This is a review of the VHS video "Michael Jackson: Video Greatest Hits HIStory" Vol. 1. Whether or not you are a fan of Michael Jackson, this is an essential video because it shows how good music videos can be. BILLIE JEAN is a striking video that broke down color barriers on MTV; THE WAY YOU MAKE ME FEEL has a loose improvisational feeling to it which makes it fun to watch; BLACK OR WHITE is modern masterpiece complete with morphing and the controversial "panther dance" sequence. In the original version of this video, Michael smashes in a car windshield that has racist grafitti on it... he is fighting back against the racism. However, in the version included on this tape, the grafitti is edited out, so we just see Michael smashing a window for no apparent reason. Even so, the video is still an amazing experience! ROCK WITH YOU takes us back to 1980 before Michael's plastic surgery; BAD and BEAT IT include some of the best choreography even seen in music videos, although the version of BAD on this tape is the short version, not the full version with Wesley Snipes. This tape also includes the videos for Thriller, Remember The Time, Don't Stop Till You Get Enough and Heal The World in their entirety. This video is a powerful mix of music, dance, and film. Even if you don't think Michael is the King of Pop, this collection proves he is the King of VIDEO!
An excellent DVD April 25, 2005

This is an excellent DVD. The sound and picture quality is brilliant and the songs and music videos are some of the best around. The King Of Pop is great!
Brace Yourself - A good intro to the DVD showing clips of Michael performing live in front of many fans. "Brace Yourself"...
Billie Jean - This is one of the best Michael Jackson videos ever released. A highlight.
The Way You Make Me Feel - This nine and a half minute version is great and also rarely seen!
Black Or White - My all-time favourite Michael video. It made me laugh at the beginning and the rest of it was brilliant!
Rock With You - Not keen on the song but I love the video!
Bad - The full-length 18-minute version is a must-have! It shows Michael as a young school boy at the beginning.
Thriller - Possibly the most popular Michael video. It needed to make this collection!
Beat It - A great video and a great song. Another highlight.
Remember The Time - I just love this video! Not only is the song good, but it includes a great egyptian-style video!
Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough - Not one of my favourites, but not bad either.
Heal The World - This song and video end the DVD nicely!
Overall, this may not be as good as History On Film: Volume 2 or Dangerous: The Short Films, but it's still worth the money.

This spectacular compilation of Michael Jackson's music videos is a must-see for all MJ fans, and anyone else who enjoys good music and dancing. This tape includes the videos:-Billie Jean -The Way You Make Me Feel -Black or White* -Rock with You -Bad (shortened version without Wesley Snipes) -Thriller (entire video with credits) -Beat It -Remember the Time -Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough -Heal The World This is a great video that shows not only the evolution of Michael Jackson's music, but also that of his appearance. Co-stars include Eddie Murphy, Iman, Magic Johnson, McAuley Culkin, Bart and Homer Simpson, and others. An exceptional video!!! *In the video Black or White, Michael appears to be furiously smashing the windows of a car for no reason. In the original, racist graffiti is painted on the windows. This was edited out in this version. Relax, Michael is not crazy. Or at least not that crazy.

This video is 10 great short films of Michael Jacksons career spanning from 1979 to 1992. The videos are Billie Jean, The WAy You Make Me Feel, Black or White, Rock With You, Bad(shortened version), Thriller(yes, the whole thing), Beat It, Remeber the Time, Dont Stop Till You Get Enough, and Heal the World. The best ones are the ones that actually have a little bit of acting in them like The Way You Make Me Feel, Black or White, Thriller, and Remeber the Time. This video is great for any Micael fan and any music fan considering it contains 7 # 1 HIts.

Easily the most signifigant home music DVD release ever, this one has got all the major hit videos for the fans. Michael Jackson (with Madonna) is the most prominant artist making music videos (he will be back, watch out!) and this DVD collection only proves that fact over and over again.What more can I say? This DVD is slammin'. Right from beginning to end. Thriller Beat It Billie Jean Bad Black Or White The Way You Make Me Feel Remember The Time Rock With You Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough and other cool videos and clips. This things got it all for the small Michael Jackson fan and for the major Michael Jackson fan. In fact, I'm so sure you'll enjoy this DVD, I'll pay you to buy it!!! :) Five out of Five
