Ahh, its all good. Now I'm jealous cause you live where I wish I was!

thekidsgirl said:

Have you ever been out here?

Rodya24 said:

yeah and during practice, he couldnt do the moves right lol. watch the RTT video. notice how u barely see him at all, they mostly show the dancers

InsatiableCream said:

Ooh, they sure did!!!! Those moves were complicated for real. If Mike had pulled it off that'll been great but that was foreign to him. He was used to doing what he did during the "Thriller" and "Bad" stages though he hasn't done much in-line dancing in his videos since.

I had to do the dance for a performance(I was the choreographer) and people quit because it was too hard

bboy87 said:

LOL! I could do it too. But I feel if I had dancers doing it, they'll quit in the middle of it too.

bboy87 said:

Not yet but my best friend is moving to San Jose next summer/fall so I can't wait to go then

LittleBLUECorvette said:

I think you mean Houston used to be.....

bboy87 said:

H-Town >> Bay Area. Our club scene down here is major. How many rappers down their have there won clubs? Mike Jones, Z-Ro, ect got it on lock.

LittleBLUECorvette said:

We have E40, Too Short, Messy Marv, Mista FAB, Digital Underground

I'm telling you. San Francisco, San Jose, Berkeley, Oakland are always crazy on the weekend.

Well, Oakland is ALWAYS crazy

I think we ALL are way to desperate for a new MJ release! There's a thread everyday where we appriciate something he did in the past

LightOfArt said:

Well, I'm not one of those crazy MJ fans, but I did want to bring this funny performance up around here since there are so many of his fans on here

bboy87 said:

There needs to be.

It's funny how at some parts he totally stops lip-syncing all together...he was even smiling and looked to be laughing during a part of the song when he should have been singing. Man, MJ I like his little bits of effort though...his dancing from the chair was cute. I have to admit I was a little distracted by his constant nose rubbing...did he have a cold too, because the only people who I see who rub their nose that much are people with a runny nose or people who put shit up their nose... Stopping before I get beat down and moonwalked over by a MJ fan. His hair looked fierce though and RTT is still one of my favorite MJ songs...right up there with "I Wanna Rock With You" and "Smooth Criminal".

thekidsgirl said:

San Jose is cool. You're gonna have to check out San Francisco and maybe Berkeley

I find this performance hilarious. I love it.

thekidsgirl said:

yeah his fans will take anything they can get nowadays

estelle81 said:

I swear your reaction was identical to mine!

if he didn't want to dance why not sing??

I remember this performance.... I do.. and i probably was begging and crying to stay up late so i could watch it... I remember the days as a lil kid... it was so much fun.... and we would always cry and ask my mom if i could watch Michael perform... if michael was on tv and i somehow found out about it... I would beg... but most of the time... My mom would keep a look out for michael jackson.. cause she is a fan too.....

I miss the 90's..... so much... it seemed everything was at a slower pace...

ehuffnsd said:

lol, at last someone asks the blindingly obvious question. It shows how myopic his fans are that none of them even think to mention that.

midnightmover said:

Oh please, it's been disucssed before. A lot of MJ fans do not like the fact that he lip synchs and I thought it was lazy of him not to even attempt to sing live that night.

Man, Mike just didn't wanna do it!

He was cool just sitting there but that's not the Michael Jackson I wanted.

The best thing he did that night was show up, lol. But he had to claim an accident caused him not to dance, lol. He just didn't wanna dance that night... or sing nonetheless.

Timmy84 said:

Oh yeah.. he claimed an injury to not have to dance! Right! You know that he just couhld have not show up? Without any explanation or excuse whatsoever! Or show up and simply not perform? He did that numerous times before.. he doesn't have to fake anything to do that!

PatrickS77 said:

Well, he does know the dance routine as the clips of him practicing in Neverland for the Dangerous Tour demonstrates (he even sings the song live). But for some reason "Remember The Time" was left out of the tour.

As for him not singing live or dancing for this particular award show, yes, it is wrong. But I think it is cool to watch this and look back on a time when he had enough star power to generate applause whilst just sitting on a chair.

Rodya24 said:

And that's why I said the best thing he did was show up. He showed out sitting on a damn chair and still got the standing ovation simply because he's Michael. Even in an imperfect moment, he was perfect if that shit makes any fucking sense.

P.S., lord, people are sensitive around here.

Timmy84 said:

I know! Usually, I am really really sensitive when it comes to the subject of Michael Jackson, but there is nothing to get upset over in this thread. I just think it is cool he had enough star power to generate applause after basically doing nothing. LOL.

Cinnamon234 said:

I guess he just considered it to be a night off completely
