When you listen to Billie Jean what do you picture in your head?

[MJultimatemusiclegen]

I picture Billie Jean King playing tennis.

LOL are you quincy jones by any chance?

 

[Courtney]

I usually picture both the music video and the Motown 25 performance. haha.

 

[Severus Snape]

I imagine the story the lyrics tell unfolding as I listen to the song.

 

[hokukoroku]

either one, depending on what mood my imagination is in.

 

[Arklove]

I definitely picture it live....full out...on either Dangerous or HIStory tour...i picture his freestyling at the end as well...always SO epic !

I almost never picture the video...probably cuz it's my least fave video he's done...I love the dancing in it though, of course...

 

[wendijane]

shoes.

 

[smile4mj]

Most of the time is the video and Motown 25 performance.

 

[Upside]

Just like every other song I listen to, I picture what it looks like in waveform.

 

[N4ty]

i picture the Dangerous tour in Bucharest performance :in_love:

 

[Onlydreamer]

Whenever i listen to Billie Jean i would always picture Mike performing the song on stage with the black fedora hat, the one glove and the white socks with black shoes and black pants

You read my mind

 

[CaptainEoLove85]

I picture him performing it live on tour.

 

[Snow White luvs Peter Pan]

Live because The Motown 25th was the first live performance I'd ever saw. Not always is the same live performance.
I'll never be fed up watching Michael performing Billie Jean. :wild:

 

[AddictedtoMichael]

Uhm. It's different. Mostly I get the music video in my head, when he's walking and the floor is lighting up.

 

[maoul]

Michael was simply the perfect entertainer playing with his hat and dancing with the drums on stage... a must !

 

[spoonie]

Live for definite

 

[LLCz]

Just like every other song I listen to, I picture what it looks like in waveform.

This........

 

[mjultimatecollection]

Yeah, after seeing as many live videos as I have, the live performance is all I picture.

 

[MJ~And~Me]

i voted live

 

[MJsweden]

The This Is It Performance

 

[Ben]

For some reason, the first pic that pops up in my mind is Michael walking on those lighting tiles. I guess it impressed me too much when I first saw it back in the days when I was a kid... lol
My fav performance is Motown 25 though.

 

[#Cheater]

I just imagine Michael doing the crotch-grabbing on a live concert.

 

[Loni1082]

for me, i picture the video in my head with the glowing floor titles. amazing

 

[Galactus123]

Both video and live. Mostly live performances.

 

[FlyAway]

I picture his amazing brilliance in the live performances:

And then of course the crotch grab and thrusts... :angel:

 

[helena22]

not the Motown 25, not the video...

I picture him performing it live during the HIStory tour
almost everytime I listen to the song.
Also, I hear, in my head, the fierce ad-lib he did like, "You know you did",
"You make me wanna", etc. (Yall know what I'm talkin bout.)

Some of the iconic visuals related to the song, like, the fedora and the glove,
I hardly think of these things.
Whatever else he woulda worn, it'd still be all about the singing and dancing.

 

[SoCav]

Definitely Michael performing it live!

 

[starone_angel]

Michael performing it live

 

[Carotte]

I picture Michael performing it live...and its awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
The black hat, the glitter glove, the amazing choreography, the dance moves....so perfect, almost unreal

 

[Rudolf]

I imagine this unk: -
