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

But to be fair, not everyone took to Twitter to bash the performance — a number of people were just happy to see Feldman was still alive.

I have to give kudos to the EP @todayshow…they knew Corey Feldman would be terrible but perfect for their web clicks.

Corey Feldman just performed on the Today Show.
If only MNight Shyamalan could come up with a new movie twist as good as 2016.— Laurie Crosswell (@lauriecrosswell) September 16, 2016
I don't know, I sort of like this possessed-Grim-Reaper-marionette phase of Corey Feldman's career.

I panicked when I saw Corey Feldman trending, because losing him this year is not an option, universe.
