You sound confident, but no...
"Not quite the same" is frankly, respectfully, a semantic bullshit position here. All of what Jackson did was 99.7% the spirit of this Fosse performance. Period.
Further your point about rap is off as well because they don't "steal", they sample - meaning they license the use with legal permission OR they pay in court after the fact. It's listed in the liner notes and credit is given directly, unlike with Jackson and Fosse as I'd never once heard or read this growing up.
So again, you sound confident, while being very wrong.
