I wouldn’t say that’s totally accurate. There were some fun new visuals and some intriguing codas to songs (“The Drill,” “Threatened”), but the performances themselves were the same as they’ve always been. I’d call it style over intrigue.
Didn't like those Zaldy outfits. Thought they were ugly, clunky and looked way too heavy and uncomfortable.
Agreed. On a practical level I couldn't see them working. OTT sparkly, shiny outfits are fine but Michael needs to be able to move, lol.
He was gonna give us the “old songs” the “old fashioned way”
They were dreadful. Forget whether he could move / dance in those costumes. Just the aesthetics, ugh!
The grey suit always makes me feel weirdly tearful. Not sure why. Also, it never looked like it fitted him properly. wth? This is Michael Jackson. His outfits should be immaculate.
Yes, that shirt was lovely! And the fabric flowed beautifully.
Yeah, the goth coat he wears in BOW is fabulous. See, I'm confused by talk of Zaldy's BOW outfit. What was that? Bc in the film we see him in that goth coat, he has those gorgeous pants on with the sparkly side seam, and then that beautiful flowing white shirt. When he's saying to Orianthi, 'It's your time to shine, we'll be right there with you.' His outfit there is beautiful, imo. But the Zaldy stuff that I have seen is anything but beautiful or graceful or flowing or understated. He seems to do heavy, OTT, clunky stuff.
This is what I mean. The BOW outfit that we see seems way too beautiful to just be a rehearsal outfit. But it doesn't seem to be Zaldy's style at all.
One Night Only would've been the only "reinvention" tour. That's why MJ fibbed and said he was ill that day lol. I'm mostly kidding..
Still better than the leotard.
Dennis Tompkins and Michael Bush, yes. These aren’t just rumors. Some of these designs can be seen in Bush’s book. According to Karen Faye who was heavily involved with Michael’s vision during 2009, and one of few people he trusted, Zaldy was brought in by Travis, who along with others supposedly got a fee for every person they helped hire, including others who would work on Michael’s look or sound.
god, that's depressing
I edited my post a little while you posted, as I was looking at several sources.god, that's depressing
Maybe from a featurette or promo? Nothing has been released since the DVD many years ago. Sony has a lot of footage left that they have said in the past will be released in the future.
And? Remember The Time is on 14th place, but it wasn't included in track list... This poll wasn't important. As you can see most songs, that was lower, had been chosenAs mentioned previously, this comment by Michael was hinting towards a voting feature that was available on the official website for fans to decide on what songs they would like to be performed in the show. See the image below for the poll results. As you can see, the only Invincible song that managed to make top 20 was You Rock My World. Unbreakable just about scraped top 40, but beyond that there are no other substantial votes for other Invincible songs.
Still boggles my mind that “Jam” made it onto the set list over higher-ranking songs. It’s a great song, but… come on. You’d hope a farewell tour (of sorts) would pull out some deep cuts and treat the fans a bit.As mentioned previously, this comment by Michael was hinting towards a voting feature that was available on the official website for fans to decide on what songs they would like to be performed in the show.

They weren't really doing stuff like that yet. Terminally online back then wasn't a thing, unless you hung around this site probably.
3 seconds of threatened not enough to call it "would have been worked into the interludes". for example if they cutted interlude from unbreakable (panther roar) to put it in the very beggining of the show and putted interlude of YRMW (with chris tucker) somewhere in set-list, then we would say Invincible have been worked into the interludes
The poll certainly wasn't the definitive decision on what was to be included, but I doubt it wasn't considered at all. I doubt Dirty Diana would've made the set at all if it weren't for the shear amount of votes it got. 17/20 of the top voted songs being included isn't too bad, though it would've definitely been interesting to see the other 3.
It still survived in a very small form, there was a brief Who is It segment just before Dangerous. Would definitely have preferred it if he just performed the song though instead of going into the 1000th variation of Dangerous lol.
Lmao you're saying that as if he is still doing them till this day
