Michael Jackson talks 'Bad,' price of fame in unreleased 1987 interview: Watch it here

Thank you so much for posting this interview. I never saw it before….it is so wonderful! What a dear, sweet, humble and gentle soul. Such a terrible shame he wasn’t allowed to continue to share and shine his light to the world without the media making a mockery of him. Miss you so much Michael.

He was so handsome and it is so sad what happened at the end of his life. Thanks for posting this video.

Many of us fans didn’t know or get to know the real Michael Jackson. But by becoming his fans, we’ve listened to his music, I mean really listened to the lyrics and picturing what he was singing about.

He was and is the most treasurable artist that we’ve ever had. He’s a good humanitarian. He never judged anyone for anything that they have ever done, he loved them anyway. He never pointed a finger at anyone blaming them for all the bad things happening in the world.

He tried to fix the world and make it better for not himself, but for all of us.

Even tho the media is saying alot of bad things about Michael and if he’s the father of Prince, Paris and Blanket, he loved them as any of us decent people would love their kids. They are so respectful, polite and charming.

I never see anything bad about Michael. In a world filled with thunder and turmoil, he was kind of like my savior. He wrote a lot of beautiful songs that hit home for me. And besides all that, he was fine ass hell!

I loved Michael Jackson as if he was related to me, he will forever be missed but will always be in my heart. May God Bless him and his 3 beautiful children. R.I.P.-my brother, we will meet again one day and I will wrap my arms around you and tell you how I’m glad you were sent to earth to teach us a lot about love, life, and ourselves.

What a sweet person. It’s just heartbreaking to see now that we know where his life was headed. I think he was too good for this world – too vulnerable, and it broke him. Horribly sad.

I have watched that interview 3 times he is so sweet he could have never done any thing bad to a child never , i think every one that worked in his home had something to do with his death out of greed they took advantage of his addiction to steal from him drugging him to where he stayed asleep for days at a time while they did what ever they wanted in his home & and his bank account, no one that worked in home cared about him getting better because if he did they would not be able to do what they where doing stealing and even getting kids to lie about him, he probably woke up after being drugged for days and every body started telling him he molested a kid i am sure he had no idea what and why that was being said about him , even the nanny had a million in her bank account he did not give that to her , he had cutes and bruises on his legs and back they say from falling and he was skinny cause he did not eat but 1 time a day and thats if he was awake those people that worked in his home did nothing to help they even would stop his family from going in his home (why) because they would see the condition he was in and that would mean there nice way of living would end they would not be able to take any more money and most likely his personal belongings like the 2 million dollars worth of jewelry that is missing , how dare them money hungry pigs let him die for there greed. and for his family if they really wanted in that house to check on him they would have got in i know i would have one way or another , and that stupid doctor what kind of doctor takes 30 min to call for help he needs to fry in the chair get overdose in his nasty arms to kill him, it took 30 min to clean up the mess he used to michael and steal what he could then he went to inform the rest of the greedy pigs they better get what they can cause he was getting ready to be burdened and call 911 cause michael is dead , i hate that doctor with every bone in my body and any employee that worked there , wonder what there doing now michael is not hear any more to steal from i hope they starve to death and then go strait to hell where they belong .

It’s too bad he just accepted the lack of freedom as coming with the work. His “fans” should be ashamed.

What I truly like about Michael Jackson here is that not only was he in his prime, but he still bore resemblance to earlier images of himself when he was more brown. I agree with several others that he was really fine during the Bad era. However, the most significant observation was Michael seemed to be truly sincere and and poignant in his responses to the questions. I believe he was really a good person. God, I love that smile. He melts my heart everytime he smiles.
