Chris Brown channeled his inner Michael Jackson during the 2011 American Music Awards.

The singer, who lost the Favorite Soul/R&B Album to Rihanna, graced the stage during the event, kicking it off with his stripped down rendition of F.A.M.E. cut “All Back.” Tossing on a white jacket, the singer showed off some Michael Jackson dance moves during “Say It With Me,” which closed the performance on a powerful note.

Watch the performance below.
