Is michael jackson "annie" in smooth criminal?

I think mj was an empath who felt like a victim and likened himself to annie, and the perpetrator in the song was a doctor. The irony.

See how easy it is to troll? #ireallymissyoumuch cool

Let's get serious.

I think Annie is what they call a CPR dummy.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

Yep. It reminds me of a nutty woman on Dr. Phil last year. Her name was Annie, and she believed she was the muse for "Smooth Criminal". She had someone break into her house, spy on her, leave footprints in talcum powder she'd put on the floor, etc etc. She was on a legal crusade to get royalties from the song. She goes through almost an hour of laying out how the things in the song are exactly what happened to her. Her daughter was on there saying her mother just needed to get a job, because they were broke & homeless and there was a younger daughter at home suffering.

Eventually, Dr. Phil played his ace. He had engineer Matt Forger there to talk about how there was a CPR dummy in or around the studio. And when you give CPR, you ask "are you okay"? And of course, the dummy's name is Annie. It was the simplest of things to inspire a song. This woman eventually changed her tune saying it was a coincidence, but everyone else was like "Not whatcha said 20 minutes ago!"

It's like when "Billie Jean" was out and a woman tried to use MJ, saying he was the father of one of her twin babies.

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

We need another one debating if MJ is "Susie" in Blood On The Dancefloor or "Little Susie". Then another one on like the Rabbit from Speed Demon/Moonwalker. Is MJ really a Claymation rabbit?

if it was just a dream, call me a dreamer 2

Remember in American Dream where Mike & Marlon hid under the bed and laughing when the older brothers brought girls in their room

No, through out the the song he says She
And her.

As he came into the window
It was the sound of a crescendo
He came into her apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet
She ran underneath the table
He could see she was unable
So she ran into the bedroom
She was struck down, it was her doom
Annie, are you ok?

I guess that incident inspired the spam that became this post....but it is about paranoia and based off his heartbeat, and I'm sure he was very scared after Thriller and channeled it into this song and just gave it another character outside of himself. Doesn't sound that different from what prince did with female alter ego's, but in a different light, you know?

yes I'm aware, I can see him grounding his paranoia and fear into a character outside himself, it's what artists do sometimes.

Less of an age difference than Hefner's later wives or the old man Anna Nicole Smith married. razz

Mike & Diana - 14 years

Mike & Lisa Marie - 10 years

Like he felt vulnerable or victimized from fame and likened his vulnerability to an abuse victim.
