Michael Jackson's Last Rehearsal
AEG, the promoters for Michael Jackson's show in London, have released this 1-minute rehearsal that was taken just two days before his death. In the video, MJ is doing his thing to the song "They Don't Care About Us" in full costume and with fans. FANS! It's not a Michael Jackson performance unless there's WIND involved. A lot of it.
Also, there's more details on Michael's memorial and funeral. E! says he will be buried at Forest Lawn in the Hollywood Hills. The Jackson family says that there were never plans for a public viewing despite reports.
A public memorial will be held at the Staples Center this Tuesday at 10 in the morning. They still don't know if the memorial will be broadcasted on TV or the internet.
You know people are camping out right now! In fact, they should just close L.A. down completely, because it's going to be chaos upon chaos. My mom said that she's going to be sitting in traffic until September. I don't know how that's different from any other day, but okay....
so so so sad MJ is a wonderful singer ,handsome and sexy.i like him very much. I saw many info.
on --—**KissCougar.com**—--
Very funny site with the collection of MJ's pictures
Have to say I like this actually. Like they way he's dressed, his action's, dancing, the dancers. Just seemed fresh... Yeh I was kinda surprised
Oscar Wilde, in the late 1800's, was at the height of his fame, as a playwright. Same denoument, self inflicted.: Bosie, court case, Goal,(example of not following your attorney's advice) etc.
Succumbed to Absinthe.
With all due respect, the dancing isn't comparative to early, perfectionist, tight, mode.
The leg lifts are an effort.
Since he doesn't play an instrument, (Madonna, is an example) the stage show is The Product.
By the way, Quincy Jones, seems to have dropped off Planet Earth, as a contributing factor to MJ.
He produced Michael's most successful albumes. He brought in the horns, Eddie VanHalen, etc.
Prince, on the other hand, wrote lyrics, composed music, did gymnastics, splits, hauled ass....
didn't have a prominent producer forming his career, put out a few movies, and is more "self made".
I'll take his nonPropofol talent any day......
Along with his guitar playing, which happens to be exquisite.
I have to say Michael looks great in this footage. The dancing is fantastic.
Angel_i. Just pointing out that peeps trying to lecture others about moral in a gossip blog, of all places, are in for a great fight because this man has been hated for a long ass time and that reputation is difficult to change. Sorry, but he did that to himself, no one else did. If you do not want to be accused of being a child molester, you just don't sleep with children that are not your kids and that is that. Guilty or not, he is the one that fabricated his own reputation, he was not a kid. I don't care if he talked in this childlike voice or if he looked innocent, or if his friends say he was like a kid, he was not a child. Ok, he may have been misled by his posse, but so was Britney and no one gives her a pass because she is young, used to be a talented dancer, because she was sold like chattel by her parents. MJ was a talented man yes, but he was also a very disturbed one.
Back to the matter at hand, no one has called you or the well wishers loonies, just the ones that went all the way and screamed "shut up you h8rs!!" to the rest of the posters. Maybe not on this thread (I haven't read all all of it) but in other threads there sure have been. That is why I said dlisted was becoming jj, not talking about this thread or the people who post in it specifically, just in general. Angel, I like you, really, why do you feel like you're under attack?
Wanna say something nice about MJ, go ahead! I am sure not going to be the one calling you names. Can't speak for everyone though.

Hmmm... reading comprehension skills are so overrated, eh?.
It's not hard to grasp why some around here are acting like true brangeloonies and claymates, but fill in the blank with Michael Jackson's name.
Remember why the Brangeloonies were called brangeloonies in the first place?. Yup, the very same reason. "Angelina Jolie is the greatestestest mother in the world, the most beautiful woman in the world, truly happy with Brad Pitt and her beautiful children, blessed, the greatest philanthropist to ever walk the earth". No, she NEVER kissed her brother. Nope, she's a true actress. Nope, she NEVER cheated with Brad Pitt. No, she never had plastic surgery. She's naturally beautiful. And what are other people able to do? see the other side of the coin. Right?. That's why most dislike her for being a pathological liar, brother kissing, blood vial carrier, husband stealing, a terrible actress with terrible accents, child collector, brainless breeder, anorexic, etc.
That's what I have been doing, posting about the other side of Michael Jackson's coin. I will not fawn over the guy, talented or not. You know what's odd? I have never said he was not talented and/or a bad performer. And since this whole shit started, people have complained to me about my comments, arguing he was so damn talented and was such a great performer when I know he WAS. But that doesn't mean the guy will get a free pass with me, as much as I don't give Angelina Jolie a free pass for being such a "great" philanthropist. Get it?.

I have fab idea to take care of the kids, honor MJ, give the fans a viewing and take care of the City/County/Statewide California budget crisis.
The Los Angeles Staples Center is too small, only holds 20 thousand people, that is why the Lakers held their Championship Victory Celebration at the Coliseum and over 100 thousand people attended.
Ok stay with me now,
Have the Memorial/Viewing at the Coliseum and charge 100 bucks entrance fee, Also charge em for parking in City lots and bus them in for a nominal fee. Have the Jacksons, Janet, Diana Ross etc perform at half time as a tribute to MJ.
In L.A. we have a new Blimp thing with a glass bottom, so put Michael face down in the blimp and hover over the Coliseum for the fans to see him, pay their respects take pics etc.
Cremate MJ and have his ashes displayed at Neverland, this gets around the state law banning burials on private land. Widen the 2 lane road to Neverland to accommodate traffic, charge entrance fees, separate parking fees, open rides, a Museum, shrine,gift shops and restaurants on the property {just like Graceland} Sell all kinds of memorabilla and souvenirs, licenced stuff etc.
Fans from all over the world will flock to Neverland on a pilgrimage. The Estate makes money for the kids, the local hotels, restaurants, gas stations, business's etc get a much needed influx of money, jobs are created, the County & State get all the applicable taxes and revenues.
All at the same time, solving the state budget, generating a sizable income for the kids while honoring Michael Jackson's place in music history.

I'm really surprised at how well he is doing in the video, with everything being said about how bad off he was leading up to his death, I'm not seeing it on stage there. Hard to believe this is the same man who is a shuffling cripple in pajamas and face masks when in public.

Oh perfectionism, is that what they call it? Because I call it unimaginative, stilted and fearful. Just sing your songs and dance, people. There's no need to pre-plan every breath.

I also feel sadness becuz no one is allowed to say ONE nice thing about the man without being labeled a "loonie". Do you really think it's totally impossible to feel warmth for the man and, at the same time, realize that he was a mess?
------------------
Now come on, let's not get dramatic here. No one's said you can't feel for the man. It's people who start calling the haters names and telling them that they'll rot in hell. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but when some peeps start asking for respect in the comments section of a gossip site using all kinds of name calling, it is not going to make people feel more sympathy towards the severely vilified (and for a long-ass time) Jackson. There is no such thing as respect in a gossip site to begin with. There is nothing sacred about it and the faster the fans get this, the better because this way, they'll avoid the heartache and won't waste their time trying to convert haters to WacoJackonism. I guess what I'm trying to say is, Ok praise him love him, adore him, but if you expect others to share your sentiments, well you're in for a long ride, m8...

Nope, actually people their self righteous belief that he was a pedo on the fact that he slept with kids and admitted to it. He said he didn't see anything wrong with that. Spoken like a true sociopath.
*************************************
No. Sociopath's lie.
They say things like: I only slept in the bed with that boy becuz he was scared.
OR
I only slept in a bed with that boy cuz his parent's told me it was his dying wish.
OR
I never slept in a bed with that boy!
Look at all the people who have been caught. ONE of them chased down pedophiles for a living.
I feel sadness over this becuz now men will feel like they can NEVER express affection for a child ever. Becuz if he does he's obviously a pedophile. Like no man can ever be that close to a child and not be a sick pervert. My life experience tells me that that's just not true. I mean, you wouldn't find a man who allows his dog to sleep in his bed an automatically assume he's molesting that dog, would you?
Like I said: I don't know if he did or he didn't but you can hardly take one statement and use it as your only argument that he did it FOR SURE. It's just not fair.
I also feel sadness becuz no one is allowed to say ONE nice thing about the man without being labeled a "loonie". Do you really think it's totally impossible to feel warmth for the man and, at the same time, realize that he was a mess?
It's hard - I get that the people who think he was a pedo are angry becuz, yeah, we shouldn't celebrate pedos. We just don't all believe the same thing.

Frankly a man with a wolf-shirt shouldn't settle for the first thing that comes to him.
We'll never know the truth about MJ..
he lied about everything and had people around him cover up everything.
He may have been "a child on the inside" but guess that? CHILDREN LIE!

MJ fans have officially overtaken Brangeloonies in terms of pure, undiluted delusion.
That was terrible, just like his last couple of public appearances. At least he didn't try to sing in this video - after listening to him croak through We Are the World a couple of years ago, it was pretty obvious that he had lost any singing ability that me might have had.
Oh, and that was no better than Brit Brit at the circus. Britney was an incredible performer at one time, but she's completely lost it now, and it doesn't look as though she even cares. Still, you have retards who will continue to buy tickets to her power-walking shows and will claim that nothing has changed.
Same thing with Jacko fans.
Hell, even Paula Abdul's American Idol performances were more convincing than that.
And anybody who wants to pull the 'HE'S DEEEAAAD' card can STFU. :3
Go through the old MJ posts and you'll see a bunch of people with Afro-Michael slating him. Whatever.
He looks underweight, slow and completely disinterested. He was not well; addicts are never well, and they will never be well until somebody takes the nerve to tell them that they are a complete mess.
Nobody would do it when he was alive, and now he's dead. His corpse looks like a voodoo doll by all accounts, and yet there's still people sticking their fingers in their ears - HE LOOKS FINE!
He hasn't been 'Michael Jackson' for the past 15 years.

The dancing is not the same as it used to be...well, it's 25 years later, so I guess it's actually OK :)
Did he sing live at the rehearsal?
I hope they release more footage -- I'm sure they will. Anyway, it sounds like it would've been a good concert. Is it true Madonna was going to do a number with him on the opening night of his tour? It would've been fun.
Who was it the other day who posted on this board that the only worthwhile part of that movie about the Jacksons was when Angela Bassett catches "Joe" talking to his girlfriend on the phone and screams, "I don't want you, I don't want you, I don't want you no more?" What the hell, I accidentally caught that on tv today -- a portion of it -- and I knew when I stumbled on it, that I was going to see the exact part referenced. And there it was.

Hey, man. I've been saying that for days now. I'm waiting for the equivalent of the usual brangeloonie comments like "God bless Michael Jackson" and "Michael jackson is a god, a philanthropist, selfless and donates millions and millions to charity". Seems like if you don't worship this fucker, you are an ignorant jellys h8r. Fuck it!.
And whatever, I still say, based on this video MICHAEL JACKSON HAS THE WILL,THE INSPIRATION AND ENERGY TO PERFORM, JUST LIKE SHITTERS. I didn't say he was as non-talented or drugged out as her. Shit! reading comprehension, people.
Anyway, both were urged to tour to pay the bills, no? hahaha!. Whatever. I'm an ignorant piece of neutral dlister and no matter how many times I'm yelled at for not praising Michael Jackson, I will still have my own damn opinion. Thanks.

I agree with your comment, even if I am more inclined to believe that he was a child molester. I can not blame people for believing he was innocent. It was a very complex case after all, and even I gotta admit that a part of me wishes he was not guilty. As for people feeding the crazy circus with the weird-ass accusations, people go to great lengths to be entertained. This is unfortunately just the beginning.

Agree 100%. All this sudden respect towards MJ would have made a difference when he was alive, but now, it's become pointless. Lovers will keep on loving him and the haters will keep on hating him. It would be nice not to kill each other in the process though.
_______________________________________________
totally agree with u on that Lory. which is why I wouldn't get hot and sweaty arguing over MJ, especially as I dont even know the truth. pointless endeavor when some ppl will hold fast to their beliefs no matter what (on both sides of the argument). my point was really that ppl are so willing to believe any bad story that comes along as soon as its uttered regardless of the source or credibility of the story. if someone said MJ married bubbles some ppl would comment "i knew it!". since he's died there are THREE stories that have come out on the net, subsequently been picked up by the news media, and then proven to be FALSE. the nanny, debbie rowe's statement, and one other i forget at the moment. it would be nice if before picking a side ppl would do a little research is all, that or remain nuetral, especially as i said for such a serious charge. i dont throw the word 'pedo' around all willy nilly, thats a serious SERIOUS thing for me. this can go for the fans too. . .the ones who loved him so much they NEVER considered that he might be guilty, because after all there are children involved and I think they deserve to be heard and have their stories investigated a little. I did and i came to the conclusion i did. if someone else does and comes to another conclusion, I can only respect that. but i turn on the tv and see nancy grace types almost salivating at the prospect of more leaked and bizarre stories regarding this diceased man. . .they're so excited they pounce on any story that comes down the pike, with what seems like little effort made to validate a claim. maybe i'm the only one this bothers, but maybe if we the audience were more willing to question what the media reports maybe the creators of stories like 'michael jackson fathered one of my twins' wouldnt be coming out of the woodwork and prospering doing so. lastly, i saw ur last post and i wont say its not troubling but I cant make the jump from a man *openly admitting* he sleeps in bed with children to pedophile. seems to me he'd be more covert about that. thats just one oppinion. damn i meant this to be short, cant help but be long winded lol
one last question. . . does it seem odd to anyone else that after interviewing literally thousands of children who at one time visited neverland ranch, D.A. Tom Sneddon was only able to come up with ONE family willing to make an accusation. . .against a wealthy man at that? I'm no expert but aren't pedophiles usually more prolific than that?

LORRRRYYY... can I ask you something?
if any of you who condemn him as a pedo could come up with one piece of actual evidence presented in the trial I'd respect your oppinions more. . .as it is I know most of you guys base your self righteous belief that he's a pedo on the fact that he came to court in pajamas or that his face is a wreck or that his skin is light. would you have believed the same allegations against a paul newman, or gregory peck? thats so sad. . .
-------------------
Nope, actually people their self righteous belief that he was a pedo on the fact that he slept with kids and admitted to it. He said he didn't see anything wrong with that. Spoken like a true sociopath. Which reminds me, aren't you doing exactly what the haters do? Assuming too much? Can you say hypocritical?
but I think that if all the MJ 'haters' lined themselves up they'd be pretty surprised to see that they're outnumbered by the supporters many times over.

You mean after his death or before his death? Anyway, Is that kind of statement valid in court?

@Shannon_52: This is an American who wholeheartedly agrees with your concluding sentiment. I don't put performers on a pedestal, which is why I come to this sight, to let off steam about people who do and then tear them down because they didn't turn out to be gods. Funnier still are the performers who put themselves up as gods for whatever reasons, and they have flack coming to them, too, they shouldn't bithc. MJ was guilty of falling for the pedestal-worship of his fans, but I give him a pass because he was so viciously abused as a child, both emotionally and physically, and many just don't recover from trauma like that, especially under the exceptional scrutiny he received since he was a toddler. And good night to you, am veeery tired, so please excuse any typos I didn't catch.
