I just revisited this performance in on Utube. ANd its really powerful. Even tho the song is lip synced, MJ put his heart and SOUL into it. And u can tell he was really emotional. Like when he forgot about lip singing all together and just SCREAMED on top of the traack during the "whoo! Whoo!" part. I could FEEL that. And the amaaaazing adlibs at the end! "WHAT! about it!" It was really powerful. If you look at Seal's face in the audience during that part :lol: u can tell he was thinkin "is he alRIGHT?" Cuz MJ was so INTO it. He was totally in a ZONE.

When i look at this one, I knew that peeps were trippin about it cuz he looked like he was trying to be Jesus. (apparently taht random dude that got on stage and shook his booty at the audience and lifted his shirt at the camera was protesting it :huh: :tongueSo i decided to take a second look, to see if any interpretations could be made. But no matter how hard tried...when he took off his clothes wearing all white...the mannerisms...its really jarring. ANd I don't think he has a jesus complex or anything, but there are interpretations to made of it. And i just wanted opinions on it. From what i see, obviously there's some metaphors or something symbolic to come out of that performance.

When the bridge came down i had NO IDEA that it was that serious. And whats so amazing about this performance is how MJ PLAYS it off sooo well. I read Karen Faye's note about her reaction at this performance and i just had no idea, that the bridge fell that fast and that hard, cuz on camera it didn't seem fast at all. Apparently after the show, mj collapsed cuz his back was in so much pain and apparently MJ still suffers from it to this day. But u couldnt tell AT ALL the way the performance went! MJ went on like NOTHING happened. Karen told him backstage that he needed to go to a hospital but MJ refused vehemently cuz he didn't want to disappoint the audience. THAT is a performer right there, for REAL.
So those were my observations! That's all lol
