Michael Jackson videography

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 had seven of his solo albums promoted with music videos, or as he would refer them as "short films". Some of his short films drew criticism for their violent and sexual elements; others were lauded by critics and awarded Guinness World Records for their length, success and expense.[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][5] 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 and into an art form—helped bring the relatively new channel to fame; MTV's focus shifted in favor of pop and R&B from channel's original 'rock 'n' roll only' format.[5][6][7] Michael Jackson's Thriller short film marked an increase in scale for music videos, and has been named the most successful music video ever by the Guinness World Records.[8][9] In the 19-minute music video for "Bad"—directed by Martin Scorsese—Jackson began utilizing dance moves first learned as a kid into the big stage, innovating the dance scene as a whole. [10] For the "Smooth Criminal" video, Jackson experimented with an anti-gravity lean where the performer leans forward at a 45 degree angle, beyond the performer's center of gravity.[11] Although the music video for "Leave Me Alone" was not officially released in the US, in 1989 it won a Golden Lion Award for the quality of the special effects used in its production. In 1990, "Leave Me Alone" won a Grammy for Best Music Video, Short Form.[12] He received the MTV Video Vanguard Award in 1988 and the MTV Video Vanguard Artist of the Decade Award in 1990; in 1991 the former was renamed as Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award in his honor.[13]

"Black or White" was released on November 14, 1991.[14] Along with Jackson, it featured Macaulay Culkin, Peggy Lipton, and George Wendt. It helped usher in morphing as an important technology in music videos.[15] "Remember the Time" was an elaborate production, set in ancient Egypt, it features appearances by Eddie Murphy, Iman, and Magic Johnson, along with a distinct complex dance routine.[16] The video for "In the Closet" featured supermodel Naomi Campbell in a courtship dance with Jackson.[13] 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 gained eleven MTV Video Music Award Nominations—more than any other music video.[17] A year later, it won a Grammy for Best Music Video, Short Form; shortly afterwards Guinness World Records listed it as the most expensive music video ever made, at a cost of $7 million.[18][19] "Earth Song" was accompanied by an expensive and well-received music video. The video had an environmental theme, 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.[18][20] Released in 1997 and premiering at the 1996 Cannes Film Festival, "Michael Jackson's Ghosts[21]" was a short film written by Jackson and Stephen King and directed by Stan Winston. 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 was released in 2001. The video features appearances from Chris Tucker and Marlon Brando.[22] The video won an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Music Video at the award show's 2002 ceremony.[23]

In 1978, Jackson appeared in his first film, The Wiz.[24] It was nominated for four awards at the 51st Academy Awards.[25][26][27] Jackson later starred in films such as Disney's Captain EO in 1986, the anthology film Moonwalker in 1988 and the posthumous documentary This Is It in 2009.[28][29][30]

Title Year Other performer(s) credited Director(s) Description
"Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" 1979 None Nick Saxton It was Jackson's first music video as a solo artist. The music video shows a smiling Jackson dancing and singing "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" in a black and white tuxedo with a black bow tie while appearing chroma keyed over a background of abstract geometric figures. At one stage, Jackson is seen dancing in triplicate, which was considered innovative at the time.[31][32][33]
"Rock with You" None Bruce Gowers The video featured Jackson in a sparkly sequined suit singing the song with a bright laser behind him. It was filmed on a stage in Los Angeles called the 800 Stage.[31][34]
"She's Out of My Life" 1980 None Bruce Gowers The music video for the song featured Jackson sitting on a stool in a darkened room singing the song, lit by a single spotlight. The video uses a split screen technique to simultaneously show Jackson from two different angles during the second and third verses.[31][35]
"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, into 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.[31][36][37]
"Beat It" None Bob Giraldi The music video for "Beat It" helped establish Jackson as an international pop icon and cost Jackson $150,000 to create after CBS refused to finance it. The video was filmed on Los Angeles' Skid Row—mainly on locations on East 5th Street.[31][38][39][40]
"Say Say Say" Paul McCartney Bob Giraldi In the short film, the duo play "Mac and Jack", a pair of conmen who sell a "miracle potion". The video was filmed at Los Alamos near Santa Barbara, California and the video cost $500,000 to produce. Cameo appearances in the video are made by McCartney's then wife Linda, as well as Jackson's older sister La Toya.[41][42][43][44]
"Thriller" None John Landis This music video became one of Jackson's most successful and was filmed at the Palace Theatre in downtown Los Angeles. Ola Ray co-starred in the short film as Jackson's love interest. The zombie dance in the video remains a halloween favorite today.[31][45]
"We Are the World" 1985 USA for Africa Tom Trbovich The song for the music video was created as a charity single recorded by the supergroup United Support of Artists (USA) for Africa.[46][47]
"Bad" 1987 None Martin Scorsese The video is an 18-minute short film written by novelist and screenwriter Richard Price. In the video, Jackson portrays a teenager named Darryl, who has just completed a term at an expensive private school. He returns home where he is greeted by old friends, including gang leader, Mini Max played by Wesley Snipes. Darryl takes the gang to the subway station in an attempt to show his friends he is still "bad" by robbing an elderly man. He has a change of heart at the last minute and Mini Max chastises him, telling Darryl he's no longer bad. The camera pans away only to return to Darryl surrounded by less menacing gang members where they all then break out in song and dance as Darryl's new way of proving "who's bad.".[31][48][49]
"The Way You Make Me Feel" None Joe Pytka The short version of the video is six minutes and thirty-four seconds long and the full version is nine minutes and thirty-three seconds in length. The video begins with a group of men attempting to get the attention of women. Jackson's character appeared to stand apart from the group in his approach to get 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 a warm embrace of the two characters. Joe Seneca and Sean Cheesman have roles in the video.[50][51]
"Man in the Mirror" 1988 None Donald Wilson This video differs from Jackson's other videos mainly because Jackson himself does not appear in the video, aside from a brief clip toward the end of the video in which he can be seen donning a red jacket and standing in a large crowd. It also features a montage of clips of children in Africa, Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, kids in graduation, and other historical figures.[31][52][53]
"Dirty Diana" None Joe Pytka The five-minute music video for the song was directed by Joe Pytka. The woman who appears in the video is model Lisa Dean. A second seven-minute long accompanying video of a live performance (which should not be confused with the actual music video) was filmed in early 1988 in front of a live audience during Jackson's show in Madison Square Garden.[54]
"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 which Jackson co-patented was built into the floor of the stage and the performers' shoes, thereby allowing performers to lean without needing to keep their centers of mass directly over their feet.[31][55]
"Speed Demon" None Jerry Kramer

"Remember the Time" 1992 None John Singleton It was a nine-minute video directed by John Singleton and promoted as a "short film." Choreographed by Fatima Robinson, the video clocked in as one of Jackson's longest. It was set in ancient Egypt and featured with what has been described as "elaborate special effects" and appearances by Eddie Murphy, Iman, The Pharcyde, Magic Johnson, Tom "Tiny" Lister, Jr. and Wylie Draper. The video also featured Jackson's first on-screen kiss.[31][64][65][66]

"Stark Raving Dad" was the first episode in the third season of The Simpsons. Jackson performed the speaking voice of Leon Kompowsky under the pseudonym John Jay Smith.[140] The producers of the show were legally prevented from confirming that Jackson guest-starred at the time, although many media sources assumed it was really him. The episode was written specifically for Jackson, a fan of the show, who had called Matt Groening, the creator of the show, one night and offered to do a guest spot.[141] The offer was accepted and a script was written by Al Jean and Mike Reiss, based on an idea pitched by James L. Brooks.[142] Groening and co-executive producer Sam Simon also contributed significantly to the writing of the episode.[142] In 2017, archival recordings of Jackson were in the TV special Michael Jackson's Halloween.[143][144][145][146]
