This so-called "tribute" was total rubbish.
The only thing similar between Fred's dancing here and Michael's song Smooth Criminal is that they're both wearing pretty much the same clothes. Also, there's a small part where they're both running up a flight of stairs, but that's where the similarities end. As for Michael's dancing, it's really nothing like Fred Astaire's. Michael's dancing was very limited compared to Fred's. Fred had much more range and was known for a wider variety of dance styles than Michael. To call Michael's Smooth Criminal a tribute is, if anything, an insult to Fred.

There’s a reason why Michael’s music and style basically ended so abruptly and did the same thing for years. He had nothing else to steal from Astaire. All he had was to sing about his horrible childhood. And nobody cared.

That seen is from The Band Wagon. Fred dances with Cyd Cherisse there. Fred really enjoyed Michael's dancing. You can see the influence there on Smooth Criminal probably my favorite Michael Jackson video.
