Michael Jackson Fans Fired Up Worldwide — New European Commercial

[video=youtube;tox5QCKWN0c]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tox5QCKWN0c[/video]

Michael Jackson is still making headlines years after his death due to his fans that keep fanning the flames of his intense popularity. In America, the recent news about Michael Jackson pertains to his possible teenage romance with Maureen McCormick — better known as Marcia Brady from the television show, The Brady Bunch. However, outside of America, remembering Michael Jackson takes several forms — and one of them is a hilarious commercial.

In England, Michael Jackson recently won an award in 2015 for “Earth Song.” Michael Jackson is also remembered regularly due to the Thriller Live show at the Lyric in London’s West End. Is the show any good? It turns out that it is entertaining, well-done, and possibly a little comical.

The Mirror UK recently wrote up a review of the Michael Jackson London show and said, “Thriller Live! features a live band, as well as a procession of Michael Jackson look-a-likes and sound-a-likes through different stages of his career from his time performing with the Jackson 5 through to his mega-successful solo career.”

In Brazil, they also celebrate Michael Jackson by hosting impersonators. In particular, the musical show “The Ultimate Michael Jackson Tribute Band” is regularly performed in Brazil by the Michael Jackson cover band, Who’s Bad. Diario De Pernambuco says Who’s Bad is from Chapel Hill, North Carolina and that they cover all four decades of Michael Jackson’s career.

They also say Who’s Bad is wildly popular for covering the famed Michael Jackson and has played, “more than 700 shows in several countries.” And those tickets aren’t cheap! The Michael Jackson cover band that is particularly popular in Brazil charges each person at least R$120 per seat (about $40) for their seats to the show.

In Spain, the big news about Michael Jackson is a new commercial that features the talent of the singer mixed with a popular Portuguese player from the soccer team, Real Madrid. According to SDP Noticas, the Michael Jackson-related commercial was produced for CR7 footwear sales for the designer, Cristiano Ronaldo. In the commercial, the soccer player is dancing to Michael Jackson with smooth moves that Michael Jackson was known for.

Written in several languages, the comments below the video of the Michael Jackson CR7 commercial prove what we already know — Michael Jackson is eternally famous worldwide now and forever! Fans particularly loved seeing the soccer player doing The Moonwalk along with covering other famous Michael Jackson dances from several key chapters of his career.

What award has he just won for Earth Song?

Michael Jackson's controversial rendition of Earth Song has been voted the top BRIT Awards performance of all time in a new poll. The King of Pop performed his hit track at the U.K. awards show in 1996, dancing in front of a wind machine and hanging from a crane surrounded by dancers dressed in rags, and the set became headline news when it was gatecrashed by Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker. The rocker jumped on stage and made a series of rude gestures as a protest against the music superstar before being removed by security guards. The memorable moment has now been voted the Most Iconic BRIT Awards performance of all time in a poll by MasterCard, the show's sponsor. Jackson's Earth Song came out on top, followed by Adele's performance of Someone Like You in 2011 in second place and the Spice Girls' rendition of Who Do You Think You Are in 1997 in third. The late Bad hitmaker also topped the company's poll to find the album Brits would most like to see performed live, with Thriller ahead of Fleetwood Mac's Rumours and Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon in second and third respectively.

This is so American, LOL. Referring to probably the most famous athlete in the world right now as "a popular Portuguese player from the soccer team Real Madrid". :D
 
I think its great that people are recognizing just how big his fame is WORLDWIDE. Keep it going!

You beat me to it. Ha-ha. I guess the fact that he was also signed with Manchester United for somewhere around 12 million quid isn't a big deal either? Or that he debuted for Portugal at 18, and just so happened to become captain of the team (which comes in handy for minor tournaments, like oh say, World Cup, which they happen to do pretty well at) ... :doh:
 
what am i supposed to be fired up about?
misleading thread title is misleading.
 
lol this is ridiculous. A misleading click bait article written by an overzealous fan, and the thread title is deceitful as hell. The commercial has nothing to do with MJ outside of a few nods to some of his signature dance moves.
 
Thought it was gonna be a snippet reel of fans from the 1988 BAD Tour... misleading title indeed.

What I meant was that soccer is such a small sport in the US that most Americans don't even realise how famous CR7 is all over the world. You could go to any random village in Africa or Iran or Japan and people will know who CR7 (or Messi for that matter) is. But in this article they even have to explain that CR7 is a soccer player :D
