I didn't know until I watched "This is it" that it was really different. If anything in this world deserves to be called "grand", then MJ's concert is one of them. Compared with it, other concerts are simply rudimentary.
Large screens, elaborate videos, moving heads, scaffolding erected on the stage, real forklifts as props, elevators ejecting people... In addition to conventional fireworks, lights, fans, all kinds of means, timely Use it to match the emotional atmosphere of the song, making the entire stage and the entire venue a dreamy place; carefully choreographed dances, selected dancers and accompanists help his songs to be grand, weird, intense, or soulful Effect. The most important protagonist is of course MJ himself, every song, he goes all out, whether singing or dancing, to express exactly and perfectly how he wants to feel.
This is not all, this is just something that any concert will do, except that what he does is more extreme than others, no one can achieve the extreme. What makes his concerts a masterpiece is his deep familiarity with his own songs, his pursuit of excellence, and his familiarity with every articulation and technique of stirring the audience's emotions. The latter makes him more than just a singer. , and a mass psychologist. In the film that chronicles his rehearsals, he constantly tinkers with the nuances of each song—in this place, two more bars; in this place, extending the length of the solo; in this place, repeating the last line , repeat, repeat... Those additions and deletions all made their songs more provocative. He not only has a very keen sense of how to make the climax continue and go even higher, but also has the desire and action to try and pursue perfection. At the end of each song, it is actually a sentence, an action and an action. Grind out section by section, polished until it is mature and brilliant, polished to the point where every sound, every movement, every light and shadow becomes a feather that provokes the audience, appearing step by step and rhythm, bringing people to the highest level, to a self. Unimaginable world.
At the end of the movie, it was the mobilization meeting for the MJ team to finish the rehearsal and prepare for the tour. On this occasion, MJ said to the teammates: "They (audience) want to escape from reality, we have to take them to a place where they have never been there. The place." He is too clear, too clear about the realm his works want to achieve and the way to achieve it, he is really a master, born for the audience. He really lives up to the "King of Pop" honor.
I've never seen MJ's concerts, I've only seen some video clips, and intermittent news, and saw his fans go crazy, coma, and even trampled to death. I couldn't understand it before, and now I know how this is done and that it can be done. It is also now that I finally know what the world has lost when he leaves.
