Michael Jackson dance off on Apollo Kids

2 Kids dance off to Michael Jackson. In your opinion, who won?

[@teresabillington2264]

The first kid rocked. His moves were perfect. MJ was such an influence thru out the universe.

[@Josephinasava2457]

@Bill Anderson I'm telling you Michael really was a great man and this world is not messed up to believe it ok, Michael saved ppl lives talked them out of suicide. Donated millions and millions to poor ppl and children without food or homes. He was a very very misunderstood man and the media destroyed him ppl were jealous and wicked towards him rip Michael 🙏 Don't let the media fool you into thinking he was a horrible human.

[@odessa870]

The first performer definitely gets my vote. He was amAzing! Love to see truly talented youngsters.

[@djcichlid7746]

They both rocked it. But that 1st one SLAYED it🔥

[@robertwilliams7919]

Anyone that can even begin to move like Michael Jackson you got to give credit but the first one had it down to and art as if he had been trained by the king of pop himself.

[@larryyanez961]

The second kid had more rhythm.

[@wingedinfinity6715]

Yes, first dancer stole the show. Both were GREAT but have to give it to the first one for making it looks so natural like MJ did. He really had the MJ swagger, which is what is almost always missing with other dancers. It floors me that a dancer gets his swagger at all, let alone at such an early age. Which means he is a natural. LOVE THIS !!! 🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽

"Jam" is a hard song to dance to, but the kid who danced to "Smooth Criminal" was simply better coordinated and synchronized with his presentation. Hands down, he won.

[@Sparklin-Charm]

Agree!!! 💯

[@collabboevents943]

They are both talented, The first dancer was precise. Loved that.

[@redraven24]

The biggest difference between the two contestants was that the 1st kid had MJ's swag on point. The 2nd kid had a smoother delivery but lacked that attitude that MJ had when dancing. MJ's attitude was 90% of what made his dancing so amazing, IMO. He was a phenomenal technical dancer, don't get me wrong, but when other dancers were dancing his moves with the same precision around him, he still stuck out from the crowd cause he OWNED his dancing. The first kid had that presence, I think.
