Turkey's Got Talent Michael Jackson
Kaan Baybag
There are countless videos of Michael Jackson impersonators on
the web but our favorite is that of 12-year-old Kaan Baybag,
whose dance to “Dangerous” on the TV show Yetenek Sizsiniz
Türkiye, Turkey’s version of America’s Got Talent, is a must-see.
Initially, Baybag stutters and is a bagful of nerves in front of the
three judges, but once the music starts, he turns into a confident
performer.
Irish Dancing to Michael Jackson at Foyleside
The future of Irish dance is here and her name is Kate
McCafferty.
Kate’s Michael Jackson routine, caught on film when she
performed it two years ago at the Foyleside Shopping Center in Derry, Northern Ireland, is hugely inventive and shows
how Irish dance can mingle with other genres of dance and
music to create something totally unique.
Michael Jackson’s “This Is It” Earth Girl
Jasmine Alveran
“Some people don’t get the opportunity to be with Michael on
stage,” says Jasmine. “It was great to meet him—he was very friendly.” Jasmine didn’t have a lot of acting experience before she
landed the role of Earth Girl, but her enthusiasm and easy-going
disposition make it easy to see why Michael would choose her.
