The Mermaid, you couldn’t have summed M.J. up any better:
“Just plain wrong”
But as wrong as he/she/it is, I just can not stop looking at the face. It’s not like he’s become caucasian - because no white person is THAT white. He’s like, WHITE white. He’s like Powder. Remember that movie?
Powder laughs at Michael Jackson.
But who were those people in the audience on that CBS special? Who still likes this guy? There was something very, very not right about that audience. It’s like, they were showing footage of a completely different audience. Like they were screaming and yelling for some other performer. Either that, or they were hypnotized. I know that’s what they did when MJ appeared on MTV (during Total Request Live) - not the hypnotizing thing, but when they showed the interview with him and that load, Mr. Charisma himself, Carson Daily, and they would show fans screaming and yelling - and it was TOTALLY obvious that MJ was no where near a real live audience.
They always show that-like the massive group orgasm that the crowd in his HIStory video had when they unveil that huge Lady Liberty sized statue of Michael.
Good lord-isn’t there a limit to how much plastic surgery one can get before one’s face collapses?
Yeah I caught the special too. (Part of the job and all.)
What stood out most to me - you know other than the freakish appearance - was that he lip-synced “Beat It” and Billie Jean". Now understand, this was footage from a live concert. One that some people paid as much as $2500 to see. . . and he’s bloody lip-syncing his biggest hits ?? WTF ? He actually used that one white glove (which was two sizes too big) to cover his face while he “sang”. On TV it was fairly obvious he was not actually singing, but I am sure there live at the time they had no idea. What a rip off !
I will say one thing for him though, good gravy the man can dance. He did a sideways moonwalk that was amazing.
What I find even more terrifying is that he just announced his decision, in the face of this wild and crazy world, to sequester his kids at his Neverland ranch. It’s got to be hard enough on these poor children, mental health-wise, to have Michael Jackson for a father–but now he’s going to isolate them from all normal society. These kids are going to need a lot of therapy.
I saw fragments - ugly stuff. What was most nauseating was when he was in the audience early on and other acts performed and as soon as they finished there he is rising beatifically from his seat and clapping little tiny claps, just like some 30’s Hollywood starlet trying to act like a duchess.
Sooo condescending.
The audience amazed me too. And they were indeed at the same concert as we were watching, because most of them were singing along with michael.
Unless…
Do you think they used the technology from “Babe” and superimposed moving mouths in sync with Wacko Jacko on a Wayne Newton audience?
