    Love Spike a little less than I love Mike so I love this plus it didn’t make me cry. This is a great final Michael song and a lovely tribute from Mr. Lee. I love the “Can you feel it” clip too and he left out “Thriller” b/c that was great but didn’t define him. I’m so blessed that I got to live during his time :)

  8. ANDRE

    this further confirms he is the best there will be. farewell brother

  9. Toriano

    What a fine piece of artistry. This video is a momento befitting MJ. Nostalgic, captivating and emotive.

  10. pressed_much?

    This is a wonderfully put together video……Still cant believe he is gone! I cried all over again after watching this just like i did when I found out about his death. @ #11 I’m grateful as well to have gotten the chance to live during such a musical genius as well. Hopefully future generation will be able to capture the message MJ tried to give us through his music before its too late for us. RIP gone but never forgotten MJ!

    How long are they gonna milk this shyt?

  14. Kyla

    Why are people complaining?

    The song was released a few months ago.
    Like any released song – a video also comes along.
    It’s not like Spike Lee dug up any old Michael tune and decided to make a video for it.

  15. JUDAH

    Spike Lee would’ve been better off making a documentary about how Michael Jackson and his siblings were sexually and physically abused from 5 years old in order to craft them for superstardom in the entertainment industry. This just looks like another silly attempt to deify a man who did not even know who he was half the time, much less his “fans” knowing him. Very sad and pathetic that black people have the time to make sequin gloves and pop lock in unison after this man was assassinated but they have a hard time doing anything in unison for relevant subjects.

    Its a great tribute to the alltime greatest entertainer…this wonderful man touch so many…it sad that people didn’t get that while he was here…to busy judging and ridiculing this beautiful man ….he deserves this and so so much i will be paying tribute to michael til i leave this earth….love you more michael…you were too much for this world

  17. POSITIVE CHICK

  21. Neena

    That was so nice.. made me cry all over again.. He will truly be missed and was loved by me.. He’s at peace now and that’s what matters

  22. Neena

    #8.. I definitely agree!! That annoying interstital ad gets on my nerves.. I’m getting the software from work so I can avoid that. CL, y’all need to do better with stuff like that. I’m a IT geek and stuff like that is harmful to user’s computers..

    * This video brought water to my eyes, this was beautifully made. Michael Jackson will never been forgotten. ♥

  24. 2damnfunny

    Loved this video…love the sinces from Gary,IN where it all started.

    Seeing that glove and hat in the spot light made me cry.

    Still missing you Mike.

    And for those that have nothing nice to say, don’t say nothing at all.

    Many people cared about this man that died and leaving nasty comments is damn well disrepectful.

    You don’t have to agree but shitting on the way folks feel is wrong.

    One day something will touch you without any explanation and you will understand why folks feel they way they do.

    Divine!

    RIP MJ..

    MJ had a enormous mega impact on the world of music and a true definition of an icon. When he was alive, you know how many people would go to his concerts and would never get a chance to see the whole show, because they would pass out just by him walking on stage or singing one song. This man was The King , his impact will be felt for generations. White people can obsessed over Elvis Presley and The Beatles, why shouldn’t people still mourn and talk about this black man who changed entertainment and the world. There is not one place on this planet that doesn’t know who MJ was. We have to let this black man legacy live on just like white people never let us forget about Elvis Presley.

  32. tina

    That’s the best that the Brilliant Spike Lee could do?

  33. darklove

    EPIC!!! nothing short of what a king deserves

  34. Kryssie

    A beautiful tribute. I’m surprised it didn’t make me cry. I guess because I know he is in a better place than where he has been in previous years.
    R.I.P Mike!

  35. jasmine_rae

    the hat and glove at the end hurt a little .

  36. RedbonegotthatKillBill

    Tears all over again. Damn I miss him…we did him so wrong while he was here…

  37. Estelle

    LOVE the video!! I miss him SO much. MJ haters please do not leave comments.

  38. In Love With Letoya Luckett

    Is he really dead? R U sure?

  39. destiny

    I love it. I am sure Spike Lee had a hard time chosing what to put in the video, but it came out good. I can’t wait to buy the movie. I saw it in theaters and it was good. It showed that he gave his all and kept true to his ideas no matter what others tried to persuade him to do. You will always be missed by me Mike!!

  40. catdaddy

    this is for the mayor and the people of gary ind. i came to the memorial concert / send-off that you gave for MJ in gary ind. and stopped by 2300 jackson street and what blew me away was in the backyard of the house you could still see them “cinder blocks” aka bricks that papa joe made them boys of his stack and re stack for punishment and also to make them strong men. as i was standing there taking pictures of the home. a white man came up to me and was talking about MJ and the journey him and his wife made to see a part of history. he also told me how the travel agent from where he lived, [st.louis] tried to discourage him and the mrs. from going into gary ind saying it was not safe….. and the jackson home is just right off of I-80 east….. my point being is, when you are traveling to memphis tn. you see ‘huge” billboards of elvis and signs pointing to graceland.. along the interstate as you travel in memphis… it draws people like flies….. now don’t you folks in gary ind. think its time to get up them same “huge” billboards for the king of pop / the greatest entertainer in the world signs along the hwy’s as you approach MJ’s childhood home with the same respect that afforded to the musical great.. as the tourist spot 2300 jackson st. thats a must see,,,,,,, thank – you

  41. SassyT

    I saw This is It 3x’s and can’t get enough, so when the video for said movie came out, I couldn’t wait to check it out. I am not disappointed! I love the song and the video! Michael was a master – no, genius – and there will never, ever be another. I grew up listening to him and his brothers and still can’t believe he is gone.

    Michael, I love you and always will!

  42. SassyT

    Excellent point,. Catdaddy! Hopefully the mayor of Gary will take heed to your request.

  43. CollegeStartersdotcom

    I love it!

  44. Shellboogie

    I absolutely LOVE this song. I can’t get enough of it, the video was really good.

    Thank you Spike what a touching tribute to the greatest entertainer in the history of man kind !!!!!

    Life is too short, please enjoy everyday to the fullest!!! The King of Pop will forever live in my heart.

    **Sigh**

    Still don’t even know how to feel. Still angry at how the world can so bitterly destroy someone who gave us all so much, but at least, can always smile for a second when seeing clips from his life.

  46. Olusheyi Banjo

    I’m a Michael Jackson fan wholeheartedly, but I’m not feeling this video. It doesn’t quite capture Michael at all. not sure what this is. Remember, there are thousands of wonderful Tribute videos and Spike Lee will have to do better than this. My favorite tribute video on youtube is “Cheater”, by “DJoxygen08″ It shows Michael in all his glory. I do love the video “They Don’t Really Care about us” directed by Spike Lee.

    Long Live the King of Pop!
