To me, it all started with Michael Jackson’s This Is IT, and then everybody started to follow. Celine Dion talked about her new documentary Celine: Through the Eyes of the world, which is a way for her fans not only to see footage from performances on her last tour but also will give her fans to see the real Celine Dion, the artist, the mother, and the wife.
she said about the movie: “I want to be kind of accessible. I don’t want to be doing this show business and be different,” she added, “What we do, it’s extravagant, it’s extraordinary. … I don’t call it a normal life but we are normal people. For people to see we live as normal as possible … makes my singing even more true and it gives me an extra bond with my fans.”
Reports say that the Investigation about Michael Jackson’s death is finally over, it took too long to collect evidence,talk to witnesses, and finding a way to put the idiot who killed the King Of Pop behind BARS….
Dr.Conrad Murray most probably will be charged with involuntary manslaughter. I really don’t care what they call it, just put the man behind bars. That idiot killed music.
I’ve been waiting for the video for quite some time now, and it’s finally released, the Official Music Video for the King Of Pop’s single This Is It directed by the Academy Award nominated film director Spike Lee is not exactly how imagined the video would be, it shows the life of the King Of Pop since he was a little boy living in Gary Indiana till the day we lost the music legend. RIP Michael..
Michael loved Christmas so much, and he always managed to make it a very special day for him and his kids, but sadly Michael’s three little kids are going to celebrate Christmas this year without their father. That’s why their aunt Janet stepped in and tried to make it just like Michael did. A source told Absolute Now: “It was to be a quiet, somber holiday this year but Janet has stepped in to make it just like Michael did – fun, Michael loved Christmas. He was like a big kid and now Janet has taken that on. She must have spent thousands on trees, decorations and the kind of toys Michael would have love to be fooling around with on Christmas morning.” the source also said, “Christmas is especially significant for the family this year as the first with Michael and the fact Christmas Day is exactly six months since his death.”..
Elizabeth Taylor was one of the first people on the planet to have a special screening of the new Michael Jackson Documentary This Is It.. and now she’s talking about it through her Twitter.. and she sure Tweeted alot, but we thank her for that.. Dame Elizabeth Tweeted:
I was honored with the great privilege of seeing “This Is It” last week. I was sworn to secrecy, but now I can let you know about it.
It is the single most brilliant piece of filmmaking I have ever seen. It cements forever Michael’s genius in every aspect of creativity.
To say the man is a genius is an understatement. He cradles each note, coaxes the music to depths beyond reality.
I wept from pure joy at his God given gift. There will never, ever be the likes of him again.
And we have this piece of film to remind us forever and ever that once there was such a man. God kissed him.
God blessed him and squandered nothing, but loved it all. Michael knew how to put together every tone, every nuance to make magic.
To say he was a genius seems so little. I wish my vocabulary encompassed what I feel.
You owe it to yourselves and your loved ones to see this again and again. Memorize it and say to yourselves, “I saw genius in my lifetime”
I loved genius in my lifetime. God was so good to me. I will love Michael forever and so will you, if you don’t already.
I hope I don’t sound condescending. I’m sure you already know what I’m talking about, but go to see it again and again.
I meant to repeat myself. I love you. I remember Michael loved you. He was totally up to now and the message of today in all his songs.
If you listen to his lyrics they are those of a modern day prophet and it beseeches us to listen to him and what he sang.
I won’t use words like preaching because that is off-putting, but listen. Listen to his messages.
From “Black And White”, “Man In The Mirror”. The inspiration behind “We Are The World”. We must take his words of responsibility seriously.
We cannot let his life be in vain / and always done with love. Remember that. Remember him and thank God for him and his genius.
Kenny Ortega did a masterful job of directing the process that goes into making a complete show before hitting the stage.
From A to Z you get Michael’s input on every level. Michael’s genius at work with the dancers. Mr. Ortega catches Michael in his every mood
You see in front of your eyes Michael’s genius blossoming on this piece of film thanks to Kenny Ortega and his crews.
I truly believe this film should be nominated in every category conceivable.
Well said Dame Elizabeth.. I’m going to watch it tonight.. Are you going to watch This Is It??
It seems that not all Michael Jackson’s fans are happy about what’s going on (The new This is It Documentary), and they are still seeking the truth behind the death of their Idol. I don’t blame anyone for doing that, as a Michael Jackson fan i want to know exactly what happened to the King Of Pop, but this group of fans who created the www.this-is-not-it.com are giving some details as facts, even though no one knows for sure that these things actually happened.. Here’s what they wrote on their site:
Michael Jackson’s shocking sudden weight loss as a result of stress and medication, reducing him to a mere 108 lbs (49kg) at the time of his death.
Kenny Ortega, the director of both the tour and the movie, having to help Michael Jackson up the stairs, having to feed him and cut his food.
Michael Jackson’s growing concerns: in May, while rehearsing over 10 hours a day, Michael Jackson confided to a few trusted fans he did not feel ready to do 50 shows, having agreed only to 10 originally, he felt pressured and the tour schedule seemed grueling.
Michael Jackson failing to show up at rehearsals because he was not well, and being picked up from his house by his choreographer to force him to go to work.
Michael Jackson’s debilitating insomnia and loss of appetite, the crippling pressure he was under, which led him to be over-prescribed and over-medicated by criminal doctors who kept him in an altered, drowsy state throughout the day and in an anesthetic coma at night.
Everyone around him witnessing to Michael Jackson looking confused and groggy, forgetting the lyrics of his own songs during rehearsals. Nonetheless, his entourage kept enabling his dangerous prescription-drug use, to keep him relaxed, rested and under ‘control’. Those very drugs are named as the cause of death in the coroner’s report.
You will also not see Michael Jackson’s loyal fans and a couple of his friends attempting to intervene, writing letters pleading for those around him to care for his condition, and ultimately, after being ignored, giving letters of concern to Michael himself. Unfortunately, those who had the power to act did not, instead they chose to keep Michael Jackson isolated and controlled.
Watch the video and tell us what you think… I really like the effort these guys are giving to reveal the truth, but they have to back it up with something…
What’s that?? The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty?? well it’s a Reality TV show about Michael Jackson’s Kids Prince, Paris, and Blanket that will never happen.. Oh thank God, this is the worst thing that i’ve heard since ages.. It seems that following Michael Jackson all his life with cameras and flashlights, now people wanna follow his kids at home, they wanna exploit the King’s Children on Television for Money, but thank God that there’s still one member of the Jackson Family that is aware of the threat that is surrounding the kids, and that is their grandmother Katherine Jackson.. Katherine Jackson said that there are no Reality Show, and it will never happen.. And she can say that because she’s the legal Gaurdian on the children, i think Michael really knew that the only person will really take care of his kids after he dies is his mother..
La Toya Jackson, Michael Jackson’s sister thinks that Michael Jackson will totally refuse the footage of This Is It rehearsal to be released in any form, she explains:”Michael always wants to give his best. This is a rehearsal. He wasn’t giving his all,He loves to give his all always. That’s just the way he is. He wants people to see him at the top of the ladder and not half-stepping because he doesn’t want to do a full-out rehearsal.”
Well to be honest, i totally agree with La Toya here, if Michael was alive he would absolutley refuse to release any footage of the rehearsal, first of all, who needs to watch the rehearsal when you have the real thing going on?? second of all, making This Is It would be a great idea but after the show is over, maybe a few clips not the whole thing, so yeah i’m with La Toya on this one..
David Gest is one of Michael Jackson’s closest friends, and he’s going to do something that i’m sure Michael will be so proud of .. David Gest is going to auction off some of the never before seen items that belonged to the King of Pop himself, and all the money will go to charity.. David said: “I am delighted to donate this rare Michael Jackson memorabilia from my personal collection to two very worthwhile charities that I strongly support, I wanted to do something special for children that are in need. Liverpool has become a second home to me and that is why I have chosen Liverpool Unites alongside the national Variety Club charity, and my best friend Michael Jackson would have agreed.†David also said“If I can even put a smile on one child’s face, then I am a better man today than I was yesterday. I hope you will all join in and bid for these one-of-a-kind items that will help raise the much needed funds these charities so richly deserve.â€
Some of the items that are going to be auctioned off are:
- original vinyl Thriller album which has never been played.
- A never-before-seen photograph signed by the King of Pop himself.
- A signed Jackson family photo.
- Michael Jackson signed cheque for $2,275,000.
- Michael Jackson signed cover of a special edition of People Extra Weekly.
Joe Jackson spoke yesterday on the Today show about Michael Jackson’s death for the first time after the death was ruled a homicide.. When Joe was asked if he’s angry about what happened, Joe said” Nooo, i’m not angry, i’m mad”, when he was asked what he was mad about he said: ” I’m mad because i didn’t know what was going on”
Obviously from Joe Jackson’s reactions he was not involved at all with Michael’s life, even though Michael said more than once that he forgave his father for what he did to him as a child and he’s willing to accept him as a father, and that he loves him very much.
Joe Jackson was asked ” you didn’t know that Michael had a problem with medications??” Joe replied.. ” I didn’t know that he was taking that type of medication”.
When Joseph was asked what does the Jackson family want after Michael’s death was officially ruled a homicide, He said “They want Justice” and Joe added, everyone involved in Michael’s death should pay the price.
Joseph was really careful and he chose his words when he talked about Michael’s kids, and he was asked what is his part in their lives he replied: “I’m their grandfather,” and he said that he loves them and he sees them enough.
