That opening pose before they jump in is awesome. Especially the girl doing the billie jean pose!

I think I can replicate this, provided the water is replaced by beer but I might drown and you better not resuscitate me!

Good to know. You need to commit to wearing the Michael swim suit as worn by the Russian champions from London 2012 Olympics. If you can do that, we have a deal.

Looking forward to seeing your upside down moonwalk.

Exactly. And the other one I posted is from 2023. I'm not knocking the one I posted of the Russian champions from London Olympics in 2012 - that was truly awesome - but when I see stuff like this and it's post-2019 it definitely is even more pleasing.

EDIT - ooh, I just noticed. The Italian rhythmic gymnastics thing I posted upthread, that was also 2023. :)

@zinniabooklover Michael performing a set with just Glorieux on piano, like what happened in that hotel with that random pianist, that would have most likely been my nr 1 MJ moment in his career.

That is such a great idea! My ongoing fantasy is Michael doing a series of low-key shows, not the big, glitzy spectacle in a huge stadium. I want the shows to be no more than 90 minutes and I want a section where it's just Michael's voice and a piano. I've always assumed I'd have Brad Buxer on piano. But this is a much better idea. Francois would bring a whole different vibe to the show, he would be perfect. Having said that, Buz Kohan has just jumped into my head. I wonder if that would have worked. šŸ¤”

I need to go back and revisit that interview you posted. I can't remember if Francois said him and Michael had ever had any plans to work together.

Thinking about this a bit more - you're right. It needs to be a whole show, not just a short section within a longer show. A whole hour or 1hr 20mins of Michael and Francois. It would have been magic.
 
So I donā€™t know where to post this so Iā€™ll post it here:
Apparently there will be a tribute show in Florida on Oct. 26 called Thriller, A Michael Jackson Tribute
So if anyone goes there, let me know if you enjoyed it or not. Thanks šŸ™ƒ
 
I've had Succar and Rava in my Amazon basket for over a year. Just can't bring myself to buy them - I guess I'm just extremely sceptical of the massive wave of MJ covers after the year 2009. It sickens me.

Note the costumes in this routine!

"Three-time Canadian national medalists Marjorie Lajoie and Zachary Lagha perform their '80's-themed' 2023-2024 Rhythm Dance to a medley of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" competing at the 2024 ISU World Figure Skating Championships, where they placed 5th"

No idea what prompted this - it's too early for the biopic - but very happy to see this. :)

This might not work. My tweet re-posts don't seem to be working atm.

Anyway, @filmandmusic check this out. 'Baby Be Mine' - not one that usually gets covered.
