Re: Michael's 50th b-day VIDEO PROJECT!CHECK PAGE 23 FOR THE LIST OF VIDEOS AND VOTE!DEADLINE - AUG2
Whatever...
This is VERY important. Here is the list of ideas for the videos... EVERYBODY come and chip in! (is that how it's said?)
1.DON'T STOP TILL YOU GET ENOUGH - go wild. just go WILD! fool around, wear a silly 70's disco costume and go dancing and singing, laughing, lip-syncing, alone or with someone , just GO WILD! OW!
2.ROCK WITH YOU - let this magical groove get into you and just move it. Come on, whenever you feel like dancing , just take a camera and enjoy yourself. You can do it I am sure Doesn't Michael make you "wanna rock"?
3.OFF THE WALL - It would be good if at the start of the clip you are seen in some work clothes, carrying a briefcase and then letting it all go, taking it off - not striptease (although,if that's what works for you...lol) and then just fooling around...
4.SHE'S OUT OF MY LIFE - a guy could be sitting alone in his room, and then there can be parts of him and a girl being together...or vice versa,whatever. And the almighty editor will add the flashback effect. LOL.
5.WANNA BE STARTIN' SOMETHIN'- Well, for this one I guess I am gonna go around my house running up and down, jumping on the table. LOL. Up to you! BTW, I am planning for this song to be the first video on the first dvd of the 5 to be sent to Michael (hopefully ahem), so as this one is going to be first probably, it has to be ... well... EXPLOSIVE! And P.S. NO WBSS 2008. sorry Akon lovers. Too many medleys already!
6.BABY BE MINE - I imagined the video for this one like... You know the scene in Grease with Danny and Sandy at the end , when Sandy is the hot chick lol and then she goes on flirting with him. And then they do the dance on "You're the one that I want" , with the legs and all?
So, basically a fun, flirty dance with a guy and a girl, it would be so fun!
7.THE GIRL IS MINE 2008 - OK sorry if I am being a bitch about this, but NO WAY I am willing to make a video for the original version. It's way too slow and boring. The Girl Is Mine 2008. Check out the video of MJNATS on YouTube and you'll see what I mean. The positive energy that is in her is just awesome. She is lip-syncing,smiling,dancing... All in the one video! Two guys fighting over a girl? That would be cool as well.
8.THRILLER - Do I need to say anything? If nothing else, put on your Halloween costume and freak us out. Or dance with it on. Like I will... SHHHH! Don't say it's me! And also, a horror setting - a dark room in an Edgar Allan Poe style and you are Vincent Price? That would work as well.
9.BEAT IT - Rock'n'Roll baby! Guitar playing, screaming, fighting... whatever. Just remember to stay TOUGH!
10.BILLIE JEAN - This is going to be the last video on the last dvd, before the closer video which is...find out later. Anyway, this is going to be something special. And hell yeah, I know y'all have tried this dance at homes,don't be acting like you haven't! The point of this video is nothing but showing the importance of THE DANCE! Keep moonwalkin' people...
11.HUMAN NATURE - For this one you could... Ummm... Well yeah, check out the video on page 1 ! Actually part 1 of it. I am yet to post part 2 which is FINISHED,believe me! But another part of Smooth Jay and Jack Bubbles interaction is to be added...Once my almost non-existent hair grows back. I am a professional actor and Mike isn't a fool as not to see the difference!
12.P.Y.T. / P.Y.T. 2008 - The original song is going and then all of a sudden it stops. A time machine is on. 25 years later... 3...2...1... BANG! P.Y.T. 2008. Dance your butts off
13.LADY IN MY LIFE - Piano cover in a low light room... it would be awesome...
14.BAD - The same as for Beat It - have fun but be tough in it! Record yourself in a car, or acting rebellious...but,don't,get...arrested or something... Just act it out. But not too much. I don't want any of you in prison for loving Mike!
15.THE WAY YOU MAKE ME FEEL - copying the video would be awesome. Imagine dancing in the street at night...Hot. But please no Britney.
16.MAN IN THE MIRROR - page 1. (if only there were more "ideas" like this one to write...)
17.IJCSLY - Idem.
18.DIRTY DIANA - It would be cool if there was some girl putting make up on in front of the mirror, in tight black clothes, like Diana in the video
19. SMOOTH FUKKING CRIMINAL - The best damn video ever? hell yeah. So why hesitate to honor it by making our own? OOOOOOH! You know what would be AWESOME?! If we put the intro from the concert, that somebody has recorded I am sure, and then also the slow part from the Moonwalker, with the cats and all that hot stuff... we can make it by doing some slow dance, in a low light room...
20.JAM - some basketball would be awesome. some shadows with lip-syncing would be awesome as well. And the entrance scene on the concert? Now that would be amazing as well. Like, before starting the dance there should be a silent intro of us just standing ,looking at the camera... And waiting, and waiting,and waiting... And then BAM! JAM! lol!
Changed my mind- THIS should be the opener!
21.IN THE CLOSET - it would be cool to make the dancing in front of the door or closet, with a shaky camera, and some hot choreography. Guy and girl ? Would be great. And then the editor will use his magic stick to add the awesome sepia tone to it!
22.REMEMBER THE TIME - You could, for example, record yourself in a modern setting, and also in a sorta "old-fashioned" setting,with a love interest for example... You could do the dancing in both, or whatever. And the mighty editor would make the flashbacks work!
And the Egyptian dance style! Or the introduction, with all the various entertainers
23.HEAL THE WORLD - What I am planning to do for this video is go through parks, forests etc. and stick bandages on trees, monuments etc. and then in the end on a globe!
This is not only one of the best known Michael's songs, but one of his dearest as well ! So let's make something special of it. Think of a message that you could send out to the world... How can YOU make the world a better place?
24.BLACK OR WHITE - OK, for this one, fans of ALL nationalities, colors, religions are needed! And what would be great is that everybody dances in their traditional clothes , and traditional dances are welcome as well! Also, the last part of the video has GOT to be done. So , you record yourself from head to shoulders and do the lip-syncing and head moving, like in the video! And the almighty editor will do the morphing!!! OW!
25.WHO IS IT - Make it mysterious. Video like! It would be good to make a detective story, you know, like investigating identities and stuff... And also, being in a darkened room with a spotlight only, where YOU would be dancing, or sitting all dressed up with a whiskey in your hand... And you could also look out the window, or sing in the mirror. That would be good as well... If you are having trouble with the spotlight, I can do it
26.GIVE IN TO ME - ROCK'N'ROOLLLLL ! OW! Yeah, well, basically, it would be great to make a rock band - 2 guitars, a drummer and a singer
Just whatever you do, make sure it is R'n'R !!!
27.WILL YOU BE THERE - almost finished, thanks for contributing
28.GONE TOO SOON - This might be a bit painful, but... If you want to tell a story about someone who isn't among the living anymore, go ahead. A friend of mine who passed away was an extraordinary person and I just feel the urge to ...just tell a bit of his story. So if you wanna tell about someone you miss , go ahead. We will also tell about the great ones who are still missed, like Pavarotti, James Brown,Ray Charles, Heath Ledger... All of them who are always gone TOO soon...
29.DANGEROUS - OK, it is , hands down, one of the biggest performances of Michael's and I am sure one of the most often practiced routines in the fans' bedrooms
So go ahead, show us your home-made performances!
30.SCREAM - Make it energetic. Make it angry. With close-up views and twisted cameras - a dance duel, that would also work!
Just make it powerful!!!
31.THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT US - The marching would be amazing. Military outifts, scenes of intolerance etc. I am sure this one speaks for itself
32.STRANGER IN MOSCOW - Ah, my first-born child
Always a favorite
You haven't seen it? Check it out! Then hurry back here
33.EARTH SONG - Copying the video would be amazing, but also veeeeery hard to do. So, what we could do is copy the idea of the "What's goin' on" video, you know, the one with the blindfolded people, and as you unveil the veil (or however it is said lol) , written are the words such as WAR , HATE, RACISM etc. And then in the end you open up your eyes and look up, to face the situation of our planet... And also, we could add some facts about the state of the Earth, which is not looking good
34.YOU ARE NOT ALONE - coming veeeeeeeryy soon
35.SMILE - I want this one to make Michael laugh. Or at least smile. So you do the same. Or act silly you know!
But not inappropriate of course! And acting as Charlie Chaplin, with the hat, moustache and stick would be amazing! And the walk...
Another thing I wanna make sure we do is that somebody takes a suitcase and puts it on the bed, takes out the Billie Jean outfit and puts it on, and looks in the mirror in the end and smiles. Because, on the last dvd, the following video will be Billie Jean, and then For All Time
36.BLOOD ON THE DANCEFLOOR - I want some hot dancing here, y'all. Latin dance would also make it work. Just make sure you are dressed in RRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEDDD!!!
37.HE'S UNBREAKABLE / SHE'S INVINCIBLE - OK, now this one is gonna be VEEEEERY fun ! Girls VS Boys! So - the He's Unbreakable part is the responsibility of our lovely Summer - she wrote a special version of Unbreakable which I want the girls to sing over the Unbreakable instrumental. SUMMER,BRING IT ON! Give the new lyrics, which the girls are gonna sing! And as for the guys! I already recorded myself dancing to Invincible and it is ridiculous lol. So, back me up, fellaz! You could include a hot girl walking by and you are checking her out, trying to seduce her... With dancing of course. NOT striptease! LOL
38.YOU ROCK MY WORLD - The intro to this video, with Michael's silhouette is PERFECT. So , somebody should record that part. And then, the piano kicks in! And y'all could also do the choreography, for example someone could be Michael and the other one could be Chris Tucker! Now that would be hilarious!
Remember the live performance lol! But DON'T break any tables, or burn a cafe... I mean, you could, but if you do, make sure you record it and save the camera lol
39.BUTTERFLIES - Create your own dance routine to this one! Make it soulful and sexy
Piano cover would be great as well.
40.SPEECHLESS - Sitting in a tree, singing, or just lip-syncing... Walking down the river or beach... Just lying next to somebody , being speechless... OH! What just came to my mind is that this one could maybe be done as an old silent movie? With a love story. Like, the guy wants to express his love for a girl, but doesn't know how, and makes up ways and in the end, he just kisses her, or hugs her... And I could make it a black and white film, with the titles... It would be great!
41.CRY/WE'VE HAD ENOUGH - People wanted these 2 songs... So,show me why! Personally I think they are both great songs, and will blend them into one,but send me your vids
42.WHATEVER HAPPENS - I've ALWAYS imagined the video to be set in the Wild Wild West kind of place. Like, the video starts at a saloon, where a cowboy meets a girl and they fall for each other, and Michael and Santana are playing in the saloon and then the guy and the girl fall in love... But she is married and her husband discovers about the affair, and calls the guy for a duel, and they could both die, and the girl mourns for them on the street. Maybe hard to comprehend,but still, we could try to make it the closest possible...
So pick your roles, y'all!!!
43.BROTHERHOOD MEDLEY - Get down... AND BOOGIE! Lol! The disco anthems time. When Michael was a grown up , that is. So , songs like BLAME IT ON THE BOOGIE,SHAKE YOUR BODY, CAN YOU FEEL IT etc. - I am sure this will work without any further explanation.
44.INNER CHILD - As for the young Michael's hits - this is the right place to go. ABC, GOT TO BE THERE, WHO'S LOVIN' YOU I WANT YOU BACK, BEN etc. and the last two are gonna be I'LL BE THERE and the conclusion is CHILDHOOD. Keep the child inside alive. The message is simple. How do you do it?
45.PRIVACY MEDLEY - FUKK THE PRESS! MICHAEL'S THE BEST! So yeah, all of those tabloid bashing songs - the full list is - LEAVE ME ALONE, WHY YOU WANNA TRIP ON ME, D.S. , TABLOID JUNKIE and PRIVACY. You could, as suggested before, record yourself disguised in wheelchair, scarfs, whatever! And also, ripping the tabloids would be good. Moving the camera away, or punching it away... Be angry, but of course, don't go to jail cuz of it... Beatboxing for Tabloid Junkie and WYWTOM ... Guitars for D.S. and Privacy. And for Leave Me Alone , I could make YOU the ones in the dollar or newspapers
Just lip-sync / sing , close view
46.WE ARE THE WORLD - As suggested, sing or lip-sync in front of the flag on the wall, or holding the flag in front of you,singing. And then in the end, I will try to put all of them on the screen, for the last chorus, and then show the picture of the world, as a mosaic... We'll see what the mighty one can do...
47.FOR ALL TIME - I don't wanna spoil this one. It's gonna be a surprise... This is gonna be the last video to be done, and the last video on the last dvd. So , you could record yourself dressed in MJ outfits, or shirts, whatever, and lip-sync. But the last chorus, we have to sing. Cause we will change the chorus to "WHEN WE SAY WE LOVE YOU,MICHAEL YOU GOTTA KNOW,THAT'S FOR ALL TIME!" And also, recording yourself telling a story about why you are a fan, or saying I love you, Happy Birthday messages to Michael, would be perfect for this video.
