"Watching Michael Jackson was like taking a history lesson and a lesson on the future at the same time. If that werenâ€™t enough, Michael then went and single-handedly revolutionized music videos. Itâ€™s amazing that today, some twenty-five years later, everyone who makes a pop music video still feels obligated to include a 'group dance' sequence like the one Michael pioneered in 'Beat It'. Thatâ€™s how influential and ahead of the times he was."
