Wade Robson? Who's he? Or she? Dish the dirt. I'm all for discovering new artists! BTW, what's up in England. Normally when things gets bland in the States, the UK will pop us out of the doldrums. In comedy, there was Eddie Izzard and Reginald D. Hunter. Well musically, you can't get any blander than it is now. Brits....what you got for us? Any great dancers/singer/performers? | |

There´s some cool stuff. My favourite men in one piece.  "When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all." | |

I always thought Prince was far more JB than Michael. The clips really confirm it. It's cos MJ incorporated more of the grace and flow of Fred Astaire and Jackie Wilson as the years went by instead of doing straight JB. | |

I agree...MJ really incorporated a lot more polished choreography than straight up JB...I think what Prince did was utilize James's moves and added his Prince thing (the freak flag shit...grinding the floor, the classic hand movements...) But the thing with JB and Prince is their moves seemed less rehearsed , less chereographed than MJ...Personally, I liked Mike's dancing a lot more during the "Dancing Machine," Triumph and Victory tour eras than his later years....He was a lot more spontaneous back then....But that said, MJ is the more complete dancer...

I prefer old Michael just relaxed and having fun on stage like this: http://www.youtube.com/?v=alOUCHN_Mkc | |

I was just thinking Jackie should have been in that clip.
And on a different note, Prince's splits are incredible... | |
