Did he ever sing live?? All I have seen so far (I don't mean those rehearsals but generally) was playback... I know he was an incredible dancer but I thought he sang live on his shows..

This is not meant as any offence. R.I.P Michael.

Bad Tour 87 was 100% LIVE. Some songs during 89 were MIMED

Billie Jean - Yokohama '87


Dangerous Tour 92/93 was (imo) 60% LIVE. the rest was MIMED

Beat It - Bucharest '92

Man In The Mirror - Bucharest '92


HIStory Tour 96/97 was 95% MIMED

Smooth Criminal - Kuala Lumpur '96

Oh, thank you for the research!!! You must be a big MJ fan, don't you? I have probably seen videos only from the HIStory tour - becasue I really love You're Not Alone. And it is the tour when he looked like a corpse and didn't sing. It's very obvious right during You're Not Alone - he hides his mouth when it could be too obvious that he is only lip synching. He just shout some extra words at the end of the song.
Was this because of his health? That he wasn't able to sing live anymore??

During the second leg of Bad Tour (1989) he was advised to rest his vocals due to Laryngitis.

Other times, it was just pure laziness imo.

Just watched this. Black Eyed Peas - I Got a Feeling at the Oprah show.
Love this song and its an excellent dance!!

One of the best music videos i have seen from a rock band.

Don't know where else to put it and don't want to start a new thread.

This one's for Ice.

Don't know if you you've already seen it. KISS were at Wetten Dass (where Bon Jovi had been in January). The show is about bets and one had to do with KISS. So, after their performance they went outside to Michelle Hunziker on the screens to see how that bet evolves. Look around 6:10 when the one guy shouts it out loud (pun intended) in classic KISS vein... :)

And although the host lost the bet, KISS performed spontaneously outside after the end of the show...
