The first post content

She was more like a beauty queen
From a movie scene
I said, don't mind
But what do you mean
I am the one
Who will dance on the floor, in the round'
She says, 'I am the one who will dance
On the floor in the round'

She told me her name was Billie Jean
As she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes
That dreamed of being the one
Who will dance on the floor, in the round

People always told me,
Be careful of what you do
And don't go around
Breaking young girls' hearts
And mother always told me,
Be careful of who you love
And be careful what you do
Cause the lie becomes the truth

Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that
I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one
But the kid is not my son

For forty days and forty nights
I was on her side
But who can stand
When she's in demand
Her schemes and plans
Cause we danced on the floor, in the round
So take my strong advice
Just remember to always think twice
(Do think twice)
Do think twice
Hooo

She told my baby
We danced till three
And she looked at me
Then showed a photo
My baby cried
His eyes were like mine
Can we dance on the floor, in the round, babe

People always told me,
Be careful of what you do
And don't go around
Breaking young girls' hearts'
(Don't break no hearts)

But you came and stood right by me
Just a smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
She called me to her room

Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that
I am the one
But the kid is not my son
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that
I am the one
But the kid is not my son
No, no
She says I am the one
(Oh, babe)
But the kid is not my son

He, he, he
Hoo!
Hoo!

She says I am the one
But the kid is not my son
No, no, no
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that
I am the one
(You know what you did to me, babe)
But the kid is not my son
No, no, no, no
No, no

She says I am the one
But the kid is not my son

No, no

She says I am the one
You know what you did
She says he is my son
Breaking my heart, babe
She says I am the one

Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover

Freddie and I had discussions about it for hours, I won't bother you with it all and it took me some time so see, but in short it could be possible that he means this by it:

Who is the kid on the photo?
'His eyes were like mine', 'But the kid is not my son'. So the kid is Mike himself.

Who is Billie Jean?
Billie Jean is the public, the world. The public chose him to 'dance in the round', since he was a kid. The public is also in demand, they want new music, they want him to dance and sing and make music. The public also lies, we have seen enough examples through the years of lies about him. But his mother also says: "Don't go around breakin' young girls' hearts", because the public is also his fans. Which could mean that in some of his lyrics where he mentions a 'girl' he could also mean 'the public' or 'the fans'.

It's just a smart part of what we discussed, but with this and after S.T.U.D.Y.'s posts concerning TIAI, I think we can strip more of his songs, especially from thr BAD-era until Invincible, because he became more political from that time on.

I wonder what you guys come up with!

I agree that Billie Jean is a reference to the world, but mainly the media.  When he says she is a "beauty queen from a movie scene" it could be since the media portrays Hollywood as being all glitz and glamour he was enticed or "seduced"  to make his dreams come true through his career.

"But you came and stood right by me
Just a smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
She called me to her room"

The media "chose him" to be the center all of their focus and at one time everyone in society looked at him and wanted to be him.  His family and friends warned him to be careful because they have a way of making lies seem like the truth.

For awhile he was on their side but they are not his "lover" meaning they did not help produce his career or "his baby". They started reporting on false allegations hurting his career and they knew what they were doing.  It's very sad. It broke his heart too.

"My baby cried
His eyes were like mine"

"You know what you did
She says he is my son
Breaking my heart, babe"

He also refers to Billie Jean in "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'"

"Billie Jean Is Always Talkin'
When Nobody Else Is Talkin'
Tellin' Lies And Rubbin' Shoulders"
