1500+ Filipino Prisoners Perform Michael Jackson’s Thriller
July 27th, 2007 by Michael KwanSay what you will about Michael Jackson, but “Thriller” was easily one of the coolest songs of its time and it came with one incredibly awesome music video. “Thriller” was one of the first music videos that actually played out like a movie, rather than just a fan video at a live concert.
I know the question — what would “Thriller” look like if it was played out by 1500+ Filipino prisoners? — was never asked, but that didn’t stop a huge group of inmates from answering it. What you see below are CPDRC inmates of the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center in Cebu, Philippines. Craziness. And get this: the performance was voluntary and not a punishment.

haha ridiculous, what next? “American’s Top Prisoner Idol”? At least they got to have some fun.
That was awsome!
I tink Prisioner Idol could work
Well done, but it’s almost like a recruitment video for prison. Commit a crime, be in a music video! Not sure what to think now…
Man, they did a pretty good job! I wonder how long they practiced for this…LOL! Thanks for posting the video, I had heard about it but never got around to checking it out!
