FABTV: Michael Jackson (Naomi Cameo) "In the Closet"

July 5, 2009

My Michael Jackson tribute continues with a long, yet thoroughly entertaining, video consisting of MJ, Naomi, sepia tones, and lots of gyrating. Don't get me wrong — Naomi is pretty smokin', but her hips really help tell this story. Also, don't her little white cap sleeve crop top and white skirt look very Alaia? As one of the model diva's known favorites, it's very possible. My favorite MJ dance sequence is at 3:53 — The Sprinkler! — pretty sure Michael created that move. It's worth studying this video to see Michael and Naomi's synchronized pelvic thrust, too. Don't say I didn't warn you . . .

I clearly remember being a little girl watching this for the first time when this premiered on prime time TV (remember that?) thinking this was the hottest video EVER. Still holds up beautifully...

The Phil Donahue bit Asche is I think an editing error from the Dangerous DVD as the following section is about Ryan White and Gone Too Soon. As to the dance sequence, it has always been one of my favourite Michael dance sequences. It is hot, but above that it is pure genius. The sepia toning helps create a feel, but the use of shadows and silhouettes is dynamic, especially in this setting. Michael makes use of silhouettes in a few of hs videos, but I think this is perhaps the very best. Awesome.

A) This video makes me uncomfortable. Something about watching Naomi Campbell and Michael Jackson grinding with each other seems so unnatural.B) What is the Phil Donahue thing at the end???
