i agree with what a commentator said (on NPR)--AFTER the news came about Michael Jackson's sudden departure; " he was not a 'has-been', not a "controversy", and not a 'Joke'..

no, he was genius..

aww, Micah you're awesome! You even do the little motions Michael does during the verses right! True MJ fan :)

@Dhall1960 It was much easier to keep up with the dancers that first year. Subsequent performances have have had such huge crowds, it can be difficult for some to see the performers. The crowd that first year appeared at the last minute and everything came together like magic. I've never seen anything quite like it. I'm just glad we were able to document it.

If anyone would like to see more of Micah's Mj cover songs or Micah as Michael Jackson vids, mikey007462 here on youtube. He has done about 40 MJ cover songs and also some of his MJ impersonator perfomances. He is Kentucky's finest Michael Jackson impersonator and is doing well in canada too! he will be missed at THRILLER this year in Lexington!

I know in my book that he is the best impersonator on here and out there :) Who else can sing EXACTLY like MJ :p And he dances just like him also :) I think Ky just upstaged the Mj impersonaters lol:p

[Dhall1960]

Yes, I am so proud of Micah! he is very talented! When I think back to the first show he was happy just to be a Zombie. Mecca said he could portray MJ. Micah was ecstatic! been dancing ever since!

[cdogslovergirl1]

I know you are proud Dhall1960 :) I live in Ky and I am proud that he honors our one true pop star to a tee :) He is awesome at impersonating MJ and sounds just like the king himself when he sings :) And his dance lol :p Well it shows for itself :)

[Dhall1960]

That is what I thought, My son Micah. portrayed Michael Jackson. He was 17 then and now he is 24. I thought gee he looks so young to be for this to be 2006!!
