I prefer this version to the album one. I would listen to this one before the other. It just seems funkier.
I like the video. The music just sounds err...different; a loud BJ beat, but its ok. How can ppl say there is no MJ magic in this video? At the beginning of the video MJ is always with the girl, everywhere she goes, through pictures, videos... Maybe this is why he chose the Pantages theater; to remind the girl that "You are not alone". Then, the girl tastes a bit of Hollywood, but she later dislikes it. (Watch 2:24 - 2:30). She goes back to MJ, remembers him, and strokes his name, like asking for guidance or something (not spiritually talking, but rather talking about MJ's experience in Hollywood) {Watch 2:38}.) I like how this video ends. Forget about auditions, fame and crap, she's following MJ's steps, and being different from the traditional Hollywood "lets make you famous" environment. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say; English isn't my first language.
Quote from: "Gema"Quote from: "Miss.Peppers"Is that DaveDave at 3:33 in the first posted video? Looks like a burns victim with fused ears? (sorry, i know that sounds awful)Personally... i do not like this video. How is glamourising and accepting STRIPPING as a young woman ok>?Is not. I believe that they point out that many dancers end up dancing that way to make money quick. However, in the video she is not doing obscene moves and her clothes are broad enough so they present the concept not falling in to obscenity.That doesnt make it ok. In fact, it glamourises it more because it fails to show the reality.

Ok, has anyone paid attention to the last shot of the dancer in the end, when she freezes in MJ pose? There is some talk I picked up that some think this is NOT her in the shot when it just shows her from the waist up (w/o showing her waist). Now, it is definitly her until 4:46,47, 48. I can't get a clear shot and I don't have the software- but I have a question about the nose (that seems differnt and also, the chin-cleft that seems deeper in that shot. If anyone can pull that shot in, it would be great. The FB stite Michael Jackson Immortal also posted the shot:You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
This is an interesting video.First major impression, the lyric about how she gives hot tricks to men breaks to scenes of the HMH kids dancing. That's odd. It's the only point in the video where it doesn't follow the girl's story.Someone (hoaxer) at some point mentioned they noticed the song MJ wrote is not the song $ony produced for the album. About how MJ wrote a song about how a girl has a dream of being a star but finds the dark side of Hollywood instead, and $ony changed it to the girl realizing her dream and becoming a big star, the voiceover changes the entire tone of the song.That concept is sticking out a little. So does the video take us back to what MJ wanted or is it the $ony version?It's hard to say. Until the flash mob scene I'd say it's MJ's version of the story. Enter flashmob and I get confused. But "Dave Dave" is dancing. See him? The token old man makes his appearance. The director keeps teasing you, making you think it's MJ's feet, MJ's legs, MJ's hand, MJ's pose... freeze n hold with shadowy lighting... is it him? No, it's the girl. Interesting video indeed.
A like everything !What a beautiful video. How can you say there is no Michael's magic ? What did you expect ?He puts on the spotlight a very good dancer, she represents the fans.The vidéo is fresh, the job is given to us, no MJ.

I see the message of the video as follows (I'll try to explain the flash mob dance scene):After seeing the dark side of Hollywood (winning the audition for the stripper), which looked good only from afar, the girl decided to take Michael's advice: follow your dreams. But your REAL dreams. Seeing Michael's lovely posture in the street posters (in a hat and a glove) was enough for the girl to put her on the right track. She saw the the hat and a glove and remembered what Michael taught her! Dance was her greatest love - but not doing something against your own self. She decided to be like Michael - just dance for simple people in the streets. Give them joy and happiness. You don't need to be a famous Hollywood star to be happy. You simply need to do something good to others.
