Re: Wembley DVD content - Discuss Michael, his Wembley concert and performances Only
She immediately wipes here face because of mj`s sweat, right after... i noticed yesterday, lol!
My first reaction when she walked up to him was "awe"...then I noticed that she did that and had a good laugh about it. lol.
Ya know, when I watched this last night I watched it alone in my room with my "Beats by Dre" headphones plugged into the tv, and all I could think about was how awesome a feeling it was. It was a Friday night and I was off of work and was a bit bummed to not have much to do. Well, my copy arrived a few days early so it was just me and MJ, just like it has felt for most of my life. I know that's a strange statement, but it's hard to explain. I do wish I could have shared the experience with someone that would have enjoyed it, that would've made it more special. But It took me back to that one special night, when I watched the Dangerous Tour on HBO as a child.
I didn't have the set-list memorized so I was surprised to hear a few songs in the order that I did, especially since I know the Dangerous Tour Set-list. Did anyone else get teary eyed during "She's out of my life"? lmao. It's so ridiculous because I knew it was coming but for some reason 8 times out of 10, it gets to me for some reason. And I'm not ashamed to say that as a 23 year old male that doesn't cry often lol. That's just the power that Michael had, to capture the emotion of the audience. And it says a lot to know the song is coming, to have seen it performed over and over again...and still get emotional.
I also didn't mention how amazing I thought the ending of "I'll be there" was!! Wow. I'm not sure if you can call them ab-libs or more of a transition, but I felt his emotion and his feeling there. You can tell he was in to it and at one point you can see one of the backup dancers look at him with a big grin like, "yeah, he's feeling it!" This was one of the parts I had to play over and over again.
It was a great feeling, seeing a complete MJ show again for the first time...especially an official release. As I stated earlier, it almost felt live to me. And it almost made me feel as though Michael was still here.
It was when "Man In The Mirror" started that reality set in and I didn't want to go back to it. Honestly, I don't recall much of that particular performance because all I could think about was wow, this isn't live. And Michael isn't truly here right now. It was as if for that 2 and half or whatever hours, that he was right here. I think that is the first time I felt that way and it really...well, sucked to be honest.
.
I didn't want to go back to that reality, but as the show closed it made me appreciate what he provided and what the estate granted us. They gave us the one thing we have been signing petitions and fussing about for so many years. And you have to respect that. I'm very grateful that we have this, and although I've questioned a lot of the releases post 09, this one more than makes up for it, for me.
