Those were scripted. He had a similar amount of confidence during the James Brown performance in 2003.He looked way more confidant of himself in the 80s when james brown and Diana ross called him onstage
He actually danced at the 2002 American Music Awards too. Although admittedly it wasn't quite as spectacular.3.10 that’s confidence, that‘s swagger. How often do you see such spontaneity when an artist goes to collect an award?
Let's compare times Michael is stuck with music in the background on stage with no direction.
1984
This is a full on dance performance for these back-up dancers and he's thrust into the stage so he just stands there awkwardly in front of the full choreography like "I wrote this song btw lol"
2006
He's just walking on stage with "You Are Not Alone" playing as back-up music essentially. He exudes so much more charisma and he starts singing along to the song and essentially performing it when he doesn't need to at all.
