This leaked quite recently. What happened was there was an error in the playback so Michael took the initiative and sang pretty much the whole song live.
I don’t know if this makes sense but I think the songs on Invincible are solid on their own, but it just doesn’t work well as an album.
Maybe I’m biased though because for me, Michael could sing the most basic melody with the most basic lyrics and I’d still get something out of it. I mean...
All of these Top of the Pops performances are live vocals. I don’t disagree though. A lot of the time, when singles were promoted, they were lipsynced. American Bandstand and Soul Train are the go-to examples for this.
The microphone thing is a good point. But here’s why I still find it hard to believe. This is the J5’s national TV debut where they’re obviously lipsyncing “I Want You Back”. This would have been Michael’s first time lipsyncing and you can tell he’s very awkward about it. His head is moving...
There are two Ed Sullivan show performances. One in 1969 and one in 1970. So I don’t fully know which one you’re referring to but I can answer for both. 1969 is live on all songs. If anything is lipsynced, it’s possible the brothers’ backing vocals are. But Michael and Jermaine’s lead vocals are...
This is not an Estate project, but there was something that got me excited when it was announced back in the pre-COVID era of 2020. It was like a TV miniseries that was going to be about Michael’s touring band and every episode, they would have a celebrity interview them about Michael and then...
In my first years of being a fan, I would probably think to myself that I was in group 4, when objectively I probably wasn’t because I wasn’t really paying attention to the Motown/Jacksons stuff. But now I’d say I’m actually group 4 because since then, I’ve listened to every Jacksons album and...
I wouldn’t come to that conclusion. I think Music and Me was recorded like a usual album but by the time it came out, his voice had already changed from when he recorded those songs.
