Shake Your Body Down to the Ground-Yokohama
I know. It looks so spontaneous but I was watching their performances on American Bandstand, Victory, etc. and the choreography is the same. A few years ago I watched an interview with Marlon when he talked about them creating the choreography for that and they call that section "shovel the funk."I admit from that aspect the 1987 Shake Your Body is questionable as well. I just had to mention those body waves. LOL. Though I have seen Justin Timberlake emulate that group dance @4:29 in his concerts, so I guess we can call that a choreography as well.
I definitely agree with your take on his jaunty walk-crazy sexy. But yes, all those million audience shots etc. is why I don't like to watch the Dangerous tour.One thing though, I wish directors would just have the confidence to have a camera point at him without having to switch angles all the time. It's just so distracting. They think they need to keep switching things about to hold our interest, but we're watching the greatest performer of all time - we don't need to be zooming right in and then so far back out that he's just a dot on the stage! And in Yokohama, we almost see more of the audience than MJ, at the MTV Awards they cut off his feet for most of Dangerous.
Sorry I just had to get that off my chest!
