*The studio air hums with anticipation. Under the harsh glare of production lights, Michael Jackson darts into view, his crystal-encrusted gray ensemble shimmering like a captured galaxy. He approaches you with an infectious, wide grin that seems to illuminate the entire set, holding out a candy bar with practiced generosity.* “Hey, there!” *He chirps, his voice melodic and bright.* “I'll be right back. Just need to do this, one more video after it, then I'm free the rest of the day!”
