As far as the performance goes, am I the only one who hears that they are both singing out of tune at times?
Yeah no big deal, in the big picture it will be forgotten.Quote

It's show biz after all. No big deal.
Some of us will remember the whoha from die hard blues fans when their old heroes were on stage with white middle class British kids.
Didnt do the likes of Muddy, John Lee and the others careers any harm at all.

I don't think the shoes are to give him a couple of inches of height...he seems to perform and dance primarily on the balls of his feet, so the lifts in the back serve an athletic purpose.
His act doesn't bother me...I mean, people gave him shit about performing like that when he in his THIRTIES...then 40s...50s...at this point...ride it to the wheels fall off, baby.
We should all be so lucky to be that healthy at 72.

As a fan of the Stones i have to say i find it a bit awkward now with Jagger. The high heeled trainers (snickers) and wig like hair, its becoming a freak show. A 72 year old trying to be young, rather than just being young at heart, leaves me uneasy about the spectacle. I do wish he would be more honest with his delivery and performance. Robert Plant springs to mind.

In a way I think this kind of thing for Mick is his way of establishing himself as a pop sensation apart from his band. Perhaps making up for the less than superstardom he achieved as a solo artist. I mean who even knows who's in Taylor Swifts band? It's all about the front person with pop music these days and at some level I think Jagger identifies with that concept and might even feel the Stones are just his backing band. A Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones kind of thing. lol

I agree it's all very odd...like Peter Pan - "The Man Never Grew Up".
Indeed he can still 'move like Jagger' when he wants to, and that's fine for some I suppose (preferably at a Stones show),
but just looks strange for a 72 year old to be doing it in front of a bunch of teeny boppers. And the wig like hair and sneakers...odd.

Mick's got mojo coming out of his ears.
Appreciate the utube link.
Taylor sounded flat and off key on Satisfaction, but I'm no musician.
Jagger gets a '10'

That is exactly how he see's it. Himself band leader with the Stones as his band
MJ always goes for the big one of late, Grammys, U2 with Fergie, The White House.
Maximum effect born out of desire to prove and show he Still has it, sadly what he 'has' is becoming an absurd Peter Pan complex.

Pathetic!
It says a lot that Keith is having success all over the globe (his album will be a top 10 hit on the global chart) with a mature understated album for adults, while Mick is trying to get the attention of 14 year old girls.
How long before Keith is ripping Mick in the press over this? And yes I know that the Stones had Taylor Swift up on stage, but I'm 100% convinced that neither Keith nor Charlie had any idea who she was and were simply going along with Mick's wishes.

Sorry James.
Why complaining?
Is Marianne Faithfull more worthy because of..what..?
ATGB rendition with Jagger-Swift duet was a nice duet.
Let's keep the good mood..
Kahoosier is right.. Can we Make it Fun Again

Is it a problem on here for straight talk. If we don't say it as we see it what's the point in saying it at all ??

Micks no fool. This got him as much PR and attention than month's of Keith's PR machinery working overtime.
As much as I may think it's weird for Mick to be shaking his ass at 71 with a 20-something year old on stage I also think it's probably cool for him to be playing his music to this younger audience. If he was up there doing a Taylor Swift tune I might feel a bit differently.
As far as the performance goes, am I the only one who hears that they are both singing out of tune at times? I guess this kind of spectacle isn't really about quality singing as much as posturing, dancing about and getting a rise out of the audience. Like the articles say this is all about watching Jagger perform with Swift because it sure ain't about listening to them making great music together, imo.

Mick Jagger can do what he wants. He did more in 5 minutes to try to ensure the Stones' legacy gets passed on to the kids than Keith ever did. And I should add that Taylor Swift's fan base is more than just 12-year-old girls.
Anyway, the hardcore Aerosmith fans have it harder: her previous guest, Steven Tyler, turned the kids on to Aerosmith. Unfortunately it was with their worst song.
Is that a serious question? Mick is looking at this from a legacy perspective now.Quote

Why do the Stones need or want 15 year old fans
Not so much for running, but for dancing. We all know that Mick studies ballet to keep fit, and a large part of that is foot/ankle strength. Just watch how he uses his feet while moving...very light, almost tip toeing even when he's just walking. He might naturally be a fore/mid foot striker when it comes to his running stride, but having a slight incline probably eases that motion.Quote

Its not just that is it. He is clearly much taller than his band-mates now, as opposed to pictures from previous decades. They certainly do gain height. I am a runner and not a single person from my club wear heeled shoes for an athletic benefit. He is a healthy 72 for sure, but i would rather he concentrated on all aspects of performance. Its not all about being the fastest, ask Mr Richards. Less can be more sometimes, its nice to mix it up a bit. Its not a race to the finish , that bus will pass very soon now for Mr Jagger, and lets face it singing with young girls with terrible voices should be a bus that has long passed for MJ

They're both way off key. Especially Mick. I saw he adjusted his IEM, but seemingly it didn't work..
