Here we got the 5.5-minute music video for the song "You Are Not Alone" by Michael Jackson. This was released back in 1995, so it is already over two decades old and it was made by prolific music video director Wayne Isham, who also worked with Michael's sister Janet. But back to this one here: I remember it was a bit controversial because of the nudity in here back then when it came out, which also may have had to do with the fact that Jackson in his mid-30s was basically a White man already. We see him close to and hugging his then wife Lisa Marie Presley, both nude, but looking at how short-lived their marriage was, it may not have been as harmonic as we are supposed to believe here. I also did not like the beginning with Jackson in the limelight which feels a bit too self-centered for me. Anyway, other than that the music video is fine and I like the intimate touch to it. It is also one of Jackson's better songs in my opinion and a bit catchy at times. A solid little ballad in my opinion. Watch and listen to this one. I give it a thumbs-up and recommend checking this one out and as I am not always the very greatest MJ fan, this means quite something. Positively recommended.

A beautiful ballad and a video full of controversies. Two things are not the most wise for me about this video. First - the Michael - angel who, for a Christian, sounds almost as blasphemy, against the noble intentions. Second, the nudity and intimacy with his wife , more wise for private life than for a public video. Sure, the song is only important. And, not the last, the beautiful message.
