I LOVE this version it might be my favorite of the two if I’m being honest. Definitely more mellow but I like this version of MJ… it’s soulful. And the adlibs! 👌🏾 🔥

Michael Jackson would’ve been 67 today. His art is legendary, his legacy remains timeless, and his impact continues to stand the test of time. Time may pass, but the magic never fades ✨🐐

📺 #VintageAds: Classy Curl Activator 👩🏾‍🦱👨🏾‍🦱 • 1984

Relaxers burned. Curls dripped. Activator commercials? Somehow the least damaging (unless you count pillows & sofas) And yep, that’s Stacey Dash before the fame ⭐️

I kinda feel like how ppl felt when Denzel had to play a villain before he finally won best actor.

But I'm so happy for Bey.
