  • Me singing and dancing like Michael Jackson. It's not perfect, but there were a few good moments. I'd probably give it 6 or 7 out of 10. First dance break at 0:32, and I had a pretty good moonwalk around 4:00.
    Also, this is my first video editing project with Adobe Premier Pro CS6. Hope you enjoy!

    Sorry to comment like this, I don't seem to be able to respond to your reply but, I'd just like to add that it took balls to sing live as well, that is something I feel is very underrated in these performances. You've said you have improved since then, well this shocked the hell out of me, so do you think, if you're up for it. You can redo Billie Jean and film it as well and upload it? I know it's a lot to ask for but, I don't think I'd be the only one up for watching it and it'd be great to see maybe the live performance when MJ went on tour! You know with the drum solo and ending dance. A lot to ask for I'm sure, but it's just a suggestion. Thank you for this.

      Thanks +Zoologic21 for the encouragement! I have another Billie Jean video planned, but I need to prioritize it and get to work! I will eventually, probably within the next year. And yeah, this isn't too bad, but you know. It's not quite on the level. Sometimes I feel like taking it down, but overall I think it's worth keeping up.

    4:04, what is that sequence of movements called, or perhaps it's a lot of dance moves one after another, like it's one thing just doing a moonwalk, but it's completely another one setting it up with all of those moves, I'd like learning it, so I ask perhaps it has a name, or you just try to visually copy in this case from you, or directly from some of M.J performances?
