Music Video: Michael Jackson - Billie Jean Our second Music Video CSP is the classic Michael Jackson -  Billie Jean . This was a hugely influential media product that set the conventions for future music videos - and persuaded Michael Jackson's record company to throw million-dollar budgets at future productions.
