Vincent kicks off the clip doing his best Jackson impersonation, which, as "SPIN" notes, could use some work. But for the rest of the video, it is smooth sailing for the singer.

  • New Book Claims that John F. Kennedy Jr. Had an Affair with a Married Woman that Jackie Kennedy Hated: Madonna

    It is kind of hard to believe that it has been 15 years since John F. Kennedy Jr.'s plane flew off course, resorting in a crash landing that killed himself, his wife Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and her sister Lauren Bessette. More often than not, when JFK Jr. is discussed it is in connection to his fiery marriage or his thriving career before his death. It is almost easy to forget about how popular and active he was before he settled into the role of being a responsible, married man. A new book, "The Good Son: JFK Jr. and the Mother He Loved" by Christopher Andersen, is about to remind fans of the Kennedys what JFK Jr.'s earlier years were like, and it takes a close look at his relationship with Jackie Kennedy through the years. One semi-surprise Andersen reveals is JFK Jr.'s romance with Madonna and the lousy job the two did of keeping it under wraps while she was still married to Sean Penn. Jackie Kennedy was no fan of Madonna either, as she reminded her of Marilyn Monroe.
