Nathan Nelson
they glued their shoes
Jayden Hill
it's a reference to a fred astaire movie
if you're asking HOW well then its about pegs in the floor that lock into the shoes
Josiah Brooks
then they wouldn't be able to move afterwards
they tilted the whole room so it looked like whey were leaning, oldest trick in the book
Jaxon Rogers
Hook in shoe heel, bolt in ground.
Blake Roberts
still requires a lot of leg strength.
Adam Bell
He was the king of pop. He could do shit like this.
Hudson Kelly
Well, in the video they had the advantage of editing. On the live shows they had to distract the audience with something while lights went off over the dancers so they could adjust the shoes in place, do the bit, then another distraction to get off the spot and continue the number.
Luke Peterson
giant fan
Jose Hill
The building was built at a 20 degree angle
Bentley Butler
They are leaning against the direction of the Earth's spin. The rotational force of the Earth keeps them from falling down completely. It's very clever and all based on 100% science.
Carter Lewis
Which dancers tend to have.
Grayson Miller
yeah man those dancers are crazy no wonder most of them are black since they usually have superior strength
Luke Russell
Leg implants
Adam Bailey
if they tilted the room then why are michael and his dancers the only ones leaning?
Cameron Sullivan
The other ones are tilted to the other side.
Jaxson Perez
they glued their shoes
Chase Allen
Childhood is loving Thriller. Adulthood is realizing Smooth Criminal makes more sense.
Cameron Anderson
This, the onlookers are tilting the other way to make it look like MJ and the dancers are leaning.
Ayden Jenkins
Midichlorians
Jaxon King
wise words. i never even heard Smooth Criminal until 9 months ago, it's definitely my favorite Jackson song now though
Austin Cooper
...
Ryan Lewis
Childhood is loving Smooth Criminal. Adulthood is realizing the Alien Ant Farm cover makes more sense.
Noah Turner
You can see one of the backup dancers shoe get stuck on the mechanism on one of the live shows. I'm sure it's on youtube somewhere.
John Phillips
>Well, in the video they had the advantage of editing.
Well, MJ used to do this move onstage with his dancers on tour too.
It's not hard:
>feet on clearly marked area (invisible to spectators)
>pegs raise under shoes
>dancers hook special shoes onto pegs
>smooth criminal move
Brody Kelly
MAGNETS
Austin Reyes
Squareness is thinking Thriller is MJ's best.
Soul is realizing that Off the Wall is his best
Zachary Foster
This is the most incorrigibly white post I've ever read, and I frequent Sup Forums
Hunter Howard
Yeah, I know. What I'm saying is that in the video/movie they cut to them already in position, so they just lean. Live they had to create a distraction so people didn't catch the trick.
3:19, if the embed doesn't skip to the correct time
Jason Thomas
what the fuck
Julian Howard
checked and correct
Evan Reed
this video is the best version of the song i've seen
Brayden Allen
They had their ankles replaced with titanium joints so they could flex that hard
Luis Gutierrez
Was Michael the best robodancer and moonwalker ever?
Caleb Powell
imagine if they accidentally hit their feet against the peg
Charles Perry
Yes. But this little fella was good too
Daniel Wilson
Guess thats why they put them on the far side of the stage, then carefully move around them when that part is over.
Anthony Thomas
dude was a pedophile
Benjamin Morgan
>far right almost trips
>recovers like a god damn pro
Chase Moore
...
Jordan Gomez
You made me go back and watch it for the first time in years. Fuck you.
Carter Jones
they turned the camera 45 degrees
David Morales
billie jean is MJ's best song
Luis Murphy
its definitely close, billie jean has the sickest beat ever
Jordan Bell
GOAT bassline desu
Logan Hall
PYT is my favorite Tbh
Jace Jackson
Man he truly was GOAT
Jaxson Fisher
It's honestly difficult to argue against that. It's not his best video, tho.
Isaiah Moore
>Not PYT
Mason Roberts
Why was Joe Pesci trying to kill him?
And why did he become a robot?
Jordan Lopez
1. Smooth Criminal
2. Billie Jean
3. Rock My World
Carson Nguyen
In the music video it was just harness/cables.
In the live it's the special shoes, you see whenever they do the lean live they always step backwards robotically in order to unlock their feet from the apparatus.
But what's really important, is to remind all you people out there that critics are fucking stupid and invincible is actually a really fucking good album and nowhere near a bomb or a terrible disappointment.
Nathaniel Gomez
>nothing from dangerous
Joseph Perez
...
Jackson Morales
Hard to pick just top 3 songs bro
Samuel Ross
he was the best dancer period
Benjamin King
fuck yes MJ blows away every other entertainer ever
Noah Wright
Did they have the huge projectors back then for the people in the far back?
Dominic Jackson
Who /PYT/ here?
Anthony Gray
why did he had a beef with Prince?
Jace Hall
Not necessarily a reference. I've not seen Astaire lean like that in any of his movies.
However, Astaire was a huge influence on Michael.
Colton Thompson
he somehow thought Prince was a threat, little did he know he will be remembered as a God and Prince will just be some singer with a couple of hits
Jack Gutierrez
daily reminder that this performance will literally never be topped.
he didn't, prince had a beef with MJ.
David Davis
>when you're not a multibillion dollar cash cow that everyone wants a piece of yet.
Charles Thomas
This is almost unbelievable.
Gavin Evans
why did he want his skin to be white?
David Perry
he had vitilgo, he just wanted his skin to be uniform in color, that's the official story
Isaac Hill
Skin disease. He just normalized the rest of his skin instead of looking like blotchy mess.
Bentley Wilson
Why do Super Bowl performances suck so much now?
Also, why was Michael a God.
Jack Ward
nah he already was by that point, read "moonwalker"
he might be possibly referring to this.
John Nguyen
He legit had a skin condition, but used make up to even it all out which made him look paler than he was.
Bentley Lee
Why is there a concert in the middle of 'murican rugby, anyway. And tell me some trivia about JJL
Jack Edwards
There's just constant evidence if you want to see the virtiligo.
This was just painful as a pre 2009 MJ fan of the younger persuasion, you had to explain to people with no fucking idea constantly that it was an actual skin condition and there's no such thing as "skin bleaching"
Seeing the entire world change it's tune in 2009 physically disgusted me, I was already skeptical of the media and knew people were fickle and impressionable but I felt like I learned something about the world in 2009.
Owen Perez
I always thought it was fishy. Like, if skin bleaching was a thing, why weren't more people doing it?
Ryan Ramirez
Fucking hell faggot what year were you born?
Jack Lopez
He had vitiligo however skin whitening products definitely exist.
David Gonzalez
You guys are deluded and probably white.
Michael was imitating the poor unpaid kids who danced on soul train every week. he wasn't better than any of them.
but white people never watched soul train so they didnt know this during all their fanboying.
Sebastian Lewis
What else do they have that's superior?
Levi Hughes
He may have copied and borrowed, all artists do. He was still the fucking greatest
Leo Price
>single handedly gets 80,000 people at a football game involved in choreography
>literally brings all of humanity together through his music
Gettin' a little fuckin' emotional here, senpai.
Christian King
Don't you me in any of that you fucking pleb, it's well known michael took the robot dance he used on dancin' machine from harlem street dancers.
When I linked the fred astaire it was in reference to the lean from the smooth criminal video in which he was definitely referencing fred astaire at least partially.
Don't respond to me ever again.
Benjamin Richardson
Did any of those unpaid soul train kids also make Thriller?
Jose Walker
loling @ the mirror

Ayden Davis
Kayden White
Most notably (and popular probably), her father was actor Vic Morrow. He was killed in an accident on the set of the Twilight Zone Movie when a helicopter fell on top of him and two child actors.
Would you like to know more?
Ayden Morgan
Bruce Lee was imitating the other martial arts masters too, and what he did was to synthesize the styles into a system that was uniquely his.
MJ was the Bruce Lee of dance.
Thomas Garcia
That opening gets me so fucking hyped every time. Like how can one man generate that much energy from so many people just by fucking posing? He literally does nothing for like 2 minutes and no one, not even me, is bored of it for even a second. I can't fucking understand why this shit is so cool.
Brody Carter
yeah this, you have to have balls of steel to face up to a Super Bowl audience and just STAND THERE FOR 2 MINUTES
Cameron Walker
Do you prefer the name John 'how do I' Landis or John 'I don't know how to' Landis?
Connor Jenkins
Vitiligo blows. I saw one Indian paramedic that was almost entirely white save for a few brown splotches near her eyes and on her hands.
Levi Anderson
>you have to have balls of steel to face up to a Super Bowl audience and just STAND THERE FOR 2 MINUTES
They were setting the stage up, he was told to do this
Camden Long
He does this in his concerts too though when playing that song, they may have just used the time as an excuse to set up some staging, the opposite of what you are implying
Luis Powell
>MJ will never write his own vaporwave
Ethan Wright
John 'how do I' Landis rolls off the tongue better.
Parker White
Reminder that Michael did nothing wrong except name the Jew
Jaxson Smith
Nathan Nguyen
all I want to say is that they don't really care about us
Cameron Garcia
