Re: So...do you guys think he could have done all 50 shows?
The This Is It schedule was very easy on him: one location, a day off after every show... compared to what he did for Bad, Dangerous en History this is it really was a piece of cake.
you can't possibly know that, for any artist, unless you are the artist, yourself, and experience it, yourself. that was almost a whole year's worth of performing.

1. He was 50 years old, not 70
2. The tour was RESIDENCY, flying was MJ's biggest complaint and it's not even present here!
3. Madonna is doing here most successful tour ever and she's 50.
4. There are breaks between each show AND there is a very big break in between.
5. MJ won't be singing and dancing for two straight hours, there is lip syncing, there are other performances by the cast, and there are A LOT of slow songs that don't require dancing.
6. Autopsy showed MJ being healthy, not fragile.
This is just another topic because it's just Michael Jackson. MJ was fine, the cocktail of drugs killed him, not the tour.
his other biggest complaint was that 'touring put me through HELL' and what Michael does on stage cannot be compared to what Madonna and others do onstage. surely, everybody else who dances, doesn't do the type of dancing MJ did...and the pyros and being shot from a cannon underground..and other stuff..and lip synching is fifty fifty, and the dancing he does, more than makes up for it, as if, the art requires it, and no one else could sing at all, if they performed like MJ, with his choreography. and he didn't lip synch nearly as much as some people complained that he did. a lot of times, he ad libbed, at the end of those songs. nobody wants to tour forever, and MJ made it clear, that he didn't. he had his reasons. anybody else would, too. and it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with a person being healthy. it's just about wearing a body out, after a time. it could run the healthiest person into the ground, after a while, no matter how old they are. Janis Joplin died from touring, in her 20s. there's just simply things we can't know, unless we walk in the artist's moccasins.
