nice, I didn't see anything about him yet on Belgian television,... I did read a 2-page article which was also very positive
I'm from Belgium so I've got no idea who these guys are but I can give you a summary of what was said:
first guy:he seems to be someone who works for the radio, he says this album is special because Billy Jean was his first single he bought and it was the first album which had 7 singles. So after Thriller, almost all cd's had 5 singles. He says it was a great succes but it was the start of the end for Michael because MJ kinda lost the reality.
*They show a few clips of Billy Jean, thriller, beat it*
second guy: He says Michael was very important in his whole life, for instence: he jogged with Michaels music. He once met Janet but he never met Michael.
Third guy: I think he's a singer and he was a really, really big fan: 'I'm still walking the streets and I hope the tiles light up
, when I started to get interested in music, I thought for a long time that Michael was the only artist. I only listened an studied Michaels music. I tried to play his songs on my guitare and I even wanted a nose like Michael, I thought it looked really cool. I had the socks, the pants, I tried to do the moves,...

The host says he tried to do the moonwalk a lot but he never succeed so he askes if 'the third guy' wants to do it.
the second guy says he once did the moonwalk on skates.
then they talk about what happened to Michael. The third guy says: ' he never had a normal life. He's performing since he was 5.' the first guy: 'At one point he was selling one million copies an hour, that's just grazy!!! Nobody really dared to say anything when he did somthing wrong, so it kept deteriorating.'
Host: 'but he's still around, he wants to start touring again, maybe with his brothers, that's what you read in the papers.'
second guy: ' he was really pushed to get were he is. He's performing since he's 5 and he's been pushed by his father. If you are this succesful, there's a price you pay.'
first guy: 'the only thing he needs to do is make a very good album'
third guy: 'yes, he has to go back in the studio with Quincy Jones. I know a nice studio in Amsterdam for him
. Some people say he's working on a new album.'
second guy: ' some things happened but he still has got his talent.'
third guy:'He build a monument that will always be around and it lies right there. ( the thriller cd) '
*clip of Beat it*
host:' this Friday it is exactly 25 years ago and there will be a lot of activities: documentaries, movies, cds,...' and he thanks the guests for being there.
I probably wrote a lot of mistakes but this should make the whole thing clear.
