Bad Tour in Rome,1988-the ,,vocals,,

[PurpleThriller]

Why are Mike's vocals so weak and off key during this entire show?(well more like half show)
He sounds like he can BARELY sing or carry a damn tune here.Heartbreak Hotel and Thriller are the peak of that.Most of the other songs don't sound(vocally) better either.It's so damn bad(NOT IN A GOOD WAY)
His vocals are so bad I can't believe this show even happened...
He only sounds decent on Dirty Diana,Another Part of me and I just can't stop loving you/She's out my life(decent,but NOT any sort of great or amazing)
The only great moments are the ,,Rock with you,, final long note and the falsetto part/s of Human Nature.And even those sound kinda weak.
The horrible quality of the vocals is concerning,in my opinion.
But what do you think?

He was sick, my friend.

Did he have a cold? Or laryngitis? Is the second half of this show available somewhere? Sorry for all the questions haha

During early 1988 his vocals started off great during the shows in Kansas & New York (nearly as good as the Australian shows) but then he got sick in St. Louis & he sounded sick until the shows in Turin/Rotterdam. He might've gotten sick again in Rome (possibly why he was wearing a winter coat to rehearsals).

The worst live vocals on the Bad Tour are still better than the best live vocals on the HIStory Tour.
