The moonwalk
The moonwalk
1.The Moonwalk~ What move is as legendary or as remembered as the moonwalk? The moonwalk is one of the most famous moves in all history. I don't really know where Michael learned it from, I mean there are so many storries I've heard about it. Like he learned it from the guy who first did it and then Michael just perfected it. Then I heard the Michael learned it from children and streat dancers. Idk if it's a mix of all of those. There are many storries where there are two different storries that could both be true. Like the story behind the song Speechless. People say that Michael wrote it after a water balloon fight, and others say he wrote it after taking a walk in the forest, both could be true, like having a water fight in the forest. But I really don't care where it came from or who did it before Michael, all I know is that it makes my jaw drop whenever I see it. I can do the moonwalk, but it took me 9 months to make it look just a little bit like what Michael did. Has anyone seen JB moonwalk? He can't do it. lol.

2.Crotch Grab~ Well I really love the one he dose at the beginning of preforming Billie Jean, it goes perfectly with the beat. And the story of why he dose it is another one where both could be right. People say that he did it because girls went crazy when he did it (well of course), but Michael said that he did it accidentally (I don't believe that, lol), but others say that is was planed choreography. Now I can believe all of them. I bet that Michael did it sometimes knowing that it made the girls happy, and then sometimes the music just made him go crazy and made him do it without even knowing he was doing it. But is some performances you can tell that it was planed, because all the dancers were doing it, or he dose it at the same time in the same song every time he dose it, like Billie Jean. (I don't do this move, unless I'm playing Michael Jackson the Experience on Wii.)


Spinin spinin all day long
Spinin spinin all day long
3.The Spin~ I still don't know how Michael dose those long spins and then manages to land on his toes!!!! But I love when he spins then falls to his knees, pure passion and power. Those short little spins are amazing too, (now those I can actually do). It is kind of funny how people started to notice his spin and kick in the Thriller era and not earlier. He was doing that spin since he was a little kid. I noticed that recently, because I have been watching more J5 stuff because I really haven't before. I've paid more attention to Michael's solo years more then those years he spent with his brothers. But now I'm listening to J5 music and watching Michael dance when he was little, and I really think that it was amazing what he could do at such a young age.


Oh yeah! Go for the toes!
Oh yeah! Go for the toes!
4.The Toe Stand~ He doesn't just stand on his toes, he moves into this sort of S looking position and his legs and feet are curved in a way that makes it look imposable to do. Idk how to explain it better then that. The toe stand looks like it would really hurt that's why I haven't really ever tried to do it. I don't know why Michael got so mad at himself when he "didn't stay long enough" on his toes in his first performance of Billie Jean at Motown 25. I don't know anyone who moonwalk, spin at least 6 times around then land perfectly on his toes and stay there for more then three seconds. Michael was a professional, and he thought he screwed up the whole show. He didn't know that he just made history. He thought he did a horrible job until that one little boy gave him that one little complement.


Dangerous!
Dangerous!
5.The Feet Shuffle~ I know that sounds weird but idk what else to call it! It's basically all those cool moves that Michael dose with his feet in the cat dance. It's just one of those many moves which I have no clue how he dose it, normal. And the feet shuffle is also the move that Michael dose in the dangerous performance where he shuffles his feet. It is just such a cool and interesting move!


chuga chuga choooo chooo!
chuga chuga choooo chooo!
6. The Train~ I wish I knew the names of these moves!! But that's what it looks like to me. This is the move that Michael dose in the short film Bad where Michael and all the other dancers are scooting across the floor like a train (as soon as I wrote the word, Bad , the song Bad came on on my computer! haha!) And Michael also dose it in Another Part of me performance. Awesome move! I can sort of do it..... for like 8 steps. All of Michael's moves, even the most simple ones are like almost imposable to do right. Michael is the king.


hop hop kick!
hop hop kick!
7.The Hop hop kick~ Oh my gosh I'm starting to sound like one of those trainers on MJ the Experience! That's what they said about this move. "You just have to hop hop then kick! Hop hop kick!" So I just call it hop hop kick. You guys are probably laughing at what I call some of these moves. I don't blame you. I just don't know what they are called!!! Until I find out I will continue to call them these names. At least I know the names of some of the moves, like "the crotch grab". If I didn't know the name I probably would have called it, " The grab he dose that makes girls faint". Anyway, this move Michael dose in TDCAU (too lazy to type it all out). Now you know what I'm talking about. When I try to hop hop kick my sister starts to laugh her head off. So I stopped trying. Hope you enjoyed my rambling!


karate kid!!! lol
karate kid!!! lol
8.The Kick~ No wonder Michael had a black belt in karate! I so wouldn't want to be in a fight with Michael! I'd be dead with one kick! I try to imagine Michael practicing karate, and I stat to laugh at what I imagine. Michael was so healthy and fit. It made me laugh when I read that Michael once challenged a doctor who thought that he wasn't fit, to a race, Michael won of course. Michael was such a fast runner! He was a real speed demon!


Throw it back!
Throw it back!
9.The jacket throw back~ Oooooo love this move. So simple yet beautiful. I do this move whenever I wear a jacket, it's very fun to do. Whenever Michael pushes his Jacket back it makes me want to hit replay. Those simple little moves Michael did are some of my favorites. (I count all little moves like, finger pointing and punches, and throw backs in this section.)


Dancing machine

10.The robot~ Oh my goodness! I forgot to put this on higher! Haha. I just want to say that Michael is probably the best robot dancer that I have ever seen. I can't do those moves. I love the song Dancing Machine because of Michael's robot dance! I really dose look like a robot when he dose it. (Great, now I have that song stuck in my head! > <)

Essie read the note over and over again. She couldn't believe it. An unknown fan was coming to her concert. That day, she had nothing in mind but the note. Nightfall came. As she lay in bed, she still couldn't stop thinking about the note. Even as she closed her eyes, it was all that she could think of. That night, she kept twisting and turning. She kept thinking who was the anonymous fan. She kept thinking of a person who has a name that starts with a letter M. Suddenly, she stopped at the thought of her childhood idol Michael Jackson. "Could it be? Nah..." she thought to herself. "I'll just...

By the time that the Jacksons, Diana, and Elizabeth arrived at Neverland, Michael tried to compose himself and wiped his face. But when he saw Katherine, he began crying again and she comforted him.

When Kai and Grace saw Joseph Jackson, they were scared that they would get fired on the spot. But he reassured them that everything would be okay and asked what happened. They told him the whole story and he listened quietly. Grace also added that Paris had been missing since nap time. When she was finished, he repeated everything that they had said to Jackie and to the rest of the brothers.

After Greg had left, Jasmine and Michael sat beside each other and did not speak. For a long time, it was quite in the room. Finally, he broke the silence between them.

"Jasmine?",he said softly and she turned to look at him.

"I want you to know that I get it now."

"Do you?"

"Yes,but I want you to know something."

"What?"

"I'm not like Greg and I would never do anything to hurt you."

She sighed and stared at the wall.

"Damn it,Jasmine! Look at me!", he said fiercely and she turned back to him and looked at him.

"I know that he hurt you and now you are scared to get hurt again,but you don't have to be...

When Jasmine refused to answer his calls again, Michael decided to go to her apartment. He was leaving on Valentine's Day and he would be gone for 2 years. He did not want to leave without talking to her one more time.

Although many artists went on tour to promote their music, Michael loathed touring. He really loved his fans and did want to do anything that would disappoint them. Michael hated being mobbed by over enthusciatic girls, who ripped at his clothes, scratched, and pulled his hair. These girls would do anything just to touch him and they did not realize that they were hurting him...

For the first time in 6 months, Jasmine woke up with a smile on her face. Like Michael, she had a peaceful sleep and she had dreamed about him too. When she saw the rose, she smiled and blew it a kiss because she remembered that Michael had given it to her to cheer up. It had defintely worked because she could not stop thinking about him. Then she remembered that she would never see him again and the thought depressed her briefly. But she decided to accept it and move on with her life. She walked into the kitchen and fixed some cereal to eat. As she ate her breakfast, she thought about Michael...

After 18 years of installing his systems, Brad Sundberg saw everything from Michael’s work ethic to his love for his chimps. Integrators tend not to be star-struck since many cater to extremely affluent clientele. There are celebrities, and then there was Michael Jackson.

When Brad Sundberg, owner of BSUN Media Systems, mentioned his work on Michael’s infamous Neverland Valley Ranch during his CE Pro of the Week profile, questions came to mind:

What was Michael Jackson like as a client? What was he like away from the cameras?

"You Are Not Alone", released in August 1995, is the second single from Michael Jackson's album HIStory. The R&B ballad was written by R. Kelly in response to difficult times in his personal life. He then forwarded a bare demo tape to Jackson, who liked the song and decided to produce it with Kelly. Jackson's interest in the song was also linked to recent events in his personal life.

In "You Are Not Alone", Michael tried many times, to tell himself, during his most desperate and anguished times, that he did have support in his life, from a higher power, friends and family and he sure did....

Michael jumped up and ran toward were he heard the screaming girl. He found me with a knife in my shoulder; Michael called 911 and carried me into his room. He called Kaying from the front desk. She sprinted into Michael’s room to see what condition I was in. “She’s fading fast” said Kaying. Kaying tapped the knife; I let out a cry of pain, Michael held my hand. When the paramedics arrived Michael kissed my forehead, and started to cry. Kaying couldn’t bear to go so Michael volunteered. He knew he had to stay strong and not lose it. The paramedics tried to loosen up the knife, but...

Michael takes my hand and guides me into his home. "Wow your house is beautiful Michael." I said with a smile. "Why Thank you Mccala." He replys with delight. "I'm glad you're here Mccala." He says in kind of a nervous and worried tone. "Is anything wrong Michael?" I ask with concern. "No everything is fine." He smiles. "Um ok then." I reply. Michael walks towards the kitchen then he sees someone very familar. "Mccala can you give me a minute?" He asks. "Sure." I reply. Michael walks over to this guy and talks to him. "What were you thinking?" "Why did you invite that girl over there?" He says...

For a long time I was going to buy VISION DVD. But I decided first to ask other fans who already bought VISION about their opinion.
I know that visual it looks great !
The 3D cover, golden letters and a book with photos inside the box. But I'm more interested in some technical informations.

I was searching on other forums and unfortunately a lof of fans are dissapointed with this DVD :(
They complain about low sound quality or even about quality of some videos like: "The Way You Make Me Feel" or "Billie Jean".

So my question is: What do you think guys about VISION ? ( the most wanted are informations from fans who already have that and watched all three DVDs but of course it will also nice to hear the opinion from others who still don't have it and just like me have got some doubts)
Are you satisfied with VISION ?

And here problems about fans complain: (unfortunately it's not everything)

It's ridiculous how people can take such a wrong interpretation out of a innocent or constructive thing you say.

When I say that I love Michael Jackson, I'm being honest, of course!, but most important, I'm not saying that I only LOVE Michael Jackson. A few times ago, I posted a article about Lisa Marie Presley, and I think I was misunderstood. My love for another artists doesn't mean that I don't love or I'm betraying Michael.

I love Queen, I think they are genious; Dire Straits have a very special spot in my heart; Bruce Springsteen is awesome; the Bee Gees songs are just beautiful; Led...

Although 'Hold My Hand,' Akon's duet with Michael Jackson was just released as the first official single of the upcoming album, "Michael," the singer says that he will never release any unfinished material the two worked on.

Akon says 'Hold My Hand' was completely finished before the King of Pop passed away and that is the only reason it is included on the new album. Speaking to MTV News he said, "I'm definitely excited about our single, because that was finished, complete, and I'm happy with the outcome. And I know [Michael] was [happy] 'cause we were there finishing the song together, so I'm...

The R&B singer has blasted the BLACK EYED PEAS star's claim that the upcoming posthumous Jacko album is "disrespectful" to the tragic icon.

Tragic ... Michael Jackson
Will.i.am insists the King of Pop would be spinning in his grave over the December 14 release of Michael, arguing the perfectionist would never allow his songs to be heard without his approval.
He said: "Whoever put it out and is profiting off of it, I want to see how cold they are.
"To say that what (Jackson) contributed during his life wasn't enough.
"He just wasn't any ordinary artist. He was a hands-on person. To me it's disrespectful....

"Keep Your Head Up"

She's looking for a job and a finer place to stay,
She's looking for the hope and the empty promises,
She's working two jobs, keeping alive,
She works in a restaurant during day,
She waits her life away,
She wipes her tears away.
She hides inside every time she feels this way,
And she's :inside, every time her baby cries.

[Chorus:]
Keeping your head up to the sky!
Keeping your mind stay alive,
Keeping your wings so we can fly,
Keep your head up, tonight!
Keeping your head up to the sky,
Are we could just rise up, tell me now?
Give me your wings so we can fly!

Killing up the life in the birds...
