Corey Feldman sang his new song “Go 4 It” on NBC’s “Today” show Friday morning, and his performance was, uh, well, let’s just let Twitter do the judging for us, since his name quickly started trending after the segment aired.

Feldman, famous for roles in “The Goonies,” “Stand by Me” and “Gremlins,” appeared on “Today” to promote his new album, “Angelic 2 the Core,” with “Corey’s Angels” in tow, providing the music for Feldman to sing and dance to. The record is dedicated to Michael Jackson, who seems to have inspired Feldman’s choreography, too.
“It’s kind of a similar stye of dance, because we grew up dancing together. And he was my idol, obviously,” Feldman said before dancing his way to the mic. His moves, however, didn’t go over so well with viewers.
Corey Feldman may be trying to channel Michael Jackson a little bit too much. #creepy #TodayShow

I’m not psychologically prepared to deal with a Michael Jackson impersonation by Corey Feldman circa 2016, no thanx.

Corey Feldman just performed on the Today Show. If only MNight Shyamalan could come up with a new movie twist as good as 2016.
