Thank you so much 🥰 I've received the book! Never won anything in my life:) Also, a huge thank you for the interview!
This is really great! Absolutely enjoyed reliving Bush's experience! I wish you'd include some of the clips Bush referenced. I can see them in my mind and how hilarious 🤣 they were.. & now I know it wasn't a show accident
I received my book!!! Very grateful to have it. Thank you again for this GREAT interview, and ope you'll do more with MJ's colleagues!
Michael Jackson will be remembered hundreds of years later as we now remember Mozart, Tchaikovsky or Beethoven.
Michael's music and artistic influence will live on forever.
Thank you Bush for presenting Michael in all those incredible outfits.
The greatest testament to Michael's character - both as an artist and a human being - is the fact that a man who was so instrumental in making the magic happen - still thinks MJ was utterly magical (as) himself, outside the illusion. Which does go for practically all of MJ's collaborators and friends, many of whom were guests in MJCast podcast, which I would recommend to anyone interested in Michael.
At 32:10 when Bush talks about how the Bill Whitten “Victory Tour” jackets were too heavy to dance in, my mind instantly transported me to that rare footage of him on that tour. He was only like 115 pounds at the time; so when he would spin around, he didn’t always look like he wasn’t in complete control of his spins until he took the jacket off. I ALWAYS noticed that and even kind of felt it.
Its amazing the work that Michael and his team did!
This guy is the luckiest guy in the world , blessed indeed
I have this book and it was one of the few books that i could not put down it is brilliant for anyone MJ fan should have. Michael Bush has so many many memories of Michael Jackson. I love this interview I could listen to Michael talk about MJ for days and not get tired.
This is a man who they were never able to buy, him and Turtle. So much respect.
I love how truly great people carry themselves with quiet confidence. But the mediocre ones are all arrogance.
Mystique on MJ is magical, frm outfit to moves to songs, behaviors, humanitarian works.
Stage spectaculars every concert.
Omg hearing how MJ was is fascinating, and Michael Bush’s story is fascinating too...it explains a lot
What a great interview it was. Many of us are grateful that Mr Bush wrote this book. It definitely helps to keep MJ’s legacy live forever.
Thank you all for this interview.
It's so nice to hear about Michael from his designer.
The emotion in his voice made me tear up. Great interview guys!!!! I watched the whole thing.
There were many moments where you can feel his connection to his work. He is an incredible person.
I'm brazilian, huuge fan of Michael Jackson and heard about this interview when some fanclubs where talking about it and, guys, thank you for made this. Sooo special, so precious, all the memories Bush had being told by himself with so much love. Oh god, I almost can't believe I've watched this. Thank you!
That was the best Michael Bush interview I have ever seen ! :) the jacket he was wearing was to die for!:) 😀
I have the book Dressing MJ by Michael Bush and most of what he mentioned in the video is in the book. But by far that book was amazing and i read the whole book in two days. I commissioned a tailor (family neighbor) to build me some jackets. It started simple with the thriller jacket and then it just went crazy afterwards. I have about 8 of them if I remember. Michael Bush is someone who I look up to.
He looks LIKE Santa Claus, and he looks like an extremely lovable old guy.
Nailed it! He is definitely that. Thanks for watching and be sure to share and subscribe.
Michael Bush is a genius costume designer!!!
He is an great mind and incredible person.
Great interview. You guys should also interview Brandi Jackson. Sure has a lot of info about Wade Robson and his lies
That leather jacket is super dope
I just loved this whole interview, made me laughing at several occasions and just want to say how much it is amazing for us to hear these kind of valid and true stories from people were very close to Michael. I’m very grateful to you guys for sharing this with us and to Michael Bush for everything he has done and still doing for Michael.
I’m a MJ fan from a very young age and Michael always had a huge affect on my life. Thank you all for this interview! ❤️
We appreciate that you loved it! Michael Bush is a wonderful person. He truly cared about his work and the people who surrounded him.
Michael the Iconic King of Pop! thank you so much Michael Bush for sharing your story...I enjoyed it..and I got the Book too......wished it was signed by you.....AMAZING GUY you are...Michael will remain Untouchable...
💕Definitely Bush Michaels music makes me feel better helping me get through breast cancer and radiotherapy at the moment I watch his concerts and listen every day up lifts me 💕music is a powerful thing
Wow Mj king of fashion
Great interview and such good stories. MJ what a genius and prankster! We love you more 🥳🦄😍
Wow great interview. Thank you all so much. I am a huge Michael Jackson fan since I was a child, and I will love him forever.❤️
Wow...thank U guys for this interview. Michael Bush is an amazing man and working with the greatest entertainer was really a blessing.
Just LOVED this interview! One of the best MJ interviews ever!! Candid and fun!
My favourite outfit of Michael’s? Gosh.... soooooo many beautiful creations... but I guess I have two all-time favourites:
The white pearl jacket and black shiny pants and glove he wore to the Grammys when he got the Legend Award, and the black rope braid jacket with red accents that he wore on a few multiple occasions, firstly to the White House to meet Pres. Reagan ! And I think also, the dipped-in-oil-look black leather pants and yellow shirt and HUGE metal belt he wore for the COME TOGETHER performance in the film Moonwalker... oh my God . 🔥
Bush-Hopkins-Jackson fashion creations were THE BEST ❤️💗
I just buy the book on Amazon..😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰..(the king of style)..be here tomorrow
Beautiful interview guys!!!!!!! #mjinnocent

Fantastic interview. I listened to it while I was working on a project and was very interesting and learnt some things about Jackson I didn't know before (I wasn't a huge fan growing up, but since a couple years ago when watching a blatantly bullcrap 'documentary' made me go research the actual facts about him and read all the legal court files and evidence and such which I now know has ALWAYS been on his side despite what tabloids say, and learn what a great guy he actually was, I've become more open to listening to his music and also his humanitarian work and personality appeal to me too). I enjoyed listening to all the stories Bush told about Jackson. Very cool he brought those shoes and jacket along too. Seeing how those Smooth Criminal leaning shoes work was fascinating. A genius concept and execution especially since it had to work for a live show each and every night and work instantly too.
The Simpsons story was funny if a lil sad because of how they tried to erase his episode despite the fact he's fully investigated & exonerated innocent man but they didn't do a thing about all the episodes that have actual pervs in them (mostly white rock stars like anthony kiedis, steven tyler etc who have admitted to doing things with young teens but no one seems to give a crap) and oh hey Matt Groening and his manky feet being massaged on Jeffrey Epstein's plane... ew...
Nancy Cartwright (Bart) actually spoke in support of Jackson last year during a conversation on her Facebook. She said "I LOVED working with Michael. He produced Di (sic) the Bartman and was kind and caring. So sad we lost a great artist. He had some nasty people around him for sure. And I don't mean The Simpson's." which was very sweet. Shame her co-star Harry Shearer believes the lies and even insulted genuine abuse survivors on Twitter who tried to show him proof he was wrong.
Anyways yeah great interview. :) Have a nice day.
We appreciate you checking us out! Michael Bush was amazing..Thanks again.
What a great interview this was! Precious! Makes me glad that Michael had the caring Mr. Bush around him for so many years.
He really is a caring and incredible person! Also, those shoes...are we right?!?!?!
Long time since i have seen him. Nice beard Michael! you are the best
Amazing interview. Thank you so much.
Michael Jackson was a one of a kind human being, beyond the art, he was a spectacular person.. never to be seen again. As Wade Robson said (back when he was still honest).. he was the “pure goodness of humankind”.
THIIS is a great . what a great interview thank you so much for this, it was very enjoyable..
