"Hollywood Tonight" Michael Jackson

"Hollywood Tonight" is a 2011 #1 dance charted California song by the King of Pop Michael Jackson from the hit album, Michael.

Written by Michael Jackson, Brad Buxer and Teddy Riley in Los Angeles, "Hollywood Tonight" was co-produced by Theron Feemster and Teddy Riley, and the song's bridge was sung by Michael's nephew, Taryll Jackson.

Algerian dancer Sofia Boutella stars in the video about a young woman arriving in Hollywood, struggling to become a famous dancer, who starts a spontaneous Michael Jackson flash mob on Hollywood Boulevard.

The "Hollywood Tonight" music video was directed by Wayne Isham and was filmed on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in front of the Pantages Theatre.

The song begins with an Enigma-like Gregorian chant, then kicks into an 1983 dance groove, where "Billie Jean" meets "Caribbean Queen".

The King of Pop's contribution to songs about California is a total Tinseltown groove with a hook that sticks into the brain.

Rockin' to "Hollywood Tonight" by Michael Jackson at full volume is cool enough, but the song really becomes transcendent on a night club dance floor under the lights with onlookers recognizing one's Hollywoodness.
