The FIRST paternity test song LOL! Michael Jackson - Billie Jean REACTION! Revisiting my YOUTH

[@berniewatts5028]

He was quite the showman. I don’t believe he ever had a flop❤️❤️❤️👵🏼

[@itsakittyting]

True! He could have been silent for 3 minutes just breathing and it would have sold millions hahaha people who didn't live back then just will never know ☺

[@stevehamilton8824]

Incredible song for sure and the video is a banger. Michael made MTV huge, which is ironic since MTV was not promoting black artists at the time and even he had to fight to get his videos played. The videos did help Michael become a huge artist as well but his vision for his videos are what made the impact. At the time the videos were just thrown together and money was not something record companies were giving to make good ones. Michael had the vision to see that video were going to be the way to promote music and wanted them to be mini-movies. Michael was incredibly talented. There is no denying that he took the pop icon to a new level.

[@LunaJo67WDHTMJ]

Finally I can agree with you on something. :) Yes, MJ is still the GOAT, his music the pinnacle! And while I love the Off the Wall, BAD and Thriller era too, please listen to his other albums. Stranger in Moscow is a gem. They don't really care about Us is another one! Black or White! Scream! And on his last album songs like Unbreakable and Whatever Happens are master pieces... MJ evolved after BAD. he never made the same music twice and was always looking for new sounds. Btw Billie Jean stands for the groupies who were after his brothers when he was still very young. Lots of girls claiming to have a baby with one of his brothers... He describes it in his biography Moonwalk. LJ

[@spirosoikonomopoulos2651]

Fun fact is that the song started immediately from the music as Quincy Jones had written it but Michael wanted the Drum beat intro so it would take it to another level and get people to jump up on their feet and dance like the drum intro for' Rock with you ' which Quincy refused in the beginning but Michael was so adamant about it that it was put in in the end.

[@pffp6246]

I was born in the 70”s by the time 80”s came around MJ blew us all away….. as all the music in those times best ever as kids we would all dance our moves like MJ.

He’d given a DNA sample and of course it wasn’t his lol. She went to jail multiple times for not following the restraining orders Michael put up against her and she kept haunting him all the way till 2009.😅 there’s a video of her speaking about it on KZbin while she’s in Jail.🤣 she demanded that the court calls her "Billie Jean Jackson" but her real name was Lavon Powlis.
