gee gee gee gee babbby babbby

 

[Dice]

Ciara, BoA, Jonte, Jamal Sims, Rino, Christopher Scott, etc.

 

[Sol..]

I was not impressed by the OP video. But I guess if you are gonna keep it within the domain of pop stars there ain't nobody better I can think of.

 

[Kreunt]

 

[MIMIC]

Usher is everything Chris Brown wishes he was. A better dancer. A better singer. A better person.

Better songs, maybe.

Better singer and dancer? Eh....

 

[TwntyOneTwlv]

nope

what the fuck did I just see

legs don't work that way!

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Usher shits on Chris Brown.

 

[yogloo]

The answer is always prince, david bowie or michael fassbender on gaf.
In some cases it's prince, david bowie AND michael fassbender.

 

[Loofy]

nope

 

[SolidChamp]

He's a woman beating piece of shit and in that video it's all just MJ copied moves. What a talentless hack.

.

 

[Popparoks]

Thread should have been over a long time ago.

 

[PaddyOCanager]

nope

Yeah...because I'll totally be bringing ladies home with that move....

 

[GQman2121]

Chris Brown is a fine dancer. The majority of his albums are also decent R&B too. But the Fine China video is a poor example of both. He's basically imitating MJ the entire time, which is kind of his thing and speaks to the brilliance of the originator anyway, but still, there are much better examples out there.

 

[Wiktor]

Actuall professional dancers? Chris Brown is excellent among singers, but let's not go overboard, he's at best average when compared to top people who actually dedicate their whole career to just dancing.

 

[IceCold]

He dances like a poor man's MJ. He's a talented dude but also a total shit head.

 

[zeioIIDX]

I will always be partial to TakeSomeCrime dude .... but I know there are professionals that do better

This person gets it. I love this guy's moves, probably my favorite dancer that isn't Michael Jackson. (Between me an NeoGAF, I've had to check my "straight card" a couple times because his moves in a couple videos are incredibly sensual/sexy for a guy but it works. See his video for Mister by Kara)

 

[Fusebox]

Thread should have been over a long time ago.

Dude looks like he's having conniptions.

 

[DataStream]

Yeah...because I'll totally be bringing ladies home with that move....

You dance like that and girls will be picking you up.

 

[Twilight Gap]

Only live performance of his that impressed me was the one at the grammies a few years ago:

It's not really the dance itself so much as it is the performance. Most modern artists, including Brown, are lacking in showmanship IMO, which makes watching even complex choreography unengaging. Being able to pull off a bunch of moves only goes so far, and while I give him credit for being able to dance exceptionally while moving, there's not much else that distinguishes him from a background dancer.

 

[.GqueB.]

Is that good dancing?

Looks like he is trying to hold in a poop.

Yea I'm really not sure why that was posted. This was years ago but Omarion killed it in the the video for touch.

Many of these moves have gotten me laid over the years.

That's pretty much what he is though. It's not like he's singing live on stage while dancing.

There are song and dance men; and then there's just dance men. Brown is the latter. His vocals are completely studio produced.

meh @ OP

Also,

 

[nhlducks35]

Definitely beats Rihanna, that's for sure

 

[MattKeil]

Amazing that someone could copy Michael Jackson that closely and yet completely misinterpret "Beat It."

 

[Tekniqs]

 

[Jindrax]

What's with all these stupid threads. Like the other pop thread proclaiming that Lorde is ultimate pop music xD
Better dancer? USHER, NEYO, JASON DERULO, heck even one trick pony poppin Jon is better.
OP don't makean thread because you're a fanboy and just like the dude.

 

[.GqueB.]

Agree to disagree on that one. Isn't really my cup of tea. Dude cray.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

As far as Singer/Entertainers of his level go? No.

 

[Nemesis_]

YANIS MARSHALL

I guess it depends on what kind of dancing you're talking about

[bigDdestruction]

This dude from x-factor is hella hilarious with his dancing, sorry for the low quality gif.

 

[subrock]

Just Timberlake did a 13 minute live performance at the MTV Video awards last year. In one take. In front of an audience. While singing.



and then there are thousands of better dancers out there who are not known at all. They're the ones usually dancing behind celebrities on stage. or choreographing.

Holy shit. I came into this thread to say JT and this proves it. Jesus he's good. I can think of very few people that could do what he did. MJ is maybe one of them.

(And I say all this as someone who fairly exclusive listens to house and techno)

MJ, JT, Usher, BoA, Rain... not many others who run in that crowd.

NIGGA OMARION CAME ON STAGE LIKE SWITCHIN YA CHARACTER IN MARVEL VS CAPCOM

Well, if that's true then he's completely unimpressive.

 

[Fularu]

Any person taking part to the BC One qualifications (not even the final main event) dances better than he does.

He can't perform powermoves, that's why he was left out of the "Battle of the Year" finale.

 

[clearacell]

Yeah, just male dancing.

MJ was a poor mans Fred Astaire

 

[The Light]

This dude Duane invented swag right here with this.

Did you guys see that shit Bruno Mars pulled off in the super bowl halftime show!?

My wife co-signs with Bruno Mars, she saw him here in Orlando and he's definitely on point.

 

[KaiserBecks]

OP, is that you?

Yeah, he is pretty good at imitating Michael Jackson.

Bruno is completely solid, a top performer carving out his legend for sure, but what he does is from an older school of performance so I can't comfortably toss him in this discussion.
