Stranger in Moscow

Let's be honest. My feelings about Michael Jackson are not exactly a secret. While I usually deny his existence after about 1987 (Smooth Criminal), this music video, and the 1995 MTV Music Videos Awards performance are acceptable. 

Despite his Ferra Fawcett hair and being at just about the peak of his womanliness, this is a BEAUTIFUL video. The cinematography is breathtaking, and I think the vocals are really just hauntingly beautiful. 




What do you think? Are you able to get past the creepiness and appreciate this as a musical and cinematic masterpiece? Or does the feathering just get to you too much?

I agree with your comments on this video. It was beautiful. Basically, I don't think I've ever seen a pigeon look more gorgeous and graceful. It is haunting. BTW, I think Michael looks very similar to the woman who sits at the cafe. :)
