What do you think about Smooth Criminal music video "short version"?

Doesn't get talked about a lot. Its interesting and completely different. Also uses more footage from other parts of Moonwalker. I don't really like the low framerate footage.

I remember it from my dad's Number Ones dvd. That's how I got introduced to MJ

I also had a disc with that title, and this video was on it too!

I hate it. But I also know mtv wasn’t going to play a 10 minute music video every second.
I still think they could have done a better job of abbreviating it. It ended up being a clip show

There are definitely versions that are edited more normally that aired. I think I had one saved from vh1 back in the day. It was still four minutes long, but the editing matched the lyrics and choreography. If I find it, I’ll post here.

But agree. This tweaked out version sucks.

I like this version better than the one from the film. Probably because I saw this video when I was a child—before the film—and it left a strong impression on me. Overall, I really like this kind of slideshow; it shows that the criminal is truly smooth and elusive.

Absolutely perfect! One of my favorite!❤️

This will get me downvoted, but I prefer it to the longer one. The only shortened version I do.

[u/ChaiTeaAndBoundaries]

It is smoother than the longer version. Prefer the shorter version.
