Lil Nas X performs “Montero (Call Me By Your Name),” pays homage to Michael Jackson

Lil Nas X might have just delivered the best performance of the night at the BET Awards 2021.

On Sunday [27/06/2021], Lil Nas X performed at the Los Angeles Microsoft Theatre his new single “Montero (Call Me By Your Name),” a song he released a few months ago.

For the performance, Lil Nas X incorporated ancient Egypt-inspired costumes, inspired by Michael Jackson’s legendary “Remember The Time” short film. He, along with a group of background dancers, also performed parts of the same dance routine Michael did in the epic video, playing parts of the song at one point of the show.

The beginning of the performance is just like the way “Remember The Time” started when Michael entered in a black robe and Lil Nas X ended the performance with a steamy kiss he shared with one of his dancers just like Michael did with Iman in the video.

Check it out:

Check out the original from Michael Jackson:

Lil Naz x made a great modern version of the 1992’s amazing short film and kept us hypnotised just like Michael did nearly 30 years ago!

  1. Wow, this is absolutely amazing…. I literally screamed when I saw the Michael Jackson ❤️ “Remember The Time” reference.
    Thank you Lil Nas X for this🙏🙏

  2. ! Michael Jackson has been the greatest entertainer ever since he entered the entertainment world

  3. No one can top MJ’s “Do You Remember The Time” video or ANY of his music and videos. Choreography was ok. But not as sharp and crisp and uniform as MJ’s and Janets. Lil NasX performance was not hypnotic. Just okay. I have seen better choreography that were “take your breath away”, “heart pumping”, “this is it” in performances. But overall, it was ok.

  4. Oh God, ghastly performance. Just because he literally borrowed so much from MJ’s video doesn’t make it good.
