Inspiration: Michael JacksonListThumbs
Inspiration: Michael Jackson
Inspiration: Michael Jackson??? Yes!!! Michael has been the king of pop for so long that we should get thrown out of the earth if we didn't mention him here at Abduzeedo at least once. Thriller has completed 25 years and Michael is about to turn 50 at the end of the week, so it's time to get some sweet inspiration from his work.
There are many things to learn from him, because a person does not get 'Michael Jackson Famous' during the night like that. There's got to be something. And there is. When Thriller was launched, people already knew Michael's talent... he was a true golden boy, known since his work in the Jackson 5. The little kid grew up and became something else. He would amaze everyone with his new ideas and concepts for music, when anyone was expecting it.
Thriller was trully different from everything else... its rhythm and beat was somewhat a revolution, and Michael would get an even more greater Star status. He influenced music videos and music itself hence he was the king of all of it.
Not of all his artwork is good, but we really got to mention some of it, like the 1992 album "Dangerous", a wonderful collage. I remember I was 8 years old and would stare at it and think who different it was and wonder how it was made.
Dangerous (1992)
And there are many things that Michael Jackson left us... good memories for sure! Like the Moonwalker game for the Sega Genesis. Boy, I loved that game!! And its cover design is pretty sweet.
Sega's Moonwalker
Moonwalker game clip. Sweeeet. :D
And of course, the Thriller song is pretty cool, but for me, its beat is not as huge as Billie Jean's. I mean... Michael DID the moonwalk dance for the first time during a Billie Jean performance. That's enough for me. There's no person in the world who never tried at least once to do the moonwalk. I'm still trying to own it. Even Fabio does it. Hahaha.
The friggin', mind blowin' Moonwalker Jedi.
And of course, the Moonwalker movie. It actually sucks, but the cover art is cool.
And at last, but not least, how not to mention the greatest videos in YouTube inspired in Michael's work, like the Philippines detention dance and Bollywood's Thriller? These are the ultimate proof that Michael has influenced full generations of people all around the world. And I'll finish this post telling you that Michael must be remembered for all the great moments he gave us during our childhood parties and during our attempts to dance like him (what was really fun to do). Long live the Jacko! Cheers! ;)
And it was only a 'practice'...
Chiranjeevi's Thriller.

After reading this post, you made me want to hang on my wall an old flag that I have with the Dangerous collage on it. Michael J. is and will be the best artist of all time.
as you can see in video game, michal has a „thing” with kids :d
I really like the collage dangerous collage.... for me it is the best of the lot.... and btw the last video it isnt bollywood it is from tollywood (yes we have regional divisions as well....lol) .. areally cheap imitation of MJ...but guess what it was a real good hit as well....hahah
I really liked how you called him the Moonwalker Jedi.
Great inspiration post. The Moonwalker cover looks awesome.
It should be added that the Dangerous artwork was done by the phenomenal painter Mark Ryden.
I too used to sit as a child and try to find every little figure while wondering how this is done. I'm glad i finally found out who did it after being a Mark Ryden fan for quite a while! Nice one! chris
great post! I totally forgot how great Michael was...
Benny Lava "interpretation" of Thriller is just too good!
awesome post!
when i saw the dangerous lp cover i also was remembered of my childhood, since dangerous was my first own cd!
Michael is wonderful. I hear the music till today. The new Album ist amazing. I hope ther will be an complete new album soon!!!
MJ is inspirational.
Love him!
I love Michael now and forever! The music, the hype. I just wanna give him a BIG kiss for his birthday.
A few days ago I found a couple of videos of MJ dancing and singing live in MSN Concerts and spent 2 hours just looking at those videos and remembering the old times.
Michael was awesome when I was 11 or 12. I had Dangerous in the original CD and a few more.
No one does the moonwalk as him.
Hahahah Benny Lava is fkn hilarious... and the inmates are awesome!
hello mr.paulo,
it's good to listen that you are a jackson fan, even me too. he is the king of pop. but the last post what you have put over there is not good. in the name of liberty you are suppose to hurt someone. i'm fan to that actor. his name is chiranjeevi. if you know his personality completely you will never try to do such things. it's really bad what you have done.
@mbi
I heard the song that Michael and his brothers sang as the Almighty Jackson Five called "Who's Loving You" on tv the other nite and almost died!! I am a 42 year old black female and I religiously played their songs growing up, it brought back so so many great memories--I had to dig and find the old albums to listen to them. Michael sang his little heart out on those love songs like... I Wanna Be Where You Are and I'll Be There--as well--he was absolutely awesome!! He was truly "blessed" and I thank him for me being able to enjoy those songs almost 40 years later--he was amazing--and there is none like him. I feel for him now as we don't know what he feels or what he has felt during the expansion of his life and career but I do know that he was 'truly' favored by God and I wish him peace and as I sit hear listening to him I still smile about that special little boy from Indiana singing his heart out-he was beautiful and I'll always remember breaking my neck to watch him on tv and their cartoon on Saturday mornings.
@mbi : I will only apologize for having his name mistaken... I thought he was Benny Lava. What else did I do wrong? Chill out dude.
A true legend, not just in the world of music, but outside it as well. He seems to have a connection with nearly all of the most famous people in the world, alive and dead.
Awesome artist.
Some of his hits are in the top 50 musics of my whole life.

I played Michael Jackson's Moonwalker game when I was a kid! It wasn't mine but I'd go over my neighbour's just to play it.
MJ = an icon.
He's dead! and what a loss it is!
Let us all pay homage to one of the icons in the history of pop music.
Though he's no more but his memories shall always remain attached to us through the masterpieces he created.
May you rest in peace M.J.
A true legend...
Dernier Moonwalk de La légende !
R.I.P
Rest in Peace....
