Forget about the short film, the dance and the iconic red jacket, and just focus on Thriller as a song only. What are your thoughts on it? The general public will say that's one of his best (if not his best) songs ever. Whenever someone mentions Michael, someone usually starts singing ''Thriiiiiiilllllerrr'' while doing part of the dance.
But when I take away all the hype that surrounds the song (The short film, the dance, and the red jacket) I don't think the song is one of his best. For me, it wouldn't make it into my top 40 favourite MJ songs, and I actually think it's the weakest song from the Thriller album. Yes, even more so than The Girl Is Mine (But that's just my opinion). That's not to say I don't like the song. I still enjoy it, but I sometimes think that the hype that surrounds the song is more popular than the song itself.
