    huh must not be seeing what you are seeing cuz he barely was moving and when he did it wasn't anything spectacular.



  2. 202

    Wow…he so wanted this…. My heart aches for him…I know one of the main reasons for this concert, was to show his kid's what Daddy can do…and now the kids will never get to experience such greatness in person….yes videos plenty…but not quite the same.



  3. 203

    RIP King Of Pop!



  4. 204

    Honestly…
    I really don't think he still had it. I mean he was doing amazing for his age and physical condition but he just didn't seem to be keeping up with the back up dancers. And all the dance moves seemed very…elementary and slightly basic. And to say he still had it is to say he danced as good as he did in the 90s and sadly that just isn't the case. R.I.P. MJ



  5. 205

    I am heart broken…this is truly amazing and I want to keep watching it…

    206

    wow!of course he still had it in him!!poor MJ why him anybody but him!!



  7. 207

    very sad.



  8. 208

    Re: tick_tock_tick_tock – Are you serious? I'm not even going to go there with you b/c you are a sick person. My reason (Michael) for even having discussions with you in the past is no longer here so I won't even lower myself to your level. Millions of people are mourning this angel, including people who had negative feelings about him in their hearts. When you pass and if you go to heaven I hope God turns you away from Michael as he's performing up there in heaven. It's sad to know that you find so much humor in the passing of such a great man. God bless you.



  9. 209

    Also, it's common to not go all out on rehearsal (just go through the steps). I agree that it was slower tempo.



  10. 210

    thats just so gut wrentching. I want to fall into a deep sleep, and when I wake up this would have been a horrible nightmare and Michael would still be alive
    :(



  11. 211

    he looks painfully thin and shaky in his moves at times. breathing kind of heavy too at the end…but that could be because of more rehersal than we see. damn…. you could tell though he still had it! still so very, very tragic.



  12. 212

    Re: BRIGHTON… – He was lipsynching when he moonwalked on the MTV Awards Show…



  13. 213

    right at the end the producer says "pause for applause…and fade out" MJ smiles & then the lights cut out….kinda sad seeing that!

    the whole "fade out" he smiles, lights fade…and then there was no more!

    214

    Boring. Tired. Out of date. He'd been doing the same moves for 25 years.



  15. 215

    He definitely still had it- Damn MJ, what happened to you? : (

  16. Crish says – reply to this


    216

    WOW! RIP MICHAEL. AMAZING!
    He is going to be missed!!

  17. fiera says – reply to this


    217

    Michael, may you rest in peace. I will always love and admire your amazing talent and beautiful soul!!!!!



  18. 218

    brings tears to my eyes, and i have cried for him for 2 days already



  19. 219

    This concert would have been so good. I miss him already. :(



  20. 220

    he looked AMAZING!!!! and i love that song



  21. 221

    This is just so very very sad to watch, I bet it would have been a great show!



  22. 222

    Aw, sad.



  23. 223

    pure g r e a t n e s s . serious talent. and yes, he was REALLY singing here. and the choreography was appropriate for the song… it was dramatic. it was beautiful. it was michael.



  24. 224

    Still had it? I think it's more that Kenny Ortega has it. The Michael part isn't that convincing.

  25. aly25 says – reply to this


    225

    people say in this video michael looks *Slower* then he did before. Well for one, he is 50, not 20, so yeah obviously he would be just a bit slower because of that. That being said , he still was an amazing talent who is better at 50 then some will ever be in their entire lifetime at any age. The whole thing is a tragedy. People can point a finger at the doctors and at a lot of things….but really the one who should have the finger pointed at him the MOST is his father for fucking up michaels head at 5 years old and never giving him the chance at even having a normal life. Who knows the truth of anything being talked about, anything he was accused of over the years etc….the only thing ANYONE really knows for *Sure* is that he was amazingly gifted and entertained millions and millions of people for more then a generation and that is what he should be remembered for. RIP MJ.



  26. 226

    Dres Reid…looking AMAZING! MJ still had it…amazing talent…amazing man…robbed too soon from this planet!



  27. 227

    Wow, that is so depressing. And he looked so good…and only two days after he leaves us. I was listening to Michael in the car today, dam near cried. Cant believe he's gone.

    RIP Legend.



  28. 228

    ok, its quite obvious that some of you either dont know performers//never seen backstage footage OR have never seen MJ perform. so lets help you, part one; this is a REHEARSAL its not at the exact pace and its not ACTUALLY SUNG. of course he lip sings during the rehearsal all singers do, because one of the main reasons they rehears is the dance moves not the actual song. because most singers can get up there and sing the song the exact same. so not much practice needed. (AND YES ALL SINGERS DO USE A BACKTRACK FACE IT THEY DO) but they focus more on the movments rather than them actually singing because they know they can sing it, its just a matter of makin sure they can sing while they dance. now on to part two. Most of Michaels dancing was never at the same rate/choreography as his backround dancers because half of the time he just busted out with random dance moves on his own. watching his concerts you can tell that he never sticks to choreo, because if you watch diffrent performances of the same songs its never the same thing twice, so they probably just teach him some basics then let him off to do his own thing. also keep in mind the fact that this guy was on more pain killers because of all the bullshit he went threw from the media AND that he is 50 fuckin years old, hes amazing. Michael always will be the best =).



  29. 229

    the last shot when he smiles made me cry R.I.P Michael i will miss you forever!!!



  30. 230

    Had it? Really, watch that again…..you call THAT dancing? He could not dance that well….more like just pointing, spinning around and grabbing his crotch - what talent



  31. 231

    WOW .. amazing….



  32. 232

    WOW!! Theres no doubt that he STILL had it! That was amazing, his dancing is just like it was back in the day!!!! RIP Michael, the Legend! I love you!



  33. 233

    omg i will love you forever michael, so and you had to leave us so early, this would've been a great concert…RIP love you :-(



  34. 234

    i dont feel so bad for him.

    didnt he molest a bunch of little kids, and used his money to keep it out of court? yeah. he doesnt deserve pity.



  35. 235

    wow omg 50 yrs old and he didnt miss a step or a beat ppl would have definitely gotten their moneys worth. he will forever be the king, the greatest to have ever done it!

  36. alpal says – reply to this


    236

    This video makes me so sad.



  37. 237

    WOW! MJ is amazing! RIP



  38. 238

    Re: flosstradyssa – he didnt molest kids dumb ass, the 1st time the kids parents accepted hush money (which wasn paid for by his insurance and others not by michael) and the 2nd time he was found not guilty. so learn your shit =)

  39. $onia says – reply to this


    239

    Damn….That looks like it would have been an awesome concert to see. Such a huge shame that he didn't get to perform for us all again. We miss you, Michael Jackson - there will never be another like you.



  40. 240

    michael jackson is incredible



  41. 241

    Re: Betty Bummer – : People, stop the lies and the fake rumors! Although it is natural to exagerate a legend, Michael Jackson IS NOT 6'5” TALL! Come on… He is about 5'10”-5'11”. Stop making up stories about him! Leave him in peace…



  42. 242

    Simply AMAZING!!



  43. 243

    That would have been a great show.



  44. 244

    He didnt seem to be dancing like he usually did.



  45. 245

    he smiled at the end!!! that was so sweet. i almost am crying now ! =(



  46. 246

    God, I miss Michael so much. It's such a shame that he didn't get to tour again, but truthfully, he is in such a better place. I think his last album said it all–INVINCIBLE! What an amazing man!



  47. 247

    Wow. Definitely still had it. I'm in denial.



  48. 248

    so sad! and at the the end as it was going black totally saw him smile. that was the best part. RIP MJ!



  49. 249

    he still had it.. RIP

  50. k-lee says – reply to this


    250

    OMG… it would've been a great come back for him. :( I loved every second of it.



  51. 251

    I knew he still had it! I never lost faith! If the concerts had happened, they would have been a hit. No question.



  52. 252

    Its still hard to sink in that he is dead. His death had brought up so much controversy about him, his family and his kids and MJ is the only person who can end the controversy.



  53. 253

    WOW! amazing ♥



  54. 254

    I get so sad watching this. He looked pretty much like his old self, he had his energy.

    I still believe he could have been saved. I wish someone had saved him. The world wasn't ready to let him go yet.



  55. 255

    you're very write perez, he sill had it at 50! it really is sad even with all those rumors. he was and will always be a music legend!! R.I.P. MJ :(



  56. 256

    I disagree. He looks so exhausted. You compare that with anything else he's done and you can tell he's lacking a lot of energy.



  57. 257

    this just brings tears to my eyes! Michael NEVER lost it. Legends like him never loose it. I love Michael. I grew up with his music just like all his fans. I never got to meet him or see him perform but it was always one of my biggest dreams. Thats never going to happen now. All i want is for Michael to finally get his rest that he deserves. He looked amazing in the video and sounded just as amazing! Most Amazing footage Ive ever seen! Michael I love you!!! RIP!! :(



  58. 258

    nice!!!

    "hold for applause, hold for applause." don't know why but i found that hilarious



  59. 259

    I am very sad he died but I will be honest… he didn't have it. No it wasn't horrible, but if you watch a couple of his music videos from back in the day, you will see a huge difference. He didn't even come close to his old dance moves. He looked slow and wasn't doing much in this clip. RIP Michael



  60. 260

    Wow, he's amazing! The show would have been awesome! I'm sad nobody gets to see it and even more sad that Michael is gone :( I will miss him sooo deeply! He was not only a great artist but also a great human being. So incredibly kind-hearted and lovable. Unfortunately also very misunderstood.
    I can understand him because I also had a tough childhood and never got to be a kid. Therefore I try to be as much of a child as I can now instead to compensate. I wish more people would stop thinking about what others might think and do the same.

    Sending all my love to Michael, and strenght to his family. His children had the best father in the world, there's nothing Michael wouldn't do for them. I'm sure he is by their side always and forever!

    I hope he has found unconditional peace, love, harmony and joy now, as he gave the world. Thank you so, so, so much for everything! You will always live in my heart and I wish I get to meet you on the other side when my time has come.



  61. 261

    My heart also aches because you can tell how much he wanted this, and how much he wanted to show the world :'(

    I also want to wake up and realize that this is only a nightmare and that he's still alive. I can't believe this, it's so unfair to him!

    I absolutely LOVE his smile at the end, but at the same time it hurts to know we won't see that smile anymore.

    Michael, you are so missed. I wish you can see how incredibly loved you are, and somewhere deep inside I think you do. Rest in peace, angel.

  68. 268

  69. 269

    Michael is great!! I still can't believe he died, R.I.P. Michael!! You rock. It's too bad we can't see him on tour ever again.. So sad..



  70. 270

    He looks tired. Really cute how he smiles at the last second of the recording.



  71. 271

    Wow. He was still fantastic and has such stage presence. He just has that 'spark' that makes you smile when you watch him. He was singing live over a backing track, and his voice is amazing, what a talent. None of todays artists even come close.



  72. 272

    so healthy and happy..



  73. 273

    Wow!
    Love you Michael.



  74. 274

    OMG THAT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  75. 275

    WOW!!!
    Those shows would have been MAGIC!!



  76. 276

    He will ALWAYS HAVE "IT" What so many performers nowadays will never acheive. I miss him so much and I never even met the man. His presence and legacy will live on forever! Michael you were incredible and words cant even describe how much we all miss you!



  77. 277

    He will always be an amazing person in my heart. RIP Michael.



  78. 278

    oh, michel, why? :( we'll miss you so much…



  79. 279

    Of course he still had it,he was a super star. RIP Michael.



  80. 280

    He still had what? All he did was march across the stage and kick is foot up a couple times?



  81. 281

    Unbelievable the number of unstable individuals commenting on MJ. My God, crying for and "loving" some celebrity unknown to you on any personal level is just plain delusional, it is no way connected to real love. I've been completely impressed by various celebrities over the years, but confusing that with love? That just diminishes the love you have for real people in your lives.



  82. 282

    I am still in shock over his death. He was easily the most famous, talented person the world has seen. There will never be another Michael Jackson. RIP xxxx



  83. 283

    Michael Jackson was one the best musicians, dancers and songwriters that ever lived. He will be VERY missed and what a tragedy. Many people believe all the haters out there that had nothing but mean and bad things to say about him was part of why he was on so may meds. Liars all liars! What go around comes around…They will have their day in hell…



  84. 284

    Made me cry.



  85. 285

    2 dayz after
    he pazzed,
    he played on the
    beach with me
    in a dream vizit….
    thank U Michael, alwayz luv=d U♥♥♥♥♥)))))
    KING OF ALL MUZIC IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD!!!



  86. 286

    He would have been amazing to see, I was so looking foward to it. :(



  87. 287

    I love the little smirk as the lights are fading. He truly looks happy. Rest In Peace Michael. You will live on in all our hearts FOREVER



  88. 288

    so heart breaking i cant watch anymore r.ip. mj we luv u



  89. 289

    Wow, he was horrible.

    You can def. tell he has been doing drugs :/



  90. 290

    MARIO.. BET IF U STOP POSTING THINGS ON MJ U WONT HAVE NEARLY AS MANY HITS… U R SO FAKE ..U U U U U U U U U U POSTED HE FAKED HIS DEATH THEN DELETED IT WHEN U FOUND OUT THE TRUTH… UR AN ASS

    on another note.. LOOK HOW MJ TRANSFORMS INTO THE LARGER THAN LIFE SUPERSTAR ON STAGE THAT WE ALL KNOW AND LOVE!!!!!!!!!!



  91. 291

    fucking kills me to watch this without tears streaming down my eyes…



  92. 292

    poor guy.
    its heartbreaking that he is no longer with us.
    RIP MJ.



  93. 293

    He was amazing, and always will be. He is the King of Pop and he will NEVER be de-throned. Talent like that doesn't exist anymore. Rest In Peace Michael, the world will NEVER forget you



  94. 294

    wow… it's creepy to watch that knowing he was days away from dying. it's just so sad. michael jackson will always rule!



  95. 295

    Had what??? Anyone could have done that.



  96. 296

    AMAZING!! HE LOOKED FINE!! I CANT BELIEVE HIS GONE!! I LOVE & MISS YOU MICHAEL!! RIP



  97. 297

    Even just waching that short 1 minute and 34 seconds of footage, it still blows me away how much talent Michael Jackson had. This man was not just a singer, he was an entertainer too…it's shocking how little the amount of people there are who have both of these qualities nowadays. It's now up to us to help Michael Jackson live on and remain the King of Pop.



  98. 298

    i think michael was a talented person who would of did an amazing comeback i wish he was still alive so that i can see his performance he was suppose to have his son sing with him onstage and another thing why is people saying michael is a child molester when it was obvious he didn't molest them kids the boy back in 93 came right out and said that it wasn't true that his father made him lie in order to get the money to keep from being poor.which i don't get why wait untill when michael dies to tell the truth



  99. 299

    Re: Brandonlk
    It's called a REHEARSAL! You don't tire yourself in a REHEARSAL!!!



  100. 300
