[Николай Лишанков]

Брутально по-русски сюжет называется "взяла его не финка, не пуля, не дубинка, а девочка с малины воровской...№

Фрэд и Сид всегда были лучше всех, но здесь прям шикарно...

What type of dance is this????

[VoguePlease Blue]

“Oh, God! That boy moves in a very exceptional way. That’s the greatest dancer of the century”.

“I didn’t want to leave this world without knowing who my descendant was. Thank you Michael!”

-Fred Astaire

Astaire loved Michael and called him right after Motown 25 to tell him how amazing he was. You know you're a genius when your idols think you're fantastic. 'Smooth Criminal' brought me here. I can see why MJ was inspired. This is fantastic!

Ppl need to stop comparing the talents of todays dancers or entertainers to those of the golden era!!!! The entertainers of the golden era paved the way for any talented entertainers that exist today. Entertainers today aren't multi-talented like those back in the day, and of course that's just my take!

[Qee7en]

Yea. Amen to that.

MJ's moves we're more sharper and energetic in my opinion, but Fred Astaire is a very precise operator when it comes to executing his moves
