Michael Jackson is king and this is very good evidence of that fact. It's cool because it's got the long versions of Bad, The Way You Make Me Feel and Black and White. But the coup de gras is certainly the follow-up to this; HiStory Vol. 2, as it has all the videos from the HiStory sessions (ie. Earth Song, They Don't Care About Us, Stranger In Moscow, Childhood, You Are Not Alone) as well as the Blood on the Dance Floor video. You can't lose with either of these DVDs though. He's an amazing talent.

I ordered this DVD for my 4 year old nephew who is a huge "MJ" fan!!!! The DVD is great and contains all his hits and extended versions of I'm Bad and Thriller.

This is an awasome collection of Michael's videos, each one is so gratefully done, contains: Thriller, Black and White, Billy Jean etc. every song confirms the talent of the king of pop.

HIStory: Video Greatest Hits is a fantastic DVD including many of Michael Jackson's greatest music videos. This is a perfect collection for die-hard fans and casual listeners alike. Each clip is consistently high quality. The DVD contains all three classic videos from "Thriller," including the phenomenal 14-minute short film for the title track. Among other excellent cuts are the long versions of "Bad" and "The Way You Make Me Feel," and the celebrity-loaded Egyptian fantasy of "Remember the Time." Brimming with extraordinary dancing, this DVD is a visual extravaganza that should earn the respect of any viewer. This is why he's called "The King of Pop."

Unlike some reviewers, I think the overall sound and image quality here is excellent - DVD quality at its best. Remember, some of these videos are almost 30 years old. Fans will not be disappointed.

I really enjoyed the video, but it took 20 days to get to me, from one state away. The shipping was very disappointing.

My daughter received this for a graduation gift, her request and now watches it EVERYDAY; Thanks for the prompt delivery and quality product.

This was a great video, the songs,the dancing, brought back so many great memories. Even my Grand daughters loved it. Thanks for the memories.

This has all of the old, really good songs that Michael did videos for. No one can go through the 20th Century without being influenced by "Thriller", "Beat It", "Billie Jean", "Remember the Time".... The video even caught the attention of my husband who is not "into" MJ and was supposed to be doing something "important". Children, teenagers, young adults and not-so-young adults all love the early songs of the King of Pop. The video is very entertaining and fun.

This DVD sure brings me back to my High School Days. I loved watching all the old plus the newer stuff from Micheal Jackson. I love every single short movie especially the Thriller one. Worth every penny. Great for Collection.

I loved the long versions of "Bad" and "The Way You Make Me Feel". I had forgotten why Michael Jackson was called the KING OF POP! He was ahead of his time in style, with his video shorts, and his stories. His underlining stories all deal with the human condition in some way--"The Way You Make Me FeeL" deals with the importance of being yourself when it comes to love and "Bad" deals with being good over being bad.

One sees his style copied by so many of the entertainers from all over the world again and again. He's the KING OF POP and to date no one has surpassed him. Many have tried but none with the impact he has made on the world.

I was very please with the DVD it was exactly what I wanted. Thank you so much.

This video brought back the good old days,the music,the dancing,it has everthing.I bought it not just for the entertainment,also so I can mimic Michaels moves.

This is fabulous!!! The best part is that this DVD includes the full-length versions of videos I remember from MTV and VH1 from 20 years ago. The full production numbers are amazing! What a contrast from the teeny versions! I'm so glad I found these on your website!

can't really say too much, michael's incredible, incomparable talent says it all. im proud of him still, and he proves that he is bad despite his weaknessness and downfalls (we all have them) It doesn't take away from his genius, he's number one!!! and ya'll know it!!!
remember the time someone rocked with you, and gave you a thriller, but that PYT billie jean was not your lover, so you told her to beat it and you just wanted her to leave you alone? it didn't matter if she was black or white, you didn't stop till you got enough. bad is the way you make me feel, so let's pray and try to heal the world and make it a better place.

It's the only way to view the long, mini movies before Bad and The Way You Make Me Feel.

come on you gotta love the man. i'm a huge fan so through trial and error he is still a legend to me. this tape has all of his videos on it. now my niece and i can watch it any time we want

Personality and reputation aside, Michael Jackson is one of the best performers around. This DVD is a compilation of music videos from his earliest to more recent. Its amazing to watch, and amazing to see the physical changes in Jackson. He goes from a nice looking young black man to an almost 'freakish' looking white man. Great music, great dancing!

That's why I bought this DVD, I thought Jackson's Thriller album was brilliant. I remember the first time I saw the video, I was captivated. I think Jackson was at his best. The sound quality was better than I had expected. The first two videos on my copy were fuzzy here and there, but the rest were great. Brought back many memories.

This DVD has my favorite MJ songs on it. I think it's a good buy if you are a Mike fan. It's got the full versions of all the videos that are on this DVD, and if you haven't seen the full versions of your favorite MJ videos, you better get ready! Who ever knew that BAD and The Way You Make Me Feel were short movies! Also, if you are going to watch this with your kids, you may want to skip over the end of Black or White when Mike expresses himself quite openly. Overall, it's a good production, and I especially like the feature where you can see all the lyrics. Who ever knew what Mike was saying before this?

This dvd is awesome. It covers Michaels disco years through the 1990s. "Beat it" and "Billie Jean" are timeless videos and show you Michael Jackson at his creative zenith. This dvd also includes the full length videos of "Bad" and "Thriller" Lets not forget "Remember the time" with its amazing dance moves and catchy rythem. This dvd compilation makes you see why Michael Jackson will always be the king of pop. I like this dvd out of all of Michael Jacksons dvd releases. "Dont stop till you get enough" and "Rock with you" may be simple videos but I watch both videos and see an innocence in Michael before the Thriller phenomenon. This is the best of Michael Jackson. Sony dvd has done an incredible job on the sound quality of this Michael Jackson dvd. The sound quality on a regular television or theatre system will amaze you.

This is a DVD of Michael's most played videos without any frills---no commentary, deleted scenes, etc. If you just want to jump on your bed and sing-a-long or moonwalk in your undies to "Thriller", this DVD is for you. You can put on the closed captions and play karaoke.

The king of pop, Michael Jackson has made many exciting songs that make you enthusiastic. He has also made awsome dance moves. Michael Jackson's songs and videos are really addictive! This video contains the great videos. Very exciting!!

I absolutely enjoyed this dvd. I couldn't keep still, it took me back to when I was a teenager listening to these songs and seeing the videos. Only problem is, I wished it was longer (but it only for my own selfish reasons, haha). It's length is perfect but I could listen and watch for hours. Michael is a true entertainer and those who appreciate true talent will appreciate him as a artist.

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.

Don't just listen to the album,watch the videos! However there are fewer songs in this package than the audio counterpart. We see videos for hits from OFF THE WALL,THRILLER,BAD,DANGEROUS and of course,the audio counterpart of HISTORY. No fan of the King Of Pop should be without this unless he/she chooses not to.

Honestly, I love Michael Jackson's music and have purchased History 2 on VHS (the gold box) and Dangerous: The Short Films before I got this. I was excited because I thought I would see some things different on this DVD, but it's all the same! You're better off purchasing Dangerous: The Short Films or History 2 because most of the same material on this video is on the others, and the others have some new added footage.

Foryears michaeljackson hasrockedour world from abc to rock withyou jackson has made pop hirstoy and the viedos that made himfameuos are now on dvd frautes the viedos for billejean theway youmake me feel black orwhtie rock with you bad thllerbeatit rember thetime dont stop tillyou getehuogh andthe90shealthe wolrd. my fartivoe viedo is the thller video itsa shrot film with amazing muisc staring mihchael jackson theres also bad the 18minute nverbefore seenshrotfilm . this dvdis a collbte any mihchaeljacksonfan will love this dvd.

All of these songs have made a stamp on the music of our generation and will forever remain timeless classics, and that goes for the music AND the music videos. Michael is the king of pop, rock, soul, music videos, dance, voice, everything! GO MICHAEL!!!!!!!

im a huge michael jasckson fan weather this DVD is good or not i still love it!! it is a great collection adder and the whole family will love it especilly if they grew up watching him in the 80's it shows the greatest music vidoes he ever made i love this DVD and you will to if you love michael jackson in his high point of his career in the 80's GO MICHAEL!! WHOOOO

You'll like him once you get your hands on this plethora of Michael Jackson's greatest and most well-known short films of the 80's and 90's, simply titled "Video Greatest Hits: HIStory". Michael Jackson, with his outstanding efforts in music and entertainment, stands tall as one of the pioneers of music and music videos, and this immaculate collection of short films proves just that.

This DVD (or VHS, whichever you may have) features 10 of Michael's top short films, all in their full-length, uncut entirety!!!

The lineup of short films include:

1. Brace Yourself (A Kaleidoscope of Michael Jackson HIStory) : Although it is not a short film, it does give you a taste of Michael Jackson's impact on the world of music, the fans, and the world, and puts out a simple message: Brace Yourself.

2. Billie Jean - The popular video that single-handedly broke the barrier between not only man and music, but also the color barrier on MTV, as he became the first black musical artist to have a video shown on MTV.

3. The Way You Make Me Feel - A great video all by itself, this video, which lasts nearly 9 1/2 minutes, features Michael at a high point in his career, with his innovative dance moves and impeccable standards for music!

4. Black Or White - This video, aired in 1991 on many broadcast stations around the nation, started the beginning of Michael's music onslaught of the 90's...and a lot of controversy as well. This video, featuring dance moves galore and a kaleidoscope of nations around the world, also featured a scene at the end, most commonly called "the panther scene", as it features a panther who morphs into Michael Jackson and then dances in the street, ravaging a car with gang and racist graffiti sprayed on the windows, and sexy yet somewhat disturbing gyrations with his crotch. This scene sparked outrage, but no matter what, this is one of his best short films.

5. Rock With You - A video made in 1979 features Michael Jackson dancing in a sparkling jumpsuit, singing. It doesn't seem like much, but the countless lights and other special effects you will see definitely make it worthwhile

6. Bad - Directed by world-renown director Martin Scorsese, This full 18 minute long version follows a high school kid (played by Michael) who goes to a private school. When school lets out he then goes home to visit his friends, who get the feeling that he has changed, and he's not "bad" anymore. Michael proves that he is, though, by showing off many mezmorizing dance moves. The choreography in this short film is just too good for anybody but Michael to perform. This video is probably one of his greatest.

7. Thriller - This short film showed that one man can indeed change the way people look at the connection between music and film. Michael does a fantastic job in this video, with the sometimes-crazy choreography and such. A must-see for any person, MJ fan or not. Directed by John Landis.

8. Beat It - Michael does it again with this music video, as it follows two gangs and their vendettas between each other. Again, the choreography is to die for, and the layout is just spectacular!

9. Remember The Time - Michael will blow you away in this short film featuring Michael, comedian/actor Eddie Murphy, supermodel Iman, and basketball legend Magic Johnson. Set in Egypt, Michael dazzles even the faithless soul with dance moves, special effects, and anything you would wish for in a short film. Definitely one to see!

10. Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough - Michael Jackson's first major music video features special effects and pretty good dancing. Good for its time, but unfortunately does not stand the test of time as well as people hoped. A good video though.

11. Heal The World - Not a short film, but rather a look into the heartache of sick and dying children around the world. Michael, in this video, hopes to touch your heart with this video and hopes that you can do what you can to "Heal The World".

In closing, Michael Jackson proves to be the single greatest musical icon that the world has ever seen, and not a single person can make the same impact that Michael has made in music!

This DVD collection is a must have for lovers of M.J. and great music. You get M.J.'s newest sound as well as the 80's and 70's hits that made him the icon he is today. The video collection is entertaining but leaves a lot to be desired for true M.J. fans.

First of all the quality of the older videos ( Bad, The Way You Make Me Feel, Beat It and Billie Jean ) were pitiful. It was as if the videos were taken straight from an unclear cable channel. This was definitely not what I expected to find in a DVD. The entire first half of Bad is unclear and the film seems worn and old. Thriller has as much static as a low rated cable network. The people who made this collection should have been a shamed trying to shove off such terrible copies of these videos to the public. The upside was that the newer videos were very clear and vibrant with color. Remember the Time is the most beautiful-looking video in the entire collection. Along with the lyrics, the color of the video makes the song come alive.

I loved being able to get these fabulous videos on DVD but I expected a lot more.

1) This DVD would have been outstanding if it featured behind the scenes looks of how the videos were filmed and interviews with dancers, and looks at how the dances for the videos were handled.

2) Commentary from Michael himself or the directors of the videos would have also enhanced this.

3) More videos- I'm sorry but some of Michael's best like ( Leave Me Alone, In the Closet, Jam, Speed Demon, Off The Wall and Man In The Mirror ) were completely ignored and forgotten. The fans deserve to see more videos included in the collection M.J. calls History.

These things along with better quality would have made this DVD a masterpiece. I pray that the next DVD release of Michael's videos truly stands out. This was a good release if you just want to watch videos, but the cheap quality of his most loved video releases diminished Michael's important presence as a world known icon and music legend.

Ok, this is great this DVd contains all of his huge video hits and all of them uncut!. But one thing that is really starting to annoy me is the whole HIStory thing! god 3 CDs one Remix album and 2 DVD's! cant they call it Michael Jackson- Video Hits. and the picture without that very very irritating MJ statue!. Apart from all of this, this is one of his best releases!

This video is great. All the videos are
billie jean: Great video I had a great time watching it.
Don't stop till you get enough: A fun video to watch when MJ just starts when he is solo.
Rock with you: Great kyrics.
Beat it: Good choriography.
Thriller: Fun to do choriagraphy.
Bad: Good video and great song.
Black or white: good morphing technology good song too
Remember the time: Great video with Eddie Murphy and Magic Johnson.
Heal the world: Oh yeah this is good too.

If you are or not a Michael Jackson fan either way you will love this video

This is a great collection of MJ's videos from the 70s up until the early 90s. Sound quality was excellent including the newer videos done in 5.1 sound. Video quality for the most part was good. Some of them were grainy.

Video highlights include

Don't Stop Till You Get Enough - I had no idea this was a music video. It's amazing to see Michael as he used to look.
Rock With You - I remember seeing this in the 70s with him dancing in front of a laser beam.
Billie Jean - Of course! Another one off the Thriller album.
Beat It - ... a nose job later... The classic video from the 80s. Brought back memories of MTV and wearing out my Thriller album on my small record player. Of course, this song and video was parodied by Weird Al... but that's another DVD.
Thriller - ok... admit it, remember when Michael turned around and shouted "GO AWAY!" in that demonic voice and you jumped out of your skin? 20 years later the effects look SO cheesy and basically I "died" laughing at the goofy looking costumes that I thought were so scary as a kid.
... another nose job later...
Bad - This is another full version video. I was expecting Michael to start blowing up and instantly gaining weight.. Ooops... again, Weird Al parodied this video but you can't beat the 18 minute original.
Black Or White - er... WHITE as in Michael starts turning white but still looking good. This is yet another triumphant but controversial video. The McCauley Culkin bit in the beginning was a little bit cheesy but when the music starts, the cheese ends. This was a high-budget video with computer video editing (state of the art for 1990). This includes the scene where Michael's a panther and then he turns into himself, then grabs his crotch lots of times and bashes a car with racist sayings painted on it.
Remember The Time - This is actually my least favorite of the videos. It's still a great video with the high-tech stuff but at that point in the 90s it was just another high-tech video.
Heal The World - yeah, that's good too.

If you like MJ and like to see a few of his "long" videos, get this DVD. Of course if you want the 20 minute "Smooth Criminal" video, get Moonwalker.

This DVD is a great collection of Michael Jackson's videos that were put out from 1979 to 1992. "Thriller" is represented here by "Billie Jean", "Beat It" and the 15 minute masterpiece "Thriller." "BAD" is represented by "The Way You Make Me Feel" and "Bad." "Off The Wall" is represented by "Rock With You", and "Dangerous" is represented by "Black or White", possibly Michael's last true "hit single (1991)." Also included are the tracks "Don't Stop...", "Heal the World", and "Remember the Time." The videos "Bad (1987)", "Black or White (1991)", and "The Way you make Me Feel (1987)", are the full-length versions, which are unique to this special "DVD version" of "HIStory", released in 2001. Highlights include "Remember the Time", with Eddie Murphy, "Rock With You", "Billie Jean" and one of my personal favorites 1983's "Beat It." Be sure to pick up this, along with "HIStory Volume II", the next time you go DVD shopping. You won't be disappointed by any of these ten ground-breaking music videos.
