You're gonna laugh but back in the day when I saw that i always wondered if at the part where the men are all in the middle and they lean forward and then
straighten up, I wondered if they were really truly doing that or if it was a camera trick!!
Every dancer was awesome in Smooth Criminal!! |

They actually did that lean trick. Michael patented special shoes to allow for it. Pure genius!

In the video I think it was just a harness though. But he did patent the shoes to do it live in concert. And be awesome.

MJ was a BAMF in that video. He crushed a pool with his bare hands, sexed up some bitches, and SHOT a mothafucka!

Ok, so I'd never seen the "lean" before so I just watched it. Why would anyone in their right mind try to do that?! When you're a kid and a
little naive sure...but as an adult? You should know better than that!!
(I say this because a few people say they've tried to do it and were unsuccessful |

Oh man, I love Smooth Criminal one of the best videos I've ever seen, mind you all the best music videos I've seen come from the same person. Michael
Jackson.

I've decided it's one of the best videos ever made.

So it is true? Cool!! Believe me it's one of those situations where it could be a camera trick for all I cared. It reminds me somewhat of a performance
Nsync did. Media was all on their backs saying they lipsynched and all that crap and then this performance came on and I remember hearing someone on MTV saying
they didn't care if the guys were lipsynching because the dancing was phenomenal.
The MTV awards 9/9/99 is what I'm referring to. I believe Britney danced before and then they danced with schooldesks. If I've got the wrong awards, sorry. |

The dance in SC is sick. OMG. And the song - I can listen to it a hundred times in a row and not get tired of it.
One thing that's cool, because I love old hollywood - is that MJ was influenced by the old musicals and people like Fred Astaire/Gene Kelly. And you can see than in his videos - but he had his own magic that just made him unreachable. |
