Meise, that is the point: they have an unfair, bad reputation, and do not deserve it. And you don't have to be ashamed. Maybe this prejudge comes both from theirs once-upon-a-time peroxyde hairs and because late Lady Di was a big fan (Charles was more Status Quo...). Who cares?

Some wilful fans said - very politely - "bullshit" about a recent comment I did on the 70 tour boots and this once-called "lost tour". I am sure there are right about the new sources.

With all due respect to pilgrins, I cannot help to compare - on a pure technical ground - the both queues, one to pay a last rememberance to the pope, the others to have a ticket or to be front row. Well, it seems the flock surpass the fans in term of endurance : 24 hours waiting plus 3 millions expected to the funeral. I admire these faithfuls, but it is a bit scaring too.

I fully agree: there is a big difference before 1989 and from 1989 till now. I paste below an interesting article from Wikipedia Mick started to sing with a middle voice, blending head voice (what you call throat) and chest voice (what you call lung) Since 1989, he "blows" when singing, meaning he adopted a full chest voice, which is also the way the professional male singe

MJ crushes the song's melody, here. Powerful, but flat. He does not risks himself in frail, high tunes like in the studio version. Is ADTL particulary difficult to sing live? Or must we put the blame on the passing years?
