Not sure what happened to the picture but this was the comment
“Really enjoyed how you explored and analysed MJ's voice throughout his life but just wanted to make a few points:
1. I don't think MJ's lack of dictation on some songs came from him struggling to sing high instead it was because he cared more about how he conveyed the song. MJ said that pronouncing the words soo precisely takes away from the feeling of the song so he sacrificed dictation for emotion.
2. Think MJ chose which songs he'd perform live based on popularity and how well they worked in a live performance rather than harmonies. As for Thriller that wasn't performed in 1984 as MJ didn't want to upset the Jehovah witnesses. Also starting with the Bad tour the harmonies would just come from the playback if MJ wasn't happy with them e.g. I Just Can't Stop Loving You.
3. Don't think MJ had nodules during the Victory tour but for some reason his voice in Toronto specifically was quite raspy but it's not an accurate representation of the whole tour. His vocals in earlier shows like East Rutherford or Kansas were smooth & at times sounded better than the Triumph tour e.g. in Lovely One, The Love You Save, She's Out Of My Life & Things I Do For You.
4. With Bad his voice still seemed connected when you listen to how he climbs up the scale to hit those D5s on The Way You Make Me Feel and Dirty Diana; there are more examples of his voice still being connected in the 90s such as Gone Too Soon, They Don't Care About Us and Wanna Be Startin Somethin in Rotterdam, Rome or Monza (July 6th) and even the 2000s such as Heartbreaker.
On Bad his voice did become more raspy which could be a sign of vocal damage but it might've been intentional to fit the style of the music given even on the song History he could still belt high notes without much of a rasp.
5. In terms of Bad having less brightness I think it's more to do with ageing (same thing happened from 1979 to 1982) given he was still singing between the release of Thriller & Bad; just 1 seminote (Eb5 to D5) isn't a big change tho and like Thriller there are still many notes where he belts into the 5th octave. The change from Bad to Dangerous is also probably due to ageing (as well as how demanding the Bad tour was); although interestingly on HIStory he belts into the 5th octave a lot more than he did on Dangerous.
6. At the start of the Bad tour e.g. Tokyo MJ's vocals were as high as they were on the Victory tour (he even sounded better than some Victory tour shows on some songs) but for most of 1988 his voice is much deeper which was probably due to him focusing more on dancing and being sick multiple times yet still doing 3 shows in a row multiple times which didn't allow his voice to heal. Also The Way You Make Me Feel was sung live during the first American leg of the Bad tour e.g. New York City.
7. The Dangerous tour was also mostly live (around 65% live in 1992 and around 50% live in 1993). The reason for the playback was that MJ wanted the vocals to sound exactly like the record. One factor which could've made this harder is lupus which reduced his lung capacity making singing and dancing simultaneously even more difficult.
8. The reason some people think MJ didn't sound great on History is because the most popular show from that tour is where MJ was sick. However when he wasn't sick there were times where he sounded even better than the Bad or Dangerous tour e.g. Beat It in Cologne, Kuala Lumpur or Brunei.
The History tour mic feed vocals used here aren't an accurate representation of how good he sounded on the tour given he was sick, was unable to hear himself singing over the playback meaning he had no sense of pitch and wasn't trying too hard given these vocals were never meant to be made public.
9. The point about MJ not having a nose stems from tabloid sensationalism as his autopsy proved his nose hadn't collapsed.”
