Michael Jackson Tribute

Posted by admin Published in social media

Really off topic to my normal blog posts but its one of those things that has had a really impact on my life so thought i’d make an exception.

Michael Jackson was an amazing musician and performer (i know a lot of people are discussing the other things but that is not what i will remember). To get the post on topic to the site I’m going to try to use his music videos as an example of how people should understand social media. MJ made the most amazing music videos i’ve ever seen and i can think of anyone else that has done anything like it. Like social media the videos don’t need to be so epic or long, most music videos show a song and end, his last 10 mins and had more special effects than most action films.

Why is this relevant to social media? – Well you could be basic and simple and get your point across but will that make people want to share it? It maybe difficult to justify the costs but i’m certainly going to watch Michael Jackson music videos for years to come and he hasn’t made one for a decade! Don’t know any other musician i can say that about! Think of that in social media terms and you get the idea of the impact!

Anyway back to my MJ tribute – I’ve made my own Spotify playlist -

and here are a few of my favourite videos – Ghost has to be my favourite – even if it is a bit of a Thriller ripe off. I remember watching it when it first came out and being blown away! Enjoy
