Today I finally caught the Immortal documentary and I know that I still don't want to see that show, even though the people involved kinda almost would tempt me to want to see it.

Anyway after that I saw the This is it Blu Ray for the first time in over a year, including all specials and featurettes and damn, this show would have been so great. So close and yet so far away. It's such a fucking tragedy that everything went down the drain like it did. There are no words for how much I despise that fucking quack that did this to Michael. And shame on Michael for trusting that fucking quack.

another one of my all time favorite MJ songs

universal theme message

when I saw the crowd in that stadium participate in this moment

by raising up those placards to create that montage of children's faces

that brought a tear to the eye....that was beautiful stuff

that took allot of planning to pull off

and MIKE was speaking in his real voice before the song started playing

razz razz razz

One of my favourites.

"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."

I need your help, guys, again because I am working on subtitles. If anyone feels like it, I would appreciate your help. Question tags stands for things I don't understand.

2:43 - Stan: "I am your ? "

8:02 - "16 channels of ? "

8:04 - "central ? "

9:40 - "I've been ? with my mother in a car"

15:23 - "His phrase was always: Let's not leave ? "

18:05 - ?

18:32 - "I am sure we're gonna see things that I should have done in that shot ? I shouldn't let them go."

18:40 - It shouldn't be ?"

I love this song! That trumpet at 3.36 is just magical, love it! He learned a great deal working with Quincy, because his input in Mjs music were always those beautiful horn arrangments with the help of Jerry Hey and Mike caught on to that. His vocals are amazing, if only he had sung it live! I know the band played a snippet of the song on the Dangerous tour, but that was it.. :/

I kinda wish Mike could have done a smaller concert with a REAL horn section like he did with the jacksons and the Triumph tour. Oh the possibilities Mike had but never took, not complaining but I sometimes think the fans forced Mike into doing these huge arena concerts, where there was no room for cretivity anymore. I understand it though, because I would have loved to see the spins and the moonwalk and all of that,but he was so much more than that.

I seriously miss MJ right now, because I imagine he could have done some great stuff on stage at the Grammys or other award shows had he been alive. Some theatrical performance of some kind and some off the wall dancing would have just put back some order in this dead music industry... People are looking backwards so much that they ain't looking forwards, music has always been about trying to reinvent and try to make better things and not just recycle all of the old things, even though that's what most musicians do at an older age. I remember back in 08 when there were rumors about MJ performing at the Grammys and I was hyped and if only he had done it, I think the industry would have been a bit different. Haters gonna hate, but when MJ did something the industry watched in awe.

I hated awards shows for years before his death, but the small hope of him turning up made them exciting. I nearly had a heart attack when he came out with n sync, since someone I knew had a connection to them too and I wanted to take advantage of that, but left it cause I didn't want to impose.

Today I'm really regretting not travelling by car to see him with friends as I nearly did 10 years ago, cause I would always say I have schoolwork and stuff like that and will do it if he performs or when I'm working, and that time I was ready happened to be...This Is It time and I came so close! sad I felt foolish for wanting to travel to see him though I craved it so much and was in denial, felt guilty for it and was trying to compensate for it in other ways.

I felt the same way about these awards shows. Wasn't really interested, but just the thought he could appear excited me, accept of course when it came to the VMAS. I grew to seriously hate MTV. After the Nsync appearnce I prayed that he would stay away from that award show. Proud to say I never saw that mean appearance MJ did with Britney.

And sadly, only time I saw MJ in person was at the United We Stand concert in 2001.

In the words of nippy, shush your mouth! Lol I'm jealous and nowhere near europe

I was a broke student and was better at spending than saving. I regret not trying to win 2002 AMA tickets cause of finishing senior year that month and stuff like that. I wish I lied and schemed to sneak off to see him sometimes but was afraid it wouldn't work.

^^Yeah, but I also saw him in the states. razz 2001 twice in New York (Heal the Kids charity event and 30th anniversary shows), 2002 in New York (Sony Demo and Fan Club party), 2003 in Los Angeles (Fan Club party) and 2004 and 2005 in Santa Maria, Los Angeles and at Neverland.


But there is also one thing I regret... in 1995 I wanted to go see him at Wetten Dass (except the Munich show of the Dangerous tour and one failed attempt to see him in Zurich, that was the first time I wanted to travel somewhere to see him), but no one wanted to come with me and I had not ticket. So I ended up not going. Well, they let about 200 fans, who didn't have tickets, into the show and the next day he went to an amusement park and many fans were allowed to come in while he was there. So the next time around I said, "Fuck it" and went on my own (HIStory tour in Prague). But okay, I was 19 then and had my own money (although not very much), so obviously that was easier. But I do know plenty of students that travelled to see him.

LOL but I know, all of that is not helping you right now. I'm sorry you never got to see him. It just shouldn't have happened this way. TII would have been the chance to see him the first time for many people. It all sucks. That's kinda what I was saying earlier.

I have seen all celebs i wanted though few, especially Janet then but I wanted Michael the most! But he never comes here. I was in my late teens/early 20s too but not in a position to do anything. I spent work and allowance on music and merchandise instead of saving. I was also too hard on myself and not letting myself have fun though my plan was to try to see him once I was all done, as a reward and to build anticipation. Sometimes I think I didn't go cause I felt guilty for putting too much importance on him cause I cared that much and was scared of the mania love was giving me

Wetten das was phenomenal, I have that on tape, it's his best earth song if you ask me. I would have gone to MSG if it wasn't at that price, as my friends bro wanted to go and we could have all driven down, but again, all I could go to was all for you in town

Yeah. That one was amazing... and "Dangerous"... man, I still wish I would have been there.

I had a 100 $ ticket for MSG... I was to stingy to get a more expensive one. On the first night, when I realized that my seat basically was behind the stage, I said again "Fuck it" and was on the move throughout the night and saw the show from every seat in the house basically.

When Whitney Houston started and before the show I was right at the corner of the stage on Michael's side. It was amazing, Elizabeth Taylor greeted me. After the first segment was over the owner of the seats came and we had to leave.

By the time the Jacksons started, after almost being thrown out at one point, I had settled in an unclaimed 300-400 $. Right next to a friend who paid that money for his seat (he wasn't very amused about that), actually I was closer to the stage than him.

On the second night I pretty much did the same and made it to the floor, right at the walkway between the front and back section. I made it on the broadcasting. So I was pretty happy about that.

Yeah what was up with that? But what I heard was that there was going to be a Thriller 25 tribute with Will.I.Am and Fergie and etc, I don't think Michael was originally supposed to perform there that night. My guess is maybe it was either the grammys couldn't arrange a proper tribute with decent enough performers for Thriller 25 so they ended up canceling it or Michael told them not to do it at the last minute....? They even made a freaking commercial about it =(

Michael naturally was very dark, he had at least 6 "dark" allele out of 8.
Even if Debbie has all 8 "light" allele (although this is rare, 99% of white people have 1-2 "dark" allele), the chance that these children could be born from Michael - 0.01%.
Yes, sometimes there are genetic failures, but two times in a row - fiction.

fans are so fond of using these rare photographs, when black parents gave born completely white children. but there are very, very exceptional cases, in which are usually one parent at least a bi-racial, with not more than 4-5 "dark" alleles, and other - white.

maybe I'll post pictures of children who were born from the union of a white mother and a black father, and 99.9% of them have obvious external signs of both races.

come on here. wink

That's pretty amazing! Sounds like a great night of "I don't that angle, I like this one" smile wink

I would often dream about running around the stadium too when he would perform.

And now that you mention it, I think I did love Wetten Das Dangerous the best too. I thought I loved MTV's, but the Wetten Das one owns it
