Michael looks quite smooth and Spanish in a pony tail, tight jeans and a sleeveless vee-neck tee, and the video is shot in a "hacienda" setting, with an intriguing chorus of Iberian dancers turning slowly in long, flowing white robes.

Jackson then grabs the kid by the collar and drags him off camera in a funny, "This is my video, white boy" gesture that recalls the time a frustrated Diana Ross dragged a teen-age Michael out of her way during a seventies Motown TV special.

 What's the deal with Michael Jackson? By Jody Rosen and Margo Jefferson
Michael Jackson has been at the center of popular culture for three-and-a-half decades, and for two of those decades he's been arguably the most famous person on earth.
The first chapter, "Freaks," links Jackson to P.T. Barnum and suggests that Jackson's bizarre behavior and physical transformations (you call him "a new kind of mulatto, one created by science and medicine and cosmetology") are to some degree deliberate—that Jackson is a fancier of freakishness and has cultivated it as part of his artistic project.
Most discussions of Jackson have made a distinction between his onstage brilliance and offstage freakishness—between Jackson the artist and "wacko Jacko." But, as you show, the subject of Michael Jackson's work is the man in the mirror; he's one of pop's great confessors.

Beat It reflects Jackson’s ambivalent fascination with aggression and anti-social behavior — surely the strutting gang-lords are supposed to be cool, although Michael is the coolest one of all — and his frequent hostility toward the audience — in one extreme close-up he all but spits on the camera.

 Gary Westfahl's Bio-Encyclopedia of Science Fiction Film: Michael Jackson
There were early signs of Jackson's interest in the fantastic: his willingness to sing the theme song to the revenge-of-the-intelligent-rats epic, Ben, and his engaging performance as the Scarecrow in an all-fl film version of The Wizard of Oz that might have been charming had anyone other than Diana Ross been cast as the lead.
Yet in Ghosts, by simultaneously casting himself as the elderly white man who hurls insults at the young eccentric, Jackson further suggests that an element of self-loathing is creeping into his psyche, as his immense global popularity continues to diminish.
Several of them are fantasies, like “Remember the Time,” depicting Jackson as a magician entertaining an Egyptian pharaoh (played by Eddie MURPHY) and enticing his wife, and “Earth Song,” where a world ravaged by pollution is miraculously restored to its natural beauty by a mighty healing wind.
