Michael had asked a horro film director to make the video with him and payed 600 000 usd for this which was a huge amount of money for a videopart that usually costed around 25 000 usd, the video was perfect, it suited the song´s scary words but it was a danger for Michael´s message to the world, so he decided to put a message before the video started that said "The singer did not believe in the song´s subject"]]> 2021-08-20 17:07:37 UTC https://padlet.com/lsaldivar2/umdxa0r3hq9bnk2n/wish/1688248201 lsaldivar2 https://padlet.com/lsaldivar2/umdxa0r3hq9bnk2n/wish/1688250486 Michael was no longer a star, he was a super star now. And he had more surprises for his millions of fans]]> 2021-08-20 17:09:08 UTC https://padlet.com/lsaldivar2/umdxa0r3hq9bnk2n/wish/1688250486 lsaldivar2 https://padlet.com/lsaldivar2/umdxa0r3hq9bnk2n/wish/1688257486 For this special day, they had planned a show we´re Michael would participate with his 4 other brothers, at first he wasn´t sure but they somehow convinced him. He wore a black suit and hat, with white socks and a white glove.]]> 2021-08-20 17:13:38 UTC https://padlet.com/lsaldivar2/umdxa0r3hq9bnk2n/wish/1688257486 lsaldivar2 https://padlet.com/lsaldivar2/umdxa0r3hq9bnk2n/wish/1688262195 That same night at the start of the beat from the song "Billie Jean", Michael threw his hat and started to moonwalk, his feet were going back but he was moving forward, it was a brilliant mix of street dance and much older dance moves. People couldn´t believe it; many thought it was a trick with the cameras. Soon everyone was talking about Michael Jackson´s moonwalk!]]> 2021-08-20 17:16:52 UTC https://padlet.com/lsaldivar2/umdxa0r3hq9bnk2n/wish/1688262195 lsaldivar2 https://padlet.com/lsaldivar2/umdxa0r3hq9bnk2n/wish/1688271120 Since things were not going as well for Michael´s brothers, they asked Michael if they could tour again, he would then agree and go touring with them. Pepsi-Cola were paying for the tour, and The Jacksons agreed to make two adverts for them. Sadly Michael was hurt during the filming of one of the adverts were his hair caught fire, he was on the front page of almost every new´s paper. Pepsi payed Michael for the disaster (he donated this money to the hospital). Finally the chapter ends with a retoric but true question What can you do to follow the most successful album in history?]]> 2021-08-20 17:22:59 UTC https://padlet.com/lsaldivar2/umdxa0r3hq9bnk2n/wish/1688271120
