I think it should be released in Theaters, it is Michael's most visually enticing tour and i think it holds great entertainment value.

Visually I think his most enticing tour was Dangerous. You could see that from space
HIStory Tour was a masterclass of dance, everything was so precise
And BAD Tour was a masterclass of dance AND live vocals

Bravo! I agree with this statement 100%. It's about entertainment. Not just about vocal abilities and live singing. If people want that they can go to opera or Adele concert. If the want to be entertained for 2 hours they go to cinema. Batman, Superman, Spiderman & The Avengers proves that. Those movies made billions because they are entertaining. Nobody questioned if they are really superheroes or they just pretended to be ones.
Also it will not be live show. It will be a cinema spectacle. In 3D!
Also for the people who talk about lip syncing all the time: Do you guys know that music videos/short films are also lip synched? Are you watching MJ videos or are you against them also because they are not live vocals?
HIStory Tour (and many other MJ performances) were visual spectacles, pure entertainment not Mariah Carey concerts where people sit on their chairs and admire how can she hit those high notes. This is MJ show - that's how he was doing it. Deal with it. If he wanted to stand on the stage and sing live - he could have done that. But he decided not to, he decided to give the fans the best 2 hours of their lives (at least what he thought would be the best 2 hours of their life). It's part of HIS story and significant part of history that should be celebrated, not ashamed of!

Vocals at it's peak in 1987/88' but his dancing peak was in the mid 1990's.
There's no need to ignore Michael's talents as a vocalist just to make HIStory Tour look better. His singing is just as important as his dancing
I haven't watched this all the way through in a long time. Is that last bit lip synched? It doesn't seem to be.How can anyone watch something like this and not cringe?
This is embarrassing
Yeah, but it was his decision to "ignore it". Not mine or yours. Accept it and move on. You can't change history.
Or....if you want to see someone who just performs & doesn't sing then go and see Britney Spears.
Live vocals, not vocals in general in my opinion. His vocals became better and better with age in my opinion. He sounded brilliant on Invincible and Invincible outtakes. He prefered not to sing live because of the dancing and complex choreography but imagine if he stand on the stage like he's standing in the vocal booth and killed it. Don't forget that HIStory Tour was 1997 and Blue Gansgsta is 1998. His voice was probably just as great on HIStory Tour (while he was not sick of course).

I think everybody who went to and remembers the spectacle and magic of the HIStory tour want it but I don't think what they remember will come across on the big screen.
Live theatre and film are such totally different mediums. What works great on stage doesn't just automatically transfer over to film.
That doesn't mean that it would be released to cinemas
Thanks. That's the part I was asking about. That sounded great.The lip syncing is beyond obvious. Especially when the live vocals come in at 4:48

Just because you want to see it is very selfish IMO. People need to look at the bigger picture. Like how will this effect Michael's reputation as a live act. It's not always about what we want. It's about what's best for Michael
People will come away from it thinking he's a good dancer (but who doesn't already know that?) but they'll tear him to shreads because of the lip syncing
How can you even compare album vocals to live vocals?
Also, you just admitted that Michael was sick during the HIStory Tour.
Wouldn't you rather a tour where he was healthy and at his best?

You're comparing music videos to a live performance? This has to be the weakest argument I've ever heard
Yeah, but not for full year and a half (September 7, 1996 - October 15, 1997). That is bullsh*t. He just prefered not to sing live because he knew that he's not that young anymore to do both singing and dancing at the same time and sound as perfect as he did when he was 20 or 25.
Was he sick during Smooth Criminal and Man In The Mirror every single night during the Bad Tour? Was he sick during Jam, Will You Be There, Black Or White & Man In The Mirror every single night during the Dangerous Tour? Was he sick during Motown 25 Billie Jean performance? Was he sick during every single TV performance he ever did? Was he sick during solo part of 30th anniversary show? How about during Superbowl? The list goes on.. It's just the way he prefered to do it in the 90's and even in the '80 sometimes.
I would rather blu-ray and HD quality material played in the cinemas over 25 years old very poor quality cartoon-like VHS played anywhere. As it's been said million times, they obviously don't have other shows or other tours in such quality.
