Well then throw in the fact that he DIDNT know the exact address, the house had no landlines, and seemed no one else was around till he ran down and told the chef to get security who then made the 911 call. Strange.

Will.I.Am talks MJ & Prince

-----

It's from a German magazine. He played with Prince on stage and watched the rest of the show with MJ

Here is the translation I found:



Quote:
Sp: You've also worked with Prince? The man has shocked the recording industry, by giving away his new CD in Great Britain for free with a newspaper.

Will.i.am: A visionaire. I performed with him. A few months ago,I was with the Black Eyed Peas in Las Vegas. Prince calls me, he played in a Casino and asks ", you want to perform with me tonight?" Sure, I say, of course! On the next day his assistant called me and said: "Prince would like to know if you want to come along this evening too." Want to? What's more cool than to play with Prince? Right, to play with him two days in a row! A few minutes later I get a further call: "Hey, it's Mike, wat are you doing?" Mike? Michael Jackson? Wow! He had changed studios at that time, from Ireland to Las Vegas. I say: "Hey, I'm playing with Prince here tonight." - "Prince? That is great!" - "you should come!" - "really? That would be cool!" - "that would be really cool!" - "Okay, I'll come." Imagine that : I'm playing with Prince, and Michael Jackson sits in the audience! Holy ish! What chance is there to get a call from Prince and then one from Michael Jackson within ten minutes ?


Sp: that chance is zero.

Will.i.am: Right. Okay, I head for the concert in the early evening and - get stuck in traffic! I think by myself, @#$%, this is the worst time to be stuck ! So I jump out of the car and start to run. I make it at the last second into the club. Everything goes smoothly, after three minutes I 'm back from the stage, Prince still yells in the microphone "Give it up for Will.i.am!", I creep into the hall and sit down to the table of - Michael Jackson. So he really came! "What did you think of me?", I ask him. He answers: "I did not know that you rapped." Now I ask you? The man lets me fly to bloody Ireland for a few photographs , and he doesn't even know that I am not only a producer, but also a rapper! I say: "Have you never heard my music, or looked at my videos? I @#$#%' am the main rapper of the Black Eyed Peas!" Anyways. Besides Michael Jackson sits the actor Chris Tucker, and then Prince comes down from the stage to us...


Sp: ... and sees Michael Jackson sitting at the table with you?

Will.i.am: Yo. He had his bass still strapped on and stops at our table. So there we sit : Michael Jackson, Chris Tucker and I. Prince stands directly before Michael Jackson and improvises on the bass: Slap! He does nothing- nothing! - and says nothing! Simply plays . What a scene! When Prince is again back on stage, Michael Jackson says to me: "Prince played his bass in the middle of my face! What's up with that?" Now now, I say: "you are finally incognito here! Imagine that Prince would have said: ', and by the way Michael Jackson sits here.' The people are already excited because of Prince, let alone, they would know that you are also here!" Yep, that was it then, the craziest night of my life.
Sp: And when you tell this story, nobody believes you.

Will.i.am: I would not even believe it! But I have to say: It is true. Each word. The next morning I had breakfast with Michael Jackson, we worked a bit on songs together - and that was the last time that I have seen him.

It was real windy out there that day and that bitch's blonde hair was blowing in the wind like one of those models in a photo shoot that have a fan blowing their hair.

If a child shows his little ass, he needs to get his ass whipped. If you don't whip it, he'll be spitting in your face later. But there's discipline and there's abuse. My mother, grandmother, aunts, and uncles used to whip my little ass when I acted up and I deserved it because I was a mean little devil. But my father used to beat it. There's a difference in whipping and beating.

hey, you!

Yeah, eff that b!

optimus said:

So I'm confused. Was Michael in disguise? How could people not know he was there. I don't really understand what Will.i.am is saying

vainandy said:

LOL, well my father used to beat my ass. I think mothers giving "whoopins" and fathers give "beatins". It's just the way it is

it seems that these poor children asked to see their father in the ER after he passed and was granted their wish. poor kids...

Fans have had it out for her since 2003. I stopped the media then because she had "experts" who would be on other shows saying one thing but then show up on her program practically echoing what she said

I'm still wondering why none of the fans haven't mollywhopped her or Diane Dimond's asses. They get enough threats from the fans I'm not talking about "we're gonna kill you" kind. I'm talking about "Don't let us see you chillin' outside cuz we will whoop dat ass"

I stayed blocking the phone from my mom during the trial so she wouldn't call in and cuss her out

Evvy said:

i don't see anything wrong with that. it's sad, sure, but people are brought up to deal with grief in different ways and if seeing his body helped them in some way, then i'm glad they were given permission. PERSONALLY, i'm just the opposite. when someone dies, the body is just a shell to me and i don't want to look at it because it just reminds me of all the pain that the person is finally free of. like i said, everyone's different...

WillIAm said:

that's just awesome

But did your father call you a fag or a nigger lover on a daily basis while the beatings were occuring? I'm sure my father had a personal agenda that he was going to "straighten me out" no matter how much my mother and her family was "ruining me". Who knows what else was said to Michael by his father when the cameras weren't rolling. Of course, we'll never know because he would never admit it but I can see him saying horrible things to him. When I see him, I feel like I'm looking at a black version of my own father. I can't explain it, it's just a feeling I get.

errant said:

i remember reading about this. that must've been a total "clutch the pearls" moment for michael.

Children immitate their parents. When his siblings teased him about his nose, I'm sure they had probably heard their father do it first. And everybody jokes around and teases from time to time but when you see that a particular joke strikes a nerve in the child, it's time for that particular joke to stop. And it's up to the parent to notice it struck a nerve and stop it, not encourage it. I can just see Joe now...."Aw hell, that will help make a man out of him".

suga10 said:

on MSNBC they stated that Michael had lots of doctors, this one was hired in May and just happened to be on the scene. it was the guard on duty, i don't think he had any role but the other doctors he may have been doctor shopping probably had a bigger role.

That being said, I wouldn't be promoting anything in two months or something after a famous relative died.

vainandy said:

plus being teased by your siblings and by your parents are different. its normal for siblings to tease and make fun of each other, but for a parent to do it is cruel. my brother made fun of me for being chubby. but it never really got to me cause he is my brother. now if my mother had called me fat , that would hurt

man...joe jackson comes from a different time, a different dimension, a different universe altogether.

he kinda reminds me of old mister in the color purple. there's that whole code of hardness and a disdain for sentiment that means you're a real man, and you push your children as hard as they can be pushed, and then you push some more.

i think it's something that might have at least been considered normal back in the old timey days, but for us in the here and now, it just makes him look like an evil old man (not that he isn't...i'm just sayin').

bboy87 said:

Yeah, Diane Dimond is definitely on my list of people I'd like to disappear. I'm being nice. I'd like to punch her in the face. I can now add Dr. Conrad Murray to that growing list.

Anxiety said:

He remind me of Big Red from "The Five Heartbeats" for some weird reason.

JackieBlue said:

I remember someone putting a hit out on Diane back in 1994 and I think again in 2005. She lives pretty anonymous these days....in New Mexico

vainandy said:

Michael was disciplined like all his brothers and sisters were. Michael said he didn't get disciplined as much as everyone else did because Joe used him as the example ("Do the dance like Michael") and growing up in black family, I don't know what child didn't get disciplined.
