I could not possibly agree more with all of this. With @SmoothCriminal1995's original comment about it and your response (and your response to your response lol). I have absolutely rewound the moment he takes the mic off the stand in the Wembley performance of TWYMMF many times. He slips it off and then immediately does this lean and His Curls™ fall to the side and the swagger is just . I would welcome hell to swallow me into its pits just to enjoy that moment on loop for eternity. Not sure why that would be the trade off. Point is, I'm addicted to TWHMMFSorry to keep banging on about this but I didn't pay enough attention to this specific bit. Yes, I love the way he handles the mike generally. He is a master at it. But this specific thing, the exact moment he takes the mike off the stand? It is way beyond 'swagger', imo. I don't have a word for it. All I can say is, the number of times I've done a rewind just to watch him remove the mike.
It's not ridiculous. How many people have been performing for decades, but remove a mic from a stand, like it is just a mic and a stand and like life is meaningless and we are all going to die someday, which is of course true, but none of that matters when you are watching Michael remove a mic from a standIt's the way he can do it mid-performance - which sounds ridiculous, I know. He's been doing it since he was a kid. Of course he can do it mid-performance, lol.
But, like, I want this essay. What is wrong with me? lolBut he def has ... um, do you know what? I'd better stop. This is going to turn into an essay, I can feel it.
WOMAN PLEASE!!The way he does it in Things I Do For You ...
