Anyway... Stating that MJ copped all his moves from the old timers is like stating that Gaetano Vinaccia taught Jimi Hendrix how to play the guitar... Jimi may not have invented the guitar, but he definitely brought it to a level that most had never dreamed. I give credit to where credit is due... MJ could move.

He copped all his moves from the old timers as that "origins of the moonwalk" video proves. Nothing wrong with that but let's give credit where it's due. Those old timers.

Jackson was talented but had mental issues. I'm all Jackson'd out. Liked the J5 but not a Mike solo fan..... ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22640197 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 14:44:12 EDT Re: [video] Ronnie Hawkins "MoonWalk" http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22632743 anon : I thought MJ invented that dance step. Regardless, they are all amazing dancers and leagues ahead of what I can do.

The problem with a slow version is you don't get done watching it for the first time and think "how did he do that?".
The slow version on the original video also tricks my brain.

The MJ Compilation WOW :o

^^ the moonwalk at the beginning of that with the spin to tip-toe move at the end is epic

BTW, go to 1:30 in this video for a better representation than that weird OP video. ;P

i think MJ was first to call it the moonwalk, instead of the backward slide or whatever... anyway

(youtube clip)
That video was a lot cooler. Tap dancing is really impressive sometimes.

It just looks like a guy sliding his feet in a weird way.

When someone does it fast, it looks awesome. It tricks a person's brain into thinking he's walking forward while moving backward, and it takes a double take before people actually look closely at the feet and see how it's done.
