Top 5 Michael Jackson Dance Routines That Are Impossible to Copy

[@kumu.9731]

The BAR that was set by MJ was an impossible and unfair goal for any other entertainers to obtain because these were HIS gifts, his DNA. Amazing video.

The most difficult thing to copy from Michael is the stage presence. His technique is difficult, but not something too crazy or complicated. But the thing that makes his dancing iconic is his energy and stage presence.

[@ladierose1021]

[@mlaurynn8567]

He was unreal even as a kid! These rappers / hip hop celebs cannot compare to him! His backup dancers were incredible as well!

[@DebbieCummings-b6d]

Absolutely! He defines dance!

[@LivingLifeWithLanesha]

Now no one can EVER top MJ when it comes to dancing, but I will say Remember The Time is the only song/music video I can dance to because the choreography is so easy to learn. I've been dancing to it for several years now, so I pretty much know the whole routine, but all his other "short films/mini movies" I just watch because I know I cannot dance to those. 😭 Love MJ!!! ❤ #KingofPop #MichaelJackson

Michael Jackson was an unsurpassed and unequalled dancer because he combined so many qualities that are difficult to find together in one person. To a precise and special technique he combined a slender, supple and snappy physique, not to mention his grace and incredible sex appeal. No dancer could ever have this special blend of elements. That's why there will never be another Michael Jackson 👑👑👑❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🕺🕺🕺🕺

[@ayaanbretmitchell9830]

Thing is, oeople say they can dance like MJ etc but most of his moves his top half is doing the opposite to the bottom. His co ordination was insane. He purposely made his moves harder over the years. Example his moonwalk in later years he moved his arms and head in opposite directions whilst going backwards. He was exceptional

[@rebecca_stone]

What always gets me about that live Dangerous performance, is that he and his dancers are doing the exact complex same moves, but he stands out so much still - if you watch him, he's perfectly precise, but his body looks sooooo relaxed and laidback about it, it's like he's stretching into a yawn. He was just next level.

U can learn the moves copy but something on MJ looked better and smoother while being sharp on his moves. He was talking fluently with a language he created while dancing. So noone can be better than the creator himself of this language. Dancers can do more than MJ of course but MJ made dance cool and great for all and he did in a way that it would amaze u more than acrobatics and incredible ballet... he had something unique.

@LPnerd Unfortunately you're wrong. When the truth comes out as to what really happened to him, you'll feel differently. He was taken away just like Whitney Houston was. Just like other people who left us too soon. It's an industry thing. So just wait for it because you're wrong. But that's ok. A lot of people don't know what the circumstances were. But it will eventually come out. And you should never disrespect the deceased without knowing the truth.

The best singer and dancer that the world had seen up to now

[@mjforever]

True!

[@LYBism]

MJ's back-up dancers said it was difficult to keep up with him. Even his back-up singers tell the story of how he coached them so sing and pronounce things in certain ways. I saw a video of him in the engineer room and telling this guy how the beat had to be so that it wouldn't mess up the groove and fluidity of the song. To the naked eye and ear, his movements and singing may have seemed basic. But the technicalities in what he did are what set him apart from all the rest. In my opinion, his ABILITIES are extremely underrated. He changed his singing and dancing styles after his OFF THE WALL project, but if you go back and listen to his voice as a child, especially without the music, you would hear the rawness of his untrained voice and hear the runs and his vocal abilities.

Great video, the clips and the narration made me appreciate MJ's art as never before. Super hard choreographies and he's so sharp, even in his 50s.

[@chelliebean5773]

Many of the dances he performed were dances created from the street of black dance culture and the hood, but he mastered and took them to another level. For instance the renamed moonwalk, was a break dancing move. But he mastered it wonderfully and brought them to the masses. And in Remember the Time, he's does the best "Bart Simpson" I've ever seen. That was a dance developed among young black dances, and it was wonderful how he incorporated them with such amazing style and smoothness. He was bad to the bone.

[@sheeshbot]

And dancers/choreographers like Jerome Robbin’s and Bob Fosse. See snake in the grass. Michael and his choreographers were collectors often not inventors. He copied many of his moves from Jazz, Hip Hop, and contemporary dancers and choreographers.

all who said any dancer can copy him, yeah.. maybe. but he was so smooth and he was singing live too,

[@workinperkins]

After some research, I found that Michael Jackson performed "Remember the Time" at the 1993 Soul Train Music Awards while seated on a throne due to a sprained ankle, not because he forgot the dance moves. On Jackson's Talent: Fred Astaire once said, "Oh, God! That boy moves in a very exceptional way. That’s the greatest dancer of the century."

[@TrinNZ]

Right, what the channel is suggesting is that there is a theory he faked the sprained ankle to get out of performing the moves. Of course we will never know. It's hard to think of MJ not being confident in his moves, plus he had this ability to slip out of choreography and do his signature gestures and then be able to slip right back into the choreo so if he truly wasn't confident he could have just done his own thing, then moved right back into the choreo when he felt like it. This is discussed by the choreographer who worked with Michael on the Bad music video. I choose to believe the sprained ankle was legit.
