BILLIE JEAN

First off, before I go into detail I want to say HOW much I am in love with this song. Billie Jean is a song created by the WONDERFUL and AWESOME Michael Jackson! This is my favorite song from him and I know all the words by heart (Not to brag but I do) and I listen to it all the time! This video that goes with this song is INCREDIBLE! But here is the real magic behind it all:

It is the 2nd single from the singers 6th solo album, Thriller (1982) Jackson stated several times that "Billie Jean" was based on the "Groupies" he and his brothers encountered while part of The Jackson 5. On December 1, 1982, Thriller was released to critical and commercial success. The song reached number one On Billboards Hot 100 chart, where it remained for eight weeks. (It should have stayed forever) The short film for "Billie Jean" is considered the video that brought MTV a fairly new and unknown music channel, into mainstream attention. It was the first video released by a black artist. But in conclusion, you have to listen/watch billie Jean. I hope you also realize the when this song came out, the Moonwalk was born.
