Elvis was the best performer that we have ever seen on this green Earth.

I so dont agree with that, this is where i will jump on the MJ wagon - MJ is the greatest/best entertainer ever period. No contest.

Then you obviously have seen no performance footage of Elvis from 1969-1973.

Make an Elvis thread in Music & Box Office if you want, but leave him out of here.

There is no need for a poll, it's obvious who the people prefer.

Bingo

ElRazur.. do you know anything about performing arts or detail of either dancer?

You refer to Michael Jacksons moves, and yes they are 'his' moves, he invented the majority of what you see on screen. Mc Hammer did not invent the majority of his. Furthermore, Michael Jackson actually improvises a lot of his work which is unbelievable when you look at it on screen. This happens in such videos as Thriller and Billie Jean where MJ turned up, told the director he would just go out there.. did it.. and shazam.. magic.

Truly an awesome artist only mellowed somewhat by his recent actions.

Sense

He didn't invent the moonwalk though!

It's called the backslide!

There might be some Gord based dance action posted soon. Got a show for performing arts and the breakdancers have been invited.. its getting recorded so hopefully i can get a copy and get it on the PC. Dance fans should recognise one/two/three of the moves.. as with MJ.. moves are invariabley crossed over.

Hi to everyone at overclockers

My first post her. Back to the topic..

I think this is the earliest moonwalk ever done. Dont know when it was but by judging the quality of the pictures i'm assuming it was a long time ago!
