While Michael Jackson can be a divisive figure- you seem to either love him or hate him- there is no doubt that he held the title of “King of Pop” for an impressive tenure.
In the realm of performers he looms large to this day.
His songs are still instantly recognizable, as is his idiosyncratic style of dance.
His moves can immediately be recognized in the shoes of the right dancer.
Those black shoes with the signature white socks immediately signifies that a Michael Jackson impersonation is about to come to the dance floor.
Anyone else remember that iconic “tap-tap-tap” sound when MJ would walk on stage?
In fact, for a young fella named Brett Nichols, being recognizable as MJ has been a blessing.
…Or maybe talent is the correct word!
After Brett performed a stellar dance routine at Pitman High School where he nailed a Michael Jackson dance extravaganza, he has been quite the topic of interest on the internet.
And we all know impersonating MJ is near impossible for most.
It’s an amazing accomplishment all in itself.
So much so, that he was even asked by his high school to return to reprise his performance.
And clearly, his legend lived on amongst his peers, as they go absolutely wild at the first drop of the beat.
This ought to be good!
The legend making video in question happened at the very same spot, and catapulted not only Brett into the limelight, but the attention gained by one of his videos brought the Michael Jackson song “Billie Jean” back to the Hot 100 list.
Now that’s an infectious talent!
He really does have an uncanny talent.
Every little detail, from MJ’s hat tilt to the finger flick, is embodied in Brett’s performance.
Obviously he even has the outfit down.
The black suit with the hat, white socks, leather shoes, tie and white arm band all brings Brett into being the second coming of Michael Jackson.
Maybe the whole “reincarnation” thing is real and that really is MJ. Or his spirit in the kid.
At his old high school, Brett is a king among kids.
The crowd lose their minds as he steps through all the classic Michael Jackson moves.
When he gyrates the audience go wild… at least the girls do.
This kid has some serious talent!
Now back in the day, MJ would get the girls crying and even fainting with his insane dance moves. That should be Brett’s next goal!
It’s rare to see a young man with such an interest in past performers like MJ.
Apparently, according to a commenter who went to school with Brett, he is actually an awesome young man:
“Went to school with Brett he’s a very down to earth guy that no one would ever bat an eye to until he built up the courage to show off his true passion. He first did it in 2014 when I was a senior and all I could say was that I was shook just as much at the next person. He’s a hell of a guy and one good dancer!”- melvin dagreat
When he throws off his jacket, you could not measure the decibels the crowd is putting out!
After Brett’s first video went viral, he understandably became a legend among his classmates.
Now that he had finished his studies, his former peers seem to see him as a living legend.
The man is bad.
The man is dangerous.
And the title of living legend is rightly deserved.
I shudder to think of the hours of practice it would have taken this kid to reach this level of perfection.
He has a supreme confidence which was present even in his earlier videos.
And of course, it’s not a Michael Jackson dance routine until you do the moonwalk!
Now polish those shoes, play MJ, and try to dance like Brett here.
You may not come close, but it does feel good doesn’t it? Like a really, really smooth criminal.
