The Videography of Michael Jackson

Lacking Subtlety — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 02:53:27 -0800

We had a great Obit post yesterday and a great post on the music video work of Michel Gondry. Why not join the two? After all, he was one of the great pioneers and innovators of the format and worked with some of the great film and art directors there were... Here's The complete videography of Michael Jackson to enjoy for your weekend. Actual videos inside: You know the drill. Some are classic. Some have aged. Some are silly. Some transcend the awesome. But no matter what, anyone can acknowledge that Michael Jackson used the music video to maximum effect for creative output, marketing, spectacle, and even some pesky world issues. 1979 "Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough" by Nick Saxton "Rock with You" by Bruce Gowers 1980 "She's Out of My Life" by Bruce Gowers 1983 "Billie Jean" by Steve Barron "Beat It" by Bob Giraldi "Say Say Say" by Bob Giraldi "Thriller" by John Landis 1987 "Bad" by Martin Scorsese "The Way You Make Me Feel" by Joe Pytka 1988 "Dirty Diana" by Joe Pytka "Man in the Mirror" by Donald Wilson "Another Part of Me" by Patrick Kelly "Smooth Criminal" by Colin Chilvers "Come Together" by Jerry Kramer and Colin Chilvers 1989 "Leave Me Alone" by Jim Blashfield and Paul Diener "Liberian Girl" by Jim Yukich 1991 "Black or White" by John Landis 1992 "Remember the Time" by John Singleton "In the Closet" by Herb Ritts "Who Is It" by David Fincher "Jam" by Michael Jackson and David Kellogg "Heal the World" by Joe Pytka 1993 "Give Into Me" by Andy Moharan "Will You Be There" by Vincent Paterson "Gone Too Soon" by Bill DiCicco 1995 "Scream" by Mark Romanek "Childhood" by Nicholas Brandt "You Are Not Alone" by Wayne Isham "Earth Song" by Nicholas Brandt 1996 "They Don't Care About Us" (Prison version) by Spike Lee "They Don't Care About Us" (Brazil version) by Spike Lee "Stranger in Moscow" by Nicholas Brandt 1997 "Blood on the Dance Floor" by Michael Jackson and Vincent Paterson 2001 "You Rock My World" by Paul Hunter "Cry" by Nicholas Brandt "Ghost" By Apologies for any poor quality vids... there was... too... many links [lies down and takes nap]

The breasts of freedom

If you like breasts and freedom, you might want to check out a new movement to Boycott the Grammys. The site links to various essays in support of Janet and opposition to the FCC and corporate reactions to the event. I suppose they want to send a message to advertisers by skipping it but it'll probably be about as effective as the class-action suit at accomplishing anything.

Janet Jackson's breast has become the most searched-for image in (Lycos) net history, even beating searches for 11 September. Nice to see everyone has their priorities straight.

Janet Jackson pops out of dress at Super Bowl; CBS Apologizes. Note that this happened during Justin Timberlake's lyric of "I'm gonna get you naked by the end of this song." ..."It was not intentional and is regrettable," said Timberlake. Please direct all complaints to Viacom (owners of CBS, which aired the Super Bowl, and MTV, which produced the half-time show), if you felt offended. Me? I was pleased — it was one of the more entertaining half-time shows I've seen. Who needed the Lingerie Bowl?
