Jackson Five, stepped out of his father's shadow to become the solo artist thatwould define what it means to be a pop star. OtF THt WALL, Michael Jackson3

first solo album, introduced the world to the shiny suits and bright white socks

that would become MJ's first calling cards. But it wasn't until twenty frve y€ars

ago, with the release 0f a little a lbum called THRIILER, that Michael Jackson reallybecame "Michael Jackson.'Somehow, no other wannabe pop star before MichaelJackson understood how t0 harness the power ofTV. Before Mkhael, musicvideoswere just (heap promo lapes that showed a band playing a song, and maybedancing around a little bit. Well, MJ would have none ofthat. He refused to evenmake musicvideos, and instead aeated whatarestill refened to as shortfilms. He

wove entire stories around his pop songs, and the w0rld was transfrxed. Twentyfrve years later, IHRILLER is still the number one video on almost every list, and

the cultis onlygrowing. Because in the middle ofthelHRlllERvideo,som€thing magi(al happens - Michael and his date aresunounded byzombies, and all ofa suddenMichael gets zombified as well. He isnt bitten or attackedand seemi tolust be(ome undead bythe proximity 0fthe others, butthen wenoti(e sgmething - he! theirleader! Mkhael Jackson can control these walking corpses! But more than that - he (an make them danre. And n0tjust dan(e, but D-A-N-(t. And twenty frve years later,that IHRILLER dance is still burning up the entire gl0be.
