Friday Five

“John Mayer is one of the two artists who I will always, no matter what, without review,  buy his next album.” – Me, 5 thing’s I’m looking forward to

Only one person guessed correctly who the other artist is, and it was my sister Melissa.  That’s right, I was actually referring on Monday to the King of Pop, Michael Jackson.

Like many, I grew up on MJ, and I plan on forcing my own children to like him.  I’d say he will be missed, but let’s be honest.  He was already missed.  The man has been sick for a long time, and the Michael Jackson we all love is the one who has been gone for a while.

But, his music, his influence, and his eccentric dance moves will continue to inspire.  His three decades of hits will continue to sell.  And as long as I live, I will continue to hold my belt buckle, and horribly imitate the famous leg-kick on the dance floor at weddings.

That being said, here is today’s “Friday Five”

Best Ever Superbowl Halftime Show – 1993 Superbowl  Part 1 and Part 2

Most underrated MJ song – Keep the Faith (warning: this video might make you  a bit sad)

Strangest MJ move – Yelling on top of air vents that were shooting out smoke.  I’m sure it was a rush for him, but I just don’t think it looked to us like it felt to him.

Most attempted, yet poorly imitated dance move – the moonwalk.  I don’t want to toot my own synthesized horn, but I feel like I’m actually pretty good at it.  See for yourself.

Best MJ cover – Tyler Stanton performing “Will You Be There” at Family Camp (warning, this will make you feel slightly embarassed)

What is your favorite MJ song, music video, and trademark move?  I really want to know, and then I’ll tell you all of mine.
