Don’t forget that he sold out 50 shows in London at the age of 50 after all the allegations, rumors and an almost 10 year break. That’s what I call a star
@@DjIceCnS I heard him extensively. And I do admire prince but It's MJ who brought me in music, dance or art in general. Infact my whole country 💖 MJ for one or the other reason .
Watching the small glimpses of his backup dancers, musicians, back up singers all watching him in awe almost brings me to tears. The crazy part is he was Michael Jackson to us, but even to his co-workers he was THE KING. They all are watching their hero perform the dance moves they studied as a kid right in front of their eyes. They are watching him as if they bought tickets to his show, and it's a beautiful thing to see.
Lo amare para siempre y si Dios me permite en la otra vida aqui en vida quería verlo desde los 😢 14 🌹❤️🌹❤️ lo haré en la otra vida junto con mi Miguel mi papá y mi mamá es mi esperanza 😢
I feel people forget that its just rehearsal footage which wouldn't be perfect first time. He was building up to perfection and why do a 100 percent in rehearsal and risk an injury
50 year old dancing like 24. Remember this, 1 Michael Jackson dance move is better than every single Tik Tok dance ever. RIP the greatest singer, vocalist, and musician of all time
Less than 48 hours. This was on his last rehearsal on June 24th how do I know? Because when he did a sound check for Man in the mirror he said goodbye to all of his dancers and singers and he gave them a little motivational speech before ending the rehearsal and moving to London. And he was wearing the same clothes there than in this video.
You're right, because for the rehearsals of june 23 and june 24 there was already lighting, screen, the cherry picker and the catapults for the choreographers, in this rehearsel of billie jean, this things no lists yet, in june 23 nd 24, michael rehearsal allmost all the songs
+Ryan Taylor dancing wise he's sharp n fluid as usual you can't lose that as a dancer no matter what age.he didn't go allout tho since it was only rehearsal.
Ryan he wasn’t even trying, he was just showing up, and even just that was enough for the crowd, he is a legend when would people understand that?? He could just stand there and say nothing and it would be fantastic just to see him!
3:20 never saw him do this before. It's like Reverse Wave throwing right shoulder to left response. His moves are smoother and more refined here. I love how he moves
@@nestorcsamacho6328 Yes maybe. It's super cool. I think he was just ad libbing. I swear as good of a dance he was, his best best most incredible moves always happened when he was just adlibbing and feeling the music spontaneously.
He did not lose his ability to dance. Every rehearsal, as rehearsal tapes showed, he would dance like he does not like rehearsing. And at show time, the bomb explodes-the grace, the accuracy, OMG.
Sigue teniendo su ritmo.pero.mas espeso!el propofanlo!imagino.mirad!el vídeo que publicó del año 88"de esta canción!pero.michael.siempre.de por vida!el mejor junto a Freddy Mercury!n.c.m!
To think, this is just MJ in the feeling out stages of his process. Doing run-throughs and figuring out the details. Probably not even going 40%, and still commanding the stage more than anyone in this day and age. Insane ability
From my understanding, based on reports, he struggled through a lot of his rehearsals and somebody started giving him a sort of upper to get him through these rehearsals, which led to more issues with him being able to rest.
Clearly the best ever. An extrodinary natural talent from 5-50yrs old. An amazing human being when it came to performing on stage. Very caring person off stage also. Gone to soon but never will be forgotten. His great music will live on for decades to come. His music is for all ages.
I love him so much. He died way too young. What a loss. What a talent, what vastness in emotional depth and what a sense of music and rhythm he is. So inspirational and beautiful. Pure passionate gifted and such feeling of timing in his voice and body
For those who said he sucked in this rehearsal, Michael never really gave 100% in rehearsals. He held back until the show. If you see some of his rehearsals for earlier tours, you'll see pretty much the same thing. Not as much (or as high energy dancing), etc. . .but each of those tours ended up being amazing. He knew what he was doing.
M Schubert yeah why he let his body drain you pipol wait until tje final and u can see the master piece.and this rehearsal is too much for me mybe even if icant go to his concert i watch this rehearsal im ok with it mj give soo much to entartain d stuff crew everybody in there!😎😍😗😗🤗😇
He performed BJ the way he did when he was in his 20s, same vocals, oh, those crisp moves, with new ones…even sexier. Greatest entertainer in the world! The King!
Actually made me cry 😭 watching this.. He was put under too much pressure, too many show date’s, they obviously knew about his health conditions., so sad he was a puppet of the industry in the end betrayed by the people that “made him”. He is iconic & lives on eternally through his music as they’ll never be another 💘
yeah, and with the right preparation, workouts, this tour would have probably saved his life.. cause isolation and not performing, I am sure, made his condition that bad. combined with the abuse claims. making new music, performing, it is all healthy and good, but not with the preparation propofol and barely eating... partly this was his fault too. the doc did what he was paid for, and MJ was a drug addict with money. this tour needed him getting clean, and switch that drug taking with something natural, sport, etc. to get his sleep again. but I guess it is a difficult life being him and doing simple things like going out and stuff. too many yes sayers. he would have needed somebody kicking his ass, and getting him out and move. like, good friends or something. seems like nobody did that, or he himself blocked this from happening. I also think that most people thought of him as a great musician, wanted to work with him, had "respect", but at the same time hiding the fact that they thought that he is a child abuser. not very cool. Iam sure that this made making music difficult for him.

i cant stop replaying 3:08 - 3:17 over and over again, the moment you hear "billie jean" MJ goes into serious mode, that famous pout he does and the little dance he does and the way smiles - absolutely fantastic - he looked like he really enjoyed that. to be one of those musicians / back up singers or dancers must of been awesome to witness such a LEGEND
It's called the funky four corners and he hadn't really done it since that era so I almost screamed when he pulled that out. I think he had old man brain and we got some jewels. He even forgets the words at one point and starts singing the lyrics from the Billie Jean demo.
You can see here that even though he is not anywhere near full flight, he had lost nothing at 50. If anything he even commands even more authority on the stage. His talent was unsurpassed……
he wasn’t giving it his best because michael was known to not give it his best during rehearsals, i’m not saying that’s the only reason (he probably hadn’t done this in a while) but michael usually didn’t give it the best in rehearsals but absolutely killed it in shows
and because you can see that he was trying something new and here you can see new moves too. and at the end michael is saying "at least we get a feel of it" so it's normal that Michael didn't dance at his fullest to save his energy and suprise everybody with new moves
His body never forgot the moves, amazing muscle memory. The way the press described him, he was hobbling across the stage with a walker and barely knew where he was. The actual footage shows him hyper-aware of music cues, song pitch, choreography, and direction. I think he pulled a Willie Wonka. The rehearsal is spellbinding. The live show would have blown the roof off.
he was being coached in his war piece. at one stage he was talking to himself too. Kenny Ortega was deeply worried. he had no genuine Rem for two month and that was the cause of most issues
+McQueenPress With "he pulled a Willie Wonka" do you mean that he hired a lookalike to dance at his place? Sorry to bother, but I'm Italian and also I never watched that movie about chocolate, hence that expression meaning is not clear for me. Thank you in advance to want clarifying. :)
Gene Wilder, as Willie Wonka played a trick when meeting guests to the Chocolate Factory. He pretended to be an ill, infirm, barely functional arthritic man who used a cane to walk. Then, SURPRISE! He tucks and rolls across the floor and jumps up healthy and vigorous. I believe he did it to lower expectations, then far exceed expectations.
+McQueenPress A_haa. Now I see. Thank you very much, milady. :) Basically it's the only movie starring Mr. Wilder that I never watched (I don't like much the genre, in fact I didn't watch the remake with Johnny Depp either).
Billie Jean was special for Michael. he fought with Quincy Jones to put that song in the Album. little did he know that this is his last performance of the legendary song which put him into mega stardom orbit
Subhan's Vault That ((Billie Jean)) could be closest to his heart, that's y it magically raised the legend to the peak. Nd ended him with his last performance with Billie Jean. The destiny...
Little did he know that he was going to die he said many times "They are going to kill me" i'm sure he knew that was his last performance of Billie jean it Sucks tho.
@4:34 MJ missed out the line "You know what you did". He realizes it and claps so forcefully to make sure to be more aware and more present. Look at his face while he claps. Pure frustration. He was forgetting lyrics.
The vocals are fake, they are overdubbed with prerecorded vocals from other sessions and you should know this by now if you have watched the full this is it movie and news articles about it.
I watched Moonwalker and This is it right after Moonwalker yesterday. This man is insane even when he was 50 years old. I love you Michael Jackson, you have persuaded me to sing and dance. I have completed dancing and singing to Billie Jean and Smooth Criminal. I started dancing and singing to Man in the mirror. Michael Jackson is introduced me into the Music Industry and it is very fun dancing and singing to his songs. Michael, you have sadly passed away, but your music will never die. R.I.P. to my dancing and introding god, you will always be missed. 1958-2009 💔💔💔
It’s really sad because if it weren’t for the 2003 allegations, he would’ve made more albums, he would have probably lived to do this tour, and I think he would’ve died at an older age. He was actually working on a new album when the allegations surfaced and he stopped working on it because of them. He is one of the few artists who never lost their talent with age.
@@ChillBell This is what I keep saying. I do not understand the people who say he was healthy here. HE CLEARLY WASN’T! As a MJ fan of 14 years, it was clear he didn’t wanna do this anymore, and was way too ill to continue it. His death basically spared him, as horrible as it sounds.
@@TheHauntedMansionArchive I ve been a fan of his for almost 30 years now. Michael was unwell, but his talent was god given and something we won’t see again for a few generations. When I look at Michael performing it’s much like I feel someone watching a Beethoven or Tchaikovsky performance would have felt. A master at his craft.
@@AmericanNope His talent was indeed god given. I've grown up watching Michael, always in awe on how he does his dance moves. I'm sad I only got 3 years with him, but I atleast was alive when he was.
No matter HOW old he was HOW skinny he was he still had the -passion -love - energy TO dance and sing with his WHOLE passion and love :) Michael Jackson 1958-forever :)
He would have never made it. 50 shows? With the health problems he had? Plus, I've heard that initially he agreed on 10, no idea how from then it came to 50
He agreed to do only 10. He only did this because he wanted to buy the 55million dollar house for his children and his guards weren't getting paid unless he signed to do this. I'm so sad. Michael was only human and he wasn't treated like one.
@@victoiremvl I heard he was infuriated when they jacked it up to 50 shows. But he was in financial ruin, so 10 shows wouldn't have been enough to cover him financially. AEG even had to threatened him saying that he would lose everything if he pulled the plug on the tour, because he already wasn't showing up to rehearsals. His son Prince claimed that he would constantly tell him "they're going to kill me" on many occasions..He would show up to rehearsals with layers of clothes because he would be ice cold due to the drugs and lack of proper sleep
Not live... how can you people be so easily fooled? Very gullible. It's the demo vocals for the majority of this rehearsal with live ad libs mixed in. That line you mentioned was from the demo.
I know how he was saving his energy, which is why I found it funny and enjoyable that at certain points he couldn't resist putting lots of effort in like at 3:06 He hit that move perfectly!!! :D
For a minute I thought his singing was all playback, but when he did the cut-offs it was all live vocals. Goodness, his vocal's sounded like the original version!
2:00 All of the time... Alright, i see, alright All of the time Where we go, in the winds, in the wild... She told me i was a lonely man and i felt sad, she called my name and you said hello, all them who died And i sit in a cup in a ride. Billie jean demo 1981
+Lauren Faerber he had half of it seriously what the hell were those moves look at dangerous tour rehearsals he's smooth as hell looks like he's gonna fall over here
You were, are, and will always be a star Michael! There's no one like you and, never will there be anybody like you . You're still alive in our hearts and souls. You were and still are the Greatest entertainer of ALL TIMES. We love you and miss you. R.I.P king 🙏
Michael looked great physically and he danced and sang fantastic, so it is hard to believe that after 2 days of this excellent rehearsal, he was gone. The most talented artist of all times, the one and only MJ!
Michael just makes me feel at peace...most remarkable thing about him was his aura. We need it in this world but gosh is it tough for people like him to live without vultures always circling.
he was quite emaciated and unwell during this period but what’s amazing is that his rhythm and flexibility is still ALL THERE. It’s very surprising. Most dancers lose a the limberness over time his looks like the same as when he was a younger man. He was rehearsing here and not giving his all but the feeling in his dance is intact. A shame we didn’t get to see these concerts. RIP MJ.
He casually dancing and saving the best for his fans. Even in his 50s even though medical condition he was dealing with, no one can come either close to this Legend.
Don’t forget that he sold out 50 shows in London at the age of 50 after all the allegations, rumors and an almost 10 year break. That’s what I call a star
Rumours and allegations without no proof proves he's being framed.

You can see here that even though he is not anywhere near full flight, he had lost nothing at 50. If anything he even commands even more authority on the stage. His talent was unsurpassed……
he wasn’t giving it his best because michael was known to not give it his best during rehearsals, i’m not saying that’s the only reason (he probably hadn’t done this in a while) but michael usually didn’t give it the best in rehearsals but absolutely killed it in shows
and because you can see that he was trying something new and here you can see new moves too. and at the end michael is saying "at least we get a feel of it" so it's normal that Michael didn't dance at his fullest to save his energy and suprise everybody with new moves
50 year old man dancing like 25
Michael Jackson
if you think that it was just rehearsals and he is dancing as well as if the real show would have been amazing
@@nielmjj1514 😞true
Yes 😍😍😍
Because He is a King Of Pop
00:00 - 06:30 best part 😉🎶🌱🌹👍
My favourite song 💕🎶😙
RIP🕊️
And here I was about to click!
I love how he was taking it easy and just rehearsing till 3:05 and just couldn't resist doing that move.
That's his signature. Definitely couldn't resist that.
At 4:27 he killed it!!!
Mike was really getting into it!
3:08 this move, to me, sums up perfectly MJ's style of dance. Simple, yet so hard to pull off.
Ankle breaker, i can do it
Dungamusica
Exactly. That is our MJ.
@@kevintww4038 Well done
Since I've already broken my ankle twice can u tell me how to do it?
@@areyouscaredyet8492 he probably did it in his dreams
4:56 is the actual last ever moonwalk
😭😭😭😭😭😭
👑 King Of Pop
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
@Madafal Lizard this was June 24😑😑😑
@Madafal Lizard how would you know
@Madafal Lizard he wear the same stuff as
No one can be like Micheal Jackson
This is my favorite music artist of all time.
His body never forgot the moves, amazing muscle memory. The way the press described him, he was hobbling across the stage with a walker and barely knew where he was. The actual footage shows him hyper-aware of music cues, song pitch, choreography, and direction. I think he pulled a Willie Wonka. The rehearsal is spellbinding. The live show would have blown the roof off.
he was being coached in his war piece. at one stage he was talking to himself too.
Kenny Ortega was deeply worried. he had no genuine Rem for two month and that was the cause of most issues
+McQueenPress With "he pulled a Willie Wonka" do you mean that he hired a lookalike to dance at his place? Sorry to bother, but I'm Italian and also I never watched that movie about chocolate, hence that expression meaning is not clear for me. Thank you in advance to want clarifying. :)
Gene Wilder, as Willie Wonka played a trick when meeting guests to the Chocolate Factory. He pretended to be an ill, infirm, barely functional arthritic man who used a cane to walk. Then, SURPRISE! He tucks and rolls across the floor and jumps up healthy and vigorous. I believe he did it to lower expectations, then far exceed expectations.
+McQueenPress A_haa. Now I see. Thank you very much, milady. :)
Basically it's the only movie starring Mr. Wilder that I never watched (I don't like much the genre, in fact I didn't watch the remake with Johnny Depp either).
Exactly. What an excellent point!
4:17 "you know what you did to me baby" favorite part of this rehearsal
This man didn’t need rehearsals. He could’ve launched the tour the day he announced it
I felt overwhelmed with emotions watching this. A small part of me will never accept that Michal is gone.
Billie Jean was special for Michael. he fought with Quincy Jones to put that song in the Album.
little did he know that this is his last performance of the legendary song which put him into mega stardom orbit
Subhan's Vault That ((Billie Jean)) could be closest to his heart, that's y it magically raised the legend to the peak. Nd ended him with his last performance with Billie Jean.
The destiny...
Little did he know that he was going to die he said many times "They are going to kill me" i'm sure he knew that was his last performance of Billie jean it Sucks tho.
The final moonwalk
Subhan's Vault The Earth Song was his last
Subhan's Vault his very LAST ever performance he did was Earth Song in This is it
@4:34 MJ missed out the line "You know what you did". He realizes it and claps so forcefully to make sure to be more aware and more present. Look at his face while he claps. Pure frustration. He was forgetting lyrics.
The vocals are edited in to the video. He was clapping cause he was feeling the beat.
The vocals are fake, they are overdubbed with prerecorded vocals from other sessions and you should know this by now if you have watched the full this is it movie and news articles about it.
Legend's never die....🔥♥️
I watched Moonwalker and This is it right after Moonwalker yesterday. This man is insane even when he was 50 years old. I love you Michael Jackson, you have persuaded me to sing and dance. I have completed dancing and singing to Billie Jean and Smooth Criminal. I started dancing and singing to Man in the mirror. Michael Jackson is introduced me into the Music Industry and it is very fun dancing and singing to his songs. Michael, you have sadly passed away, but your music will never die. R.I.P. to my dancing and introding god, you will always be missed. 1958-2009 💔💔💔
I take it you haven't seen his other film ghost he does more dancing in that one compared to moonwalker but moonwalker was better
It’s really sad because if it weren’t for the 2003 allegations, he would’ve made more albums, he would have probably lived to do this tour, and I think he would’ve died at an older age. He was actually working on a new album when the allegations surfaced and he stopped working on it because of them. He is one of the few artists who never lost their talent with age.
hard to say if he would have toured. part of the reason is he needed money after all the lawyers
He would've physically died from doing over 50 tours, almost everyone actually wanted him to stop at one point. I forgot what he said tho.
@@ChillBell This is what I keep saying. I do not understand the people who say he was healthy here. HE CLEARLY WASN’T! As a MJ fan of 14 years, it was clear he didn’t wanna do this anymore, and was way too ill to continue it. His death basically spared him, as horrible as it sounds.
@@TheHauntedMansionArchive I ve been a fan of his for almost 30 years now. Michael was unwell, but his talent was god given and something we won’t see again for a few generations.
When I look at Michael performing it’s much like I feel someone watching a Beethoven or Tchaikovsky performance would have felt. A master at his craft.
@@AmericanNope His talent was indeed god given. I've grown up watching Michael, always in awe on how he does his dance moves. I'm sad I only got 3 years with him, but I atleast was alive when he was.
5:59 come on Mike 😏❤️🔥👑
😏
😏
MJ is an unparalleled phenomenon. There is no greater entertainer. He did what he was born to do and dedicated himself to it wholly. I'm so grateful.
When your walk-through rehearsal is more mindblowing than other artist's performances 👑
Facts! 💯🔥💪
Yes! That’s why Michael Jackson will forever be the greatest performer of all time!
When I listen someone saying that Michael Jackson is dead I always cry because he is alive in our hearts ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ who agree
He will always in my 💖 & My HERO who Inspires me every damn day.👉👑
Michael Jackson King Of Pop always
Yes
Me
Everyone agrees
No matter HOW old he was HOW skinny he was he still had the
-passion
-love
- energy
TO dance and sing with his WHOLE passion and love :)
Michael Jackson
1958-forever :)
Dungamusica
Greatest performer ever
His name will never die
He was the best the world had ever seen..
"Breaking my heart now"
-Michael Jackson
This was only the rehearsals can you imagine the live performance ? We miss you MJ ❤
As tragic as it is that he died young, I am grateful this footage is available to his fans!
#5:17 the last dance of the most legendary song of all time
The first dance of billie jean was the most epic moment in music history thank you Michael
This guy is music, he is so effortless it is unreal.
He was 50 years old, but he danced like he never aged.
시대를 뛰어넘는 대단한 아티스트....
MJ를 뛰어 넘는 아티스트는 앞으로도 전무후무 할 것이며 우리는 그를 영원히 기억하고 사랑 할 것이다!
this would've been such an awesome tour :(
not a tour, This is It was just an event.
+kristheblack 617 oh, sorry. I mistakened it for the Michael Jackson's One concert.
He would have never made it. 50 shows? With the health problems he had?
Plus, I've heard that initially he agreed on 10, no idea how from then it came to 50
He agreed to do only 10. He only did this because he wanted to buy the 55million dollar house for his children and his guards weren't getting paid unless he signed to do this. I'm so sad. Michael was only human and he wasn't treated like one.
@@victoiremvl I heard he was infuriated when they jacked it up to 50 shows. But he was in financial ruin, so 10 shows wouldn't have been enough to cover him financially. AEG even had to threatened him saying that he would lose everything if he pulled the plug on the tour, because he already wasn't showing up to rehearsals. His son Prince claimed that he would constantly tell him "they're going to kill me" on many occasions..He would show up to rehearsals with layers of clothes because he would be ice cold due to the drugs and lack of proper sleep
4:48 before i moonwalk let me just comb my hair
He had a mirror too! Lol
Smooth!
His music lives on,this man was extraordinary. It's 2022 and his songs are still going strong
Y por todos los siglos amén.
2023 now he's still one of the most top streamed artist
His songs and moves will go on till forever
Truly, the King of Pop.
3:06 being a classic move! He was a performer and he wanted to show those young ones that he could do it!
Lewis Curtis I can do it
I think that move is MJ's one of the best and coolest looking and moonwalk ofc
Jeremy MJ Yeah. It's my favorite
Lewis Curtis what that move called
Lewis Curtis rock with you legs
At 4:38 he really sounded young,just like he did when he very first sang this song.
R.I.P Michael!!!!!
It was the Billie Jean demo lmao
kaidadu89 no because theres always a line sumg before that one. "You know what you did" and then "breaking my heart babe" except he said now not babe
That line give me gosebumps, it is stil so amazing to listen to, he sound like his best days ! and was live for sure !!
michaels voice never changed lmao xD
Not live... how can you people be so easily fooled? Very gullible. It's the demo vocals for the majority of this rehearsal with live ad libs mixed in. That line you mentioned was from the demo.
it makes me cry
Me too, man. Imagine being one of these dancers to watch The King doing his final Billie Jean performance.
2022-♾🤴🏻⚜️ king of pop forever🕴🏼🇩🇴🇺🇸
3:24 that smooth step....😍
What
I know how he was saving his energy, which is why I found it funny and enjoyable that at certain points he couldn't resist putting lots of effort in like at 3:06
He hit that move perfectly!!! :D
He really was too good for this world we will miss him forever 😢
For a minute I thought his singing was all playback, but when he did the cut-offs it was all live vocals. Goodness, his vocal's sounded like the original version!
He was also singing some of the unused lyrics from the Billie Jean demo too, so it was all him. Dude was a boss.
Keep in mind he was 50 and at his most frail in here. He was a force of nature.
5:57 Shamone Michael!😍
Dunga
@@DungaMarcioRoberto indeed
The fact that his voice never changed is amazing
Because he was chemically castrated
Nah it changed alot tbh
his voice got better with age.

All of the time...
Alright, i see, alright
All of the time

She told me i was a lonely man and i felt sad, she called my name and you said hello, all them who died
And i sit in a cup in a ride.
Billie jean demo 1981
Fabio Alberto García Zúñiga ?
Yeh thats it. Some of the audio in this performance was playback from done by sony. Dunno y
@@aksfootytube8966 u can still see his lips he really did sing that demo in order to add libs
He has a sharp mind
God bless Michael, missed him.
Michael Jackson con 50 años y cantando y haciendo su coreografía!! ÚNICO!!! Podran imitarlo pero nunca igualarlo!! Por Siempre Michael!! 😢👏👏👏👏👏❤️
I had no idea wht you said but I love it❤
@@iannilsen6944 He said Michael on his 50s singing and dancing is just unique, none will beat him, never!
He's the biggest artist in the world. Forever he will be in our hearts♥️♥️♥️♥️😘
Guys! He was 50 years old!
AND STILL HAD IT :D
+Lauren Faerber he had half of it seriously what the hell were those moves look at dangerous tour rehearsals he's smooth as hell looks like he's gonna fall over here
+Scott Wilson it's a rehearsal lol
nope 60
ilj274 He is todays best artist even he's dead
You were, are, and will always be a star Michael! There's no one like you and, never will there be anybody like you . You're still alive in our hearts and souls. You were and still are the Greatest entertainer of ALL TIMES.
We love you and miss you. R.I.P king 🙏
Супер Майкл, мурашки ,В 50 лет! Нет Тебе равных! Мы Тебя обожаем,и любуемся табой,какой же ты классный!
Michael looked great physically and he danced and sang fantastic, so it is hard to believe that after 2 days of this excellent rehearsal, he was gone. The most talented artist of all times, the one and only MJ!
But mentally he was probably drained and needed like a weeks worth of rest and sleep
he is a real legend
When I was 4: I love Michael Jackson
Nowadays (17 years old): I love Michael Jackson
I will never stop loving, never, never!!! ~❤
Same ✌️👑
And I am 8 year old Indian and I like Michael Jackson
Dungamusica
Dunga
Same 😭
can't imagine what it must have been like to be a person working on that show... the joy, and then the devastation.
Michael just makes me feel at peace...most remarkable thing about him was his aura. We need it in this world but gosh is it tough for people like him to live without vultures always circling.
he was quite emaciated and unwell during this period but what’s amazing is that his rhythm and flexibility is still ALL THERE. It’s very surprising. Most dancers lose a the limberness over time his looks like the same as when he was a younger man.
He was rehearsing here and not giving his all but the feeling in his dance is intact. A shame we didn’t get to see these concerts. RIP MJ.
Well said 💯💯💯💯💯💯
Long Live the King of Music
reggie felder no.. he is the King Of Music, he is still here through his legacy
Even though many say this is a weak performance compared to his others, this has the best Rock With You legs he has ever done 3:06
Yeah
Yeah
He casually dancing and saving the best for his fans. Even in his 50s even though medical condition he was dealing with, no one can come either close to this Legend.
I’d love to have seen him live once . I was 11 when he passed away sadly. I remember it like it was yesterday.
