Bob fosse took his style from Black legends like John Bubbles and Cab Calloway, who were doing this DECADES before Fosse. This jazz shit was MJ’s own culture. It’s crazy that a white man is credited like he invented it.

5’9/5’10 is not 1.70…

This is Michael Jackson trying to leave a Japanese airport in the late 2000s

Had someone say this to me recently, I can see why people think that and I do think dying just after announcing a huge tour adds to the mystique, but his death would have always been a global seismic moment regardless so….no

Michael could have died at 25, 35, 50, 65 etc and his passing still would have stopped the world. His legacy had already been established decades ago.

The very specific Michael obsession that people can get is hard to explain, he really can take over your life. I like to think it’s because he was so unique and his energy is something we won’t ever be able to explain.

I knew the movie would create new fans but to see the impact it’s having.. dare I say it’s nearly entirely positive? The public have ignored the critics, new fans are learning about the real him etc. I couldn’t have wished for a better outcome ❤️

Crazy that this fake couple kept seeing each other after they were both divorced and in other relationships! They must have really enjoyed pretending to be together 🤔

Some of you just love making things up don’t you

all veteran Michael Jackson stans rn:

As long as the locals don’t read the Yvette story I’m fine with them knowing about the rest of Michael’s life 🫣

GIVING OFF THE WALL #MetGala

Adrián Rosales Smooth Criminal was literally dedicated to Fred Astaire

Siggy never played with his uncle. He always spoke up and defended him not just because he’s family but because he knows him and experienced him as one of the oldest Jackson’s grandkids. See how he defended Paris

did y’all see that tiktok with the lady that went to school with michael 👀 she mentioned him being picked on by this class bully and diana picking him up from school

gianmarco People say MJ stole like Bob invented the dance style. Bob himself got the moves from the Harlem black caravans that were performing in jazz clubs as early as 1931.

Imagine being so pressed about Black excellence, you call influence ‘theft’ when it’s Michael Jackson doing it. Bob Fosse himself was greatly influenced by Black vaudeville dancers. Now check that.

As per usual non fans are reacting v weirdly to finding out that Fosse was a big influence on Michael…like he always said he was 💀

Man who wrote ‘Palestine, don’t cry’ was pro Israel?

It’s really not that deep, Michael spoke at length about who he was influenced by. He just became better than all who came before him and we’ve had not had anyone better since 💀
