Halloween Light Show 2010 HD - Thriller ( Michael Jackson )

This is the bomb!

Imogen Heap - Thriller

Imogen Heap is one of my favorite artists. She was on the Dermot O’Leary radio show on BBC Radio 2 this past weekend and performed a live piano version of Michael Jackson’s hit song Thriller. It's absolutely amazing to hear her version of this very familiar song! No picture to the video -- just the music.

Imogen just released a new album, Ellipse.

Interrogation about Michael Jackson in Three Kings

I was just reminded of this scene from Andrew Sullivan's blog. The pertinent part is just at the first few minutes. Warning NSFW!!

"What is the problem with Michael Jackson?" an Iraqi soldier asks a wayward American. "Your country make him chop up his face." He did it to himself, the American protests, but his interrogator insists: "Michael Jackson is pop king of sick fu**cking country."

Michael Jackson RIP

Michael Jackson - Beat It
Uploaded by sofresh305. - Watch more music videos, in HD!

As a child of the 70's and 80's, Michael Jackson was everywhere, but I remember distinctly when this video for Beat It came out. See, I was a nut for Fred Astaire, and Michael Jackson pretty much single handedly made dancing in music videos cool again. It's hard to remember now, but before Michael, it was all long haired rock bands playing live, or weird trippy quick cut stuff. Old school became radical again. This video was like a little West Side Story. It blew everyone's mind, and this was even before the mini-film of Thriller.



Weird as he was (and man, he was creepy in later life), he was the King of Pop, and his music is great. At the end of the above live video from a performance in 2007, Usher and Chris Tucker play tribute to his dancing.

Kids today only know him as the weird recluse with pale skin, and his children in masks. My 8-year-old son asked me, after seeing some of the TV homages this morning, "Was Michael Jackson black?" I think that sums it up.
