In 2006, Judson Laipply created a video called “The Evolution of Dance,” in which he performed popular dance moves in a six minute segment that went super viral on the web. To this day, Judson’s video is the most watched video on the entire internet!
Perhaps hoping to capture some of that internet fame, Ricardo made this video himself and his three talented backup dancers performing a medley of Michael Jackson’s greatest hits. All of your favorites are here, and it’s impossible not to boogy in your seat a little once they get rolling.

In the video, Ricardo and his crew model the same kind of clothing Michael wore when each hit song hit the charts, including that famous white sparkly glove, those white socks worn with short black pants, and a fedora. They start with the singer’s early hits, including “Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough,” “Beat It,” “Wanna Be Starting Something,” and everybody’s favorite, “Thriller.”

They then moved on to later hits like “Billie Jean,” “The Way You Make Me Feel,” “Bad,” “Smooth Criminal,” and others.
