I agree with you. I find most of them very cringy. I almost have respect they are putting themselfs out like that. BUT. There is an exception! When the impression is on a very high level, i mean when the impressionist is really dancing on a professional level or he even sings live, which is a whole other level, it can actually be really good. The dance moves must be sharp as hell and on point. The ones who sing live are rare and often they try to copy his voice, which is a unique one in the music business and thus hard to copy. That can be embarrasing too. There is one impressionist which really impressed me (i am a perfectionist and its very hard to impress me ;) was Jeffrey Perez. Not all his performances but a specific one : ruclips.net/video/SVOxYWd0Evk/видео.htmlsi=zoA4ba89bo2wbYZr&t=67 BAD in Santa Barbara. He sings actually life and the voice is top. Thats when the untrained listener closes his eyes and thinks " Uh that could be Michael Jackson."
So when somebody has the gift of dancing, a real good voice and looks decent without having to use a truckload of makeup in the face i think its legit to copy MJ 1 on 1.
By the way i also did impressions of him as a young adult, quite professional but only in my room. Because i realised that its not good enough. I wanted to learn singing whilst dancing. And he is the goat doing that. I studied how he moves on stage. Especially how stable his upper body was whilst dancing. Which is important so the voice performance doesn't suffer whilst dancing. I ended up doing the same sounds in between the lyrics. Not because i wanted to copy him but because its a consequence when you tense up your core muscles whilst dancing and singing.
So when somebody makes MJ sounds like ahhh (releasing pressurized air from the lungs) before a phrase or in between and so on because of tensing up the muscles, i respect that. When the same person does it for delivering an exact copy ... i don't know. Its only a copy and it sounds not so natural.
LOL i just realized your an impressionist by yourself. Actually you are quite good. You take it serios and putting in effort. I appreciate this.
I can sing like how he does in 1988 early 1989 I’m 14 and dance for like parties n shit
Well kinda while dancing my voice kinda raspy like 1997 history tour
I respect the honesty, not many people have the confidence to be real and be okay with the backflash. Tributes have to learn to take criticism and not see it always as hate. Victimizing mentality. Took notes, bless! Learning never stops.
My lucky video! Trapson and Krista MJ commenting! Thanks for that Krista. I really appreciate it ☺️Yep we’re all constantly learning in life 🙏🙏🙏
@@HaydenHuynh hi Hayden I was wondering if you wanted/able to do a smooth criminal collaboration with me for a video or performance sometime soon!
Michael trapson really brings back victory era and thriller era but mostly victory but your my favorite mj impersonator
Thanks for that I really appreciate it 🙏
Trapson also has his own twist, which I like.
I totally agree. I'm 50 now and have been a fan since 1983. Alot of fans(tribute artists) look embarrassing
Thanks for that. I really appreciate it ! :) Don’t forget to check out my other videos and subscribe! :)
@@HaydenHuynh I'll do that friend 🎅 PS In 1984 my Mom brought me to the Jackson's Victory tour !! I saw Mike in person !!!!! Not so humble brag
I applaud you for having the bravery to make this one. 👏🏼
Thanks Matt! I really appreciate it 🙏
Love you both god bless you both
Back in 2015, I used to think I was Michael Jackson, but then I was like “What kind of a idiot I was thinking?” Now I know to never think of that again, there can be the only one Michael Jackson. Great video! 👍
Yep.. there’s only one MJ. Glad that you enjoyed my video! :)
I was a person who just became the new MJ Impersonator in Thailand and galloping cosplay
From what I have seen and what the media has made me understand and adapt to the rules that society has viewed,I'm understand and desired. Thank you very much for guiding the right and leaving the mistakes that hurt the fans.
MJ Impersonator's duty, in my opinion, is to preserve MJ's legacy forever...

I also got a copyright strike for Jeffrey Perez singing Wanna Be Starting Something - Looks like that RUclips was thinking that it was Michael Jackson singing. He's that good.

i agree he is that good
@@HaydenHuynh hi Hayden I was wondering if you wanted/able to do a smooth criminal collaboration video or performance with me soon!
6:53 once I watched a video of a LIVE PERFORMANCE and the guy was a performing “Billie Jean”…and he wore the “Beat It” jacket 💀💀💀
Damn that’s some next level stuff right there HAHA I saw a video of a guy (not naming him) do Dangerous in a Bad jacket, it was quite interesting🥲
@@HaydenHuynh there’s also a video of a guy peforming dangerous with a. Red jacket
Please I hope you and Michael Trapson are not enemies😣 you two are my favorite
Hey. We’re not! Tbh I don’t even know if he knows me haha. I’ve only talked to him once! I’m a huge fan of him however 🙏 don’t forget to check out my other videos and subscribe! Thanks for that I really appreciate it
im wanting to do some tribute shows later on
and this is actually like dead on accurate for how alot of the mj tribute artist are, like either their makeup is just so offputting
you can tell that they are wearing a wig, their dancing will be on "why are people paying for this" level, or their singing will just be really bad
or worse of all, they will be salty and not be able to take any constructive criticism because they think they are the best
like i want to maybe get as big as jeffrey perez, rodrigo teaser, or sergio cortes(who are god tier tribute artist imo, i am dying to see them at a concert)
but at the same time i dont care, i just want to have fun and entertain people and maybe even set a path to have my own music career and maybe get to perform and do songs with some of the singers that i LOVE other than michael and still do tribute shows for fun
i dont really care about being "the best", which should really be the mindset tribute artist/impersonators should have
it's not about being the best, to me it's more like keeping michael's legacy alive and introducing more people to his music and most of all, having fun
also 5:03 i remember that video
it was so freaking cringy
When your dancing the energy from the crowd makes you feel like your Michael Jackson but your not him you feel like him
It doesn't make sense how a lot of black impersonators don't even appreciate eras before Dangerous era, we need to do better.
I get you on that point. What also doesn’t make sense is that, I find that people with darker skin (maybe I did mention it in the video) “paint” themselves with lighter makeup and it looks so weird. It’s like… why???? There’s some rare cases on instagram where there’s people who have darker complexion do the earlier eras of MJ - like Off The Wall and Thriller. Bad era, I found now it’s getting slowly covered to death. The coverage for the younger MJ eras are slowly getting there which is good!

@@HaydenHuynh I mostly do Destiny era to Bad era
I cringe when I see Michael impersonators. And people give me so much flack for it. There is only one Michael. Often imitated (poorly) yet can't be duplicated (ever). Impersonators are cheesy... like Elvis impersonators...cheesy. Learn to dance like Michael..fine! No need to try and dress like him or look like him. You can't. Or try to sing like him. Don't. Michael was given a gift from God with his voice, dance and talents . Don't mess with perfection.. RIP Michael❤️🙏
I do like yours, Trapson's and Rodrigo's impersonations along with Alex Blanco
Thanks for that! I really appreciate it :)

Hey stop I need to change my jacket 💀
I can understand people who don't have Michael Jackson costumes, let's say my parents don't really like Michael Jackson (because of the tabloid press), and therefore I don't even have a rhinestone glove , let alone suits.
They used expo marker on that girls eyebrows 💀💀💀
I agree to this! Although I appreciate all impersonators but we share the same opinion about "SOME" impersonators overdoing it.

6:18 I've seen that video and I've been wondering if the person you uploaded it flipped the video
Couldn’t tell you but even then other clips of Navi have mirrored moves too so it can’t be a coincidence that everyone who has uploaded flipped the video
İ really laugh so hard when earnest valentino and navi part was show up 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for put my thoughts in this video🙃
I’ll be the voice of the internalised thoughts HAHAHA - hope you enjoyed the video!
Im a mj impersonator to but i dont wear make up because mj was itself no one ever should look like him its my o,pinion
About time i could relate with another person with the same opinions
Cheers m8, all the best 😊

I think impersonators who get plastic surgery too is just weird... . Also try to find which era u look like better for example I'm a little tan so I fit in the bad era
Impersonators and tributes who get full blown surgery are obsessed... and not in a good way. There's some people who yes, they have had an accident in their personal life or want to have a cosmetic change that they want to have (thats' not related to MJ). But people who literally go up to their plastic surgeons and say "I want to be like Michael Jackson" - I cannot make any justifiable excuse to say that, that is right at all. That's why people do makeup to contour their face - which some do it quite well and some others look atrocious.
With era's and skin tones, literally do any era that makes you happy! That's fine with me and I suppose others who share the same thoughts with me. The only problem is that just don't paint your face white or black because that is just a whole can of worms of problems....
5:11 me dancing in my garage
A lot of people needed to hear this!🙃
Thank you, I agree 100's.
How was it, you went to Invincible tribute in Australia right? Do you have any upcoming review for that?
Yep I've got a vide review on the show! I enjoyed myself there :)
I learned most of the MJ moves I know from tribute artists like Alex Blanco and River Gibbs (he’s not an MJ fan anymore but I did watch his content before he left the fandom). Having good tribute artists who know what they’re doing is really helpful- especially when they can teach you how to dance and maybe sing like Michael.
The most important thing about getting a Michael Jackson tribute right is *putting in the effort* . Michael did it, that’s why he’s still respected today. The same goes for his fans who want to pay tribute to him.
If I was the right physique and had enough good costumes, I would be posting MJ tribute stuff as well, but getting into shape is a long way off for me right now. Wish me luck 🤞
Additionally, I wish more tribute artists did songs Michael didn’t usually perform. I have some ideas for how some of these songs could work, but I need help from a choreographer and stage designer to make the ideas a reality lol
Great video. When i do my performances i sing live in the style of MJ but i incorporate my own style into it. I also hate people using crappy wigs. I just grew my hair out and kept it as it's normal colour.
Thanks for that I really appreciate it. Love your own spin! Don’t forget to check out my other videos and subscribe:)
A lot of fans do it actually. I know of at least two guys who grew their hair out and style it like Michael did in the 90s.
Being yourself is important being someone who your not
I am agreed with you in everything that you say about us !
Thanks for that! I really appreciate it 🙏 don’t forget to check out my other videos and subscribe! :)
Hey man I found u on TikTok I was talking about the mj jacket
Lot of self hatred from looking at the title lmao
Doesn’t get any worse than that haha - don’t forget to check out my other videos and subscribe! :)
I cosplay mj from the 2nd leg bad tour 1988 without makeup or wig but with fedora
You dont have to use make up for mj impersonating unless its professional mj dancer
And even then “professionals”, most of the time look so ghastly…
If I don't know the dance I will improvise
Thank you for making this video I totally 💯 agree with, some of the makeup they do is over the top 😂🤣
Thanks for that! I really appreciate it. Don’t forget to check out my other videos and subscribe! :)
Earnest Valentino an e Casanova were born with their voices like that
1:54 actually,michael firestone wasn't look so bad,but the others,İ really hated their make-up.Especially,the 3rd guy,he looks like a band member of the kiss.🤣
Some of his other looks isn’t the greatest. The picture that I’ve used was the first one that came on the web
They devoted their entire life to The King of Pop, and one time on a amusement park ride I was screaming stuff about me being Michael Jackson and it's a Wierd sycological state that a big Michael Jackson fan that is trying to be a look alike but not trying to change anything really I'm just trying to get the clothes stuff and perform sometimes... Really after that wierd baptism of a amusement park ride that made me feel cleansed for NO REASON
I came into this video expecting to be offended but you actually have some great points here. I’m not an impersonator (I would like to be and respectfully so) but I totally get what you mean with the wig part especially lol.
Thanks! Don’t forget to check out my other videos and subscribe!
5:01 I'm 15 and I have a natural high voice :(
Hey! Like I said to another commenter - some people are born with naturally high voices which is completely ok - I’m not telling anyone to change their DNA or something, it’s just when people put on the “MJ” voice during interviews when it’s about them and not MJ it’s just really cringey…
@@HaydenHuynh yessir thank you for replying :)
I love your Chanel
Ate, you're so right ❤
I'm a Michael Jackson impersonator cause I love the man and I agree so much with you but i don't use makeup and speaking of wigs thx it kinda reminds me to get a new one
Yess so understand this I hate it when tribute do this hahahah
Yep… looks like many have the same frustrations and thoughts. Don’t forget to check out my other videos and subscribe! :)
@@HaydenHuynh don’t worry I have hahaahhah
Great video , I my myself am torn between do I prefer the tribute artist who comes out and preforms as themselves to honour MJ, or the impersonator who goes the full distance. I think a bit of both works but like you say they have to remember they are not or ever will be Michael Jackson. I've also noticed quite a lot now saying there the number 1 and endorsed by Michael , family or estate
An example , I once went to a Queen Tribute band at a theatre . They were good but I was somewhat displeased because they were there just in there Jean's and tshirt playing away . When I pay theatre prices I want to be blown away with costume and energy and not feel like I'm sat watching a pub band.
Hope that all makes sense.
Hi! Thanks for that :) Glad that you enjoyed it.
The number 1 is simply just an ego boost or just a marketing ploy. It's basically just to shove it down your throat to tell other people to choose them over the others. With the endorsed by Michael, estate etc - I've seen older impersonators that have worked with MJ or the "MJ" business - but that is when they had 5 MJ performers in each country... not every local town. The market now is so saturated - especially now with Instagram. Same have official worked with the MJ company etc only once and they just milk that certificate (I know for a fact I would as well) saying just because they got chosen once, they thunk that they're the best until the day that they die.
Sad to hear about that Queen tribute band experience... that's the reason why I'm so iffy about watching tributes is that you never know what you're going to get. The closest that I've ever done is watching the musical Thriller Live which was a good yet different experience. I tend to do research before they come to town and that most of the time I give them a miss because simply that they're not worth the watch :P
I absolutely love your moonwalk !! God gave you a slender build and you friggin nailed it !! MAGIC..... corny but true 👍
Thanks Rick I really appreciate it 🙏🙏🙏
you deserve a subscribe from me
Thanks for that. I really appreciate it 🙏 don’t forget to check out my other videos!
Hey i just ordered the shirt of his from the billie Jean music video with the bow tie
I feel like to many impersonations of mj have a know it all I’m to good to reply to my 2 comments. Like it’s really annoying when they brag about what they have.
I practice every day for my dance try the victory tour Billie Jean for years I tried and better now
E Casanova is one of the best mj impersonators he looks just like Michael during the bad era Michael hired him an also Navi
If you break a Moonwalker's strife they will bring the rest of the pack with them

The thing is why camt nobody LITTERALLY NOBODY CAN DO THE X EFFECT In BILLIE JEAN (I can not to brag) but like if yall want to do Billie Jean atleast do the steps right!!! And domt do the moonwalk to fast and weird
Simply Jackson hit every single one of these lmao
A 1:1 clone of Navi!

@@simplyjacksonmichaeljackso9965 will do! Tho it’s all the way in the US 🤭
@@simplyjacksonmichaeljackso9965 So, you don’t let people tell their full honest opinion of your tributing? Even if it would be criticism?
@@simplyjacksonmichaeljackso9965 trademarked? For what 😂
This is hilarious .............and so true.
Do you think MJ is innocent?
Hey!
Long story short, he is totally innocent as shown by the facts but that doesn't necessary mean that I agree with certain things that he had done pertaining with the allegations...
I'll be making a video soon RE the topic of this. These are going to be my thoughts on the matter.
Don't forget to subscribe and stay tuned for that! :)
Of course he is
Totally.
100% yes he is
I actually talk in a high pitch voice tho- since before I knew MJ
Well some people are born with naturally high voices which is completely ok - I’m not telling anyone to change their DNA or something, it’s just when people put on the “MJ” voice during interviews when it’s about them and not MJ it’s just really cringey…

R.I.P MJ HE WILL ALWAYS BE THE KING OF POP
Have you met rory jackson. Hes also one of the michael jackson tribute dancers and he has that hair like mj
No I haven't but I've seen him around. He's okay. His hair though I pretty sure it's 99% a wig but it's just been stylized to look more realistic than the usual cheap wig.
Serio Cortez is another Mj impersonator actually he looks like him its insane we all miss Mj but he is gone too soon...

In my opinion like the only good impersonation that works for me is Rodrigo Teaser and Michael Trapson,
jeffrey perez is kind of the best out of all of them i hate and the impersonaters who waer glassses with the songs yeah he only did it for the his is it rehaserls
I Respect Your Opinion, I Also Have The Same Opinion
Okay... thanks for that. Don't forget to check out my other videos and subscribe! :)
The ones that were chosen by Michael are the best ones
Navi is pretty old he performed at michael birthday so he's gotten rusty but back is the best.
But even when he was in his prime he was still a bit stiff and that his moves wasn't that sharp
@@HaydenHuynh if you haven’t checked out Fabio Jackson he’s a more natural MJ & he’s pretty humble I think anyway
i am dancing like mj but why do you have to look like him maybe i do my hair a little but not like mj its just knot in my hair and my hair looks like it but not doing that makeup and stuff its just ugly
6.18 that is navi I've met him and to be fair he is 46
However in his "prime" he was still stiff when it came to his dance moves.
@@HaydenHuynh he performed for Michael twice tho
@@HaydenHuynh also you can search up “Navi Smooth Criminal Michael Jackson’s birthday party” and you will find that he was amazing in those clips it’s just because Navi has gotten older but in the original clips from 2003 where he performed for MJ he was 27 so he was at his very best then so that was his prime.I know now the moves are extremely stiff but I think the clips your looking at are from 2010 which where not his prime
Also I love your videos and I don’t mean any hate
I know someone who can do Michael's voice!
Jeffrey perez is goated

Subscribers
No.
@@HaydenHuynh ok
Out of curiosity. Why would you ask that question?
@@meganlynnglass because he's also a Michael Jackson impersonator who's also a loser like the rest of the impersonators they have low self-esteem and they're out of touch with reality and they don't know how to be themselves and come up with their own entertainment craft in music
How dare you put Carlo Riley in this
Time stamp?
@@HaydenHuynh carlo riley was friends with mj
But when do I mention him in the video? Do you have a time stamp?

Good opinion I must say... I hate the make-up part, too draggy and non authentic... like you said a horror movie look , Bad nose part also, triangle nostrils and most of all, was that know it all part NAVI ? 😉 I liked this video , your not like those others who just post it, but don't say anything about it.
No hate to fabio but he the one who thinks he's Michael, like he dresses like him and copy's his hairstyle and he tries to act like Michael
Narcissistic
Bro seriously...
Don't judge them
From "THE BEST" MJ Impersonator
Edit #1 lol i wrote this in florida 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
What?
you are funny
The female is Tiffany Jackson
It's not.
I can do a good voice on Elvis lol
I would definitely love to hear that
At 6.18 just saying his singer is better than his dancing just watch one of his
There's some cases where he's poorly singing over MJ's vocals or he is lip syncing his own vocals but it's more so shouting.
@@HaydenHuynh he only started the singing in 2012/2013 that’s why there’s lots of clips of lip singing from before
These are all true and all anoying
I'm not big fan trapson he's a bit of race baiter in Michael Jackson community people who worked with him have said he's narcissist
Can’t comment on this to be honest as I don’t know anything about it….
Fact
Can't touch on anything that I've never heard before in my life!
I have to disagree. He is not narcissist. He's a sweet guy that speaks his mind. He may sound mean to others in their opinion but he's not mean. He respects Michael a lot.
You Good Dancing To, But Your Stuck Singing.
?
@@HaydenHuynh You Stuck Singing.
i see too many white mj impersonators
Nothing wrong with that. Most of them do clown makeup however that just looks goofy
I don’t like Michael trapson tho 😒 he made fun of me and he makes lies up that some of us blackface but he whitefaces
I don’t think whiteface exists bro
