The video is legendary. The first video that showed what a music video is all about. Walking on the floor and everything lights up, the freeze frame, the dancing such as the tip toe, his iconic look such as the Jheri Curl with the edges laid, hair slicked back and combed over with some curls hanging over his eye and the tuxedo with bow tie. Yep hes a visual artist. Definitely 10 video.

*Watching that video on MTV altered the way I viewed ‘desperation in a vulnerable situation.’ Moreover, Michael taught me that treachery in Love can involve innocent little ones.*
