On both performances Michael was poisoned by demorol. Both performances didn't really go well. Which one, in you opinion, was better?
 
2001 was far better, mainly because he performed with his brothers for the first time since 1983. First time they played Dancing Machine since 1980 and Michael sang live!
1999 is basically VMA 1995 (but worse) + a typical performance of the Earth Song. Nothing special, but I like the updated version of Dangerous. He could have done much better! The 1999 shows are a disappointment for me.
2001's Billie Jean is nice to look at too and we got the only performance of YRMW ever. So no doubt for me.
 
1999 is far superior in every way. Dancing, vocals, stage design, looks. To me MJ & friends was the last time we saw the “real Michael” on stage. Something changed after that. The only thing the MSG has over 1999 is the extended setlist and live vocals (tho these were later re-recorded)
 
MJ lost his edge as a performer after the Dangerous tour. Actually, he lost some of it after the Bad tour, because he started lip-syncing more often during the Dangerous tour. The History tour had quite a number of bad performances. After the bridge accident in 1999, MJ practically became a shell of his former self as far as showmanship went.

It makes sense; he had gotten older, but Prince had more longevity. From childhood to the Bad tour, MJ was at the top of his game.

I like History tour
 
its a board, not an echo chamber.

Beano, the reason this forum could stay alive was
1. the donators
2. the fact it was loved by fans because it was NOT that trashy board like MJJHO where anyone could post anything without consequences.

Do all of us a favor and ban people who trash this board with the same useless threads several times. Otherwise people will log off and never log in again. And donators will stop donating..

May I ask @Stain Finkins what are you getting from your constant trolling and spamming?

Richard - does your little red rocket go hard when you receive a reply or when others engage with you? There is something seriously lacking in your life to find such enjoyment from ruining a once great forum with your nonsense.

I’m genuinely curious, what are you getting from this? Are you lonely and have no friends? (wouldn’t be a surprise) or are you being arse for the shits and giggles?

Enjoy the forum like the other members but STOP this god awful trolling. It’s really embarrassing and I’m starting to think you’re possibly mentally unwell.
 
I mean I can see it happening with the cameo but is it worth it? What do we gain? We know their Estates aren't going to release the songs so it's a waste of time and money.

Banning is up to @Gaz . Saying bad things to mods who are volunteering their time won't help. We do care, but we have life outside of the forum.
