The Mavid Dances
A few weeks into the American Idols Live tour David Cook and Michael Johns, both of whom warned that they were the prankster of the group, decided to improvise dance moves in the otherwise choreographed rendition of “Please Don’t Stop the Music.” It started innocent enough, a few break-dance moves, but it has quickly escalated to the most important question asked about the concert. They’ve imitated Mama Mia’s dances, mimed baseball games, and even reenacted the “Jack I’m Flying scene from Titanic.
Here’s a sampling on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKuprt8utes
There were a few days when they were told by the AI hirer ups that there was to be no more of this silliness but then 3 days later, it was back and Johns said “we won.”
As one person put on David-cook.org “I can see next year’s Idol contract having a few ‘You will not mess with the choreography on tour, you will not get in cohoots with a very silly Australian man and invent strange dances, you will not get the other idols in on your schemes and encourage them to mess around on stage as well’ clauses”
