'Okay, for instance, when creating the song Billie Jean.. I was riding in my car and it started with the bass lick again.. which goes - Michael beatboxt intro van BJ - and on top of that, I hear the chords - tuut, tuuut, tuut, tuuut
![]()
- then the melody - Michael zingt 'She was more like a beauty queen, from a movie scene.. I said don't mind but what do you mean I am the one - and the lyrics, the strings, the chords, everything comes at that moment like a gift that is put right into your head.. and that's how I hear it'
Rechter: 'you just start singing lyrics?'
MJ: 'absolutely, when I said 'Billie Jean is not my lover', I didn't think about it, it just came and dropped in my ??? at once.. and I loved it, so - Michael moet lachen - .. I drove fast home, and I got on the microphone and put things down.. Then I went into the studio, got the musicians over and gave them all their parts and that's how it's all created. Same thing with other songs I create.

MJ: okay, Thriller, this is a
very famous song from the Thriller album (Michael klinkt heel overtuigend alsof het z'n grootste prestatie is.. XD dat moet je horen om te begrijpen)

Vrouw: Mr. Jackson, who owns MJJ productions?
MJ: I do.
Vrouw: and who do you work for, Mr. Jackson?

Vrouw: now Mr. Jackson, can you read sheet music?
