He appropriated them, not stole. I mean, if you want to get technical, nobody can copyright a dance move or trademark a body silhouette. To be slightly less clinical, MJ's genius was to steal from his myriad disparate influences, mix them all up, apply them with deft precision and knowledge of his craft, and come out in the end as something uniquely singular. He was like his hero Walt Disney in this regard, or Andy Warhol or George Lucas or any number of history's truest, most innovative artists/entertainers. There is something to be said for homage. All the greats "steal," I mean, nobody is creating in a totally fresh artistic vacuum. We take what came before and we add ourselves to it. "Nothing is new under the sun." That's the BIBLE, son!

If you did a little research you'd know that Jackson was open about his love for Fosse. He even asked Fosse to direct Smooth Criminal and Thriller. Any dancers back me up on this. Dance is about fusion. Any dancer starts off as a kid watching moves and copying them. Then you put your influences together. You put your spin on the moves and something new comes along. Nobody, dancer, singer, whatever, comes up with shit completely on their own. They all have influences. Choreography was put under copyright laws in 1978. It's all public domain before that. That Little Prince routine was hard tango.

Fosse was a brilliant talent no doubt about it but a lot of these Jackson detractors forget is one big element that Jackson did something Fosse didn't do here: He made the dance moves cool. Fosse wasn't being cool here. Just goofy. Jackson however added those important elements of coolness, style and presentation that Fosse did not have. That's the reason Jackson left such an enormous impression and Fosse did not.

He's a titan in the Broadway and dance communities. Anyone who's presently a dancer has heard of him and has taken inspiration from him. Not just in the US, but the world over.

Michael Jackson was very open about the fact that he studied and learned from the masters including Fosse. He never hid it nor denied it per his famous note "Get all Bob Fosse movie dances and study inside and out." Everyone who knew him described Michael as a sponge - always curious, always learning, always perfecting. He did the same with Astaire, Kelly, Brown, Wilson, the Nicholas brothers, etc. He watched and then he created his own style. That's how an artist develops his craft. The negativity from some here is rubbish.

It's weird how a legendary dancer's cameo in a long-forgotten, 1970s children's film could spark such heated debate. And like most KZbin debates, it doesn't take long for the whole thing to turn wildly absurd. OF COURSE MJ was influenced by Fosse. Fosse inspired literally EVERY dancer who came of age during the1960s and 1970s. The guy was a Broadway ICON. To say that MJ "ripped off" Fosse is like saying that a jazz musician playing trumpet is "ripping off" Miles Davis; there's a PRETTY GOOD chance that Miles is alredy his #1 influence. Nobody was more flattered by MJ's Fosse-style dancing in the "Billie Jean" video than Fosse himself. But to say that MJ's style was "stolen" from Fosse is not only false, but it ignores: a) MJ had a multitude of dancing influences, chief among them Fosse, Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, and James Brown; b) MJ heavily incorporated popping into his dancing, a style that you won't find in any of Fosse's jazz-influenced choreography.

I was stationed at Virginia Beach,Va. by the time Billie Jean came out and shocked the hell out of my jarhead buddies and everyone else when I could do that cool dance move. MTV and the solo Micheal Jackson were both brand new and I was a moonwalking bad ass motherfucker that got laid regularly off that thing.

Careful people. Michael Jackson has said himself that one have to study the "masters" to be a good dancer. He was a relative young dancer in modern time. He was like a tornado on stage, he grabbed his croach, he dancet bally, he had tons of his own moves. It is obvious and not surprising he studied guys like Astaire, Sinatra and Fosse, they were "his" masters. He developed his unique style and became the one we love and miss, the King of Pop, Michael Jakson.

No, no he wasn't. He was very open about having studied with Fosse, and his other inspirations.

'I complained that I had not stayed on my toes like I'd wanted on Motown 25, Bob Fosse told me later, "Michael, it's never the steps that are important. It's the style". Moonwalker by Michael Jackson'

Many people's are saying mj stole dance steps for billie Jean from this, which is totally incorrect, the dance here done is simple just like we all do when we are happy, when we are enjoying anything , the dance moves comes to us on our own but what mj did was truly amazing which actually looked like dance steps well practicised. Just little bit feet movement or hand gesture will not make it similar to billie Jean dance

Perhaps you may not have noticed it, but that’s exactly the intended result. Fosse’s moves here are extremely well practiced, yet look the least bit rehearsed. He was notorious for going overboard with over practicing his choreography. His dance philosophy was to strive for perfection by making difficult, odd and quirky dance numbers look spontaneous, effortless and joyful. It’s quite difficult to accomplish such a feat without practice, especially when your dance moves are as minimalistic as his usually were.

Michael Jackson was a genius for seeing this and removing all the samba and tango moves, and honing in on the bold, striking poses. It's safe to say Jackson was influenced by Fosse, but he certainly didn't copy him outright. Jackson took what was hinted at here and made it 20x better.

Putting emotions aside Bob Fosse was a better dancer overall and more entertaining to watch as well.

Surprised how many people claim MJ stole his moves. Newsflash, every artist and singer has a culmination of inspirations, every....single....one. That is the whole point of artistry, you are inspired to learn techniques from people you admire, all of them..and all that you learn gets thrown into a pot, mixed up, and what comes out is a fresh new recipe that is distinctively you. That's like saying that an actual doctor is a phony cause he went to college and learned from multiple teachers and textbooks. I definitely see the inspiration in this video, notably the outfit more-so than the moves.. the moves are similar to a point, but in general it is rather vague.

It may be art but it's far from creative, original, or can even be called inspiration, to literally copy something that came before. And no, it's nothing at all the same as a doctor studying and learning from books, that's absurd. When I began writing and drawing as a child, I was inspired by Roald Dahl and Quentin Blake, but have my stories and illustrations ever been anything like theirs? Of course not. I have my own styles that I created on my own. They inspired me to create, not to copy what they'd already done. You can't call yourself an artist if you're simply going to copy; that's cheating!
