Micheal Jackson- Billie Jean

Billie Jean Genre Characteristics “Billie Jean” seems to be a Pop/R&B styled music video and so seems to follow those characteristics but with a large basis on a narrative and having a dose of showmanship mixed in along with Jackson's own flair.

Billy Jean defiantly has with its continuous beat throughout and the tempo.
