No shame here, CP. I was completely backing up the notion that Michael Jackson, with his Thriller and Beat It videos - and by extension his live show - clearly begat the era of spectacular "music" concerts where synchronized choreography takes precedent of the actual performing of the music. Maybe MJ wasn't lip-syncing, but most of the arena-filling performers that followed him did. And that's crap.

And I'm saying that as someone who respects Justin and counts himself a fan of Madonna and Beyonce.
