Wow, just brilliant, oh, gosh, almost had me crying. I think Pepsi punked out on him once the molestation charges hit. I cannot imagine the pain this man must have felt, I could see why he'd take drugs, and that's coming from a guy who doesn't touch anything stronger than coffee.

Timmy84 said:

3 different versions of this commercial. I remember seeing this when i was little.

Cinnamon234 said:

i think that is what is bothering me the most. i could understand if quincy was actually providing some insight. did mj say to him why he was so interested in eyptian art, or spoke so highly of africa and its music, or had all those books on black culture in that called off auction, or gave to black causes, etc. yet didn't want to see his african face looking at him in the mirror? for someone who has known mj since he was 12, he doesn't come across as very compassionate. though i think deepak chopra has been somewhat self serving himself, he at least has atttempted to put mj in a human context, good and bad, from the perspective of a compassionate friend whose known mj for 20 years. he's been tough in his critique of mj, but it seems to be coming from a place of love. i don't get that from quincy.

I am gutted. There are no words.

He re-recorded I'll Be There and Never Can Say Goodbye in 1989 for the Decade project

he was FINE AS HELL.

ehuffnsd said:

That was GREAT!

Was he murdered?
Is he dead?
Is his ghost around?

Some fans are becoming their own worst enemies writing stuff that would make tabloid editors salivate.

I hope the memorial is treated with respect and people realise that this isn't going to be a tribute concert, or an excuse for the Jackson 4 to re-unite.

Tribute shows will come in time I am sure, but hopefully Michael will actually be given a chance to rest in peace.

AAAAAH ! SEE I knew it was never shown ! my first time seeing it was today actually...amazing commercial !

mozfonky said:

yeah I think they turned their backs business wise ... I mean aside from basic radio play the only time Mj was shown on television if it was news related,very few music orientated commercials or programming.I also wonder why upon him coming back to the U.S why not rebuild his image all over again.well I'm sure after the concerts major brands would return to him again.


off topic his last rehearsal ... it just dawned on me if he looked that thin and the camera adds 10 pounds then this means he was rail thin!

utopia7 said:

I saw some of the pictures, that guy looked like a stick. The video does look as if some weight was added on. MJ definitely looked like a toothpick. Let's not forget his mugshot said he only weighed 120 lbs (and he's 5'11), that's real rail thin.

Timmy84 said:

very true

just received 1:50 AM....

The Michael Jackson Public MEMORIAL SERVICE at STAPLES CENTER.



Thank you for your registration.

Sorry, we regret to inform you that your registration to attend the Public Memorial Service for Michael Jackson was not selected.

Hundreds of thousands registered, but only a few can be in attendance.


guess it wasn't meant meanwhile some who did receive have them on ebay and don't wish to really pay their respects oh well it's the way life goes

Cinnamon234 said:

That's all I have been listening to. I was completely in shock when I heard of his passing,and I think I stayed in a place of denial,because I never once felt a sadness,until tonight. I picked up the People magazine,and was looking at it,and I would look at the pictures of him before the surgeries,and then the more recent ones,and I was thinking to myself "Why did you do that to yourself Michael",it was then that I started sobbing,and I haven't stopped. I don't know why it finally hit me tonight,but I am feeling the loss very hard.

utopia7 said:

Nah it was shown in the states, it was shown during The Dangerous Diaries on MTV too

bboy87 said:

Hmm, I was probably outside playing because I don't remember it. Nor do I remember many of the commercials he was on besides probably L.A. Gear.

Timmy84 said:

but he always was like that. I think during the Victory tour he was at his toothpickiest.

Anxiety said:

But Quincy was a snowbunny queen. And Michael's OTL was Diana Ross, a black woman, so

Why couldn't Quincy say this when he was still alive? Coward ass.

Chic35 said:

LOL look at Quincy's kids! Rashida is just as white looking as Michael's daughter.

kibbles said:

There's not even a need for an autopsy for evidence that he had vitiligo; its already in medical records.

And let me tell you, even if a news release said JACKSON HAD VITILIGO with the autopsy details revealed, somehow...some way, people will STILL deny it, lmao. Pathetic.

CalhounSq said:

Both of y'all need to let it go. You had your fun.
