Top 9 Best-Ever Michael Jackson Music Videos
With the passing of the King of Pop comes the end of a musical videography that helped to define, well, the entire first decade of MTV. Michael Jackson turned out videos that rocked the collective worlds of pop, R&B, filmmaking and multimedia promotion.
And of the many M.J. clips that have burned prison-tattoo impressions into our video-loving souls, these are the Top 9 most kickass. Did we leave any off, or make a bad call?

Do you even remember what television looked like before the Barack Obama-John McCain showdown? Neither do we. Thank heaven for Election Day and the conclusion of the longest-running media rivalry since Aniston vs. Jolie. (Maybe now Tim Gunn can reclaim his post as TV's most savvy and ubiquitous advocate for change?)
To celebrate, let's pause and reflect on the most entertaining media displays of this please-oh-please-let-it-finally-be-over campaign season. We voted for nine, and left the No. 10 spot open for your write-in:
Cursed Castmembers from American Pie: Our Top 9
Universal Pictures
In 1999, American Pie was hailed as a hilariously horny highlight of the millennial teen-movie renaissance, with a cast packed with the Next Big Things. Turns out, the film was actually loaded with career-jinxing juju that neither high-powered agents nor well-connected gypsies have been able to squelch.

Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns
Lionsgate
Review in a Hurry: Feel-good themes of resilience, faith and family aren't sufficient to redeem this scattershot single-parent dramedy from the Diary of a Mad Black Woman auteur. Leading lady Angela Bassett could make a Quizno's ad feel Oscar-worthy, but her captivating presence here makes Perry's shortcut-riddled script and screwball interludes all the more forgettable.
Over Her Dead Body
Dale Robinette /New Line Cinema/Gold Circle Films
Review in a Hurry: Housewife or not, you'd have to be desperate to enjoy this clumsy supernatural comedy, dogged by truly lifeless plotting and a near-total lack of chemistry. A Razzie award is about the only thing small-screen defector Eva Longoria Parker deserves for the leap.
