Michael Jackson Talks... to Oprah: 90 Primetime Minutes with the King of Pop

In Michael Jackson Talks… to Oprah, Oprah Winfrey sat down for a live primetime interview with the man she describes as “the most elusive superstar in the history of music”.

Elizabeth, who was at Neverland Ranch (the location of her 1991 wedding to Larry Fortensky) to provide Michael with moral support, makes a brief surprise appearance. She describes Michael as “the least weird man I’ve ever known. He is highly intelligent, shrewd, intuitive, understanding, sympathetic, generous to almost a fault of himself. And he just, if he has any eccentricities, it’s that he is, like, larger than life and some people just can’t accept that or face it or understand it. His talent, on stage, why I called him the king of pop, rock, soul, music, entertainment, whatever, there’s nobody that can come near him. Nobody can dance like that, write the lyrics like that, the music, cause the kind of excitement he does.”

Asked why they are such close friends, Elizabeth explains that their “childhoods are very similar. And we had that from the very beginning in common.”
