Thanks mate, but it was MJ's vocals I was hoping to hear up close and personal, not the girl's.

It was my cousin booking the tickets, but i bet that if I did it, I´d end up the same way. I always have this bad luck when it comes to Mike. I always go somewhre to see him and I hardly ever do while some other fans even get into his hotel apartment. And the closest I got to him at an event was at the Thriller Killer party. I was almost in the first row on the right, but for 2 hours Mike was sitting in the right balcony right above me so I couldn´t see him and when he got onstage, his stupid bodyguard was in the way so I couldn´t see him most of the time anyway. i was like . At the Prague concert, I got the most expensive seating tickets while all the 150 000 people were standing in front of us. And now, here we go again.

Were you were looking forward in getting into his hotel suite?

suga10 said:

These 2 pictures don't even look like these 2 people are related let alone being the same person.

whatsgoingon said:

What is your point, exactly? The post you quoted never said he hadn't changed, and if you really can't see the similarities between then and now, you're not looking closely enough.

I'm off in a sec, but could someone please post some of those 'then and now' pics with his face in the same expression? I know there are better ones than this out there:

I wasn´t looking forward to get into his hotel suite, I would never expect such thing to happen, but standing outside the hotel, I´ve heard of people who got there couple of times. I know one of the girls (the blond one) was in his suite during his stay in Berlin about 3 times.

Sure. Here are some:

Michael at his most natural, i.e. before any surgery at all, looks nothing like he does now. You can barely compare him with his OTW era, where he had already had his first nose job and he was a young adult.

dag said:

Three times? Again, my mind went to the gutter. Anyway, at least you've got tickets. I've never seen him in concert not one time. Enjoy.

whatsgoingon said:

Right, I see. You don't actually have any interest in discussing this, you just want to restate that one point over and over (and over and over) again and feel sorry about it. Gotcha. Just so long as we're on the same page!

Three?

Are you all trying to imply that MJ has a "thing" for his fans.



Wasn't mike rumored to be on Painkillers that year? A lot of things he did that time seem very irrational.

Remember Bashir interview- he seems all jumpy and restless here.

I was wondering the same thing. Like what is she trying to get at?

suga10 said:

Wasn't rumoured- it was true. He admitted it in a 2006 deposition that he was on medication in 2003, for most of 2003.

marnifrances said:

but Bashir and Berlin were in 2002.

Annika said:

Yeah I know. I love it how they just ignored all the other pictures in this thread as well.

whatsgoingon said:

He should have STOPPED doing plastic surgery after his Off the Wall era, where it was NOT noticable that he had surgery.

MICHAEL JACKSON'S OFF-THE-WALL WACKO PURCHASE
Monday, Mar. 16 2009 @ 6:41PM
By Lina Lecaro in Main

Tabloids and gossip blogs had a field day with reports and pics of "Jacko at Wacko" last week, but all we could think of when we heard about -- and then saw this video of -- the King of Pop popping into our favorite Silver Lake chotchkee haven and art gallery -- also known as Soap Plant/La Luz de Jesus -- last week, was, what did he buy? Well, thanks to some sources inside the store, we've got the exclusive scoop and it's weirder than we might have imagined.

He purchased several books from the store's vast selection. Taschen tomes, non-fiction on China and architecture, the human body and soul music, and some children's books (of course). Interesting but not exactly shocking. Had the surgical mask-covered star seen the Pop Up Book of Celebrity Meltdowns they stock (which features a scary caricature of him and his baby "Blanket,") his reaction might have been. Though the shop was given only 15 minutes notice to clear out customers before he entered, someone had the good sense to hide it before he came in. A vintage MJ pillow stayed on display, but he didn't notice it during the 2 hour private shopping spree.

The purchase de résistance was found in the adjacent gallery, where the shop's popular group show "Everything But the Kitschen Sync" is the current exhibit. Michael apparently had to have a sculpture called "Freudian Fortune Teller," the work of local artist and La Luz fave Brian Poor (not so poor anymore). The old-timey looking piece, made from found objects had a recording device inside that spewed strange and offensive Sigmund Freud inspired psychosexual comments to those who fed it coins.
Sample "fortunes":


'You want to kill your father and sleep with your mother."

"You like the smell the of dog poop."

"You dream about going outside without your pants on."

The piece's price was $7500, and despite Jackson's attempt at haggling for a discount, he paid the full amount. Though the gallery's usual practice for show purchases is to keep them up (with "sold" stickers) until the exhibit's close, we hear they made an exception for
Jackson. He took his Freudian friend home right away, which surely made
his Id very happy. He sure seemed in a good mood while signing LPs for fans afterward.



Check out all the Everything But the Kitschen Sync art pieces at La Luz through March 29. Those not in LA, can see the entire show here.

@ the Freudian Fortune Teller. Mike always did have a taste for the uh...interesting. Wonder what the kids will think of that thing?

Timmy84 said:

i am getting lost in these responses? What was I trying to get at? Well nothing. I was just stating that somehow certain fans get to meet him regularly while others don´t even dream of such thing.

If MIke has a "thing" for his fans? Well, maybe. Remember in the bashit interview when one of the girls in Berlin asked if she could give him a hug and he replied he´d give her more than a hug? I´ve seen him act like that few times. Anyway, I just know that nothing really happened between him and that blond chic. They would always come and tell us what Mike was doing at that time. Usually playing with his kids.

marnifrances said:

Really? I missed that. What did he say? What did he take? Why? He sure did look like it.
[Edited 3/17/09 7:26am]

I just have to share this picture

dag said:

LMAO! That's what I was getting at: were you saying he really meant what he said when he said "I'll give you more than a hug"? Hell she and the other girls could've just barged in.

lilgish said:

That's what I wanted to know too. They aren't discussing Moonwalking or Smashing Guitars so.....um. What DID Pete and MJ discuss?

No, I'm not going to bust out with it like Church Lady.

Timmy84 said:

I bet he did. I am surprised that Bashit actually showed this footage since he was trying so hard to portray him as a paedophile.



Who´s that guy, anyway? What´s wrong with this picture? There are tons of other pictures of Mike posing like that with other people.
