There's little to no info about these performances that i've heard of. This sucks alot because these are his recent performaces, and in the 2000's his performances came very far and inbetween. But anyways he performed Black or White, Heal the World, and Dangerous. There's a few pictures on the internet of all three performances. But there's only a short video of MJ performing Dangerous. I never understood why they weren't televised, or atleast put onto Youtube. Everything done at the Apollo is usually a big deal, especially it being MJ performing at the Apollo!

I don't recall where I read it, but somewhere it was reported that BoW wasn't lip synced and it usually always is lip synced. Dangerous, and Heal The World were most likely lip synced like usual. These performances also look better arranged and better performed than anything at MSG. So take that for what it's worth.
 
Thanx BPYTD. I saw the performance before but not the Cliton introduction part. How many other artists can have the opportunity to be introduced by the President like that? And I like the things he said.
 
I never heard about this appearance, but then I can't know everything. Also, I was kind of surprised to know also that Michael had performed at Bill Clinton's original Inauguration...I didn't know that or I knew about it and didn't remember.

The funny thing is that I just posted a thread about Michael and his Brothers should be at the Presidential Inauguration for Barack Obama and I hadn't even seen this video of him at the Apollo in 2002 with Bill Clinton hosting it. That's wild!

Oh, and I had to sit and watch the other YouTube videos on that post. I always like to do that. I never just watch the one that's posted.

I really liked the one about the song, "Beggin" by "MADCON". I loved Michael's dancing to the beats of that song. Didn't care for the Justin Timberlake parts, they could have been left out. Seriously speaking.

Thanks for informing about something I didn't already know.:D
 
I've seen the performance of Dangerous and it was brilliant. Apparently both Black Or White and Heal the World were sung live. Only one section of Dangerous was sung live but that's understandable because of the intense choreography.
 
It's really unfortunate that we never got to see the other performances of this event, from reports it sounded truly awesome...
