When was the first one. The first I remember was "Black or White," (of course that's because I was born in 87.) I remember it came on FOX at 8 PM on Sunday.

Was the first one Thriller? Although I remember Beat It being a big deal when it premiered too. For Thriller I remember fans gathering at the homes of people who had MTV at the time to watch it. It was a big deal to see Thriller in it's entirety.

I remember the premiere of Remember the Time like it was yesterday.

Me too. This, In the Closet, You Are Not Alone and You Rock My World. Those are the world premiers I remember. Did all his videos have world premiers?

Mine was 'Jam' and then I watched 'Remember The Time' and 'Black or White' premiere. I'll never forget when 'Scream' premiered. I was glued to that TV. I remember the excitement I felt at getting to see a new MJ video with every single one of these. It was like a trip to the movies for me. Such happy memories that will stay with me forever. I'm soo happy that I got to see him in person a few years ago when he was walking around Univeral Studios going from shop to shop. Aww, memories.

i think it was Remember the time or black or white, all i can say is I LOVE HIM SO MUCH, GOOOOOD IT HURTS ME SO BAD, my god, this just hurts so much. I just can't believe this. I have always loved michael so much and it was for most of my life since i can remember.

"Billie Jean" was the first single and video from Thriller. I never saw it, but heard it on American Bandstand almost every Saturday. I saw "Beat It" first I think. Seems like it was released quickly after "Billie Jean". BLEW ME AWAY. I LOVED "Beat It". I guess the rock side appealed to the white boy in me. I love when black artists do rock music. There's just something different about it.

Does anyone know his first world premier that was on many channels.

But I'm sure that's one of the reasons MTV began locking up videos for an exclusive premiere period. Then videos began getting 'world' premieres.
Of course, now that no longer works. Once you show it, expect it to be out there.

LittleBLUECorvette said:

I think that was Black or White on Fox. At least that the only one I remember. I think videos from Bad were still premiering on MTV at that time.

LittleBLUECorvette said:

"Black or White" debuted at the same time on MTV, BET and FOX. I and my nephew watched it on FOX because the end featured the Simpsons on there. I remembered "Remember the Time" and its world premier.

The first-ever world premier of a MiJac video was "Thriller" in 1983.

JackieBlue said:

I forgot about "Bad", the video first aired on CBS after the end of that special they had on him. I saw the 17-minute version, it reaired on BET's Video Vibrations one day and my dad recorded that and Weird Al's "Fat".

Timmy84 said:

Actually, it appears to be "Beat It."

OMG, CBS. I totally forgot about CBS--even tho I watched it on there. Yeah I remember that. The first time I ever saw Michael live was for the filming of Bad.

SUPRMAN said:

Interesting, I kept remembering Thriller being the first one to be given a world premier. Then again they said Beat It was the first MJ video to be played on heavy rotation when it was thought to be Billie Jean.

Timmy84 said:

Beat It was the first to get regular rotation cause Billie Jean had already been out a while when MTV decided to play it.

LittleBLUECorvette said:

Ah I see. Like I said I always thought it was "Billie Jean" first. So they must've played both videos at the same time then.
