I am a 63 year old man and that means that I am the same age that Michael would be now. And that means that I grew up loving Michael's unbelievable talents since he and I were both 11 years old. Which has made me his number one fan. With that said, I would like to share my thoughts on your performance. Young man, you were simply amazing!! Your attire, your attitude, your dance moves were all on point!! I couldn't help but smile throughout your awesome performance!! Thanks for loving Michael's talents as much as I do. I have a TH-cam Playlist entitled "Michael" and guess who's amazing TH-cam performance just got added to that Playlist!!😁💯💯! Bless you young man!!
holy moly this has to be the best complement i have EVER received. all i can say is thank you thank you thank you! i love keeping the legacy alive and performing his routines. it’s a blast!
Fun fact: Michael jackson actually had special shoes in order to do the lean. It used pegs in the floor and holes in the shoes to lock him into place. If you watch on the stage you can see he used the same idea because theres 2 pegs on stage. That shows me he did his homework on that lean
Can we all just appreciate all the high quality camera angles and editing that went into this, instead of it being recorded shakily and vertically on one person's potato-pixel phone camera and uploaded straight to youtube?
3:52 I hope that you felt how Michael felt when he made crowds of people scream out of their minds!😁 And please don't forget to bow as Michael always did at the end of all of his performances.. it's a show of gratitude to the audience! You were simply AMAZING 👏!
Props to your friend that came in to take the spotlight off you so you could get ready for the lean (3:52). Even after knowing the trick behind the lean, it never gets less amazing to see it. This was amazing and I wish you all the best.
@@HotRod12667 No yeah, I totally agree. Regardless of the trick behind it, it still takes a lot of strength and communication with your body to be able to keep your feet as close to flat as possible and get back up. I was just saying that it would’ve been a bit awkward if the friend wasn’t there to take attention off Jonny while he was getting prepared for it.
@@charadreemur7990 Well, even Michael had a little kid dancing to distract the audience just before he and his backups did the lean in the music video, so all legit!
@@ronsedlak4019The kid really wasn't distracting, she was a main character of the film the music video was in, moonwalker. Michael was already ready with a rope tied to him so he wouldn't fall, as the shoe trick wasn't invented until 1992 for the dangerous tour.
I grew up in the 80's. I'm not gonna lie this choked me up. I had to wipe my eyes by the end. Thank you for bringing me back to those magical days, young sir. Thank you for honoring one of the most beautiful performance artists this world has ever known with such a dedicated performance of your own. Even through blurry eyes, this was amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
absolutely incredible. never stop dancing. Doing the lean on stage is a huge w. also idk how you were able to see on stage when the lights went out! freaking awesome bro.
I’m 63 African American. I used to dance three hours a day. Seen Michael live. Watched him thousands of times just to see him move. I can dance. I said all that to say this. Excellent. Smooth. Rhythmic. Polished. Bravo ! Bravo ! Sublime. I give you 9.9.9. Only Mj gets my 10. You young man gifted. You have talent. You made my day. Bravo . Bravo
Awww brings tears to my eyes seeing people still loving MJ and keeping his spirit, music, and dancing, alive, through excellent performances like this. I think Mike will be inspiring artists for generations upon generations to come
Very clever misdirection with the sudden guest "invader" to keep everyone's eyes away from you during the setup for *The Lean* ™. And excellent execution, as well.
That was awesome and spot on. My mother took me out of the shower to see MJ do the moonwalk for the first time at the Apollo Awards in 1983 because he was the man. Rock on brother.
Just proves that Michael still is spanning more than three generations and has been an inspiration to so many. I’ve been a fan since my brother allowed me one cassette tape from his Columbia subscription. I chose wisely: Thriller!
@@soulplane7320 like i was gambling (i’ve never actually gambled before but it’s what i imagine the feeling is like). i did the lean perfectly like every 8/10 times in rehearsals. i was excited, nervous, but oddly experienced a mixture of confidence and fear going into position for the lean. i thought, “if i nail this it’ll be awesome, but if this is one of those times i fail it’ll be the only thing people remember.” thankfully it went well and when i got up i was so hyped haha!
There’s a typo in your title! It says school talent show… Isn’t this some kind of New York Broadway thing? Johnny Cruz…WOW! Editing: Fathom 👍 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤
You SMASHED it mate! I did a smooth criminal performance at my school at age 15 (I’m 37 now) Yours was top notch! Never give up on dancing man don’t let life weigh you down! Much love ❤
Found this at one in the morning, went through the whole thing and I just couldn’t stop myself from clapping once it finished. There’s nothing I could say that wouldn’t be a repetition of another persons comment, so awesome stuff! Definitely gonna revisit this and show family.
They may forget the song you danced to....the name of the distraction guy.......what you wore. They ALWAYS REMEMBER the magic of that lean. A M A Z I N G! I come back to watch that all the time...makes me smile.
And the actual lean by dear Michael Jackson wwas done with special shoes! This guy is absolutely incredible!! Amazing talent. He will be dancing in his life as a professional! Yes. Power to you guy! I hope you have all your dreams come true 💝!!!
Wow. I'm an old lady who watched MJ develop his skills from the very beginning, and I'll tell you: You're extremely talented. I hope you're able to continue your hard work and have access to the resources you need to follow your dreams. You could definitely go places if you do, and I'll be thrilled to see it.
Dude... this is amazing! Mj was "the" ultimate entertainer of our time. He put so much into every performance. It had to be perfect, no exceptions and that is what I see here. He would be proud of you!
I'm a 42 year old woman who grew up adoring Michael. I have long been able to moonwalk ( I actually learned by starting doing it originally on rollerskates!) In a high school lip synch show I played Jordan Knight in a New Kids on the Block song performance, purely because I cam moonwalk and he use to do that as well. You've got an excellent moonwalk down!!! I just about lost my mind when you did the lean! (Do you know I never looked into the trick behind doing that sweet move!? I don't know why!?) When MJ passed away me and my ex husband went out to a bar got drunk and sang ONLY Michael Jackson songs as a tribute to him. I still have my Michael Thriller doll. It's the size of the old school original G I Joe dolls! I still love it!! Excellent job brother! I'm happy to see people still digging MJ!!!
I remember seeing Michael live in 1996 (I was nine years old). Being a fan of Elvis Presley, after that concert, I asked my father, "Daddy, is it ok for me to have two favorite singers?" Sir, this is the first time I'm watching a dancer and feeling the same vibes I get when watching my favorite celebrity of almost thirty years. You rock.
What an OUTSTANDING performance! The choreography that had to go into this performance must have been extremely difficult and time consuming. What dedication and hard work that must have gone into this performance in mind boggling. Well done young man! I'm absolutely certain the "King of Pop" would have been very proud and flattered by that performance! You KILLED it!
All I could do was smile throughout this performance. I am 61 yrs old and had little Mikie just amaze me every time I saw him perform. Since I was a kid the Jackson 5, then Mike on his own, have just been a joy to watch. Your performance was so on point during this show, you should be proud that you did such a fine job. I don't care about what Mike did, although he chartered this dance style, you crushed it kiddo. Good Freakin job. Don't let any haters put you down. Everybody has to start somewhere. Kudos to you kiddo.
I appear to be late to the party, dude I grew up watching the moon walker video tape on repeat. You did such an amazing job here. I can only imagine the hours of practice you put in to get it down so solid. Fantastic performance!!!! 👏
Very elegant performance, congrats, bro. If I were in the area where you live, in the country, and knew you were presenting 'Smooth Criminal' alone, I would've grabbed my three brothers and supported you as background dancers. And if I had to beat the choreography into my brothers, lol.😆😇
@@jonathancruz1764 I beg your Pardon sir, this looks like Months & Months of practice.Me & the Boys used to have a dance off in the streets back in the late '80's trying to see who was the best M.J. Dancer.
The amount of time that he had to dedicate to perfecting that performance had to have been insane.. one of my favorite songs and dance's ever.. you did great!
Me and my brother was waching today in 2024. We are from Brazil. We want to congratulate you Jonny, your presentation was perfect, we loved it so much. A beautiful tribute to the king ❤
Wow!!! That was incredible!! I remember when Thriller came out, and my generation was absolutely mesmerized by Michael Jackson. We had never seen anything like it, and were (and still are) in complete awe. It’s really hard to explain the impact Michael Jackson had in that era, and I have wondered if it could affect people now anything like it did then. This AMAZING performance brought back that old excitement, and was a joy to watch! That LEAN!!! Holy crap, I love that! I hope you had a blast doing it. Thanks for sharing!
Honestly this is soo good, It would be awesome if you could tryout for AGT or something like it, even if you didn't make it you would still have all of us appreciating your work
You have some moves, great timing and Michael would appreciate the work you put in on the hand details. Those movements you did are always missed even by professional Michael impersonaters
I read many of the other comments and to me they were all understated. This was simply an unparalleled, inspired, supreme, virtuoso performance because it was not only technically perfect but you were clearly filled with the MJ spirit. Unbelievable and unforgettable performance.
I know this is 2 years old, but dude this is incredible. The movements are so sharp, just like the man himself. The fit is also awesome too. Everything about this is so good, nice work!

Where can I find the shoes and nails?
While the other guy was dancing he locked is shoes into the board on the ground, but it is a awesome effect
Brilliant and that "YEAH JOHNNY", reminded me of Karate Kid, lol
thank you! and i couldn’t hear that during the performance but i loved listening back to it haha
