Michael Flatley Lord of the dance

[TrystamShandy]

Oh god!!! I'm an Irish dancer, and my cheeks are burning. Michael Flatley looks like a completely narcissistic fool prancing around up there. IDC how much he's made ID famous. I'm ashamed to watch this.

[KeikokuUrahara]

@TrystamShandy Pathetic trash, you're just jealous of how awesomeness.

[TrystamShandy]

@KeikokuUrahara Jealous..?  Yeah, I don't think so. Michael Flatley is a very talented dancer. Prob. one of the best. But I'm not jealous. And I wouldn't dance like that for a million dollars. And considering the way fame has obviously gone to his head, I don't really want that either.

[iSteven00]

I used to dance like that....but then I took an arrow in the knee

[Skinkie22]

chandler we are all scared

[SlytherinGirl895]

this is from FEET OF FLAMES not Lord of the Dance

[rosietroy]

He is the best and always will be..

[lundhlundh]

@026Pascal Lord of the dance. The dubliners did a pretty good version of it.

[TheStrikepike]

i realy dont get it so fast amazing

[mattbator]

thats cool

[gnomieeee]

i always remember watching this when i was little, me and my sister used to have lessons and watch this on video hahaha :)

[samooskhka]

@gnomieeee ha ha ha.. that was sooooooooooo fucking funny. Can you tell me in your Stephen Hawking voice because reading it here didn't bore me enough.

[xIH4ZZA]

@samooskhka Go away troll, I use to do the same...

[gnomieeee]

@samooskhka wasn't meant to be funny, just a good memory.. no need for the mean comment :s

[widowmakerqwert31]

Wow, no wonder this creeps out Chandler

[GeneralCanal]

O coś takiego mogłoby być na mistrzostwach.

[MadFlamer]

HIS LEGS FLAIL ABOUT AS IF INDEPENDENT FROM HIS BODY!

[impissedful]

love this thing...

but also.. good god... i bet he gets alot of lets say.. "cats" with all those ass penis smooching going around on sets

[csipkebogyo46]

Flatley megismertette és megszeretette a világgal az ir zenét és táncot.

[rosamaryful]

I LOVE IT!! I LOVE IT!! I LOVE IT!!

I am one black person who really LOVES this!!!

[hamefurgid]

Saw the latest Lord of the dance show last night in Edinburgh. Wouldn't take anything away from the talent of the dancers but in my view the whole thing isn't a patch on Riverdance which I have also seen on a number of occasions. Too much like a pantomime, flashing lights, silly special effects, posturing from the male lead dancer (good training there from Michael "flatterme") and not nearly enough actual dancing. Roll on next Riverdance show.

[korky5214]

Michael has all the right to be big headed pompus "whatever" wish I could have done what he did. Brilliant absolutly Brilliant.

[charlosgibson]

this is cool

[Kernow1947]

:)

[coldmountain888]

What a big headed wanker mick flatley is, but dont know why hes so big headed...

[budaaron]

@coldmountain888 All you need to do is look at the audience reaction. Is he pompous... Hell yes but he's also a GREAT entertainer and - in my view - entitled to be pompous!!!

[TheGrahamDillon]

Most disgusting thing I've seen... What a fruitcake. They're talented but do they have to rape Irish dance culture like that?!

[MissMaybellen]

wow that wannabe rock star is really full of himself

[swift4o]

tap dancing is probably the hardest type of dance ever created

[jessgirlnz]

This part of the show always gives me goosebumps! I don't know how these dancers have the energy to do it! I did Irish dancing just socially for a year and that was hard enough!

[MrTomtom221]

whos here because of F.R.I.E.N.D.S

[xBecca16]

@MrTomtom221 Friends ?? why ?? Oo

[MrTomtom221]

@xBecca16 the irish jig guy... HIS LEGS FLALE ABOUT AS INDEPENDANT FROM HIS BODYY ... HAHAHAAA

[xBecca16]

@MrTomtom221 Yes ! I found it later x) But in french it's not like that haha I love that Episode <3

[mdr279]

@MrTomtom221 OMG YES!

[EnvysGirl01]

I like the music and the dancing, but I just can't stand Michael Flatley

[Bizzylizzy9000]

this scares the bajeezus out of me 

[MyHeartWasForgotten]

He's such a conceited ass.

[CahillandDelene]

@MyHeartWasForgotten Yes, but he does know how to dance! :)

[solojuve1897]

What's so special about this? Dont get it.

[CahillandDelene]

@solojuve1897 This video is of the encore. Watch some of the other dances from start to finish. It takes an incredible amount of energy, strength and discipline to learn Irish/Scottish dancing.

[sonyahannah]

Flatley needs no wedding-cake tiers of dancers; he needs no Elvis moves; he needs no Hollywood effects -- all of those detract from, rather than enhancing, his very genuine and extraordinary talents.

[sonyahannah]

Flatley is an incredible dancer. I only wish that he weren't trying to channel Elvis.

[Xxhannah321]

im going watching lord of the dance tomorrow :D

[marcocaires1]

lovely song and violin players :D

[ccgehrt]

this is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

[aptoniia]

[johnbresnik]

what an egotist... great Irish dancer, but really full of himself...

[alleycat241]

this is weird...

[phoebethedogful]

@alleycat241 ik!!!

[Loryn2008]

does anyone know where can I find this song? thanks, guys!

[rebelgabriel4308]

@Loryn2008 It's called "Planet Ireland" i've tried to find it on itunes, but no luck. It's a hard song to find. I'm starting to think your only gonna get to hear when you watch the show.....ya know.

[SteamEqualsFAIL]

I didnt like this, he seemed so elegant in other dances I've seen him in. He's got some weird gross vibe going in this.

[gizike222]

Fantasztikus táncosok Flatley-ék!!!!! -

[DamirKoprivanac]

The best of the best, thanks!!

[NanalaMetalleuse]

IRISH POWER!!! <3

[allkarrus5]

[DasIstMeinKampyCouch]

This is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen preformed live.

[FurtunJR]

@DasIstMeinKampyCouch FUCK YOU!

[62FlowerPower]

GOD IS IRISH, NO DOUBT !

[rebelgabriel4308]

I love planet Ireland!!!

[Biinko]

[manolecufasole]

[FurtunJR]

@manolecufasole Super tare!!:D

[Luke00126]

At my school, we dance to this at the prom.

[shangrigreige]

the blouse wearing tycoon

[Judyp77]

Riverdance was great till Michael go so full of himself and sexed it up. Yuck!

[dpnlopes]

To all the people saying "there were more skilled people than Michael Flatley in the background":

Michael Flatley trained all of them.

If they are 100% coordinated that's because of Michael Flatley.

He is not doing skilled steps in this video, that's true, but trust me... he is really the best. ;)

[doubleodonnell]

@dpnlopes not at all. he may have organized that dance, i promise he didn't teach them all how to "irish dance" if that can even be considered irish at all.

[dpnlopes]

@doubleodonnell "teach" may have not been the best word. I meant more like "trained".

[wowfood]

Is it just me or does anyone else find Michael Flatley less tallented, and more annoying.

[rebelgabriel4308]

@wowfood no it's just you.

[Beeth440]

Chandler led me here with "his legs flag as if they were independent from his body!"

[IlFautAimer]

@Beeth440 hahahaha same here! I thought it would be more impressive :D

[01MIKES01]

Beautiful.

[thisisbillgates]

wow, over the top much? jeez.



[kyoxkagura808]

dude i was sooooo pissed when the movie came out in theaters but they werent showing iht in hawaii >:(

[sbtspice1029]

ross - "according to chandler, what phenomenon scares the bejesus out of him?"

monica - "MICHAEL FLATLEY LORD OF THE DANCE!"

WOO friends quote

[SuperZemb]

выбить передние зубы и будит танцующий Шура 2...!

[hrle27]

The people that dance in backgroud is so much more bether then Michael!

[jcordova93]

Michael Flatley was the one who choreographed the dances. He does not dance like the background dancers because he is making sure they are doing their jobs, basically like a conductor. Some may think this dance is awful and that Flatley is gay, but with a net worth of $650 million (USD), I don't think he would care what anyone says.

[rebelgabriel4308]

@jcordova93 I couldn't agree with you more. Well said.

[dptcruiser]

All About Him, What about all those people really dancing behind him?????

[jussinevavuori1999]

Michael JACKSON is the lord of the dance :D

[rebelgabriel4308]

@jussinevavuori1999 No, he was the Lord of child molestation.

[CJsmithproductions]

And now Michael Flatley is going poopy diarrhea into my mouth.

[mehatyr]

am I the only one more interested in the bg dancers aka everyone but him

[sufcwraggy]

Thought it was stavros flatley

[yosti2007]

Michael Flately is "Steve Jobs of Irish Dance".

I'd like to call him "iDancer"!...

[dahDougieBoy]

So this is what happened to the bad guy in Karate Kid 1. Haha, that look around 0:14. I'm laughing my ass off. Jeez what a ridiculous show.

[ksklizovic]

what is the name of song that plays in 0:00 - 0:56..

[rebelgabriel4308]

@ksklizovic "Planet Ireland" is the name of the song. It's hard to find, you can't get it on itunes i've tried :( The song is really catchy isn't it LOVE IT!

[TheLappal]

What is this bullshit?

It is not even close to compete with the coolest dance of them all: the bird-dance!

This river-dance thing is for the absolutely worst kind of nerds found on this planet, the river-nerds of lameness! Looks like gay retards in sparkling clothes...

Ohhhhh.... the horror.... the worlds ugliest headband, EVER...

This make Dame Edna shine of class... this is the worst! Look at those fools... this is not the rolling stones, this is the rolling glitter of shame!

[FlyingFoxintheyard]

@TheLappal

Your arrogance amazes me, at least these people have some serious skill. That which you could never dream of having yourself.

[studena50kc]

FUCKING INSANEE!!



[vaccarovj]

His legs flail about as if independent from his body.

[prinsesed1]

@vaccarovj chandler bing <3

[ksklizovic]

name all the songs please

[Zombiiikify]

respect from London 

[Elesseaify]

I think he has the right to have such an ego, look at what he has achieved! If it weren't for him irish stepdancing wouldn't have been so widely known. Ego or not, he is magnificent.

[pinklollipops56]

michael flatley has talent, a whole boat load, but he's got an ego to match it. liked the people in the background are great, and i'm pretty sure flatley was wearing eye liner.

[bjornjoseph]

he reminds me of a white michael jackson.. wait.... nevermind..

[SuperZemb]

Dia shábháil Éirinn

[KleanexGuy]

you gotta love Ireland :D

[rschiwal]

Would have been much better without the distracting douchebag in the foreground.

[timhately09]

@rschiwal Ah, the overwheening ego of Michael Flatley.

[rebelgabriel4308]

The man is a GOD!

[giley124]

@rebelgabriel4308 with a giant ego

[rebelgabriel4308]

@giley124 Why do you think he has a giant ego?

[pigwa519]

FANTASTIC. HOW THEY DO IT?????????????? SUPER,SUPER.SUPER.

[vargamarta64]

This page is about Irish folk dance ! It's fantastic !

[mundo45114]

this guy is nothing compared to michael jackson...

[kiwitina948]

@mundo45114 Michael Jackson couldn't tap dance like this. He was the greatest though, and still is.

[stephendleahy]

great dancer pity about his ego

[irishxxkelt]

@stephendleahy Only an "ego" could write and produce a show like this....

[JasonShallPerish]

"His legs flail about as if independent from his body!"

magnificat.. i saw it in milano! wonder

[TheAthenaSpartan]

@irelandsnumber1 haha friends lol



[doncseczakos]

watch?v=sXCvSjj6ciw See this video! This is the real Michael Flatley! :)

[dahDougieBoy]

?? I find the people in the background more impressing. He only run around and throw kisses to the audience.

[weeardguy]

@dahDougieBoy And especially the ones on the raised platforms: I wouldn't be to surprised if they had to learn to dance in a whole new way: in another video about this performance, you see how they start to dance, and how the platform moves up and down under the extreme rhythmic movements.

[halcsika]

@dahDougieBoy Yes, you know, this is the finale of a two-hours show where he had 'good moments' in a couple of solo ...

[DoucheNick]

@dahDougieBoy as much as i love flatley i agree, he should be part of the company a bit more, i think it would be good if for at least one dance he swapped out and let one of them take the lead, would be interesting to see how it pans out :)

[molecular98]

@dahDougieBoy He is a really good dancer he could kill it....see other videos..He is just playing the hype man if you know what i mean...get the crowd in a frenzy.

[KittyStarlight]

@dahDougieBoy: I feel the same way. He just acts silly. And he walks like he thinks he's Elvis or something. ^_~ (Love the music, though. ^_^ And some of the dancing's pretty good.)

[KittyStarlight]

@dahDougieBoy: He doesn't really ONLY run around and throw kisses to the audience. But I don't really like the way he dances, compared to the background dancers. They're doing Irish stepdancing, he's doing "Look at me, I'm so hot" dancing. Which I don't very much care for.

@molecular98: Yeah, he is a really good dancer, he just needs to learn to have better taste sometimes. ^_~ In this scene he acts like he thinks acting like the "hype man" is more important than acting Irish or musical. Sigh.

[SyncroWanda]

@dahDougieBoy and who do you think is training them?

[cassidyoluv]

He used to be so amazing... and now... It just seems like all he does is run around stage and kneel at random times... :(

[CuteMcBeauty]

HO----LY---- SHIT!!!

[drout0]

He won the "Gayest costume & makeup" contest in this video.

[ghaelscoil]

This is the farthest from traditional irish dancing as you can get ..... its like michael flatley has bedazzled every single part and it is absolutely disgusting .....Im Irish and when i see clips like this it makes me cringe because of how awful it is .... michael you are the farthest thing from sexy !!! so why are you constantly rubbing yourself ???

[thehellezell]

@ghaelscoil I agree with you 100%, but there is a level of madness and success-fueled delusion that make this video really endearing. Did they hand out acid to the crowd?? Why are they going so absolutely bananas?

[amperepper]

megnézném én azt a 266 gyökeret mivel múlják felül ezt ?

[drout0]

"legs flail about as if independent of his body" ?????? i didn't see anything, sorry. just a mediocre dancer thinking he's the center of the universe.

[irishdancer5505]

@drout0 You're an ignorant asshole

[drout0]

@irishdancer5505 Thanks for the compliment, you too! back to my original comment: legs flail about as if independent of his body?????????? bwahhahahahahahahah!!!! i see you're an irish dancer too. i bet you do it better than Flatley ( even i can do it ).
