Synopsis
In the fall of 1992, Michael Jackson was in the midst of a world concert tour in support of his album Dangerous when he appeared in Bucharest for a show that was videotaped for broadcast on the premium cable network HBO. The show garnered HBO's biggest ratings to date, and became one of the biggest cable music events of the year. Michael Jackson: Live in Bucharest brings this legendary show to home video, with Jackson performing a career-spanning selection of his greatest hits. Songs include "Billie Jean," "Black or White," "I'll Be There," "Human Nature," "Smooth Criminal," "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'," and many more. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Customer Reviews

THIS IS GREAT
I grew when Michael Jackson was the king of the world. He was everywhere and could do no wrong but I was never really a huge fan. After watching this amazing performance however I can now see why he is and always will be `the king of pop' No one can top him when it comes to putting on an incredible show. His expertise and stage presence is simply mesmerising and I must give him props. Plus watching the audience absolutely freak here out is pretty entertaining too.

This concert takes place in Bucharest Romania during the Dangerous Tour and at the height of his popularity in 1992. And except for the cheesy clothing and hairstyles (particularly on the back up dancers) you can barely tell that this concert is now almost 20 years old. The dance moves and music still feel fresh and exciting. MJ performs most of his mainstream hits for the better part of 2 hours in such a way that this show feels like a combination of stage musical and rock concert. Complete with outtakes of music videos including McCauley Culkin and Black Panther, glow in the dark skeletons and coffins (Thriller) and absolutely astounding dance routines (of course.) The audience is insane and almost as much fun to watch as the show itself; screaming, crying, passing out and being taken out by security. At one point Jackson attempts to enter the audience and I was actually scared for him thinking they're going to tear him apart. Its amazing stuff, one forgets just how popular he was back in the day.

My only gripe would be the sound. Michaels vocals sometimes fade in and out, usually at the beginning of a song even though the back-up singers and crowd always sound fine. There's also a considerable amount of lip-synching although that may have something to do with the werewolf costume or all the musical theatre going on. Other than that as a `non-fan' I can highly recommend watching this concert as you will definitely come away with an appreciation for this performer whether you like him or not. I'm just sorry now that I never got to see him live.

Songs included; Main Title, Jam, Wanna be Startin Something, Human Nature, Smooth Criminal, I Just Can't Stop Loving You, She's Out Of My Life, I Want You Back/The Love Save, I'll Be There, Black Or White, Heal The World, and Man In The Mirror.
