Hollywood Tonight

Last updated

The song received generally positive reviews from music critics. Teddy Riley, the producer said, "I was looking at just doing the next level of 'Billie Jean' meets 'Dangerous' or 'Leave Me Alone'. It's like one of those driving bass lines that you will remember." [9] Joe Vogel of The Huffington Post stated that the song was "definitely an album highlight. The song begins with a haunting Gothic church choir, before transforming into an energetic dance stomper", and that the track "features Michael in a notably deeper voice, and concludes with military-style whistling." [10] Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly said the song "feels leaner and more urgent, crackling with Jackson's trademark percussive shuffle and pop." [11] Dan Martin of NME called the album Michael "not as terrible as you may think", and "the worst thing you can say about 'Hollywood Tonight' is that its catchy signature gets annoying after a while." [12] Jason Lipshutz, Gail Mitchell and Gary Graff from Billboard thought the song "sounds like Britney Spears' 'Lucky' crossed with Justin Timberlake's 'LoveStoned'." [9] Neil McCormick of Daily Telegraph said, "it has the extraordinary confidence of a pop classic and presages an album that may well be Jackson's best work since his Eighties glory days." [1] Jim Farber of the Daily News praised "Hollywood Tonight" for exhibiting Jackson's "old verve." [13] Gerard McGarry of Shout! Music Magazine stated that "while this single doesn't quite touch on the greatness of classic Jackson tracks, it does recall that infectious disco groove that used to be his trademark. There's a strong 80's vibe to 'Hollywood Tonight'—even the female dancer in the video looks like a young Brooke Shields, who Michael was linked to in the 80's." [14]

Negative review comes from Carl Cortez of Assignment X for the "throwback mix" on 7-inch single and music video, he said the mix is "a little sharper than the original, but again, the song really isn't all that good. Another previously unreleased B-side or even the original demo might have been more interesting." [15]

Chart performance

"Hollywood Tonight" was released as the second single from the album, Michael, in most territories. Due to the massive airplay on BBC Radio 2 in the United Kingdom, the song debuted at number 38 on The UK Radio Airplay Chart on Week 7, 2011 (from February 13 to February 19, 2011), and peaked at number 35 on Week 8, 2011 (from February 20 to February 26, 2011). [16]

In the United States, the song debuted at number 89 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart for the week ending April 16, 2011, marking Jackson's 52nd solo hit on this chart, [17] and peaked at number 60. [18] It debuted at number 36 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart for the week ending April 30, 2011, [19] [20] and on June 11, 2011, it became Jackson's first number-one hit on the chart since his 1995 hit "Scream" [21] [22] and his 13th overall as a solo artist. [23]

Music video

Jackson's official website announced a music video for Hollywood Tonight. While expected originally to be released at the end of February, it was later pushed back to March 10, 2011. A 19-second sneak preview of the video was made available on Jackson's official Facebook page. [24] On March 10, as expected the full video [25] was released with a new mix called "Throwback Mix", featuring alternate demo vocals without autotune, sampling the beat of "Billie Jean" and removing the spoken word bridge. [26]

The video was directed by Wayne Isham, [27] who previously directed the video for Jackson's 1995 number-one hit "You Are Not Alone". [28] It was shot in front of the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood, California. [29]

The lead dancer in the video is Sofia Boutella, [27] who wears an outfit inspired by Jackson's stage costumes. More than 60 dancers performed a Jackson-inspired routine as seen in a video posted by TMZ. The video revolves around a young woman arriving in Hollywood, vying to become a known dancer. [28] It also includes images of Jackson from the music videos for "Black or White", "Billie Jean", "Jam", "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" and "In the Closet". [14]
