It's almost like it has been done before.
Yeah, not trying to sound negative here just stating how I really feel but this footage is basically all I want to see and most of the rest of the doc may as well not exist lol. I get this is for general audiences but it really wouldn't take much for them to release full interviews and footage etc.
thanks for the tag
I have to promise myself not to look at any more clips. I want to have something to look forward to next month 
) who isn’t concerned with concert footage. I just don’t enjoy live music. I’m so used to the studio versions. Michael looks angry and sounds aggressive singing a song that is supposed to be tender (‘human nature’). the ‘victory’ tour is getting its own documentary anyway.oh, I am so sorry! I didn't stop to think. My bad. If any more clips crop up I promise I won't tag you.thanks for the tag
once again, it’s michael’s own words that are the highlight for me. his ambition and belief in himself is inspiring. I wonder if this comes from the audiotapes of his autobiography? he began working on it during the making of the ‘thriller’ short film.
I go both ways on this. I started going to gigs quite early on so very quickly got used to the difference in sound when a singer is live. And I love the excitement and energy of a live performance. Otoh, if an album is re-released and they change the mixing too much I get annoyed. I want it to sound the way it did when it first came out. Otherwise, why bother? I don't even like album versions of songs, usually. I prefer shorter radio edits.I’m probably the only one (wouldn’t be the first time
I can understand why people don't like that too much. I love it, I love the fact that he looks so fierce. I don't like the reason *why* he looks so angry - presumably it's to do with being pushed into doing the tour when he didn't even want to. I don't like that aspect of it AT ALL. But, for the performance, it works really well for me. I have many different interpretations for HN so it doesn't feel weird to me.
Fair point.
You're a better person than me, lol. There's a few more bits that I would like.
This. SO much this!
I mean, it's not that hard to see some stuff if you just pull your head out your arse.
Oh is that kind of an unofficial official video for the Man then?
Yeah. Macca has a series of re-releases of all his studio albums (Wings and solo) that started in 2010. When the time came for Pipes of Peace, the bonus DVD for it had a video montage for the song with footage of MJ at Paul and Linda's ranch in 1981/82.
Right? Paul decided to bring some unseen goodies to the light and it's great.
Precisely this. MJ would perform each song the exact same way for every tour, and it becomes boring once you’ve watched it dozens of times. Sure, later performances of “Human Nature” have extra dancing throughout, but that barely qualifies as a change. If you see him sing it once, you’ve seen all you’re ever gonna see.
Now y'all are seeing my point. I've been saying this on here for years now lol
Never in my life thought about that but it's actually hard not to sing that song with that face. I've tried it. It's not the entire song in a frown though lol. I feel
I'm guessing because Paul owns the rights to that song & footage he could use it? Or maybe him & the estate are just cool like that
It's something about those synthesizers & the drums...I hate them! I'm not sure if they were all electric or what & that God awful snare on EVERY SONG! I can hear it in my head right now lol. The only times the drums sounded ok was during Jermaine session & ib think the reason is because jermaine probably used the exact drums on his albums. I'll never understand how mj went from quality Quincy to the way the victory tour instruments sounded. Maybe the bros out voted him on it
For sure! But there are times when I can’t help but wonder how much more replay value his shows would have if there was some differentiation. That’s one of the reasons I loved the Broadway show so much; songs like “Smooth Criminal,” “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’,” and “Thriller” were given fresh and interesting interpretations, rather than the rinse-and-repeat method MJ stuck to. Of course the original recipe is classic for a reason, but when you’ve tasted the same dish hundreds of times, it’s hard to not get excited when some new flavors are brought into the mix.
Even Quincy has a tiktok
I understand that he’s literally the producer, but with how he’s talked about MJ and how he abandoned him in 2019, I find it rich that he’s suddenly back on the wagon.
Yeah, that's the main reason I want 1 offs like One Night Only.
