He can definitely sing live. There’s no doubt about that. He’s just always been introverted as hell and never been a natural entertainer or performer. Don’t think anyone should have been expecting him to buss out moves like Beyoncé etc, but that’s what most of the people who didn’t enjoy it seem to be picking on
That said, I think even the best of performers would have struggled putting on a show infront of a half empty stadium, while trying to follow safety guidelines and having no actual stage on the central field or guests.
The sound is much better on the YouTube video at least, so it’s just the awkward MJ moves that he loves to try do that brings it down abit
