I like both, but think that the Brasilian is better because Michael is so good on that... thats him, live... and everybody crazy about him!!! Its really cool!!!

I really like the concept of the Brazilian version, but the prison video is too daring not to be more intriguing. Typically, the one they don't let you see is the one that's more alluring ;).

Plus, it's an angry song, and the prison video is definitely angrier.

depends on my mood....Prison version is more intense and brazilian is more chilled out and fun; specially the end where I always smile at MJ's gestures and stuff.

Overall, I think prison version though.

I would say the prison version. Much more graphic and to the point of the course "All i wanna say is that they don't really care about us"

He jus lays it all down with the holocaust, mistreatment to blacks and other

I like the Brazilian version because of the percussion. Odolum should've played on the album version IMO.

Prison version, it's powerful, has the effect it should have, and the video is relevant to the song lyrics...

I like both of them, but I voted for the prison version. When I saw that for the first time, I thought that Mike was in trouble now. They were going to hurt him, cause he has gone too far. He has messed with the establishment and they are going to mae him pay. That was a very daring video. I just loved it. pity they banned it. So much for freedom of expression.

Brazil! I love the prison one but the brazil has a more natural MJ around all the people, so that's where my vote goes.

I voted for the Brazilian version because I love the drums!!!

I voted for the prison version. I love the Brazilian version, but the prison version is, to me, much more powerful and moving. it helps really drive home the message of the song.

True. This is a tough choice. I did however chose the Brazilian version because of the DRUMS!!! And I think there is a bit more Michael in it.

They both have good concepts and aspects as stand alone videos if you don't compare them. If you compare them the Brazilian version is a lil more viewer friendly. The Prison version is a lil too edgy for the general public, it's more for strictly MJ fans. IDK where i read it but BOTDF is always considered a straight strict MJ fan video. His image by the time BOTDF came out appealed to generally just MJ fans. But to get back on topic, I prefer the Brazilian version whether you're comparing the two or as stand alone videos.

I :wub: both, Prision Version to me it's more credible, powerful, it represented quite well how he did feel because of the media's attack 'n makes me want to go to jail with Michael :wild: :dribble: :swoon:

I prefer the version of Brazil. Michael is very cheerful, spontaneous and rap the Olodum cashed perfectly in astral that existed at that time.

I love the drums in the Brazil version, but the prison version is powerful as well. Both videos fit the song very well in my opinion. I guess I'll go with Brazil in the end, but it's close.

Renata
16-09-2008, 03:46 AM
I love both versions, each one is perfect in its way, but I chose brazilian version.

Michael is more confortable, more happy in this version.. You can see that he's having fun, he's playing around, interacting with the fans...

Plus, it's because of that version that I got the chance to see him in person. :)

Just watched the prison version on youtube for the first time in ages and I have to show my appreciation for this version. I'm intrigued as to the back story with this video. Does anyone know if this version was ever shown on tv? I think this video connects with the song more although I really love the scene in the Brazilian version where Michael comes out of a building where the police are and he points his finger up to them. I think that part of the video could have been put in the prison version so that he does that before making an escape.

I picked the Brazilian version b/c more happens in that video, I enjoy Michael's interaction with the crowds & guards, & it's more colorful.

I think I've changed my mind. The prison version fits the message of the song a bit better and it's a bit more universal.

Brazilian version byfar. Love how everyone comes together in the end, it's more colourful with beautiful scenery.
The prison sort of creeps me out for some reason, and it looks kind of unprofessionally put together, whereas the Brazilian version looks like a work of art.
