Michael Jackson Flash Mob Hollywood & Highland

The air was thick and overflowing with an unknown energy, yet no one knew what was about to hit them...

At 2pm Pacific Time on Saturday, July 25th, the spirit of Michael Jackson took Hollywood by surprise. Over 200 dancers emerged from all over LA, as well as the world, to pay homage to MJ with an impromptu 'Beat It' tribute dance. Many tourists and spectators were caught off guard and pleasantly surprised.

Although he has passed, MJ lives on, thriving in both spirit and in his memories. His fans fight to secure his place in pop culture history, by expressing their gratitude in many creative ways. Conroe Brooks decided to team up with Jennie Widegren, flash mob creator, to develop a truly memorable Hollywood experience.

The crowd immediately gravitated towards both MJ's music and the dancers' rhythm, like a young child does with a death defying roller-coaster. They held on tight, screamed at the top of their lungs, and enjoyed the ride of a lifetime. Albeit short, the adrenaline rush as packed full of highs, lows, and plenty of cheers. Shortly thereafter, dancers' duties were done, as they walked back to their daily lives and decided to 'Beat It'. -Stephen Seidel, Renegade Reporting

Finding Neverland: My Visit to Thru MJ's Gates



Renegade Reporting's Stephen Seidel joins Drew Studio in the Opening of Neverland Ranch's Gates and the Revival of its Floral Decoration.

 

Wreaths once covered with flowers have been transformed into a massive vigil for the ‘King of Pop’, Michael Jackson. Renegade Reporting, RR, and Drew Studio plant new beginnings for both MJ and his legacy. Neverland is overflowing with fans looking for any possible way to grieve for the icon's death.

 

Three hours north of Los Angeles, the Gates of Neverland stay closed as fans across the world mourn the loss of Michael. Flowers, signs, gloves, and tons of other memorabilia have been placed at the gates. Many stand motionless at the gates, as if expecting Michael Jackson himself to rise from the dirt in another spectacular performance. However, his music continues to play, the flowers pile higher and higher, but there’s no Michael and no end in sight.

 

As we arrived, the fans grew excited in anticipation, as if they had been waiting for something to happen. We removed the old weather torn wreaths and began to replace with luscious rose petal filled flowers, just in time for Michael's memorial. This brought new life and energy into the surrounding crowd.

 

Fans cheered with excitement when each wreath was placed in its place and waited for their opportunity to take part in history. Each individual snapped away and cemented this experience into their hearts and minds forever. MJ has created yet another memory in his supporters.

 

Earlier today, there was an air of uncertainty at Neverland, which grew more optimistic and enthusiastic with the final positioning of Michael's Memorial Day wreaths.

 

The fans are finally ready to say goodbye. They have said their thanks, prayers, praises and are finally able to accept the truth of the matter. The King of Pop has left us with many reminders of his true talented gift, whether it is: one silver glove, high water socks with shiny loafers, signature dance moves, A-B-C it’s as easy as 1-2-3, you name it.

 

The Legend of Pop is flying high with his signature weightless moonwalk, while he walks his way into Musical History.
