What are you talking about he looks skeletal and his moves are completely wooden. There is no way he could have improved in time to please the fans.

My God he's actually the worst dancer on the stage - and that's with all the drugs!

Is this the final freak show?

Well, he may have been 50 but he certainly was still on top of it.

He wasn't a great artist. He produced bland songs, usually written and produced by other people, that were simply designed to sell as many copies as possible. The money he made he soon wasted, racking up crippling debts. The songs said nothing about his own life. His legacy is already his sad and freakish lifestyle, not his cold and emotionless music.

He was the greates of all times and his record sales prove that rather you agree or not. Michael Jackson The King Of Pop will live on forever.

He lost it big time - thanks for posting the evidence. (His lying fans would have posted comments saying he is a great dancer, even if he had been seen sitting in a rocking chair!! Ha Ha!)

I think he did the best he could considering his condition. However, the Michael Jackson I know ALWAYS upstaged his background dancers. In this rehearsal, it seemed he was counting on them to carry the show. You can even see one of the moves where he would normally stand up on his front toes, but he barely moves his feet forward. Unfortunately, had he still been alive when this was released or, when the tour started, i believe fans would have been dissappointed. But because he is now gone, I think people look for the best in this rehearsal. However, you can see that he WAS trying. God bless his soul. I actually never realized how many of his songs I loved until they have all been played back this past week. RIP MJ

Get off of the man's case. He is not some god; he is a person who gave his best. I would like to see you naysayers get up there and do what he "could not" do. Shut up! He has nothing to prove anymore to anyone. Let him rest in peace, cowards!
