I got the MJ vibe too, but that was fine by me because I'm a huge fan of MJ's original stuff. Saw him in concert in 1997 and up until seeing Mika it was the best performance ever!
As for the whole Mad Hatter thing, what the hell were people thinking? I never thought it was the Mad Hatter, clearly Circus ringleader!
This Alice in Wonderland thing has got to stop!
