for such a long time. - I have to say,
that's better than Beyoncé, and that's-- I can't
believe I'm saying that. - I like his music a lot. You can just dance along. - When he died, at the time,
I didn't know who he was, but then my mom told me
to start listening to him and I did and I was like, wow. - I loved all of it! It was so good. I wish he was still alive today,
but that's really-- that sucks that he died, but...
at least we still have music of him. - (children) Question time! - (FBE) All of these were hits
from the pop star Michael Jackson. - Yeah! - He's pretty famous. - Everybody should know who he is. He's like the king of pop! - King. Of. Pop. - He's one of the greatest
pop stars of all time. - If you do not know
who Michael Jackson is, you live under a rock, literally. - (FBE) So what do you think
of Michael Jackson from all of the videos we showed you? - He always changes. It's weird. - Kind of creepy. - Every one of his songs
has a good message. - His dance moves are great,
his songs are great. - He is an amazing singer.
He is awesome! - His dancing is so good, like top one. I love him so much. I wish I could just see him again! - (FBE) So Michael Jackson
started performing when he was just six years old, in a group with his brothers,
which later became known as-- - Jackson 5! Jackson 5. I LOVE the Jack-- Jackson 5. - (FBE) He eventually went solo
and became one of the most famous stars of the '80s and '90s, and some say he is the most successful
entertainer in history. - I believe it. - That's true. Right there, that's true. - (FBE) So what do you think
it is about Michael Jackson that made him so popular
for such a long time? - Well, he wrote good music. - He's a good singer, he's a good dancer, he's likeable. - He was so good that,
like, parents know him, so the parents tell their kids,
or kids can find out on their own. - He doesn't care what anyone else says, and he just does his own thing. He's just different.
He just pops! - He just has great, happy, good music
that makes you want to dance and sing along with him. It's catchy, I mean,
it's already in my head. You can't get it out. - (FBE) So besides him being famous,
and singing and dancing, there's also been a lot
of controversy around him. Do you know anything about that? - What does "controversy" mean? - Mm, no. - No. - Mm, no. - No. - No. - No, because I'm, like, ten. - Uh-uh. I have no idea. - I think I heard something about,
like, he was like with kids' sleepovers or something. I heard that, but I'm not sure
if that's true or not. - (FBE) So, unfortunately,
Michael died in 2009 when he was just 50 years old.
- Oh, only 50. - 50's not old and it's not young. - I think he should have lived longer. - When he died, it pretty much
changed the entire world. - It was really sad because
my grandma was crying and I was looking at them, like,
I don't know what's happening, but it must be really sad. - (FBE) When he died, it was massive news, all around the world. So why do you think his death
impacted so many people? - Because everyone loved him. - He was really famous,
and when famous people die, everyone always gets sad. - He's such a good singer
that everybody knows him. I don't even remember
when I found out about him. I just feel like I always
just knew him somehow. - Everybody was moved by his music,
by the messages in the songs that he wrote. His music, like, changed people
and they want to give back to him. - (FBE) So before we end the episode, we want you to do one
of his most famous dance moves, and that's the moonwalk.
- Yay! - Oh, I know that. - I tried to learn it
when I was, like, ten and I completely failed. - I'm gonna take off my shoes
because, as you can see... I should have weared better shoes today! - Get ready to be astonished. Just kidding. I don't know... ♪ Hee hee ♪ ♪ (Michael Jackson, "Billie Jean") ♪ - (giggling) - Oh, gosh, there's the wall. - ♪ Hee hee ♪ ♪ Hee hee ♪ - Thanks for watching
