PrintableNow, here's your proof (as if it was needed) of how MJ just can't cut it anymore vocally. He sings live here for a grand total of 6 seconds and no sane person would deny that those 6 seconds sound awful. It starts at 4.27 and finishes at 4.33. Listen particularly to that last "Baby". He just flat-out cannot hit the note. Remember, 4.27 to 4.33. Those are the magic numbers. Enjoy.

Annika said: midnightmover said: Wrong. For instance fans will always point to vocals on albums as proof that MJ can still sing. When you point out that that is not the same thing as singing live, and that those vocals have been patched together, they simply don't understand the point and ignore it. It's not an opinion that you can fix things up in the studio. It's a simple fact. MJ fans don't understand these facts. That's why you have to repeat it to them over and over.  Aaah, don't cry about it, son. I realize it must be tough to find out what a dim tribe you belong to, but it's really not worth crying over. Here, have a hug.

I don't have a recordable DVD either and I have no intention of asking any friends to handle Michael Jackson footage for me. No offense, but he's a childish act and it would be embarrassing. People I hang out with are into Bob Dylan, Prince, Stevie, etc. Grown-up artists. I've managed to convert a few to Cyndi Lauper though. Just showed them a few clips and they saw what I meant right away. MJ's another thing though. Hmmm that's weird. I have friends who are really into Dylan, Stevie, Marvin, Prince and other artists but they also like Michael also. Now Cyndi Lauper? That's a different story Stevie and Prince were bad examples since they are closely linked to Mike, but most of the other names that came to mind were people you guys would never have heard of. Oh, and you need to enlighten your friends about Cyndi Lauper. She's the only popular performer out there today worth watching, apart from Prince of course.  “The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

midrov you sound more obsessed than the average fan- being out of breath and not being able to sing are two distictly different things.
we all know that you go to sleep clutching your autographed thriller album every night. Quit denying yourself the pleasure of totally being a fan too. LOVE HARD. | |

Yeah, he was out of breath, but a good singer would not be capable of sounding that atrocious. “The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

when i'm at the gym, running or doing some other kind of cardio workout, i can't sing (or talk) very well. just sayin'. An individualist is a man who lives for his own sake and by his own mind; he neither sacrifices himself to others nor sacrifices others to himself... | |

Sitting in the studio where you can take your time to get down the vocal correctly is much different then trying to hit a note after 4 minutes of dancing. MJ not being able to hit a note after 4 minutes of dancing is no proof that he can't sing anymore. He already proved he could still sing on Invincible with Butterflies, Break Of Dawn, Heaven Can Wait, Speechless, Whatever Happens, Don't Walk Away. And the vocals for the track "For all Time" on Thriller 25 are brand new. You don't dance in the studio when recording your tracks | |

And the video I posted was from 2006, and sounds great. This is from 2002, 4 years before. So a vid from 2002 is not going to prove he can't cut it vocally any more. www.maximum-jackson.com

I really agree with this. I DO NOT want to turn this into a MJ vs. P debate, because its like apples and oranges at this point. But I was in Minneapolis this past summer at the 7.7.07 concerts and a lady was saying how she used to be a big MJ fan but over time she converted to Prince because she felt like she got to know Prince through his music. She said she never felt like Michael put himself into his music, that it was always the producer's concept of Michael. She said you never got to know Michael. She said it wasn't as apparent early on but as time progressed with each new album it was clear that Michael was diconnected from the songs. Like his love songs were just generic songs, you did not get the feeling that he ever felt the real feelings that are involved in relationships, just ideas of them. When I reflected on MJ's music, I thought she really made a good, interesting point. perfection is a fallacy of the imagination... | |

Certainly, Prince is on a whole 'nother level in terms of this, but I do feel I've gotten to know Michael through his music over the years. Certainly his happy love songs are completely generic, but let's face it, relationships with women are not his forte. His angry songs, however, be they about love, or more general, certainly come from the heart. You don't get much real happy or affection from Mike, but you certainly get a lot of rage, pain and paranoia (see pretty much all of HIStory). Just my two cents.  | |

[Edited 3/26/08 15:42pm] excuse my "fandom" kicking in, but prior to this award presentation, it was said by some sources that he was going to get the millenium award and by other media outlets that it was on his birthday. After receiving the award, the winners of awards that night were listed on the mtv site, and it listed mj as winning 'artist of the millenium' and a few hours later, was taken down from what I recall. While I'm not denying that he was so out of touch with his surroundings at the time and having health issues, I really think that this was a joke planned by mtv, all for ratings. If you think about it, this happened at the very beginning of the show, at a time when the host who is usually a comedian makes jokes about celebs that year who made headlines, he WAS the punchline. If my joke theory is out of line, then maybe it was a miscommunication and his people gave him the wrong information about what he was there for that night. Remember, this was the time when he had the worst people around him he could ever have, so it comes off as a setup, whether intentional or not [Edited 3/26/08 23:59pm] | |

I remember that and being surprised, but if you're out of breath and moving around, it's easy to hit the wrong note, though it sounds like his voice also kind of cracked at the same time during that. He was clearly not fit to perform that night, as I remember him having a sore ankle that night. | |

If the news does not allow them to pick up on him, they ignore it. "When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all." | |

Funny you should say that! I try and post this proof every time I see a non fan saying "Mj was a dickhead and mistook a birthday cake and giant music note for a millennium award. How embarrassing". but whenever I do show it to people, it goes ignored. Oh well, I try my best.
I'm just sick of people saying that fans are blind. Well, this is staring me straight in the face, and I can read. 
YES Michael received a Millennium award and YES it was sabotage with what MTV and the media did to him afterward. No doubt about it. www.maximum-jackson.com

Yes, and also usually he's slim and fit, but during that time he was totally out of shape! Just look at him! That was also visible during the early part of the Bashir thing... I agree though that it was amazing to see him that out of breath after a relatively short performance! | |

Here's another example. This time from 1992. Now, this was when Mike was still a great performer, and had only lost about 25% of his voice, but even at this stage he cannot hit the high notes that he hits on record. The high notes start at 3.00. On the album he sings incredibly when the choir comes in, but live he simply can't do that on the higher notes, so he has to resort to a weak falsetto instead. There's no way he could have gone on tour doing it like that, so he didn't. He mimed the song instead. Now, what's the excuse for this one guys? I want to hear some good, creative excuses. Don't let me down.
It's worth pointing out as well that his voice was stronger in the rehearsals than it was on the tour, because his voice always weakens on tour. Which proves why the theory of him just being out of practise is nonsense. Singing regularly on tour would easily get rid of any rustiness, but Mike's voice didn't get better on tour. It deteriorated every time. Taken from the same rehearsal, he also struggles on the high notes here. Every time the high notes come along, he struggles. Sure enough, he decided not to sing this one live on tour either. Start getting the excuses ready guys. “The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

Still, announcing it on the site afterward- it's obvious they at least planned to give him an award! The reason I say 'from my understanding' is that adverts for the show stated he would be given an award. If I can find that ad, I guess I'll have proof.
And you posted rehearsals. He does most of that singing half assed except through like 2 songs, like many singers do during rehearsals. There's clips of him during the Bad tour rehearsals where he doesn't even sing! Not making excuses, it's just a rehearsal, is all.
It's also fairly well known that Michael canceled Dangerous shows because of voice and throat problems. He actually had nodules on his vocal chords- a publicist said as much early on in the tour. I can't explain his lip syncing and I don't like the fact he does it and will never know what he sounds like live until he actually sings live again. www.maximum-jackson.com

What's obvious is that one of their employees got confused by Mike's speech and made a mistake, which was soon corrected. Get back to me when you've found something from BEFORE the event, not afterwards. I wish you the best of luck in your search.

You can't explain it, because the obvious explanation, which is staring you right in the face, is too upsetting for you to admit, even to yourself. “The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

1.Why is this thread still open? Considering how people were unhappy with all the MJ threads on the Org, one would think it would be closed by now 
2.Well, since it's still open, how about some of ya'll sign the petition of the Bad Tour'88 on DVD?  The link is in my siggy "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |

midnightmover: yes they DID announce before the show that he's getting that millenium award and mentioning it is his birthday. I was so tuned into mj news that time and would hear this kind of stuff on the radio in summer 2002 a week prior to the show.
And whoever saved the screencap, THANK YOU!!! I wish we had proof of articles before the show saying that he's getting that award, I'm positive they were saying that he was going to receive it about mj's voice, he's not a superhuman, he will make mistakes too and beat himself up for it after too. Good singers, no matter who they are will make mistakes time to time too, especially if they are disoriented or have not kept their voice in shape, which he may have not done before that performance [Edited 3/27/08 10:59am] | |

I don´t join the discussions as I used to."When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all." | |
