I've watched this chick for nearly 15 years now. I remember when she was on the New Mickey Mouse Club

I saw Brit and Christina and Justin but I was kinda annoyed with them. They seemed too fake and shit (much like the Disney people of today, lol). At the time they were on MMC, I was into Ren & Stimpy and Beavis & Butthead.

Anyway, I'm gonna post part one of the MSG finale, just focus on the first fifty minutes or so...I swear you're gonna laugh:

I watched MMC because I wanted one of the letter jackets

My show was "All That" all day everyday!

bboy87 said:

"All That" was our "Saturday Night Live". I watched it to get over the loss of "In Living Color".

Timmy84 said:

WHAT. THE. FUCK?!

His one line at the end of "We Are The World" was emabarrassing too (totally out of tune). Does anyone still wonder why this guy is practically retired?

midnightmover said:

I skipped that part because I was still laughing at his "falsetto" at the beginning. I'm like "Michael, the fuck happened there? Your falsetto was fine during 'I'll Be There'! The fuck?!"

Timmy84 said:

what was that painfull screaming??

reminds me of madonna doing ROL at the VMAs...omg

Timmy84 said:

Where he was talking to Greg Philliganes?

That one line at the WATW. He wasn't even singing, he was just talking

bboy87 said:

He wasn't even trying to sing. You could barely hear him when he DID sing.

The best part of the whole sorry MSG 20 show was when Luther Vandross walked on stage during Man In The Mirror and completely blew everybody with his vocals. Sheer class.

He comes on at 1:55 if you don't want to sit through some boy band and Usher.

Timmy84 said:

Of course he was trying to sing. In the past he would have sung it with ease. His voice has just weakened. Please quit with the excuses.

midnightmover said:

Not excusing. I agree he was really struggling but got damn, lol.

midnightmover said:

No excuses. Just calling it like I see it. The one line wasn't even singing

bboy87 said:

Just because singing is bad, doesn't mean it's not still singing. It's just bad singing. And you're ALWAYS making excuses for Michael. Remind me why he lip synchs ballads in concert again?

midnightmover said:

i have no clue why he lip synchs ballads. You're getting your MJ fans confused again MM
oh yeah, I have a cover of "Time After Time" that you might wanna hear

midnightmover said:

My guess is because it is harder to sing a ballad right after you just sang an uptempo song like, "Wanna be startin' something". One would be out of breathe and it is not easy trying to sing softly right after jumping around.

That dude was dancing too hard during those shows and when he did sing, he had no control over the voice. It was like it was damaged or something. That's ONE of the reasons his singing solo material was so sluggish.

bboy87 said:

You're definitely trying your best to avoid the obvious. Sometimes when something's staring you in the face it's best to just look straight at it instead of trying to look around, underneath, above and through.

I've heard so many "Time After Time" covers I don't know if I can face another one, but go ahead anyway. The worst one I've heard so far was Britney Spears's. The best one was either Miles Davis's or Eva Cassidy's.
