VIDEO: The Final Michael Jackson Performance

Written by Seth Abramovitch | 02 Jul 2009, 2:00 PM | 5 comments

jacksonm.jpgHey — you know what would be really bittersweet and slightly macabre? If there were some way to watch Michael Jackson putting on the comeback performance of a lifetime 48 hours before his death, only it’s a dress rehearsal, so instead of cheering throngs, you just hear a stage manager going “hold for applause…hold for applause.” What’s that you say? There is?

That would probably be a fun show, if I wasn't poor, and...circumstances were different.

Have you guys seen this?

Waitaminnute!...I don't wanna be a bad guy here but it appears as though he's just moving his lips and not actually singing the lyrics.

When did performers start doing that live in concert?

(This interweb thing is pretty educational!)

Britney has perfected that technique.

True, but Michael originated nose-syncing.

Oh, you gotta read more dirt. Michael's job was to pretend to dance and show up, in whatever order.
