    I love this video!!! He is inspired by the absolute greatest… I’ve always been a huge Joe Cocker fan, as well as Tom Petty… and pretty much everybody he mentioned. It’s so great to see how much these people have impacted MJ… love it!

    Awesome video MJ!!!! It’s so interesting to hear you tell of all those musical legends that inspired you!!! I’m sure many of them had a hand in who you are today…so HUGE THANK-YOU’s to all of them!!!!

    Fantastic video, Michael! I always love to hear you talk about music, especially since we have similar tastes. Half the songs you mentioned are already on my iPod — I’ll be sure to check out the others.

    Dear Michael !
    I like your interview.. Like your confidency.. like how you’re holding the mic with no
    one time changing the distance from your face to keep the same sound level. I like
    the way you’re describing the songs.. Some of songs I don’t know at all , but
    I beleive you , that are beautiful, if they helped you to develop your vision of music
    and became a singer we all love – you.. But I remember your American Idol
    audition with this :
    There were time and you want to be free
    My love is growing stronger, as you become a habit to me
    Oh I’ve been loving you a little too long
    I dont wanna stop now, oh
    With you my life,
    Has been so wonderful
    I can’t stop now….
    Otis Redding ‘I’ve been loving you too long”..

    And it was great idea to fill out the interview background with your songs -Heart On My Sleeve and River Of Life.. Both are so beautiful and you sound just amazing.
