I've seen this over many times and have some observations to share...First the interview guy is very good, although he carefully tries to trigger Michael's responses with questions that integrate Michael's songs... things that mention say "... don't you want to be left alone..." which reminds me of "Leave Me Alone", very clever.Michael's answers are so positive throughout. Especially when the interviewer asks about if Mike has felt he's lost out on experiences as a child and MJ's reply is "yes, but I've also gained alot.". That always strikes me as so honest and so positive. He answered from the gut, nothing scripted or prepared before.His answer about his song Man In The Mirror was also very good. He went into all that stuff about changing yourself before changing others or really, change starts with you. Very deep stuff.Which leads me to my last observation, that I think MJ's interest in human anatomy ie - The Elephant Man, world relations, social issues whether starving children in Africa or urban thuggery in the USA's inner city, has to do with Michael wanting more out of his life.Its like he had a desire for knowledge, for furthering his knowledge, even say, education, but he couldn't do it because he was a "pop" star. He couldn't go to college. Here, in this '88 interview, he's at that age where you start to desire more than what you have, like he's looking for meaning and purpose, thats what his humanitarian and even interest in animals and what others perceive as oddities is about.Its a slight lesson on how sometimes the media distorts some one's motivations, or interests and twists them up and in doing so, destroys positive perceptions. I always say about real great musicians, that the truth is in their music.I think you can say this about many other legends.I hope HULU never takes this down, thanks for sharing it with us!

MJ was a kind and gentle soul, who only wanted to be accepted for who is was. He only wanted peace and harmony in his life and now he shall everything in heaven, that he didn't have here on earth.The music industry will never be the same, nobody can take his place, copy or top him.

Michael Jackson was a wonderful person who brought so much joy and magic into my life along with many others. I liked this interview because it asked him thought provoking questions, whereas most interviews that we have seen of him are about the scandals that happened throughout his career.
Michael will be missed but he will always be in my heart...and on my radio!

Michael is pure gorgeousness inside and out. I did notice he sniffed his nose a few times and I was wondering if he was doing coke at this time...just sayin'...I miss him so much, more than I ever thought...I am 54, so I had him in my life many years...the loss cuts so deeply and I cry for him every day...thank you for 40 some years of entertainment, you were the absolute best and you are so missed.

This interview really gives you an inside look at him. I just can't stop looking at him and trying to understand and cope with the fact that he is no longer living. He will trying be missed by me and my family. I really loved this man from the very first time I heard him sing a note. It's really terrible that he had to go through so much in his life because of the type of person he is/was. It's really sad that someone as giving, gentle, sweet, nice, and genuinely nice man had to live such a lonely life with nothing but leeches and people who just wanted something from him other than his friendship. I wish I could have met him and just felt an ounce of his beautiful spirit. HE WILL TRULEY BE MISSED AND WILL ALWAYS REMAIN IN MY HEART.I LOVE YOU MICHAEL JOE JACKSON....MAY YOU REST IN PEACE!!!
