Ideal Set list?

michaeljojacksonfan said:

I think it is going to be very hard for MJ to make everyone happy because fans want to see both his classics (which he has SO many of) but also wants to see songs that he has never performed before.

Its gonna be a tough job for MJ to come with the perfect set list. Lets face it, fans are going to complain no matter what songs he chooses to sing.

Sounds pretty tight. I think it would end up being a bit too long. I heard somewhere that it was 2 hours? Maybe not though.

I would LOVE to hear:

Black or White (first song that got me into MJ)
Beat it
Billie Jean
You Rock My World
Unbreakable
Earth Song
Jam
Smooth Criminal
The Way You Make Me Feel
Wanna Be Startin' Something
Bad
And of course a few new songs

I know they are basically all classics but they are also my favourites!

I think he should play more of his past music. It will get less criticism as nobody knows what his new songs will sound like so they probably wont like it as much. Whereas the classics are well known so everybody will be dancing/singing to them.

-Can You Feel It
-You Rock My World
-Remember The Time (Amazing choreographed routine)
-Rock With You (Sung live)
-New Song (Sung live)
-Thriller
-Beat It
-Don't Stop Til You Get Enough
-The Lady In My Life (Sung live)
-A medley or cover of someone else; something he's never done before (A new Beatles cover, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, Floetry cover... the possibilities are endless. Imagine him singing "If I Was A Bird" or something)
-Black Or White
-Earth Song (Sung live)
-Bad
-Another Part Of Me
-You Are Not Alone (Sung live)
-Unbreakable
-I Want You Back (Sung Live)
-ABC (Sunge Live)
-The Love You Save (Sung live)
-I'll Be There (Sung live)
-Special Guest Song (JUST GOOD FRIENDS?????????? Scream? Would be great if Paul McCartney came out thus publicly burying any tension he may have)
-New Song
-Who Is It (Sung live)
-The Way You Make Me Feel
-Dirty Diana (Sung live)
-Billie Jean
-Man In The Mirror (ad-libs done live)/Show End

Since this is supposedly the last time he's touring in London, epic, two and a half - three-hour shows with a 25-30 song setlist should not be ruled out.

I dont expect to many songs were MJ has to sing AND Dance, except the usuals. MJ is nearly 51 years old. It wont be like Dangerous or even HIStory tours. I expect mroe songs like MITM, Who Is It, Give In To Me etc. Although I would love to be proved wrong.

[NEW Intro Montage & Onstage]

1. New song* (Dance track) - Neat choreography, and stage effects.
2. Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'.
3. Human Nature - Light effects, MJ disappears in the ending. This song can also be replaced with 'Lady In My Life'. Slow dance moves.
4. You Rock My World - Choreography, especially in breakdown of song.

[Interlude #1: Montage of Jackson 5 days]

5. J5 Medley Live (Includes "I Want You Back", "The Love You Save", and "I'll Be There").
6. Heartbreak Hotel Live. :bugeyed
7. State Of Shock Live - Don't know who would be singing with Michael though, hmm. But I do like this song, and would be neat to see it live, and Michael rockin' out.
[Smooth Criminal introduction with the people talking, and Michael's shadow appears on stage]
8. Smooth Criminal - In the ending Michael walks away after the back up dancers fall to the floor, lol you know the routine.

[Interlude #2: Montage of videos "Ghosts" and "Thriller", to beginning music of 'Is It Scary']

9. Is It Scary/Thriller Medley - Short version of "Is It Scary" performed, Michael in spotlight, fog comes out. Then lights flicker out, and "Thriller" starts (imagine the loud door creaking in the dark! o_o), laser lights, zombie dancers in audience creep out and head toward stage, their attire is glowing, lol. As usually 'Thriller' ends with a magic trick, where MJ disappears.
10. Beat It - Michael appears on top of whatever that machine thingy is called. And so on.
11. Billie Jean - Walk out with the luggage, like in MSG. Ad libs Live. Freestyle at the end as usual.
12. Scream/Unbreakable Medley - Scream music video plays at the 'screaming part', and MJ appears on stage. Choreography with back ups.
13. Butterflies Live - Let's keep it slow now, with this song. ;]
14. Stranger in Moscow - Music video, along with footage of fans from around the world shown in background on the screen while he performs, and dances. Imagine the audience with swaying lights and their hands in the air.

[Interlude #3: This Is It Teaser]

15. Black Or White - Begins with video, and so forth. Guest guitarist on some dates could be with Slash.
16. Earth Song - Shown video of the Earth, and other casualites on the screen with the beginning music of ES. Michael then performs.. and in then chorus comes in when he gets to last few verses; stage effects, and lighting.
**[Brief talking to audience, and introduces next song]
17. New song* - Probably the song rumored to be dedicated to the fans.
18. Man In the Mirror Live - Stage lights fade on, and of course Michael is on the microphone snapping his fingers. Finale is full of energy, and ends in a explosion. Short ILY & good-bye message to fans.


:lol: Yeaah... I was bored.. so I added in details, so what?
