Michael Jackson Tribute – Smooth Criminal
Everyone has known by now that the King of Pop has passed on. Selling over 100 million copies of an album (Thriller) is a record that will never be touched again by anyone. The next closest is 45 million copies of Back in Black by AC/DC. Ain’t gonna happen. Now I could absolutely post Billie Jean, Beat It, Bad, Thriller, or any other numerous excellent videos by Mr. Jackson, but instead I bring you my favorite. This video goes beyond a traditional music video and incorporates a story-line with what may be some of the best choreography in the entire Michael Jackson music video library. When thinking choreography Thriller ultimately comes to mind….. However, Smooth Criminal may match (or beat!) it in every category. This version that I am posting it the 9-minute plus version from the movie “Moonwalker” which is no longer in print, and can only be found on VHS. (Which my brother currently has at my parent’s house.) Sit back, grab a beverage and enjoy my personal favorite MJ Music Video. Watch for the Lean (7:15).
