With the new Michael movie on the way, I wanted to revisit what made his stage performances so mesmerising. We all know the studio version, but live he becomes something entirely different. If you have never watched a full live clip of Michael before, this one is astounding. As a British vocal coach, I explore how his jagged, precise vocal delivery and razor sharp movement create that iconic feeling of control and danger. Each consonant snaps like a drumbeat, every phrase sits right on the edge of unleashing something wild, and his use of vocal textures adds a sense of tension that keeps you on the edge of your seat. From the gritty arytenoid rattle that gives him that gangster-like tone to the fluttery vibrato in his high notes, his voice becomes both a rhythmic instrument and a storytelling tool. This performance is a masterclass in containment, energy, and theatrical intensity. It is so polished that it feels as if it could crack at any moment, which makes it electrifying to watch. ___________________________________________________________________________________ 🎶 Free 5-Minute Vocal Warm-Up! 🎤 Get your voice ready to sing fast.
