Is The best Michael Jackson Costume – Thriller?
With the ever increasing popularity of Michael Jackson many are wondering where it will stop? Dead Superstars are a great source of speculation and iconic reverence. Isn’t it amazing that sometimes you have to die to make it to the even bigger super-stardom? I mean he was an enigma while alive and responsible for a litany of great music. The Jackson Five were (and still are) an awesome group such phat and funky music that has and continues to transcend time and fashion. Then the whole 1980’s Jackson stuff was iconic and sooo popular that looking back now it seems unreal the amount of singles each release sold, something that today’s pop-stars would kill for in this world of electronic download and mp3’s. That phase of changing his appearance and the court case were a slow time for his music but some releases were amazing – others .. well maybe not quite as popular.
So as his music has changed so has his stage costume, this time of year many are getting a tribute costume together for the Halloween night extravaganza. There is only one Michael Jackson outfit for me and that is the Thriller Fancy Dress Costume that he wore in that, at the time, totally new and awesome video. We take the whole pop video with a pinch of salt these days but when Thriller was released and, in the uk, only shown after 12 midnight, it was a talking point for months. If there had been a twitter back then then it would have had ALL the traffic for a week and most for the next 3 months, there was just nothing like it at the time.
So there it is if anyone disagrees please leave comment, but there is only one Michael Jackson costume and that is the red and black one from the thriller video, coupled with a wet look curly black hair-do add some friends as zombies and learn some zombie dance steps and there will be no one to top you at your chosen party.
