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

First I laughed, then I wondered why.

Weird. Scary. Cute.

Not necessarily in that order.

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

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.

Ha! that's funny. Still like Alien Ant Farm's cover better. :D

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

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!

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."

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

"They kept singing..." Figures I'd misspell one of the English words.

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

Or the "One Ton of Tomatoes" song?

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.
