In the first season they danced to Thriller. Then this season the first audition was another They don't really care about us, and now Beat It (yes it was cover version but still MJ).

Is there a reason for this?

Not a patch on Diversity and Flawless anyway

Dunno, but that was fantastic just now.

Was pretty meh I thought

It was big, bold, passionate, fun...

Doing aerobics to michael jackson while done up like the joker - WTF?

Would it be overly cynical to suggest these 2 theories:

1: MD, along with several other BGT dancers are angling for an invite to be involved in Jackson's O2 gigs later in the year (which would be fairly pontless since anyone with any sense can see they'll be either cancelled or a total shambles)

2: Cowell is desperate to get Jackson to appear as a guest on X Factor later this year, and so is making sure its sister show presents him as "Jackson-friendly.

You call that dance!

Wouldn't be surprised if Number 2 was true although I doubt that he's intentionally making his shows 'Jackson-friendly' - his music just tends to be quite popular.

Ohhhhhhhhh, that was dancing was it? Thought they'd overdosed on Red Bull.

Lol!!!!

Well said!
