After Fabio Jackson pointed out the accurate parts of the biopic, he said that he also had a few other things he had to "nitpick."

In his words:

"I knew that I'm going to nitpick... You gotta get it right on to the T, to the material, to the sizing, to how baggy it is, to how many crystals, you know... You got the best wardrobe, like you got the wardrobe, like the best. Shoutout to Julie, right?"

He started talking about the trailer and further pointed out, saying:

"Like when there was no edges showing in the era that I should've been, the pants were a bit too tight, almost looked like there were another pair of pants... at the side... Too much of the leg warmers. Too much leg warmers."

Fabio was not too happy about the leg warmer situation, and said that he hopes they remove them in a few situations because MJ only wore them a few times and not too often. He also mentioned the glove and which hand it was worn on.

He added:

"But I didn't see the Motown glove. I didn't see it... He didn't have that."

Michael Trapson replied:

"Oh, okay. I see. I didn't even peep that. I gotta go back and look at it again."

The two Michael Jackson impersonators shared both praise and concerns about the upcoming biopic. They liked some accurate details, but also noticed mistakes in the costumes and styling. Their comments show how important it is to get every part right when portraying a legend like Michael Jackson.
