fair chances are that what little we've seen so far from rehersals would have not what would have been used in the actual shows. more or less he's just wearing a shirt or jacket over his regular clothes in those clips. and besides a costume change is a good excuse to take a breather between numbers!


I see pictures of what he was supposed to wear, not a good look. lol


Exactly. He could have stuck to the black high water pants, white vneck under and long white sleeve button up with white socks and loafers would have been magical .. I know MJ had a unique style, but got damn

that's what I've heard

My friend Mistermaxx told me about Rod, Michael, Greg Philliganes, and The Johnsons did most of the work on Off The Wall along with Thriller and Bad. He told me Michael and Greg once said that Quincy didn't have any funk lol

I think Q's talent is in "embellishment" as a combination of studying Orchestration with Nadia and the Jazz Theory he learned from Ray Charles.

The best example is "Speed Demon" where MJ breaks it down with the grit and Q adds the horn and string "counter" lines against it.

I think Q's funk is mainly in his fingers.




BUT I respect his success.

What makes you so sure Quincy did that? Mike could do that shit too. If you listen to his demo's all the elements are already there.

Im sure they might have taken songs out and added new songs. "Human Nature" was an added song. It's possible that he would have changed the set list possibly in the middle of the tour schedule

I can post this now that I've ordered my tickets! smile




Michael Jackson never did reunite with his brothers for a 40th reunion tour, and his June 25 death makes a complete reunion impossible.

But now Tito, the third in line of the nine Jackson siblings, will bring "Tito Jackson and Friends" to the city "where it all began" for one night only at the Detroit Opera House on Oct. 4.

Marlon Jackson will act as host for the evening.

The concert is being billed as celebrating the Jackson 5's 40th reunion, and the 50th anniversary of Motown Records. There will be a special tribute to Michael Jackson in the set, as well.

For the past few months, Tito Jackson has been performing in Europe with Jack Ashford, who played vibes for the Funk Brothers at Motown. It was Tito who famously "borrowed" father Joe Jackson's guitar and learned to play it, earning his father's wrath, until he discovered his son could play. As part of his European show, Tito has been doing several Jackson 5 songs in homage to his late brother.

For the October show, Tito will perform several of the group's key hits, including their first Motown hits "I Want You Back" and "ABC." Those two songs were part of an unprecedented feat; the group's first four Motown singles all reached No. 1 on the charts.

"We are looking forward to returning to Detroit to perform," said Marlon Jackson in a statement. "It's the special place that changed our lives, and was the vehicle from which we gave our music to the entire world."

A portion of the proceeds from the show will go to the Motown Historical Museum in the name of Michael Jackson's Heal the World Foundation.

Tickets are $35-$75 and go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday Sept. 5, online at Ticketmaster.com, or in person at the Detroit Opera House box office, 1526 Broadway in Detroit. Charge tickets by phone at (800) 745-3000.

Thank you for posting this! I immediately ordered myself a ticket and I am so excited. The only other Jackson that I've seen is Janet. Never had the opportunity to see Michael. neutral But, I am looking forward to the Jackson brother's tribute.

I know that MJ can do that as well.

I was speaking in context of what Q brings between he and MJ.

If you listen to the Temperton Songs Rod himself is big on counterpoint stuff along with Q. And if you go back and listen to "Sinatra At The Sands" you'll hear it.

That's not what I mean. He doesn't do DORKY moves like this. He's all about SNAPPING and sharp movements and gliding not weird walks or half spins. I'm not talking about his movement I'm talking about his MOVES.

Looking at the footage, it does look weird. I´ve never seen Mike move this way.

Posted Sep 16th 2009 1:45AM by TMZ Staff

Michael Jackson's kids just got to do something no Regular Joe has done since 1998 -- they saw Michael's 17-minute, 3-D film "Captain EO" at Disneyland.



Sources say Michael Jr., Paris and Prince were taken to the happiest place on Earth (the one in California) last Thursday by Michael's brother Jackie. While they were there, we're told the kids were shown a screening of "Captain EO" -- which the Mouse stopped playing in 1998 -- and "they loved" it.

According to Disney blog MiceAge.com, the kids were able to see the movie because on Tuesday, the "Honey I Shrunk the Audience show was quietly closed, and Imagineers moved in with a truckload of equipment used to install the Captain EO show for a special executive presentation."

The blog says "Honey" was up and running again by Saturday -- so you'll just have to catch "EO" on YouTube like the rest of us

His actions are too...over the top. Like he's trying way too hard even for a rehearsal (or especially for one). Some people on other sites said it's like a Broadway style dance and too effeminate for him (not that he wasn't a little bit but his MOVES never really were).
