Some friends of mine praising this song like crazy on fcb claiming it sounds just like Michael. Am I deaf, or is this just a plain stupid song that sounds nothing like Mike. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2J2dwFVZHsY&feature=player_embedded "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." | |

OK and do you agree with them or with me? "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." | |

Ne-Yo is trying his damndest to sing like Mike on the verse, throwing in "DAH!" at the end of his lines and stuff, but I'm with you on this one. | |

@Viintage I knew he sang "Tom Sneddon" the first time I played HIStory, he didn't put it in the title of the song or lyrics because it could bring a lawsuit against him by Mr. Sneddon himself.
That's why he didn't get sued for the song. MJ had to get around certain things to put the song on the album. | |

I know it wasn't but you know how some folks are. That's why MJ just said "fuck it" and changed the lyrics. Of course he didn't put it out as a single. That's another reason why HIStory was probably his edgiest album (I add "Morphine", "Ghost" and "Is It Scary" to that period) to date. Least to me in terms of subject matter and MJ cursing in it, it's real edgy. | |

Bashit was saying we were going to lose Liz soon because she's not getting any younger. What a stupid thing to say. Alot of MJ's comments are unclear sadly. The funeral was for Maurice Gibb of the Bee Gees. | |

Ah come on, This footage is terrible!!!! Michael looks like he scared shitless with all these pricks around him, the expressions on his face, the nervousness he displays, and Bashit trying to coax him into spaeking at the funeral saying he`ll help him write something,GET THE BOAT, am i the only one who can see this in less than 10min of footage, man If i worked for Mike and was there I would have plugged the plug straight away, pack of patranisizing BASTARDS AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH and fucked them out of my house with good kick in the ass!!!! | |

See, it´s not that it´s amazing because of everything that´s going on. Bashit always gets on my nerves and I would kick his ass if I ever met him. I hate the way he treated him and what he had to go through. It´s just Michael that I love. I love seeing him. I love the way he´s shy, the way he´s nervous. Not that I love to see him shy and or be happy about him being nervous, but he´s just so cute like that. He´s just a human being and that´s what I love him for.

It´s OK. We´ve probably misunderstood each other. "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." | |

Yeah I figured that. Whenever I sing the song, I always say "Tom Sneddon is a cold man!" but I never stopped to listen if he was saying Dom Sheldon because of the initials. | |

And I hate he adminishes him agains drinking from the bottle as if he was a little child and as if Mike was doing some MAJOR offense. Yeah, he´s truly the one to teach someone about good manners. Asshole. "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.

dag I love how shy and nervous he looks too though I feel bad about the situation, but most of all, I love it when he smiles, puts on the makeup or laughs, I just think it would have been fun to chill with him | |

Exactly, these are the moments I love the most about this video, him having just fun. It´s so rare to see, that´s why I love it so much. And even though I hate that Bashit made him nervous and shy, Mike´s just too adorable like that. You feel so sorry for him watching it, yet you just melt. He´s just cute, sexy and adorable.
BTW, do you understand some of the stuf they´re saying that I asked about. [Edited 8/7/10 14:52pm] "When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent.

It sounded to me like he was mumbling too, I really couldn't hear it and I'm waiting for someone to put subtitles or something one day, but during the Liz question, he looked surprised like he was trying to hide emotion. It made me think of how my mom asked me one time if it's true mj is dying and I got so upset and cried all night at the thought of it though it was many years ago.
I would have loved to spend an entire day with him just talking about everything and making music together for a few days, just for fun and if we come out with something great, awesome! But it would have been so much fun to share ideas and learn from him (or each other, I would have gotten a little competititve for jokes) Oh man........ and last year I began to appreciate nature and it was inspiring my writing and I thought of him so much so I'm sure I would have gotten a whole new appreciation from hanging out with him, and we're both Earth signs too | |

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Michele Riggi has kept details of the annual National Museum of Dance gala under wraps. It is almost as mysterious as its honoree, the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson. "we make our heroes in America only to destroy them" | |

A really cute story from http://www.mj-777.com/?p=4995
"Michael loved that safety spiel that airline attendants do at the beginning of a flight. At the end of the ‘This Is It‘ shows, the plan was that Michael would board a huge jetliner and fly off over the audience (all done with holograms or other trickery of course). Awesome! But that never happened. So what the heck am I talking about with this “30,000 feet” business? He sure wasn’t gonna get that kind of altitude flying over an audience in a hologram! Probably not. But, some years ago, Michael Jackson – humanitarian, peacemaker and lifesaver, averted what could have been a very nasty situation aboard a flight from LAX to Berlin en route to Cannes. It wasn’t MJAir, but MJ was a hero aboard that flight. It seems Michael Jackson had saved quite a few lives during his own short one. From his humanitarian efforts to his peacemaking efforts, the man was a lifesaver more than once. Another story is that on July 31 1992, a man stood atop a building opposite the hotel MJ was staying in, and threatened to jump. But Michael talked him out of it. I don’t have more details of that particular story, maybe someone else does. But I do have details of his heroism on that LAX –> Berlin flight. Don Barrett, publisher of LARadio.com tells the story (reprinted with kind permission from Mr. Barrett):
When I was laid off (fired) from MGM/UA in 1994, I opened my own movie marketing consultancy. I decided to concentrate on animated films. Over the years I was fortunate enough to work on wonderful animated projects like Steven Spielberg’s An American Tail, among many others. Before long my business was booming. I was making more money than I ever did with Columbia, Universal or most recently MGM/UA. And more importantly, I didn’t have that awful commute I did for years, plus no committee diluting some wonderful ideas that individuals conjured up. I was exposed to the international marketplace (my movie career with the studios was confined to domestic) and found myself at the Cannes Film Festival numerous times exposing and selling some of the animated projects I was representing. Yes, Cannes is beautiful, sexy, sensual, alluring, intoxicating, exciting and downright the bomb, to use an old expression. One year on my way to Cannes, I had to travel from LAX to Berlin and then make a connecting flight to Cannes. In first class there were five rows with two seats on each side of the plane. I was sitting in the aisle seat in row three on the left. In front of me was a single gentleman. The front two seats were occupied but they were already seated when I got comfortable for the 12 hour flight. The man in front of me asked for a cocktail prior to take-off. Once airborne, he was the recipient of a steady stream of drinks. About a half-hour into our flight, the man on the aisle in the front seat stood and moved to the center of the cabin. His seatmate got up and stood behind him. Another man who was in the front seat on the aisle on the right side of the plane got up and joined the two standing in the cabin and got behind the second man. In almost lock step they walked to the toilet. The cabin lights were dim for those who wanted to sleep on the long flight. As they walked by me it was clear that the center man in this abbreviated parade was Michael Jackson. The flight progressed but the man in front of me never stopped with requesting more booze. Eventually the steward cut him off. I could only guess the perfect storm that was brewing. Frequently raising his voice in the quiet cabin, it was easy to hear his entitlement demands after paying so much for a first class ticket and that they had no right to stop serving him. The steward was firm. The boozy man kept ringing the call-button and the steward reluctantly would come to his seat, only to be greeted by insults for refusing his right to service. After a third call-button ring, the boozy man apparently was waiting in wait for the steward. The steward repeated what he had told the man about no more service. The boozy man leapt like a gazelle onto the steward and they both crashed to the floor. They wrestled. You could hear another steward frantically summoning the pilot who quickly came down to see what the commotion was all about. With no fanfare, no lights, no audience, a concerned Michael Jackson got up and separated the two sparring men. As soon as they realized that the King of Pop was acting as peacemaker, they sheepishly stopped like school kids busted by the principal or even their own mom. The captain (or co-captain) arrived on the scene to see that peace had been restored with no bloodshed. Michael asked his bodyguard friend to sit in the boozy man’s seat and invited the inebriated man to sit with him. I couldn’t hear a word that was spoken by Michael nor his new seatmate but they were talking away for 20 minutes. Michael signaled to his bodyguard to help the boozy man back to his seat. Within minutes he had passed out and slept for the duration of the flight. Michael and his bodyguard were both back together to complete the remaining hours in relative silence. It was a rare glimpse into Michael Jackson. Who knew he would be a peacemaker at 30,000 feet on what could have erupted into an ugly confrontation? -Don Barrett YOU DON'T NEED A BUS PASS FOR ME TO BUS YOUR ASS,NIGGA ! | |

I love this footage too! Just seeing him relax and being all candid shows you that he's just a regular dude and knows how to laugh. By the way, I love his demeanor and laugh in the begining
From what I gather....
1:44 - Bashit says that Liz isn't young and that we're going to lose her soon. Prior to that around 1:35 Michael mocked the press saying "what's up with Michael and Elizabeth Taylor... what do you mean what's up.. does age make a difference? It's about spirit and soul" Maybe that's why Bashit said we'll lose her. Dumb comment.
2:55 - I think he either said "that's it" or "that's sick" Probably the former.
3:55 - He said "the music world lost a giant. They (bee gees) were amazing." Does anyone notice how Bashit sweats Michael and overly agrees with him on harmony and Michael's face is like "yeah.. whatever... next question"
4:34 - He said something like "not on tape" about the pant-throwing comment and wanted to change the subject of the filming by saying "let's do it for children's day haha" "If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with" - Michael Jackson | |

^^ That flight story is an interesting one.
One correction on the original post - the MJ Air finale sequence of the This Is It concerts was to also be in 3D. At the end of Man in The Mirror, the whole band and dancers would walk up the ramp as a 3D jumbo would taxi onto the screen. Part of the screen would descend revealing stairs, and everyone would climb "into" the plane. The last one to do so would have been Michael.
Then the screen would display the MJ Air plane taxi back down the runway, turn and then with full engines roaring approach the screen and take off. In 3D this would have given the effect that the plane was going right over the audiences head.
No holograms though. Just pure 3D entertainment.
You can see some of this in the bonus features of This Is It. "I'm not human I'm a dove, I'm ur conscience. I am love" | |

^^ D.S. In the History lyric book with the cd D.S. was only one of a few songs that lyrics were printed for. As if to appease any confusion over whether Mike was singing Tom Sneddon or Dom Scheldon - lol.
Of course anyone listening to it knew what he was singing.
Vintage - go back and check the lyric book, listening along with it while reading the lyrics - it will make you smile.
To that end - I don't understand why so many lyric sites on the web have the wrong lyrics for songs when they are clearly displayed in the CDs.
I remember when Michael died there was a very insightful article written by a journalist that quoted from Scream and quoted the "with such collusion" line, and I saw a fan bag it out saying the journalist didn't even know the lyrics of the song. Sad thing was, the journalist was right and the fan hadn't even seen the official lyrics from the HiStory CD.
