__Description__
 Please forgive me for the quality of the video, after 2 month trying to make & convert my performance to the PC, I was only able to make it in Black & White, like the old days, as soon as you watch it, you'll remember Charlie Chaplin... LOL... But it does look professional. I would appreciate feedback from fans as well as other MJ Impersonators, as for me I see myself superb, especially that all the choreography was done between 2days only, with no previous practice or training. So I believe I did a good Job, along with my friend, since we managed somehow to make the steps at the same time, but we encountered some problems due to the  DJ, he did many mistakes like stopping the music in between, and you can see my friend at the beginning looking sideways, it did affect our temper, and we became distracted at some points, which you can sense. The other problem that I have is that I only have so much of my performance, this footage is only for the start of smooth criminal, I don't have the other part as well as the Billie jean part, but it's always good to say, anything is better than nothing.

 

Second Performance At My Birthday 2002


 

This Performance was on the 28th of April, there was 2 occasions, one was my birthday & the other was an annual party for the company I work at. This time I performed much better than the first performance cause I was alone performing, and basically I have the moves perfect after so many years. Although still I wasn't happy with the DJ, he always played the music before being ready I lost count on the sequence of moves that I planned to do, I was sort of lost at the beginning but somehow I managed to get along later.

 

I performed first on Billie Jean and later on Dangerous, Billie Jean was superb, especially the spins, it was like very rare for the spin to work out with me, I enjoyed much, especially after the moonwalk, I was able to do the 3 spins correctly then stand on my toes.

Dangerous on the other hand was a surprise for myself, cause basically I only got the suit 2 days before the event and  it was this year only that I watched the full version of the MTV Awards back in 1995, and I never ever practiced on the moves of dangerous or even the sequence, it's only that I know it by heart cause I used to watch it over & over again. In general I was somehow satisfied in the end. Enjoy the Pics.

I finally was able to transform my performance to the PC & it's already  uploaded, press the link below to start the download.

Third Performance at Annual Party


This Performance was again an annual party for the company that I work for, Unluckily I had the same venue like last time, but things went worse as the dance floor was different & smaller, I couldn't move at all, neither I could moonwalk or spin properly. But the crowd went crazy for the performance......no comments it's MJ in the end!!!! Lol......

 

Again I got irritated from the DJ, as I instructed him to play the music after I place the hat on my head, but he played the music straight forward, which made me lose track of the moves I planned to do.  I just went with the flow, I have no idea what moves I did, as I was just trying to react with the music.

 

I only Performed on Billie Jean, and I only have these 6  Pics, I don't know if someone have the video of the performance, I guess i'll have to wait.

 

In total, it wasn't my best performance, but was satisfied that the crowd liked it. :-)

Sister's Engagement Party Unplanned Dance 2007


I was not ready for a performance especially after 4 years from my last practice or dance; however with everything i got excited and i hit my best moves on the dance floor randomly, i just did what came to my mind, i was not in the proper outfit nor with the proper shoe however everyone gave a positive feedback and where wowed............

 

 

 

My Sister's Wedding  2008


This performance is far most the best i ever did because i got the moves right and it looked very much MJ and you can see that from the pictures, i only performed on Billie Jean; i did not practice on any routine, i just did what came to my mind, i think i was very much satisfied with it, although the floor was as usual a problem and my shoes are becoming small so i was not comfy going for a spin this time, however keeping this problem a minority, all other moves were better then any of my previous performances, i am currently waiting and hoping for a video footage which is always lacking from my performances.......
