"Thriller" is not a favorite of mine, but "Beat It" is a brilliant song.

Yeah I know what you were saying but I didn't bother...

Well that's your opinion, i never listen to his stuff and associate the song with the videos. Do i think about Iman while listening to Remember The Time? do i hell.

The music stands on it's own.

And "Billie Jean" was even more awesome but my favorite MJ track doesn't have a video.

"If they say why, why?
Tell them that it's human nature
Why, why, does they do me that way..."

lol I didn't know what you were talkin about until I read your other post. But I love Lady In My Life too so chill.

His music video's are great, but I would still think he was great and love him just as much without them. Michael came from a time and started in the music business when you HAD TO HAVE TALENT to make it, period! There was no MTV or anything when MJ was starting out. It's because of his talent that he made it in the first place.

His music and performances all the way from the Jackson 5 days when the music video wasn't even around or it wasn't a force like it became in the 80's, to later on, still holds . I love all his albums for the record. I can find brilliance in every album of his. He's never dissapointed me musically. I don't even watch his music video's that much to be honest. I do however watch his performances and listen to his music all the time though. Music video's or not, I still think he's amazing and I would still be a huge fan regardless.

I'd rank him pretty high without the videos. I mean, until he died, I hadn't SEEN an MJ video since his last one, "You Rock My World" once in 2001, and before that, probably once when I happened to catch "Ghosts" or "Blood On The Dance Floor" in 1997, yet I'd still get on a kick and listen to him a lot every couple years. I've never really cared too much about videos.

Michael first video was Goin' Places with his brothers back in 77. Before then, his music was rockin' without videos. His videos were just bonus material. A great song with extras.

I tried get thru Mj's cd the past couple of weekends and something became very obvious. Mj's music does not hold up very well without the videos. My question is, where would Mj be, without his videos and the level he took the video 2?

His voice is great. His music is catchy. But it's "sing along" music.MJ is a media star--not an artist whose music is to be studied.

WHO ARE YOU??

I think Off the Wall shows that he's great even without videos.

Yes I know there are videos to Rock With You & Don't Stop, but they are not what carried the album. It's the quality of the music.

And the video actually reeked to me.

Timmy84 said:

I agree.That video is HORRIBLE.Why waste a beautiful song on a silly video that features a bunch of his celeb pals? This is one thing that has always irritated me about Michael.He always had this need to "show off" his celebrity pals,as if to say "Look who I got in MY video!",lol.

SoulAlive said:

I think the video is quite clever, actually. I could certainly imagine all of his celebrity pals begging him to be in a video; he killed like 53 birds with one stone!

Mid-level star. Nowhere on the Thriller level.
