unique said:

Timmy84 said:

Has he ever done Liberian Girl live? I think it's too difficult with the incredible harmonies on it.

bboy87 said:

i did

mynameisnotsusan said:

No he hasn't.

Timmy84 said:

There was apparenty a one off performance of it on the Bad tour. He dedicated it to Elizabeth Taylor as I think she was in hospital at the time.

PatrickS77 said:

well i don't consider an appearance to do two songs during a concert featuring other artists a proper concert, but as i said before it was in 1999 so still 10 years ago, and making it 12 years since he played anything like a full show

i don't know about you, but there are things i can't do now that i could do 12 years ago, and i guess that the older you get, the more that happens, and when you get towards 50 you certainly won't be able to do a lot of physical things. maybe madonna can, but she's a freak of... wait, not nature, there is nothing natural about her body these days, i suppose you could say the same about MJ, but instead of looking physically stronger like madonna, he looks physically weaker. in saying that, he's a bit of a one trick pony when it comes to his dancing, so it's probably not that hard for him after all. with a team of backing dancers to cover for him he could probably pull it off. but i'm not sure what the obsession is to going to a gig to see someone dance, the idea of a pop/rock concert is to hear bands and artists play live music

personally i'd rather he stood still on stage or walked about like most artists so he isn't out of breathe and can sing the songs instead of shout them. by that i mean if you listen to artists live shows during energetic and dance sections, instead of singing they tend to shout the lyrics instead, so the musical performance is compromised. this is why they tend to rely on lipsynching for those sections, but who would prefer to see someone dance to a lipsynched track, than stand still and sing the song live? i certainly would prefer all the music and singing to be live. choreographed dancing during shows just seems fake and unnatural. i don't want to keep on using prince as a comparison, but this is a prince site, and even joe public would compare prince and mj at times, but i was watching back over his tour videos and noticed that the more rehearsed and choreographed the show, the worse it was, with lovesexy being the worst offender, although in saying that there are plenty of other impromtu moments to balance it out. one other thing i noticed, which i thought was unusual was that during very energetic dancing and movement, he never sounds out of breath or changes his voice when he returns to the mic. it's like he has abnormally high cardio and breathe control. if you listen back to any live prince stuff, his voice sounds consistently good whether he is dancing or standing still, and he most definately doesn't use memorex

and let me just get one thing perfectly clear, i'm not trolling or baiting or anything like that. that serves no purpose to me. as you can see i have clear well written, well thought out and knowledable posts in which i share both facts and my opinion on a website forum i have frequented regularly for years. if i was to say the same things about prince it wouldn't be considerd baiting and trolling would it? when prince does something that fans don't agree with and voice concerns online, it's never considered trolling and baiting is it? so why, on a prince site of all places, and most definately not a michael jackson one, is it considerd trolling and baiting if someone takes the time to express facts and points of view that other prince fans registered on a prince fan site don't agree with? is everyone blinkered in a way that everything prince does is wrong, so it's perfectly fine to post shit about him, but every other artist is untouchable and you can't speak your mind on them? like a complete opposite of any other fan site where fans would never say a negative thing about the artist the site is devoted to, but it's fair game to slag off the competition

now let me get this clear, as i'm not referring to anyone here, as this is a prince site and all registered members are all prince fans and not michael jackson fans as far as i'm concerned, michael jackson fans would obviously spend time on MJ sites in the same way as the obsessed prince fans spend time here, but what is it that makes MJ fans so fucking madley obsessed with him to the point of being in complete denial about anything non positive about his past? to some degree i can understand fans standing up for the artists they love, and you have certain artists that have crazy obsessed fans, but MJ takes it to another level, which considering his extremely dubious personal life just makes the whole situation seem even more bizzarre

even on the org when prince fans who also like/liked MJ chat about him, it seems to some that he can do no wrong and attempt to stand up for him. if prince did any of the things that MJ was allegedly to have done, very few fans would blindly stand up and support him, especially if there was evidence facing them that he did what he was alleged to have done. the minute prince does something that fans don't like, we seem to get together to condem his actions, but MJ fans seem to get together to support him. it's almost like a religous cult that can't see no wrong in thier beiefs

i've raised concerns and given researched explanations as to his attendance at these shows for example, but MJ fans on a prince website can't seem to discuss and debate in an unbiased manner and accept the facts put towards them. considering those aren't the real hardcore fans that would frequent the MJ sites and wouldn't dream of visiting another artists site, that's pretty alarming. i really can't imagine what the real hardcore fans must have going on in thier heads. i mean we have some real fruit loops in princeland and on this site, but even the weirdest ones i can think of just don't compare with MJ fans when it comes to blind fanatisism

Good news for all Michael Jackson fans: although “This Is It” will be the King of Pop’s final “curtain call” as he himself announced, it may expand to more locations than just London’s O2 Arena, sources are saying. The 50 dates in London might be just a fraction of a three-year “master plan” that Michael has devised, with the US coming next, Kenny Ortega of the VegasDeluxe says.

When the singer announced the initial 10 dates of the “This Is It” tour, which kicks off this summer, speculation had it that he was only going to perform in the UK because his fanbase in Europe was much stronger than that in the US.

This is not to say that there are no MJ fans back in his home country, though, but just that he has more chances of success if he makes his comeback elsewhere. Now, Ortega shares, all signs are pointing to London being just a “warm up,” with the US coming up next, perhaps in the summer of2010.

“It’s highly possible that Michael Jackson’s new 50-concert run in London is part of a three-year master plan that could net the King of Pop a staggering $500 million! […] There’s a solid rumor that when Michael’s first England run ends in September and resumes again there in January that he may well do a series of US concerts. Although AEG wants him to appear in Las Vegas, it’s more likely it will be in New York or L.A. where there are arenas with 15,000 to 20,000 seats. ‘The London ticket sales were really a testing of the waters,’ one source told me. ‘There’s no question that Michael and AEG are discussing a world tour now’.” Ortega writes.

Even if this turns out to be just wishful-thinking, Michael Jackson fans (those who have been quick enough to get their hands on a ticket, that is) will still have a blast at the UK series of performances. Reports in the industry claim that the singer is going the extra mile – and then some – to make sure that his shows top anything else the music industry has ever seen. This also includes illusions in the manner of reputed magician Criss Angel, which would have Michael float above the stage and then land on a specific spot, the aforementioned source reveals.

Other surprises would include, according to reports, many look-alikes that would dance and provide the wow factor, while also acting as diversions in case Michael grows tired. “A small army of Michael Jackson look-alike dancers might be recruited as a backup troupe to handle the more challenging routines so the 50-year-old singer won’t be strained during the nightly 100-minute production, his first since 1997.” Ortega adds. For more on what insiders have to say of Michael’s much-mediated comeback, including of his upcoming album, go here.

this is the o2 from block 421 on level 4

The one song I would love love love to hear him sing as an adult is 'We've Got Blue Skies'. Or 'Can I See You In The Morning'. Any of those sort of unknown great Jackson 5 songs from the first couple of albums. Of course I doubt he would ever do that, but that would be like a dream. And it would be great if he would sing some of the bigger hits acapella or slow ballad style versions. I find them a bit boring to listen to now.

Wow thats an awful view. Half the stage is blocked

PatrickS77 said:

It is ok though...he is friends with Luv4u

unique said:

Now you're just grasping at straws. Who cares if other people have done more than him? How does that even factor into the consideration? Michael is Michael, not Prince or George Michael or Madonna or anyone else.

As for the second part, reread my reply. I already answered your point (and nowhere did I say he was faking it).

It seems like the bottom line is that you really, really want to see him cancel because he's a diva. You have no legitimate historical reason to think he will (he never has before, and he has never been described as anything but totally professional by anyone he has worked with), so you're trying to draw links to completely unrelated behaviour to make yourself feel better. Is that a fair summary?
