His vocal hiccups were to express the mood of the song. Examples are excitement and fear. Michael Jackson was not alone in this. The technique (formally called a "glottal stroke") is used by many singers - Buddy Holly did it all the time, and you can hear examples of it in Elvis Presley and Jimmy Rodgers work, too.
