@@Itzabhboo yes indeed. He had that raw energy and it was still early in the tour. I don't wanna hear people talk about Dangerous or History Tour, when the man was singing and dancing live the whole time with cleaner, and more energetic movements than in both those tours! Period lol
Yes, on the BWT he had the best energy. But on the HWT he had the best technique, the most precise movements. We can see that slowing down the music and not singing live, allowed him to reach his best level. But after the HWT, he never danced the same again. I never understood why, so suddenly, his way of dancing changed so much. From the "MJ and friends" concerts, there is something wrong.
@@kendrickcampbell7187 The more cleaner moves are in HWT. In HWT, MJ has the best level but with less energy. BWT : lot of energy but less technique. HWT : lot of technique but less energy. DWT : The mix of energy and technique.
That is actually called the mashed potatoes. MJ mastered the Robot IMO. He took it from James Brown and advanced it. However, nobody had James Browns feet. Some, like MJ, do a good impression, but James' feet & legs were other worldly. MJ looks very impressive doing it. James looked magical.
I have to agree. James Brown is originator nobody could move like him.. Michael close top 3 ppl i seen. Michael does the shuffle pretty spot on. Is it really called the mash potatoes when he turn to side doing footwork hand behind his head?
@@lllewis2506 I think so but don't quote me on it. Usher, Cris Brown & MJ all had problems vibrating their legs and shuffling their feet like James. You know how some people have rare abilities? That's JB. On top of that he was a freestyle dancer. It was an emotional expression where his next moves were not planned. Others were step, move, done. James would keep flowing into other steps chaining different dances and putting emotional twists on them. Incredible stuff.
Actually, the “mashed potato” dance move very likely came from the Black church. James probably didn’t invent it, and was not the best at it. He had his own way of doing it. I think he more so popularised it. The same with James slide movements, which can be seen in variations from Tap dance prior to his success. I think what happened was James took pre-existing dance moves and twisted them into his own way, and is what we call the James Brown shuffle. I would argue Michael’s way of doing it was more detailed, whereas, James was more subtle. This is based on a video of him teaching the move in the 70s. What made Michael’s way of doing it so fascinating is that he emphasised each distinct movement of the dance, even at fast speeds. When James would do it, sometimes the nuances of the dance would get lost. In other words, Michael made it his own, but he also made it stronger. Between the two, I’ve seen Michael duplicate the vibration in his legs, the difference lies in his freer positioning. James tended to dance with his feet more so flat, maybe on the tips a bit, but Michael seemed to like to go on his the tips of his feet more. And he does the moves on the tips of his feet more than James would have. In other words, Michael would exaggerate each of James’ movements to make them more pronounced, in his own way. As James way of dancing, I would say that there was not much of a difference between him Michael. They were the same way. Both flowers musically when they danced. Making up whatever they felt, however, Michael was more diverse. So, he tended to incorporate more elements in his dance, from pop locking to tap dance(similar to JB), then he would do stuff from Fred Astaire, etc…but he would take bits and pieces and weave them together. However, the two were also style based, so, they tended to stick to repeating the same moves for years, with Michael occasionally adding a few things over time, more so than James.
Damn...that gold diaper bullshit may have been his worst costume EVER! Who signed off on that shit and gassed his head up? "...looks great Mike!...". GTFOH!
He used to do it occasionaly between 1969-1977. I've never seen him doing it later in his career though, guess it wasn't his bag. But he could pull it off for sure.
@@mundodojoao977 Oh yeah for sure. I think the split is best saved for James. Bruno Mars did it quite a few times in Runaway Baby really well. But I don’t think anyone will come close to Brown’s.
Shake one of your legs leg left to right while keeping it held to the ground with its toe, your other leg does the same thing but just without the need to stay on the ground. For the HIStory Tour he alternates the legs holding down to the ground to make the free leg indistinguishable. Just keep doing it until your legs cause a category 5 earthquake and it'll work.

Just imagine what happens if James Brown wasn't an influence to anyone. Praise James
Then they would be infleunced by someone else
What about Cab Calloway?
I don't want to even think about it 😂
Yeah I've never seen michael jackson do james brown in any of his official music videos... So there's that.
Praise the God James praised
2:02 literally looks like he’s levitating
You forgot about the James Brown moves he did at the BET Awards in 2003
That was funny as hell
Iconic
This was his coolest dance move imo
Mj was doing this since a kid too in his group , I hoped to see it here

Yo Michael Jackson legs really said:"⬆️↗️➡️↘️⬇️↖️⬅️↙️⬇️↖️⬅️↙️⬆️↗️➡️↘️↗️↙️⬇️"💀
I think the bad era shuffle had the most raw energy!!!!
True, but I prefer HWT a lot more.
the first leg of dangerous tour was also awesome

Bruh, I’m gonna cry
0:58 on repeat
1988 bad world tour Michael was SOO aesthetic/ iconic.
I’ll be honest. I do love all eras of him doing the shuffle. But to make it tough, HWT gets the point.
That move was sick during the HWT

Legend. Long live MJ 🕊️

It looks like dancing was Michael Jackson's sex. And why not.

He also did it with the Jackson 5 Dance Machine

Do you like Fencing?
I can't say I engage in it with any sort of regularity. Why do you ask? (LOL)
@@MrCarltonjsmith Because the costume in DWT looks like the fencing dress.
Well being spoiled and surrounded by Yes-men, i am sure didn't help his generally speaking nor his thorough career.
Kinda wish he did the jazz split too
He used to do it occasionaly between 1969-1977.
