Pues el Rey del Pop muere y todo el mundo habla de eso como si se hubiesen caido de nuevo las Torres Gemelas. Es verdad, uno se aburre de tanto hablar del temita, pero en verdad Jacko rompió records más alla de las ventas del disco.

En el campo de sus videos musicales hizo cosas increibles. Uno de los videos más caros del mundo, usó directores de los TOPS TOPS... bueno, mejor leanlo de aqui mismo. Practiquen su ingles.

Music videos

Jackson's short films became as influential as his music. His Off the Wall era videos were enhanced through the use of split screen effects and Jackson's own enthusiastic lip syncing. Jackson's dancing was not overtly sexual, compared with his later works, but was reinforced through the use of sexually suggestive lyrics.

The videos from Thriller are considered the most important of Jackson's career, aiding the album's record breaking sales. "Billie Jean" brought MTV, a relatively unknown music channel, to mainstream attention. When Walter Yetnikoff, the president of Jackson's record label, CBS, approached MTV to play the "Billie Jean" video, they initially refused; they felt black music wasn't "rock" enough. Yetnikoff became enraged with the refusal, and threatened to go public with MTV's stance on black musicians. "I said to MTV, ‘I’m pulling everything we have off the air, all our product. I’m not going to give you any more videos. And I’m going to go public and fucking tell them about the fact you don’t want to play music by a black guy.’" MTV relented and played the "Billie Jean" video in heavy rotation, as well as the music of other black artists.

The short film earned Jackson numerous awards and has been lauded by pop stars, video directors, agents and journalists.[8][9] The music video of "Beat It" showcased two gangs coming together through dance and, along with Thriller, became famous for its use of mass choreography. Thriller introduced the use of female counterparts to short films, and was extremely expensive to make. The film showcased the potential of music videos to be both short films and major media events.

Bad introduced more innovative videos, which included the use of animation ("Leave Me Alone") and claymation ("Speed Demon"). Videos released in this period also continued the usage of group choreography ("Bad", directed by Martin Scorcese, and "Smooth Criminal") and a female love interest ("The Way You Make Me Feel"). Jackson's video making continued throughout the 1990s, although some films drew controversy. "Black or White" was accompanied by a controversial music video, which, on November 14, 1991, simultaneously premiered in 27 countries with an estimated audience of 500 million people, the largest viewing ever for a music video. It featured scenes of violence and sexualized dancing. Jackson apologized for the offending scenes in the final half of the 14-minute version, which were edited out to prevent the video from being banned. Along with Jackson, it featured Macaulay Culkin, Peggy Lipton and George Wendt. It helped usher in morphing as an important technology in music videos.

The short films from Jackson's HIStory: Past, Present and Future album also generated controversy; the prison version of "They Don't Care About Us" was considered too violent, and was later replaced with a music video set in Brazil. Both versions of the short film were directed by Spike Lee. Rupert Wainwright directed the "HIStory Teaser", a promotional trailer for Jackson's HIStory album. The teaser, filmed in Hungary, showed Jackson marching with soldiers dressed in red. When compared with Leni Riefenstahl's propaganda film, Triumph of the Will, Jackson refuted the claim. The singer argued, "It's not political. It's not fascist. It's pure, simple love."

Jackson's short films have been recognised by the The Guinness Book of World Records. 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 received 11 MTV Video Music Award Nominations—more than any other music video—and won "Best Dance Video", "Best Choreography", and "Best Art Direction". The song and its accompanying video are a response to the backlash Jackson received from the media after being accused of child sexual abuse in 1993.

Foden commented "Mark had written the treatment and the general idea was that Michael and Janet were on this large spacecraft. And they, were alone ... They were getting away from Earth, and the different sets were the different environments on the spacecraft where they could have a little bit of fun and where they could relax".

Foden described the assignment as a "military operation" as he explained "[t]he idea was to give each of the art directors three sets: a complicated one, a not-so-complicated one, and one of the smaller, easier vignettes."[16] A year later, it won a Grammy for Best Music Video, Short Form; shortly afterward Guinness World Records listed it as the most expensive music video ever made at a cost of $7 million. Ghosts was named the longest music video ever by the record book, while Thriller later collected a world record for being the most successful music video of all time.
