“Billie Jean” by Michael Jackson is a definitive track of what is possibly the best decade in music: the 80s. It was the second single from the best-selling album “Thriller.” It didn’t take long before the song earned the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 – and stayed there for seven weeks. Not only that, it sold over 10 million copies worldwide.
As one of the best-selling singles of all time, the chart topping track has unsurprisingly become a permanent fixture in different playlists across all genres. Young, old, it really doesn’t matter how old you are – “Billie Jean” is really just the type of song you can’t help but dance to.
That’s why it also comes as no surprise that kids who boast amazing skills in dancing and singing choose this as the best song to perform, just like DeCory. He showed a love for music at the tender age of four years old when he started singing in church.
And like all good things, it just kept getting better with time.
As proof of what this young talent can do, here’s a school talent show number that set the bar incredibly high. DeCory gave quite the performance, complete with the recognizable and iconic Michael Jackson getup.
DeCory’s getup alone elicited deafening cheers and applause from the audience that the song playing over the speakers was barely audible. You can catch him smiling at the audience’s response but he maintained his composure and continued to sing and dance.
DeCory may have been mirroring the King of Pop’s trademark moves but his performance was one that highlighted his own incredible talent.
He moved with confidence and transitioned smoothly from one step to another without missing a beat.
As if his moves weren’t impressive enough, he proceeded to sing along with the track and prove that he too could sing “Billie Jean” while dancing. It’s clearly difficult to sound good while moving across the stage. Not many artists can sound good while moving about. Neither can aspiring performers.
DeCory is definitely a natural with his singing voice and dancing skills.
This impressive and highly entertaining performance shows immense effort on DeCory’s part: to perfect a difficult choreography which countless artists have attempted to recreate, and combine the mastery of dance steps with the challenging task of singing in tune.
The audience was cheering for the duration of his performance.
It’s not everyday you see something as spectacular as DeCory’s performance in a school talent show. He really took time to put together a striking costume, memorize and practice the steps, and sing on top of it all.
It took an artist as legendary as Michael Jackson and a song as iconic as “Billie Jean” to spark DeCory’s desire and determination to become an entertainer.
If you loved this number, you’ll definitely appreciate DeCory’s other videos, too. Presently, the charming superstar has over 40K subscribers on YouTube, a number of radio and television guestings, and cover songs all shared to his channel.
Check out his other videos and prepare to be impressed.
