The Most Terrifying Two Minutes of Michael Jackson’s Career

Despite the plastic surgery, the drug problem, the boy addiction, the scariest thing about Michael Jackson was something that was perhaps the most public: his stage presence. Watching a man standing before hundreds of thousands of people, command and welcome their worship with outstretched arms and air kisses is startling. Watching that same man stand completely frozen like a Madame Tussaud figure in aviator shades and military garb for almost two minutes, amongst the roaring din of devotion, is terrifying. Heebee jeebies after the jump.
