looks like they're stomping on his head to put the fire out

Whoa. That's terrible.

Right now as I speak from an internet cafe in Spain, they´re blasting Thriller and I´m watching the video.

I lol´d.

lol

don't spray shit on your hair to look cool, kids

It's a shame that vid was for Pepsi...

Just put the slogan 'what's the worst that could happen?' underneath, and it would make a great Dr. Pepper advert.

hehehehe!

poor old jacko

i thought his spinning would put it out

hehe, was expecting something more along the lines of this ->

oh yeah, quite funny to watch someone burn

if you ever go up in flames i'll be sure to loller for ya

actually, I've set fire to my hair before

i'm surprised at how full on the media coverage is/was of michael jacksons death. like, the pic of him in the ambulance, pretty much dying with the hospital peeps around him trying to bring him back to life. news channels were showing that on screen for a good few minutes or so while talking about how troubled and fucked up his life was (general overview of his life/career kind of chitchat). and it just all seemed so wrong and disrespectful. same goes to this footage of him burning. you'd hardly expect it to be the kidn fo thing news channel would happily put on screen. espicially since MJ is pretty much regarded as alot people's idols and respected and all that. it's insane.

must be because he's black

It was all that jeri curl he had on his head (which at the time, was popular with black youth) - it's very flammable.

no shit that jeri curl juice is like lighter fluid.

lol

That was way more fire than in the Jackson Family TV movie scene.

What amazes me is that he did some funky moves and groovely went down the stairs before he felt it

I mean, doesn't that shit hurt like a burning scalp in the very first second?

It also took a while (i consider 5 seconds in such a situation a long time) before he was surrounded by people to put it out...

And nobody thought to yell at Michael that he was on fire?

On the other hand, i understand it. It wouldn't have been smart to yell "stop drop and roll!" while he was on top of the stairs

That would've resulted in some sort of tragic comedy scene

*mental image*

*guilty giggle*

There were probably a couple of people working on that set that figured his hair was supposed to be on fire.

I think its a pretty bad ass video, personally.

Jackson was known to have over-recorded during his sessions, former Sony Music CEO Tommy Mottola told Time magazine. (Sony's subsidiary Epic was Jackson's label from the late '70s on, and Sony owns the distribution rights to much of Jackson's music.) He noted Jackson "absolutely" over-recorded while in the studio for his most famous albums, and that "dozens" of new albums in a variety of formats could come to fruition.

"Let's say 12 or 13 songs end up on the album; Michael could have possibly recorded 15, 20 or 30 songs," Mottola told Time. "This would probably go for every album he recorded and probably pre-dating [sony] to his Motown days."
