@@aliseluizekreitenberga428 Nope. Random guy is correct. This is the only time on video where we get to hear him singing this fully live. Every live performance from any tour is lip syncd for the bulk of the song. Even in the Bad tour New York and Kansas City dates where he sung every other song live , he still lip syncd Man in the Mirror (until the live portion begins). So this video is very special.
Random Guy is correct. This is the only reason live version of Man in the Mirror. MJ was so talented but this song is usually reserved to be the final track in his concert when we would usually be understandably fatigued and it's usually lip synced. Too bad we couldn't see this concert
@@kicik5038 not the reason. Dud you hear how hard he had to strain to sing those parts ? They sounded so hard for him to sing. So strained and sharp and tight on his throat and just not right on key. He couldn't do thst every night. He'd fuck it up. The more gravelly part of the end of thdthe song he could sing with Michael more ease.
So true. I have a deep sadness for never been able so see him live. I grew up being the number 1 fan in my head. I'm now 43 and this song still brings me tears. Yesterday I showed her a live performance of this song to my 4 year hold daughter and she said she had "happy tears" :)
From what I see he's not holding back even though he says in all of his interviews that he don't give his best in the rehearsals but I'm sure sometimes he do gives his best like this one and the IJCSLY rehearsal of 2009. His voice is pretty rough/not in good condition. He's aging and yes for sure struggling a bit to sing and dance at the same time. You can see that here in the video. His breathing says it all
Love 5:02! I always have a sense we're witnessing something beautiful, Holy even, imbuing throughout Michael's body. His life force just pulsed with Light. Forever missing you, Michael.❤️❤️❤️
I knew you were referring to this part before checking the timestamp!! Michael was so honest and brave in his expression. He's example of what happens when we truly let go of the ego and just create. ❤️
@@sapphirelatina That's very telling of how talented he was and how much he took that talent to the fullest potential. Him ''dialling down'' sounded 1000 times that me giving it all ahhahah
I know he could always sound like the album version, he just chose not to and used playback instead on some of his songs, to preserve his voice and to avoid further larynx injury (Especially during the 90's). Also, he kinda changed his vocal style during the Bad era, adding more rasp to his higher notes. Listen to the Billie Jean in This Is it, he sounded almost the same to 1983.
@@hacantyapradipta1119 He sounded almost the same in This Is It because most of it was playback mixed from the album acapella and demo track acapellas with a very small snippet of live vocals.
Hacantya Pradipta Lol his voice was not good in the 2000’s. He used playback out of laziness on the HIStory tour. Only had laryngitis in one month of that over a year long tour. Lmao
@@batoullamouri3699 Exactly. We can only presume MJ thought he would be too exhausted at the end of the concert to do such a demanding song. Too bad for us. MJ’s worst would be another singers greatest day 🌻
The power and precision of his voice during rehearsal is incredible. I don't understand why he never sung this song completely live. He was way more than capable to sustain such a performance. Incredible video anyway. Thanks so much
Nah you can tell that singing full out night after night after doing 2+ hours of dancing, he would have messed up..a lot of his song are just very vocally demanding.
He probably knew himself what he was and wasn't capable singing live throughout a 2 hour concert. For rehearsals he can be a little more laid back and take pauses whereas live in front of thousands of people, he wants to give the best that he can with his vocals and his dancing.
I've been watching a lot of his DWT rehearsals and I cant believe I just saw this now. Goosebumps! And this is just rehearsals people! There will never be anyone like him in our lifetime.
The thing is, for every song Michael jackson lip synced in his career, he always sung at this level underneath even though no one heard it. But it actually did get recorded, and MJs music director had all the tapes
Michael Jackson, thanks for all the beautiful songs! YOU are the Legendary Artist, the Icon, the King of Music. You will always be in our hearts. Your Music will live on Forever.
I have no idea why he never sang this song live in concert. He sounds so much better singing it live instead of lip-synching it. I wish he would’ve done it live.
I think he was just too much of a perfectionist and didn't think live singing sounded "good enough," especially with so much dancing going on. I always wished he sang live a lot more than he did later in his life, cause his voice was so precious, and I love it even more so than his amazing dancing. 😔
Both at his BAD and DANGEROUS tours he sang this amazing song half lip-synching and half live. As we see here, he had absolutely NO reason to lip-synch in this song! It would be amazing to hear it live on tour, and I can imagine the crowds' reactions...
+chris mj Jackson no mj sung alot of playback with man in the mirror in the bad tour and used play back the full history concert besides wanna be starting something
+chris mj Jackson What are you saying? This shows that you don't know a lot about Michael's shows. We all admit and recognize that he lip-synched some songs, this doesn't mean that we don't admire him as an artist. If you look closely at some clips you will see some occasions that he lost the words, and the song was playing from behind, etc. Perhaps you re too young.
TheGreekMichaelJackson No, I'm afraid we all don't. Some fans pine so hard that they try to deitify Michael every instance they can. It's just not right, he was a man, a good man who helped people, but not a god. And he hated touring, so him lip-syncing isn't much of a fuss.
Such a legend!!!! Urghh why wasnt i born in the 60s ?!! i could have lived through this beautiful time of music and movies. Love you michael rest in peace my angel xxxx #mjinnocent #factsdontliepeopledo✌🖤🌸
His music is soooo so powerful. I can’t not listen to it ever again. Regardless of what he may or may not have done. His music was such a major influence in my life. No one will ever come close.
Michael on his tours from '97 onwards only used playback, so I love watching rehearsals. As much as he didn't sing fully, it's too good to hear his vocals to the live
ESTO ES UNA JOYA, ES PRECIOSO VERLO CANTAR EN VIVO MAN IN THE MIRROR SIN TANTA PRODUCCIÓN...SU VOZ ES MÁGICA ❤️❤️❤️🤴✨TE AMO MUCHO MICHAEL JACKSON ✨❤️ MJ 🙏
I don’t think people understand how precious this is. It’s the only footage we have of Michael Jackson singing Man In The Mirror live
I am pretty sure there is plenty of performances with this song to watch.

he sings it live during the bad tour?
4:06 OH COME OH EXACTLY LIKE THE RECORD UGH WHAT A TALENT
That’s exactly what I thought!!! PURE TALENT
His Rehersals are better than what artist call "CONCERTS" nowdays
Zel Manansala you're pretty
You could feel the emotion in his performance, even if it was just a rehearsal.
So true. I have a deep sadness for never been able so see him live. I grew up being the number 1 fan in my head. I'm now 43 and this song still brings me tears. Yesterday I showed her a live performance of this song to my 4 year hold daughter and she said she had "happy tears" :)
There's no reason to compare, let people enjoy what they want.

The quality of his voice during a rehearsal makes me miss him so much. 😢
❤ me 2 !
He's holding back and he's STILL killing it
Andrew Garfield? From Hacksaw Ridge?

I'm 73 yrs old in 2024 and still watching and loving MJ!
Long life sir❤❤
5:30 😭 please come back mike
😭😢😔
5:00 I loooove the way he dances here!
When I hear his voice, it’s like the wind calling me home. At last I’m no longer alone, but am bathed in comfort and love ❤
5:30 that note thoooo😭😭👌👌👏👏😌😌😌
COME ON NOW!
This is my first time hearing him singing live this song without playback. He just sounds better than the studio version, amazing!!
this is it
I dont agree on that
Hes sounds good but lets be honest he does not sound better than the recorded version.
4:06-4:14 *PERFECTION*
Love 5:02! I always have a sense we're witnessing something beautiful, Holy even, imbuing throughout Michael's body. His life force just pulsed with Light. Forever missing you, Michael.❤️❤️❤️

Yes
Ofc michael da best
5:10 is my favourite bit... HIS VOICE 😱😭😍❤️🙌👌
5:30 how about this😭♥️
1:10 his voice here sounds like his in the ‘This is it’ . Must be when hes really preserving his voice
Yeeaahhhhh
Yeah, he knew what he was doing, on This is it or any rehearse he never gave full, the sang the concept of the song.
@@DrRhyhm no on this is it they used dubbed voices from different eras to cover his voice
Probably how he sounded like in this is it
Michael singing Man in the Mirror, the whole song, live. THIS IS PRECIOUS!
Michael Jackson' s rehearsals are far better than concerts nowadays. YOU ARE ONE OF A KIND.
He is the same here and in This Is It, he rehearses at 10% of his real potential and is great! This man was magical
Now thats a real singer and performer without all gimmicks that new artists doing these days.
jackson vocal is as usually just amazing like the moogy bass line ... Monumental
3:45 he's so gentle when he makes corrections
Even in rehearsals, he was giving his best. He always does.
he wasnt, artists gotta preserve themselves in rehearsal they dont wanna injure their voice or body, so he had to dial it down a bit
@@sapphirelatina That's very telling of how talented he was and how much he took that talent to the fullest potential. Him ''dialling down'' sounded 1000 times that me giving it all ahhahah
"Even in rehearsals" more like exclusively during rehearsals. We literally have no other example of him singing this completely live.
@@sapphirelatinayes he does
The best male singer?
one of the best for sure.
The best .
sam doyle no need for a question mark... facts
sam doyle best artist - for sure
best vocalist/singer - definitely up in the there in top 6
Best in the world and more than any male or female

5:02-6:00 is my favorite part of Man in the Mirror Live😍😊
When rehearsal, he always sang live. That's why I like to watch this
first time ive ever heard MJ sing the beginning of this 'live' sounds amazing....he always lipsynced this song but came in live towards the end
This is pure magic!!!! I love this man more and more each day
Best performance of MITM ever, and it's a rehearsal😂 this happens all the time lol. It's the same with RTT.
+chris mj Jackson damn, ever time I comment some other fan needs to chime in with information I already know.
Connor Elder oh yes...he such a natural..THE MASTER!!❤.
I wish we could hear him singing smile...It is impossible not to cry hearing it..
But remember the time was only in a reharsal, it isn't in any concert
RTT rehearsal was the best,he ate his record for real...
@Rasputinn it was performed at Soul Train Awards in 1993 but, unfortunately, with playback 😔 also Michael hurt his leg and sit all the time
Its a crime that he never officially sang this live.😭😭😭 this footage is precious
He sang it live! Well, always just half of the song
No he didnt. Only the adlibs were live.

Already 45 and this is the first time I've listened to this song live. And it's not a concert but a rehearsal!!!!
He's reserving his voice but his reserves still sounds amazing
omg when Michael sings this live, it sounds like CD!!!
Its a waste of energy if you sing and dance at the same time. But MJ always killin it. Ilove MJ's voice its so nostalgic.
His music is soooo so powerful. I can’t not listen to it ever again. Regardless of what he may or may not have done. His music was such a major influence in my life. No one will ever come close.
5:00 I LOVE THE WAY HE DANCE!!
How much we miss you MJ … ?!?!?
You weren’t from this planet …. It’s everyday clearer … ❤️😎🤗
Michael on his tours from '97 onwards only used playback, so I love watching rehearsals. As much as he didn't sing fully, it's too good to hear his vocals to the live
I'm gonna cherish this, wow
Michael jackson is the best singer I had ever seen
THIS IS SO PRECIOUS!!!!!!
Thank you, MJ!
the way he talks is so soft, but when he hits the high notes he he
Listening and watching this now, I felt like there's almost no difference between this and the album version. Plus this is MJ, so yeah. ❤️
I love his little dance at 5:00 it is so cute I’m dying
Rest in peace king of pop 😭😭
