Quote from: "Cameron"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. There a soooo many ways I could say there is no magic (for me)...with an added disclaimer of this is only my opinion and how I feel. Feel free to disagree.First, though this young lady is a fabulous dancer, she does nothing to make me believe the storyline. I don't feel a connection. Second, she dances the choreography but I don't feel like she and the music are one and the same. Only MJ could BE the music. You know what I mean? Third, I didn't feel compelled to watch her or it. When MJ videos from 20 years ago come on my tv, I can't look away. When Billie Jean, Thriller, Bad, etc. come on the radio I can't turn it off. In 20 years do you think you will still care about how good a dancer she is? I won't. There are other reasons but they all boil down to the same common denominator: making me FEEL something. A connection almost supernatural that casts a spell on you and won't let you go, a power that holds you and binds you to him and it. You know, the very definition of MAGIC. MJ=MagicAs for what I expected...not much and everything. lol Anyway, everyone is entitled to find their own magic. I just didn't find mine there. JMO

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.

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.
Quote from: "VeryLittleSusie"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. Very nice, VeryLittleSuzie!

I watched the video again, trying not to get too sad this time, but this is impossible.I do not believe that Michael had a hand as a producer or director, because he certainly would have done much better. I do not criticize the dancer, she's great, but I agree that she has not passed no emotion in your story, and as Teddy said, the content of the music got lost!I think Michael is not participating in the development of this video. I do not see his genius here!So where is Michael and he can be doing? Is he working on his next album to flip it personally? That would be a sweet dream!
