    I wonder if in 30 years we'll be seeing folks here immitating/commemorating SMAP. Somehow I doubt it.

    More Michael Jackson stuff again. Really! I was already sick of all the tribute stuff the week he died...Not to speak ill of the dead, but it might've been a different story had he "faced the music" in the legal system instead of out-of-court settlements.

    Only in Japan and some Asian countries. Michael Jackson is very popular among the younger crowd.

    Scariest photo I've ever seen on JT. I think these people are suffering from a serious case of dis-rhythmia.

    I watched this group dance and sing to the following numbers: I Want to Lock With You; Biry Jean; I Just Can't Stop Rubbing You; You Lock My World; Man in the Miller. Nice job overall.

    I Just Can't Stop Rubbing You

    LOL! Awesome stuff - and pretty appropriate when singing a MJ number!

    Worst costumes ever, and the guy on the left has some chewing tobacco in his "mouse." Dunce (girl) in the back looks like she is really getting down, though...
