Ever since the late Michael Jackson popularized the moonwalk in 1983, the iconic dance move has entranced people around the world. As a tribute to MJ's influence, Slate V presents a compilation of moonwalks, as captured on amateur video.
0:53 That video changed my life! I remember watching that video years ago and i actually learned how to moonwalk! Learning how to Moonwalk made me get into Michael... and Michael changed my life even more... for the better. KING 1958-2009!
I admire Michael Jackson for many reasons. 1. Hardworking: - spending thousands of hours in the studio rehearsing, practicing, and ensuring he hit every note. 2. Autodidactic: - He loved his work. He was a self learner. 3. Never give-up Attitude:- 4. Perseverance: - why he is successful. Larger than life because he was persistent. 5. Pure at heart: - he has a golden heart and a pure soul. 6.Humanitarian: - Great Humanitarian.
@@firasqahtani4150actually it says June 26 on my end, I’m in Australia. So the OP would be correct as by the time MJ died in the US it was already the day after in Australia, I remember watching it all unfold on the news for a while and I watched the memorial on TV as well. I was 11 and I only “discovered” him 3 months earlier when he did the This Is It announcement (I already knew 2 of his songs but didn’t know his name until then). It took me a long while to process that he was here one minute and gone the next :( this is one of the first videos I remember seeing after MJ died too and I randomly remembered it recently but wasn’t sure if it was still here on RU-vid lol
What is a genius? What is a living legend? What is a mega star? Michael Jackson - that's all. And when you think you know him, he gives you more . . . I think he is one of the finest people to hit this planet, and, in my estimation, he is the true King of Pop, Rock and Soul.
man say what you want about what he supposedly did off the stage, but on the stage michael jackson is and forever will remain the king of pop. he single-handedly revolutionized the music industry. Not to mention he revolutionized dance and paved the way for modern day people like chris brown.
the moonwalk have been the thing to show off since MJ showed it. now it indeed is part of most dance styles and will most likely never ever be forgotten.
I love this...this is the influence MJ had on the world. Even though the moonwalk came from the streets, Michael made it popular....he was already a gifted dancer by nature. We have moves that will come and go...the moonwalk will always be recognized from Michael Jackson.
isn't it amazing to do a dance that you just feel in the moment and 27yrs later ppl are STILL trying to pull it off as smooth as you?? well we dont know how it feels since only ONE man has that pleasure..mj was blessed..
Michael was an amazing man and I miss him so much. I saw Michael do the moonwalk live three times and Im so thankful for having the great oportunity to se him perform. No on will ever be like him! RIP Michael!
Michael just left us with his greatest treasures. . . The way he dances and sings will never be the same. . 2009 has been a tumultuous year yet. two of my favorite music icons went to heaven. -Francis M. - King of Rap (Philippines) - Michael J. - King of Pop (America)
And that is the Power of the late great Michael J. Jackson. Everybody had a go in their live time at the legendary 'MOONWALK" and people will still do it until the earth stops spinning.
Michael's the best, he's the only artist he could unite people of all races, beliefs,ages and countries in one eternal moonwalk. Long Live the King. We love you more!
This goes to show, even though Michael is gone, His Legacy, Love and Spirit will live forever!. Thats also show just how huge an impact MJ had all over the world, There never will be another Michael Jackson ever! Even in death he just made History again, $250 million dollar record deal. Nobody can beat that. Micheal we love and miss you. Long Live the King of Pop, your Legend will never die as long we keep remember him, and his music will always be around.
The moonwalk across the graduation stage was awesome. I remember someone doing a flip off the stage at my sister's graduation but if I could moonwalk, I'd save it for a day like that :0) Awesome video either way.
The natural born talent in this man was truly totally and unabashedly astoundingly amazing! For one... The moonwalk will forever and always be known as "Micheal Jacksons' move". You all gotta admit...he was the best (certainly for me...and I watched alot of wannadoits too) at doing this particular move! RIP. Micheal. "Amen" Peace. Love and Understanding!
WOW! THE Moonwalk is THE most popular dance move on the planet.....Nearly every movie made has included the moonwalk somewhere, and when I ask ppl to randomly just dance: All they can think of is the moonwalk...no matter if u completely suck at it, or you can do it like a professional, The Moonwalk is forever, just like Michael Jackson himself..! RIP
To all the haters, if you don't like Micheal Jackson then do us all a favor and stop watching the videos. Evidently u liked him or u wouldn't be watching he was and still is the king of PoP
Michael Jackson is amazing,that's it. I love him, he has always tried to help everywhere and he had such a great heart...there will be no one like him on this planet
i dont get why people just dont go look it up and see that mj didnt invent it. you are completely right, im glad real mj fans like you did their research and know the truth.
I'm a meticulous person and I've see too many people trying to copy the moonwalk, I pretty sure michael was the only one how perform that step perfectly, fluent and with a great cordination along with the other steps.. If you are agree say thanks Michael.
He was a legend!!!Noone can do or achieve the things he did...I am sooo proud of him and i really miss him.But i know that he is happy now. I love you Michael!!!!!!!!!!!!!
