michael is to blame as well.

MJ clearly is suffering from Body Dysmorphic Disorder. I don't think the man has been satisfied at any point about his own apperance.

And its not tough to believe what Riley said about MJ, because it was 1992, and MJ had not told the media and the world quite yet about what happened to his skin.

He only started talking about Vitiligo after 1993.

you guys still talking about the man's plastic surgeries, people say that Mj is obsessed with his face, I think its the contrary ,you people more obsessed with his face .....


MOVE ONNNNN

It's sad when you have GROWN ASS MEN & WOMEN arguing about ANOTHER MAN'S problems...moving on, will there be an opening act on the THIS IS IT tour? Any confirmations?

ViintageJunkiie said:

No nothing's been confirmed yet.

Timmy84 said:

Has anyone ever opened up for a Michael concert?

ViintageJunkiie said:

Yeah, I know Kris Kross opened for him for the "Dangerous" tour at some part and I'm sure there's more but names escape me for the moment.

Timmy84 said:

Wow! I never knew that. Speaking of Dangerous tour, do you know why he scrapped the performance of Remember The Time?

ViintageJunkiie said:

I guess he didn't think it would've held up well in concert. I think bboy87 can explain it better than I did. Personally I wished he had done it.

Timmy84 said:

Also Rozalla, Kim Wilde, Taylor Dane, DJ Bobo, Sabrina Setlur, Human Nature, Tic Tac Toe, Total Touch, Culture Beat, Sista Sista... but mostly his support acts were crap!

Timmy84 said:

I would have loved it...No confirmations on any songs he'll be singing? I'd go crazy if he sings "For All Time". I think he should.

PatrickS77 said:

Who are those? Never heard of them before.

PatrickS77 said:

you would really need to be hard pushed to find acts worse than that to support you. he obviously thought if he gets the shittest acts that have ever been shat in2 creation, he can only sound better afterwards

so at the o2, you can bet it will be the jonas brothers, adam lambert, susan boyle, the nolans, new kids on the block, and 2 grand

Kim Wilde was the '80s pop singer who hit number-one with her dance-pop cover of the Supremes' "You Keep Me Hangin' On", Taylor Dayne was the singer behind "Love Will Lead You Back" and "Take Me In Your Arms", Human Nature is an Australian pop vocal group who performed everything from boy band material to Motown classics. Have no idea about the others tho.

seeingvoices12 said:

Well, other than Tic Tac Toe, Sabrina Setlur and Sista Sista, who are all german singing acts from germany, all of them had international success, well except Human Nature (from Australia), I think they never had a hit at all... just look them up!

unique said:

Well, Taylor Dane, Kim Wilde, Rozalla and Sabrina Setlur were good! But yeah, his support act selection is not really fitting for a king of pop!

Timmy84 said:

Rozalla had a hit in Europe with "Are you ready to fly" and Culture Beat had a hit with "Mr. Vain"... they were some Eurodance type acts who were quite successful at the time! Kim Wilde had quite a lot of hits in Europe! Taylor Dane is somewhat of a one hit wonder, at least in Europe, but I quite liked "Tell it to my heart"!

PatrickS77 said:

They've had hits just in Australia and New Zealand. But that's it on that front I think. They've managed to do collaborations with Motown artists one way or another for a minute. They released like four albums covering Motown standards (though one or two of them in one of the albums weren't originally released from Motown, lol).

PatrickS77 said:

I remembered "Mr. Vain". One of my favorite house classics growing up. I know Kim had hits in Europe, I think her debut was "The Kids of America" or something like that. Big early 1980s hit here.

I remember DJ Bobo's song Love is all Around, and Culture Beat's Mr. Vain and Crying in the Rain, and Rocket to the Moon.

PatrickS77 said:

those support acts aren't fitting for the eurovision song contest or wiping my arse. wtf ever happened to kris kross? they couldn't even dress properly

btw, new photo of MJ below

suga10 said:

i've never even heard of dj bobo, but if i did have, i woldn't b telling the world on the fucking internet. i'd keep that shit secret

unique said:

Well, Taylor Dane and Kim Wilde on the '88 european tour certainly were good support acts.. they where hot at the time! Also Sabrina Setlur and Tic Tac Toe in '97 in germany, who were competing with Michael for the #1 album spot, were good support acts... they were pretty big then and even though I hate him, DJ Bobo at the time, was big in the charts... but for the rest... well, like I said, I kinda liked Rozalla, but still... there could have been better!

PatrickS77 said:

big in germany?





it makes you wish for kriss kross

ViintageJunkiie said:

R&B singer Stacy Lattisaw opened for The Jacksons during the Triumph Tour



and LTD opened for them for the US leg of the Destiny Tour
[Edited 6/21/09 15:02pm]

I went to one of the history concerts actually, he had like an upcoming dutch group called "total touch" opening up for him they're alright. couldn't wait for mike though.

bboy87 said:

Stacy lattisaw- Come on and Jump to the beat. She was only about 14 when that came out.

I wonder how many years the Commodores kept opening for them before their first hit in '74...

So, all those were one hit wonder obviously
