Absolute FLAWLESS MASTERPIECE!! Best video ever made!!

Everyone always picks thriller as best video ever made it's a 10 as well but this video was brilliant it redefined music videos again!! The clothes, the filming, of course the dancing, the flawless lip synching, the Michael Jackson shoe invention, it's in a league of its own and NEVER will have an equal. His videos will forever be the best ever made. His pure genius will not be truly appreciated until decades later especially since no one will even come close to his perfection. Also he was an extremely Underrated singer, listen to his version of come together, the best by far!! Him and freddy mercury were the best ever.
