The song itself has a strong message. Michael sang about remaining strong even when the world is too disturbing, with lyrics about pressure and gossip. Though it may seem odd, “You’re a vegetable” in Michael’s hands turned into a chant about feeling used and remaining strong. His music had something to say; it reminded one that it wasn’t merely for enjoyment.
Just as “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin'” revealed his enthusiasm, “Smooth Criminal” revealed his talent. Dancing throughout a 1930s-style club with smooth steps and soft assurance, Michael wears a stunning white coat and hat in this short clip. He added something fresh to the music video scene with fast steps, lean-back acrobatics, and sharp spins. Though the song conveys a narrative of mystery, the dance truly amazes you.
