Five Reasons You Need to See "Michael Jackson's...
The music: From the opening performance of “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’”, everything sounds fantastic. Hey: It is a concert, after all. Michael’s voice sounds shockingly good. Is the singing shown always from these rehearsals? Doubtful. There are times there’s no question that it’s him singing; especially when he intermittently switches from song to...

My Night of "This Is It"
Just…I am speechless. Really I am…I wish I could have written something when I got out the movie (1130…it’s now 145).
I will say this though: while you watch the movie, you will forget that Michael left. I didn’t cry ONCE. Please go see it.
PS. Stay after the credits. You’ll thank me.

Michael Jackson - COOK?!?
In 1993, Michael wrote the introduction to a cookbook for families published by Neiman Marcus, Pigtails and Frog Legs. The book was illustrated by legendary Warner Bros. Cartoon artist Chuck Jones. Above is Jones’ portrayal of Michael.
To a child, food is something special. It isn’t just a delicious taste or the vitamins that build a healthy body. Food is love and caring, security and hope — all...

Elizabeth Taylor On "Michael Jackson's This Is It"
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...

Crying Again
Jackson’s last rehearsal wrapped just ten hours before his death. Those who were there that day say that, with less than three weeks left to go until opening night in London, Jackson left that night feeling confident and strong. “We were walking to our cars at about 12:30,” Phillips says. “He put his arms around me, and, in that little, lilting voice of his, he said, ‘Thank you for getting me this...
“Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to...”

CELEBRATION: A RETARDATION
So, Mr. Brainwash gives us brilliant artwork which coincides with an equally stunning promotional campaign, so of course Warner Bros. botches the audio portion. I’m particularly sensitive to this right now given the quality, care and accuracy that went into the recently re-released Beatles catalog.
26 years in, is no one going to step up to preserve Madonna’s recorded legacy?
Lest the tone of...

Top Ten Questions Everyone SHOULD Be Asking About...
1. The ultimate question surrounding his life is not how strangely he lived, or how he died, but how did Michael Jackson exist in this material world to begin with? We were lucky to have experienced him at all. 2. Has he ever made a mistake? Despite all the courtroom allegations, financial woes, and social gaffes, I have never witnessed one instance of Michael Jackson actually messing up...

After Michael Jackson Died....by Sean of...
I
After Michael Jackson died the first thing he learned was quiet. His spirit slipped lightly from his body It was as light as he had dreamed of being for years like diamonds, grass pollen, the dust that sits on mirrored surfaces.
His spirit slipped like steam from a kettle’s spout. Briefly he thought of his grandmother, and he wondered if he would see her soon, now that he was...

If the Internet had been around when "Thriller"...
OffDWall78: I don't know, maybe I'm just used to the demo of 'Billie Jean' that leaked, but the final version seems 'off' to me.
ABC123DoReMi: OffDWall78, MJ is going to reach a lot more people with this record. It sucks that he won't be 'ours' anymore, but good for him
OffDWall78: So far, after my first listen, 'Thriller' is my least favorite song on the album. It just seems, I don't know, overproduced.
