OK, so this is for you Michael... let's continue:
It was really hard to choose the order because I love all of his videos, so...
#5 Black or White

here to watch the panther dance]
What can I say... he's just fantastic!!! Michael, one more time, demonstrates the great singer and dancer he always has been. I like the melody of this song. I remember watching that video on tv (cuando daban cosas descentes en TC, en fin) And I liked how MJ improved each of his videos, I mean, each of his videos is better than the other, about the story that wants to show us and the special effects. I loved the part of MJ on the Statue of Liberty, it's epic. And the part of the morphing effect. The first time I watched I said: '' How can he transform into a chinese woman, and then to a man with blond hair and blue eyes, and the to... Tyra Banks jejejeje (I realized she was in the video this year). I thought MJ had magic power and was able to transform in anything. I was just 3-4 years old! I didn't understand English at that time but I understood the message: I don't care you're race or where you come from, the important thing is the inside. I love you Michael, thanks for show me (and all the people of my age) that important message.
But the part of panther... I tought he was making a dancing routine and he liked panthers... I didn't think it was about the racism. Now I understand. Genius MJ. I don't know why do people at that time censored it. I was a little child and I didn't think it was a sexual thing, I was too young to understand that part, and as I said I was just thinking it was one of his dancing routines. I love this video. Now that I am an adult, I can say that MJ was a really intelligent person.

here to watch the cutest pouty face jeje]
God... In this video we can see the prettiest, coolest, cutest, sexiest, most awesome and fantastic Michael Jackson ever. That's why I love the Moonwalker video. I always love to watch that VHS cassette (jeje) with all my family on a saturday afternoon. Anyways, when I watch this video I said: "Wow! he's cool. He can transform in anything" I like the part of the child and his grandma: '' MICHAEL JACKSON AAAAAAAAHHHH!!'' jejejeje LOL!!! I always remember that. Michael Jackson had a cute smile... you should watch this video. His pouty face is so aaaaawwww, the cutest MJ face ever! And Spike the rabbit is fantastic. I love the tecnology that was used for this video. It's cool!
#3 Thriller

sorry, I couldn't find a complete version
All that I can say is obvious for any person. This video made history. It was a complete revolution for the way of making music videos. I love the melody of this song <3. What can I say? I remember when I watched this video with my family, they were good times... we hadn't watched videos together for years until... you know... june 25th. Anyways, I remember the part when MJ became a wolfman, it was the scariest part of the video, I was so scared that I used to look to any part but the tv screen jejejeje. But this video had funny parts too, so I think that's one of the 64752371354174 factors that made this video incredible. I like the part of the cinema... MJ eating popcorn is so cute jeje (omg, he had so perfect teeth). Anyways, all of the details of this video are cool: the story, wardrobe, MJ (obvious), the dancers, make up, everything. All about this video is epic. The first thing that any person thinks when someone says "Michael Jackson" is Thriller. The dancing part is a historic moment of music. There are no words to describe it... specially if you don't speak english very well... like me XDD
#2 Beat it

[clic
here to watch Weird Al Yankovic - Eat It music video jeje! ]
(note: for people who don't know, MJ allowed Weird Al to make the videos, so don't get offended with them)
This is the reason that I admire Michael Jackson and this is my favorite song, my #1 song but my #2 video. In this video I see a kind of "Michael Jackson is an hero and a person to be admired" because of the story. He invited to those street gangs (according to his book "Moonwalk", those were real street gans) to dance and feel the music instead of fight and kill themselves. We can see a powerful MJ on this video: he danced in a way that demonstrates that he's the best, he sings so fantastic, he show us that he can change things and make peace with his music. I love the sound of this song, the guitar, a rock n' roll feeling, It's hard to describe. The song and the video had a lot of energy. This videos makes me always smile. The only thing I can say watching Beat it is: "This man is so wonderful". It's really hard to descirbe a feeling.
When my dad made us watch those VHS cassettes I was waiting the moment of watching Beat it... and my # 1 video...
#1 Leave me alone
[clic on the picture to watch the video]
Many people (if people read this post) are asking themselves "Why this video?", so the answers are:
1. Bad era: My favorite MJ era. It's hard to describe, but I think "Bad" is my favorite album and it deserved more than just one Grammy Award (I like it more than Thriller) and "Leave me alone" is from this album. MJ looked so handsome and cute those years <3 and this video was released on 1989 (The beginning of my era jeje)
2. The song: I love the sound and MJ's voice. It has an important message: LEAVE HIM ALONE! (personal note: odio a la prensa rosa).
3. It's unique: This is the most different of his videos. It's an animated video and has a lot of details that I like a lot. It was used a lot of technology with fantastic results. That's why it won the only Grammy for "Bad".
4. It's a parody of all the rumors of his life: The "press" used to call him "Jacko Wacko" and the video was a response to that. MJ was used as a fair rarity by the "press" in order to get a lot of money selling their "magazines". That's exactly what we can see in the video: The "press" built a fair on MJ's body, and he was the big attraction. We can watch parts of the video with reference to the "hyperbaric chamber", the bones of the Elephant Man, rumors about Liz Taylor, anyways... many trash. The reporters had dog faces (XDD) and they were enjoying the attractions of the fair (obvious). We can watch MJ crossing and visiting this "fair" in a kind of rocket with his monkey Bubbles... and a llama (just a few seconds). Speaking of llamas, MJ had one called Lui (jejeje, like my sister XDD).
Anyways, I love this video because it's well done, it's amazing, it has an important message and because I understood the fact that the press treat him as a circus rarity when I was just a little child, I didn't need to learn English or be an adult to understand the idea of the video. I hope that those careperros left him alone someday... MJ's death! What else do they want?
RIP King of Pop and thanks for your amazing music <3
I hope you liked my posts (if you read them) and sorry if my English is not as good as I would like.
