   This is the Randy Tarraborrelli’s interview?
   Michael accepted to do this interview as long as Janet ask him the questions and no Randy, That make him feel like he had the control of the situation. For some extrange reason…
   well… it’s Michael ¬¬.

   Tom Sneddon pursued …
   Tom Sneddon pursued this man for over 15 years without cause. He was refused permission to prosecute Michael by 3 grand juries in 1993, due to a lack of evidence and credible witness, so he kept an open file on Michael and spent millions searching the world for other victims. He found none. In 2005, using the flimsiest of pretexts Sneddon went to trial. 10 across-the-board verdicts later, Michael would be dead less than 4 and 1/2 yrs after being acquitted.

   Why does it matter? …
   Why does it matter?

   It matters because the attacks on Michael’s name continue.

   It matters because the extortions of 1993 and 2005 shattered him completely.

   It matters because the catastrophic agony Michael went through – placed him in a head on collision with someone like Doctor Murray.

   It matters because the media tore this man to pieces for over 15 years.

   It matters because three children are now living without their father.

   It matters because Michael matters.

   @ nayoluv Thats …
   @ nayoluv Thats exactly how I feel. I was born in 1985, I’ve loved Michael for as long as I can remember, I cant remember a time in my life when I didnt know who Michael was and I had never envisaged a time in my life when Michael would no longer be here. These videos are indeed precious. They’re part of his legacy. What he had to say is just as important as his music and its a comfort to listen to his voice.

   My theory is we all …
   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.

    because: By this …
    because: By this time in Michaels’ life, he had become less trusting with any journalist..he had basically become very jaded and the only way that he would do this specific interview, would be to have janet be right by him and she would be a mediator between the interviewer and himself…It was a way of guarding and protecting himself…for instance, it would be highly unlikely for the interviewer to ask a question like “are you gay?” when his younger sister would have to filter the questions.

    He was extremely shy too. He was so shy that while recording in the studio back in the late 70′s & early ’80′s, he would give instructions to the recording engineers by way of his brothers.

    This recording …
    This recording isn’t with J. Randy Tarraborelli, who is an American. The interviewer on here is obviously English. FYI-Michael gave an interview to a magazine a few years before his death (Quincy Jones’ Vibe magazine I believe it was). In the interview, he explained why he had Janet be a go between for him. He felt that the journalists would take it much easier on him if he had her there.
