It was just a rough draft. Uncle Kenny pieced the bits together well. And so the hell what if one or two tracks are 'lipped'. He's Michael Fucking Jackson and he can Moonwalk on your mom if he wants.
Hmph.
Again, I DON'T care what they had to do!! But when people came in here claiming it was all live, thats the ONLY reason I put in my 2 cents. I really don't care. It's pretty OBVIOUS I am a HUGE fan.
Not talking to you Lynners, I'm still bitchy at the atmosphere earlier here. Some give the impression of lipping being a mortal sin because of what those Journey dudes pulled a few years ago.

The atmosphere here was just fine till you crawled in with your head in the sand and ass on the air with "I'm right" written all over it.
No it's not mortal to lipsync ( but we all know MJ wasn't immortal after all )
and it's been very common for MJ to pipe in the vox while concentrating more on the choreography and the dances and the entire show , while trying to save his voice for the real show.
I never said he didn't have the talent. But judging from the rehearsals , as fantastic as we all know the London shows wouldve been , it's also clear that there is NO WAY he couldve performed all those songs live and last through the whole tour. It's very sad to say this but His death saved him from what wouldve been one final humiliation.
