Who is that guy on the right?! OMG he's cute. Jackie's still got it though.

That's Jamie King - the creative director / choreographer for the show.

BTW inside word is that unlike The Beatles Love show most of music for the MJ show will be by a live band using some of the crew from This Is It.

Also love that Image of MJ for the announcement. It's classic MJ mystique.

Thanks.

Hey guys, bit of a random question; I was wondering where in Neverland parts of the Bashir interview had taken place, like at the beginning where he is laughing at Bashir's accent and surrounded by music equipment? Is that also where he is sitting at the piano later on? Where in Neverland is that??

Just got back from seeing 2 prince shows in LA. Both nights (Fri/Sat) he perfromed DSTYGE - with Sat's version getting a reprise after Cool. - prince informed the band to "go back to Michael" and you could see Prince getting into the groove of the song. He called out that he had seen MJ at the forum, and it seems now with Michael's passing Prince is able to be more open about his respect for him.

If he had played DSTYGE when MJ was alive you'd get fans suggesting his ripping him off, now I guess it's seen as a nod and tribute from one musical genius to another.

Reportedly on the Thursday night he played Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' / Cool instead.

That´s sweet.

Very cool. He did play DSTYGE even when Mike was alive though. As well as Billie Jean.

What else is new I wish they use their brain more so we can see the Jackson variety show on DVD as well. The only thing that really pissed me off was the This Is it film pure cash in I don’t care what nobody say.

[Edited 4/27/11 13:10pm]

Most of the stuff put out is pure cash. That's all they care about: money. Not the artistic value of his music and entertainment. Also they're putting a legendary R&B producer's reputation in jeopardy by having him accept money to produce a Michael Jackson album without Michael Jackson's actual vocals.

Teddy is doing that to himself. He knows they aren't Michael's vocals. $$$

Teddy Riley's a bitch. 'No one can do that scream like Michael'... what scream was that Teddy? The one you sampled from pre-existing Michael Jackson songs? I hope he can sleep at night!

Prince rocks! Such a class act.

Turn down the BS and just enjoy your view of the angel.

Yeah I know - but it seems lately with playing WBSS, and SYBDTTG as well as DSTYGE that Prince is now being more open about his respect for MJ.

BTW I am reading the book Chaos and Disorder and an interesting tid-bit is that the Batman soundtrack was initially envisioned by Tim Burton as being a soundtrack by both Prince AND MJ - with MJ taking on the lighter aspect of the film and Prince the darker.

Arnie Klein: My Buddy Was NOT Michael’s Lover

Dr. Arnold Klein — the dermatologist who loomed large in Michael Jackson’s life — has now changed his story and says his good friend and office manager — Jason Pfeiffer — did NOT have an affair with Michael Jackson.

Klein had told TMZ … Michael was gay but that Jason’s alleged relationship with MJ was the only gay relationship MJ ever had. Klein also said Jason was “the love of [Michael's] life.”

But now on his Facebook page, Klein says “Allegations about … Jason being Michael Jackson’s lover are ridiculous. That story was made up … ”

Klein also scoffs at allegations he contributed to MJ’s death, saying, “I made two interventions on Michael’s Propofol Abuse myself …”

So another fine example of what kind of person Klein is… yeah… lying scum.

Am I the only one who wants to slap the white outta his ass? This is gettin' ridiculous!

I bet next he'll pull a Jason Malachi and say my account was hacked. GTFO! We all know Michael wasn't gay. And if he was, he'd bang better than Jason's ugly ass.

Case closed.

I know that's right.

Shall we begin petitioning?

Just something my friend tagged me in. She got it off Tumblr...but it's worth sharing...

Michael Jackson was a man. He was not feminine - and no, he was not gay. The man totally defied typical American conventions of masculinity and sexuality, and people still don’t know how to process someone like him. Just because a man is slim and not “ripped”, just because he doesn’t objectify women, just because he has a soft speaking voice, just because he’s shy, just because he is pretty, just because he isn’t afraid to be silly and act like a kid, just because he writes lovely songs about healing the world instead of writing about how juicy some bitch’s ass is, just because he doesn’t have a new woman hanging on his shoulder every week — does NOT make him any less of a MAN; does NOT make him feminine. He stood up for what he believed in - always. Even when what he believed in drew ridicule, scorn, hatred from thousands of people. He respected everyone, regardless of race, religion, color, gender, sexuality. He gave thousands upon thousands of dollars to charity without a word to anyone - no bragging, no flaunting. He did it because he cared. He loved his mother, his kids, his family. He loved and even respected his father after openly admitting to the entire world that he beat him and told him things a father should never tell his son. And let’s not forget the fact that millions (millions!) of women all over the world lusted after him, fainted for him, would have given anything to be in his presence. RESPECT, DIGNITY, PRIDE, COMPASSION - he had all of these things in spades.

If that isn’t a real man, then I don’t want a real man.

Can I hear an Amen?

Question for all those old enough to remember when "Thriller" came out.

"Thriller", the single, was released as the 7th single from the album, 14 months or so after the release of the album. Would it be fair to say that everybody pretty much already knew the song before the video came out? Was radio already playing the song a lot based on the overall success of the album already? Or did radio ONLY play the singles, and thus when "Thriller" the single came out, it was still quite new for a lot of people?

Impossible for me to say really, I became a fan the morning after the Thriller video was televised.
