MJ wasn't that great live. I'm just gonna say it. Especially by the time Dangerous came out. He was winded all the time, and his voice wasn't that 20-something voice anymore. He wasn't old, but he'd been singing for decades by that point.

He lipsynced pretty much the whole of the History Tour, too.

It's not that he wasn't talented, but he needed backing track help. He's winded, and frankly hated performing live a lot in his later years. His effort wasn't that ...high on the scale.

PS That guy has the stems for "Let's Go Crazy," but I don't know why he hasn't done a video about it yet. (Don't ask me how I know. I just know.)

I have those stems as well.

He did a video on it but it seems 2 have disappeared.

it sounds like what you would hear if you cancelled out the high stereo volume and revving diesel engine of my work vehicle as i'm singing along to "Billie Jean" on my way to the job.

not good at all in reality, but great to me with all the noise surrounding my flat scream-sing

Then I missed it. I thought he just never did one on it.

I was going to do a long remix using those lets go crazy stems but I havent had time 2 mess with it.

Very interesting individual tracks. I still cant believe how many lyrics I actually had total wrong after 40 years.
