Pointless thread IMO

We knew that already, bad timing for this thread.

Well everyone seems to think MJ invented the Moonwalk when he didn't all he done was Popularise it

There was a major discussion about the origin of the moonwalk in the MJs Groove Theory subforum that credits some of the other dancers and discusses Michael's contribution. You should look it up. It was a very good discussion. I think this thread should be deleted since there was already a thread about it in Mjs Groove Theory and it doesn't belong in GD anyway.

I just bumped the thread in Mjs Groove Theory

yea think most fans would know that, the way that guy dose the backslide looks weird (maybe were used to seeing mj do it his way) but that guy takes small steps(slides?) back ratehr them mikes long ones

This thread seems very mean spirited in my opinion

 

[mjgem]

Michael has always said himself that he didn't invent the moonwalk.
Don't see the point in this thread. No need for negativity right now.
