You knock me off my feet baby!

The one person who I can think of when the words pop icon are brought up is Michael Jackson. I have so many memories of him and the videos that would come on MTV. "Thriller"-I was always so afraid to watch because I thought it was like watching a scary movie. "Billy Jean" and "Beat It"-I loved to sing a long with. "ABC"-how can not sing along to and then have that song stuck in your head all day long. Does anyone remember the movie, The Jacksons: An American Dream, and how sad you felt watching how badly abused that family was by their father? I remember watching "The Way You Make Me Feel" video and totally wanting to be the actress in that video and get snapped at by Michael Jackson....I think that is when I actually thought Michael Jackson was super sexy, or maybe I was old enough by that point to feel that way. "The Man in the Mirror" was an insanely sad video but still gave hope of the world coming together such as with the story of Baby Jessica which has a small clip in the video. Oh gosh then I think of "Bad" and how dangerous and sexy Michael looked in that video. I hear the beat of that song as I type this. Then there was "Smooth Criminal" and the video to me was like an incredibly good movie! It is like all of his music videos defined what MTV was all about. He is an icon for creating memorable moments and changing the way our culture reacts and adapts to new styles. He continued to do this with songs and videos such as "Black and White", "Remember the Time", and "In the Closet" (helloooo Naomi and Michael!!). So upon reflecting about MJ, I guess I would have to say that my favorite video of his was definitely "The Way You Make Me Feel".
