Billie Tweets
A Twitter tribute to Michael Jackson and his hit song “Billie Jean”
Billie Tweets is a tribute to the life and career of Michael Jackson, built at the time of his passing in June 2009.
While the music video for his hit song “Billie Jean” is played, random tweets are displayed containing the words sung in the lyrics. This creates the effect of a virtual “sing along” where everyone on Twitter is joining in, honoring both the near-universal popularity of his music, as well as his lifelong work toward peace and unity.
