Starting off, HOUSTON’s own Beyonce has a mechanical glove in her "Single Ladies" video. This reminds me of the glove Michael Jackson wore during the Thriller album. Wait until the end to see what I’m talking about. This is a good video and she reps HOUSTON well.
Here's the link to the video here.
Q-Tip’s video for “Move” pays homage to “Rock with You” and does it perfectly. This is that video here.
Then it all goes up from there. I saw that Mr. Brown dude from Tyler Perry's Meet The Browns do the MJ kick and crotch grap.
Then, I was in Buffalo Wild Wings and I saw this girl with an 80s jacket very similar to the one MJ wore in his "Beat It" video.
Man, I even saw this dude in a band jacket similar to the picture below. He also wore a brim hat too (this was similar to the one Justin Timberlake wore when he started his solo career and was like Mic Jack)!
I was like, “It’s like that?”.
(Looking at this pic, I see why Michael had to get the mullet when he got lighter.)
Way before then I saw this Ryan Leslie video with him doing a dance that was very MJ-esque. That starts at 00:14. That link is here.
Am I off for seeing this in today’s world and media? I think I’m onto something…
On another note, Mic Jack really needs Quincy Jones back on any future albums he puts out. After Bad, I don’t think there are anymore GREAT classics to hear from him. What happened between those two anyway?
Also, why is "They Don't Care About Us" a hit in urban clubs and hangouts? I can't figure this out because it comes on in between Frankie Beverly and Maze hits and other traditional R&B hits. It's a song about being oppressed. I don't get it yet.
Dude, writing this...I think I could rework Mike's whole image and get this man back to ultra platinum status again.
