In the doco we're told how Michael eventually broke away from his family but there was nothing about the fact that he was physically abused by his father, which might have led to Michael wanting to work solo.
Which I suppose isn't a bad thing but this doco also had some stuff I didn't appreciate.
I found it sad when some rapper dude (don't know who) talked about how the first time he heard She's Out Of My Life was when Eddie Murphy was making fun of Jackson in his show Delirious.
This left me feeling a bit twisted because Jackson's delicate and beautiful rendition of this song for me simply wasn't up to be made fun off.
But they continued cutting back and forth between Michael Jackson's emotional performance to Eddie Murphy's parody and it angered me.
Like that old British saying, "it wasn't cricket" in any shape or form.
During the doco I was reminded as young Jackson sang and danced going from strength to strength of an old saying from my Granny. "Love many, trust few and always paddle your own canoe.''
Which is exactly what young Jackson did in his career.
For me his memory remains illustrious. He was a musical genius personified.
Fabulous to see this 2106 documentary again, great New Year tele.
