Billie Jean is a dance-pop R&B song by American recording artist Michael Jackson. It was written by Jackson and produced by Quincy Jones for the singers sixth solo album, Thriller (1982). Originally disliked by Jones, the track was almost removed from the album after he and Jackson had a disagreement. The songs lyrics refer to a real-life experience, in which a mentally insane female fan claimed that Jackson fathered one of her twins. The song is well known for its distinctive bass line and Jacksons vocal hiccups. The song was mixed 91 times by Bruce Swedien before it was finalized. Honoured numerous times—including two Grammy Awards, one American Music Award and an induction into the Music Video Producers Hall of Fame—the song and corresponding music video propelled Thriller into the best-selling album of all time. The song was promoted with a short film that broke down MTVs racial barrier as the first video by a black artist to be aired by the channel, and an Emmy-nominated performance on Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever, in which Jackson premiered the moonwalk. The song was also promoted through Jacksons Pepsi commercials; during the filming of one commercial, Jacksons scalp was severely burned. Covered and sampled by modern artists, including Chris Cornell, Billie Jean sealed Jacksons status as an international pop icon. On March 25, 1983, Jackson performed Billie Jean to critical and popular acclaim. Staged at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium, Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever was a celebration of Motown Records twenty-fifth anniversary. Organised by Suzanne De Passe, the event was to feature all the previous Motown acts. The Motown stars were to reunite for one evening, paying tribute to Berry Gordy and acknowledging his effect on their lives. Jackson initially refused the invitation, stating that he did not want to perform live, or perform with his brothers again. Jackson reconsidered after a personal visit from Gordy, whom the singer had a great respect for. Jackson would perform on the condition that he have a solo spot. Gordy agreed and it was decided that the singer would perform Billie Jean.

This Motown 25 performance was when little boy Michael Jackson, lead singer of The Jackson 5 became ***MICHAEL JACKSON ***WORLD SUPERSTAR!!!

Fun Fact: MJ had said that the only thing that really bothered him about this performance was when he moonwalked, spun, and was SUPPOSED to stay frozen on his tip toes for a few seconds (3:43). MJ said for some reason he couldn't hold the pose like he wanted. It was a cool move that he would master very smoothly later on.
