If you didn’t happen to catch Oprah yesterday, have I got a sight for you!
For Oprah’s 24th season opener, her staff surprised her with an amazing sight – a choreographed dance that 20,000 people on Michigan Avenue in Chicago performed to the Black Eyed Pea’s “I’ve got a feeling”. It was one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen!
Take a look for yourself….
Award winning director, Michael Gracey, whose work includes the dancing babies commercial for Evian and T-Mobile, pulled this off brilliantly!
It really makes my heart grow to see such harmony and togetherness between so many people. I’ve never seen anything like it.
I think the only thing, in my mind, that compares is the 1971 Coke commercial, “I’d like to buy the world a coke“. Yes, it’s not quite the same thing, but it is one of the best commercials of all time and shows the same type of team work and togetherness.
To echo America’s most famous talk show host’s words at the end of the performance of the largest flash mob in history, ” this is the coolest thing ever!”!
Really, what we would do without Oprah?
Flash mobs are sooo cool! Thanks for sharing!

They really are!!
I have a friend…that is the Godfather of my Goddaugher he was there!!! He has his own video (on his cell) and he says it was crazy…Fun! People in the back were just able to pick up the steps and all chimed in.
That was put the dance together the day before with a huge crowd. they grabbed people on the street and taught them the dance and even told them what color shirt to wear the next day so it would look cool for the camera.
Oprah had no clue U cn tell it was all over her face. I was gonna post this on my blog back in October when I found out and forgot.
DIDN’T you know Chicago can Kicks butt when it comes to dancing?

Can you imagine the energy that was in that crowd? Wow…I am so bummed that I was not there…you could feel it through the video…thanks for sharing!

You can feel that energy just through the video! I’ve watched it about 10 times (my 19mo old LOVES it!) and I get chills and tear up everytime!
That’s pretty insane how that got pulled off!
