墨西哥歌迷共跳Thriller創世界記錄

墨西哥城 — 他們說beat it.

成千上萬的墨西哥人打破了一項世界紀錄——最多人同跳“thriller”，在星期六MJ51歲生日當天。
“我們做到了”，組織者賈維爾·希爾達戈向數千名戴著黑色軟呢帽、白手套、蛤蟆鏡以及做化裝成僵屍的歌迷大喊，在試圖重現1983年開創新mv情景之後有些喘不過氣來。
他們成功了嗎？吉尼斯紀錄將在一周內進行裁定
目前的記錄誕生於5月，由242名威廉及瑪麗學院的學生在維吉尼亞州的威廉斯堡創造，並被載入了吉尼斯世界紀錄
希爾達戈聲稱有12937人在週六聚集在墨西哥城的革命紀念碑前，由一名身穿紅色夾克的MJ模仿者領舞。
但是吉尼斯必須證明是否真的有這麼多人在一起跳舞。模仿者赫克托·傑克遜，以及前排絕大部分擁擠在一起的人看上去非常棒。
“比我們想像中的人多了許多“赫克托·傑克遜說，”墨西哥人給MJ的致敬是世界上最棒的”

Did Mexico beat it? Fans go for 'Thriller' record

By ISTRA PACHECO (AP) – 36 minutes ago

MEXICO CITY — They say they beat it.

Thousands of Mexicans claimed they broke the record for most people dancing to "Thriller" on Saturday, which would have been Michael Jackson's 51st birthday.

"We did it!" organizer Javier Hildago shouted to thousands of people wearing black fedoras, white gloves, aviator shades and ghoulish face paint, breathless after trying to recreate the groundbreaking 1983 video.

Did they? The Guinness Book of World Records will decide in a week.

The current record was set in May by a group of 242 College of William & Mary students who performed the routine in Williamsburg, Virginia, according to Guinness.

Hildago claimed 12,937 people danced Saturday in front of Mexico City's Monument of the Revolution, led by a Michael Jackson impersonator wearing a red-and-gold sequined jacket.

But Guinness must certify whether all those people really performed the entire, intricate routine. The impersonator, who goes by the name Hector Jackson, and most of those in front of a huge crowd of onlookers certainly looked pretty good.

"More people responded than we even imagined!" Hector Jackson said. "Mexico gave the best tribute in the world to Michael Jackson."

Some of those who took part were born more than two decades after "Thriller" was released.

Guillermo Rodriguez, 2, wore a wig of dreadlocks, a black fedora and a white glove as he practiced the moves minutes before the event, holding up a cell phone that blared a recording of the song into his ear.

His father, Guillermo Rodriguez Sr., is not a huge fan himself. But he said his son has become mesmerized by the Jackson videos that Mexican television have often played since the pop icon died June 25.

"Michael Jack!" the toddler screeched, pointing a chubby, un-gloved finger at a Jackson T-shirt held up by a nearby hawker.
