The American entertainer Michael Jackson (1958–2009) debuted on the professional music scene at age five as a member of The Jackson 5 and began a solo career in 1971 while still part of the group.[1] Jackson promoted seven of his solo albums with music videos or, as he would refer to them, "short films". Some of them drew criticism for their violent and sexual elements; others were lauded by critics and awarded Guinness World Records for their length, success, and cost.[2][3]

In the early 1980s, Jackson became a dominant figure in popular culture and the first African-American entertainer to have a strong crossover fanbase on MTV.[4] The popularity of his music videos that aired on MTV such as "Billie Jean", "Beat It" and "Thriller"—credited for transforming the music video from a promotional tool into an art form—helped bring fame to the relatively new channel. The success of these music videos helped shift MTV's focus from its original "rock 'n' roll only" format to pop and R&B and saved the channel from financial ruin.[4][5] Michael Jackson's Thriller short film marked a growth in scale for music videos and has been named the most successful music video ever by the Guinness World Records.[6] The 18-minute music video for "Bad", directed by Martin Scorsese, depicts Jackson and Wesley Snipes as members of an inner-city gang. Jackson paid cinematic tribute to West Side Story with the choreography.[7] For the "Smooth Criminal" video, Jackson experimented with an anti-gravity lean, in which the performer leans forward at a 45-degree angle, beyond their center of gravity.[8] Although the music video for "Leave Me Alone" was not officially released in the US, it won a Golden Lion Award in 1989 for the quality of the special effects used in its production and a Grammy for Best Music Video, Short Form in 1990.[9] Jackson received the MTV Video Vanguard Award in 1988, which was renamed the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award in his honor in 1991. He won the MTV Video Vanguard Artist of the Decade Award in 1990.[10]

"Black or White" was released on November 14, 1991.[11] It featured Macaulay Culkin, Tess Harper, George Wendt and Jackson. The video helped introduce morphing, seamlessly changing one image into another, as an important technology in music videos.[12] "Remember the Time" was an elaborate production, with a complex dance routine, set in ancient Egypt featuring appearances by Eddie Murphy, Iman and Magic Johnson.[13] The video for "In the Closet" featured supermodel Naomi Campbell in a courtship dance with Jackson.[10] The music video for "Scream", directed by Mark Romanek and production designer Tom Foden, is one of Jackson's most critically acclaimed. In 1995, it garnered eleven MTV Video Music Award nominations—more than any other music video.[14] A year later, it won a Grammy for Best Music Video, Short Form; shortly afterward, at $7 million, Guinness World Records listed it as the most expensive music video ever made.[15] "Earth Song" was accompanied by an expensive environmentally themed music video showing images of animal cruelty, deforestation, pollution, and war. Using special effects, time is reversed so that life returns, wars end, and the forests re-grow.[15][16] Released at the 1996 Cannes Film Festival, Michael Jackson's Ghosts was a short film written by Jackson and Stephen King and directed by Stan Winston.[17] The video for Ghosts is over 38 minutes long and broke the Guinness World Record as the world's longest music video.[3] The music video for "You Rock My World", which is thirteen and a half minutes long, was directed by Paul Hunter and released in 2001. The video features appearances by Chris Tucker and Marlon Brando.[18] The video won an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Music Video at the award show's 2002 ceremonies.[19]

In 1978, Jackson appeared in his first film, The Wiz.[20] It was nominated for four awards at the 51st Academy Awards.[21][22][23] Jackson later starred in Disney's Captain EO in 1986, the anthology film Moonwalker in 1988 and the posthumous documentary This Is It in 2009.[24][25][26]

List of music videos during the 1980s
Title Year Other performer(s) credited Director(s) Description Ref(s)
"She's Out of My Life" 1980 None Bruce Gowers The song's music video features Jackson sitting on a stool in a darkened room, lit by a single spotlight, singing. Use of split-screen technique shows Jackson simultaneously from two different angles during the second and third verses. [27][31]
"Billie Jean" 1983 None Steve Barron The short film for "Billie Jean" is considered the video that brought MTV, until then a fairly new and unknown music channel, to mainstream attention. It was one of the first videos by a black artist to be aired regularly by the channel, as the network's executives felt black music was not "rock" enough. [27][32][33]
"Beat It" None Bob Giraldi The music video for "Beat It" helped to establish Jackson as an international pop icon. It cost him $150,000 to produce when CBS refused to finance it. The video was filmed on Los Angeles' Skid Row, mainly in locations on East 5th Street. [27][34][35][36]
"Say Say Say" Paul McCartney Bob Giraldi In the short film, the duo plays "Mac and Jack", a pair of con men who sell a "miracle potion". Filmed at Los Alamos near Santa Barbara, California, the video cost $500,000 to produce and features cameo appearances by Paul McCartney's then-wife, Linda, and Jackson's older sister La Toya. [37][38][39][40]
"Thriller" None John Landis Released over a year after its parent album, Thriller is one of Jackson's most successful music videos. It was filmed at the Palace Theatre in downtown Los Angeles with Ola Ray co-starring as Jackson's love interest. The zombie dance in the video remains a Halloween favorite today. [27][41]
"We Are the World" 1985 USA for Africa Tom Trbovich This music video shows Jackson with other members of the supergroup United Support of Artists (USA) for Africa recording the charity single in a studio. [42][43]
"Bad" 1987 None Martin Scorsese The video is an 18-minute short film written by novelist and screenwriter Richard Price. Jackson portrays a private school student named Darryl, who is home on vacation. Darryl meets up with his old friends, including gang leader, Mini Max, played by Wesley Snipes. Darryl wants to prove to his friends that private school has not changed him—he's still "Bad". To do so, he takes his friends to a subway station to rob an elderly man, but Darryl has a change of heart and Mini Max chastises him for it. The camera then pans away to show Darryl surrounded by a different gang, who all break into song and dance to prove "Who's Bad". [27][44][45]
"The Way You Make Me Feel" None Joe Pytka The short version of the video is 6 minutes and 34 seconds long; the full version is 9 minutes and 33 minutes in length. The video begins with a group of men attempting to get the attention of women. Jackson's character appears to stand apart from the group in his approach to attracting the attention of their female counterparts. Former model Tatiana Thumbtzen plays Jackson's love interest in the video. After playfully chasing her throughout the video and captivating her through dance, the video ends with them in a warm embrace. Joe Seneca and Sean Cheesman have minor roles in the video. [46]
"Man in the Mirror" 1988 None Donald Wilson This video differs from Jackson's others because he does not appear in it, apart from a brief clip toward the end where he can be seen donning a red jacket and standing in a large crowd. It features a montage of clips of children in Africa, Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, kids at graduation, and other historical figures. [27][47][48]
"Dirty Diana" None Joe Pytka Joe Pytka directed the five-minute music video for this song. Model Lisa Dean appears in it. A second seven-minute-long accompanying video of a live performance (not be confused with the actual music video) was filmed in early 1988 before a live audience during a Jackson show at Madison Square Garden. [49]
"Smooth Criminal" None Colin Chilvers In the music video, Michael Jackson and the dancers immediately around him perform a seemingly impossible forward lean. To accomplish this maneuver, a hitching mechanism that Jackson co-patented was built into the floor of the stage and the performers' shoes, allowing them to lean without needing to keep their centers of mass directly over their feet. [27][50]
"Speed Demon" None Jerry Kramer
Will Vinton 		Jackson filmed a promotional video for the song, seen first as a segment in the anthology film Moonwalker (1988). It is directed by Will Vinton, who produced it with Jerry Kramer, Michael Jackson, and Frank Dileo. [51]
"Come Together" None Jerry Kramer
Colin Chilvers 		Jackson filmed this as a promotional video for the song, which was originally a segment of his 1988 film Moonwalker. [52]
"Leave Me Alone" 1989 None Jim Blashfield Fueled by Jackson's anti-media anger, the video sees the singer ride through a funhouse of newspaper clippings reporting on his eccentric behavior. The video took nine months to produce: the filmed footage was cut into stills, which were then edited using stop motion animation. [27][53]
"Liberian Girl" None Jim Yukich The music video features many of Jackson's celebrity friends—Paula Abdul, Dan Aykroyd, Danny Glover, Steven Spielberg, John Travolta, Olivia Newton-John, among others—who gathered on a sound stage to film the music video for "Liberian Girl", only to discover that Jackson had been filming them all along.

Television[]

"Stark Raving Dad" was the first episode in the third season of The Simpsons. Jackson performed the speaking voice of Leon Kompowsky using the pseudonym John Jay Smith.[120] The producers of the show were legally prevented from confirming that Jackson guest-starred, although many media sources assumed it was him. The episode was written specifically for Jackson, a fan of the show, who had called Matt Groening, the show's creator one night and offered to do a guest spot.[121] The offer was accepted and Al Jean and Mike Reiss wrote a script based on an idea pitched by James L. Brooks.[122] Groening and co-executive producer Sam Simon also contributed significantly to the writing of the episode.[122] In 2017, archival recordings of Jackson were used in the TV special Michael Jackson's Halloween.[123][124][125][126]
