Looking back at Michael Jackson

June 25, 2009 | General | By: Mark VandeWettering

Today came the news that Michael Jackson, the legendary King of Pop, died of cardiac arrest at age 50. Yes, I was a fan. Who wasn’t in the eighties? He was absolutely brilliant. He brought the combination of music, choreography, and film making together to completely change the landscape of pop music and television.

As I was driving home, I was listening to some of his songs on the radio, and I was remembering all the great video moments. The natural question was: what was his best video? It’s hard to argue with Thriller, but I think Black and White, Scream and Smooth Criminal are also good suggestions. Oh, and Billy Jean… Oh heck. I’m curious. What do you all think?

Hey, what about “Rock With You”? 🙂 I think that was probably the cheapest video he ever did, but it’s amazing considering what little they used — a back light, a laser, a fog machine and a sparkly.

However, of the ones you list I think I like Billie Jean the best.
