      Unfortunately, AAF wasn't very good. They were known really only for this cover of Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal. They tried to keep it going with their own stuff, but it wasn't good and they broke up.
      You should check out the Todd in the Shadows - One Hit Wonderland episode on them.
      As for someone I would love for you to check out - Paula Abdul - My Love Is For Real.

    I've described this video in the past as a love letter to Michael and my opinion has never changed. From the kid dancing in a mask, to the drummer's single glove, the glove chair with a baby chimp, the girl in the werewolf mask, the light-up sidewalk, the exploding car, the Thriller dance guys, the dude with the Thriller eyes at the end, etc. It feels like I find another reference to Michael every time I watch this video. It's just so damn good at everything it tries to do.

    I'm the drummer's mother and yes I am partial, but it's so evident by everyone's reaction, I ask myself ,
    how is it possible for them to be so underrated and unnoticed for so long?
    These boys are musicians. their live shows are amazing, why they have a big following especially in Europe. They're so creative and talented, I promise you I don't care what genre of music or artist you listen to, whether it be Michael Jackson all the way down to Sade I promise you, there is going to be 1 or more songs you like.
    They are not mainstream, They're so creative and humble & the definition of perseverance especially after the bus crash in Spain. They had just played Jay Leno after 9/11 they were promoting anthology. They're all lucky to be alive. Took them many years to recover Dryden was inches from being like Christopher Reeve and in fear of never being able to sing again. With that coupled with less or no promoting & airplay you basically don't exist hence why you never heard of.
    There are so many talented bands that have slipped through the cracks as a result of the industry only giving airplay to the mainstream therefore deciding for us what to listen to. I don't care how bad a song is, played enough, 2 things will happen , either it's irritating or you love it & their banking on the latter.
    So much more, if you get a chance, pull up the video "These days"
    Fromthe BET Awards what's funny is my son used to play with Snoop Dogg we lived next door to one another ,their paths have yet to cross.
    Thank you so much for all the good words and the rest of you for all the good comments.
    By the way I stumbled on this, I'm a huge Blondie fan and loved watching y'alls reaction. Check out 311 great musicians.

I am a very old school (that just means I'm an old man) and I used to wonder why anyone would want to watch someone else react to something. But being a musician myself I have come to understand that this helps get otherwise unknown music to people who would not have seen it.

    A fun back story -- my sister was an RRT, and a registered CPR instructor. The practice dummy is known as Resusci-Annie. Students are told to shake the dummy's shoulder and ask, "Annie, are you okay?" Evidently MJ knew about or had taken a CPR class, and and used that phrase in the refrain of the song. You're an absolute delight, Mr. Leo. Keep doing what you're doing. ♥

    Alright.. let's pull out the easter eggs for ya!
    1:27 and 1:46 The kid is wearing a mask, like how Michael wore one later on in life. And if you notice, he's roughly the same age Michael was when they started with the Jackson 5.
    2:05 and 3:31 the lean. Everyone catches that.
    3:50 The girl is in a high school letterman's jacket and wearing a wolf mask. Throwback to Thriller when Michael changed into the werewolf.
    4:15 and 4:19 shoutout to the four dads from the TV show "King of the Hill"
    4:21 to 4:30 Drummers may wear gloves to protect the senses in their hands from going numb from the drumsticks. Note that the drummer here is only wearing 1 glove on his right hand. The same hand that Michael wore his glove on.
    5:28 He's sitting with a chimpanzee. The chimp is wearing a diaper, like Bubbles, Michael's chimp, did.
    5:37 The sidewalk lights up wherever they are stepping. Throwback to Billie Jean.
    6:00 Straight from the extended version of the video for Black or White. Michael jumped on the car, did that, and then destroyed the car.
    6:08: King of the hill guys with the Thriller moves.
    6:12 Michael always stood on that vent to have the air blow up from under him. Here you go.
    6:22 to 6:36 More throwback to Billie Jean. Everything Michael touched lit up.
    9:00 Throwback to the end of Thriller, when Michael turned back toward the camera and had the werewolf eyes.
    Good stuff in this video!

    In an interview with the band, they said they had trouble replicating MJ secret weapon in all his songs, the way MJ used his voice. The way MJ sang he created a second percussion which created an additional hook in the song which made his songs so catchy. I think AAF did well with it, it's a fun cover.
