  • Thanks for uploading!! You're the bomb diggity!

  • This is so awesome that you pulled this together, thank you! I can't believe it--I just opened the computer with the idea to do just this, except just with just the lyrics, because I've been having some trouble knowing what move happens at which point of the song when Inez's cues aren't present--so this is EXACTLY what I woke up wishing I could see! Such a great help, thank you! (plus it's always great to see Michael doing the moves!) =)

  • @sothrillme it came out wicked good :) we did awesome!!!!

  • ...listen to the howlings!!! In reference to the book "In The Studio With Michael Jackson" by Bruce Swedien. Bruce had a large dog named Max, he wanted him to be in the intro doing the howlings, they tried to bribe him with everything but they failed so in the end Michael had to do all of this howling part...pretty awesome!!!
