I was wondering what the world press thought of Michael's concert tours when they saw him perform. What did they think of Michael dangling out of his cherrypicker? Did they criticize him for using playback during the HIStory tour, or did they not notice at all? Did the crowd like Beat It or Black or White the most?
Please share reviews from your country, even if they aren't English. I'll update this post every now and then with the links you submit! Both positive and negative.
Note that this is a live show-review thread only, no DVD/TV-shenanigans.
I'll start with three written reviews from Norway. They are all, unfortuneately, written in Norwegian. Hopefully the MJJ Community can provide us with some English ones. However, every language is accepted.
