Can you guys think of any artists that have cited MJ as their influence/inspiration, outside of the obvious ones like Neyo, Usher, Chris Brown, the two Justin's etc.
 
As someone who is a huge fan of Bollywood. I know there are quite a few actors that are hugely influence by Michael. But the one that really comes to mind is Hrithik Roshan. I remember reading somewhere that he is known as India's Michael Jackson. His dancing just like Michael's is just so beyond incredible. His 2014 movie Bang Bang he did a tribute to Michael. And in the one scene he had to dance just like him. And then there is Shahrukh Khan who has been my Michael watching replacement. Since I still find it impossible to watch any of my MJ related videos. Some of his dances reminds me of Michael's dancing. I do remember hearing that he is a MJ fan. Which explains why. His 2011 movie Ra One he did this really funny imitation of Michael's Bad video.

No disrespect intended, but don't we already have a lot of threads about artists that have cited Michael as an influence? I did a quick search and found FOUR in just the last nine months-
it would be easier to make a thread about the people NOT influenced by him. You might come up with one or two names.

Was Michael Jackson a big influence on you growing up?
“Yes, of course. He's the only music that we had in Sri Lanka in terms of Western music.”
