I always found that the performance at Motown 25 was sufficient to promote the single released in January 1983. With this performance showed the world, for the first time, the Moonwalk.
The music video (I think it was broadcasted before Motown 25), didn't has the Moonwalk and wasn't very attractive compared to Beat it music video, and later Thriller.
I don't know how was the fans' reaction on Billie Jean when the music video was broadcasted, but I don't think they were very " woow " compared to what they had seen in Motown 25.
I wonder if MJ decided to perform the song in Motown 25 because he saw that the music video (it was the first as promo for the album) wasn't enough to boost the sales.
