I'm gonna see if I can find that thread and post this video over there.  i thought when mj was trying to make that transition between child star to an adult those are the old school entertainers he was hanging out with to make that transition. To make a thief, make an owner; to create crime, create laws. | |

He only mentioned James and Sammy and the Nicholas Brothers at the time. I'm not too sure if he mentioned Bob but it's a possibility he did too. | |

Fosse's influence didn't show until the Triumph tour came around "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |

I remember someone mentioning the same thing when the video first came out. She definitely lifted from that video. | |

Just kidding But yeah, I think its safe to say that Michael has probably seen this movie, probably several times too. I bet he's read the book as well.MJ L.O.V.E: https://www.facebook.com/...689&type=2 / YOUTUBE: http://www.youtube.com/us...nderSilent | |
