The music is finished, the songs are ready. Let’s start from the beginning.” He adds, “This is your story.”
The video then highlights Jackson’s lasting impact, showcasing images of his massive concerts, handwritten lyrics, and memorable performances. It features fans singing along while wearing his famous silver glove, and glimpses into his early years with the Jackson 5, alongside clips from his legendary music videos, including “Thriller” and footage of his 1982 hit, “Wanna Be Startin’ Something” playing in the background.
The film Michael, starring Jaafar Jackson as Michael Jackson himself, also features a talented cast including Miles Teller as John Branca, Colman Domingo as Joe Jackson, Nia Long as Katherine Jackson, Jessica Sula as LaToya Jackson, Larenz Tate as Berry Gordy, Laura Harrier as Suzanne de Passe, and Kat Graham as Diana Ross.
