Respect77, I totally absolutely agree with you. And if one should be allowed to be a little critical to MJ on this forum, as we of course should be able to be, I think that this was one of the things that Michael really could have been better at; changing setlists, giving more surprises and not always just pleasing everyone. I mean, as you said about the This Is It announcement, he said that he would perform the songs that his fans wanted to hear. Well, who says that his fans wanted him to do all the hits? That`s obviously not the truth. It`s more like he wanted to perform the songs that the general public, those who are not die hard fans, and the press, wanted to hear. Because I am sure that if we had a poll on this fan forum about which songs we, as his big fans, wanted to hear, the result would turn out a little different than the general public`s. Of course there are certain songs that would have to be in the setlist no matter what, such as Billie Jean, but in general I think most of would have liked him to change it a bit more around.
A more intimate unplugged concert would be fantastic, with focus on live singing and showcasing his vocal abilities over the show factor. Like you`ve mentioned, songs like I can`t Help It, Give In To Me, Liberian Girl and Whatever Happens would be great. I would also very much think that a raw unplugged live version of Morphine would be awesome and Lady In My Life an amazing experience. I would also love for him to do a Motown set with other songs than I Want You Back, The Love Yo Save and I`ll Be There, that he ALWAYS did on all of his shows. They are great but there are so many more fantastic J5 songs that he could have alernated with to make it more exciting.
