How can the thriller music video be considered grotesque by bakhtin's definition?

[Katie O]

I am writing a paper on how different aspects of michael Jackson'scan be considered carnivalesque, and for one part i am focusing on how he used the grotesque in his performances. One of the examples i want to use is the music video thriller, i just need help in how it is specifically grotesque. Any other comments on how Jacksons life was carnivalesque or about grotesque in any of his performances is greatly appricappreciatednk you !
