Michael's voice is soo soothing, he should of had a career in radio his voice is so interesting.
he has the voice of an angel
Michael got Janet to ask him the questions because he knew that they wouldn't ask crazy questions if they knew that a child had to ask them
@MissieElliot09 Michael had Janet there to repeat the questions in order to protect himself from the journalist asking invasive, humiliating questions. He felt if a journalist knew a little girl was going to have to repeat these questions to her big brother, they wouldn't ask inappropriate questions.
Michael rest in peace and janet stay strong I've lost an older brother and it's not easy... My prayers are with the Jackson family. Love you Michael
Michael Jackson has the best performs ever and Janet
Janet sounds so sweet
Michael have a southern voice.
Janet has always been on Michaels side, she is such a wonderful sister. We have to protect her now, we have to stand up for her.
2:24 "right" SEEXXYYYYY =)))) he has the smoothest voice and the cutest laugh
that last part scared the shit out of me god damn
i love his voice so much.
his voice is soo CUTE and soft . he sounds like a baby;) i Freakinq LOVE him always &Forever !
I wish I had a big brother like Michael;-) Love u always MJJ!!!
EXACTLY as it was depicted in the biography "The Magic, the Madness, The Whole Story," by J. Randy Taraborelli. He hated interviews. He prefered not to do them, but album promoters insisted that he do them. Doing them in this manner allowed him to be somewhat comfortable, while at the same time drastically sabotaging the interviewer's intentions. Funny guy.

I just read that chapter a few days earlier.
It is so eerie how Michael and Janet look so much alike in the picture.

that pic of him and janet is so sweet. they were so close. stay strong janet ,fans and the family. god bless. he was awesome.

Thankyou for removing negative and unworthy comments for your page. I really appreciate it. We love you Michael And that love will never cease.
awwww janet sounds so cute and mike sounds super duper cuteee
When Michael died, a part of me died too. But he's still not dead to me, he's alive in my heart and through his music
janet was 13 14 but she sounds like a 10 yr old so cute
I agree with the comments about Michael's beautiful voice. It is so strange how he could take on that persona on stage and still remain so grounded in his personal life. I will remember his voice, off and especially on the stage, forever. I will never forget him.
My theory is we all took his existance for granted. He just was always in most of our lives from far as we can remember...we all thought we would have him for years to come. Then he was gone. I think ppl find some kinda comfort by watchin the vids. Thats my theory.
omg, this is the interview that Michael insisted the questions be directed thrugh Janet and she would repeat it to him and then he would answere while they were all in the same room together. I read about this interview but I never thought I would get to hear it. This is great!!!! thanx 4 sharing.
Man, THANKS FOR UPLOADING.
Michael's voice is so soft and I enjoy listening to it over and over again...
Me too, everyone was calling me weird because I was mopping around for awhile when Michael died. It felt like a family member had died. He was such an amazing person. RIP Michael Jackson I love you
I noticed that Michael is really humble. Even though he is a true genius and he knew it too, he still attribute his success to people around him. He said he learned alot from Motown and said it was the best school for him. I bet that it is that kind of attitude that drove him to achieve more and more in his life. I admire this trait.
OMG the sweetest voice there can ever be, I love him forever my pure, beautiful angel. His voice makes me speechless
I love his voice its so soft and sweet I miss him soo much:(
Michael has such a sweet and cute voice which reflects his great personality. miss him so much. i guess we can never ever find someone as talented and kind as him anymore. :( i cant face the fact of this loss
I cried the first time I heard his voice. I couldn't beleive that such a beautiful voice came from a human being.
great interveiw...liked hearing about what he learned from motown....but I had this turned ALL the way up, to hear Michael, leaned up, and the sound at the very end of this video scared the living life outta me. xD
OMGOODNESS IM READING J. RANDY TARABARRELLI'S BOOK AND HE WAS TALKING BOUT THIS INTERVIEW! LOL michael refused to answer questions directly so he had janet do it wow can't believe this is up thanks for uploading
Tasbah,Thank-you for laying out your words so beautifully.I always loved Michael,and truly understood his actions.I am still trying to wrap my brain around the fact that he has gone on.Michael,may you now R.I.P.
@makenart MJs voice is unique.. It has high tones and low tones and the same time... SEXY!!!. PLUS I love his Southern-ish American accent. He has a twang... It has such rhythm... like when he says "its just a plerg" in moonwalker hehe instead of plug hehe
My prayers for the Jackson family. Michael, loved his family. Janet, would be turning 14 the year this was recorded. I'm sure this pleased her greatly then.
TY for sharing this! Never heard it before and so glad he mentioned Stevie Wonder who I also love! :) RIP MJ! :(
I just signed the petition. He deserves it for all the good he has done in his life time for others. R.I.P. Michael. I love you. xxxxxxxxxxx
his voice is so calm, even calming me down
How sweet. He was helping Janet out. CUTE.
the interviewer of is j. randy terraborelli. he's the author of the book "Michael Jackson: The Magic and the madness" and this interview was in the book. i love u mike!!!
He sounds so sweet and shy! But when he gets onto the stage he becomes a whole new Michael!
Amazing i thank you so much for this video,on my favs.
Yeah, it really does annoy me when people say they have always been "true fans" when they really haven't. I have loved him all my life too!
I am so, so sad today, awaiting to watch the memorial service.... I know i am going to cry buckets. I grew up with the Jackson 5, musically,,, & ABC was my very first album. I honestly feel like, i have lost a huge part of my growing up years, with Michael gone. I'll never be able to hear "Man in the Mirror" without 'losing it' R.I.P sweet lil man. You will so greatly missed & loved 4-ever. (o;;;;;; Now its my turn to say, 'NEVER CAN SAY GOOD-BYE' to you.
i'm having a hard time too, i've been kinda depressed. the world is so full of doubt, distrust and evil that they couldnt believe that a person like michael jackson could actually really be that innocent and pure. i wish more people could understand him the way his true fans understand him. michael jackson gave me hope and love, i just have to keep watching videos of him over and over, it makes me feel like he's still alive. :(
I just read in a book that MJ was contractually unable to directly talk to the media at one time, so he recruited Janet to relay and answer questions during interviews. It was his way around the contract - he was not talking to the media, Janet was. Very slick, very very slick. :)
its so funny how the entire family seems to be so soft spoken...i love it R.I.P Michael Jackson
I remember this too. You're right - so loooong ago....memories
Thank you C-VISIONS for sharing this. : )
janet is so cute right there omg
Absolutely I find his whole life so intruiging. At the end of the day all we know of him for sure was his music, and we all love his music!!
aww his voice is so sweet. Rest in peace
RRonzebud, thank you so much for let us know about the petition. I signed it. That's exciting!
It's not just me...lol. I fall asleep to his voice in the hopes that he will visit me in my subconscious. I'm having a tough time with his death, so I listen to his music all day, and watch vids of his happy times when I get home. It helps me cope.
OMG I think I would faint every time he opened his mouth and uttered one syllable.
Omg... He's voice... he's voice is sooo beutiful!!
I know. I love Michael too. He was GENIUS to think of this. Little Janet probably had no idea wth was going on. She just loves her big brother lol
because janet read the questions because he was hoping the reporter would get irrated and leave because he didnt like doing interview
Michael, during some interviews was known to have Janet with him as a translator of sorts to make him feel more comfortable. As we all know he was after all terribly shy.
It was his way of showing his independence. He was coming into a it's my way or the highway type of attitude, because for most of his life, all the decisions were made for him, whether he agreed with them or not. So by telling the interviewer that it will be done this way, he was bangin' on his chest and asserting his grown up status. To us, it's strange, to him, he was finally in control of his life.
MJ's sounds of voice will be living in my soul for good.
HEY! YEAH! i just commented on the book! I think it's one of the best books I've ever read! A page turner- The stories were always taxing! I admire how well researched and how tryingly objective it was. It made me feel like I knew him! I love the part when he told a Jackie groupie not go to that secret apartment. It showed how good he was and how he respected women!!! OH MAN! my heart is churning! I'm waiting for the very last saga of that book which is after all these investigations!
geez...Mike's voice is always so sweet !!!!
I love his voice there it was smoothing and sexy
We will never be... a human so beautiful ... we cannot forget
Janet and Michael are so much alike! Its so cute :-D
Michael's voice is like an Angel
This is so hilarious. Only Michael would have Janet "translate" for him in this way. This was the first sign of his suspicions toward the media.
hi i read that back and it was very good. in that interview janet answered the questions as well and asking michael the questions. apparently it was because the record company made him do the interview and he didnt want to!!
this is the voice that everyone makes fun of but if you hear michael now, his voice is actually really deep and MANLY :D
Kinda wondering that, too! lol Great upload though, thanks! :)
Long live the King. Michael until we meet in heaven, we will miss you depply as long as we're on Earth.May You rest in peace. I will always love you.
the pic is SWEET! MJ is a sweet guy!
aww look at j her and mike are sooo close. sweet.
I was so looooonnngg time thinking bout his similiar voice to..and now i know who has the same voice as his, LADY DIANA....so soft..Michael michael michaelllll...miss u dear...
I miss hearing his voice I loved to here him speak his talking voice was sexy to me , I know it was a little deeper then what the public knew about I heard him once in a deeper voice it was sexy too I miss him RIH, h my love.
HIS VOICE!!! mmmmm... ohh i can't handle how beautiful that is. i really do fall asleep to it sometimes im an addict to michaels voice!
i also do the same thing. its so hard for me to realize that he is really gone. every day i listen to his music and watch videos of him and it makes me feel a little better. but i dont know if i will ever fully be at peace with his death. R.I.P michael jackson :(
Going off of what LMETeef was saying, this is around the time that Michael was pissed off at the media and the circumstances with his family and whatnot, so this was his way of getting back at everyone and taking control: the media got their interviews, but Mike didnt have to talk to them directly. He did it this way for a few interviews. (J. Randy Taraborrelli, author of one of MJ's bios, said he was one of the interviewers during this period, but got frustrated with this process and ended it.)
Michael was just fantastic. RIP Michael!
Listen in headphones (not the ending) You'll here his voice and it's so good
I can think of a couple of other reasons why he might want Janet to translate: 1) It gave him more time to think & formulate a better answer (sometimes politicians use this technique even when they understand a foreign language they like to use a translator to give them more time to think); and/or 2) If he had a mild auditory processing issue (e.g. associated with an ASD), he might have had an easier time understanding family members who he was used to.
I remember reading an article about this a loooooooong time ago. It is Janet that is translating. I think it was said that MJ was upset with the press so he was giving them a hard time and having Janet be there so they could stop twisting his words.
oooh i recognize this interview!! its from that tell all book from j.randy taraborelli ! that is one hell of a good book!
Very Nice 9elephant!!! Thank you. MJ - Forever Loved. 6/25/09 R.I.P.
poem I woke up to the news today I heard is health, his heart gave way I stood and stared at the floor Wheres his poster thats now off the wall? I will always see him on the small screen Black shoes shined with a red jacket that gleams With a voice that angels command and a childs heart that love demands Now we mourn the King Oh, how on the stage could he spin The pressure, the mountain he climbed The past and future he defined The beat, the tune, the voice, the lasting grace
very rare video. great job sir
I think this interview was talked about in the book Michael Jackson: The Magic and the Madness. Apparently, Michael did eccentric things at times. In this case, he did not want to talk directly to the interviewer, so he told him the only way he would do an interview is if it was through his little sister Janet. I think the interviewer was author Taraborrelli.
@kashiaroundtheworld Yes yes, I was just thinking this to myself today how much I really LOVE his SOUTHERN-ISH ACCCENT. It is the CUTEST, and most ADORABLE thing!!! His VOICE puts me in a DAZE!
I love his voice! So cute!
Gosh I can't stop crying after this
I'm reading the book "Michael Jackson, the magic and the madness" by Taraborelli. And there he recalls having an interview with Michael just like this, Janet acting as the go-between. And even though the question to why he wants it like this never is answered, but the author (who met Michael and his family a lot) think that it might have been a way for Michael to take control. Especially since his father and brothers never did as he wanted to. His voice was never heard while in the Jackson 5.
