What is the most spin rotations achieved by MJ, and does anyone have video evidence.

I resent that https://youtu.be/UWi6JhC0QLwI have no clue about that but I can tell you it's his most impressive skill. It's also his one move that I've never seen an impersonator copy in the correct way. In fact I never seen anyone doing better spins than MJ. My favorite ones comes from the J5 days, he did it so often then, often multiple times during just one song, they looked so smooth and effortless, everything in total control.
the first one that comes to mind for me is from the james brown concert in '83 it made up the majority of the dance :O the whole thing was so fast that I didn't even notice that he took off, and put back on his glasses before and after.
another notable one is from Motown 25 during 'the love you save'. it was like his feet merged into one spinning top. he immediately continued singing without sounding out of breath. of course, the one during 'billie jean' after the first moonwalk. this is the first time that I could see that his arms were folded as he did it.
I was recently surprised by the one during the performance of 'don't stop til you get enough' at a nightclub. normally I can see them coming. this one looked completely spontaneous.
I think he really refined it in the mid to late '70s. what's more impressive is that he did it with a long cord microphone, and didn't get tangled up. mike douglas wanted to know if Michael had wheels under his shoes, ha. that's how effective he was in creating illusions through dance
it's definitely my favourite move
even a claymation version of him comes up which might have been scrapped at some point.
I think the one at the james brown concert is a strong contender. definitely the fastest at least. didn't even need to 'rev up'. just jumped right into it..

He actually did his most spin rotations during the ‘Man In The Mirror’ performance in the 1988 Grammy Awards (7 times spin or so).
But in the history of dance generally, there have been dancers who have even surpassed the 10 times spin rotations.
Like, Mikhail Baryshnikov’s 11 times spin rotations from the American ‘White Nights’ film (1985):

(Cough Cough....eh mm) I can spin just like my idol. I keep telling yall to subscribe to my channel but trolls like to dislike everyone of my videos the moment I post it in this forum. Anyway...
Here is my man in the mirror live spin
My youtube channel ??Looking good, looking good! But what channel are you talking about?
Yeah I actually have a show coming on the 16th. Im 29 & ive been doing this since birth so its all natural. My muscles are trained to his music. I've studied him & how things work with the dance. Believe me. That 5spin is very hard to do. Its more of a energy thing. When you feel the audience, magic happens.I've watched a couple of videos you are very good. Do you get booked for shows or how does it work? You put a lot of effort in the moves, must have taken hours and hours to be at this level.

yeah I do my own mixes & Ohhh man if you stay tuned...i just did a 15min new mix yesterday for the newest show i have coming & i spent 16hrs straight in the studio. This 1 will be so lit! I cant wait to share with you all! We've completely turned this thread. Pm me lolDo you also make your own mixes? I like that you don't just copy paste stuff. I was watching a 15 min show and I really had no clue what song would be next.
It's amazing how many impersonators there are. I remember when he died there was a show on tv to find "the next MJ" you could have been part of the bunch and they were all really good
