NEW YORK (AP) - July 1, 2009
Sixteen-year-old Mike Rios was the first to demonstrate his
moves when the Harlem theater's doors opened Wednesday night. The
Elizabeth, N.J., boy wore a Jackson-inspired red jacket and pants.
He grooved to Jackson's "Bad." The crowd cheered. A female
audience member jumped on stage.
The Amateur Night show also features a moonwalking contest. And
celebrity impersonator C.P. Lacey is paying homage to the pop
legend, who died last week at age 50.
Hundreds of people lined up outside before the show.
The event follows Tuesday's Apollo memorial service. Thousands
of fans including director Spike Lee watched a video tribute and
danced to Jackson's songs.
