6/10
Brace Yourself!
2 June 2015
Out of these 10, Michael Jackson, music videos that were presented in this 90-minute DVD - 3 of my very favourites were "Rock With You", "Billy Jean" and "The Way You Make Me Feel". As well, the 3-minute "Brace Yourself!" opening segment (before Jackson's videos were played), which contained an excerpt from composer Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana", certainly was something of an adrenaline-rush which helped to earn this DVD its 6-star rating from me.

The one thing that I especially liked about the "Rock With You" video (which came from Michael's first solo venture, 1979's Off The Wall) was that it was a very plain and simple presentation featuring a 21-year-old Michael on his own without all of the elaborate choreography (that borrowed so heavily from the movie "West Side Story") which seemed to dominate far too many of his later music-videos.

Yes. I'll gladly admit that I'm not much of a Michael Jackson fan. But, with that said - After watching these 10 music videos, I can definitely understand Jackson's vast appeal and popularity.

As a high-energy entertainer and pop music icon, Michael Jackson certainly had something of a special gift. And, as was clearly evident in a number of these music videos, when this dude was good, he was, indeed, nothing short of being sensational.
