from 1976 - 1979 and threw out the 1980s and the early 90s like 1991 and 1992 michael jackson was the KING OF POP AND THE MTV ICON forget about Janet Jackson and Prince and U2 and Madonna and REM.
@plainanjelik You probably think MJ invented these moves... so by your logic you should be shot? They were choreographed by Michael Peters. It sucks that the choreographers get forgotten so often. PS - Wade is one of the best dancers/choreographers to ever live, and while MJ was a great dancer, Wade grew up learning to dance like MJ and surpassed him by a great deal. Wade is sick.
Wade is extremely talented and does a fine job on these MJ patented moves but it speaks volumes about MJ's talent though when you compare the two. Granted, Wade is a taller and larger guy, which is a distinct disadvantage when trying to duplicate MJ but the fluidity and seeming effortless way in which MJ performed these moves is something that nobody (IMO) can come very close to pulling off.
Say what you want about MJ's quirks but in his prime the man had NO peer as an entertainer.
Yeah he does a great job... but right away you see he is too... heavy on his feet, and his centre of gravity is too low in comparison to Michael. Something about Michaels dancing is he was very very light on his feet... he held his body up... great composure.
@whataboutredlorry Yes and I love the way MJ used to do that little jump in the air to start off a move. Michael was extremely graceful as well, which must be hard to match.
MJ said somewhere I can't remember where at this moment that he taught Wade everything he knows. Oh I know it was in "The Michael Jackson Tapes" book.
People! Stop saying that noone can move and dance like MJ. Of course that's TRUE! Nobody can dance like him, sing like him, be like him! He is untouchable. We know it. Wade just learnt from Michael. He was inspired by Michael. And he did a very good job, because he has a great talent and as I know - Michael taught Wade himself how to move and so on. I don't think Wade tried to compare with MJ. He was just a huge fan of his. That's it. I like the performance. Bravo, Wade.
Note MJ's smooth criminal moonwalk at 0:33. No one will ever duplicate his moves. He had a supernatural gift of movement and dance. Wade did a great job with his cover, though. Gotta give him credit. MJ is a hard dancer to imitate.
yes he did a good job dancing like him, i'm not taking anything away from him, but there is only one Michael Jackson and only he perfected those moves the way he did. otherwise nonetheless, he did a good job
well no one can be like him, but wade is one of the lucky kids that MJ help and brought to the US from aussie, why? because he's so talented.michael can see that! :)
Wade is also 6'4'' , where MJ wasnt even 5'10'', harder to not look retarded doing moves when your limbs are longer. most of MJ's moves required heavy musicality as it was. moreless with added isolation of boogaloo and some waving. the longer the limb the harder it is to isolate.
lol the difference between wade and MJ, is that wade dances very chero like. nothing wrong with it, but MJ was a really james brown kinda funky. he didn't count out steps. it wasnt like 1 and 2 and 3. it was more with sound effects, like Jeffery Daniels and the electric boogaloos. MJ danced within the music. NOT on it. Wade is one of the most impressive dancers to have been born. Nobody has any kind of authority to say he isnt good.
michael jackson taught this guy he signed him to his own label he was MJ's back-up dancer so...i doubt he didnt hit all those moves correctly he's awesome!
How in the hell is he too slow? Did any of you here see the clip of the original "Smooth Criminal" video playing right above Wade? Wade was dancing almost exactly to Jackson's timing.
too slow? please..he is one of the greatest hollywood choreographer, better than shane spark...although you can't expect him to move like michael...well, NO ONE MOVES LIKE MICHAEL ..thats for sure.
OMG! All of them did an incredible job, OBVIOUSLY..but Michelle KILLED that shit! I think she put more energy and passion into every step then the others. Real talk, she should have won. Tyler was aight, but..Michelle deserved the win.
he deserves a lot of credit for his dancing, but you gotta remember: michael INVENTED these moves. he does them better, and he created them. no one can take that away from michael jackson.
yeah but remember hes not trying to be like mike, its just a tribute, because thats the man who inspired him to become the incredible dancer/choreographer he is today, he and everyone else in the world knows that you cant top michael. just like no one can touch wade at the style of dance he does.
Wade is OK but does not have the natural soul or ability to effectively pull off a genius like Michael. Much African dancing has to do with beats and hearing the music; like gang fighting or street moves; like running from bullets; chasing cars; or from gangs. Go to the hood Wade.
Er...while I admire the heck out of Robson's choreography, this set is all Michael Jackson's work. Wade is doing a tribute here (and quite a good one).
he is the only guy ive ever seen do that dance so good , it even impressed micheal jackson !! ... it wasnt as good as jacko but its the closest ive ever seen !! ... wades the man !
Wade is MJ's prodigy...point blank. Wade and MJ have alot of history together. They've been friends for a long time. Wade is a very talented dancer and he learned quite a bit from the master.
He's really good in an up-himself-about-it-though kind of way. Cool video. But could those girls in the audience shut the fuck up for five minutes???!!! Seriously.
I am certainly not a fan of MJ's, but I must say that Wade does it better doing his own stuff. Only MJ himself is able to make magic performing these choreos.
I don't see how anyone could not be a fan of the King of Pop, but to each is own. I do, however, agree that no one, including Wade, is capable of cutting the rug like Michael f%#@ing Jackson baby. That said, Wade is in a class of his own though. His choreography is impeccable and futuristic!
He's soo cool
