A young woman tries to make it in the competitive dance industry in the video for "Hollywood Tonight" off the posthumous album from the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson. The clip follows the woman through the Hollywood, California who signs up for dance auditions as well as her job as a waitress (and as a stripper?). She goes on to be chosen at the audition, transforms into a close replica of Michael, moonwalks along Hollywood Boulevard which she then makes her way to the famous Pantages Theater where her and a bunch of people bust out into the dance choreography to Michael's "Scream" video. In fact, the entire video borrows dance moves from the videos to some of Michael's most popular hit singles. Genius.
