This compilation features 10 of Michael Jackson's greatest video hits, including "Billie Jean," "The Way You Make Me Feel," "Black or White," "Rock With You" and others. 90 minutes. This DVD starts out with a montage of Michael performing at various concerts, showing off some of his performing skills. As this is going on, you get a message to "Brace Yourselves..." and Brace Yourselves is exactly what you need to do as you see the following videos...

BILLIE JEAN - One of the videos that broke the barrier on MTV, and also the video to one of Michael's biggest hits of his career. And to think...this is before the moonwalk became a big craze. :)

THE WAY YOU MAKE ME FEEL - Here, for the first time ever on DVD, you have the full nine minute mini-movie to the song. One thing that Michael is known for, besides his dancing, of course, is the way he revolutionized the music video industry by creating little mini-movies to most of his songs, and this one is no different. And, yes, of course, he gets the girl in the end.

BLACK OR WHITE - This is another one of the famous mini-movies, and, for the first time ever on DVD, you get the full mini-movie. This garnered a lot of controversy due to some of the racist remarks that Michael destroyed that were painted on windows of buildings and windshields of cars, but, looking back on it and listening to the song now, that kind of seems like the point.

ROCK WITH YOU - One of Michael's early videoes. And it seems so simple compared to some of his later videoes. But, in my honest opinion, it's also one of his best on the DVD set.

BAD - FOR the FIRST TIME on DVD, you get the full 18 minute mini-movie directed by Martin Scorsese. This shows Michael as a schoolboy early on, and it heats up when the song starts, proving to the world, and to the people he's singing to, that Michael is indeed bad, and he wants the whole world to know that he is bad.

THRILLER - Of course, what would a Michael Jackson video DVD be WITHOUT including his most famous and most popular video?? This is the video that turned me on to Michael, and it's in its entirety here. It's a horror-comedy themed video, with a special rap by Vincent Price and a pretty woman for Michael to sing to and scare. How much better does it get?

BEAT IT - Another one of the videoes that broke the color barrier on MTV, and, just like Billie Jean, one of Michael's most known and most beloved hits of his entire career. Includes Michael breaking up a gang fight by using the power of dance. This is one of his most beloved videoes, and I fully understand why.

REMEMBER THE TIME - Once again, you get the complete mini-movie, including an appearance by funny-man Eddie Murphy. The Egyptian theme is something unexpected, considering how the song is, but once you watch the video, you'll come to find that only Michael could take a song about heartbreak and make it a dance around the room song.

DON'T STOP TIL YOU GET ENOUGH - One of Michael's first videoes, and it is SO SIMPLE compared to some of the other videoes on this disc. It's just Michael dancing in front of a different screen for every shot. Sounds simpler than the other videoes on this disc, and it looks it too. But it's still not a bad video for an early video.

HEAL THE WORLD - And the perfect way to end this DVD, we get Heal The World, which is one of THOSE videoes. And by one of THOSE videoes, I mean one of those that will put a tear in your eye, regardless of if you want it there or not. If you have a heart and soul, this video is destined to make you cry, just because of the themes and the stuff that is shown in it. It's not the best video on the DVD, but it's definitely the most tear jerking video on the DVD -- before AND after the death of the King of Pop.
