One thing that is clear is that his timing and spatial awareness were both impeccable. It's not a knock to any of the big pop acts that have come in his wake, but while some of them form v good choreo (Gaga etc) everyone has other dancers with them, what set MJ apart was his supreme presence and the electricity he had on stage alone, literally just vibing like we all do w ourselves at home and it took him to the top of the mountain.
Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls this right here is what you call a concert. Listen everyone there will never be a talent like this in my lifetime or my future kids and their kids lifetime. Michael Jackson was special and one of a kind. Love ya Mike. Rest in peace and in paradise. We got your back and when they try to defame you we will push back and set the facts.
Micheal moves match the beats and so freaking perfect ..love his outfit. Love that little jump he did. Cant stop watching MJ,Eddie,Dominic,Levelle,Randy.....never will I get tired
Such a talent! The way he communicated the smoke issue was so professional and managed to keep singing and dancing. I love the pre-lean versions because I love that dance routine they do here a lot. Growing up I only saw him in videos and occasional magazines and yet all of my friends and I dressed like him and enjoyed his music and dancing so much. I am so grateful to see videos like this.
We lost the greatest king of all time. Long live the King in generations to come. There will only be 1 Michael Jackson and the only phenomenon to ever dance into our hearts and soul.
It’s interesting bc it was all the same person but there was the clear divide between his off and on stage persona, I mean like if it was off stage he might be like “oh but um like it’s a lil too much smoke if you could just turn it down a lil bit ok thank you very much appreciated ily !!”
ZR Lol because he’s already performing here live it’s the tour itself already not the rehearsal where he can be relaxed, he was already performing and giving it his all and the energetic that comes out of him when it’s the real performance already, and he’s kind of a perfectionist when it comes to the live stage already.
@@gradybaby_kv I think actually he was most relaxed when performing live, he always said that he never felt like he could be himself fully around people and was v socially awkward, so he had this polite guard he put up, but many people who knew him away from cameras said his persona was more forceful and direct,
smoke/lights are not a stage manager competence, and MJ like any big artist has their men in any position. it's not like lights and smoke machines were managed from locals. they also rehearsal and try the equipment from the morning or the day before with such big shows. but maybe in the 80s it was less professional, considering it's Italy. I I guess a production like this must have been hell. 😂
It as all playback up until 4:22 MJ signals the sound mixer to turn his mic on , you can hear him test it at 4:25 At 4:33 he signals he cant hear himself and to turn the PA up out in the audience... He does this all while staying in choreography...
Just to answer the number 1 question at 4:23 when he raises his hand Michael sings live the first 4 mins in limp sync only from the part when he gives the signal to the stage crew his mic in unmuted and Michael sings (live). Notice how in the other bad tour smooth criminal performance he also raises his hand at the same time it’s to tell the crew to unmute his mic th-cam.com/video/dTXcBo86pz4/w-d-xo.html
Look at those moves from mj,eddie,dominic,levelle,randy so perfect the best love them so much. Bad smooth crimnal and the Dangerous tour with jamie,eddie,randy,levelle was my fave Smooth Criminal on stage. Look at those moves !!!!!!Love Mj and his dancers
2:36 This is part playback and part live. Do you hear Michael's voice underneath the playback when he says "you've been Struck by" in the part of "you've been hit by x2"
Through most of the Bad Tour, Smooth Criminal was half play back and half live vocals. For example in the Wembley concert, he sings the choruses and “you’ve been hit by” bridge completely live. He only lipsyncs the areas of the song that contain lots of choreography. However in shows like NYC he sings the whole song live, along with TWYMMF :)
Annie stai bene? Ci dirai, se stai bene? Si sentiva un rumore dalla finestra screscere Annie. C' era una macchia di sangue sul tappeto. Era nel tua stanza da letto, la porta era bloccata, era il tuo destino. Annie stai bene? Stai bene? Stai bene Annie? Sei stata colpita, sei stata rintracciata, da un abile criminale. I LOVE MY COUNTRY
From the 1950's through the 1990's American culture was on a destinational trajectory toward an awakening slow burning and riding the wave of the post WW2 promises and realization when it hit it's peak right up to and right before the year 2001. Everything seemed destined and was in sync, it all made sense, it was all understood and injected a cutting edge on its own and people were aware and mocked manipulation.
@@joshdaboss2365 he sang all of the bad tour live he didn’t used playback back then he started using playback when he got sick of laringitis and the live singing was causing him some straining in his voice but all of bad tour he sang live
@@Shamilscorner, no. The first leg and the US Leg of the 1988 was live. Then he started lip syncing Smooth Criminal, Way you make me feel, Bad and Man in the Mirror
question for anyone who comes back and watches these old videos from time to time, if you go to time mark @4:51 am i the only one who thinks he almost messed up but just snaped back in to the dance so smoothly, Who can blame him having to correct your crew while singing dancing can maybe take a toll over time lol
@@borklaser1 na he's talking abt the fact that michael forgot to lift his leg up at certain part. you'll see what im talking abt if u watch the smooth criminal performances. still the goat tho
mj had the best concerts ever. legend. so iconic.. best voice, best music, color change
Hold up...
Color change? Wtf, he had vitiligo and he looked quite better with black skin and without so much surgeries
Colour change? Nigga what
Y’all knew what he meant… the stage lights changing
3:59
Who else LOVES that dance break?
Me
Me. Lean is cool, but this is better.
it's so mesmerizing
Me💛
It’s my *F A V O R I T E*
5:42 my last brain cells during a math exam
*_🤣🤣🤣🤣 I fucking love you_*
More like 4:16 "I don't know"
😭
4:29 “too much smoke” I love how he corrects everyone’s mistakes even while performing. A true perfectionist. 💯
Literally, quick with it and got it done and still cracked the dance break in time lmao
4:28
The perfectionist gone too soon😢😢😢
"MUCH SMOKE"
no that is actually part of the song, and it doesnt mean too much smoke.
Italy: poisoning smooth criminals with smoke since 1988
4:49 he forgot his moves for a moment. Probably because he was telling about the smoke and got distracted.
I noticed that too but hey he's the king of poo played it off
@@rxy._.shaun2 THE KING OF POO???
nobody is as smooth as michael, i’ll tell you that much.

Can definitely hear him singing under the playback at some points
MJ was smooth... no pun intended.
This music is 💥💣
God his moves are so sharp here :D
Bad tour 1988 that era im 7 yrs old. Im not lucky to see him in live concert. My great inspiration one and only
My dad went to this concert.

Wow
The music has chilling vibes lol
4:28 too much smoke!!
Greatest entertainer ever!
He can perform while singing lung goals 😁😁

If you look at MJ’s shoes compared to the dancers is probably why they didn’t do it.
BADASS TOUR 🤜

When he said that it sounds cute
Yes
MJ 💟💙💟
Michael:mucho humo!😂😂❤ cutie pie😊
Dança muitoooo

Still untouchable
the 80s and 90s had such great music and now we are stuck with garbage
i mean, we have some good stuff, but the music back then was way better

the fact that people have the nerve to say this era is overrated is annoying

This really is the only live version on TH-cam. All the other ones from the Dangerous Tour and the History Tour are playback. Which I abhor.
Donnie Harden no, this one, Wembley, Tokyo and the others are only live at the end. The only live one available is NYC 1988
