Its sad that AI upscaling became the solution.

I made a video about this statement, 3 years ago :

Yes, many music videos were edited on video rather than on 35mm, so they don’t have a 35mm master. But that doesn’t change anything, because there are countless audiovisual works that don’t have a 35mm master and are currently being reassembled from the original 35mm camera negatives. MacGyver from 1985, to name just one, has 139 episodes of 50 minutes each, all re-edited in HD. So it’s really not that complicated.

As for films that are “lost,” they usually resurface with a bit of effort. As I said, every year films or fragments of films more than 100 years old are rediscovered. Nothing is impossible. And to me, the explanation given by the Estate raises more questions than it answers.

Finally, in Bad 25 we clearly see that they have 35mm raw behind-the-scenes footage from Bad, Leave Me Alone or whatever, but apparently not the actual films themselves. It makes absolutely no sense. At this point they’re totally capable of giving us an AI-upscaled version of Bad. Just imagine that. It’s shameless, but this is the situation we’re in. They’re just too lazy to search for, or work on, the film elements and reassemble them.

For Black or White alone, they uploaded a supposedly “censored” version because the zipper scene was missing. So a fan sent an email to the estate. They replied that they had gotten it wrong because the tapes were badly labeled, according to them. They literally didn’t even watch the original music video to compare it with what they uploaded. How is that even acceptable?

In 2010 they took the raw footage from One More Chance and digitally edited it; I don't think there was a master tape because the filming wasn't finalized, so it could have been restored in HD at the time. And another thing, in January of next year they're going to release the Number Ones compilation on vinyl for the first time, a good opportunity for them to re-release the short film in 4K. They are simply the worst estate I know.

So here it's the deal boys!




In apple Music and Tidal we have "Oficial video" and the "Michael Jackson vision" version that basically it's the same but with the intro of vision and in some case better quality "not too much" of the one called "official video"


Anyhow i make a Playlist off all of that version to monitored the update of the upscale version and in some case the one replace its the "oficial video" or the "Mj Vision"

For example, in Jam we have the "Oficial video" update, but in In The Closet the one replaces its "the vision" version, Same case of Who is It , Same with the Give in to me, its a total mess!!! 0 consistency

and for more confusion its that don't make enough, in some case the title says "Oficial video" and it's the vision version, and the vision version have the original video


0 professionalism


we have 3 version of Billie Jean and 4 of Thriller counting the real 4K restoration

Give In To Me is available in HD on Spotify. I'd say this one is pretty good, there's a few AI artifacts but it didn't bother me. I think it's a great upscale for my enjoyment
