We saw a few images of Michael Jackson rehearsing for his tour on June 23, and we now have a short video from his performance just two days before he passed away. The video shows Michael singing "They Don't Care About Us" as he dances on stage. It's an ironic song to hear as the world continues to mourn his loss and we celebrate his life with ongoing tributes and his funeral next week.

He seemed to be in great shape. After watching the video it's hard to believe he was 50. He looks more like a 30 yr old.
1Brangle, I have to disagree. He had no where near the energy that we are used to seeing MJ exhibit. Also, He was very winded and was heavy breathing after very easy and undemanding dance moves. I can see where he was not the MJ we once knew on stage.
2I would like to see another performance before I come to a conclusion. I feel that the choreography for this song was fairly mellow. I am not sure if it was mellow b/c his energy level is down or just because of the song. It was still a nice piece though.
3He looked rather healthy to me, but it just goes to show you never know. I'm still in shock he was way too young! I will miss his performing very much!
4so so sad....
5i think he looks great the energy is low because its a rehersal and we don't know if that was the 1st time they went through the routine or the 100th.
6i really going to miss him =(
I do like Michael so much. So sad that he died. Nobody took care of him when he was alive.People around him used him to have money. Though in the video he wasn't the same MJ like he used to during the 80's or 90's but, he is still doing well in the video. I would have brought a ticket if his concert will be here in the US.
7not like before but, not bad for a 50yr old making a comeback..May you rest in peace sweety...we will miss you.
8I don't see him look winded at all in this video. This just seems lowkey choreography, which is ideal for this number.
He was an amazing performer. We'll probably never see the likes of him again. The guy was just unbelievable.

I agree.
10To bad:He's not here anymore to perform.I would have loved to see him in his concert after more than 10 years of absence in the concert scene.His music is really different.MAkes your body jam with the rhytm.
11I don't think we can really tell if "he was very winded and heavy breathing" from this short video. I think he looked good, and the energy is probably what you'd expect from rehearsing. As someone said, we don't really know if he had already gone through this song 10 times before.
12he lost his sparks....rest in peace Michael. Its sad Fawcett and Karl Malden also deserve lots of attention....
13This is very sad; I've looking forward to see footages and pics of his upcoming London concert.
14with energy or without it.. i think we all agree that he didnt look like he was going to die two days later.. but that stuff happens.. to bad it was him
15I loved seeing his smile at the end.
16Me, too, angelaminx! I was wondering if anybody else caught that. God, this whole thing is so sad!
17He`s bloody amazing, thats a fact!
18oh no it's looks great...which just makes it worse! can i just say that even his backing dancers looked puffed-out not just michael. he's still got the moves.
19Well hopefully, since the last full dress rehersal was recorded, some one will release it on DVD to the public. even without a crowd in the background would be awesome to have as a final piece.
20I'm still extremely sad~It's heart breaking to watch this. He looked fine as it was just a rehearsal no one would put all energy into a rehearsal.
21I love him as a human being, a child-inside adult. I hope in the other world, people know how to appreciate such a lovely person. R.I.P Michael.
I am agree with that he lacked with energy level.....easyniess of his dance moves we saw in his performances is no more there....but he is still lukin as young as ever........MICHAEL the whole world will miss u......we love u....
22He looks good
23it reminds me like a bad batman video where he plays the joker .... realy awful!!!
24he was a hero, so many people grew up with him and wanted to be him, its no good to say bad things about those who have passed away, who will remeber you (to the last comment) not more than half the world thats for sure, RIP MJ

i AM SO SAD FOR HIM AND WHAT HE HAD LEFT TO EXPLORE. IF ONLY HE COULD HAVE KNOWN HOW AMAZING
HE WAS!!!
26Is that the same guitar player that killed it onstage with Carrie Underwood? She's amazing.
I would give anything to be one of the dancers on his tour. That would be a dream job.
27I think that Michael looked great!! Don't forget it depends on the song too!! It's not "Beat It"!! Also it was a rehearsal!! Come on...
28He wasn't tired. It was a rehearsal. What Michael was doing is what we dancers call "spotting". He was spotting his moves. He can't rehearse full tilt 3 hours a day every day. That would be quite mad for any dancer no matter what the shape to do that.
29He looks overall pretty good. I think this particular set of choreography seemed more low key overall. Either way, if you consider he was 50 and hadn't been on tour for years he looked GREAT. He looked just as great as a majority of the performers out there today, but it wasn't what we remember seeing Michael perform 10-20 years ago. May he now rest in peace. What an amazing artist, singer, and person. Can you imagine enduring what he did his whole life-- all I can say is Michael was amazing.
30The show would have been just as good as when he was younger. This is beautiful and at the same time sad to see.
31I think the dancing fitts the song . I loved his music . thats all there is to say he was a little strange because none knew who he was in person . But he is a legend
32gonna miss you Mike!!! King of Pop forever and beyond!!!
33I think I still felt the old michael jackson. Obviously the song is not supposed to be vigorous and I am sure most stars don't put all their energy in rehearsal but again like someone said we don't know for how long they had rehearsed the song.
34whether he had the old energy or not I would give anything to make him come back on stage and perfom one more last time. God, Why, Why!!!Great soul will be greatly missed.
35I really hope that there is a life after death. This man deserves to be happy and at peace with life somewhere. I really loved him. I hope the kids are just fine I know its gonna be hard.
36I love this clip I keep playing it over and over .Lets hope God will bless his kids. And we hope Mikey can see how much people loved him even though we made fun of him and it took his death for us to know how much we miss and love him and appreciate his music. Hope he is with the Angels looking down on us.We love u an rest in peace.
37This video is all we can hang on to.Its a powerful clip. R.I.P MJ.
38Does anyone know who the "Blond" guitar player is? Sorry "OGW"....you are not my type.
39Great song, Great entertainer and Orianthi Panagar from Australia is on guitar.
40Man I wish he was still here.
41MJ...YOU SHALL BE HUGELY IMMENSELY TOTALLY MISSED... REST IN PEACE.
“In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe.”- MJ
“If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with.”- MJ
YOU MAY BE GONE IN BODY ...BUT YOUR SOUL, YOUR AMAZING MUSIC, YOUR DANCE, YOUR TALENT AND WONDERFUL MEMORIES REMAIN IN OUR HEARTS FOR ETERNITY...
R.I.P. and god bless!
42The greatest entertainer and a great person. He rose from nowhere, still living in thousands of heart. Remember he is the record holder for the most charities in the pop world. A curtain raiser for the pop world..................we love u michael, as a pop king and a person............
43KING OF POP REST IN PEACE.LOVE YOU FOR EVER.
44ooohhhh yes i did see the smile. that made me happy to see it concidering how sad that its his last video. gbu rip
45total pain and at the end, as a dancer you can see on his face he is going through agony. Will always admire his dancing performers what a great dancer
46OMG! Did he smile at the very end?
47He seemed happy.
That video is really kinda ghostly and the smile at the end to me looked like a ghost fading away it kinda spooky
48yokluğundan sonra sanki biraz daha eksildim..dünya üzerinden ne büyük bir enerjiymişsin..senin yokluğunla dünyayı saran o büyük enerjide kayboldu. Hayatın aslında acı doluydu hep bir tarafın yani kaybettiğin çocukluğunu arar gibiydin inan bana seni anlıyorum yalnızlık zor ve umarım şimdi gittiğin yerde yalnızlığına o kaybettiğin çocukluk sana arkadaşlık ediyordur..insanları sevmeyi çok iyi bilen iyi yüreklim mj seni çok özleyeceğim..mutlukal...
49kalbimde kalacaksın see you...
