I know there are many threads on Immortal world tour already were fans are reviewing the show but I think we need one were fans can be open about what they liked and didn't like about the show.
For starters I must say I am a huge Michael fan like all of us here and I really loved the show. I was afraid I wouldn't like it because I didn't like Thriller live at all. I was praying this would not be the same and I was pleasantly surprised. I really felt they studied Michael's work and life and this came across throughout the show. I kept thinking how much Michael would have loved to have seen this. I have to admit as we all should that my opinion of the show is completely biased as I would have loved it if the just played any Michael Jackson concert start to finish on the big screen or even just his music videos and my favourite part of the show was I'll be there, just Michael performing that's all I need.
After the show I read some reviews and was surprised how many bad ones there were but I also found myself agreeing with some of the criticism so I thought we should discuss what we didn't like about the show what could be changed to attract non Michael fans because this will be needed for the show to continue for the next few years and hopefully do another European tour.
1. The mime doesn't work well in an Arena the size of the O2 and the same can be said for some of the dancing. It is fine if you have good seats but for those at the back it just looks like he is standing still. Also the squeaky noises the mime was making were a little annoying and weren't needed.
2. There could/should have been more acrobatics.
