Jacko CANON

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Following Wednesday's Thriller poll, it's probably time we sorted out just which of Michael Jackson's UK Top 40 hits are Thrilling and which are steaming piles of Bubbles! I can't even begin to describe all the bonkers things our Michael has done, so let's get on with the ticking!

To keep things manageable I've left off the Jackson Five material (enough for its own canon really) except where Michael is credited separately. You have SIXTEEN ticks to denote your Jacko love!

my favourite Jacko video is actually 'Leave Me Alone'. Excellent 'elephant man' dancing sequence and the only video appearance by Bubbles (in a ROCKET CAR!).

also much of 'Moonwalker' is still AWESOME.

When I was a tiny I used to get that mixed up with 'Moonraker'. Oh dear.

Best vid is "The Way You Make Me Feel," where the flirtation is menacing, could be love, could be terror.

This isn't a regular promo vid, but here's the Motown 25th Anniversary performance of "Billie Jean", which may have been what tipped his popularity from rising star to phenomenal superstar.
