Jacko: The Final Curtain Call

Michael Jackson didn't have much to say when he finally hit the makeshift stage at the O2 Arena this afternoon.

The press conference for his big comeback was scheduled for 11am, EST but went off at 12:42pm. The reason given: Jackson's van was stuck in traffic in Blackwall Tunnel between London and the arena.

Jackson strode into the Arena looking pretty healthy considering all the reports of his near death or fatal illnesses. Indeed, his face looked recently refreshed by cosmetic surgery, which would explain the many pictures of him with scarves and bandages. His mouth and chin are now more reminiscent of Steven Tyler. With the hair, he could also be confused with Carly Simon. But it's Jacko, he's wacko, and he's backo.

In his few minutes on stage he told the crowd of fans that he loved them and that he'd see them in July. He also promised to sing all the songs they loved. Other than that, Jackson had nothing else to say except that he wasn't "kidding" and this would be his "final curtain call."

But Jackson must say that to sell the number of tickets required to make this effort a success. His worldwide fans must be convinced that they will never have a chance to see him again. But in reality Jackson - who wouldn't know the truth if it moonwalked on him - said it was last appearance in London. Whatever.

Now producer AEG Live has to ensure that ticket sales take off like a rocket. To do that they've taken over total sponsorship this Sunday of "Dancing on Ice," on Britain's ITV Network. The producer will show a three minute clip of Jackson's videos, touting the shows. Let's just hope that Jackson himself isn't skating on thin ice.

He needs to do a few final performances in the USA. If he's smart, he'll do that and not shut out his American fans.

He could barely get a word in

when will tickets will be on sale?

This Is It may be funny, but I can see the puns coming. Let him sing playback, let him dance badly and it will be called: This is shit.

But he always had such titles. Calling an album (the most awaited album of the 80s?) BAD was brave, and let's think of all the "funny" remarks like: He's no thriller anymore, he's completely off the wall. Kids should beat it before MJ gets them coz he's dangerous...

It will be very sad. The shows themselves will be very sad.
Michael will lipsynch.
Michael will do they same whack moves.
Michael will try (yet again) to recapture the glory days of Thriller.

I was a huge MJ fan for 20 years of my life. I even saw him & his brothers perform at the Garden in NYC back in 2001. Terrible performance. He was lipsynching to vocals he recorded 20 years earlier. I mean, c'mon...if you are going to lipsynch, re-record the vocal track at least. If I wanted to hear the album, I could've stayed home.

Prince is a true Artist & Entertainer.

Michael is so out of touch with performing, well, like I said, it will be very sad.

Sadly, I think your predictions about MJ will be proved right!

And yes, the 2001 performances were bad. That was eight years ago and since then he hasn't perfomed "live" once. Seems unlikely he'll be better now than at MSG, and he'll likely be worse. Maybe I'll be proven wrong but I know which way I'd bet.
