I totally agree with you Andrea. Murray has been driving us crazy the same way. Because there's a real person, Michael can hide behind that fact and use it to his advantage. Occasionally he can be that person in disguise, acting like them which takes great skill, and yet be himself a little bit also, and that's why we go crazy seeing the Michaelishness about the person. You called it the Dave Dave syndrome or something like that. In Ghost, Michael's mayor disguise sort of looked like Bashir and Tom Sneddon--a deliberate combo.

With all due respect to your opinion, if Michael was disguising himself as this particular individual, this man would be one more person let in on the hoax, and he'd have to be cooperative seeing as it's his resume that's getting padded.

IMO, the hoax itself is a huge risk/gamble with serious consequences if it goes wrong, and I just don't see Michael letting every Tom, Dick, and Harry in on it for the purpose of entertaining, especially if he was in danger.

Michael never sold Neverland, nor did he lose it or give it up.

Colony Capital, LLC  only purchased the loan, not the property. Funny thing is, the title was transferred to Sycamore Valley Ranch Company, LLC, a company which Michael partly owned. I'm assuming his estate now owns his portion.

I forgot to add one more thought...

It's obvious this man sticks out. His ability to dance well combined with his age does lend attention to him; however, perhaps we should wonder who exactly is singling him out, and why.

The HT video is professionally done, and there's momentary focus on the gentleman. The Official Michael Jackson Flash Mob For Haiti seems to be professionally filmed as well, and Mr. Edwards is certainly center stage in that as well, or I should say he's more prolific in it.

How often is it that an older man, with limited dance experience, is going to be cast in so many professional videos? I mean, come on. He started taking salsa lessons, then moved to cardio hip hop classes, and now he's dancing professionally in high dollar productions? I wonder how many dancers that are better than him were turned down for the HT video?

IMO, somebody, somewhere is using him as a decoy of sorts. But why?

Hi everyone. I'm new!

I've been lurking for a while, but decided to register today. I hope you don't mind me jumping in head first.

Someone mentioned Michael's Billie Jean performance in TII being different. Travis Payne actually addresses this, saying that Michael purposely changed it up. I can buy that because I've read Michael's own words where he says he often wanted to mix that particular performance up, but didn't because of the fans wishes. He said something about them (the fans) wanting him to moonwalk in the same part, all of the time.

On to Mr. Edwards. His bio states he was Deputy Director of Engineering for the Air Force for 30 years (recently retired), and yes, there was a John Edwards who held that position.

His LinkedIn profile can be found here in more detail.

Here's an article on his dancing taken from the LA AFB's website.

It's highly unlikely that this man is Michael, but I can say he moves well for a 66 year old white guy. It's funny though that he's sort of prolific and very visible in many things involving Michael.

Oh, he does teach at Hype Dance Studio, too.
