Check it out. Mexico City just broke the Guinness World Record for more people dancing Thriller at the same time! It still needs to be confirmed but the previous record was just over 200 people and these were almost 12,000!

Do you think it was a good tribute to MJ on what would have been his birthday?

I saw a part of the rehearsal on MTV earlier (and I don't even bother watching that channel any more). A lot of people, even kids, dancing to Thriller. Great tribute.

I think the news got it wrong. Yeah, there were over 11,000 people there but, the ones that were dancing were very few. Boomer, to break the record they needed the people dancing to the choreography of the song not just standing there filming.
