The audience looks as though they are at a funeral.

Poor kid he actually did really well in my opinion and will only continue to improve. He deserved a better reaction from the crown.

That crowd was DEAD.

its so hard to find someone who does the lean in a talent show

He did ok, just needed more energy and heart put into it

He thought he was gonna get a crazy reaction when he did that cartwheel

And next up, we have little Jimmy on the bongos!

1:20 Bruh you tried 😑 He must of felt akward when no one clapped for that LOL😂😂😂

This makes me so happy. MJ was my childhood favorite. I’m so happy to see his legacy is still so strong.

He's young, and I'm sure he's watched this video 1000x. Overall he did great. His start was very strong. After that it fell off. The crowd didn't help him. Step up the energy throughout. I'm not saying anything he doesn't already know. Stay strong and keep working on it! You got this!

Wasn't the best I've ever seen but I give him credit for even trying in front of that many folks. I'll also add he did it better than I or any of the haters here could.

The crowd was like “Oh great here comes Mrs.Johnsons son again “

For his age he's pretty decent. It does seemed rushed, and I wish more time was put into it. I'll bet he'll become a good dancer when he's older.

Love the fact that he incorporated the lean . Cudos

he is Just in the sixth grade most of us can't just stand infront of all the people

that kids mom was probably the principle of the school

He danced like his parents forced him to do it.

Just asking but why did he do a cartwheel

The cartwheel just ruined it.

It's a shame those kids are to young to appreciate The King of Pop. Great job little dude !

The only thing missing is enthusiasm, By that i mean, when Michael performs he's always energetic in his movements :) But this is good for your age :P

HE GOT THE SHOES.

At his age, not too bad. Lol but gosh the hat is right over his eyes. I think he was just very nervous. Lol the middle school audience sucked, i don’t think they ever even saw the smooth criminal dance before

I ❤MICHAEL JACKSON

The crowd is dead afffffff

Moonwalk or Lean?

I don't hate but it was okay.

Audience be like: *the kid dances for 4 minutes straight*: °_° *he does moonwalk*: 👏👏👏👏

Killed it. Beautiful I love it.

This kid literally looks like a lego

Nice job Austin!

Geez, some of the comments here are harsh. He's just a child. Give him a break for crying out loud. There's only one Michael Jackson, then all the rest. I bet if Michael saw this, he'd be proud. I give you a big thumb up for effort, and another thumb up for some pretty good moves. I think with more practice and time, you'll only get better. Kudos to you!

The only thing missing here which would inspire confidence in his movement is audience participation... great job kid :-)

Omg all these people are a bunch of low lives! He’s a KID!! Do people really not have anything nice to say? He seriously went up there in front of a huge crowd of people, had so much courage. It’s people like this with all these stupid, negative comments that make kids his age feel so low about them selves & eventually commit suicide. This kid put on a great performance & I hope he doesn’t let rude people like this stop him from doing anything he wants to.

My question ANNI ARE YOU OKAY

GOOD JOB KID...I GIVE YOU A 10+

Why are you guys hating on this kid he did his best

0:24 the floss was made

So cute ! :)

kid is good, practice makes perfect & he definitely has what it takes

MOM GET ME SOME CORNFLAKES!!!!!!

That was great

This dude is smooth af

Good I give props to this kid for him being brave infront of the crowd especially the girls

This young was man was fantastic!!!!!!!!

That lean was so good why was no one clapping????

The moves may look easy but doing it is the hardest thing

Well he had the guts to do it,more than what some of us would do,even though he really shouldn't have

1:09 and 1:14 when u forgot the steps

the audience were like Dafak

He did some of the moves early

3:00 bro these people are dead. HOW COULD YOU NOT EVEN CLAP??!?!???!!!

This kids a beast. 854 people are cowards. SC was a hard act to repeat.

smooth criminal

Huh I never noticed Micheal did a cart wheel on smooth criminal

hes learning

im in 10th grade and cant do the things this kid can do. the crowd needs to lighten up

Felicidades campeón lo hiciste súper bien , esa inclinación la hiciste muy bien , casi como la del Rey pero te quedó un baile excelente

He even did that move with the shoes... that croud was dead.

Last time I saw, there was no cartwheel in the actual video *goes back and watches the real deal* Yup. I was right. 💀

Poor kid he deserves a better crown

Ill rate 3/5 stars He lacks a few characteristics: -Energy -The Correct Suit -Some speed

Sweet dancing

If I were him I would just not preform

What an amazing and lively audience!!! I could barely hear the music from the cheering! 😳

AWESOME!

he did good

That moon walk killed me 😂😂😂

Like it ..!! Very well done 👍🏼 kid ..!!

NEXT up little Jimmy with the bongos

2:46 the lean

The audience is dead bruhhh wtfff he is good asf bruhhh I hate the audience

Next up: Little Timmy playing the bongos

everyone in the hall is dead and the gravedigger forgot to bury them

Very good.. Uou are the best

My god... THE CHILD OF MICHAEL JACKSON

crowd is LIT AF!!!!

AYYYYEEEE

If he didn't have his hat down over his eyes so far he would have seen his fly down.

Awesom

YO CREO QUE ESTE MORRO NO SE LE TRANSMITIÓ LA PERFECCIÓN DE MICHAEL JACKSON... CUANDO YO TENIA 7 AÑOS, BAILE EN MI ESCUELA Y DE AHÍ BAILE EN 2 BODAS DE MAMÁS DE MIS COMPAÑERAS, PERO ENTRENÉ 1 MES PARA PERFECCIONAR TODOS LOS PASOS TAL CUAL LO HACÍA MICHAEL. HAY QUE GUARDARLE RESPETO A SUS COREOGRAFÍAS.

Non lo capiscono che Michael Jackson e unico😍😍!!!

You Can Dance go ahead kids

ITS JUST THAT MOST OF THOSE PEOPLE LIKE K-POP

This should be on the news XD

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🕴

His dance like baby

Y'all stop hating okay?because he's trying to be good at dancing and you're just destroying his life just like how those others did to Michael.

The audience didn't deserve this performance. 👆

If only he done the moon walk that would be the icing on the cake

For some reason, I have enough balance to do the anti gravity lean without the nails on the floor or needing the shoes ** note ** I'm telling the truth its that you have to put one foot in the back of the one that is pointing foward so you won't slip and fall foward

The kid has got guts that's for sure! Pretty good for a sixth grader but sadly his peers don't seem to know who Michael Jackson is

Damm i was just waiting for this kid to do the moon walk

I wanna dance like that

Siiiiippppp

Cool man

Oh god dang it !!!! Stop it get some help 😂😂 ....

Tough crowd-

The bottom of his pants lol 😂

Before "Leaving Neverland"(Public):"Michael is amazing singer! We want a lot of peformances about him".. After "Leaving Neverland"(Public):"Nahh Michael is a Crimminal".. Pls Stop be like that to Michael!! That movie is one big lie for money, Wade and James trick him and stole his money just because Wade can't Michael Jackson concert and James wanted more money!! If you are know MJ and you know that he couldn't do it please give likes and help Michael and the others. #MJINNOCENT #FACTSDONTLIEPEOPLEDO #KINGOFPOP #SMOOTHBUTNOTACRIMMINAL #MJANYTHINGFORMONEY
