Smooth Criminal carries the air of a Broadway musical. In this track, Michael acts as a narrator of a classic murder mystery illuminating his uncanny ability to tell a story and create drama. Equally great is the complimenting video from his short film, Moonwalker. While I love Michael’s musical artistry, I’m also a fan of his gift of thinking outside of the box through his visual genius. Influenced by the Fred Astaire movie, The Band Wagon, Smooth Criminal is a treat for anyone who loves the vaudeville feel of music entertainment. Check out both video clips and tell us what similarities you find. You may also see some influences used in Michael’s video, You Rock My World.
