Michael Jackson - Smooth Criminal - Live Munich 1997 | REACTION

[@davionna9594]

He only sings a little cause he had laryngitis poor baby and people had the nerve to be mad about him not Singing live in 95-97 they would say "he always sing live in the 80's" I'm like folks don't be grateful for shit..

[@francesco5331]

Well said! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@u.a1952]

Exactly! He could have coasted off the sheer brilliance of his Bad tour alone. Yet, he still chose to keep going, and donated the proceeds from his later tours to charity. Dangerous is a great tour, and so is HIStory. Forget them.

[@mysticamoreli9627]

Yes indeed, who cares if he sang live or not, the performance alone? Epic!

[@davionna9594]

@@u.a1952 EXACTLY....he sure wasn't appreciated enough for his hard work in this industry....but in the industry no matter what you do nothing is good enough that's why you gotta do what you need or want instead of living for them.. you'd never live if that was the case.😂

On this tour, Michael had laryngitis, which directly influenced his voice. On Bad World Tour and Dangerous Word Tour most vocals are live

Yes but he almost never sang Smooth Criminal fully live, maybe at the beginning of the 2nd leg of Bad Tour in the USA.

[@Agrassyhandle]

If you understand the amount of shock and excitement I got when I saw the notification...

[@jerryjaguar3239]

The lean was actually an incredibly choreographed part in the song where he and his dancers had a rig in his shoes and a setup in the stage that enabled them to do this lean

[@harrietmiller3982]

He actually invented that lean trick. Magnets under the stage and special magnets in the shoes!

[@danielamelo3279]

@@harrietmiller3982 its not magnets the shoes had a special hole here when Michael slided his feet into 2 screws that got up at the right moment would secure his feet and he would do the lean, come back up and then he had to slide his shoes of the screws and continue the performance. "Ricardo Walker" explains that very well in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6uxiX-Vh7eLnsk

[@omegapsi847]

6:34 Michael invented that technique himself where you hook up with prepared shoes into a prepared section of the floor. basically prior to that the guy with the bomb causes distraction so that the group can go into position on the right side in the dark lights off. they hook up their shoes, lights go on and boom you got the illusion. it still requires a lot of body strength in order to perform this move in a smooth way. you can even see how the guy on the right has trouble to un-hook his shoes from the floor, it was quite close but he got it off just in time before it got too suspicious

[@KQmusic]

Here is what you NEED to watch bro: 1. This Is It “Human Nature” rehearsal. Not only was it his last ever performance of this song before he past but his BEST ever and it was only a rehearsal. The way he performs it is close to the album version in terms of tempo etc (unlike his Bad and Dangerous tour). You’ll love it! 2. Workin Day & Night (Live Bucharest 1992). That in my opinion is his GREATEST MOST ENERGETIC PERFORMANCE. His sings live, uses his band and back up dancers & has the audience in the palm of his hands. These 2 are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

[@stephinthesix3355]

Keep your eyes on the screen, Jack!!! 😂💕 Smooth Criminal is one of my favourite stage performances, second only maybe to Dangerous...and at this stage in his career, while the speed is a bit toned down, the precision and ease with which he dances and performs is just incredible. He’s not singing live...rarely did during the History tour. It’s just too difficult to carry this choreography and sing with any power as you get older, and are fighting the numerous health issues that MJ was. He did sing this live in the 80s, though. Happy birthday MJ, we miss you! ❤️

Just a lil info - Sammy Davis Jr was one of MJs people whose styles he studied & admired (like James Brown). If you've ever seen Sammy tap dance - his movements, hand/arm and leg movements - some of MJs movements are very similar to his. Watching this just reminded me of that!
