I got so many things to blog about I better shall separate it into different posts.
Went for Thriller Live yesterday.
After the concert, I had a strong urge to watch MJ videos on youtube on repeat.
After the concert, I am convinced MJ is irreplacable.
After the concert, I kinda felt my money could have been better spent :X
Instead of staying true to MJ, the "tribute" incorporated random breakdances and street wear which just... makes it black I guess. At the risk of sounding racist, it's really the best way to describe it.
I mean, THRILLER performed with backup dancers wearing basketball shirts and shorts? Looking punkish? HELLO? Zombies not so hip can?
There were about 4-5 MJ.
One was just abit too plump to be convincing. It just feels weird to watch someone perform MJ's moves but yet not quite getting it cause well, there was a bit too much meat around. I don't mean to be size-ist, but hey, facts are facts. If actors can loose a whole pile of weight for their roles, I am sure the dancer can do his part? I don't know. Just my opinion. And he's bald some of the times. I mean. BALD? MJ HAD HAIR. And there were parts where the MJs had wigs. Those sphere shaped wigs for the Jackson 5 era. So much hair. So why can't you have wigs throughout? So half hearted. Bald MJ. Seriously.
Another was white enough (to be MJ in the later years), tall enough and skinny enough. And his techniques are correct. But... that's it. He's doing it, but not feeling it.
I guess that kinda sums up the entire performance. It comes across as a show with a severe lack of heart. Everytime they attempt to pull off MJ moves like the famous moonwalk and the 45 degree thingy, instead of being impressed, I can't help but think "please pull this off". I severely was worried it couldn't be done.
Wonder if its just me.
Sadly, overall, it felt like more like a school play than a world class act.
Sadly, after the show, instead of being thrilled to watch MJ come back to life, I just felt mildly depressed that there will never be someone as amazing as him again.
