes a special tribute section on the Staples Center memorial in Los Angeles.
We have also transcripted a very recent seance where Michael is asked questions that were responded to using a Ouija board, a fascinating connection that will bring peace of mind to many of Michael’s fans.”
I really enjoyed this DVD, it had a good number of interviews with Michael himself from different stages of his life. It made me feel like I knew him a bit better afterwards and I was surprised to find some stuff that I did not know.

First of all, can I echo the sentiments of all the recent posts on here in saying that this really is a great DVD. I’m not going to do a review as such though as everyone else has already done a better job of it than I possibly ever could.
I’m actually here to have a moan. I’m really annoyed by these people who have posted reviews without having actually seen the content, giving only ONE STAR often simply because they just don’t like Michael! I know that early on some people were unaware of what was actually on the DVD but now that that has been made clear I really wish that they’d edit their posts and be a bit more objective. Otherwise we end up with the case where a FIVE STAR release only has THREE STARs simply due to Amazon screwing up the listing and we have inferior releases with better scores. The whole point of these reviews is to help people like me decide what to spend our hard earned money on. I nearly didn’t buy this as when I first looked it mainly had negative reviews. Of course, if I’d listened to those I’d have majorly missed out.
I’m going to post this in the hope that some of those people might read this and decide to put things right! I’m also going to post it on the pages for the other DVDs, such as this one, that come in the Michael Jackson Mega Box!!! I might even start putting comments onto their reviews!

I have made the mistake in the past of blindly pre-ordering a couple of Michael Jackson videos without there being any customer reviews and was very disappointed by the merchandise in question.
They were both horrible with generic music playing in the background, and they were both almost copycat videos of each other. What a big waste of money.
It seems like people are coming out of the woodwork to capitalize on his death, and his devoted fans are looking to buy anything just to hold onto him a little while longer because we are all still in mourning over him.
I won’t make that mistake again. I want to remember him and his words, not the things other people said about him, and though I am very curious to know what these interview videos are all about, I will also wait until people post some reviews before I waste more money on garbage.
By the way, the videos that ended up being a total waste of money were Michael Jackson “Never Surrender” and “A Remarkable Life.” Don’t throw your money away. They were both very cheap and poorly done.

i purchased this dvd included in my mega-box set which came not too long ago – this was really fun for me to watch.
there is an interview with michael and jackie which it starts out with, then mj talks about his dreams coming true, there is a scene where he introduces his llama (louie), some footage of seeing princess diana, an interview at the end where michael has a case of the giggles (which is very cute), an interview with lisa marie and michael together and my personal favorite is the interview with oprah. this was conducted at neverland and he even does some dance moves for oprah! there are a couple more interviews in here as well which were phenominal to see.
i am glad i purchased this dvd within the maga-box set instead of just by itself since it worked out a lot better financially do it that way.

Today I went to f.y.e (For Your Entertainment) and saw this DVD, along with volume 2, siting on the shelf calling my name. I was skeptical at first after reading one star reviews, bought I picked it up anyway. I DO NOT REGRET IT! It has many interviews from the time of the early Jackson 5 to his collaboration with will.i.am! The interviews are in very good quality for being so old! It also comes with a 32 page book with 2 unique postcards. When it says it has no music by the artist…it kinda lied. While durring one or two different interviews his music is quietly played, and he makes comments on them. I recomend it to any Michael Jackson fan.
It has his Barbra Walters Interview, two Oprah interviews, an interview at his home durring the Thriller era, and so many more. Buy it! Like me, you wont regret it!

The first part was wonderful a MJ from the Thriller time and just talking to a camera. A never seen before interview. Iloved to see that he stated his goals and his dreams and he accompolished them all.
Then you see interview with Operah and the second volume you see interview with someone that Lisa Marie was there too… nice footage.. loved it, a must have for any fan

Definitely 5 stars and a must for a Michael Jackson fan, especially now that he is no longer with us. Worth the price just for the big interviews with Oprah and Diane Sawyer. Even though some of the earlier ones are not as good quality, the true fan will still appreciate having these keepsakes of a performer that truly was one of the greatest. If you are not that big of a Michael Jackson fan, you may not want to invest in this. How much you like it may depend on how much you would like to own anything you can on what Michael left behind. Many of the interviews I had never seen and am glad I own them now.

BUY IT!
If you are a true Michael Jackson fan you will love this DVD. It is interviews with Michael Jackson himself from the age of 10, with Barbara Walters, Oprah (amazing interview), Diane Sawyer with Lisa Marie Presley by his side, etc.
There is one “interview” with Michael with LaToya in the early 80′s where you get to see Michael is a typical brother. LaToya doesn’t understand one of the questions asked of her and MJ rolls his eyes and says in a Groucho Marx voice “I have an idiot for a sister.” Hysterical. I laughed out loud and had to replay it a few times because it was so great.
This DVD gives a true picture of who Michael Jackson is as a person. Nice.
Enjoy!!!

Re: L.P. Quagmire’s horrid comments….the ’93 charges brought by Evan Chandler were extortion – he wanted Michael to “fund” his screenwriting career to the tune of $5 million a year for 4 years. When that didn’t work he tried other ways. Michael had agreed on $350,000 but Chandler wasn’t satisfied with that. That’s when he decided to go after Michael for these bogus charges. Remember, he went to an unreputable attorney rather that the police! What parent would do that? He promised to ruin Michael. It went only to a civil court and 95% of these are settled out of court. Years later Jordie went to Michael, apologized and said he was forced to say things by his father. The 2003 charges were brought by a welfare mother who willingly spent Michael’s money while at Neverland, let the kids trash the house and disrespect everyone who worked for Michael. This woman had sued JC Penny and got approx $156,000 from them, charging physical abuse by the security guards after being caught shoplifting. To make a long story short, Michael was exonerated. Think about this for a minute. How many 1,000′s of children did Michael help and have at Neverland? Only 2 came forward at the urging of their parents? Use your head Quagmire (great name for you)Give Michael the respect he so richly deserves and let him rest in peace.
I plan to order everything Michael Jackson, including these DVD’s The Interviews. I know enough about them to know they are going to be good.

This video is great in delving deeper into the person Michael Jackson was, getting beyond all the media hype. I found it very enjoyable.
