Michael Jackson - Billie Jean

















Billie Jean is a Michael Jackson song from 1982/3 and is from, 'Thriller'
The music video was directed by Steve Barron

The video opens up in a seemingly poor area, this is due to the rubbish blowing everywhere and the homeless man lying behind the bin. The subject of the video enters(MJ). Everywhere he walks and touches lights up. He changed the homeless man in to nice clothes. This suggests that he brings light/goodness everywhere he goes and is liked by all. The video contains seamless transitions and is easy on the eye with the split screening used. Ultimately no one can actually see him but he lights things up as he moves. There is contradiction over what the song refers to but Michael Jackson claimed it was from experiences with groupies.
