      Not quite, there is something funny with Michael's mike from 2:00 on. It's unlikely that someone was moving the fader precisely just at that moment, or that he was fake singing - probably Michael's voice was dubbed by him right after the show.

      Great performance, and it sounds like every one of them had a mic that went live for parts and was mixed or replaced with pre-recorded backing tracks for other parts. All the vocals seem more live than the instruments. Woulda loved to hear them play it 100% live (with the keyboardist doing the horns).

      Sometimes they lip-synced, sometimes they didn't. They might be singing for real here, but you can find videos from the same point in their career where they're lip-syncing on other TV shows. Even Michael Jackson in his solo career wasn't above lip-syncing. You could see him lip-syncing at the Super Bowl, and he lip-synced at the Jacksons anniversary show when he 'sang' "Beat It".

    Their sound was so clean and on-point, without the help of auto-tune, green screens, lip-syncing or other tricks today’s “singers” use. This is real, raw talent right here. Great performance!

    It's just amazing how the song in this live presentation it's actually better than the actual 1973 song

    It's NOT the cameraman's fault for missing MJ's dance solo. The Producer/Director has three camera feeds to choose from. It looks like one was focused on MJ and the other two provided cut-away shots. The producer chooses which camera is "hot" and goes on air. The cameraman providing a shot of bongos did his job. The PRODUCER on the other hand was an idiot.

      Congas, not bongos. But you're right about a dumb producer.

      _Producers_ are responsible for *content.* The _director_ is responsible for the visual *presentation.* This was the _director's_ fault.

      Its because these pedo/bowmans are EVERYWHERE and just like Johnny, they focus on the KID..

    Notice how they all bow to show gratitude to their audience! Michael never stopped bowing even after he became the KING. 😥

      I've met many people who said that they went to an MJ concert just to accompany someone and end up saying that it was the best concert that they had ever attended.

    This is when you had to make sure your mic was plugged in. Awesome! It's amazing how this performance was 2 years before I was born, yet I still enjoy the song today. Thank you for sharing this video. I'm so glad I was a 70's baby!

    He was a master showman even at that age. Back then, performers had to deal with the microphone cord. Anyone else would be all tangled up with all of those spins!

    I remember his dancing was just as much as part of the show as the music. I think everyone watched him in amazement just awed at how someone can dance so damn well.
