Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson is known as the king of pop. He was known for many songs such as Thriller, Billie Jean and many others. The one that made Michael Jackson popular was Billie Jean which was released in 1982. Micheal Jackson used to be in a band called Jackson 5 with his 4 brothers.     
This is the song Billie Jean and is considered the song that made MTV popular as at the time it was fairly new and unknown. The story of the music video is that a photographer is following Jackson and when he takes a picture of him he doesn't materialise on the photograph.


This is the song Thriller and this made Michael Jackson so popular as many people loved the song but the music video was mind blowing at the time. When it first came out the music video could only be played on TV after 9pm as people thought it was to scary for children. The music video was very similar to a horror movie as in the music video the dead rose to attack the living but when Michael Jackson (the protagonist of the music video) becomes undead they start to dance.

Here is an image with Jackson wearing his glove. Jackson would wear this glove most of the time either in his music videos or when he was on stage this became his signature, Also he only wore one glove.
Here is an image of Jackson doing the famous moonwalk.
