Meet the Dancing 'Backpack Kid' Who Stole Katy Perry's Spotlight on 'SNL'
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 май 2017
- During this weekend's star-studded 'SNL,' one unknown teenager wearing a backpack stole the show. During Katy Perry's performance of her new song 'Swish Swish,' 15-year-old Russell Horning became a social media sensation as his dancing skills were given center stage. "It was really nerve-wracking because half of the country was watching me," he told Inside Edition. "You can't mess up on live TV." Horning was contacted by Perry earlier in the week after his Instagram page was recommended to her. #InsideEdition
They made it all as cringe as possible and success

Kid during interview: “Yeah I swung my arms back and forth and now I’m a millionaire”
@CyborgKing200 oh but you can imagine tower speed run with femboy outfit lmao
LMFAO wtf is this world
Smh
don’t worry he’s not a millionaire, his net worth is $500K so half that 😂
@South to North oh yeah you're right 🤮
I can't believe the human race has devolved that a kid waving his arms and not smiling is so interesting. So much talent being exposed
Yeah, it's embarrassing.. There a lot of talented kids out there, but they get 0 attention.
@@relyk4771 can't say embarrassing when your not one of those kids
@@iz7hm secondhand embarrassment
it aint that serious bro
go give the kids w talent exposure then and stop complaining
And then nobody ever talked about him ever again...
Hey, at least thousands of people talked about him for 5 years... Something that will never be said about you!!

Today's generation has far surpassed the empty talent of yesteryear. Beethoven, Brahms, even much later, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Etc., and dancers like Gene Kelly and all of the jazz/blues greats, just to name a tiny few, yeah they were "OK" for sure.

What bro he created it
@@andrewortiz8044not much to create. Swing arms with soulless expression while wearing a backpack. Rinse and repeat.
@@FWDSUXARSE still, it became the most popular dance for the year
Fortnite wasn't a thing in 2016.
One year later , he thinks he is popular and powerful enough to sue Fortnite
Jay Cartwright ruclips.net/video/rhaBb36qqGI/видео.html
He didn’t make it
Fortnite has lots of money, and suing gives you money, so why not?
His mom sued Riot Games... he's still 17 and couldn't himself. FYI
Do you think he stole it off of Jststudio?
He became “famous” by doing a dance he didn’t even invent
@@donald3343 type Ryan mayall the dance made 9 years ago that's his dance check your facts and this dance was done before in video called look what I can do
Alien Bob he saw it at a prom dance I thinl
@big Noob here is the older version before mashed potato ruclips.net/video/4N-C22u4FfU/видео.html watch till the end he just does bunch of talking and starts doing the dance at the end
Fortnite made this move popular right?
@@Trancer006 not really it became a meme
2017 was a crazy year
no ways it has been 4 years-
when u r dead inside, but dance is life.
chris_ xconj his face is so Normal
Omg yes! haha
Why is no one talking about how serious his face is when he flosses.
He looks like he needs to take a dump right there.
NO ONE lmfao😂😂
I think it's the fear of not doing it right...I mean he was on live tv and Katy Perry was right there.
Lmaoo
Flosses
My guy looks like a teen version of Mark Zuckerberg
Tbh this is so cringe when u come back after 4 years
I hope all of you know that's not actually him trying to dance. He's kind of a meme at this point for all you older ones making comments like "this is what you call dancing"
a meme wow better than a dance I guess.😂😂😂😂
Marylin Monroe its better than him actually attempting to dance, because as you can see he sctually danced with his friends
