I had got this from my granma last year and will say i was disappointed. Everything in here is good on here except for the blurry version of Smooth Criminal. They should put the original version with the stunning choreography. Another problem was that the menu screen was boring. All you saw were his toes! This could have been better. If you want a better collection get the HIStory on Film - Volume II instead.

I bought this DVD for my wife in hopes of making her Christmas bright. Needless to say, I think this is just a bad DVD collection. From the outset, it seems like this DVD was put together in an hour. No time was taken to make it interactive, with extras, or any other bonus material. Some of the videos seem grainy and are apparently different from the one's you may have seen on MTV. It really is poor workmanship. No doubt the videos are fun for a fan to watch, but look else where if quality is important to you.
This is a non-quality DVD and they should be ashamed of releasing it.

Sorry honey.

I watched alot of this videos in my childhood to teen years and I even saw " Another Part of me is DisneyWorld in a film called Captian Eeo. Captian Eeo was a StarWars type film in 3D and it was really cool. It was in Epcot Center before Honey we shunk ourselves. Anyway Mike is the boy. There was no one anywhere Close to Mike except Prince. I enjoyed this collection however I wish they had a dvd for the bad album. I remember seeing the bad single with wesley snipes once or twice on tv but it was rare and it may have been a countdown thing of micheals videos.I even even saw the Ben movie. I do remember the black or white long version too. I though it was cool except all the crotch grabbing but i didnt know what all the controversy was about. It was wild how he was breaking windows but the panther thing was cool. I which they had "Leave me alone" and Speed Demon and Another Part of me and other bad album videos. I wish they had the longer version of smooth criminal on it too. I always loved the way you make me feel. He is smooth in the video and his gestures are hilarious. Maybe the do have the bad album dvd but I havent seen it. If they do have it I wont hesistate to get it.

If you were like me and already owned the two DVDs of HIStory (Video Greatest Hits - HIStory and HIStory on Film - Volume II), you were probably disdainful when this Number Ones DVD got released. Almost everything on Number Ones was already presented in the HIStory DVDs.

So is there buying incentive? At bargain-bin prices, yes, because on this DVD you will find three Michael Jackson videos that range from good to fantastic, and they're not available on DVD outside of here.

"Man in the Mirror" was a flat-out ballsy move on Jackson's part, to use only grainy stock footage and not a single shot of himself to make a video of one of his greatest hits of that time ("Man" was one of two singles from Bad that had two weeks at #1, not one). The song itself is a classic, thanks to one of Quincy Jones' best productions, a soul-stirring rhythm track, and Siedah Garrett's poetic, visionary lyrics, but coupled with the video's images of a world in turmoil, it's magic. This style actually spawned another classic music video years later with Soul Asylum's "Runaway Train", but Jackson was there first.

"Dirty Diana" holds a special place for me because it's one of the very few Jackson performance videos. Many people don't like the song, but I like it just fine, and Jackson and guitarist Steve Stevens were on fire in the stage show. This video made you realize that Jackson's touring band simply kicked ass.

There's one more curio: The short, sped-up version of "Smooth Criminal" intended as a broadcast alternative. This was the first version of this classic video I ever saw, and while it doesn't convey the stunning choreography and art direction of the full version, it is a masterpiece from the editing standpoint. If you want to do speed cutting, this is the way to do it, and at many points they even managed to sync up Jackson's hyper-sped-up footage to the tempo of the track, no small feat. Unfortunately, both this video and "Dirty Diana" seem to lack for a good master source; both videos feature substantial film scratches and look far less pristine than the rest of the official videos.

There's just one more video on here not available on other DVDs, and that's "You Rock My World". The song blows, and so does the video -- an expensive, self-indulgent piece whose only point of interest is its guest stars Chris Tucker, Michael Madsen and Billy Drago (Nitti in The Untouchables). I'm not surprised this video was directed by Paul Hunter, the same man who had made Bulletproof Monk an unwatchable mess, because "You Rock My World" is your typical modern video with too much concept and not enough substance -- the choreography is messy, Jackson himself looks ridiculous (as he always does when he tries to act), and all the guest stars are wasted when they could've been given a chances to really colour the video with their personalities. Even "Liberian Girl" (available on HIStory on Film Volume II) was better.

I got this DVD from the bargain bin, so from my end, it was still worth it just for the three videos I mentioned. If you don't own either HIStory DVDs, I'd still recommend you get them rather than Number Ones, because the HIStory DVDs are a more comprehensive collection of Jackson's videos, and it's on those that you'll find the classic full version of "Smooth Criminal". Number Ones is for the casual viewer who wants to pay less to get most of Jackson's videos. If that's your preference, then this DVD will serve just fine. I'm still waiting for them to put Moonwalker out on DVD, though. That live version of "Come Together" and the hilarious "Bad" spoof "Badder" (featuring kids playing the punk roles!) are still only available on Moonwalker, and it's about time they resurfaced.

I really liked this DVD. It was a good price, and had a good collection of some awesome music videos. The only reason I gave it four stars, is because there were a couple good videos that were left out, but that's why you buy the other volumes.
The videos showed on this DVD however, were really great. They are quality videos to watch whenever. My favorites are of course the most popular, Thriller, Bad, and Black and White. I was a little disapointed that there wasn't much moonwalking, but it really showed Michael at some of the good times of his life. He was so talented.
