In this weird video, a French comedienne transforms herself into Michael Jackson with just some mascara, lipstick, and scotch tape.

    At least people are remembering Michael in their own way. I’m happy for that. I enjoyed “This Is It”, too and I’m looking forward to “Gone Too Soon” the upcoming documentary on MJ’s last days.

    Ever noticed how many people use WAY too much toothpaste? Blame the TV ads.

    Yech, does she also hand out millions of dollars in hush money to keep little boys quiet?

  • General Specific

    Don’t know what possessed her to discover that she could do this, but I’m glad she did.

    I’m glad I saw this on Digg first, without the spoiler headline. Seriously, the surprise is the best thing about this video, and your headline ruins that. Tsk tsk!

  • Felton

    As for the video, I think it’s adorable.

    “They kept singing…” Figures I’d misspell one of the English words.

  • VICTOR JIMENEZ

    Just one acronym: LOL!

    Strangely, her transformation into Michael Jackson was much easier and less invasive than his was.

  • absimiliard

    Bwahahahahaha!!!!!eleven!!!1!!

    -abs really likes this, though he can’t quite put his finger on why exactly it is that it’s so awesome

  • vanyelgh

    First I laughed, then I wondered why.

  • lyd

    Weird. Scary. Cute.

    Not necessarily in that order.

  • weatherman

    I know she’s French and all, but I think that she could have at least bothered to get the lyrics right.

    • arkizzle / Moderator

      No, that’s what makes anyone singing a song in a non-native tongue hilarious!

      C’mon, did you never try to sing along to LaBamba? If you don’t speak Spanish, you sounded pretty much like this woman.

      • Anonymous

        Or the “One Ton of Tomatoes” song?

      • Felton

        I’ve been singing this for years without knowing what the hell I’m saying. I’m sure a native speaker would laugh his/her ass off if they heard me. :-)

        Actually, my Spanish teacher taught my classmates and me the lyrics to La Bamba when I was a teenager, but most of the other students didn’t believe that the lyrics were actually “para bailar la bamba.” The kept singing “lalalala la bamba.”

        • arkizzle / Moderator

          Felton, yes! Exactly :)

          I too love the song you linked.. This is my similar one:
