Wow, he moved like he was on water....like he was floating. A lot of people say they've met him but if you have you know he sounds like he found Jesus.
Elvis and Michael both from different era's in terms of their style of music Elvis wouldn't be able to succeed trying to imitate Michael nor would Michael be able to successfully imitate Elvis. it is like comparing apples and oranges
a legend. cant forget Micheal Jackson : king of pop. he inspired eveyone who heard his voice even as a child. he taught me that you have to go for your dreams even when you dont notice that your actually living it. ill never forget him. R.I.P KING OF POP<3333
i remember 1st time i heard this, every fiber of my being come alive.. he had a way to make u feel like u want to dance to every step u he does and to believe that u could.. even so most of us couldnt.
MJ was not "original". He was a stylist. The "moonwalk" came years before Michael Jackson's jerky and obvious motions. He lifted it.
Remember ladies and gentlemen...everything has to come from somewhere.
Trouble is, today's audience has little to no actual point of reference, blindly accepting what is presented to them by crass commercial MERCHANTS with their own agenda.
Moonwalk just 1 of numerous cool moves MJ did. He repeated it just because people wanted & feel happy to see him doing it. I feel sorry for those who did similar move didn't get same effect as MJ. But MJ didn't & couldn't do anything about that.
I am just happy he became famous. Can you imagine Michael Jackson doing anything else. It would be like Arnold Schawznegger being a day care counsellor. Had to think of. None the less, Michael rocks my world and is one of the best dancers ever! the only way that some one could be better would be if Michael and Paula Abdul hooked up and had a kid. Now he would be awesome.
King of pop.
A true hero for all to aspire to be, selfless and extremely talented.
he thought he was ugly?? i've seen him during the time where he had the nose that he did'nt like and i found nothing wrong with it at all..he was a nice looking guy back then , i prefered him that way but later to a point he was still good looking...but that acne what a bitch. i hate acne
you know what I don't get? Why do people who hate MJ watch his videos then make a nasty comment about him to make all of us fans feel bad. I think that deep down they really are just jealous of him because he was a way better person then they are. May Michael Jackson forever rest in peace!
No, he will live forever, not just in our hearts, his mind may be gone but his sole is still here and right now he is sitting on that stage looking what he did wrong
michael is history. he created history. none will create or achieve what he has. pure gold. solid gold. pure, raw talent. master of song, dance and show. RIP michael. keep playing his music, thru us it will live forever. which is all he ever wanted. and his many good deeds, and all his humanitarian efforts. and his children.
that was one of those moments where my brain exploded. just like the terminator in T2, i saw something i thought couldn't possibly happen. of course nowadays young folks see this and think big deal. but then, Holy Cow!
For some reason, no one can entertain like him and that it seems that no one can achieve the accomplishments he had especially with Thriller.....RIP and it must've been a great sight to see him perform but the only thing tv brought me is how MJ was a weird and person =( WTF is wrong with those people?
makes u wonder how he went from this to what a tragic public life he lead towards the end,its such a shame, can u imagine how much more popular he would have been if all that bad publicity shit happened to him, that stuff would have effected him wanting to write music and all other aspects of his life, people ruined it for themselves, cos they are all sheep. RIP
there will never be another like michael jackson. & even if we get struck with luck and there is, we will call them a mere copycat of the greatest performer that ever lived.
I remember seeing this live. If you were in your teens, twenties, or early thirties, liked his music, and saw this, it was the only thing talked about the next morning at the drinking fountain and everywhere else. We knew the music video well, but the energy of this performance just blew the doors off. He was off-the-chain hot. His potential seemed endless. If you are of that generation, a piece of your youth passed with MJ. I take a knee as he passes.
We didn't care that he lip-synched this one. The physical performance in a live venue by this kid that we had watched grow up left us speechless for a moment. Then he did that...what the f*** was that move?! That....backwards walk. Holy s***! That's how we felt...way back then ;-)
Totally revolutionary! If you were around when this first came out, you can watch it now and still feel the same way as you did back then. I still get goose bumps watching it. I totally disagree nothing has surpassed this and nothing will. Anything done today is just an extension of this moment in time M.J G.O.A.T!!!!
i never saw what was so big about this, apart from the moon walk i mean he ddnt sing live or anthing,im not dising him cos hes amazing and im a huge fan but his 1988 grammy performance was way better.
Michael Jackson was a trend setter. Today the trend is already here and has been surpassed. But back then, what he was doing was unseen and completely futuristic.
To you it may not seem like much now, but neither do Star Wars movies today considering all movies out there. In its time it was unparalleled, and that's what all the fuss is all about.
Michael Jackson did something that was never done before and today about half the music on the pop radio stations is imitating Michael Jackson.
michael jackson did not invent the moon walk, someone taught him, but michael jackson never claimed to have made up the moon walk. and yes that is the first time that he performed the moon walk in public.
