High School ‘Thriller’! Teen Totally Nails Michael Jackson’s Moves At Talent Show

Michael Jackson has been gone since 2009, but his legacy lives on as a hologram at the Billboard Music Awards, in a posthumous hit album … and in a spot-on rendition by a young man during a talent show

Brett Nichols stole the show at Pitman High School’s talent show in Turlock, Calif. To the tune of “Billie Jean,” Jackson’s 1983 No. 1 hit, Nichols mimics the smooth dance shuffle and leg bends the King of Pop made famous. He even moonwalks — a step that generates cries of delight from the audience.

His segment starts around 1:11 in the video — don’t miss it!
