I am going through TII and dissecting it as a review in order to record the missing lyrics as well as make notes on footage of the real Michael Jackson as opposed to fake MJ(s) and transcript noteworthy things that the real Michael Jackson and other players in the movie say.
The real Michael Jackson appears to be always wearing the red lion shirt with the added 7s. He has his ear pieces in to begin the movie with a left headset and later holds a hand mic. He adds shirts and jackets over this red shirt throughout the course of the movie.
The fake MJ is wearing sunglasses and a variety of outfits. He sometimes appears in the red lion shirt but lacks 7s. He sometiems has earpieces in but if they are out it is noted, or a left side headset.
This project will be posted in multiple pieces in chronological order. For most purposes I will record the lyrics and words that the real Michael Jackson DOES sing/say if he appears in a song, and the lyrics that the fake MJ DOES NOT "sing" when he appears in a song excluvely or nearly exclusively. If you have any feedback for me or questions on things I may have missed or not noted, please ask. This project has gotten very large and I am doing my best to be as thorough as posible.
Any changes to the above general rules that are discovered as I go along will be edited as needed.
Ok let's dig into TII.
Start of movie.
Kenny:
We'll create a spectacular opening with pyrotechnics, and we want some sizzles and some cracks and some pops, we have our video and it's called glimpses and flashes, and that's where light man comes out on a gantry, floating above the stage, and he'll just be dazzling in video information, and piece by pice by piece by piece, MJ is revealed until he jumps out, and on Michael's command, we begin...
Wanna Be Startin Somethin'
Sung nearly entirely by Fake MJ. Brief glimpses of the real Michael Jackson wearing red 7s shirt with gret suit coat over it.
Lyrics that the real Michael Jackson DOES sing:
It's Too High [/hard] To Get Over
You're Stuck In The Middle
Too Low To Get Under
You're Stuck In The Middle
It's Too High To Get Over
Cuts directly to Speechless:
Fake MJ, headset left side.
The verse sang here leaves out these two lines:
But I have not the words here to explain
Gone is the grace for expressions of passion
Cut to O2 footage.
Back to Wanna Be Starting Something.
Fake MJ/Real Michael Jackson split screen.
Real Michael sings:
You Got To Be
It's Too High [/hard] To Get Over
Too Low To Get Under
You're Stuck In The Middle

Cut to Bad/Smooth Criminal/Don't Stop Til You Get Enough/Smooth Criminal/Bad in backround for dancer selections.
Dancer coach:
The idea is to get the big fish from all over the world and put them in the same pond.
Everything is bigger and more intense in his world.

edit:
It's Too High [/hard] To Get Over
You're Stuck In The Middle
Too Low To Get Under
You're Stuck In The Middle
It's Too High To Get Over
These lines are left out of the middle of the verse fake MJ sings of Speechless directly in the middle of WBSS.
But I have not the words here to explain
Gone is the grace for expressions of passion
Michael is done talking (song) about healing the world, perhaps that why he is showing (movie) us.
You Got To Be
It's Too High [/hard] To Get Over
Too Low To Get Under
You're Stuck In The Middle
At the very end of Wanna Be Startin Somethin,
help me
Reference to the heal the world theme?
