Michael Jackson may have passed from this world in June 2009, but his spirit is most definitely still with us. First came the posthumous hologram projected at the recent Billboard Music Awards. Then a teen's viral performance in a high school talent show.
According to an article in Today, Brett Nichols killed the choreography to Jackson's 1983 hit, "Billie Jean," landing 2 million YouTube hits in a single day.
Needless to say, the 17-year-old Californian won not only the competition, but the hearts of viewers internationally with a moonwalk as smooth as Michael's.
"This is something that really inspires me, and then it was later I thought, 'Why isn't this something I can't do?'" said Nichols. But few can.
Prepare to pinch yourself around the 1:11 mark. Watching this kid will have you tripping back in time, and sliding across the linoleum for nostalgia's sake.
A seven-year-old opened her mouth, and this mindblowing Billie Holiday cover came out.
