It was the biggest selling album in recording history and this performer, with his innovative dance moves, pop beats, iconic style choices (such as the shiny glove-red zipper leather jacket-and black hat), and amazing musicality set the standard for every dancer/performer to follow. This amazing album gave us so many incredible and timeless hits such as; the girl is mine (with paul mccartney), wanna be startin' something, thriller, beat it, billie jean, human nature, and my personal #1 P.Y.T. (pretty young thing). Amazing songs right?
Last night on America's Best Dance Crew they paid tribute to this amazing album and honored the innovative man behind the "moonwalk" ( I remember watching the motown special when he unveiled this move and knowing-even as a child-how it would change dance forever), and many other "signature" dance moves. Each team had to dance to a song off the Thriller album and had to incorporate Michael Jackson's signature moves into their own style of dance. My favorite team...the JabbawockeeZ....picked my favorite song....P.Y.T....and this is what happened--------
THEY DOMINATED!

When I was down in AZ they had an awesome radio station that played all the songs from my childhood...
P.Y.T. came on and I rocked it in my rental car :O)
That was an awesome album!
I remember being so scared by the Thriller video! Like you said, there were so many great songs that I still love.
I just watched this episode last night! JabbawockeeZ rocked the house! I loved how they did the coat flip thing, it was sick! I love them their transitions are so tight-Tom and I watched it twice!
right now this is my favorite order
1. JabbawockeeZ (they are just fun to watch and by far have the Best Routines)
2.Status-Quo - I think they have the most street credit for crew dancing!the only thing they lack are booty shaking girls!
3.Kaba Modern - Their isolations are SICK even the girls are Talented!
Ok enough I gotta stop-nena
