Michael Jackson- Live in Bucharest- The Dangerous Tour

Puts His All into It
Sorry to say that I didn't pay much attention to MJ the performer until after his death. Went to see "This Is It" to see how he worked as well as the substance to his talent. In short, there was a lot to be impressed about. Even while rehearsing for the London Tour he obviously had a lot of the energy shown many years before on this performance. MJ was a real talent. I have come to appreciate him lately. I wish I had sooner. This video is fun to watch and to see an exceptional "song and dance" man at work!

This Concert took my breath away!!!!
I was born in 1958. So I grew up as MJ grew up. I always loved him, and his music and dancing. In my 20's I joined a spa and the Jazz-ercize class worked out to "Off the Wall" 4 times a week. I never got tired of it. I kind of lost touch with Michael as the years went on. I got married, had kids and started two bands of my own, in my spare time. LOL. BUT Michael's death really hit me hard. I think because he was my age, and I realized what a massively talented person he was. I bought "This is It", because I missed it in the theaters. Then I decided to see what Michael's last tour was like so I bought "Live in Bucharest". HOLY CROW!! He never stops moving, and he is definitely NOT lip-synching to any of his music. There are times he is so out of breath, he falls to his knees, or even flat on his face and just lies there. The crowd goes wild. Then he picks himself back up and starts again. He goes from one gut-busting song to the next. You can see his chest heaving from excursion. I have never, in all my life, seen a performer give so much of themselves to an audience. He is just out there, totally for them, heart and soul. I would have to say Michael Jackson is the greatest showman I have ever seen. He can cause havoc in the crowd with a tilt of his hat. What more can I say. Get the DVD.

Still love Michael
i so much enjoyed the Live in Bucharest Concert featuring Michael Jackson, I sent a copy to my Granddaughter so that she could take pleasure in it also. I plan to order several more copies for gifts to family and friends.

I'm just left to imagine....
Since his death I've been strangely consumed with everything Michael Jackson. A fan since the earliest days of the Jackson 5, he always amazed me with his jaw-dropping talent but revisiting all of his music and seeing previously unviewed videos just takes my breath away. Wow! You are in awe watching him perform. From the opening stunner where he's catapulted onto the stage to the over-the-top departure in a space suit powered by a jetpack, I was mesmerized. I was just swept up in his magic--loved the control and anticipation that he created by simply standing statue-still when he hit the stage. You almost wondered if he WAS just a statue and it was all just an illusion. I have no idea how many people were at this concert, but it was a sea of rocking, swaying, "fainting", screaming humanity. They'll never be another entertainer who was so adored, so affected by his fans. I thought it was particularly touching to see him allow a fan to actually hug him and have him respond with such affection. He didn't just hug--he LOVINGLY EMBRACED that very, very lucky fan and kissed her sweetly on the cheek. She sure didn't want to let go. Who would? Yeah, he lip-synched on several songs but his duet with Sieda Garrett was so great and I had tears in my eyes during the very moving Will You Be There? No one will ever move as sensually and with such perfect control and grace like he did. He truly was otherworldly and simply "became" the dance when he was on stage, moving to a voice, a vibration heard and felt only by him. Favorite song? Couldn't possibly name one. I love them all for the emotions they evoke, for the funk, and the beat and the love they never fail to convey. This is as close as one can get to seeing a young, vibrant, extremely sexy and fabulously-talented Michael Jackson--at the top of his game! I highly recommend this video. If you are a fan, or just curious about his music and genius creativity, you need to get this video. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED! The expression Gone Too Soon seems so inadequate in responding to his tragic and untimely death. As Berry Gordy said in Moonwalk, Michael Jackson comes along only once, period. One of the big regrets of my life is never getting to be part of one of his concerts. How fortunate that we lived and enjoyed him during his time on earth. May his music and compassionate humanitarianism live forever. He was all for L.O.V.E. May God bless and watch over his adorable children, always. I love you Michael! (and I can clearly hear him respond with, "I love you more!").

Off the charts
This DVD is a collectable - the concert is amazing. What MJ had no other performer will even come close. A true artist.
