Used in Smooth Criminal article as sole example of, among other elements critical to the understanding of such a performer, Jackson’s vocal and musical style – elements which cannot be reasonably expected to be conveyed adequately by prose. Song has additional relevance as a work central to Jackson’s success and as piece for which Jackson has received significant recognition. It illustrates an educational article that specifically discusses the song from which this sample was taken. It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted sample of comparable educational value. Used in Smooth Criminal as example of style of the song. Critical commentary included in article. |
