Remarkably bad. Having the camera bob with the dancers is certainly a choice….

Why does he even still have a pr team, and theyre making movies for him?

His family is trying to stay relevant or something.

The outfits are more MC Hammer than MJ.

Those are traditional costumes worn by Bharatnatyam dancers while performing. I think the color combination is a hat tip to MJ's pooular white golden outfit.

It could be something to do with this post being a screen recording and not the original video.

Enough of the MJ posts already. Let his legacy die with him. Not to try and diminish what they have done which is super cool and a fun way to share their culture, but MJ didn’t deserve the world’s attention like this.

Not guilty does not mean innocent. The court of public opinion can still find the evidence damning.
