I saw this back in the 80s for the first time as a child, and it still fascinates me. After years of videos from Madonna, Michael/Janet Jackson, Britney, Beyonce, various ballet, what have you, I think this is still my favorite 3-4 minutes of dance. It's camp and artsy and minimalist while still being infectious and fun. It is completely unconcerned by vanity or the need for sexiness. It feels youthful and unpracticed yet somehow polished and sophisticated and extremely precise. Timeless.

Selfishness like it's a new virtue now set in every aspect of life . That anyone needs a little boost they are hard to find it . If you now live in a nice neighborhood you do see much good I assume , but for me thar was becoming the good ole days of actually before even 2019 and further way back . During Covid things went south and being respectful to another is like gone almost . Like if the bad ones win the day . Sorty for the pessimistic words but I meant as a observation.

I am sure she looks great for her age and all but she's heavily made up here make up wise . Unless she had plastic surgery but I dobut it . Not a critisim of her at all she just had a bit of help . Sadly the entertainment industry has always been fickle .

shlibber Oh I don't deny that . But she had the help of a good make up artist here as well .

Haha! I remember trying to dance along to this when I was younger. I'd put cushions on the floor just to do headstands against the sofa. XD

As a Michael who was alive in the 80s I can confirm this is 100% accurate.

Yeah you were a Michael during the whole oh Mickey phase. You were not a Mickey.

@@MamaMOB I feel like you may have missed the joke... It isn't the 80s anymore and people don't call me Mickey anymore. However I am genuinely curious, What is your motivation for trying to be an azhole at this moment? I'm a nice person who made a comment that a whole lot of people think was funny. Why are you trying to do the opposite? I genuinely want to understand your motivation.

@@MeCooper Why the fuck were they calling you "Mickey" anyway? "Mikey", sure, go eat your Wheaties, but I've never seen a "Michael" who went by "Mickey."
