Pitman High junior Brett Nichols became an internet sensation overnight when his talent show performance of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" went viral.
We caught up with Nichols moments before he was whisked away for a national interview with CNN. Full performance included.

Brett is such a polite and intelligent young man. With the Beatles hair cut and moves like Michael Jackson :) His mom should be proud. Bravo Brett!!! Brilliant Performance!!!

Awww no, I meant he's LIKE a combination of MJ and The Beatles cause he's got The Beatles haircut.
This guy is truly humble nicely done
Kid did Michael Jackson justice. Good for him, shows how awesome Mike was that he still inspires people today
So amazing! If Michael were physically here, he would get such a kick out of this. I can see him saying, wow! Amazing performance and you have a Lot of talent!!!

You have to have talent to dance like that, he obviously had been practicing Mike's moves since he was a small toddler, I think he said that. But not anyone can dance like that, a lot of Black people who have the natural rythym can't dance like that. Lol So, my hat is off to this kid because he was certainly born with rythym, he and Justin Timberlake. JT is another who can bounce to the beat!

But if Michael were still here he would befriend him and he would want this kid to sleep in his bedroom
He seem like a humble guy.. He did MJ good with that performance.. I know he would be proud
In my opinion Brett Nichols should be on Ellen, not Alex from target. This is actual talent.

He’s incredible I couldn’t stop watching his performance it’s scary accurate but that put aside he’s very very humbled and bright and hopefully has gotten the credit he’s deserves from this amazing talent

He really does have that same magnetic attraction that a few performers have--Jackson and Presley come to mind. I think that's something innate that can't be learned, that performance-magnetics, but to even launch that you need the ACTUAL DANCE, and that's probably hundreds of hours of practice. HOURS. You're looking at hard work. I liked "Smooth Criminal" a whole lot and found Jackson utterly beautiful but I'm admittedly not even a huge fan of this TYPE of music--yet I can't stop watching Nichols and rooting for him : D "It's like a painting, but you can listen to it." I knew I loved this kiddo for a reason and I wish him truckloads of success and joy.
He's so polite, grateful and talented we need more people like him :)
His moonwalk was so smooth.

This kid is incredible!! How refreshing to see an intelligent, hardworking, humble, and well rounded young man. He has a true talent and you can see the dedication and time he put into this. Good for him. I wish him much success and only the best! God bless!
I love bretts moon walk. it is beautiful!
You did an incredible tribute for the King of Pop! Thank you so much
He’s so intelligent and well spoken. He deserves all the recognition he got ❤️
That's a lot of choreography, and a lot of technical dance moves. It was obviously hard work to get to that level of perfection. He earned the recognition he's getting, he knows it's not a freeby, and is humbled by it. Given his willingness to work hard at difficult things, he's got great things ahead. Congrats Brett !
Excellent performance really nailed that moonwalk.
He was so good
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Well done!
What a great guy.
Chills to see this performance. He did a really good job.
So humble. What an amazing guy.
I love this guy!!! Awesome moves that look very much like the king. Long live the king!
I just love this performance!!!! I watch it over and over!! Glad to see the interview! Very cool!!!
That was so awesome. I have watched it several times. Very good!
Fantastic!!! Bravo!!!!
White or not, he killed it! Stop hating =)

I remember when my friend was telling me his water polo buddy was gonna perform mj at the talent show. Then to see it go so viral bro it’s crazy
as usual the original title has been changed.. it used to be school "nerd" wins talent show. It had more meaning that way because now that he's somebody everyone wants him. Where are the people that loved him the way he was.. Happy for you Brett
Damn, a pat on the back from the Jackson Estate? Now THAT'S a compliment!
Well spoken young man. He is so modest and talented. Thank you Brett for giving "this" to us. Much appreciated.
Holy shit he's straight too! I didn't see that coming.

This young man is my twin. Today I'm 54. I looked identical to him in 1985. I was not into micheal jackson back then. The CRUE was our band of choice. Great work. You deserve all that comes your way son.
I am sure Mr. Jackson would be very proud of Brett God bless him and his family and friends.🙏🥰
The kids so level headed. I'm surprised. I got something like this, I'd freak out. 15 million views at this time on the main video.... He was good, though.
His performance stomps billboard easily!
Great interview and performance...seems like a very intelligent young man!
AWESOME, kudos, young man...
People aren't born able to dance like this. It takes dedication and hard work. You deserve it kid!

In 1983 I saw MJ moonwalk. I spent hours trying to do it. You hit it on the head. Like I said before. See you in Vegas!
Seems like a really smart and level-headed kid, with a genuine appreciation for the art of performance.

Brett did an AWESOME job! Honestly, I have seen a couple professional tribute artists do Billie Jean, and HIS was the BEST! Which is incredible! Great job!!
Legendary. God bless you, kid.

Greetings from Lithuania. It is amazing how KZread seems to bury such videos. I wasn't searching for MJ but one of Brett's 2017 videos came up and then I went after all of them. About 6 years ago a preformer did a MJ dance at a sea side night club and the seated crowd and boardwalk crowd exploded with applause. He couldn't "hold a cnadle " to Brett. Fantastic
I love your vids and content
THIS KID GAVE MICHAEL JACKSON HIS 50TH BILLBOARD HIT SINGLE ALL BY HIMSELF!!!!!!!
I'm so humbled by his and his mothers response to the questions they were given :)
I love this kid !!!!!!
Awesome!
Brett really is so cool and so talented and he does deserve this. He seems to be a real humble guy. Great Job Brett if you're ever gonna read this!! I was inspired by your talent show performance and I really enjoyed it!
This is truly awesome , so proud we live in the same community , please tell Ellen high for me . 😀
Humble guy
PERFECT
He seems so nice!!
That dude was awesome 😃😃
I'm a huge fan of this video and continue to do what you do then keep on Rising to the top don't give up and never give up on what you do because you have a blessing of a talent when you put that Talent out there to the world and show them that you are a fan of Michael Jackson keep on doing it don't give up
Awesome kid
I will see you in Vegas. You are amazing.
Dude, you rock😊
Felt a little bit nostalgic
He did a great job! Long live the King!
