Michael Jackson - Billie Jean Motown 25 Live, March 25 1983

So...I realize that I am going to get inundated with emails or comments for posting this video but I realized that many of you may of never seen this.

The other night we were feeding MAC and I was showing Taunya some of the videos and music that I have downloaded and collected over the years. It was at that point that she mentioned she had "never" seen the "beat it" video from Michael Jackson. I was like "Huh?". So I showed it to her and she could not believe it.

In light of all of this guys scandals and issues, this performance was one that I watched live as a 10 year old kid. While watching this, I was completely floored and starstruck. I could not believe that anyone could dance and sing like he could. At that time, he was truly a superstar. If you have not seen this piece of music history, take the 5 minutes and watch it. It makes you wonder what really happened to the guy that seemed to have it together and so much going in his direction.

Some things to note. 47 million people watched this performance, he debuted "the moonwalk", this song alone has been sold over 5 million times.
