Michael Jackson's live performances will always be one of the controversal parts, that people will discuss again and again. But there is one thing about live performaces, that I still can't understand. Why Michael never performed during tours his 5 really strong songs. Yes, I'm talking about The Lady In My Life, Liberian Girl, Remember The Time, Morphine and Whatever Happens...
Okay, with Whatever Happens everything is pretty clear: song did not become, what it had to become, because of problems with Invincible album....That's why MJ did not see any perpsective to perform it during 2001 anyversary or This Is It tour. But what about legendary Remember The Time??!! First of all, this song is a SINGLE. Secondly, it has it's own MINI FILM. Thirdly, and most importantly, it had it's own CHOREOGRAPHY! What the actual f...???!! This song was really popular during Dangerous Era! Moreover, there are a lot of fans, considering this song as one of the best MJ songs! I am the one of people, who truly believe that Remember The Time is the MJ's best song! Song is perfect. MJ knew that. He rehearsed it during Dangerous Tour rehearsals! He performed it during small 1993 performance, when his leg was broken. But what happend then? I mean, why he denied to perform it during Dangerous Tour? Moreover, there was History tour, a lot of performances during Invincible Era, This Is It tour and still RTT have never been included.... Why!? I mean, this is insanity! Every MJ album gave to the world songs, that become MJ classic. OFT gave us DSTYGE, RWY, OFT. Thriller gave us BJ, Thriller, WBSS, Beat It. Bad gave us SC, MIM, APOM. Dangerous gave us HTW, BOW, RTT... I remind you, that MJ was awarded many times because of this particular song... And then MJ just throw away RTT song, like it was nothing...? I don't belive it. There gotta be something with rights... or maybe label forced him to reject this song....
Same thing about brillian Liberian Girl. It's a single with promo video. But again, no live performences! NO LIVE PERFOMACES?? Is it a joke??? Perfect song with enromous ponential for live performances. And everything throwed away... like a trash....
And what about Morphine?? MJ rehearsed it and planned to perform live.... And again, without any logical explanation denied to perform it?!
The Lady In My Life other precious MJ ballad. Yep it's not a single, but song won a lot of awards, just like RTT. It's one of the best MJ song. Still, no live performances....
I know, maybe the reason behind all of this is lack of popularity of these song... But i really doubt, that song like Jam (which was performed on all Dangerous Tour and included in TII) was more popular than RTT or LG....
