A long awaited new Michael Jackson video for the late King Of Pop's "One More Chance," debuted on the his official website Friday and it's blowing away Michael Jackson fans. The official website announced on October 13, that the music video will be released in a deluxe DVD boxed set "Michael Jackson's Vision" on November 22, so it will be not make the cut for "Michael," the forthcoming album of unreleased material that's been busy generating controversy lately, due in stores December 15.Michael Jackson, one of the most widely beloved entertainers and profoundly influential artists of all-time, made an indelible imprint on popular music and culture. He had already done two other completely different songs called "One More Chance" with "The Jackson 5" on the "ABC" album, and with "The Jacksons" on the "Victory" album. The Victory album's "One More Chance" was written and performed (lead vocals) by younger brother Randy Jackson. Janet Jackson also covered the Victory album song on her single for "If," as a B-side. The 2003 song was the last original single released during Jackson's lifetime.
The R. Kelly penned single "One More Chance" is one of Jackson's most soulful singles that really grows on you as you listen to it. It popped up on Jackson's "Number Ones" compilation album, and was released as a single seven year ago. The track is described by the TMZ showbiz website as "the real deal". This is in contrast to Breaking News, a posthumously published song whose authenticity has been questioned by Jackson's nephew TJ. As with the song being the last brand new single released during his lifetime, the video is also Jackson's last music video, and the first with new footage to be released posthumously. The single was instead promoted using a montage video of highlights from Jackson's career to date.
The previously unreleased material was shot primarily in Las Vegas in 2003, but production on the clip was halted when Jackson's "Neverland Ranch" was raided by authorities due to new allegations of child molestation against Jackson which resulted in the 2005 trial that many believe marked the beginning of the rapid downward spiral in Jackson's life. Prior to the video being shelved, Jackson approved this cut and stored the original source materials in his personal archive. The newest video features Jackson dancing and lip-synching in a theater, showcases Jackson performing on tabletops as a choir sings onstage while the audience stands on the stage. The song's mellow tempo keeps his dance moves calm until around the three-minute mark, when he cuts loose, bounding on tables, kicking over lamps and pulling some trademark spins and arms-outstretched gestures.
