Introduction to "Heal The World"
Created in 1991, Heal The World was created to cooperate with Jackson's own charity organization of the same name. Heal the World is a song calling for world peace. It is very excellent. The lyrics advocate people to protect and cherish our environment, keep war away, and have world peace. There is a place in our hearts, and that is love. Let us create a world without war, without wasteland, full of vitality, and full of warmth and care. , so that children can laugh freely and make the world full of love.
This is an excellent work about children, the earth, and love. The lyrics and music were all written by Michael Jackson. At the beginning of the song, there are children's laughter and crying... This may allow us to realize the value and importance of innocence from the song. Michael Jackson sang from the heart. If you listen carefully, you can understand the emotions expressed in the songs. Michael Jackson's singing voice is a bit like a female voice, but this is the uniqueness of his singing skills. His voice seemed to come from another space, pure and full of innocence. In this way, he used this pure song to cleanse every heart and discover the kindness in people's hearts. After listening to "Heal the world", you may feel that you are surrounded by loving people and that the task of improving the world is important. I think only if there is no war in the world, children will be happy and the earth will be beautiful.
This song can be regarded as an old song, but it gives people a lot of feelings and leaves people with a lot of thoughts...

"Black Or White" is about racial issues, but it is Not in a serious and dull way. The song has a brisk tempo, and at least in the song itself, Michael doesn't express extreme indignation about the inequality - although he still mentions these facts, he completely ignores them, claiming "I said if you're think of my baby / It doesn't matter if you're black or white". Michael also tried to invite a rapper to add color to his song for the first time. L. T. B. provided a rap in "Black Or White", which also inevitably criticized the darkness in society and elaborated on his own Attitude - "I am not going to spend my life being a color" (I am not going to spend my life being a color). In addition, the piece has an unrelated opening overture, in which a little melodrama between son and father entertains the public, which also adds a lighter tone (and may also be a disdain for racism). Of course, the overture is probably designed for Slash, who has a Rolling Stones-style improvisation in the song. Overall, "Black Or White" is a rare and excellent song.
Song: Billie Jean

Release date: 1982
As Michael Jackson's most outstanding and important representative work, "Billie Jean" is a milestone in music history. Just looking at the numbers, it stayed at number one on the US singles chart for seven weeks, and topped the UK singles chart at the same time during one of those weeks, becoming his first UK and US double number one. It also stayed at the top of the US R&B charts for nine weeks, sold 1 million single records, and won Michael the Grammy Award for "Best Rhythm and Blues Vocalist".
It was also ranked No. 5 on "The 100 Greatest Pop Songs of All Time" and No. 58 on "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time" by Rolling Stone magazine, and ranked among "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time" by Blender Magazine. Great Song” No. 1! It is said that when Michael was composing this song, he was so intoxicated with a melody that lingered in his mind on the highway in Los Angeles that he did not realize that the chassis of his luxury car started to smoke. The song is about a frightened parent-child relationship, stemming from his experiences with delusional female fans. Michael Jackson's previous solo works were all luxurious disco, but "Billie Jean" is eerie, with pulsating bass, whip-like heavy beats, and weird multi-track singing, all on the keyboard. Jumping in the gaps between vocals and strings, it feels like rhythmically "Billie Jean" is actually a five-minute breakdown. The heartbeat-like pounding of the drums opens the mysterious prelude to the song, accompanied by a floating and gasping sound effect, and filled with a rich R&B feel. The heavy funk drums can no longer cover up the poignant music at the beginning of the second verse. melody. Michael's own creation makes "Billie Jean" such a fascinating psychological drama. Few songs can convey so much psychological material: paranoia, delusion, fear, temptation and shame, which are mixed in the lyrics. hovering between outright denial—"She said I am the one/But the kid is not my son"—and superficial admissions—"This happened much too soon / She called me to her room" (This happened too quickly / She called me to her room). In the end, Michael's voice drifted away while repeatedly chanting "Billie Jean is not my lover", leaving us never knowing the ending of this sad story. Regardless of whether it has greater autobiographical or historical significance, "Billie Jean" is ultimately a dance song, and countless radio or MTV airplays have done nothing to diminish the song's power to rock the speakers. "Billie Jean" is a hit on every level. It has a killer beat, sound effects, melody, lyrics, performance, and it affects you physically, emotionally, and even spiritually.

"stranger in Moscow" Michael Jackson In a Russian hotel, listening to the warm cheers of countless fans downstairs, I felt extremely lonely inside, so I immediately composed this song. It tells the story of the life troubles, pressure and helplessness of individuals in American society at that time. A man fell into poverty due to unemployment. A beggar, his downfall, a high-level person who is about to face the helplessness of unemployment, a woman sitting in a coffee shop, suffering from the pressure of work and powerless (maybe she is waiting for someone), a woman unable to communicate with others The boys who played baseball together like children, and the loneliness of a husband who lost his wife, each of them faced the cruelest reality in the society at that time and in the real society. They felt unfair, so in the end the song reached a climax, and the sadness, dissatisfaction and anger in their hearts all burst out in the rain! It makes people happy. The last shower made people feel refreshed. The heavy rain washed away the world and their hearts. They long to wash away their worries and sorrows.

< p>"Man In The Mirror" This is another effort by Michael to awaken the world's awareness of concern for unfortunate people. Many of the shots in Man In The Mirror, a charity music video, are of African people who have suffered from wars and racial conflicts (many of which feature African children). This is an MTV full of caring, which makes people feel heartbroken after watching it. Broken, this MV is very meaningful. It records the celebrities who once maintained peace and fought for the rights and status of disadvantaged groups living at the bottom of society. Among them, Martin Luther King, Gandhi and Mother Teresa all appeared, just like the lyrics call for If you want (World A Better Place) the world is better) (Take A Look At Yourself And) (Then Make A Change Then make a change) It is said that MJ’s music focuses on children, mankind, and the earth.

Artist of "Ghosts" : michael jackson (Michael Jackson)
Introduction: "Ghosts", "Too bad" and "Is it scary" are not a group of songs in themselves, and neither one of them is absolutely attractive when listened to alone. MJ is the world The savviest person in the world who knows how to promote best, he shot a great rhapsodic music video in 1996, a total of 35 minutes long. Adapted from an original concept by Michael Jackson and the king of horror novels, Stephen King. Jackson plays five roles in the film. The director is Hollywood special effects master Stan Winston. This was the longest music video at the time, and (recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records) the background music was the above three songs. Against the background of MJ's explosive dance, the three songs were expressed vividly and played a great role. Pretty good publicity effect. (These three songs have always been my favorite songs). "Too bad" was originally intended to express a kind of regret. In the MV, it can be said that it is regret for not intimidating the mayor. However, the song also contains a bit of condemnation. When the mayor said to Maestro: "I I don’t like you.” The hostility between the two was completely reflected in Maistro’s eyes, and the condemnation was unmistakable. As for the song "Is it scary?", I have always wondered whether it was specially created for the MV, or whether the MV was inspired by this song. In short, the theme of the entire MV is "scary", and the lines It also appears many times in the video that Maestro asked with a sly smile: "Is it scary?" The classic clip of the MV: the background music of Maestro turning into a skeleton and dancing is this song, and the screams of the ghosts make the song The whole scene looks weird and crazy. As far as this song is concerned, the creation is quite outstanding. The feeling of listening to this song alone in a dark and extremely silent place can be said to be immersive, which is great. MJ and the actors are also unorganized. The dance is very shocking. The song "Ghosts" can be said to be a complete rhapsody, telling a completely different world. The accompaniment seems to be mixed with the sound of smashing glass products, which makes people think of the stiff bodies of zombies. The music and theme are perfectly combined. MJ once again shocked the world by using the method of making MVs to promote songs.
Speaking of another meaning of the MV, I can’t help but feel desolate. MJ is the artist who best expresses himself through art. This MV seems to be a comedy, but it reflects the tragedy of MJ’s life. Let’s first look at Maistro’s living environment in the film: a lonely villa. It shows that Maistro is a lonely person. In reality, MJ is also a lonely person. He once told the media: "I am the loneliest person on the planet. There are many girls trying to help me get rid of loneliness, but they all failed." His year-end friend Elizabeth Taylor's words perfectly explain MJ's loneliness: "If he seems so out of tune with this world, it can only be said that he has exceeded the limit of what people can do." The townspeople also have ulterior motives in their arrangements. In terms of race, there are blacks, whites, and Latinos (unfortunately, there are no Asians). In terms of age, there are children, teenagers, adults, and the elderly. The composition of the townspeople can be said to be the epitome of MJ’s fan community—— His fans are of all races and ages. The first scene in the MV is a group of people walking towards Maistro's house holding torches, which is obviously the equipment of explorers. Lenovo to reality, when MJ did not appear in the music scene. People around the world are still in a state of experimentation and exploration when it comes to music. Just like the townspeople in the original MV, they knew nothing about Maistro's "trick". When the townspeople first came into contact with Maestra, they were still a little scared. They had never heard such music or seen such dance. Everything was too sudden! However, soon, they were attracted by the music and dance, and their bodies couldn't help but sway, especially the children, whose eyes flashed with the light of discovering the truth. Isn't MJ in life very popular with children? Think about it, when we first accepted MJ's music, we must have been a little uncomfortable because it was so special, but gradually we got stuck in it and couldn't extricate ourselves. Therefore, the expression of the changes in the expressions of the townspeople in the MV is the process of people accepting MJ's music.
I have to say that the mayor is the most hated character in the MV. This character is played by MJ. The makeup process is quite complicated. The prototype of this character should be MJ's song "D.S. "That damn prosecutor Tom Sneddon sang about."
The MV was shot in 1996. The first child molestation scandal was in 1993, which means that it was filmed just when the child molestation scandal subsided. In addition, it was included in his 1995 album "History: past, present and future book1" "D.S." was undoubtedly the best time to shoot. Because Tom Sneddon is an official, he was given the position of mayor in the MV. The mayor had trouble with Maestro from the beginning, and insulted him in every possible way, and used the excuse of "scaring the children" to cover himself. He is as ugly as Tom, but he has the same virtue as Tom. However, Maestro's behavior shows that he likes children very much and often performs magic tricks for them, just like MJ in life. When seeing the mayor's various difficult behaviors, many viewers wondered, why did Maistro just scare him instead of giving him some color? This reflects the beauty of Maistro's humanity. Maistro always likes to do tricks, which shows that he is very childish. This reminds us that MJ likes dolls and other things. His mental age is less than five years old. . Just imagine, how could a five-year-old child hurt others? What's more, MJ doesn't want the children to see him hurting others, so as a prototype based on MJ, Maistro has no reason to hurt the mayor. There is a lot of ridicule of the mayor in the MV, such as the dancing part. Isn’t it ridiculous that the beautiful dance is placed on a fat body? MJ finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Another very attractive feature in the MV is the ghosts of different shapes. In fact, these ghosts are not just ordinary characters. Maistro calls them "family", which reflects that MJ is living a life like a rotting corpse, which is really heart-wrenching. However, there is a scene: the ghosts are walking upside down on the ceiling, slowing down with the music. In the melodious hymn, Maistro opens his arms. The ghosts no longer dance, but stand upright and float in the air, falling slowly. , the previous hilarious scene disappeared, but suddenly became sacred. People's eyes widened and they were moved by the scene in front of them. When I saw this, I couldn't help crying. This clip tells us that even though MJ's life was not good, he was still able to reach a noble realm that transcended everything. This is why he can create works that move people around the world.
When Maistro came out of the mayor's body, he asked everyone if they wanted to drive him away. The mayor said loudly: "Yes, yes." Seeing that there were still people who wanted him to leave, Maistro's heart was bleeding. He knelt on his knees and smashed himself into powder, letting the wind blow away. In fact, in the later period, MJ could be said to have acted in a self-destructive manner. He did not want to go to the outside world, but imprisoned himself at home and did not seek happiness. This MV can be said to be a prophecy. The townspeople were very sad when they saw Maestro disappear. They had been attracted by Maestra's art, so it can be seen from their longing eyes: they hope that Maestro will be resurrected. Isn't the mentality of the townspeople exactly the same as ours? How are fans feeling now? However, the ending is good, Maistro is resurrected, and the mayor is missing. I hope this part of the prophecy is true.
"Ghosts" is indeed a great music video. Its greatness lies not only in its excellent music and dance, but in its connotation.

The fifth single of the "Bad" album, "Dirty Diana," also brought the album its fifth number one single. This is an unprecedented record that no one can break so far! "Dirty Diana" is not the most popular among Michael Jackson's songs, but it can certainly be regarded as a masterpiece of rock music. This is the best, purest and most consistent rock song that is in line with the nature and conscience of rock music. It combines the noise and violence of rock music. Taken to the extreme. This song also greatly conveys Michael's inner emotions, expressing his helplessness and disgust towards women who try to use stars to gain fame and fortune. In the song, Michael kept shouting "Dirty Diana / Let me be" with his crackling voice, conveying the scene of temptation and struggle. The same plot of beauty and fraud, this time Michael did not step into the darkness of "Billie Jean" again, he was able to face it calmly. In addition, the complex string arrangement and Steve Stevens' friendly guitar playing create the dreamlike and gorgeous melody of "Dirty Diana".
