Wylie did such a fucking amazing job with Michael's role

[@dontrelswinson3624]

RIP to them both... 2 Beautiful souls gone too soon. What I have noticed, is when Tribute Artists perform Billie Jean, they forget that Michael did the Moonwalk a 2nd time at the end of the performance. Wylie definitely captured the essence and did an amazing job. The best I've seen thus far (other than Michael of course).

[@christopheranthony3169]

When Michael called Wylie Draper he said " when you do that performance, don't make me look bad" after seeing it then Michael called back and said " whoa whoa I said don't make me look bad, but don't make yourself look so good!" Lol Wylie did and excellent job may they both rest in peace!

[@ianbrennan9635]

This was such a dang near flawless re-enactment. R.I.P. Wylie Draper.

[@kennymcquaid6804]

The actor who performed this did a damn near perfect job. Rated 10

[@TheDmented01]

Rip Wylie Draper. 😔 he has so much potential as an actor as an actor, and aced his role as the king of pop.

[@paulg5548]

I wonder how long it took him to master this? Even though it looks like a simple dance, it's quite difficult to replicate. He did MJ proud

[@jsinc4511]

Yeah wylie draper Michael Would be proud of you.❤💗💘💖💝🥵

Mindy Meeks-Martin: 🎵She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene I said don't mind, but what do you mean, I am the one Who will dance on the floor in the round? She said I am the one, who will dance on the floor in the round She told me her name was Billie Jean, as she caused a scene Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one Who will dance on the floor in the round People always told me be careful of what you do And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts And mother always told me be careful of who you love And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth Billie Jean is not my lover She's just a girl who claims that I am the one But the kid is not my son She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son For forty days and forty nights The law was on her side But who can stand when she's in demand Her schemes and plans 'Cause we danced on the floor in the round So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice (Do think twice, do think twice) She told my baby we'd danced 'til three, then she looked at me Then showed a photo my baby cried his eyes were like mine (oh, no) 'Cause we danced on the floor in the round, baby People always told me be careful of what you do And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts She came and stood right by me Just the smell of sweet perfume This happened much too soon She called me to her room Billie Jean is not my lover She's just a girl who claims that I am the one But the kid is not my son Billie Jean is not my lover She's just a girl who claims that I am the one But the kid is not my son She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son Billie Jean is not my lover She's just a girl who claims that I am the one But the kid is not my son She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son She says I am the one You know what you did, (she says he is my son) breaking my heart babe She says I am the one Billie Jean is not my lover Billie Jean is not my lover Billie Jean is not my lover Billie Jean is not my lover (don't Billie Jean) Billie Jean is not my lover Billie Jean is not my lover🎵

[@scottjulie27]

This guy did a great emulation to Michael Jackson's dance moves in the Motown 25 performance. This is the best impersonator I have seen. However, in the filmmaking part of this, there were too many close-ups. They should have showed more far angles so you can see his dance moves more.

[@kuririnkrr]

@Mr. No Weapon who’s turbo?

[@b.i.s.o.n.bristolscreenwri305]

Impressive. The critics were trying to say it looked too "pantomine" but I think what was more important is that a new genre could witness what I saw first hand as a 15-year-old! What impressed me when I witnessed it that night was how MJ was giving his ALL.

[@Blazer9970]

RIP Wylie Draper and Michael Jackson

[@cdluk9843]

It's film The Jacksons:An American Dreams

[@Moviefan2k4]

Aside from the glove being on his right hand (whereas Michael wore it on his left for Motown 25), and some of the dance moves being a little slow...this is still the best recreation we'll likely ever see for a film. Wylie Draper worked his butt off; you can tell he must have studied MJ's performance many times over. His lip-synching is almost perfect, as well.

[@faizet2]

The palm-side of the glove is all glittery. In reality this type of glove came along in the 1984 Jacksons Victory Tour.

[@faizet2]

MJ began wearing a glove partially to cover his "Vitiligo Blasts" he had on his hand in the early '80s' as portrayed in "Man in the Mirror: The Michael Jackson Story". It is considered a spiritual 2 this & doesn't sugar-coat as this miniseries does, which isn't surprising as Motown w/Jermaine Jackson produced the miniseries!!😜

[@patrickbateman00]

This is a tough act to follow if they do this scene in the new Michael bio pic. Wylie Draper did a phenomenal job!

[@ShyGuy83]

This guy captured Mike's look, attitude, tone, and mannerisms to a tee. Flex Anderson and whoever that other guy was who played him in those other TV movies can go bite the big one.
