Jackson Flashmob Tributes

After last week's impressive flashmob tributes to Michael Jackson in Stockholm, this past weekend it was Amsterdam's turn to dance like zombies.

At Leidseplein, Museumplein, and a bridge near the Keizersgracht, huge groups of random people turned out at a pre-determined time to do a 2 minute Thriller dance. It was all white gloves, mirror sunglasses, and red jackets as professional and amateur dancers got into the spirit.

This being Amsterdam, there was no shortage of camera's to capture the moment, and thanks to internet buzz, several television stations were on hand to capture the flashmob, which is normally carried out without the knowledge of mainstream media.

Here's one of the better videos from this past weekend for your viewing enjoyment:

Michael Jackson has been unquestionably one of the best artists in history. I even now can't believe he's gone.
