In the biography "Fosse" here's what Bob Fosse had to say about Michael Jackson: He said Michael was one of the greatest dancers he had ever seen..."maybe since Astaire, because he's so fast...and because when he extends his arm or his leg or whatever it goes completely out and then right back. Not half out, not one quarter, not nine tenths. It goes completely out and then right back---fast. But it's complete. Every action is complete". And when the two of them met in person, Michael complimented Fosse by saying: " you've changed the face of dance. You've been an inspiration to me".. One famous quote by Michael is: "study the greats and become greater". And that is exactly what Michael has done. Michael has probably watched and studied every well-known dancer there ever was and absorbed and created and became one of the world's greatest dance innovators! Michael is without any doubt one of the most beautiful dancers there ever was and probably ever will be. When Michael is inspired to use someone's moves, he takes it, changes it, and adds to it and totally owns it to such an extent that it can no longer be said to be the same dance move. you cant help but to love watching Michael dance! WOW!
