Michael Jackson: 30th Anniversary Celebration

I don't understand the raving reviews. While watching this concert I cringed a lot. Michael covering his mouth all the time because he was lip syncing in his solo parts. Then he 'sang' the last minute of the songs live, as if that fooled anyone. (well, reading the other reviews, apparently it did)

Then Man in the Mirror gets totally messed over by Usher and Luther. Terrible execution of a beautiful song, I hated it. The whole while I got the feeling Michael didn't really had fun, almost as if he wasn't there. Maybe he didn't feel well. He seemed embarrassed about the lip syncing also or afraid. I think I saw him smile once and look at the audience twice or something.

I enjoyed the Jackson 5 part but Michael's solo's just made me sad and I did not care for all the other messy artists.

I am a huge MJ fan and have most of his videos but this concert beats them all! It was the most exciting show to watch, there were so many great performers like Mya, Usher, Whitney Houston, Marc Antony, Gloria Gaynor, Gladys Knight, Britney Spears... and Michael's solo performances were the best he's ever done. He did a jazzed-up version of The Way You Make Me Feel, and then continued the song as a duet with Britney Spears which was awesome. And the Jackson 5 performed together for the first time in almost 2 decades, singing hits like "I Want You Back, ABC, Dance and Shout etc.

If you haven't seen this concert, get hold of a copy because you are missing out on seeing the best concert ever! It's pure magic!

I saw this in 2004 when it was on TV and absolutely HAD to find out where I could get a copy.---I went to e-bay that night and ordered it on VHS for 35.00.---I would have paid 50.00.----Now what I would like to do is have it transferred to CD.---Hands down a truly remarkable show----I would so much have loved to have been there in person--Did anybody get a glimpse of the young girl that was awestruck during Michael's performance of Billy Jean.---Totally perfect dancing by Michael. He wasn't even breathing hard at all-GEEEEEZ.--Only thing I didn't like in it was Liza Minelli which I don't care for at all anyway.--On a scale of 1- 10, I rate this a 10 being perfect.

This is definately a brilliant concert which sees Michael performing again with the Jacksons and his own solo songs. I must say that the duet with Britney on The Way You Make Me Feel is brilliant along with the performance of Billie Jean. I got it on tape and I can't stop watching it, it is AWESOME. MICHAEL JACKSON TRULY IS THE KING OF MUSIC.

You know, I have listened to MJ critics for years, I'm a fan from the 60's , but because everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion, I will let the haters, hate. He was from the beginning, a stunning performer, and remained so until the end. I am so glad we have footage like this to keep those of us who appreciate his magic, and dedication to the art forms of music and dance. I, unlike some of the other's, loved the footage of the fans. It's always great to see the real reactions of the folks who were there live. The electricity of being in the moment, adds to the footage. You can't stage that. I love to see the fans in the US, going wild for a change, we always see footage of other countries. He belonged to the world, but he came from us. We can be proud, he was, and will continue to be an American Icon. I love you Michael, I have since 1969. Thank you, and I love you Jackson 5; for all the memories of my youth, thank you Michael for the music as we grew into adults, I am forever a fan!!!
