    all of you guys are crazy these are the people who look up to Michael not exactly try to be him..

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Fly098/ Fly098

    Well there you have it. I disagree with Rob 007. All of these people have taken bits and pieces of Mike or Jackson five stuff. Who hasn’t bitten off a chunk of Mike? All the teenie boppers like Ne-yo (that was dead on..with his lip gloss wearing, gay self) to Chris (the Hit Man, or Hit Woman)Brown have bitten off Mike. They owe him money as far as I’m concerned. LOL! New Edition was started with the idea that they’d be another Jackson 5 and New Kids on the Block (both groups started by the same guy) were to be a “White” New Edition. So there you have it! Case closed. Somebody please polish Mike’s crown because all these biters have been leaving finger prints on it from trying to take it.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/th3livinmatrix/ th3livinmatrix

    I’mma just say it like this, there’s a difference between idolizing, and imitation, MJ idolized James Brown, he didn’t imitate him, Chris Brown, Usher, JT, and Neyo, ALL IMITATE MJ, THEY WANNA BE HIM, but right now at this point in time, NEYO is the BIGGEST imitation of MJ from the clothes, to the videos, to the dancing, it’s all like MIKE, and Ciara, wants to be Aaliyah!!! what happened to wantin to be urself, but still bein influenced? I mean forreal it’s gotta stop at some point

    The Cory Felman one was funny!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/GoinabilityINC/ GoinabilityINC

    The Justin Timberlake pic was funny but the caption is far from truth. Mike(RIP) started out with a big nose and an afro and pigment. I think that caption should be the other way around.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/LADYSOUL00/ LADYSOUL00

    lol @ sexycuervo…did u c that grip he had…lol..DAAAMMMM IS RITE…imitation is the best form of flattery…so they say..and justin tried to look like mike…he was born like that…mike spent thousands of dollars to look like that…big differance…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Hokage-Sama69/ Hokage-Sama69

    lmao@ the justin/michael face…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Wallac2T/ Wallac2T

    clearly these BP writers dont have s**t else to write about, and cant think of s**t but the negative, because what person in the US at some point hasnt imitated the late great Michael Jackson. I mean My uncles used to call me the dancing machine as a lil boy, after a michael and Jackson 5 song, because i wore socks on my hands dancing all the time to Michael. so who cares. its called role model. If you play sports you have them, if youre in politics you have them, fashion, music, science art. It will always exist people look for those they can exemplify and learn from. Big Deal. Lets cut this s**t out.
    RIP Michael

    find something else to f**king write about damn….

    Michael is the best plain and simple. MTV would be as big as it is with Mike…. black people are simply the best no matter how hard people try to mock us all they down

    Im so glad he can finally rest. He set the trend for real music….Michael is the real KING of dance and music….some say elvis but we know the truth as do the rest of the world.There will ALWAYS BE HATERS cus they lack the talent. As far as Justin timberlake,,,,uh no …not even close. Love u MIKE!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Im_rare_baby/ Im_rare_baby

    it would have been nice to see chris brown @ the awards and do thriller or some s**t…
    Damn Usher!!!! i ain’t kno u was holdin like dat baby…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com//

    Im over the wannabe’s and haters…. where is the originality… lets get real they will never compare a song here or there but the lack their own creations. Michael forever. Chris Brown was getting his influence from Michael ans was doing good but, he allowed stoopid choices to get in the way.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com//

    Over justin… tired of usher… where is chris…ugh why people keep giving justin credit he only has one good cd. Michael was his own person. Michael forever lives through his music….The greatest!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/lavallemcarson/ lavallemcarson

    ima just say, most of ya’ll wasnt even listening to his music until last week…just my thoughts…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/pinkie75/ pinkie75

    Usher didn’t need to grab his stuff like that. ROTFLMAO

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/blaqmoneymaker/ blaqmoneymaker

    This article is wack! I’m a huge fan of Michael Jackson. But I’ll be logical about this. MJ did so many different moves in his career that any move a performer does will in some way emulate the moves of Michael. Seriously! As soon someone do a spin around, thats Michael. Do a split, that’s James Brown. You get my point? By the way, Michael did not invent the moonwalk. He learn his moves from pioneers before him such as Bill Bailey 1955 and Jeffrey Daniel, and He perfected it the moonwalk and brung it to the limelight. So you see, everyone need to stop saying these modern day performers stole it all from Michael. To see some people who moonwalk before MJ go to YouTube and type into the searchbar “inspiration of Michael Jackson’s moonwalk” or “Jeffrey Daniel’s influence on Michael Jackson”. You will see what I’m talkin about.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/blaqmoneymaker/ blaqmoneymaker

    Another thang real quick. How many different moves can a human being do?? Seriously?? You will never see someone get on the stage and do a move you never seen before. And if you never seen it before best believe they pick up the move from someone in the past.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/xxpecantanxx/ xxpecantanxx

    I Don’t Understand Why B.E.T Didn’t Get Chris Brown To Honor MJ. That Would Have Been The Best Thing That They Could Have Done

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/sensational5697/ sensational5697

    Umph,umph,umph…ladies look at usher’s crotch! I wonder does he have on a jockey strap..pretty big isn’t it? LMAO

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/black_uniqe_diamond/ black_uniqe_diamond

    BET should have let Chris Brown do what he do best…and not keep him from coming I think that was so wrong..We say we back or own who had his back that night..I love you Chris and cant no one do mike like you…yea I said IT..

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Beauty_NsideNout/ Beauty_NsideNout

    they needed BEYONCE UP THERE BECAUSE SHE COPIES THE JACKSONS

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MR_FRiDAYz/ MR_FRiDAYz

    have some respect for yourselves and Michael how many of you haven’t commented the same s**t other have commented??? you’re all a bunch of posers as well if it comes to criticizing

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/mike_diesel27/ mike_diesel27

    I don’t why most of you even bother posting comments. When truly, you need to go back to the 1st grade and learn how to spell. Anyway, BP is one of the worst, most unprofessional article writers I’ve ever seen. The captions in these pics are really sad. Especially the one about Justin Timberlake. Just remember, someone has to do it first. And MJ wasn’t the first to dance the way he did. He got his inspiration from artist like Jackie Wilson and James Brown. Why can’t these artist get their inspiration from MJ???

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Kountry_Mayne/ Kountry_Mayne

    ok we get it…. every one tries to look like micheal jackson every one copies micheal jackson its a micheal jackson world… the captions on the pictures and the pictures all together are kinda dumb

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Melech/ Melech

    MICHEAL JACKSON WAS TRUELY THE KING OF POP WE SHOULD GIVE HONOR TO ALL HIS MANY MARKS IN THE BUSINESS TO ALL TRENDS THAT HE SET AND MOSTLY WHEN HE WAS WITH HIS BROTHERS WHEN THEY WERE THE JACKSON FIVE FOR MANY YEARS IT BOTHERED ME TO HOW MICHEAL OVER SHADOWED HIS BROTHERS THE INDUSTRY DOESNT BELIEVE IN FAMILY SURE MIKE WAS TALENTED BUT SO WAS HIS OTHER FOUR BROTHERS ME BEING A TRUE MUSICIAN WHO CAN SKILLFULLY PLAY MUSICIAL INSTRUMENTS HAD A PROBLEM OF WATCHING MIKE GET ALL THE CREDIT AND HIS BROTHERS WERE LEFT IN THE SHADOWS ESPECIALLY MEETING ALL OF THEM WHEN I WAS A LITTLE 3 YEAR OLD BOY BACK IN DOWN TOWN HOUSTON TEXAS WITH MY MOTHER AT MOVIES WE SHOULD RESPECT AND HONOR MIKE AND HIS BROTHERS HIS THE CATCH ITS ONE THING TO HONOR SOME ONE BUT ITS ANOTHER THING TO KEEP YOUR OWN IDENITITY IN THE MUSIC ! PEACE AND LOVE OUT TO THE WHOLE JACKSON FAMILY ONE !

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Jess-Lynn/ Jess-Lynn

    we miss you mj!..some of these comparisons are like wtf tho..like really “justin wears a bow tie”..pple have been wearing bowties for a min..relax UD

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/pookiebadaz/ pookiebadaz

    look at usher in pic #2…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Brandon_Cerrone/ Brandon_Cerrone

    Who the f**k wrote this article??? Obviously MJ was one of the greatest to do it. Just because things may be similar doesn’t mean that they are following every move the man created. Everybody takes something from somebody and puts their own twist on it. The appearance artist are portraying now is due to the fact that history repeats itself. Clothes, and even music. It was even said that MJ didn’t create the ‘Moonwalk’ he saw someone else do it… Everybody that’s great now always had an influence to look up to. Look at the NBA for an example.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/mwee/ mwee

    The writer was not sayin that in a bad way. they were just sayin that michael jackson influenced a lot of people and helped to mold a lot of different artists. RIP MICHAEL JACKSON.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Luv2prettyblack/ Luv2prettyblack

    Damn Usher (pic #2) U look like u workin with a monster……LOL!!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Smyles02/ Smyles02

    Ok, it was taken a little too far with the split image of Mike and Justin. I haven’t seen signs of Justin slowly turning black…lol. Well he wouldn’t have much turning to do anyway, considering Mike looked like him until his last days. Anyway. In some of the captions, it stated the words like “try”. Although greatly influenced by Michael, these entertainers are doing it! Chris Brown, Ne-Yo, Brittney, they are on point. They are not trying anything. They are it.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/weewah5/ weewah5

    i do not see anything wrong with them doing impresseions of Michael. i believe that Michael Jackson is/was a great man, he changed people and for people to put him down and stuff is terrible. if you dont like MJ stay away from his music and achievements, dont acknowledge the bad stuff. like Tyler Perry said we are only human….people accept it!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/stevenintec3/ stevenintec3

    get a job.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Dat_Muzishun/ Dat_Muzishun

    Just because there are 5 people in a group they following the Jacksons? If I go out and rock a bow tie I’m biting Mike? Who wrote this article? If this was a school project, I’d fail you lol

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/No0neElse/ No0neElse

    Lame. Half of the points are legit, but just because MJ wore a bowtie and danced around– does that mean everyone else has to wear a long tie and stand still? The Briney Spears thing was really a stretch. Even though he was a freak, I don’t think I ever saw MJ wearing a bra.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Banity/ Banity

    The only person who could do MJ was Alfonso Ribeiro who before fresh prince of belair was the kid who danced with MJ on the Pepsi comercial as little MJ…so all these cris browns, ushers, ne yo etc with temberlake & all the hip hops & pop who make a bad mock should cut it out.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/FluEnt_Fresh/ FluEnt_Fresh

    This whole ad is an embarrassment. First your cry because the legend is dead, then you contradict it by picking at the very reason he’s a legend. Legend, meaning he left a LEGACY. If people weren’t imitating Michael Jackson from the big stage to the kitchen, he wouldn’t be half as popular as we’ve made him out to be. I’m still trying to moon walk. Call me a swagger jacker. lol

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/hipswang/ hipswang

    Thank god he came along 2 raise the bar as high as he did. CB, Usher and Ciara are cold ass dancers. Timberlake ain’t that bad – wtf listed these other ppl tho? Were they evenn supposed 2 b great at both singing and dancing? I’m sure they weren’t. LOL@ New edition who none of em could sing but Johnny Gil, who couldn’t dance. All the others ones must b a joke. I’m most offended by Britney, nsync and new kids on the block – wtf? how they gone bite w/no teeth or by being an ESPN cheerleader dancer – but brittney did match his i.d. crisis I guess.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Butterfly_Bowles/ Butterfly_Bowles

    not for nothing but ladys..pic number 2 with Usher grabbing his chunks…oh my i got turned on a bit..but back to the topic yes these are the nest at their nest imitating the bast entertainer..

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/TIGHT_69/ TIGHT_69

    OMG LOOK AT FLICK #2 USHER IS REALLY PACKING SOMETHING SERIOUS. ITZ ALL GOOD USHER I WOULD DO U AND DO THAT THANG U R HOLDING. LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/SexyNavyChick/ SexyNavyChick

    wow hipswang sweet heart you got some bad taste in music no new edition was not very cute except for jonny and ralph and maybe mike on certain pics, but um yeah they could sing and johnny gill can dance a little bit hes not bad, I do agree im not sure whats up with the other people they put on that list, maybe they were bored whoever wrote this.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/samsthewon/ samsthewon

    No doubt we all know Michael,was a “Helluva”entertainer!It’s alright to like someone and kinda idolize them.But when you start dressing,acting,walking and talking like em’.Maybe even going so far as to having plastic surgery,to look more like them.It’s time to take a step back…and take a serious look at yourself!!! Remember no false “GOD’S”
