Thanks Timmy! It's sad though, even at the press conference I thought he looked and sounded kind of weak.

I'll just post it here. I feel like we're ALL MICHAEL JACKSON FANS and we should ALL BE ABLE TO READ IT, however, MODS feel free to remove it



Marine sent you a message.

Subject: for the "followers" fans only, please don't post it on forums.

From Marika :
Dear closest MJ fans,

This is an important message. Some of you are going to hate it. Others will start thinking.

As you may know, few days ago, me and Moon got the luck to be invited on the set of Michael's shooting.
Michael was wearing white pants. Real tight. And a white shirt. Real tight.
As you all know, Michael has been really skinny since the trial. We all talk together and we always say: he is scary skinny.
some of us told him he should eat.

But what Moon and I saw last week horrifed us. He is not scary skinny. He is a skeleton. I saw his back, and wanted to throw up. I never felt a shock like this. And I already knew he was skinny. But this clothes... it was as if he was naked. I was ashamed. I couldn't look at him.

I got out of the set. And what did I told the fans?
"Oh god he is so skinny!" And then, what did I say?
"Oh it was great! yeahhh! I saw Michael on the set! yeah!!!"

I had the same reaction I had since the trial.Saying he is skinny then talk about how great it was. He is now more than skinny. He is a skeleton.
But I can do nothing so let's talk about something else! About how happy I was to meet him.
But to be honnest, I, since this day, feel weird. Like a guilty sensation. It's as if someone was telling me: now you know, you are involved.

I feel that I witnessed reality. For once, he didnt had a coat on, a big shirt, big trousers. For once, I saw the reality of his situation. For once, I can't say "he is skinny". I have to say: he may die.
I feel like I already knew but didnt want to accept it.

Honestly, I think I was like everyone of you. We are worried for 5 minutes but then, the only thing we can think about is: I want to see Michael, I want to get a hug, I want to say I love you... I think about myself and my happiness.

But I started to wonder: Michael rehearse everyday, he is surronded by 200 people, that work with him everyday. But who are those people?
Dancers that are living their dream, Kenny Ortega who is producing his best show ever, technicians, Michael security, Michael Bush.. and KAren Faye.
No family, no friends, no one.
Karen is the only one to have love for Michael. So I mailed her. I wanted to know if people were blind or doing nothing?

Here is her answer:

Hi Marika,

I know.
I am doing everything humanly possible...your heart and mine are in the same place.
Please keep this private for his sake.
Love,
Karen
Shanti, Shanti, Shanti


When I read that, I realized I was right.
She is doing something. But what can she do?
And keep this private for his sake? How can it help?

As we all know, Michael listen to no one. He does whatever he wants.
And if you know a litlle bit about anorexia, you know that if you tell them to eat, it's completly useless.
So Karen may tell him "privatly" to eat. He won't.
People in his situation need a shock to start doing something.

So here is my question to all of you:

We all love Michael really much. We all want to see his shows. We all think about how we will be first row. About how we will get more tickets.
About how we will meet him more than the others fans. About getting a picture with him. About not hurting him.

How will you do all of these things if during the third concert he faints on stage, and if his heart stops during his way to the hospital?
How will you feel when you will talk with others fans and will say: We knew he was too skinny to perform 50 shows. We knew he stopped eating during the trial and reheare 10 hours per day for us.

How will you feel when you will say: people said he was doing fine but they lied. We saw he was a skeleton.
Will you feel guilty? Will you be able to sleep at night thinking you knew it and did nothing?

Some of you are going to say:

"He has doctors with him"
"They wouldnt let him dance if he was not healthy"
"I don't want to do something, it would hurt him"

Well let me tell you this:

If he had doctors with him, he would have gained weight.
No one saw Lou Ferrigno somewhere around rehearsals or Michael's house.
On the set, I watched people around Michael. Everyone was avoiding Michael, looking somewhere else. They were all working on their video.
Too many money involved. You dont want to be fired because you told Michael Jackson to eat.
You all know Michael's employees will never take the risk to lose their job. They dont love Michael this much.

And for those who have been to Carolwood, you all know that Michael is completly alone there.

If you get this email, it means you are part of the MJ's fans who know that Michael is not Peter Pan, Michael is not 100% perfect, and that at this day, we are the only ones left who love Michael enough to try to make a difference.

We all saw Michael at his worst, and we all see him still alive.
But just think 5 minutes that this skeleton that Michael has become is going to perform 2 hours every night during 3 months.
Will you be able to do it?
Models die at 18 from anorexia because their heart stop. And they just walk on a catwalk.

Michael is 51. He dances 10 hours per day. And is going to dance 2 hours every night during 3 months.
Do you think he will be ok?

Now that you know, are you going to do something or are you going to fight with other fans to get the best meeting with him?

Please, let's think about the best solution to help him realize. He needs to be shocked by us. We need to make him react.
And unfortunalty, we may have to hurt his feelings somehow.
But if he stays alive, isnt it worth it?

So please let's all discuss it together, to find a way to save him. And I don't think "save" is too exagerated.
I am sorry if I didnt listen to Karen, but I dont think I betray a secret.
I know some of you will throw rocks on me. I don't care if Michael eats again.

Welcome, Serena. Yeah I just saw the last bits of that press conference. I know Michael sometimes talked low but I saw it and was quite shocked at his tone. It wasn't Michael for some reason to me, he looked lost. Poor dude.

Timmy84 said:

I'm sorry Timmy, I know I said this before and although I'm not a fan of MJ I like him a lot a person, (I know that's weird), I just feel sad and angry at the fact that so MANY people screwed dude over, and Joe, with his fucking fatass, that n***a needs to sit his ass down, because he's not making this situation any easier.

fucking joe jackson wanna make them kids into the Jackson 3! what a dumbass.

and he looks like a broke ass pimp too. he needs to sit his alzheimer child beatin' ass down before he breaks a hip.


fucker!!!






btw im tired of all these reports tryna say janet will get the kids. we don't know if she wants them for sure. that's a helluva job taking care of little ones especially if you've never done it. Katherine may be old but she's got a lot of experience.

I'll just post it here. I feel like we're ALL MICHAEL JACKSON FANS and we should ALL BE ABLE TO READ IT, however, MODS feel free to remove it

ViintageJunkiie said:

Wow, thanks for posting it. They shouldn't keep it private, the public NEEDS to know what liars and bloodsuckers the promoters and others are. It's horrible that folks just kept pushing him with no concern for his health.

It's also too bad that the dang doctors didn't feed him intravenously instead of drugging him.

ViintageJunkiie said:

Oh my that is so sad Poor MJ. Could no one do anything really? He was just left alone with those doctors to get drugs but not eat? I mean he looks frail in the pics but not skeletal. I guess clothes and pics really do deceive. Poor Baby. I wish he could have gotten better for the sake of his children. Maybe he was trying but it was just too late.

Joe was the one that told Michael to watch out for the people he's hanging around. If anything, Joe warned Michael. Joe is not the one to blame

DesireeNevermind said:

Did you take your meds?

ViintageJunkiie said:

Yeah, that may be true, but he's still an ass.

NastradumasKid said:

and he need his ass beat the way he beat on his kids. no body betta not start feeling sympathy for his bitch ass.

midiscover said:

yes. I took 2 whoop Jo Jackson's ass, one beat the crap outta conrad murray, and washed it down with a couple nancy grace is a bitch. I took them with food so they should kick in real soon.

DesireeNevermind said:

I don't feel sympathy for him, but I feel sympathy for Michael. I've discussed it on here before. We sit back and call Joe all kinds of names, but did we forget that he's Michaels father? If it wasn't for Joe, there wouldn't have been a Jackson 5, let alone Michael Jackson. Michael forgave his father for what he did to him, but thanked him also. If Michael never called his father such vulgar names, why should we [as fans] do it? It's disrespectful to MJ in my opinion.

and the mofo still gloats about how he made michael the start that he is. Puhleese. He made the Jackson 5 but the rest is Michael and Berry Gordy and Quincy JOnes.

ViintageJunkiie said:

I see your point but we don't know what Michael may have called him in private. He may have cursed him for all we know. The fact that he never had Jo around and stayed clear away from the family (Jo still living at home with Katherine) speaks volumes. I don't think I'm disrespecting MJ by calling out Joe for what he is. I do it because MJ may have not had the strength to. He may have still lived in fear of that man too. Eh fuck Joe Jackson and his broke ass wrecka label.

The divided soul of Michael Jackson, lol. Yeah Joe's an ass, no disputing that. But regardless he WAS a father and even with him being an ass, he still wanted to look out for his younger son. As there were two sides to MJ, there were two sides to Joe too. There's that "here's my record deal" Joe and then there's that "I feared Michael wouldn't do the shows" Joe.

I think the nonsense about Joe on here should stop

It's sad that MJ surrounded himself with crooks that just let him get his way but mostly just wanted his money

Timmy84 said:

Son you fucking awesome.

trueiopian said:

That's the way it's always been in show business. I feel sorry for Michael because he was willing to do anything for his fans no matter the cost, that's the tragedy of it. He worked hard to please us even for those who have never seen him in concert (sorry if that reminds you of the o2 gigs but I'm just saying...).

Timmy84 said:

I was preaching this **** on Maximum-Jackson
I knew he was in no shape to perform 50 shows let alone -10!
but fans thought I was bashing MJ
It's sad that the fans were blind to all of this

Michael's Studio Life And Set of Rules For Mick Jagger
July 2009


Much has been said about late King of Pop Michael Jackson's life, and now his former sound engineer, Bruce Swedien, has decided to share his views on the 'Thriller' star.

Swedien, who worked alongside Quincy Jones, has in his new anecdotal narrative "In the Studio With Michael Jackson" revealed about Jackson's time in the studio.

"Michael never came late to the studio, if anything he was early," Fox News quoted Swedien as saying." And he never recorded with the lyrics, he would instead be up all night memorizing every line. He was just so polite and easy-to-please, something you don't see too often in this industry.

"His motto was 'the quality goes in before the name goes on'. He lived by that," he said.

Swedien also revealed that when it came to perfecting his work, Jacko would stop at nothing, and he even ordered Rolling Stones' lead vocalist Mick Jagger while they were recording "State of Shock" in 1984.

"He had Mick doing scales for over an hour to warm-up before he would even start," Swedien added.
