Michael Movie Teaser Review & Billboard Hot 100 Prediction (Thriller)

Ok, so I'm reposting this review, minus links to the movie's teaser. When I posted my initial blog, my site received an error by mistake, I presume. So, if this post vanishes (again), I will post the blog on my website's Wix app. This blog is just my lil way of expressing my thoughts and love for MJ, and I hope those who run across it in the future will enjoy reading.

Now onto the blog:

Yes! The Michael movie "teaser" is finally here! By now, I'm sure you all have seen it and watched it a million times like I have! Thanks to the MJ fam 'in the know' on social media, we were aware this was coming, which was a good thing. Some of us might have entered a 'State of Shock' had it just popped up unexpectedly! Lol. But alas, the biopic teaser is finally here, and we can all take a collective sigh! The biopic era is upon us!

Over the last couple of days, I’ve been enjoying all the love Michael has been receiving, which started with "Thriller." Thriller is the official song of Halloween, and don't let anyone tell you different! Celebrities like Ciara have dressed up as Michael, and many people have delved into their love for the "Thriller" short film and song—it has really been a "Michaeltastic" time!

This year's "Thriller Challenge" was amazing! So amazing that Thriller is predicted to be in the top 10 on Billboard's Hot 100! This would make Michael the only artist to have a top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in the '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s, and '20s! On the UK official singles chart, "Thriller" reached #9, surpassing its peak placement of #10 from 42 years ago!

Now back to the biopic teaser! It has amassed 116.2 million views in its first 24 hours, making it the most viewed trailer for any music biopic in history! It’s also the biggest debut trailer for Lionsgate, the movie's studio! And did we really expect anything less? Michael is the king! This is only the teaser—imagine how it's going to be when the actual trailer drops!

I won’t list everything I loved about the teaser because I adored the entire thing! However, the highlight for me was hearing Michael speak at the end. Jaafar Jackson, who plays Michael in the film, is actually Michael Jackson's real-life nephew, being the son of Jermaine Jackson. He has perfectly captured his uncle’s voice and sweet little giggle! My heart both smiled and melted when I heard him!

The film's visuals are on point, the details (yes, the orange juice was spotted on the conference room table in front of Mike), and the music! I can't wait to hear Michael's music thumping in theaters! The person who did the music mashup did an incredible job, and the audio is top-tier! It wouldn’t surprise me if someone who worked with Michael in the past were behind that!

And wow, the film's director, Antoine Fuqua, screenwriter John Logan, and producer Graham King knew just how to tease us with the teaser intro, opening with actor Kendrick Sampson portraying Quincy Jones, saying, "I know you've been waiting a long time for this!" Although he says it while addressing Mike in the studio, I loved the play on words! Yes, we have been waiting a long time for this! ❤️🕊️👑
