FRED ASTAIRE in SMOOTH CRIMINAL Starring Fred Astaire, Cyd Charisse, Leslie Caron Choreographed by Michael Kidd ‘Smooth Criminal’ by Michael Jackson Video edited by CFJ I love both Astaire and Michael Jackson. I want young people to know Astaire stuff, that is why I made this. The video features scenes from the Girl Hunt ballet in The Band Wagon (1953) starring Astaire and Cyd Charisse (those supreme legs!! The most perfect body a woman could have. So sensual, so elegant), to which MJ gave …

Ive played this so many times. Anyone else got a Michael Jackson Tshirt yet? I got a free one from ‘MJfanFreebies’ It’s lush!!
) He’s incredible in the entire video!
November 8th, 2009 at 10:25 am
that is a shame!
November 8th, 2009 at 10:25 am
I love this video so much, I got $250 of FREE MJ music from ‘MJfanFreebies’, i have everything he’s ever done!! He really is the king of pop.
November 8th, 2009 at 10:25 am
Oh, God! That boy moves in a very exceptional way. Thats the greatest dancer Ever!
and
I didnt want to leave this world without knowing who my descendant was. Thank you Michael Jackson! -Fred Astaire

November 8th, 2009 at 10:25 am
no i think thats cyd charisse. she’s in a lot of good films too though, like singing in the rain, she’s the one who dances with gene kelley in the gotta dance scene.
November 8th, 2009 at 10:25 am
Is that woman hes dancing with Genger Rogers.
November 8th, 2009 at 10:25 am
ITS GRAND
November 8th, 2009 at 10:25 am
Michael got his smooth criminal idea from this movie.. love it..
November 8th, 2009 at 10:25 am
I see now where MJ got inspiration for videos such as ‘Smooth Criminal’, ‘Rock My World’ and ‘Bad’ as well as the song ‘Dangerous’! Seeing as good ol’ Fred muttered “The girl was bad. The girl was dangerous.” line long before MJ put pen to paper!
Wonderful video as well. I love how you incoporated ‘Daddy Long Legs’ into the ‘Girl Hunt’ segment from ‘The Band Wagon’. Amazing dancing from Cyd, Leslie and Astaire in both films. I love them.
November 8th, 2009 at 10:25 am
well the point is that michael gets a lot of his moves and inspirations from men like fred astaire as well as gene kelly- the fidora as well

Michael eu te amo.eternamente….você foi a graça que se pos onde havia vidas destroçadas….. (Elton Jonh)

Great video. Congrats!

November 8th, 2009 at 10:25 am
There is a site giving away complete DVD and CD collections of Michael Jacksons work.. check it out before theyre gone.. sightopen . com
November 8th, 2009 at 10:25 am
Great one.
The Astaire’s condition in this video is as just as the Jackson’s one in This Is It by the way.
November 8th, 2009 at 10:25 am
Great video! Michael loved Fred Astaire and they were actually neighbors a long time ago. He was heartbroken when Fred died.
November 8th, 2009 at 10:25 am
this is soo dope! thank you 4 posting this!
November 8th, 2009 at 10:25 am
Search “Michael Jackson Tap Dancing” if you wanna see MJ at his best.
November 8th, 2009 at 10:25 am
Are you serious no disrespect but this guy is sooooo slow, MJ was ten times faster and better footwork even fred astaire said MJ exceeded him in dancing.
November 8th, 2009 at 10:25 am
dream on…..
November 8th, 2009 at 10:25 am
dream on…
November 8th, 2009 at 10:25 am
Cool video but Michael is the best dancer and fred astaire didn’t create any moonwalk or sidewalk. Jackson is faster , stronger and more creative than Fred astaire.
