It doesn't like that. Just like the musicians don't get famous for performing the music in the track. Extras don't get fame performing in a movie. It's just the way it is.
I get a kick out of these comments of people criticizing Neil's performance, claiming it doesn't quite match up to Michael Jackson's level. Really? Are you kidding me people? Michael Jackson, easily one of history's most insanely talented and uniquely gifted performers, along with one of his most memorable performances.......and you're wondering why Neil Patrick Harris isn't matching MJ's intensity in this lip sync show? I think NPH is an extremely talented performer. But he's not MJ! And there are few people on this planet who could hope to match what Michael Jackson was able to do. Perhaps some of you people's expectation's are a little unreasonable.

My goodness, this video is the epitome of why I have adored Neil Patrick Harris for over half my life. As a young girl it was because of Doogie Howser. As an adult, I have highly respected everything that he does. He is such an amazing person through and through, and I absolutely love seeing him do what he does. This is my favorite lip sync battle now!

+Ashley The set, background dancers, costumes and choreo in general were intense and simply amazing! I hardly ever clicked on a video so fast since I knew NPH (as a musical performer) from Glee and absolutely loved his performance on the show. But in this Lipsync Battle he did not mediate any energy or fun... basically he did not mediate anything to me apart from stiff dance moves. Sort of frustrating to watch because I know that he can do way better than that!

He wasn't half bad, although the one person I would love to see do a Michael Jackson Lip Sync Battle is Justin Timberlake. I remember he performed in a concert with Michael at one point and his moves were pretty solid compared to Michael's.
