I didn’t hold your hand
If I had a nickel for everytime
I didn’t understand
I’d be the world poorest millionaire
’cause you’re not there
And no one ever told me
What you’re willing do
If I had only reach out
I might still be touching you
You got to touch the one you love
If you want the one you love to touch you
(you’ve got, you’ve gotta to touch
You gotta touch the one who loves you)
Would get embarrased for every time
I’ve moved and make you cry
You get sentimental, and
I would never know the reason why
I hold the world sings
Making for my selfish pride
Is it really over
When I get close to you
I only want to show you
That I’m learning a thing or two
If you want the one you love
If you want the one you love to touch
You got to....

YOU SHOULD HAVE MADE HIM STOP (STOP, RED LIGHT)(MOVING VIOLATION)
SAW THEM AT THE RED LIGHT (STOP, RED LIGHT) (MOVING VIOLATION)
SHOULD HAVE MADE HIM PUT ON THE BREAKS (STOP)
1995 - Michael & Lisa Marie granted their first interview as a couple to ABC's "Primetime Live". The legendary interview, held by Diane Sawyer, was broadcast live around the world. With estimated 60 million viewers, the interview became the second-most-watched [viewership] interview of all time. The most-watched interview of all time is up to today Michael's interview with Oprah.
The questions were insensitive or perhaps, indelicate. But they were enough to transform the voices of a delightful duo into a defiant duet.
Despite troubling questions laced with "perverse curiosity" were asked them in a live interview by Diane Sawyer that could tarnish the reputation of the world's greatest recording artist, The King of Pop Michael Jackson and his wife Lisa Marie Presley-Jackson met the interviewer head on and didn't blink. It was Mrs. Presley-Jackson, who was quick to defend her husband against every negative, image-damaging question Sawyer implied that inquiring minds wanted answered.
What Michael and Lisa wanted the "Prime Time Live" viewers to know was something about their intimate side as lovers, parents and best friends. They had a good reason for wanting to tell their story to ABC-TV's estimated 60 million viewers-the largest audience in the ABC news magazine's history.
As the interview was winding down at Sony's Culver City studios, where it was broadcast, the couple emphasized that they were not only married lovers, but they were best friends.
"I just want people to know what they're dealing with... and understand that we are not jokes. The degrading comments and all that kind of stuff, it's really irritating,"
Mrs. Presley-Jackson told Sawyer as she concluded the interview. Michael's parting salvo was delivered to Sawyer's TV audience with subdued anger.
"Don't believe the garbage, all the tabloid junk. Don't read it, don't listen to it. It's garbage, it's junk. It's stupid. Enough of it."
During the "Primetime" interview, the video for "Scream" premiered. The futuristic video clip, directed by Mark Romanek, earned Michael another record and is featured in The Guinness Book Of World Records as the most expensive video of all time: US$ 7 million did it cost to make "Scream". The video clip, in which Michael again took the art of making videos to another level, is seen as groundbreaking for the future of computer animated clips!
The shooting of the video clip took place at Universal Studios [Universal City, CA, U.S.A.]. It took 9 days to complete shooting of the clip "Scream". The short film takes its viewers on an immensely emblematic journey into the 7 different, hereafter mentioned, spaceship rooms: GRAvity, HABITation, GALLery, MEDia, mEDITation, OBSERVation and reCREATion.
Four choreographer's were working on the dance routines: Travis Payne and LaVelle Smith with Michael; Tina Landon and Sean Cheesman with Janet. Michael's make-up was created by Karen Faye, Janet's make-up was created by Kevin Aucoin.

2007 – Michael Jackson is on BlackAmericaWeb.com Exclusive Series: 20 People Who Changed Black Music – Michael Jackson, the Child Star-Turned-Adult Enigma.
...When it comes to the history of black music -- or simply music, period -- very few people have achieved accolades, success and the adoration of fans throughout the world like Michael Joseph Jackson. Not only has Jackson dominated pop and R&B charts over the course of five decades, he ushered in the MTV era, helping the burgeoning network draw viewers in the 1980s with his music videos that were more feature-film than a few minutes of smoke and mirrors to sell a song. The most awarded recording artist in history, Jackson is a double inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame – as a member of the Jackson 5 and as a solo artist.Davis told BlackAmericaWeb.com.
With his albums reaching platinum status multiple times over, Jackson has truly earned the symbolic Guinness World Records title Most Successful Entertainer of All Time... Despite the controversy, Jackson remains one of the most popular musical icons of all time. He is especially beloved overseas, where throngs of fans appear whenever he is out in public. Even in the United States, Davis said, his star still shines bright, if not in mainstream circles... He is a super talent, regardless,... Sometimes you find super talented people that are very eccentric, and that’s Michael Jackson. People get wrapped up in his personal life. And at the end of the day, that’s really none of our business.
