POLL: Vote MJ's TII Band as best performance

Please go to George Lopez' Lopez Tonight poll to vote for MJ's This is It band's performance of MJ's Man in the Mirror as #1.  You can vote as many times as you want. 

UPDATE:  They are currently #3. #1.  #2 to Pitbull.  Back to #1 (yay...ty PattiAnn & Velvet & Volos & Renata & NYTram) Looks like we have some competition with Pitbull fans.  PLEASE KEEP VOTING

UPDATE 2:  We have a little comfortable lead right now (thank you thank you PattiAnn and Velvet, Velvet and Renata!) so let's help get Orianthi in the #2 spot! Stinks she's in the same alpha as MJ's TII -- but I'm sure MJ would want her up there too.

UPDATE 3:  My first look today -- This is it Band with 2100 and Ori had 834.  Just now, TII with 2122 and Ori 900.  So keep voting.  (lol, and yes, it IS addicting!)  See my tips in comments below.  If you have any, please let us know!

Thanks for all your votes!  Please share with #MJFam.

One for all..and all for one.... (and two).  For MJ.
