RIP to the 🐐 Michael Jackson 😢💔🕊️🌹🙏🏼.

[@lipstickandguitarsolos]

I have already heard him talk about Scream, I wanna hear a story about Tabloid Junkie!

[@mechajay3358]

19:35 Gotta disagree with Jam on this. With everything Michael had to go through up until HIStory's released at the time, it was the perfect moment to have "Scream" be released as the first single.

[@MariusWM]

You are not alone was way bigger. That became as big as Man in the mirror at the time. A song everybody could sing. While Scream was a bit difficult to listen to. Very hard pop.

[@dereklewisgrayfilms2207]

Great interview and awesome questions!

[@mohamedmardini7795]

You guys should look up a song called The great forever some speculate it's another duet 😅

[@Crisu20]

👍🏼

[@Crisu20]

Nope, it had to be the first single because it was with Janet, and people wanted to see the duet mj+janet.

[@executiveassistant8367]

He did this on his wedding anniversary? Uh Oh 🤣🤣🤣

[@poopy1017]

How OLD do you have to get to ditch the "TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL" look???

[@garfieldharrison510]

It never gets to old.

[@steelstreet79]

Styles like that are timeless just like rayban wayfarers 😂
