to me, he doesn’t look healthy and in great shape. at one point, he seemed to lose his balance a bit. reminded me of britney during that performance when she was messed up. you can tell he’s not healthy and WHY everyone is going on about how great this is and how great the show would have been… like one previous entry… i agree w/ them.. i think a lot of ppl are living in denial. he’s barely moving on stage and looks/seems exhausted to me. he isn’t running around, like he used to, doesn’t have that umphh that i’ve seen before (been to a concert years ago)… i’d bet he wouldn’t have finished them… exhaustion would have taken over if he hadn’t died… or … he would have continued w/ all the junk and died during.

Trent, I always thought it was Steve Stevens on the Dirty Diana track and video. It says so on his Wikipedia page.

Anyway, this is sad to watch. He definitely still had it, he died much too young.

@Michelle — No one ever admits to lipsyncing, of course they’re gonna say he sang live. Even Britney claims to sing live.

@Michelle

I find to defend a lot of artists i like when they lip-synch. But i can also admit that they do, do it.

Michael Jackson has an amazing voice. HAS an amazing voice. But he was an even greater dancer and entertainer. From what i believe, he only started to lip-synch his concerts during the HIStory Tour. He probably had lip-synched in previous tours during only certain songs (he did state Billy Jean was a tough performance and impossible to sing live, dance great and sound great hence why he would usually lip-synch most parts).

But during the HIStory Tour he was suffering from a throat infection or some sort of throat virus. So he lip-synched basically every song except around 5 or 6 which were mainly his biggest hits i think.

I have reason he would have done the same with THIS IS IT Tour. Sing majority of his main hits live or partially live. But i do believe his, “Aoh!” and high pitch screams were live. They at least sound it in videos of HIStory Tour and other performances.

Either way, R.I.P. Michael Jackson. Let’s hope we can move on and celebrate your amazing life and the way you inspired manys and will continue to do so. The greatest entertainer of all time, the King of Music. Lets move on from rumours, previous bad encounters and celebrate who you are, Michael Jackson!

@ BLo and Trent – I was watching I think Anderson Cooper and the 4 men who were with him the night of that rehearsal all said that he was actually singing and not lip syncing during rehearsal, which leads me to believe that he planned to sing on the tour

I gotta say after watching the video it really truely is a shame that we lost Michael Jackson on the eve of what looked to be probably the most spectacular show of his life… besides being a little on the thin side, he looked great, moved great and sounded great in the video… and entertainer until the very end…

:( Oh my gosh that would have been such a fantastic concert… he’s still amazing and still riveting to watch. He still had it even after being away from the stage for so long.

Am I the only person who is not surprised he died?? … People are talking as if Michael was the picture of health until his death … Some form of denial has taken over … No, he’s not being sick or visibly dying in his last clips, but that is not a healthy person.
Victoria Beckham, Courtney Love are not healthy to me either, but we’ve just got too used to seeing celebrities looking frail and/or weird.
