MTV is turning 28 years young (old) tomorrow, Saturday, August 1st, and instead of drinking some stupid combination of alcohol and generic fruit juice that we're too old for, or getting a Dairy Queen ice cream cake with the little chocolate crunchies (you're NEVER too old for those -- those are SO delicious), we'll be celebrating by remembering an artist who's given more to MTV over those 28 years than almost anyone else -- the late Michael Jackson.
At 12pm ET/PT, watch the world premiere of Michael Jackson's Human Nature -- an MTV special featuring candid stories from Michael Jackson's friends and colleagues about the human side of Michael Jackson, not just Michael Jackson the entertainer.
At 12:30pm ET/PT, watch Michael Jackson’s Top 10 Video Countdown -- 90 minutes of Michael Jackson's most popular videos, determined by their popularity on mtv.com. Plus, get facts and trivia about each video and rare interview footage of Michael discussing his singles.
At 2pm, MTV presents the world premiere of Michael Jackson’s Influence on Music -- an hour-long special featuring a collection of the top videos by the artists influenced by Michael Jackson -- from Justin Timberlake to Usher, and more, plus messages from artists remembering Michael Jackson and exclusive interviews about the impact Jackson had on their music and lives.
Finally, at 3pm watch a special reairing of America’s Best Dance Crew: Michael Jackson’s Thriller to see dance crews remember Michael by creating their own new dances set to Michael Jackson's classic Thriller album to celebrate its 25th anniversary.
+ Plus: Watch two seminal Michael Jackson videos from when MTV was just a baby:
