    Michael Jackson is a genius. He loved to entertain. He mixed music and film and magic together. He didn't see his music videos as just videos to go with his music, but rather short movies that tell a story - as you have seen with 'Thriller'. Now 'Ghosts' tells the story of a man ...( read more)who lives in a haunted house whom the townsman want to run out of town.

    As a life long fan of Michael Jackson, you could argue that I am bias. But one of the reasons why Jacko's career is so amazing, is his music videos. No artist in history has created as many fantasical music videos as he. Billie Jean, Thriller, Smooth Criminal, Leave Me Alone, Bla...( read more)ck or White, Remember the Time.... This list goes on, Jacko is a quality entertainer!

    The dancing is spectacular, The soundtrack is awesome, the melodies and rifts are vintage Jackson and the special fx are superb.

    Sure, it could be seen as Thriller of the 90's, but who else could produce such a thing? Madonna? not a chance! anyone? not even close!

    What suprises me the most is its limited release and promotion. If the music was publisised more and the short film was given its deserved air-time, then people would have to stand back and watch in ore of a true genius at work.

    10/10, As music videos go, Ghost is spectacular and only the true King of Pop could produce such a masterpiece!

    THIS I

    Once there was a child and he was free
    Deep inside, he felt the laughter
    The mirth and play of nature's glee
    Beauty, love was all he'd see

    He knew his power was the power of God
    He was so sure, they considered him odd
    This power of innocence, of compassion, of light
    Threatened the priests and created a fight
    In endless ways they sought to dismantle
    This mysteroius force which they could not handle

    In endless ways they tried to destroy
    His simple trust, his boundless joy
    His invincible armor was a shield of bliss
    Nothing could touch it, no venom, no hiss

    The child remained in a state of grace
    He wasn't confined in time or place
    In Technicolor dreams, he frolicked and played
    While acting his part, in Eternity he stayed

    Soothsayers came and fortunes were told
    Some were vehement, others were bold
    In denouncing this child, this perplexing creature
    With the rest of the world he shared no feature
    IS he real?He is so strange
    His u
