MTV Video Music Awards to me. Legendary. The entire piece is up there as one of his very best performances IMO. I think it's my favourite even.

MTV is legendary, but I like the AMA as more of the song is performed and there's choreography that was cut from the rest of the performances. I also liked how experimental he got with the Dangerous performances on MJ & Friends, although I'm not sure it translated well to a stadium.

I like this version way better than the MTV version

MTV Video Music Awards to me. Legendary. Despite all the revisions after this one, the VMAs is the definitive version. I appreciate the 93 version, and the 1999/2002 performances but the VMAs is just flawless. 96/97 never had the same "snap" in the delivery as this one.

I always found it pretty boring on the HIStory tour. Bad fan confession - I didn't even know MJ performed it at all on the Dangerous tour until recently.

It would have worked after Smooth Criminal better than after Beat It I think.

And that’s actually my favourite performance of it; Dangerous Tour 93! It includes the bridge “My baby left me here tonight...” which I love. I do love the evolution of it as a performance and choreography aswell though.

I especially like that slow motion robotic move he does during the “My baby left me here tonight” part for the AMA’s. Love it. And also the tour rehearsals are great!

Wow. This thread is a revelation to me.
I never knew he performed Dangerous before the '95 VMAs. And what a performance! That was his best ever.
It always irked me how much they played with the songs structure, but with this one you get the best of both worlds. The routine is sublime & you get the full song, including the bridge as well as the 'Dangerous (dangerous)' refrain.
Those moves on the last verse though!! Brilliant.

As much as I love the way he evolved it I tend to agree. I prefer getting the full song because those parts add sooo much to the song.

And also the tour rehearsals are great! Love those tour rehearsals! I could happily watch rehearsal footage for the rest of my life. Would love official Victory, Bad, Dangerous and HIStory tours with full rehearsal discs. 😎
