Ranking MJ’s Billie Jean Performances | Dangerous Tour (Pro Footage Only) 

Okay I love this new channel. You discussing these performances is lovely. My favourite part of K MJ 1.0 was how you reviewed each performance in the description, and this is like a whole channel of that. Great stuff.

KMJ, are the odes of praise accepted?😊 You are well done, just handsome, a professional in your field! Such video reviews are simply gorgeous, they look with great interest and in one breath! 👍💥that's what it means when the work is done by a Master and masterfully!!!👋👋👋

Super interesting to watch! Also, in my opinion, Oslo has to be the best cinematography imo, it just feels grand and groovy

I've been to Copenhagen once (even though I've been there for less than 24 hours lol) and I liked it a lot

Aw yeah, this is what I was waiting for man! Great work!

Great analysis, very complete!! All the points that a Mj maniac would like to talk and discuss

i LOVE the instrumentation in bucharest

I've been waiting for this type of video

Nice video! I think that would be interesting if you do another ranking of Billie Jean performances but during the HIStory Tour 😃

I didn’t really like the Drums of the Oslo concert, I love strong booming drums, amateur audio of Billie Jean in São Paulo 1993 has my favorite percussion.

Lovely ranking, need a history tour version please, begging you!

July shows sems to be at MJ’s best😃

Can't wait until HIStory tour

Definitely respect your opinion 🙏 but for the Bucharest performance on the dancing side , you mentioned his looseness. Wouldn’t you say that’s most to his roots? he did say he loves freestyling everything

7. Bremen This performance doesn't do anything for me. I quite like the slick sleeve pulling move he does but that's about it. 6. Bucharest Excellent instrumentation, great energy and the best moonwalk of the tour. I also love the look he has here. One-sided curls rock, you plebeian. Unfortunately, this performance suffers from lacklustre vocals and an uninteresting breakdown. 5. Munich This feels like a sort of mix between rehearsals and actually live performances that I really love. 4. Cologne I love the instrumentation here and the vocals are killer (I listen to that "no" at least ten times a day). Unfortunately, it lacks an intro, which hurts this performance a lot for me, and the breakdown is nothing spectacular. 3. Copenhagen The speed and energy are incredible here, especially with the intro. You can tell Michael is really putting it all into this performance and is pulling out all the stops. 2. Oslo I love everything about this performance, the energy, the camera angles, the instrumentation, it all clicks for me. The way the drums sound during the breakdown is incredibly satisfying. The novelty of it taking place during the day is only the cherry on top. 1. Buenos Aires My favourite non-HIStory Tour Billie Jean performance in pro. I love every Billie Jean performance in 1993. The breakdown here is one of my favourites ever, it flows super well and the moves are performed in a nonchalant style I love. You can feel Michael's passion throughout, with a "sticking it to the man" attitude that makes this performance feel grander than others.

My rank would look like this (from best to worst): 1- Cologne, Germany 2- Bremen, Germany 3- Munich, Germany 4-Bucharest, Romania 5- Copenhagen, Denmark 6- Oslo, Norway 7- Buenos Aires, Argentina

I like how you upgrade Cologne as your favourite but downgrade Copenhagen to your 2nd favourite. Overall, the list is accurate. I agree that Bucharest should be the last because it wasn't that special.

Munich 92 the dancing is great but it was the opening night. He is always a little less energetic. Look at Kansas city 88, he didn't dance as much as in other shows in 88. Nothing boring about it at all just less energy. MJ always gives a good show even when he is tired.... even when he lipsyncs. Obviously MJ 8s very aggressive on stage. It adds to his intensity. The same aggressive energy for Motown 25.... same aggression.

I always thought the Bucharest show was at least above average but looking at them all it really does seem like one of the worst Dangerous Tour concerts. The instrumentation and audio mixing carry it the whole nine yards.

-Buenos Aires, Argentina. The camera angles are great, i have no complains Me: BUT? -...but... Me: The moonwalk -The moonwalk Ye

here’s why bucharest deserved better. the dance moves were ultra smooth and the combos were perfection. the routine had clearly matured after munich. Mike was still putting in kilowatts of energy but now he was making it look easy. the vocals sounded different. but still characterful and on point. that moonwalk was easily the smoothest of all the live performances we’ve gotten so far the others had their moments but as a whole performance, bucharest is on another level.

14:05 is because the curl is in the middle and not on the side

Tbh if mexico 1993 was on pro it be on my list That was a really good show tbh >:))

I think Munich performance was a callback to bad tour due to the similar moves and combos, i rate it higher than you did personally

Why did even choose the bbc version of burcharest

Hello! Could you turn on subtitles?

Could You do bad next? Because we only have Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka, and Wembley

Bad tour next pls

IMO, Bremen had 10/10 energy

Joe are Moran dis is best performance live dans ever

In my opinion: 8. Bucharest, any other 1992 performance is better than Bucharest, and ngl, the moonwalk actually isn't that good, it's just long, and not that smooth, that's some hard to swallow truth I had to handle and many people have to. I find Bucharest similar to late 1997 performances where MJ dances a lot in the beginning but then he just doesn't feel like doing anything, I believe he got sick prior to this show, no wonder he looks and sounds tired. How did we go from Madrid to this? And Lisbon looks very energetic so... how? 3/10 6. Mexico, some might say this is amateur footage, but Smooth Criminal from the 3rd mexico pro footage show had a bit of this camera angle so it counts as pro. Honestly vocally this is worse than Bucharest, but dance wise this is much better, reminds me of some early 1996 shows like Prague or Seoul. I just love that MJ is giving is all in this performance. 6,5/10 7. Bremen, great vocals, I like the instrumentation, but I don't like the sound mix, and the dancing is equal to Bucharest though the moves have bettter execution and MJ does some cool combos here and there 6,5/10 6. Buenos Aires, better than Bucharest in every way, MJ dances around the same amount as Bucharest but all the moves are way better executed, vocal wise he's better too, by a lot, and them ad libs... damn, that's good shit. 7/10 4. Copenhagen, great energy, great dancing, great moonwalks, bad vocals, alright instrumentation but god awful mix. 8/10 3. Munich, this performance is straight fire, a bit lacking in dancing, but all of the moves are extremely precise, and the vocals, oh my lord eargasmic shit. 8,5/10 2. Cologne, this performance gets better as it goes on, and damn it gets good, the vocals are really strong, almost as good as Munich, MJ dances so much after the first chorus. 8,5/10 1. Oslo, this performance is equally good as Cologne, but, it's always good, it doesn't get better as it goes, it's just always good, the dancing is super smooth, vocals are equally as good if not better than Cologne, I also see MJ smiling a lot here, which I like. 9/10

Please add a moonwalk rating for the next one!

I think Bucharest is pretty meh. And just the whole instrumentation of this performance & the instrumentation of the concert is lacking honestly. It just sounds pretty basic, whoever mixed the concert didn’t really do a great job, the mix needs to be louder and more elements needs present too. I like the performances of BJ with the bigger and higher drums. My favs in terms are Oslo, Bremen and Buenos Aires. Great vid 👌

My opinion rating. Bucharest (10/01/92) Oof.. It sounds like Ricky has a different snare drum which it sounds cool. Instrumentation, on point. The moonwalk which became famous to everyone who saw the DVD version, I love it. Hairstyle and Makeup, ehh... I'm ngl, the little bun is turning me off.. (which is no homo tho). Energy, mehhh, he's making sexy Mike coming back. Vocals, "AOWW!" So distinct, I shall say that. I could portray that from Ludwigshafen and Lausanne. "WOO!" on the RWY legs segment, God I love the Ludwigshafen style here. Camera angles, I prefer the front tower camera moonwalk, and I love all of unedited angles. My rate: 9/10 Bremen (08/08/92) Ricky's snare drum seems quite okay to me. Intro for Bass which is Don Boyette, can you excuse yourself? Instrumentation, would give an 4 cuz why not.. Moonwalk, made me rage happily LMAO. Hairstyle and Makeup, it looks like Munich Bun to me. Energy, since I heard about the virus infection which made him cancel the 3rd night of London, I think it looks like he had one of the good energy which I think he is still sick. Vocals, raspy Mike, satistfying the German public. Camera angles, I'm agreeing with K MJ bcuz, it looks very cringe to the point is just like Munich when it zooms to Mike's face while moonwalking. (Thanks for the zoom out.) My rate: 4/10 Köln (07/11/92) One of my favorite July Billie Jean shows.. Instrumentation, sounds pretty identical to Oslo, Stockholm, Monza (maybe). Moonwalk, is a 9 for me. Hairstyle and Makeup, identical to Oslo, Munich, Stockholm (which is irrelevant to pro footage...) Energy, is not that bad. Vocals, he sounds legit nice here. Camera angles, looks like one of the news reporter or someone found the pro jumbotron footage! My rate: 9.7/10 Oslo (07/15/92) I would love to see a venue like this, where is hot in the summertime, cold in the winter (like the skating rinks), nothing else could possibly be bad about this venue. Instrumentation, I've been talking about it on Köln. Moonwalk, YES! I'm all for it! Hairstyle and Makeup, same thing as I said on Köln. Energy, hell yea! Vocals, FUCK YEA! Camera angles, can I sniff Mike's feet? Just kidding. I just love the fact is daytime, I can see everything like, crew at work, band performing, the lights which they do not light up and have a color (as like the side floodlights and top main floodlights). I just love it. My rate: 8.9/10 Copenhagen (07/20/92) My favorite European city, also K MJ's hometown, I love this venue too. The sky when it turns daytime, it looks like it wad about to rain, like Cardiff. Instrumentation, oh my goodness I love it! Ricky's snare drum sounds so sensational on this unedited jumbotron footage. Moonwalk, is a bon appetite right here. Hairstyle and Makeup, hair almost look like it had the jherri curl (like Thriller era) and makeup looks like Mike is blushing to the point. God I wish I could suck Mike's bloody finger-- Wait, no! My bad. Energy, I think he's tired here, as I can tell about MITM Outro (which is irrelevant in this subject). Vocals, on the after moonwalk segment, he sounds like the album itself, and ate everything here. Camera angles, why do I love this so much?! Besides, I love this concert even though two incidents like Stockholm (17th) and here, Copenhagen.. If is a fail, it still means is thr greatest show ever lived! My rate: 9.3/10 München (06/27/92) Alright, alright. Listen to this! Yes, it is an premiering night, but we gotta talk about everything that was like his first time performing Billie Jean on DWT. Instrumentation, I love the clap effect on Ricky's snare drum and the octapad. And I love David William's groove here. Moonwalk, if anybody says edited version is good, you know your life is like ass. Just kidding. I adore and caress this moonwalk. Hairstyle and Makeup, same thing I said about Copenhagen, it looks like he is blushing. I also love the fact if I see this bun (or messy bun), is gon be 10/10. Energy, healthy Mike in control. Vocals, he sounds so hot here (no homo tho). Camera angles, oh my goodness, is replica! My rate: 9.8/10 Now we're in 1993.. This is the year which he really didn't put the best in himself. (Not the allegations I'm talking about, but that did kill the whole energy here tho.) Buenos Nachos, Aires my bad. Lol (10/12/93) Instrumentation, I'm not saying Isaiah Sanders is bad, bcuz he isn't.. Ricky's snare drum, ughh... Guitars, only thing I love is only Don and David's groove here. Moonwalk, how could you fucking forget your tip toe?! Hairstyle and Makeup, I mean he really does look like his 93 self tho. Energy, I think he was okay. I bet he was a lil but not mighty, tired on this final night in Argentina. Vocals, I don't wanna say it by offense, but fr I thinl he didn't put his best in there.. Camera angles, I love the new angles. My rate: 5.3/10 That's all I got for you all.

The makeup and hairstyle for Bucharest its a 2/10☠️☠️

Don't say noting Joe Morran boekarest is best performance ever history toer he lipsynk ai get it he is human bean no robot chat ap
