Hey!
I was SOOOO psyched last night when I went to the (25th anniversary) U.S. Army Soldier Show (I go every year, it's great!) and they performed (amongst many other contemporary songs/artists) Akon's version of "Wannabe Starting Something" and Thriller! It was sooooooo AWESOME!!
I swear, if people weren't clapping and dancing on the other songs, as soon as Thriller came up everyone got up and was so happy
My favorite performance of the night--and I loved seeing the Thriller video (with a really crazy cartoon-ized effect) on the big plasma screens too! It was so great.
Here's an article about the Thriller performance from when the show went to Virginia:
The show will, however, pay tribute to the coincidental 25th anniversary of Michael Jackson's "Thriller," the best-selling album of all-time on Billboard's charts. As the song begins, a Soldier-performer on guard duty scans the audience with a Night Vision camera and spectators can see themselves on positive screens. With the use of black lights and colored costumes, the Night-Vision effect will spill onto the stage.
"So it's as if the audience is watching this number in Night Vision," Higdon explained. "And we've 'cartoonized' the original Michael Jackson video that will be shown on the plasma screens while we're doing it live on stage. It will be a pretty big production number.
