Jackson shines in bizarre concert
By NEKESA MUMBI MOODY AP Music Writer
NEWYORK — Michael Jackson's 30-year career as a solo artist has encompassed everything from the truly brilliant to the utterly bizarre. The same could be said about his star-studded anniversary concert — a surreal, yet undeniably captivating evening.
Friday's Madison Square Garden concert marked Jackson's first performance on U.S. soil in more than a decade, during which time he's seen his once-dominant presence on the American music scene decline.
But if there was any doubt about Jackson's star power, it was erased as a capacity crowd — some of whom had paid up to $2,500 per ticket — waited anxiously for a glimpse of the self-styled King of Pop.
Though the night's lineup included the likes of Brittney Spears, Destiny's Child, Ray Charles and Liza Minnelli, it was Jackson who created the most frenzy, even before uttering a single note.
The concert kicked off with two of R&B's brightest young stars, Usher and Mya, singing Jackson's "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin" in an extravagant, jungle-themed dance number. Though Usher has modeled himself as Jackson's heir apparent, he lacked Jackson's spark, while Mya's lightweight voice could barely be heard over the music.
The concert crashed to a low as Marlon Brando took to the stage, his large frame resting on a couch.
Though the crowd cheered at just the sight of the Oscar-winning actor, they soon became bewildered as Brando sent the next few minutes mumbling about child poverty, abuse and disease.
It was moments like those that would plague the three-hour-plus concert until Jackson took the stage. For every truly entertaining moment there were truly cringe-inducing moments that made you want to close your eyes until they were over.
But those moments were temporarily forgotten once Jackson appeared on the stage. Though the sight of him was at times jarring—his pale, surgically altered face seems incapable of showing much expression anymore—his presence was formidable.
First performing together with his brothers for the first time since their 1984 "Victory" tour, he dazzled the audience with each shimmy or yelp. The highlight was the group's performance of "I'll Be There," which showcased Jackson's soulful interpretation of the classic.
Even a cameo appearance by 'N Sync during "Dancing Machine" couldn't upstage the electricity of just the brothers performing together.
Then it was time for Jackson to shine, alone. Anyone expecting Jackson to reinvent himself artistically would be disappointed. The only new material from Jackson came as he performed his new single, "You Rock My World" the first release from his upcoming album, Inincible.
