you can tell this is live singing =D the slight echo in the background.. i can understand how the haters say hes lip syncing though, cos he sounds so perfect as he does on a record.. but they dont realise hes MICHAEL JACKSON! not your typical crappy singer we have now days.. =]
Only Michael could carry off "High Water" pants and a rope belt and make it GORGEOUS!!!!! OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE by an AMAZING GENIUS! Love you forever, Michael J. Jackson!!!!
@zaantjedam123 Yeah...it was just so sad to see such talent and beauty slowly change into such tragedy. By the end, he was barely recognizable any more.
I remember watching this performance for the first time. It's so phenomenal. I justed wanted to watch it over and over again. I can never watch this too many times.
Unbelieveble.. so elegant..
It's already a perfect song. But then when watching this show, he even adds even more to it . Like how would that even be possible in the first place. But that's Michael. A true perfectionist!
This is the Michael that people will remember forever,he always wanted to help people,animals and Earth.He was a great person with a beautiful soul he will always be rememberd and loved
No, Michael did lip sync. You can tell this is the original recording. They just didn't turn up the mic at the right time when he started to sing out live. No matter. MJ could sing it live but he was dancing at the same time so he would be breathing too hard to sing it live. MJ is the best. R.I.P St. Michael.
I always thought the man was coming over to give MJ his microphone, since MJ's microphone was malfunctioning. But then it started to work again, and the man walked back. I think it is funny all the people who say MJ lip synced this song. How do you lip sync a microphone malfunctioning? This is one of my favorite Grammy performances!

If u notice at 4:55 after he spins, he hits himself with the Mike. That's why the backup dancer went over to help him out. That did not stop the KING from performing. Brilliant!
If u notice when Michael Jackson spins 4:55 he hits himself with the Mike. Almost knocks himself out and that's why one of the backup singers goes out and helps him out. This was documented. That did not stop the King from continuing with the performance. Brilliant.
Poor sonya, you've got no clues at all. MJ in his prime - his live performances were so good that simpletons like yourself might think they're lipsync'd to a backing track. How would this explain why his microphone drops out at 4.00 (other than a bit of a cock-up by the sound engineer), while the choir and band are still at full volume?
Hauntingly perfect...fit for the angel Michael was for this world.
His light lives on in all of us. God blessed this man for a purpose. What we learn from Michael's life and death is for each of us to share with the world on our journey toward heaven.
Michael's work on Earth is complete. God's work remains.
We are Michael's candles to shine Gods love, mercy, and compassion for all of those who cannot speak for themselves.
I can't help but get emotional at this performance... something about a human being putting his enitre soul and energy in that beautiful song just gets me.... it never fails!!!!
WOW.... that is the most energy I have EVER seen put in a performance! AMAZING! One thing though, what happened at 4:57 when he's on the floor and starts crawing on the floor funny then one of the singer's goes and helps him up? That looks odd...
The man who helps Michael is a close friend, singer/pastor Andrae Crouch. They were friends for most of Michael's adult life. He and his twin sister, Sandra are evangelists and leaders of the choir.
You are very welcome. I should add that Andrae and Sandra worked with Michael on many projects. They were friends to the end. There has been a lot written about Michael's faith. Michael believed in God. Michael believed in Jesus. He met with Andrae and Sandra three weeks prior to his death, and while they both have clarified they did not pray what is called the "sinner's prayer", they prayed together over the annointing of the Holy Spirit. I'm sure he is finally at rest in God's care.
from 5:58 to 6:00 what the heck? you , you , you , you, you, you, .he sounds weird!
