NAPKINS

 
Seconds before the camera flash went off, a Jackson’s aide rushed up to MJ and handed him a Sharpie pen and about 25 or so cocktail sized napkins into his “GLOVE” and then said “Hey Mikey….the promoter wants you to sign these”. I well remember the aide getting out of the way of the shot but MJ is looking straight at him and no….not too happy. More mad than sad. After the flashes of about 10 cameras went off, Michael just sorta’ said to anyone who could hear…”Don’t we have any regular pictures to sign? I mean c’mon man…NAPKINS????” Hahahahahahaha!!!!!! That’s the TRUE STORY of the look on his face in that picture. Up until then he was a very quiet yet pleasant superstar who was happy to talk about Gospel Music. This picture was taken on 7/31/81.

Åh, vad jag längtar tills dokumentären om Off the wall kommer, på tal om ingenting!!!
Ni vet väl att man kan köpa BAD 25-dokumentären på iTunes? Jag gjorde det fastän man kan se den online, för jag vill ekonomiskt stödja dessa projekt så de kan göra fler! ;)

FAKTA #82

 
Elizabeth Taylor har sagt att hon skulle ha varit galen om hon inte kände Michael Jackson. Att deras vänskap var grundläggande för hennes mentala hälsa.

GIRL, I NEED YOUR SWEET CARESS, OH

ÄNDRINGAR I HEADERN

 
Ni har kanske märkt att två bilder i headern har ändrats (bokstäverna "E" och "O"), och nu har även bilden i bokstaven "J" ändrats. Har velat representera Michaels sena tonår och Mature Era så länge, och snälla Therese som gjorde headern åt mig för länge sedan ställde upp! Tack!!!
 
Att det faktiskt finns människor som ställer upp och gör saker för främlingar utan någon betalning värmer mitt hjärta. Det är så otroligt fint.

PAUS

 
Osläppt material. Under en paus från filmandet av dokumentären.

DAGENS BILD

 
Bakom kulisserna av Pepsi-reklamen 1993: Michael och pojken som spelade honom när han var liten.

19 DECEMBER, 1993

 
"Even his fans are deserting him"... Jo, visst, några lämnade honom såklart, men det där får det att låta som om det är mer än halva delen av hans fans. Alltså, *läsfulaordhär*. Dock stämmer det där om att hans vänner var tysta, och jag hoppas att de ångrar det oerhört, för de måste ha vetat hur det såg ut för allmänheten. Men de ville väl inte dras in i det...

MONEY

 
Money. Money... Lie for it. Spy for it. Kill for it. Die for it. So you call it trust, but I say it's just in the Devil's game of greed and lust. They don't care, they do me for the money. They don't care, they use me for the money. So you go to church, read the holy word? In the scheme of life, it's all absurd. They don't care, they'd kill for the money. Do or dare, the thrill for the money. You're saluting the flag, your country trusts you – now you're wearing a badge, you're called the "Just Few", and you're fighting the wars, a soldier must do. I'll never betray or deceive you, my friend, but if you show me the cash, then I will take it. If you tell me to cry, then I will fake it. If you give me a hand, then I will shake it. You'll do anything for money...
 
Anything, anything, anything for money. Would lie for you, would die for you, even sell my soul to the Devil. (x2)
 
Insurance? Where do your loyalties lie? Is that your alibi? I don't think so, you don't care! You'd do her for the money. Say it's fair, you'd sue her for the money. Want your pot of gold, need the Midas touch. But you sell your soul, 'cause your God is such. You don't care, you kill for the money. Do or dare, the thrill for the money. Are you infected with the same disease of lust, gluttoney and greed? Then watch the ones with the biggest smiles, the idle jabbers, 'cause they're the backstabbers. If you know it's a lie, then you will swear it. If you give it with guilt, then you will bear it. If it's taking a chance, then you will dare it. You'll do anything for money...
 
Anything, anything, anything for money. Would lie for you, would die for you, even sell my soul to the Devil. (x4)
 
You say you wouldn't do it for all the money in the world, I don't think so! If you show me the man, then I will sell him. If you ask me to lie, then I will tell him. If you're dealing with God, then you will hell him. You'll do anything for money... Anything, anything for money, would lie for you, would die for you, even sell my soul to the Devil...
 
Money, if you want it? You earn it, with dignity. Buffet, Morgan, Rothschild, Rockefeller, Carneige, KKK.

INSPELNING AV "SCREAM"

YOU DIDN'T SEE HER EYES ON ME, NO

 
I Sverige på Lisseberg, 1988.

BRITTISK

 
När Michael talade med brittisk accent >>>>

THAT'S ALL

    
 
I am going to say something I have never said before and this is the truth. I have no reason to lie to you and God knows I am telling the truth. I think all my success and fame and I have wanted it, I have wanted it because I wanted to be loved. That’s all. That’s the real truth. I wanted people to love me, truly love me, because I never really felt loved. I said I know I have an ability. Maybe if I sharpened my craft, maybe people will love me more. I just wanted to be loved because I think it is very important to be loved and to tell people that you love them and to look in their eyes and say it.

"BLACK OR WHITE" RECORDINGS

 
"I don't do dirty dancing" Ok, visst, Michael, tro vad du vill ;)
 
Aldrig tidigare sett detta! *hjärtögon*

DAGENS BILD

TORTURED, EXPLOITED, PUNISHED

 
I will defend Michael Jackson to my last breath. I know he was INNOCENT, I know he was targeted because he was wealthy and famous and perceived as very vulnerable and that made him a target for all kinds of people. People who got anywhere near Michael Jackson thought they could profit in one way or another. People wanted MONEY from him from the earliest times. Even in his darkest hours, people were suing him, even in the most troubling time imaginable, people were after his MONEY. The pressure on this poor soul was just enormous. He was a brilliant genius and a kind, gentle soul who was TORTURED, EXPLOITED, PUNISHED FOR THINGS HE HADN’T DONE. I will always feel HONORED to have defended him

PARIS PÅ CHINESE THEATRE

 
Paris besökte nyligen Michaels plats på Grauman's Chinese Theatre.

AUSTIN BROWN PÅ INSTAGRAM

 
Okej. Så hittade detta på Austin Browns Instagram (Rebbies son). Alltså. Är så glad att han säger sanningen, att denna kärlek och uppskattning Michael får nu, efter hans bortgång, var så behövlig när han fortfarande var i livet. Att det hade räddat honom...
 
Ett fan har skrivit detta och det är så sant:
 
Michael Jackson was so alone while he was still alive... Now it seems he has lots of friends.

I TRY TO BE VERY POSITIVE

 

When we listen to your music, your consistent messages are love and peace. What are the things you are concerned about the situation nowadays? 

 

I try to be very positive in my songs when I write them and look at the bright side of things and I’m not totally happy with the situation in the world, but I always try to write songs with a positive message in it to convey hope for people to make things better and not look at the down side all the time or promote something negative or bad. Even though I did an album called BAD but I meant “bad” in a good way (skrattar).

"GOT TO BE THERE" LIVE

 
Michael sjunger "Got to be there" live i Japan 1973.

DOCTOR MY EYES

"SCREAM" ACAPELLA

 
Aldrig vetat att det har funnits en Explicit-version av "Scream". Är så glad. Just stop fucking with me låter så tydligt. Älskar det.

NO WOMAN COULD BE SAFE

 
"The Michael that people read about and see on TV was not the real Michael. They portray him to be some weird, quiet, asexual, virgin, hermit, that he is not.
 
Michael Joseph Jackson was one of the most flirtatious men I've ever encountered. Always throws me that people think he is asexual or even gay. Michael loves women. Period. Black women, big women, little women, white women, tall women... all women. No woman could be safe around The King of Pop.
 
As shy as he was, he ever hesitated to place his hands on my hips or stare at different women. He would be embarrassed to be caught taken a peek at cleavage or a booty. It was always a big laugh catching Mike glancing at someone's assets. I saw to him being very much hetero."

PRESENCE

 
"When you were in Michael Jackson's presence, you felt the energy shift, he had a special presence that is unexplainable. He was born special." ~ KEYA MORGAN

"KEEP THE FAITH" GER LIV

 
Anonym: Den texten är fan magi!!
 
Jag vet!!!! "Keep the faith" är en av de bästa låtarna i hela världen när man behöver modet att jaga sin dröm. För den handlar om vad Michael en gång sa: "Whatever you believe, you become." Vet inte hur många gånger jag har lyssnat på den just idag och varje gång hade jag gåshud mot slutet, för Michaels sång är också så fantastisk. Speciellt när han sjunger "You've known me long enough to know that I don't play" – dööör vad bra. <3

KEEP THE FAITH

 
If you call out loud, will it get inside. Through the heart of your surrender, to your alibies. And you can say the words like you understand, but the power's in believing, so give yourself a chance. 'Cause you can climb the highest mountain, swim the deepest sea, hee. All you need is the will to want it and uhh, little self-esteem. So keep the faith! Don't let nobody turn you 'round. You gotta know when it's good to go, to get your dreams up off the ground. So keep the faith, baby, yea. Because it's just a matter of time before your confidence will win out. Believe in yourself no matter what it's gon' take. You can be a winner but you got to keep the faith! Gon' keep it, brother, you got it.
 
And when you think of trust, does it leed you home, to a place that you only dream of when you're all alone? And you can go by feel, 'stead of circumstance, but the power's in believing, so give yourself a chance. I know that you can sail across the water, float across the sky, high. Any road that you take will get you there, if you only try. So keep the faith, ow! Don't let nobody take you down, brother. Just keep your eyes on the prize and your feet flat on the ground. So keep the faith, baby, yea. Because it's just a matter of time before your confidence will win out.
 
I told my brother how to do the thing right: lift up your head and show the world you got pride! Go for what you want, don't let 'em get in your way. You can be a winner but you got to keep the faith. Gon' keep it, brother, you got it.
 
I know that keepin' the faith means never givin' up on love, but the power that love has to make it right, makes it, makes it right! So keep the faith! Gon'! Don't let nobody turn you 'round, brother. You gotta know when it's good to go, to get your dreams up off the ground. So keep the faith, baby, yea. Because it's just a matter of time before your confidence will win out.
 
Better stand up and act like you wanna do right. Don't play the fool for the rest of your life. Work on it, brother, and you'll make it someday. Go for what you want and don't forget the faith. Look at yourself and what you doin' right now. Stand back a minute, just to check yourself out. Straighten out your life and how you're livin' each day. Get yourself together 'cause you got to keep the faith. Gon'! Don't let nobody take you down, brother! Just keep your eyes on the prize and your feet flat on the ground. So keep the faith, baby, yea. Because it's just a matter of time before your confidence will win out.
 
Lift up your mind before your mind gets blown. Some things in life, you best just leave them alone. Go for what you want, don't let it get in your way. You can make it happen, but ya got to keep the faith. Gon' keep it, brother, you got to keep the faith. Yeah, keep the faith. Gon' keep it, sister, you got to keep the faith, na, na! I'll show my brotha how to do the thing right: lift up your head and show the world you got pride! Go for what you want, don't let 'em get in your way. You can be a winner if you keepin' the faith.
 
Straighten out yourself and get your mind on track. Dust off your butt and get your self-respect back. You've known me long enough to know that I don't play. Take it like you want it, but you got to keep the faith. Gon'! Don't let nobody take you down. Just keep your eyes on the prize, and get your feet back on the ground. So keep the faith, baby, yea. Because it's just a matter of time before your confidence will win out. But till that day I said you've got to keep the faith!

BEAUTIFUL, INCREDIBLE

 
"Whenever he couldn’t sleep, we’d hear him in the studio. The way it was set up we could see the studio windows from the trailer. It’d be three-thirty in the morning, pitch black outside, the whole neighborhood quiet. The light in the studio would come on. You wouldn’t hear anything for a while. There was a TV in there; maybe he was watching videos or something. Then, about fifteen minutes later, you’d hear a bass line. You’d hear him adjusting the volume, the tempo, you’d hear his feet moving on the boards – and then that voice, that voice that sold millions of records. It would just come pouring out of him. Beautiful. Incredible.“
 

It gave me goose bumps. How could you not get goose bumps, hearing Michael Jackson perform like that? In the dead of night, just sitting there and listening by yourself, no one else around? We never really got used to it. It was always amazing no matter how many times we heard it.“

EACH DAY I LOVE YOU MORE AND MORE

DO WHAT YOU WANNA

 
Do what you wanna. And do it. I got to convince you, you gotta stick to it. Keep on striving towards your goal. If it's right, don't let it go. Live your life you wanna live. Don't be phony; just be for real. People, be yourself. Don't be nobody, nobody else!

Don't let nobody fool you around. Tryin' to turn your life upside down. Just be strong in your field. And when you reach the top, happily you will live. People, be yourself. Don't be nobody, nobody else! Do what you wanna! Do what you wanna, people!

CALLING ON THE NITE LINE

LIKE IT WAS AN IMPOSSIBLE DREAM

 
"It was happy hour, everybody getting off work. Mr. Jackson was watching the people going in and out of the bar, and he said, 'One day, I'm gonna walk into one of these places and sit down and say, 'Bartender, give me a beer!' One day, I'm just gonna do it. I'm just gonna walk in and do it.'
 
He said it the same way a twelve-year-old kid would talk about growing up to be an astronaut. Like it was an impossible dream and someday he was going to get there."
 
~ Protecting Michael Jackson in his final days

IT DIDN'T HAVE TO BE ME

 
“I feel very thankful and blessed to have the ability to do what I’m able to do, cause it could have been easily someone else. It didn’t have to be me but I was chosen and I love it and i cherish it and I think its a wonderful feeling.”

BRUNO PÅ SNL

 
 
Bruno Mars imiterar Michael på komedishowen Saturday Night Live!
 
Jag skrattar högt för efter att han har sjungt "Smooth Criminal" är det en som säger "No one who knows the right lyrics to that song." Haha, det är ju sant att det är svårt att höra vad Michael sjunger om man inte har läst låttexten!
 
Bruno spelar en praktikant som heter Devon, som tvingas uppträda som artister, däribland Michael, för en radiokanal då den har förlorat elen. Ni kan se hela scenen här.

Ett fan har skrivit detta om bilden:
 

This picture makes me so sad. Look at that painful expression on his face :(

 

I know fans would never intentionally hurt Michael, they just got so carried away with being close to him that it took over everything. Had I ever had the chance to see him I’d probably have done the same. 


He knew it was out of love too, he said so, but still… imagine this happening to you everytime you went somewhere. I’m sure he preferred the fans to the paparazzi, but he really was so trapped in his fame. He couldn’t escape it anywhere.

 

I don’t even know what my point is, it just made me so sad to seeing this picture.

Anonym: Älskar faktiskt den låten även om den är riktigt gammal :D
 
Vadå "även om"??? Äldre låtar är ju underbara! :) Lyssna på "Tutti Frutti", "Long tall Sally" och "Good Golly Miss Molly" med Little Richard, och "(You make me feel like) a natural woman" med Aretha Franklin, "Rave on" med Buddy Holly, "You can't hurry love" med The Supremes, "Stupid cupid" med Wanda Jackson, "I can't help myself (Sugar pie, Honey bunch)" och "Loco in Acapulco" med Four Tops, "How deep is your love" med Bee Gees, "Ain't no mountain high enough" med Marvin Gaye och Tammi Terrell...
 
(Visst ser det ut som om Michael sitter i knät på Chuck Berry? Åh!)

YOU CAN'T HURRY LOVE

 
Whaaat?! Hade ingen aning om att Jackson 5 hade gjort en cover av "You can't hurry love". Tipsar också om låten "Cupid" på Come and get it: The rare pearls, så söt låt! Finns på Spotify.
