Justin Bieber “SKATER STYLE”
I’m gonna cry

[derekwhite]

the 1980s Michael Jackson: the Black actor

The 2000s Michael Jackson: the white actor

[okdonnyalright]

The white dude dressed up as JB looks more like vanilla ice to me.

[justinissocool]

If Kurt cobain ever saw that he was on a “pop star” list, he’d blow his brains out all over again

[kathleenblain]

The 70's part: *White facepaint*
Me: No Freddy Mercury? Oh that must be a KISS member!
*Lighting bolt*
Me: Oh, David Bowie.

[marteenyo]

Really thought they were going to go with Justin Timberlake or Usher for the 2000s

[grapepotatos]

Why was “orange was Sinatra’s favorite color” his description. I mean yeah, but like that’s all? 😂😂

[appypandey]

Hats off to the two young men accurately performing the body languages 🤩🤩

[oldschoolrhapsody]

I thought 70's would be freddie mercury

[nabilanibras]

awkward moment when i thought that jb was eminem 😂😂

[CJ-mniw]

When you realize just how ridiculous that thriller outfit looks on anyone that's not MJ.

[elvizpapst]

Calling cobain a popstar is the reason he killed him self.

[overdoxzz]

That moment when that one model who looks like Brendon Urie and then they dressed him as Frank Sinatra

[kristamj]

I'm so happy they kept black dude for Michael Jackson. Thank you Vanity. ❤️

[seanlewis]

The Beatles??? Even just Lennon or McCartney

[heladofrugele]

I really was thinking Elton john would be the 70’s one but David was also a huge thing and a legend <3

[GrimReaper-jlgz]

When they started drawing David Bowie and he had a white face he looked so much like Freddie Mercury

[behappy]

I'm disappointed that the Beatle's iconic look/haircut and Freddie Mercury's live aid attire was not included....😭

[igmoreno]

The Justin Bieber one looks more like Brendon Urie lol

[jessica-lstc]
