    Michael Jackson’s Best ET Moments: LOST FOOTAGE Behind the Scenes of His Solo Career

    Michael Jackson takes ET behind the scenes of his groundbreaking solo career, starting with the visual for ‘Beat It’ in 1983, which set a new cinematic standard for music videos. ET’s cameras were also with Michael in Japan, Europe and Australia as he traveled the globe on his record-breaking ‘Bad’ world tour in the late ’80s. His beloved chimp, Bubbles, was along for the ride. So was his backup singer, Sheryl Crow, in one of her first major gigs. In 1992, ET was with Michael Jackson when he taught Michael Jordan how to moonwalk. In 1995, our cameras were there when Michael teamed up with his sister, Janet, for ‘Scream,’ which was their first and only duet. Michael joined forces with Spike Lee in 1996 to create two powerful music videos for his protest anthem ‘They Don’t Care About Us,’ which charted again 30 years later.

      I grew up watching MJ at his peak in real time (Thriller and Bad eras). Thriller was his more magical era while Bad was him at the pinnacle of his powers. It was hard watching him fall from grace from the 90s to the 2000s, but I've since found balance in how I now view his legacy. He's still magical and a once-in-a-lifetime talent, but I also accept the uncertainty surrounding the complicated legacy he left.

      I grew up in the 80s-90s and MJ's songs have always been part of it, one way or another. Despite decades of the Press' microscopic attention on him, I still find the movie interesting becuz it gives an insight that I didn't know abt MJ.

      ’80s kid here. I was 11 when Thriller was released. Everything was Michael mania. No matter where you went, you either heard Michael, saw Michael, or both. He was a god back then. A massive part of my childhood. I was the biggest MJ fan, and to prove that, I even named my firstborn Michael Joseph.

      I remember at the mall, the entire upstairs of the Sears department store was MJ everything. They even had The Making of Thriller playing on loop. Thriller and Beat It jackets were $450.

      When Bad was released, my big bro and I went to both of his concerts here in Indiana, Friday and Saturday. It was the most magical experience of my life. And I actually remember videotaping all these Entertainment Tonight episodes on VHS. I watched them over and over again. I feel so sorry for anyone who was not alive back then to experience MJ magic. There will never be another Michael. LONG LIVE MICHAEL JACKSON🥰

      The biggest to ever do it and will ever! He was such an amazing artist but also a kind soul that did so much!!!! We didn't deserve him! And I really wish he would have grown old safely and enjoying privacy at some point 🙁

      Almost 17 years since he passed away, 25 years since his last recorded album and my man is STILL THAT FAMOUS. The biggest star ever.

      I'm going to be real with you the film missed out on one big thing, they did not capture how famous he was.b they kind of glossed over things that he pioneered as ordinary, and they never had any montages of him being mobbed in different countries or being number one worldwide etc and it didn't capture the same energy and chaoticness when he was as this live footage

      Us 80s kids saw all of this on TV if you were lucky enough to have a vcr and to remember to press record you should still have it in your basement somewhere

      As large, successful and incredible his career was, he also lived a rough, difficult and in some cases emotional life. Wish he was still here with us ❤
