SINGAPORE -- If you thought you had to be famous or a VIP to get on stage to dance with Madonna, there is hope for us all yet.

During the Queen of Pop's Singapore performance on Sunday, Hamzah Alsagoff shot to Internet fame when he was picked to join Madonna on stage for her finale dance.

He first credited his outfit which consisted of booty shorts, thigh-high patent boots and a T-shirt that said: "I was straight until Madonna saved me."

"The crowd marshals were pretty laxed and because I was dressed to kill, they were too intimidated to stop me," wrote Alsagoff.

"I would crawl on the rows of seats, careful not to squash the Chanel 2.55s that littered within VIP," he added.

A screenshot of the cleverly-written post shows how big a fan Alsagoff was of the Grammy award-winning singer. There were references to her songs such as "Unapologetic Bitch" and "La Isla Bonita" in it.

Judging from Alsagoff's twerking skills, he completely held his own and looked every bit the professional dancer.

One concert-goer Sandra Cameron told Mashable: "I even thought Hamzah was one of her backup dancers wearing a different outfit!"
