I don't understand why, but every band booked for MJ seems to be unable to actually play music you'd want to MJ to. It's not like it's impossible - there are bands who play music of a suitable style and tempo. But they don't seem to be the ones who actively market themselves as "dance bands".
I AGREE! But you forgot to mention that they play music too fast
