Michael influenced by.....?

[MJMThriller]

We all know Michael is one of the most influencial people in the world but does anybody know of any videos and performances that have influenced Michael's own performances/short films?

I seen these two videos on YouTube and you can see what MJ has taken from them to make his own. I'd never seen them until today!

He's also influenced by Diana Ross, Little Richard, music wise he's also influenced by Marvin Gaye (especially when it comes to singing in falsetto and using multi-layered vocals) and Jackie Wilson.
