This!!!!
You could clearly see that he was more energetic than the MTV VMA.He was enjoying it to the max!!!
Another underrated Dangerous performance is the one at the MJ & Friends concerts.I loved the red shirt on Michael and the new intro with the spiked girl and the acappela dancing was amazing!!!!!
And the most underrated performance in my opinion is this,it deserves more credit:
Elizabeth I Love You

Yup. That one, too. The thing with Michael is that you could put him on a stage in his PJs and make him recite the phone book- that kind of presence and charisma just can't be learned, just improved upon.
It's sorta like the the Monaco performance of "Earth Song". There's basically no crane, he's largely lip synching, tiny space- except for the amazing a capella ending that makes people grab their heads. It's the essence of stage presence and charisma.
(there's a more cleaned up version somewhere on youtube, just can't seem to find it)
The man radiates 600 % intensity, just so that even the least perceptive member in the audience even in the last row can at least feel 90% of it. Should be required watching in any conservatory.
The funny thing to me is that both Wetten Dass and Monaco are not brilliant in the sense of a magnificent stage that wows people- and that the camera work (especially in Wetten Dass...half the time you see people's backs!) is nothing to write home about in a 'spectacular' sense- but in both fairly modest settings he just has absolute command of both stage and audience.
And he simply gives it his all- in the most honest sense possible, he doesn't hold back and people react to that. And those audiences were not just filled with MJ fans, oh no. Yet- he left as the clear ruler in both instances.
Hair's flying, sweat is being sweat and for a few minutes Michael Jackson will convince you that truly, as he said- that in the end there is nothing left but the dance.
I'm not just 'entertained'- I find him much more challenging than that, actually. They called him a bad actor, :hysterical:, oh man.
He's not afraid of a little lipstick, or a good dose of pathos= ideally both at the same time.
