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

He told me Michael and Greg once said that Quincy didn't have any funk [Edited 9/16/09 16:42pm] 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. | |

those were rehearsals clothes, they have nothing to do with the colthes that he was going to wear at the actual concert. i know, people think he was gonna perform in skinny jeans and balmain jakets "we make our heroes in America only to destroy them" | |

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 | |

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. http://www.jackson5abc.co...?newsid=27 *** 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. But, I am looking forward to the Jackson brother's tribute. [Edited 9/17/09 13:20pm] | |

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 "When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all." | |

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). | |
