Michael Jackson Rehearsal Video

Knubje · 3 Jul 2009 at 11:15

I saw a brief clip of this on BBC news this morning before work, I need to watch the whole thing.

Although from 20seconds view opinion, it didn't look "all that and a bag of potato chips".
It looked a bit tired and a bit strained if I am honest. MJ doesn't look in the best of health and it seemed hugley lacking to his former self.

Fair play, the guy was 50, but even still there is just something not right with the performance from him. It loosk like the stress and everything leading up to these concerts could definatley been what finished him off.

looked pretty rubbish, He was slow with the moves and the bit with the guitarist looked more like a breather then anything else.

Underwhelming

It was a "rehearsal" guys! im sure he wasnt going for it big time, but on the other hand i dont think it could have compared to this...
oh yeah 2:44 is awesome, i know how its done but serously have to have strong calf muscles to pull your self back up!

Much like the paying 25 bucks a ticket to go to an event to commemorate his funeral, AND they will be selling the T-Shirts and other merch they made for the O2 concerts there too.

Can't get it to play in Opera, Chrome or IE8

Looking at the dancing in the 1992 Smooth criminal vid got me wondering. Can anyone be so agile, precise, athletic, etc, at fifty plus. Then I thought how old was Gene kelly in this clip? Then you can get back on topic.

I thought we had gone way past listening to tabloid rumours? Event is FREE.

I think MJs death is a perfect opportunity for a budding documentary maker to highlight how the media completely skews events to show it in a different light.

got goose bumps from watching that vid, such a shame

I have just watched the footage and feel sad because I feel he had a put a LOT of effort into this tour, maybe too much if it was indeed the schedule and work ethic building upto the tour which conceived to be apart of his downfall.

He could have came on stage, gone "Owww" and grabbed his nuts and the crowd would have gone home happy.

INSTEAD, it looks like he was trying to deliver a performance which was out of this world.

A true entertainer and one of the type I feel we will never see again which is sad.
